CHICKEN AND BREASTS My photograph "Dish (demicup)" [Front Page Gallery, January 23] is part of a series of images that combine visual and conceptual elements. Although it was a little hard to see in newsprint, the material of the woman's brassiere was raw chicken skin, and this is a key to the conceptual content of the work. "Dish" is about seeing something beautiful and grotesque, all bound up with the same eroticized cultural associations and language. Using the format of a lingerie

ad, I examined the parallel vernacular in our culture to describe women and chicken ("chick," "spring chicken," "chicken"). By joining the materials that carry these references, the metaphor is confronted with the physical, and the consumption of women and chicken are exposed in a graphic way so that desire itself is made strange. I hope this explanation will satisfy the jangled reader who probably did not see the chicken skin and wrote in to accuse me and
Seven Days of exploiting, using and abusing women. I am generally very fond of knee-jerk feminists, so I won't take her criticisms too personally, but in this case Lynn McNicol does owe Seven Days an apology for these serious accusations. The woman in the photograph, the woman who made the photograph, the women who recently curated the photograph in Boston and L.A., and the women who published the photograph are all participating in a dialogue about
art, aesthetics, culture, language and gender that lies beyond McNicol's self-indulgent, misinformed but well-meaning harangue. Seven Days' commitment to freedom of expression, free enterprise, intellectual stimulation, entertainment and the arts makes it a valuable asset to this northern community. I thank the women who made Seven Days possible. — Maea Brandt Burlington

CORRECTION As a result of reporting errors, three aspects of Donald Kreis' architectural review of Maple Tree Place ["That's Sprawl, Folks," February 20] in Williston require clarification or correction. Waitsfield architect Robert Burley and his firm, the Burley Partnership, are responsible for the overall plan and design of the complex. However, the Best Buy chain employed its own architects, Bignell Watkins Hasser of Annapolis, Maryland, to design the building it occupies in the complex. Likewise, the Chili's Restaurant at Maple Tree Place, though not mentioned in the review, was designed by that chain's architects, the Vincent Association of Dallas, Texas. Starwood Cerruzzi is the developer/owner of Maple Tree Place, having purchased the project from developer Ben Frank. It was Frank who negotiated the design compromises with local authorities referenced in the review. Finally, the article gave an incorrect first name for architect-writer Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk.

The Last Taboo One of the most ignored countries on Earth just enjoyed a historic Winter Olympics. It's a country near and dear to Vermont, but also a world away. Like comedian Rodney Dangerfield would put it, "Canada can't get no respect." And even though the United States of America was its victim on the Salt Lake ice, we must applaud the gold medals in mens and women's ice hockey won by our neighbor to the north. Congratulations, Canada! We'll get you in four years. Maybe. But, truth be told, Canada, the country that puts the north in North America, has a leg up on the U.S. in more areas than puck control. According to the CIA World Fact Book, the land of the loonie has a significantly lower infant mortality rate than the land of the almighty dollar (6.76 deaths per 1000 live births in the U.S. — 5.02 in Canada.) And being born in Canada not only means longer winters, it also means a longer life. Life expectancy north of the border is currently 79.56 years. In the good oP USA, life expectancy is 77.26 years. They must be doing something right, eh? Take the way Canadians handle one of the oldest medicines known to man — marijuana. In August 2000, Ontario's court of appeal ruled than banning marijuana for medicinal purposes violates the •Canadian Charter of Rights. Last July 30, Canada quietly amended its "Narcotic Control Regulations" by establishing "Marijuana Medical Access Regulations." According to Health Canada, the federal health agency, the new regulations set up "a compassionate framework" to "allow the use of marijuana by people who are "suffering from serious illness," and where the use of cannabis "is expected to have some medical benefit that outweighs the risk and use." In the land of Olympic hockey gold, the government grows grass for those who cannot grow their own. What a country! The new law went into effect last summer, and like civil unions in Vermont, nothing really changed. No one noticed. A search of Canadian news sources turns up little in the way of controversy. And the recent Olympics indicates there's no evidence that the 32 million inhabitants of Canada have turned into crazed, stoned-out drug addicts. South of the border, it's a drastically different story. American culture is obsessed with drugs in all forms. Prescription drugs, illegal drugs, dangerous drugs, drug dependence, drug commercials and full-page advertisements, drug courts and counselors and overall drug hysteria.
were approved by the FDA, I would have no problem." But what about cancer patients and others whose nausea prevents them from keeping pills down? "Well, there are suppositories, then," he answered with a wide grin. "Just speaking as a physician." Cute. Picture the headline: "Dean to pot smokers: Shove it up your ass!" But doctors do disagree on this one. Joseph McSherry M.D., a Burlington neurologist, told Seven Days, "There's no scientific or medical question that marijuana is a medicine. Marijuana has been a medicine for thousands of years." In 1937, however, it became illegal in the U.S., despite the objection of the American Medical Association, said McSherry. Neurologists treat patients afflicted with diseases of the brain, spinal chord and nervous system such as Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis. McSherry was at the Statehouse Friday to testify on the medical marijuana bill sponsored by Rep. David Zuckerman (P-Burlington). There are 40 co-sponsors. "As the governor pointed out," said Mcsherry, "things go through the FDA now. But aspirin didn't go through the FDA. Aspirin is a willow bark extract and never would have been approved because it's so highly toxic. But it's something we all use." Marijuana "is a real medicine," he added, "and from a scientific point of view, it's a medicine that affects these diseases. It's the best medicine in terms of side-effects and the potential for addiction being less." Doc Mcsherry knows, because he's seen its effect on patients in pain. And, he said, recent studies have indicated marijuana's benefit to the immune system. When used in the mouse models of multiple sclerosis, he said, marijuana prevents the diseases damage. Also on hand to testify was Deb Ramsdell, 62, a Charlotte selectboard member. Ramsdell lost her husband to cancer. He wasn't even a smoker. Ramsdell had read in the press that marijuana could be helpful for the nausea that accompanies cancer chemotherapy. "So finally in the last two months of his life," she told Seven Days, "I got him to use it. He asked for it every day. It was the main thing that kept him going. It relieved his nausea. It gave him a sense of well being. It just made life more pleasant for him. And he was going to die anyway." Reality — what a concept! "It's silliness to the point of cruelty," said Ramsdell, "to make a criminal out of a desperate cancer patient." Rep. Zuckerman told Seven Days it appears unlikely the Judiciary Committee will send the medical marijuana bill to the floor. But that doesn't necessarily mean the end of it this year. There will still be the opportunity to put the issue before the entire House as a floor amendment. Boy, Canadians must think we live in a strange, strange country.

These days U.S. politicians of every stripe are furiously piling on the pharmaceutical industry, claiming prescription drugs are too expensive. But few are willing to take on the entrenched reefer madness that does harm to so many. "Do I think the War on Drugs is terrific?" replied Gov. Howard Dean M.D., when asked the other day about the medical marijuana bill currently before the House Judiciary Committee. "No. "Do I think drugs are a public health problem? "Yes. "Do I favor legalizing marijuana? "No." Why not? "Because I think it will make the public health problem much worse," he replied. How so? "Because many, many more people will use marijuana, and some percent of those will require a substantial amount of treatment, the same as alcohol." Really? But what about marijuana prescribed by a physician? "My position," said Dr. Dean, "is if the pill form
Armory Update — There's been some movement on the part of Adjutant Gen. Martha Rainville of the Vermont National Guard in the wake of last week's barrage of bad press. She was slammed for her decision to keep after-school kids' programs out of the Guard's mostly idle armories in Burlington and Vergennes. Last Thursday the general met with three Burlington lawmakers who had written her, asking that the New North End Youth Center (NNEYC) be allowed back into the Gosse Court armory. "It seems a shame to deny children access to a successful program and leave the armory facility underutilized," they wrote. Citing security concerns in the post-September 11 world, Rainville responded like a general at war. "It would be irresponsible," she wrote on February

Make That Onan-daga Ronald Castle, 55, a 30-year employee of the Onondaga County Department of Social Services in Syracuse, New York, was charged with masturbating into the coffee cups of co-workers. • In London, the scientific analysis firm LGC sent an email asking its male employees to donate semen by visiting the first-floor toilets and providing samples, then placing them in a refrigerator. "We do technical DNA analysis," an LGC spokesperson said. "We have reason to call on staff sometimes to help us validate new scientific methods. It could be hair samples, or whatever."
Payback Time Rio de Janeiro Mayor Cesar Maya asked prosecutors to file charges against television meteorologist Luiz Carlos Austin, who predicted heavy rains on New Year's Eve that did not materialize. The forecast came a week after torrential rains and mudslides killed 71 people. "Making those kind of declarations on the most watched television station in the country could-have caused a massive panic in light of the problems we've been having with rain," Alberto Guimaraes Jr., the city's acting chief prosecutor, said. He added that
Austin could be charged with sounding a false alarm, which is punishable by up to six months in prison.
How About a Burka? The Justice Department spent about $8000 to cover two statues of semi-nude figures in its Great Hall, where Attorney General John Ashcroft was photographed on Nov. 8 while announcing plans to restructure the department to focus on terrorism in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Pictures showed him in front of the towering female statue representing the "Spirit of Justice," which is clothed but has one breast exposed. When President Bush came on Nov. 20 to name the building in honor of Robert Kennedy, that statue and a male statue representing the "Majesty of Justice" were draped with rented curtains. Spokesperson Barbara Comstock said the department decided to buy curtains and install them because it was more "cost efficient" than renting them.
Ups and Downs Paul Illian spent 16 years designing and building a human-powered airplane. In December, the 97-pound, pedal-powered craft finally lifted off the ground at Washington's
Paine Field, near Seattle, trying to break the world flight record of 72 miles. It flew only 100 feet before crashing. • Paul Clary III, 67, called 911 to report that he was working on his airplane in Sonoma County, California, when it broke free from its moorings and took off. The unoccupied Aeronca Champ flew for about two hours before running out of

fuel and crashing 20 miles away in Napa County. Aviation experts said that Champs have a history of taking off without their pilots because they require the pilot to open the throttle, then go to the front of the plane to turn the propeller to start the engine.

Adios Senor Pitchman Colombian coffee growers, who have been forced to cut their payrolls and advertising budget because of plummeting coffee prices, have retired the character Juan Valdez. The change means unemployment for Carlos Sanchez, who has portrayed Juan Valdez since 1969. "Juan Valdez is an integral part of Carlos Sanchez," Sanchez told The New York Times. "So if Juan Valdez ceases to exist, well, naturally it is like losing a limb."
Old Habits Die Hard While Daniel W. Searfoss, 43, was on probation for using a video camera hidden in his sneakers to look up women's skirts at a Wal-Mart in Plant City, Florida, he was accused of using the same method to look up the skirts of a dozen women at a church where he was serving 25 hours of community service related to the first charge. "It's worse than that," prosecutor Dean Tsourakis told the judge when Searfoss appeared in court. "He was doing it at the probation office; for instance, the cashier at the probation office."

SPRING GEAR IS HERE!
G
reeting me at the top of a gray Sunday morning, on the front page of The New York Times, was the report that Mr. Osama bin Laden, the Evil One, may still be alive on the western edges of Afghanistan. This news was offered with the customary, mile-long caveats — "The administration is not claiming to have Mr. bin Laden cornered... Capturing or killing Mr. bin Laden [still] looks like a long-term proposition" — but they have to print something, don't they? It's the New News: No News. "Administration officials said their new assessment of Mr. bin Laden is based on information obtained within the last month, but they declined to describe it further," the Times went on. "Some officials cautioned that the new evidence is far from definitive." Sure enough, before the day was out, "some officials" had denied the story on "Meet the Press" — a story • presented in the first place as a complete >Q uncertainty. No News. I Here's some more * No News: There's a "sleazy side" to competitive figure skating, to sports in general and to the Olympics in particular. So says Newsweek in its cover story, "The Fallout From Skategate" — as if we'd never seen or i heard of Tonya Harding, her blue eye shadow, her boyfriends and her bat. In ancient times, women weren't even allowed to watch the Olympics, let alone participate in them, but that's Old News. As, alas, is the fact that all athletes in ancient Greece competed in the nude or, at most, wearing a skimpy leather thong — what would now undoubtedly be called "butt floss."
are "disengaged from non-war political issues" — being fed, right now, on little else — and that they favor an invasion of Iraq by a margin of five to one. This despite the fact that 70 percent of them can't name the Secretary of Defense. That would be Donald Rumsfeld, he of the bumped-up budget. According to a passionate appeal from Democratic Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich circulated last week over the Internet, "we are upon the threshold of a permanent war economy," facing a $45.6 billion increase in military spending, for a total defense budget of nearly $400 billion. This is definitely News, or should be. "Consider that the Department of Defense has never passed an independent audit," Kucinich writes. "Consider that the Inspector General has notified Congress
sculpted breasts might disconcert reporters and scare the folks at home. That was Ashcroft, the Attorney General, whose forces will henceforth administer — in secrecy — the vilely named USA Patriot Act, signed into law by President Bush on January 26. Kucinich asks: "How can we justify in effect canceling the First Amendment and the right of free speech...? How can we justify in effect canceling the Fourth Amendment, probable cause...? How can we justify in effect canceling the Fifth Amendment, nullifying due process,..? How can we justify in effect canceling the Sixth Amendment, the right to prompt and public trial?" Ashcroft, who enjoys a 75 percent public approval rating, might conclude from reading this that I'm one of those "domestic critics" whose words "aid terrorists" and "give ammunition to our enemies." How laughably wrong! J Through a particular confluence of No-News events, I now find myself on the right — that is, the patriotic — side of a literary feud with Elizabeth Wurtzel, "Bad Girl" author of Prozac Nation, Bitch and, most recently, More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction. Wurtzel was foolish enough to tell a reporter in Toronto last week that Americans had "overreacted" to 9/11. Never mind that she thrives on saying the wrong thing, and that she said it five years ago, too, after the Oklahoma City bombing. It's No News. But the movie version of Prozac Nation opens this spring, starring Christina Ricci, and Hollywood suddenly smells a bomb.

Ancient Greeks in thongs are always News. Butt floss is No News. No-News contenders from recent days also include: • Greta van Susteren's "eyetuck" — the networks want their anchors to look younger; • the results of a study at the University of Virginia demonstrating that most children of divorced parents, contrary to belief, "do just fine" as adults, "establishing careers, creating intimate relationships, and building meaningful lives for themselves" — to the extent that anyone can in a world full o f ' experts" and blather; • the fact that American voters
that the Pentagon cannot properly account for $1.2 trillion in transactions... This has nothing to do with fighting terror. This has everything to do with fueling a military industrial machine with the treasure of our nation, risking the future of our nation, risking democracy itself with the militarization of thought which follows the militarization of the budget." Nice words, comrade, but the thought's already out there, on the march. Rumsfeld isn't the one who recently paid $8650 for drapes to cover the statue of Lady Justice at his press conferences, apparently fearing that the sight of her
"Don't be surprised if the firefighters union calls for a boycott," says MSNBC, or if audiences keep away in droves from "a movie based on the emotional struggle of someone who comes across as the most shallow, selfabsorbed, insensitive person in America." I reviewed More, Now, Again for Salon when it appeared, and it's my line that closed the network's report: "Sorry, Elizabeth. Wake up dead next time and you might have a book on your hands." I was referring not to 9/11, but to the unrelieved tedium of "recovery" memoirs. But No News is good news, too, and my phone is ringing off the hook. Fame! ®

ometime in the 21st century, Burlington's longest-serving mayor, Peter Clavelle, will call it quits as the number-one politico in town. Not just yet, though. "I still love the job and love the challenges," says Clavelle, expounding on numerous accomplishments, from the Waterfront Park to downtown business recruitment, sounding a lot like a candidate for re-election in March 2003.
But who knows? Maybe the former Winooski city manager and Burlington City Hall bureaucrat will take his progressive vision to a Montpelier office. Or maybe the guy Newsweek described in 1989 as "bald and paunchy" will land a post in Washington, D.C., in 2005, helping President Howard Dean deal with the nations mayors. Beating an incumbent mayor is not easy — though on Lake Champlain with Clavelle did get bumped off in 1993 by voters unhappy left-leaning political tradition ISO sharp, articulate, confident with his plan to allow unmarried partners of city workers woman to lead and inspire municipal government of 39,000 in to get health insurance at taxpayer expense. But the victor, Peter Brownell, kept the "domestic partners" insurance university town admired and imitated by civic leaders across the plan in place, had trouble keeping the streets plowed, and country. Political awareness, not correctness, desired. Must be Clavelle got his job back in 1995. He's won every biennial able to explain socio-economic differences between Old and New election since. North End; why the long-awaited Southern Connector is still not But when Progressive Pete does step down, he'll create built; how Act 60 really works, etc. Must also be knowledgeable an open seat, inspiring a lot of wannabe mayors to start about non-local issues such as Nicaraguan agricultural policy, rounding up supporters. With the allure of Burlington's most visible political job — and the potential power of Mideast peace plans and the history of the American left, center incumbency — the field could be as crowded as an and right political movements. Long hours, but good pay — Olympic procession. $65,000+ — and benefits, including a free reserved parking When that day comes, we hope there's a strong cadre of space next to City Hall. Opportunity to meet hundreds of new female candidates. Even Clavelle, who got the N.O.W. friends, not including lobbyists, as well as budget-busting bureauendorsement in a mayoral race against two women in crats, irate taxpayers and hard-to-please supporters. Some family 1989, routinely points out the gender inequity when City Hall-visiting schoolchildren are confronted with a wall of time permitted. all-male mayoral mugs. After nearly 150 guy-filled years, we think the top office could use a woman's touch. But just who might be considered front-rujiners? Seven Days nominates six talented, articulate, politically astute women — two Progressives, two Republicans and two Democrats — as possible candidates for the first woman Mayor of Burlington.

KAREN LAFAYETTE Karen Moran Lafayette's middle name says Burlington politics — the defunct power plant on the Waterfront was named after her grandfather, who was mayor from 1948 to 1957. Her father was a longtime head of the Burlington Housing Authority. • "My grandfather believed that government exists to serve and protect the people, especially the common person and those in need of assistance," she says. Lafayette has helped numerous other Democratic candidates over the years — including her former husband, Paul, who ran for mayor in 1987 and 1995. A lot of political people owe her. In 2000, after four terms in the Vermont House of Representatives, she
ran for one of the coveted six Chittenden County State Senate seats, but finished seventh, a handful of votes shy. She's kept a hand in politics as a legislative lobbyist for the Vermont Low Income Advocacy Council, trying to shore up key low-income programs under the Statehouse budget knife. "I think that one person can make a difference in peoples lives, and that politics can be an honorable profession," says Lafayette. "I hope my work down there can make a difference." She admits she's thought about being mayor. "I feel blessed to have been born here, and to have shared in a long family
history of involvement in the community, and I'm honored to have served as an elected official," Lafayette says. "I have campaigned citywide, had wonderful support, and would enjoy serving Burlington in some capacity down the line." She developed an expertise in school funding while in Montpelier, and schools are part of her vision for a healthy city. "Our school system should be the best," Lafayette says. "Its really our best resource in keeping Burlington a vital, attractive place for those who live here now and for those who choose to come."
BARBARA GRIMES If you like to see business experience in a political candidate, Barbara Grimes fits
the bill — and then some. She's been the general manager of Burlington Electric since early 1999, the city-owned utility that serves 16,000 residences and 3500 businesses. Before that she worked in state government as director of Housing and Community Affairs, then as director of Employment and Training. She prepped for these jobs and learned the political ropes of the city and state, representing the New North End for several terms in the House of Representatives.

Grimes knows Burlington and its issues. She knows money, budgets and how to say the most important word a budget-conscious mayor can ever invoke: "No." She can make tough decisions to keep an organization moving in the right direction. And the bottom line looks excellent — BED has held its rates stable since 1992, with an actual rate decrease in 1995, while investing millions in energy efficiency and other pro-environment projects. Recently divesting ownership in Vermont Yankee, for example, will back a wind-energy project in Southern Vermont. And there's no rate increase in sight. Makes for one nice shiny plank in a candidate's platform. When publicly commenting on future campaigns, politicians make it a rule to "never say never." But Grimes broke that one quickly, telling us she'd never be a candidate for the city's top job — she's happy right where she is. For now. . .

KATHY CONNOLLY Burlington has always been left of the rest of Vermont — even when the state was staunchly Republican. Ronald Reagan swamped Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale, but not in the Queen
the town through other means. Her contributions to and enthusiasm for the arts and civic life have helped make Burlington one of the hottest towns in the country. Last year Tarrant was honored as "Vermont's Outstanding Philanthropist of the Year" by the Northern New England Fund-raising Professionals for her financial and volunteer support of the Flynn Center, the University of Vermont and other nonprofits. The former chair of the Flynn board, that institution has named an art gallery after her. Tarrant is passionate about Burlington, and enjoys meeting all kinds of people. With her thenhusband Rich Tarrant, C E O of IDX, she has raised five children, volunteered extensively, and has given support, advice and money to favored candidates in local and state elections — usually Republicans. Though nominally a Republican herself, Tarrant could be a mayor for all parties. She keeps her Republican support by cautioning against excessive government involvement in the private sector. Progresssives and Independents could warm up to her staunch advocacy of women's, social and economic issues as well as her support of the downtown co-op. And Democrats would do well to recall that her father, the late State Senator Fred Fayette, was a key Democratic player in the ascendancy of the Democratic Party in Vermont. Former governor Phil Hoff would surely cross the line to endorse her candidacy. Tarrant was out of state and unavailable for an interview or photograph, but we think she's a woman to watch.

City. Even Michael Dukakis was king here. To win in Burlington as a Republican, you gotta catch a wave, as Peter Brownell did in 1993, or you have to be a pretty special person. There's no wave in sight — yet — for Kathy Connolly, but she is special. A community-oriented mother of six kids, two of whom are adopted, she has been a foster mother to a dozen or so more. As if that's not enough, she also volunteers at the Howard Family and Baird centers. Add her job as a Burlington School Board member, and her weekly to-do list rivals the busiest city official's. Connolly has paid her political dues, too, with terms on the Burlington City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission. She learned New North End and city politics from the late city councilor and attorney Allen Gear, a Republican revered for his thoughfulness, compassion and wit. A strong advocate for special education, Connolly says the city needs to look at how it funds education. "If we had had any of the previous formulas fully funded by the state, we wouldn't be in trouble right now," she notes. "We love living here; Burlington is a fantastic place to raise a family. We just need an education system that will attract families here." Not surprisingly, running for the mayor's office takes a back seat to family at the moment. Connolly confirms, "The kids are my number one priority."

Though she doesn't quite picture herself as a candidate for the mayor's job, there's something about Jane Knodell that keeps Progressive operatives coming round. Her boosters point out Knodell's unique and vote-pulling blend of ivory-tower intellect — she's an associate professor in the economics department at UVM — and down-to-earth, door-knockin' savvy. She's been elected to the City Council in the Old North End four times and served as its president. She's articulate, caring and knowledgeable about the issues. Tested in academe, she'll debate you with a smile while slicing your arguments to shreds. She can keep her cool in the hot seat. Knodell would bring a woman's perspective to the city's helm, and the best of the Sanders-Clavelle political tradition: visionary, populist policy coupled with grassroots connections to ordinary voters,
renters, elderly and the newer "hip" residents who want to keep Burlington a beacon to lefties and "cultural creatives." Big-money interests might get a cold shoulder if they tried to push their way to the front of the line. "One thing I'm very interested in is regional

Now five years out of college, she is the daughter of Jane Sanders, who climbed the ladder from city youth advocate to Interim President of Goddard College. She's also the stepdaughter of Congressman Bernie Sanders, the guy who got this Progressive thing off the ground back in 1981. Carina was just 7 years old when he took over Burlington City Hall. But, make no mistake about it. Even with her semi-privileged status, Driscoll packs her own punch. She was on the Burlington School Board before she won a seat in the Vermont House in 2000. Despite being relegated to a position on the Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources Committee, she's building a solid reputation in Montpelier. In her work with Burlington youth and women's groups, she has impressed people with her listening skills. She's a doer with her heart in the right place and her feet on the ground. "We need to keep working on transportation alternatives and affordable housing," Driscoll says. "And a city youth advocate could help get young voters more interested and involved in the political process." Driscoll may well be ready to sprint ahead of the pack when the mayoral seat is open. Making history in Vermont, just like her folks. (7)

enevieve Bogdanowicz snoozes blissfully on a recent sunny afternoon, unaware of how she came into the world seven days earlier. Her mom, Joanne Beaubien of Burlington, decided to rely on the services of a doula: Sally MacFadyen eased the way before, during and after the February 13 birth of Beaubien's daughter. "Doulas have existed since the beginning of time," explains MacFadyen, who has two children of her own. "They were considered wise women who had been around a while and seen a few things. My job is to make sure the mother is physically and emotionally supported." Although it sounds exotic, the Greek word doula is the equivalent of "labor assistant" or "labor companion," despite the fact that practitioners tend to be involved with each expectant client for several months. Whether in a hospital or home birth, doctors and midwives are responsible for delivering an infant and handling all medical issues; a doula focuses primarily on tne mothers well-being throughout the entire process. It can be a demanding profession. "You never know what kind of birthing situation you're going to walk into," says MacFadyen, who has worked as a doula for about 75 families over the last few years. "It can go on for three days. That's why I only take on two clients a month. You have to pace yourself." The grassroots notion of doulas is regaining popularity in an era when "taking charge of your own health" has become a mantra. Two national organizations, Doulas of North America and the Association of Labor Assistants and Childbirth Educators, or ALACE, assess on-the-job training in their certification programs. Doulas attend workshops, but largely learn by reading and simply doing. An unknown number of women work as labor assistants in the state, but about 70 of them belong to Doulas of Vermont, says 24-year-old Gwyneth Carsten, arguably the area's youngest practicing doula. "Giving birth is the hardest work a woman will ever do," she suggests. "Doulas help create space and comfort around them, even in the midst of all the chaos." Chaos was just what Joanne Beaubien and her husband, Ken Bodganowicz, wanted to be prepared for. T h e birth of their son, Adam, five years ago, was an exhausting ordeal. "I had a really long labor then, 20 hours, and my husband was wrung out," she recalls. "This time it was so great to have Sally standing by, in case I had to rush to the hospital in the middle of the day while Ken was at work. And it was easier for me to take directions from her; she's trained and more objective. Things are more emotional for husbands." Beaubien was also anxious to avoid another Caesarian section, a necessity with Adam. The couple met with MacFadyen midway through the second pregnancy. They
mind
took some of the birthing classes she offered and called her whenever they had any concerns. A few days before the big event, Beaubien was bothered by leg cramps late at night. She called her doula, who advised taking a hot bath. Things calmed down. "It saved Joanne a trip to the hospital," surmises 36-year-old MacFadyen, a Burlington resident and former elementary school teacher who founded the BirthCare Collective with three other doulas. T h e contractions began in earnest at 10 p.m. on February 12. Beaubien thought she might be in "early labor." MacFadyen once again recommended she get in the tub. "After the bath, at first I was relaxed, but then I knew things were happening," Beaubien recalls. "I woke Ken and he timed them; the contractions were getting closer and closer together. At about 2 a.m., he called our doctor, a friend who could stay with Adam, and Sally." Beaubien and Bogdanowicz raced to the hospital, "trying to avoid the speed bumps," she remembers with a laugh. "I got to the house at 2:30 and they had just left," MacFadyen says, "so I followed them." After her water broke in the Fletcher Allen Health Care parking lot, Beaubien was rushed into the labor and delivery ward. "I was already at seven centimeters," she notes. "Sally was right behind me. She flung off her coat, got out her oil and started massaging my back and reassuring me." Instead of the daylong ordeal she'd encountered with Adam, Beaubien suddenly realized Genevieve's debut was going to be "fast and furious." "It was a whirlwind," adds MacFadyen. But the doctor determined that a vaginal birth would be problematic, due to the baby's position, and recommended another Caesarian. "My role was to help Joanne change gears," MacFadyen says. "Sally helped me stay positive and not be afraid," Beaubien explains. "You never know what your body is going to do. Mine was just going like gangbusters." Genevieve faced the new morning as a beautiful, robust C-section girl. "When birth doesn't turn out as expected, people always tell you to be glad you have a healthy baby," MacFadyen muses. "But you have the right to mourn the loss of your choice." To tackle that period of mourning, seven days later MacFadyen is recounting details of the birth in a postpartum session with her client. The thoughtful doula has brought along sandwiches and bags of chips. "In the days following, you want to tell anybody who'll listen what you've gone through," Beaubien says, sitting at the dining room table while her newborn sleeps nearby. "The whole thing took me by surprise and was very disappointing, so I need to process it." In addition, she's experiencing some trouble with the way Genevieve "latches on" when nursing. "A good latch means
AND BABY MAKES THREE Joanne Beaubien, Genevieve and doula Sally MacFadyen the mother's comfortable and the baby's satisfied," says MacFadyen, who has also worked as a lactation consultant. "Having a doula you're already connected to, who has gone through everything with you, makes it much easier to deal with breast-feeding problems," says Beaubien, who nursed Adam for 14 months but feels she needs to learn new tricks for Genevieve. "Every baby is different." Beaubien's own mother, Joyce, is a Montreal resident who came to spend time with the family in the days after her granddaughter's arrival. "I felt very secure knowing Joanne had a doula," she says. "All in all, birth is a big mystery when it comes right down to it."
S
tudies have demonstrated that fewer complications occur when a woman's "emotional and psycho-social needs are met during childbirth," says Gwyneth Carsten, a newcomer to "doulaism" who has attended four births in the last year. An ALACE brochure cites statistics that show significant decreases in Caesarians, length of labor, use of forceps and pain medication, among other possible consequences, in a controlled trial of more than 1000 women aided by doulas.
"I can explain things a doctor or midwife might say," MacFadyen points out. "Your body works better when there are fewer unknowns. It helps a woman feel empowered. There's nothing worse than a mother regretting, 'I wish I'd done that differently.'" "I really enjoy supporting the family in every way," confirms Carsten, who is en route to certification by ALACE and hopes to open a nonprofit doula center one day. "I give the mother back rubs and juice, help her sit up. There can be long waits for anesthesia, and then it takes time to actually kick in. That can be very trying for a woman in labor. In a hospital setting, nurses change with the shift. A doula provides continuous care, no matter how long it takes." Carsten's first doula birthing came last May, when Stephanie Walp of Essex Junction was awaiting the arrival of Joshua, now 9 months old. "I met them in her 38th or 39th week," says Carsten, a University of Vermont graduate. "The day
after our prenatal meeting, she paged me because she was going through early labor for several days. That weekend, Stephanie had a natural childbirth. She showed such strength and love and courage." Another doula had been on hand for the birth of her first child five years ago, when Walp was a single mother. But as a married woman, she was initially wary about approaching Carsten. "I thought she'd be stepping on my husband's feet," she explains. Quite the opposite, as it turned out. W h e n it seemed she was ready to pop at 1 p.m. on May 12, Walp paged Carsten, who arrived in about five minutes. "My husband, Brian, was at work. She helped me get dressed and even did my dishes. We all left for the hospital together," Walp recalls. "I had a lot of back labor, so she suggested positions to make me more comfortable. My husband is hearing-impaired, so she communicated with him when I was in no shape to. She remained with me throughout the whole thing. I had Joshua at 7:04 p.m., but Gwyneth didn't leave till 9." Carsten didn't forget about the dad. "They're being 'born' as fathers," she says. "I often see partners in a lot of pain. Doulas really support them, too." MacFadyen's presence in the delivery room made all the difference for Ken Bogdanowicz. "It took a lot of pressure off, just to have someone experienced in birth who knows how to work the [hospital] system," he says, adding that the doulas involvement allowed him to take a break in the aftermath of the birth. "It gave me a chance to come home to be with Adam." Although doulas are paid — usually between $250 and $400 — the bond they form with parents goes far beyond money. Carsten visited the Walps when the baby was two days old, then once every week for a month. "Gwyneth still keeps in touch," Walp says. "I'll invite her to the party for Joshuas first birthday." In fact, letting go of a doula can be as difficult as weaning a baby from breast milk. In MacFadyen's view, "its a business that really involves you in the emotional part of someone's life. Each time, you're having a mini love affair with a new family. I get a lot out of it vicariously, but I don't have to wake up with the baby in the middle of the night." ®

e called our mother's mother Big Grandma to distinguish her from our fathers mother, who stood less than five feet tall. But even without Little Grandma standing at her shoulder, Big Grandma was a commanding presence, articulate and opinionated. She
enjoyed Canadian Club and opera, played a cut-throat game of Scrabble, and made a mean mushroom-barley soup. Mathilda Brailove loomed largest, however, in the international arena of her public life — a life we kids only glimpsed when we glanced at the photographs of her sharing kisses and corsages with the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt and Israeli Prime
Ministers David Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir, or when we listened to her stories about her tireless travels and speeches raising money for the United Jewish Appeal. I never saw Big Grandma give a speech, and I've never been to Israel. But as a child, my speechifying grandmother and the Jewish State were virtually synonymous in my mind: equally exemplary,

indomitable, flawless — and distant. In time, as I began to question certain Israeli policies, and as my aging grandmothers personal trials started to upstage her public accomplishments, these shining myths seemed to fade. But seeing past the mythology didn't bring the situation in Israel, or my fervently Zionist grandmother, into much

sharper focus. Since she died last year, three days short of 93, I've been reading through the words she left behind in travel diaries, speeches and newspaper articles. I've been trying to fill in the nuances of her story, to span the gulf between myself and the cause that consumed so much of her life. Big Grandma's early life is a wellknown family story. Born Mathilda Feder in Philadelphia in 1907, just a few years after my great-grandparents emigrated from Vitebsk, Russia, she was one of 12 children, and the only Feder daughter to attend college. After one semester, she married Alexander Brailove, a dapper dentist, irrepressible wit and ace tennis player. Al set up practice in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Mathilda gave birth to my mother and her two younger sisters. Through most of the 1930s, as other Americans struggled through hard times and Hitler rose to power overseas, the family lived comfortably swaddled with nursemaids, dancing lessons and fur coats. But the plot shifted in 1939, the year Hitler invaded Poland. My grandmother, who could have simply continued to enjoy her bridge parties and tennis, started devoting her time and dollars to local causes like the USO, the Urban League and Community Chest. What motivated her to become involved? At root, it was an act of selfdefense. In a 1964 speech, she recounted her growing sense of unease in a world
M
that seemed to have "neither room nor affection for the Jewish people," At a time when most American Jews were still largely insulated from their non-Jewish neighbors, my thoroughly assimilated grandmother saw herself as a bridge to the broader community. "I was determined to persuade my Christian friends and neighbors that the Jewish people were a solid
y grandmother's — and Israel's — transforming experience came in early 1948, two and a half years after the war ended in Europe. The British had been ruling Palestine, under mandate from the League of Nations, since 1922. But the continuing struggles between Jews hoping to establish their own state and Arabs opposing their efforts had led to a
immigrate to Palestine. My grandmother, who had been raising money to help smuggle Jews and military supplies into Palestine, joined a delegation sent to investigate conditions there, and among the refugees still in Europe. Forty-one years old, with two daughters in College and a third at home with her husband, she cut a smart figure in her jaunty hat and stylish

At the end of the war, when she learned what had happened to Europe's Jews, she took her concerns to the board of the Council of Social Agencies, on which she was the only Jewish member. But her colleagues struck her as "untouched, unmoved," and my grandmother felt abandoned. Convinced that Jews could only depend on other Jews, she resigned from the board and started working exclusively for the United Jewish Appeal.
United Nations blueprint partitioning the land into separate Arab and Jewish entities. The plan, which was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the Arabs, was scheduled to take effect in May. But it would never reach fruition. A coalition of Arab states would attack the Jews. The coming conflict would result in the formation of a State of Israel whose borders exceeded the United Nations agreement, with the remaining Arab lands annexed by Jordan and Egypt and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs left stranded in refugee camps.

Her diary of the trip fluctuates, with an almost surreal seamlessness, between heady encounters, heart-wrenching revelations and gratifying solicitousness. At the send-off in New York, surrounded by reporters and newsreel cameras, Mayor William O'Dwyer presented the delegation with a gift to bring to BenGurion, then chairman of the Jewish Agency, the provisional government of Palestine's Jews.

children who had spent the war hidden in closets and convents, or had been rescued in sacks from the burning Warsaw ghetto. The night before they left France, one of their local hosts sent violets to Mathildas hotel room. The most difficult stop was in Germany. At the Fohrenwald Displaced Persons (DP) C a m p outside Munich, my grandmother was stunned to be "actually talking to people" who had seen their infants "thrown against the wall in order to save a bullet." She shared one family's supper — "a plate of pea soup with a potato in it, a bowl of oatmeal and a beverage I still can't identify" — and left the camp the next morning taking to heart the camp directors' message: "Get the DPs out as fast as possible." At a pioneer training facility in Italy, Big Grandma visited refugees who were learning to make fishing nets — a skill they would need in Palestine. Then, in another quick shift, it was on to the opera, and in the morning, an audience with the Pope. At a reception with the Chief Rabbi of Rome, the delegation admired Torah scrolls that had survived an earlier attempt at Jewish eradication: the Spanish Inquisition. If my grandmother was struck by the whiplash contrasts of her itinerary, she didn't record these thoughts. In Europe, the delegation witnessed one conflicts aftermath. In Palestine, they experienced the inception of another. "We're facing a full-scale war here," Ben-Gurion told the group their first night in Tel Aviv. Everywhere they went — from the mined airport in Araboccupied Lydda to Jerusalem's bullet-riddled Hebrew University — the American visitors were guarded by commandos armed with Sten submachine guns. It wasn't just a precaution. Singing around a piano late one night at a seaside hotel in Tiberias, the delegation heard gunshots and grenade explosions outside. In the morning, they saw the bullet that had shattered a window and broken a picture in one of the guest rooms. If the sniper had waited half an hour, my grandmother noted, "he could have bagged an American." The question of British allegiance was a source of great concern. Amid reports that Jews were being disarmed while Arab attackers were ignored, the Jewish military Haganah warned that weapons should not be surrendered to the British at any cost. Riding from Tiberias to Haifa with a group of Haganah commandos, my grandmother wrapped her coat around a machine gun and slipped grenades into her purse. W h e n snipers ambushed them, Mathilda's bus escaped with a bullet bulge in the wall near the driver's head. But the attackers blew out a tire on the other bus, and the commandos on board returned fire. British troops arrived, demanding to search the passengers for arms. T h e
Americans held them ofF for more than two hours, and the hidden weapons remained in Jewish hands. "We had a gay dinner with toasts and speeches for only our delegation and security staff," my grandmother reported. "It was a narrow escape." It's easy to understand the upsweep of hope she must have felt, traveling from Dachau — where the ashes of Jews were processed for fertilizer — to the freshly cultivated fields of the
| Palestine. T h e Jewish settlers "are easy to love, their standards are high and there was every indication that I was accepted."

Here's looking at you... Check out Seven Days' Model Citizens April 3rd, 2002
Mathilda Brailove with Eleanor Roosevelt, 1 9 5 5 Sharon Valley and bustling Tel Aviv, where all the shop signs were in Hebrew. "We are absolutely unaware that we are so far from home," my grandmother wrote. Reading her diaries in 2002, one cannot hear about a place like Jaffa — which in 1948 was a city of 130,000 Arabs and by 1950 had become home to just 6000 Arabs among 70,000 Jews — without recognizing that one people's miracle was another's disaster. But 54 years ago, coming from the crematoria of Europe, with Jews' own survival so terrifyingly at stake, my grandmother saw only the survivors' desperate need for a safe home and the Zionists' determination to provide one. O n a more intimate level, she was also falling in love with the pioneers themselves, admiring their fearlessness, their "vitality and sparkle" — and their looks. At Hebrew University, she noticed the "pretty 18-year-old girl" who guarded the tour, a submachine gun tucked under one arm as she browsed in the library stacks. At a military training ground, a solider named Yankele presented Mathilda with flowers he'd plucked from between the rocks. A major took her dancing at a Tel Aviv nightspot that reminded her of war-time New York — "jammed, gay, dancing, drinking." My grandmother devoted two entire pages to a certain World War II paratrooper and spy. "Reuven is a man about whom prose, poetry and songs could be written," she gushed. By the end of her stay, Mathildas devotion to and identification with Palestine's Jews had clearly forged her sense of herself as a woman with a mission and the capacity to carry it out. "I have made many good, loyal friends and I am pleased," she wrote her last night in
Jewish representative to Christians, she now served as a conduit between Jews, linking refugees to non-refugees, Israelis to American Jews, and officials to would-be donors. My grandfather accompanied her to Israel just once before his early death in I960. He scripted some of her first speeches. But the rest of the time she was on her own, moving audiences with her charming demeanor, her flawless Philadelphia diction, her vivid word pictures and inspiring idealism. O n e newspaper account called her "spellbinding." My grandmothers job was to persuade other women to make donations in their own names in addition to whatever pledges their husbands made. She succeeded by evoking in her audiences the same sense of responsibility and self-respect she'd discovered in 1948. Giving is a sign of maturity, she maintained. Exercising one's capacity to help others is part of becoming a fully developed human being. But a fully developed female was distinctly different from a fully developed male, my grandmother believed. She flourished in her role as a public figure, but when she came home she left whatever feminism she harbored packed away with her fancy clothes. Though she lauded Eleanor Roosevelt for taking women out of the kitchen, Big Grandma scolded my mother for expecting my father to take care of us children after work. A proper wife, she believed, should keep the kids quiet and let hubby relax. Relatively few married women were wage-earners in those days, which meant the socalled "plus dollars" Mathilda raised often came from wives persuading husbands to free up extra cash, or stretching grocery

allowances to set money aside -for the cause. M y grandmother wasn't interested in changing the system, but in convincing women to exercise their power within it. "Women realize that theirs is a position separate and apart from the men, but equal to them, in this emancipated period," she told an audience in
1952. In another speech 35 years later, she talked about how Jewish women had a history of establishing cultural and benevolent institutions, only to see them taken over by men who relegated the female founders to more traditional pursuits, such as visiting the sick. "It happened all the time," my grandmother commented. "But the important thing is that we're the innovators and the inspiration. T h a t is our role." Big Grandma continued to speak in public through her seventies, and even into her eighties. In time, the women who came to hear her were more independent. But Mathilda

never relinquished her own ladylike persona. For her particular audiences, this old-fashioned elegance probably just made her all the more appealing and persuasive. It was as if she were telling her female listeners, "We can walk onto the world stage and still expect men to hold the door for us." In fact, even if you weren't a man — even if you were, say, a granddaughter — holding the door was a sure way to gain Big Grandma's approval. She was never a climb-into-my-lap sort. Better to sit up straight and think of some achievement to report or, better yet, some deferential question to ask. It was probably no coinci- . dence that while my grandmother was devoting herself to Israel, my mother — who had been raised with nannies and summerlong sleep-away camp — devoted herself to us kids with such a vengeance. It was probably also not just chance that, for all her family vacations and her strong identification as a Jew, my mother never got around to visiting Israel. Big Grandma was basically an impossible-to-follow act. It's not clear, however, that my grandmother expected, or even wanted, to be emulated. Above all, what she did want was to be respected, as a w o m a n and as a Jew. And that is what she got.®

ael One-Cloud doesn't want you to know how old she is — "Eek! Can't I just be twentysomething?" — and she pleads the Fifth when the conversation shifts to money. But she rants and raves about nearly everything else in her long-running Burlington-based zine, Alphabitch Afterbirth. Zines — derivative of "magazines" — are published by writers and artists more interested in disseminating a message than making money. Unlike the processed product of mass-media corporations, zines offer uncensored snapshots of their creator's reality. Some, like Bust and Hip Mama, have become professional endeavors almost indistinguishable from magazines. Not so Alphabitch. After six years and 18 issues — a long lifespan in the world of zines and even magazines — Alphabitch remains raw, urgent and imperfect, true to the DIY zine ethos. One-Cloud is doggedly determined to present the universe as she sees it, typos and all, whether she's writing about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child, publishing a how-to guide on writing porno novels or praising her favorite indie record label. And like any good zinester, One-Cloud is unafraid of controversy. Even devoted readers will Find something offensive — not surprising for a publication that guest editor "Sea Creature" describes in Issue #7 as "late 20th Century underground lowrent bulldada ... it shall soar and arise up under the skirts of time and Finger the pud of literature." Even I was shocked — shocked — to find an image of Christ crucified on a cross of erect penises. But this sort of provocative gesture is exactly what makes Alphabitch worth read-
GT
ing. There's simply nothing else like it in Vermont. Besides its controversial nature, Alphabitch's most unique feature is the deranged, twisted, overlapping collage art featured in every issue. These crazy compilations are the result of what must be endless cut-and-paste sessions with a cast of
mysterious characters, such as "Sea Creature," "Ozzy" and "~*Kether." OneCloud, the mastermind behind the whole enterprise, calls herself "the editrix." Trying to understand everything about Alphabitch — its wild art, its psychedelic poetry, the shifting allegiances and pseudonyms of its writers — is like flipping through 500 channels and trying to watch them all at once. It's best to take it slow. And to remember that sometimes, as one particularly well-placed bit of clip-art warns in issue #8, "the icky factor is very high in this." A Burlingtonian who came from Brooklyn and likes to travel, One-Cloud speaks about her outlandish and overstimulating little mag from a friend's house in Athens, Georgia, where she is spending most of the winter. W h e n she's away from

her North End apartment, she's "either crashing around like a Rainbow hippie or staying at hostels," says the zinester, whose Cherokee heritage inspired her to relinquish her birth name in favor of her current moniker. Her zine travels quite a bit as well. Its available at Wuxtry, what One-Cloud calls "a reco rd-co m ic-book-sci-fi-wei rd-stuff store" in Athens, and makes its way to New York, Olympia, Washington, Amsterdam, Australia and to a zine library in Hawaii. In Vermont, readers can procure copies at the Rhombus Gallery or peruse them at Radio Bean and at T h e Space, above Battery Street Jeans. One-Cloud also has a mailing list, but most of the copies go to people who see her zine somewhere and send her an envelope and a few dollars for production and postage. She keeps the overhead and technology low; she doesn't have a long-arm stapler, so she sews together the 20-page issues by hand. One-Cloud says she got into the zine scene after meeting David Kime, who produced the zine Transcendent Visions. Good old-fashioned feminism had something to do with it, too. "I was hanging out in Olympia before the whole grunge thing, and the Riot Grrl scene at that time was inspirational," explains One-Cloud. "I wanted to get older feminists writing out to younger kids." Alphabitch got its name, she says, from an encounter with a whelping dog that bit her leg. One-Cloud was forced to come to terms with the word "bitch," and decided to reclaim it. She outlines the process in the "Alphabitch Manifesto," concluding that, "Womyn used to eat their placentas, to get back the protien [sic] they lost in giving birth. We gave birth to the UberPater, and he turned on us... But his time is over. Eat the afterbirth, take back the power you need." The "Manifesto" appears every few issues or so, starting with Issue #2, but Alphabitch has changed over the years. For one thing, there are fewer feminist quotes. After a while anyone would become desensitized to the dorm-room poster passage that proclaims, "Because woman's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious... we are part of the women's liberation movement." Another change is that the layout has become somewhat less overwhelming; Issues #15-18 actually contain white space. It was a scarce commodity before. But the biggest transformation has been One-Cloud's own personal growth and its impact on the zine. She used to write more about relationships she was having at the time, which in hindsight she finds "embarrassing." T h e turning point
into
oVi}our new
f ® m
<£ook)
came when the editrix took a two-year hiatus. In the introduction to her first issue back, #10, she writes, In the past, when I did this zine, I tried to keep it fairly openended, favouring the 3am rants over lucid gripes about my current situations, the womyn's issues &punq rack sociopolitics broad instead of localised. I guess tho, in spite of it making this zine "dated" I wanna talk about ME for once? Is that egotistical? Yeh, maybe. But the fact I finally GOT an ego, after years of either being a doormat or exploding into a psycho-postal megabitch, is something I got a RIGHT to take some pride in. I GO babee. Since then, One-Cloud has become more of a gadfly, taking locals to task, especially local artists. "There's too much of a very clique-y arts scene in Burlington," she complains. One-Cloud has also used Alphabitch to chastise the city government for embracing Filene's, and has run items by fellow gadfly Ken Lawless criticizing the conduct of the Burlington Police. But despite her anarchist sentiments, One-Cloud is not above self-censorship. She recalled the first printing of Alphabitch # 1 7 after the September 11th attacks; that issue contained a passage advocating the explosive destruction of Burlington's new Starbucks. She replaced the cut text with her own rants about the war in Afghanistan. WTiich is not to say that in her moment of discretion she was cowed or obedient — her rants included the suggestion that George Bush Senior might have been involved in planning the terrorist attacks with his old CIA buddies. T h e terrorist attacks, the war and the fear of a government crack-down on the freedom of expression has made OneCloud even more passionate about zines. "I just think the zine thing has to flourish," she insists. "Sometimes it's the only way to get heard. I think zines are the only way people are going to be able to express themselves beyond the cliques, beyond the laws." And yet the changing world situation seems to have mellowed One-Cloud just a bit. In the introduction to Alphabitch #18, she confesses, "I guess I'm glad tho, in spite of the sloppy stupidity of my youth, that I have survived to see this birthday I am dreading... the other alternative would be death, after all, & in spite of my need to bitch about all that's bad in our society, I'm still enjoying it all." One-Cloud says she'll continue to deliver — look for Issue #19 someday soon. ® To find out more about Alphabitch Afterbirth, email Rael at urulan@ yahoo.com or visit her Web site, www.geocities.com/urulan.

the dialogue doesn't pit us against each other, and that we can get to a place where there's enough respect that everybody's allowed to speak." That policy may not extend to Senator Patrick Leahy, who frequently endures verbal bashings on the show. Asked if the Democrat would ever be welcome as a guest, 48-year-old Morrow responds, "We'd have to think about it." "I'd be flattered if Leahy heard he was attacked here," Nadeau acknowledges. "But I'd have to ask myself what we could achieve having him on the show, how it would further our mission."
T
he five founding mothers of "True North" got together almost a year ago to brainstorm about creating higher visibility for their shared outlook. "We're a bunch of nonconformists, a diverse group of women who on key points agree," suggests Lenore Broughton, a Burlington philanthropist who contributes to conservative causes. "We're a mixed bag of tricks — writers, graphic designers, full-time mothers, grandmothers, and there are a couple of former teachers in the group, too." It's also a group of outspoken individuals who are well-known in political circles: Kirby-based Anne McClaughry and her husband John run the Ethan Allen Institute, a "True North" advertising sponsor; Mary Schroyer of Waterbury Center started the anti-civil union group Take It to the People; Martha Hanson of St. Johnsbury is active in the state's Republican Party; and Libby Sternberg of Rutland heads the school-choice organization Vermonters for Better Education and
is a frequent conservative commentator on Vermont Public Radio. Broughton says that the women all feel strongly about "keeping the 'old-fashioned' family in the center of things, bringing back the notion of personal responsibility." Think Dr. Laura, who fell from favor for denigrating homosexuals on her popular call-in show. "Not all women walk lockstep with the National Organization of Women," Broughton adds. These right-leaning activists mailed a promotional letter to potential listeners in early January contending the radio show's constituency would be n o n - N O W women who "have no one speaking for them. They have no forum in which to express their views." "True North" is "letting in some fresh air," according to Broughton. "Fresh Air" and "Prairie H o m e Companion" happen to be among Nadeau's favorite National Public Radio programs. T h e latter show is broadcast from Minnesota, the state she lived in for 16 years. In Vermont since 1996, the Williston resident and her husband Philip have four children, ages 15 to 24. Born in Brazil — where her father worked for Pan American Airways — Nadeau was raised in Connecticut. She studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, surviving the 1968 student-worker uprisings, then found a job in the travel department of a London bank. Stints in San Francisco, New York, New Haven, Boston and Montreal also appear on her resume. In 1972, the same year Morrow voted for Richard Nixon, Nadeau cast her ballot for George McGovern. She switched parties long before her cousin became President of the United States, and last

year attended his inauguration. Nadeau calls her high-ranking relative "a good friend." Recommended by a pal who could not accept the position herself, Nadeau was floored when approached to co-host "True North" last year. "I like to talk and had thought quite deeply about a lot of issues," she recalls, "but it was so com-, pletely out of the blue. I prayed about it." Broughton and company hired her without knowing about the White House connection and "before they had even heard my voice," Nadeau says. "I wanted to do a good job and not let them down, but I was terrified." Her radio partner had no such trepidation. When Anne McClaughry tapped Morrow for the job at a Washington, D C . , meeting of the Heritage Foundation, it seemed like karmic justice tb her. "What have I done but yap about public policy issues for the last 30 years?" Morrow asks rhetorically. A 1974 summa cum laude graduate of the University of Vermont, the Yonkers native pursued advanced degrees elsewhere and landed a position at Louisiana State University in Shreveport for two decades. Morrow has penned prize-winning essays for national magazines such as Crisis, Insight and Chronicles. Although Morrows husband hails from Vermont, the couple moved back last year only after discovering that the state offered the*best possible schooling opportunities for their autistic 5-year-old son. Unable to find a college-level teaching position — Morrow says left-liberal institutions discriminate against conservatives — she started a grant-writing business and became president of the Vermont Association of Scholars. For her, the radio gig is a blast.
T
he lone male on the "True North" bandwagon is the show's producer. Samuel Stern of Manchester was brought on board last summer to coach the two novices. Initially, they convened four times a week in a studio space rented from VPR, conducting mock shows and listening to themselves on tape afterwards. Morrow had to adapt to the immediacy of radio after so many years in academia. "I'm so used to being a lecturer, so at first I kept falling into that pattern," she says. "I'm accustomed to students in front of me. Here I have to encourage invisible people." She's also learned that radio commentaries and interviews are different than those she's done for print media. "Three or four main points have to be made, bang, bang, bang! And I began by doing 10 times the amount of research necessary. Sam suggested I just look at the table of contents. N o one is going to care about the minutiae of Reagan's Cold War policy as it applies to Afghanistan." While Morrow figured out how to
offer the audience more instant gratification, Nadeau was working on a similar challenge. "I felt I was inarticulate," she remembers. "Sam kept pointing out that I tend to go the long way around to get information. The best thing he told me is, 'Focus.'" Nadeau has also fretted about her natural tendency to be polite, not exactly a plus in talk radio. "I was brought up not to ever offend anyone. That's the hardest thing for me," she says. T h e co-hosting chemistry seems successful. Over a six-month period, "Laurie and I really had time to get to know
"True North" — and maybe even lead to eventual syndication.
O
n the air, Morrow is keen to get a discussion going about a Kentucky judge who has begun fining female victims of domestic abuse for returning to their partners after getting restraining orders against them. "You might think the feminists would say this is the right thing to do," she says, adding that those nutty liberals have instead deemed the fines unfair because the abused women "are in love with their husbands or boyfriends."
— dry mouth can plague any professional talker. Morrow believes "political correctness," another phrase that sticks in her craw, is only practiced by the left. "For us, there isn't always a litmus test," Morrow says, suggesting the right wing tolerates opposing ideas. But what about the conservatives who recently chastised Colin Powell for recommending on M T V that sexually active teens use condoms to avoid unwanted pregnancies and diseases? Morrow evades the question: "I am vitally interested in any and all opinions Colin Powell might
"Not all women walk lockstep with the National Organization of Women." — Lenore Broughton each other," Nadeau says. "We don't always agree, but we stimulate each other. We come at things from different angles, but we have the same basic philosophy." Morrow once listened to other talk shows merely for the content. "Now, I've begun paying attention for the artistry," she says. "Even shows I don't agree with." The C E O of a Manchester marketing and special-events company called Acrobatix Worldwide, Sam Stern drives to W K D R a few times a week to produce "True North." "They have made incredible strides," he observes, sounding like a proud parent. "They offer a different voice, especially in a liberal town like Burlington. This is an effort to bring balance. Radio's supposed to be a fun medium, and they make it fun." The "girls," as "Tessie in St. Albans" dubs them during in a recent call, are quick on the uptake. When "Stella from UVM" phones and is warned the show will end in one minute, she uses her 60 seconds to gush about what a wonderful job they're doing. "Oh, take your time, honey," Morrow tells her. Stern hopes the combination of humor and a hardball approach can translate into an additional hour on the station for
Despite this charged introduction, callers never really pick up on the subject. "Ira in Burlington" and "Tom in Hinesburg" continue a hot debate begun on a previous show about whether the day after Thanksgiving should be an excuse not to go to work. "That's really interesting," Morrow says diplomatically. "It's not something I've really thought much about, so I can't say how I feel." After the broadcast, Nadeau is amused: "Thanksgiving — who'd a-thunk it?" "That's the joy of the Friday show," Morrow says, referring to the open-ended format at the end of the week. Thursdays are generally reserved for guests, with exceptions made for special occasions: O n the Friday that is George Washington's actual birthday, the dynamic duo is on the line with Matthew Spaulding, an expert on the father of our country. He advocates that the Revolutionary War hero deserves a holiday of his own, rather than being lumped together with other, possibly less terrific leaders on Presidents Day. The many issues discussed on "True North" tend to relate in some way to a basic principle. "We are opposed to moral relativism, in which there's no fixed right or wrong," says Morrow, popping a mint from a large tin of Altoids Nadeau carries
have about bombing Iraq," she says tersely. "I have no interest whatsoever in his ideas regarding the use of prophylactics." A less weighty contradiction emerges when Nadeau is asked about the significance of the "True North" theme song. She says the lyric about being "washed and polished and full of high octane" has often helped her find renewed energy to wash the family dishes. Morrow likes the tune's "cheeriness and bounciness." But another line in "Cadillac Red" would seem to have an almost — gasp — f e m i n i s t sensibility: "Catch her if you can/She can outrun any man..." Although actual feminism may be anathema to "True North" — that January promo letter indicated "men will be relieved to know there are some women who don't hate them!" — the twosome demonstrates a curious range of attitudes. They can be ladylike. Nadeau mentions that argumentative T V talk shows such as C N N ' s "Crossfire" are not her cup of tea. "I hate the way they interrupt each other and yell," she says. And they can be decidedly in-yourface. During a commercial break, Morrow confides what could serve as their "right" radio manifesto: "We're out. We're conservatives. Deal with it!" ®

Weekly Mail continued from page 4a THE TALIBAN IS US The self-righteous denial resonating from the Vermont right wing tweaks my sardonic nature. Peter Straube [Weekly Mail, February 13] misunderstands the difference between the Taliban and Al Qaeda by claiming the Taliban rather than Al Qaeda caused the devastation at the World Trade Center. Mr. Straube correctly states that "our local Taliban" has never undertaken the media-highlighted atrocities committed by Al Qaeda operatives on that fatal September day. However, unlike the M-16, Wild West environment that reigns in Afghanistan, the United States functions on the rule of law. The "local Taliban" comprehend this distinction and attempts to impose its rule on the flock through the force of the quill instead of the sword. Ronald Reagan, the fundamentalist right's godhead before being supplanted by Bush II, hailed Al Qaeda's figurehead, Osama bin Laden, as a freedom fighter akin to George Washington, who, according to Tony Blair's King George III, was a terrorist traitor. (As an aside, it is eerie that the town square in the English borough of St. Albans displays a statue honoring Benedict Arnold for his role as a national hero.) While the USA manufactures terrafirmas largest proportion of weapons of mass destruction, does Mr. Straube consider the former School of the Americas to have been a touchy-feely institution that taught peace-love-dove to ... wholesomely democratic, Latin American despots? Does he praise the homeland's "Al Qaeda" in the guise of Kenny Boy and cohorts, Halliburton, the Carlyle Group and document-hiding, conspiring brethren as they export and import a fascist form of free-market freedom? Yes, Mr. Straube, we are the Taliban, and until this fact is acknowledged, the world lives in fear. — Stephen A. Jarvis Swanton
KEEP THE PETERS PENNING Thanks for publishing Peter Freyne and Peter Kurth, two writers who are not afraid to tell the truth. Although Peter Freyne's propensity for nicknames can be annoying, his labeling of Vermont's "Taliban" is right on the mark. While not engaging in actual physical acts of terrorism ... their bigotry and rejection of the idea of human rights certainly make Representatives Sheltra, Florie and their homophobic allies worthy of the name. Regarding Peter Kurth, well, let's face it, it's increasingly looking like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and their cronies on the Supreme Court are trying to establish a neo-fascist corporate dictatorship. Their puppet-boy, our president-select, did gain the White House in a crooked elec-

tion that he actually lost. And most terrifying of all, evidence mounts that the horrific events of September 11 th play directly into the administrations pre-planned agenda favoring globalism and global domination without regard for human rights-— thus the "war on terrorism" is a war for corporate profits. The fact that most Americans support this administration and its war means nothing — hell, most Germans loved Hitler until he started blowing the war for them. So congratulations and thanks, Seven Days — please keep Peter Freyne and Peter Kurth writing. — Brian Walsh Colchester BOYS & GIRLS RETURN TO ARMORY Following months of discussions, since the September 11 tragedy, between officials of the Vermont National Guard and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes there.seems to be a resolution to the use of the local Armory by the B&GC. Based upon conversations as recent as February 22, the officials of both organizations are developing a plan that would permit the local youth group's return to the Armory by the end of March. Details of the return are being finalized and the preliminary conditions of occupancy are acceptable to both parties. The Vergennes Armory will house the B&GC's teen center, for ages 13 to 18, with the Bixby Library's basement continuing as the site for Club members ages 6 to 12. B&GC officials are continuing with a study of potential sites for a future or permanent primary location for all ages in the youth organization. This recent development with the Armory will accommodate current needs while that study moves forward. The progress in reaching this phase of the B&GC's need for a suitable location for teen members required much patience, perseverance and consideration of many factors. The youth organization is appreciative of the efforts and support that was evident from many, especially General Martha Rainville, General Bill Noyes, Major Marc Goudreau, Sergeant Larry Smith and Senator Gerry Gossens. The officials and teenage members of the local B&GC extend their gratitude to all who played a role in this accomplishment. — Sam Alio Executive Director, Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes S E V E N DAYS wants your rants and

"She said she was relenting," said Rep. Bill Aswad. She's willing, he said, "to let the kids back in to use the drill floor, but not the office space." "My hope is we're moving beyond the security issue," said Rep. Mark Larson. "The bottom line," said Rep. John Tracy, is keeping the kids out was "probably not the best decision to make." Gen. Rainville told Seven Days she will meet with all the interested parries on March 6. She said "the focus needs to be on the kids." Getting them back in the stateowned building "could happen realistically within a couple weeks." Rainville noted the military remains at Threatcom Bravo. That means a guard member will have to be on duty when the children are present, she saids Damn little terrorists, eh? But regardless of security, the general made it clear the guard intends to permanently take over the office and classroom space at the Burlington facility. That will pose a problem. .: Kathy Olwell, director of the NNEYC program, told Seven Days the loss of the office and classroom space will deprive the kids of access to the computers as well as "a place to sit down." "We can't run the program that way," said Olwell. "As far as I'm concerned," she cautioned, "this is not letting the program continue." Our sources say this battle is far from over. Osama's aftershocks continue. Not a Pollina Poll? — Vermont's fledgling left-wing third party stumbled a wee bit last week trying to spin poll numbers just like the big boys. The Progressive Party hired Action Research, a Burlington marketing outfit, to conduct a statewide poll earlier this month testing the strength of the Progs' two best-known horses: Anthony Pollina and Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. The Progs spun the results to show that either Tony the Prog (29 percent) or Mayor Moonie (27 percent) could beat Democrat Pistol Pete Shumlin (25 percent) in the upcoming race for lieutenant governor. Of course, the margin of error was plus/minus 5 percent. The Prog Poll also showed Pollina getting 19 percent of the vote in another run for governor — double what he got in 2000. That's when he used the campaign financing law, which he helped write, to tap $265,000 in public financing. Free money. As word of the Prog poll buzzed through the Statehouse a couple weeks back, the Progressives were unusually mum. Then, last week,
when they were sending out press releases bragging about it, "New Poll Shows Progressive Party Increasing Influence," the press showed little interest. Finally, after a couple days, the Associated Press paid attention. AP Statehouse writer ROSS Sneyd noticed a potential problem. Under the rules, a candidate cannot spend more than $500 before February 15 and qualify for a spot at the public financing trough. Tony the Prog played dumb. He even said he had been against doing a poll when the matter wasfirstdiscussed by Prog Party insiders, and had no idea what the questions were. Mr. Pollina explained the purpose of the Prog poll was "party-building," and not designed to benefit his next bid for statewide office. The poll was conducted, he said, to measure "how the party's message was resonating." Unfortunately, the questions asked of 456 registered voters between January 31 and February 8 were not about "message" at all. The questions were all about how Anthony and da' mayor of Burlap would fare in several different election scenarios this year. Stuff like: "Would you say your support for Anthony Pollina is very strong, somewhat strong, neither strong or weak, somewhat weak, or very weak." One thing is clear: Support for Mr. Pollina's spin is very weak — even over at the Vatican of campaign finance reform, the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG). VPIRG Executive Director Paul Burns told Seven Days he "doesn't know about the legal question," but he does know it would have been "wise to avoid doing a poll" right before the February 15 time line. The Progressive Party, he added, could also have avoided problems "by not sharing the poll results with any potential candidates." They could have sat on it. Instead, they issued press releases in an attempt to tell the whole world about it. Mr. Burns said he "can't profess to call the poll a violation," but questions about whether it is or not "could have been avoided." Timing, they say, is everything. The Prog poll hits the street just as Mr. Pollina is rethinking his plans for the fall election in the wake of King Con Hogan's Independent entry. The numbers indicate Pollina's best shot at Victor}' Lane is in the Lite-Gov race. Surely that's valuaMe information for Candidate Pollina to digest. And it's worth a hell of a lot more than $500. Richard McCoy, the president of Action Research, told Seven Days, "It's our job to collect accurate and objective data. It's the client's responsibility to use it in accordance with ethics and the law." Last Word — The cranky crows have all gone quiet. City Market has finally opened. What a gem of a grocery store. Best of both worlds. I love the Paul Newman chocolate chip cookies. Thank you, Onion River Coop. ® E-mail Peter at Inside Track VT@aol. com

WHAT A GUY Buddy Guy and bis polka-dotted Strat have been walling the blues for 40 years. At an age when most guys retire, he's just made his most poignant and emotionally intense record in decades. Guy goes back to the Mississippi Delta on Sweet Tea.
"Well I done got old/can't do the things I used to do," he mutters on the album's
opener, but his voice and playing suggest he still can. The legendary guitarist comes to the Flynn Center this Tuesday.

S-E YEN DAYS
has continued to crank out goodtime r&b with a number of other experienced musicians. Message to You is a friendly blend of rock, blues, soul and country that is pretty good even at its low points. The title track starts the disc with a certain Freedy Johnston feel, mellow and pure. That's followed by "Kissin' and Huggin' (That's My Job)," which is more of a standard blues tune. Semler's voice shows a more gritty, impassioned character here, and it works well., "Crazy Joel" introduces mandolin and fiddle elements, and flows like something you might hear from Dylan or The Waterboys. The mandolin and fiddle also appear in "Green Mountain Lullaby," which in its soothing, folksy demeanor seems perfectly named. The real pub pleaser here would be "Personality Pills." It bounces along with lyrics that catch your interest: "I take my meds and mellow out with you/watch Mr. Rogers, Captain Kangaroo/So nice to feel like everybody else/Keepin' my distance from myself." That's kind of funny, sad and deep all at the same time. If you were to play "which one of these songs does not belong," the easy winner would be "You Keep Sending Me." While most of the other tracks would feel at home on W I Z N or W N C S , this one would be a big hit with the folks at Star 92. It's made for Rod Stewart — the cheesy 2002 version — with its vapid lyrics, echoing female background singer and airy keyboard parts. As a sample of the easy listening genre, it's well done.
But any fan of the rest of these songs would likely find it unbearable. The number of contributing musicians here could field a football team, and they keep the music tight and clean. From the ragtimestyle piano of Brian Bull on "Lean Mean Lovemaking Machine" to the slow, cool bass of Aaron Hersey on "Johnny-8-Ball," this is a cast that rounds out the sound nicely. There are times when Semler's voice seems too hidden in the mix, but Gus Zeising at Low Tech generally does a nice job with the production values. After many years making music, clearly there's plenty left in the tank for Derrick Semler. Good for him — and us. He appears with mandolinist Daniel Haley next Wednesday at the Good Times Cafe in Hinesburg. — Kirt Zimmer BISHOP, CENTIPEDE (self-released, CD) — Hailing from upstate New York, Bishop is a straight-ahead, cock-rockin' four-piece that play heavy, riff-filled rock drawing heavily on grunge and metal. Think Alice In Chains-meetsHum. It's almost refreshing to hear the churn of a twin-guitar attack without the scratching or rapping so common on radio these days. Hey, an actual rock band! How novel. The band is tight, and their new album, Centipede, is a wellproduced affair. Props to Bishop for handling the production themselves. The sound is thick and smooth — the norm for metal these days — walls* of chugging sound punctuated by soaring guitar solos reminiscent of Vernon Reid's. The vocals provided by Tommy (no last name provided), who also plays lead guitar, are strong, belted out in a midrange that alternates between a gutwrenching scream and an emotive, hand-wringingbut-still-tough croon. Many of these songs sound like anthems, and Bishop delivers all 13 with heart and conviction. It's powerful stuff, but when you
read the lyric sheet you discover the ugent-sounding songs don't have much to say. In addition to a whole slew of obligatory Ian Astbury-esque "Yeah," "C'mon" and "Yeah, yeah, yeeaah!" phrases, a lot of lines seem to refer to things near and dear to the singer's heart, but are too vague to really tell a story. In "Get Me Down," the singer tells us, "got no crazy way to show you that I care about the universe," and later, "They say that change can bring you hope/again I'm not so sure/so I'll be the master mind behind what I say." In "Space Rocker," we hear the claim, "Can't you tell I am the best/superstar who past (sic) the test/I hope you don't mind that we are green." It's frustrating, because these songs are catchy and well-structured, if a bit formulaic. My favorite song is "83," and others are pretty good, but after a while they all seem to blend together. Centipede rocks, sounding just like what mainsteam, disaffected tough kids love to torture their parents with, so, the band could be successful once it figures out its message. If you're into heavy rock and not concerned about what songs actually say, then by all means, rock on. You can be sure Bishop will. — Colin Clary SPOOKIE DALY PRIDE, MARSHMALLOW PIE (Karass, CD) — As hip-pop collaborations clutter the Billboard charts, great mutterings about the health of rock 'n' roll once again arise. Seems everybody is content to pen a catchy jingle, throw in a bit of 4/4 bass pumping, blather a few nonsense lyrics and — wham! — have another hit record. But through all this sample-hounding and lowest-common-denominator production, a spirited few remain who actually put some effort and musicianship into their concoctions. Like Boston's Spookie Daly Pride.
Elvis Costello-influenced singersongwriter, Spookie ventured into a local studio to lay down some tracks. Inviting his friends to stop by and join in the process, he apparently realized that some popbased boogie arrangements and good old low-brow funk could give his tunes more life. One of the tracks to benefit from this treatment was "Big Car." With thick layers of rubberband funk-bass slaps, layered vocal chants and playful brass, the tune comes across like a funkified Beck.

It's one of 13 tracks on SDP's debut disc, Marshmallow Pie. While nothing in this 50 minutes of music is particularly innovative, the collection is nonetheless playful and catchy. "Karma Thunderbolt" begins with a slow-burning funk-hop beat before solidifying with bouncy keyboard riffs and Spookie's madman grumblings. "Holy Rubbertramps" is a down-tempo waltz, providing temporary relief from the dance tracks. "Splash (in the nighttime)" builds on a punchy ska rhythm and a fluttering keyboard solo. "Coffee and Pot" is an entirely stupid yet utterly danceable ode to, well, coffee and pot. Through it all, Spookie scats and catcalls like a man on the verge of a mental breakdown. Marshmallow Pie joyously incorporates hip-hop production with light-hearted pop tunes. Yet, unlike many current radio faves who rely on generic samples for their ass-shaking grooves, SDP is a fully live — and often improvisational — group. So prepare to be surprised when they bring their show to Higher Ground next Wednedsay. Locals Turkey Bouillon Mafia open. — Ethan Covey ®

WOO H00! As a founding member of Parliament-Funkadelic, Bernie Worrell practically invented funk. His keyboard prowess later led to stints with The Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones and his own spot in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

n one corner of Janet Fredericks' new exhibit at the T.W. Wood Gallery, a small display case contains an array of primitive tools. It includes a huge, handmade pen with a copper nib attached to a fat stick, another stick with a piece of compressed charcoal tied to it, and bundles of dried weeds made into brushes. Apparently Lincoln artist Fredericks doesn't only draw from nature, as the title of her exhibit suggests; she draws with it. Her 34 drawings, monoprints and paintings here resonate with the marshes and fields these tools came from. At the same time the works remain firmly rooted in the fertile soil of contemporary abstraction. Most of the pieces are largescale works on paper. "Wild Cucumber" is a 32-by-80-inch panorama of earth-toned colors and energetic marking on a scale too grand to be called simply a drawing. A broad charcoal vertical shape wrapped with spirals anchors the left side of the composition, while two black arcs appear at the right. Layers of white and gray, brushed over sienna and ocher, surround these shapes. Fredericks constantly varies her assault on the paper. She outlines punctuations of negative space in the center of the image, scratches stjaw-like textures in the broad expanse of grayish white, and taps specks of black over rust-colored lines.
"Above and Below," along with the same whites and siennas seen in "Wild Cucumber." Not all of Fredericks' works are nonobjective. "Beaver Pond" is a 60-by80-inch diptych that repeats the color harmony of other works — the hues of a winter without fresh snow — but the artist interprets the features of the pond the way Monet did at Giverny. Reeds stand along the top edge of the picture plane, white wavy lines become ripples in the pond, black lines' fall back into space, decreasing in size like Monet's lily pads. There are hints of the world beneath the pond, and reflections drawn with less^ intensity than are the features above the water. Three drawings, "River Flow I," "New Haven" and "River Flow II," hang together to form a 15-footlong triptych that more closely observes the effects of light and water. Fredericks seems to specifically examine autumn light and a mountain stream. The three pieces are arranged in a step pattern on the wall. The first, "River Flow I," has a distinctly Japanese look. A small, orange leaf floating upstream in currents delineated, with curling black and white lines is dwarfed by the looming features of the drawings ahead of it. "New Haven," at the center, has the darkest areas, with outlines of stones under its eddies. "River Flow II" at the high right end of the triptych, is calmer, and the water contains shades of lavender, fewer white ripples and lines that are sinewy rather than agitated.
Apparently Lincoln artist Fredericks
doesn't only draw
The painting "Common Ground: Water Cycle" has a more naturalistic space, with rows of crop stubble angled toward a vanishing point; a few well-placed brush strokes indicate a dis^ tant hillock. Fredericks was probably not using her homemade tool kit on this one, as the deep blues and yellow ocher were smoothed into gradual transitions. Dark values frame the corners of the piece. Lighter values and thicker paint focus attention on the center of the canvas, where a vertical, curved sequence of rose madder and pale purple tumbles down onto the field like rain pushed by a gust of wind.
from nature, as the title of her
exhibit suggests
she draws
"Above and Below" is a large, square, mixedmedia piece suspended from one birch branch and weighted down by another beneath it. Woven black lines run along the bottom of the piece, and the background is defined with loose geometric shapes ; a half-circle on the right edge, a rectangle in the lower half. Fredericks uses watery acrylic colors to contrast washes with the rough textures of her drawing. Blue, green and dark yellow appear in
Many artists seem to try to establish an identity by working within well-defined limits, cutting off other experimentation. Fredericks has never been guilty of that. Just when it seems like she's painted too many boats, she begins to paint the stream. 1 "Drawing from Nature: A New Language" demonstrates that she is never afraid to seek new metaphors, or ways of painting them. ®

DRAGONFLY** 1 7 2 MONSTER'S BALL**** The cheery theme at the Cineplex this past weekend? The hold our dead can have on us. In Dragonfly, Kevin Costner stars as a widower who comes to believe his wife is communicating with him from beyond the grave. The latest from director Tom Shadyac, the guy who gave us both Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Patch Adams, the picture features the floundering actor's first performance in a supernatural thriller. Costner plays a doctor whose wife, also a doctor, has been killed in a bus accident while doing humanitarian work in the jungles of Venezuela. His friends and a neighbor, played by a buzz-cutted Kathy Bates, worry when he starts reporting spooky communiques from kids who have had near-death experiences and claim to have bumped into his wife "in the rainbow." A number of terribly ill children awake from the brink of death and inform the physician that his wife wants him to go there. A request that he finds understandably troubling on a number of levels. The story has a neat final twist, but en route offers little beyond a collection of B-movie jolts and genre cliches. Costner hears his wife's voice coming out of a corpse's mouth, he sees her image reflected in a window, and every time he packs away her favorite paperweight — the one with a dragonfly design on it — the darned thing reappears around the home somewhere. It's a housekeeping nightmare, but hardly the stuff of cutting-edge horror. A far more haunting meditation on the weekend's theme is offered in Monster's Ball, which benefits from daring, understated performances by Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry, who's received an Academy Award nomination for hers. Thornton plays a Georgia corrections officer who works on death row. His father (Peter Boyle) and son (Heath Ledger) are part of the same family tradition. Berry's the widow of a prisoner executed at the start of the film after spending 11 years behind bars. Her young, seriously overweight son grapples with losing his father. Thornton's son grapples with the reality that he lost his father's love years before as a result of refusing to subscribe to his racist code. Before long, both' Thornton and Berry find themselves grappling with the sudden loss of family members and brought together by that loss despite the officer's family legacy of prejudice and misogyny. Directed by Marc Forster, the film is an exercise in fill-in-the-blanks bleakness, the kind of picture that could have been codirected by David Lynch and Harold Pinter. Its landscapes are desolate. Its diners and apartments are dingy. Its dialogue is sparse but relentlessly potent and surprising. What isn't said resonates as powerfully as anything that is in the Oscar-nominated screenplay by Milo Addica and Will Rokos. And no one is more transfixing than Thornton playing complex characters of few words. The transformation he makes here, from a man who wears hate like a badge into one who rejects it and rebuilds his life, represents perhaps the finest performance the actor has given in a year that has included several truly exceptional ones. Berry more than keeps up with him. As a woman driven to the edge by loss, she turns in a raw, emotionally charged characterization that borders at times on the unhinged. It's one of the year's most interesting bits of acting. The weekend may have been dominated by big-screen downers, but this one was a pleasant surprise. ®

FESTWARD HO: The proliferation of film festivals, a phenomenon witnessed around the world during the last decade, has finally reached Vermont. Two new ventures are about to debut on the states cultural calendar, alongside existing annual cinematic extravaganzas in Burlington and Montpelier. In April, the Queen City's free "Estrogen Fest" will focus on women's issues. Two months later, the good folks of Manchester are going to host a late June event they hope could become a sort of Sundance East. Northern New England may not offer the sun and surf of Cannes, but movies are, after all, largely an indoor art form requiring darkness. Hauke Auditorium at Champlain College will be the setting for Estrogen, which is actually the renamed, relocated, sophomore edition of the "Weekend of Women's Film" presented at Burlington College in February, 2001. Last year, 20 shorts and documentaries were screened. "This time, we're also having live performance art, poetry, music and monologues," explains organizer Alexis Holloway, who is hoping to raise about $10,000 to cover her costs. "And we intend to have more discussions." This is a thematic showcase, running April 19-21, for social concerns such as reproductive rights and body image. In Your Face Guerrilla Theater, from southern Vermont, will offer live dramatic presentations on relevant topics. Writer Alice Walker collaborated on Warrior Marks, a documentary about female genital mutilation. A feature entitled Girls Town is "a speak-out for survivors of physical and sexual violence," says Holloway, whose 30-minute The Vagina Conspiracy unspooled at last year's fest. Gwyneth Paltrow Let's just hope her efforts don't inspire anyone to launch a Testosterone Fest — mainstream fare offers quite enough violence, thank you. Holloway, a 31-year-old Burlington resident, has two other new projects in progress. As a member of the five-person GroupSevenCinema collective, she is finishing Quantum Wave, an improvisational road movie shot with digital video. She's also co-writing a screenplay about domestic abuse adapted from Dog Dreams, an unpublished novel by Anne Brown of Colchester. About 100 miles due south, the Manchester Film Festival boasts a high-profile advisory board that includes the ubiquitous Ben Affleck, actor Fisher Stevens — producer of In the Bedroom — and Treat Williams, the lead earlier this month in a CBS mini-series entitled Guilty Hearts. The nonprofit, competitive fiesta will take place June 27-30 in four downtown venues that seat an estimated total of around 1000 people. "We felt that Manchester was a prime setting for a festival," says executive artistic director Alan Scott-Moncrieff, an Arlington painter, playwright and filmmaker who moved up from New York City in 1998. "It's beautiful, and we've got recreation areas, the outlet stores and a lot of second homeowners from New York and Boston.'' Along with executive director Michael Charles Hill, who owns a Massachusetts indie distribution company, Scott-Moncrieff has "a number of industry contacts" — hence the heavy-hitters advising them. "We've spent two and a half years developing this," explains the director, an Edinburgh native living the U.S. since 1987. "We are doing a prominent international film festival, not a regional film festival." To scout for selections, the two attended Robert Redford's recent celluloid gala in Utah, placed ads in movie magazines and started putting together a 3500-name mailing list of writers, directors and producers who might want to premiere their creations in Vermont. The goal is to show about 20 features and 40 or 50 documentaries, shorts and music videos. "OOmph" — the two zeros refer to the binary numbers involved in digital video technology — is what they're calling the festival's schedule of workshops, lectures and demonstrations for aspiring filmmakers. A screenplay competition is still on the drawing board, as are plans for establishing a film school in the area. Meanwhile, like the Estrogen Fest, Manchester is busily fundraising to make the motion-picture dream a reality. An April 6 benefit offers a sneak preview of Possession, based on A.S. Byatt's 1990 Booker Prize-winning fantasy and slated for a limited release in major cities on June 7. Neil LaBute directs Gwyneth Paltrow, Aaron Eckhart (Erin Brockovich) and Jeremy Northam (Gosford Park) in a story that, according to the publicity blurb, follows "a pair of literary sleuths who unearth the amorous secret of two Victorian poets, only to find themselves falling under a passionate spell." Kind of like Vermont cineastes falling for film festivals. For info, call Estrogen Fest at 660-4848 and the Manchester Film . , Festival at 362-9960. ®

Tolja! Veteran readers of this column will recall Cecil's observation years ago (December 9, 1988) that the best way to reduce your risk of HIV infection (I said AIDS at the time, because back then everybody who got HIV got AIDS and there didn't seem much point in drawing a distinction) wasn't using condoms, the standard advice at the time. Rather, it was being fussy in your choice of sexual partners. Now comes a new study from researchers at the Centers for Disease Control ("Reducing the Risk of Sexual HIV Transmission," Varghese et al„ Sexually Transmitted Diseases, January 2002). And you know what? I was right.
Granted, with the advent of new d r u g therapies, fear o f H I V has subsided a m o n g b o t h gays a n d straights. Gran-ted also, this n e w study involves only slightly less guesswork than the o n e I based m y original conclusion on. Still, to the extent that your higher cortical f u n c t i o n s are engaged w h e n you're a b o u t to have sex, u n d e r s t a n d ing h o w different behaviors affect your chance of getting H I V m a y reduce your risk of getting other sexually transmitted diseases. Let's start with some n u m -
bers. T h e stats in the C D C table indicate the relative risk of various sex partners a n d sex acts. W i t h i n each category, the first item is the baseline, the second item is x times riskier, a n d so on. For example, our experts have decided that for purposes of comparison "insertive fellatio" — getting a blow job — is the least risky two-person sex act. Being the b o t t o m d u r i n g anal sex is 100 times riskier. To figure the c o m b i n e d risk of multiple behaviors, you multiply the relative risk numbers. In the table the baseline behavior (least risky by definition) is wearing a c o n d o m while getting fellated by s o m e o n e who's tested negative for HIV. T h e riskiest behavior is being the b o t t o m d u r i n g unprotected anal sex with s o m e o n e who's H I V positive. For gays this is 8 6 0 , 0 0 0 times m o r e dangerous, t h a n their baseline, a n d for heterosexuals the risk increases by a factor of 9 , 4 1 2 , 0 0 0 . T h a t good old-fashioned blow j o b is looking better all the time. To get back to m y original p o i n t , the m o s t obvious lesson o f these n u m b e r s is to be choosy a b o u t w h o m you have sex with. For gays, having sex with s o m e o n e w h o has H I V is 4 3 0 times m o r e dangerous t h a n with s o m e o n e who's test-
T A M E S
K o e H A L k A
ed negative for H I V ; for straights, w h o have a lower rate of H I V to start with, the risk factor is 4 7 0 6 . But the type of sex act is still i m p o r tant, particularly if you don't k n o w y o u r partner's H I V status. (Admittedly it's n o t an easy subject to bring u p early in the game.) Being the recipient in anal sex is five times riskier than being the recipient in vaginal intercourse a n d 50 times riskier t h a n p e r f o r m ing fellatio. By the way, if you're w o n dering w h y cunnilingus isn't listed, the researchers say there's virtually n o risk data for it. N o t that I'd encourage the Teeming Millions to c o u r t danger, b u t this sounds like a golden o p p o r t u n i t y t o d o one's d u t y for science. O n e m i g h t quarrel with m a n y of the n u m b e r s shown here. For example, the idea that c o n d o m use decreases your risk by a factor of 2 0 strikes m e as optimistic — a factor o f 10, at best, is m o r e like it. I'd also be foolish to claim that risk of other S T D s can be extrapolated f r o m H I V risk. Still, a n y i n f o r m a t i o n has to help. We're long past the p o i n t where the only danger in sex is that h e won't respect you in the m o r n i n g .

What they play, though, is what really matters. Their contemporary program includes a piece commissioned from the Minimum Security Composers Collective as well as an inrriguingly titled work called "The Four Seasons of Futurist ^

blind ambition Andrew Potok was an accomplished painter before he lost his eyesight 25 years ago. -But the Montpelier resident turned his disability into an opportunity. When he could no longer see the canvas before him, he became a writer. His latest book — of three — is a compilation of portraits of people who are challenging preconceptions about the handicapped. He calls A Matter of Dignity: Changing the World of the Disabled his "labor of love." And considering the subject, no doubt, a steady source of inspiration.
How do you sum up a life in two acts? With three characters... In Edward Albee's Three Tall Women, a sick and forgetful woman at the end of her life is Visited by two other females — and they take stock of the human condition in a discussion of love, pain, wit, sex and the inevitable decline. As the old woman lays dying, it becomes clear the other two characters are younger versions of herself. The author of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfi won a . v Pulitzer for this portrait of a life revealed in stages.

The only thing worse than being a slave? Being a female slava Along with back-breaking work, women were often subjected to "various forms of sexual victimization,"according to sociologist professor Laura Fishman, and many of them fought back. "When we moan and groan about the increasing crime rate among African-American women today — they have a somewhat higher rate of assaultive behavior — it's important to remember that we as a society introduced them to this behavior," Fishman argues in a lecture that links "mule-headed slave women" with the plight of poor black women today.
Louise Diamond sounds like a cross between Buddha and Madeleine Albright — a one-woman peace delegation dedicated to a "better way." The self-made diplomat has spent the last 13 years encouraging people to get along in hotspots like Bosnia, Liberia, Israel and Cyprus. Her Peace Book, a compendium of resources and short lessons garnered from her experiences, cannot be bought in any store — it can only be given away. Pick up your own copy, and tips equally applicable to personal conflicts, at a discussion of her quirky "Quest for Peace."

With his distinctive style, pianist and composer Ahmad Jamal is regarded as one of the most influential pianists in jazz - on a par, says jazz critic Stanley Crouch, with Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Jelly Roll Morton, Count Basie, and Thelonius Monk. Legendary trumpeter Miles Davis - a man not given to hyperbole - enthusiastically acknowledged the role Jamal played in shaping his musical vision. Jamal's powerful ensemble for his first visit to the Flynn includes James Cammack on bass and James Johnson on drums.

On or about March 15, 2002 the above named will request that H U D release funds to be used for the following .project: Project Title: 3 Cathedral Square Location of Project: Burlington, Vermont Estimated cost of Project: Approximately $3,937,463 ($110,000 in H O M E funds, $492,500 in HSPG funds) Project Purpose: To renovate 21 units of existing senior housing into an affordable
U.S. Department of H U D , Boston Office for the H U D Special Purpose Funds at the address listed at the end of this notice and to the State for the H O M E Program at the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, National Life Building, Sixth Floor, Montpelier, Vermont 05620 no later than March 15. All comments must clearly specify which decision they object t o — t h e Finding of No Significant Impact or the Request for Release of Funds. All comments so received will be considered prior to any administrative action or any request for release of funds on the date listed immediately above.
Finding of No Significant Impact An environmental review for the project has been made by V H C B with concurrence by the State and the C E D O Office regarding the H O M E funds and is available for public examination and copying at 149 State St., Montpelier during normal business hours. Based on this review, it has been determined that a request for release of funds will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and hence, an environmental impact statement will not be undertaken under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-910). The Finding of No Significant Impact is based on the following:
Request for Release of Funds V H C B will undertake the project described above with funding from HUD. VHCB is certifying for the H U D Special Purpose Funds that Greg Brown in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and the State is certifying for the H O M E funds that Greg Brown, in the same capacity, consent to accept jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to
Review materials, local permits, state permits and public comments. Public Comments on Finding All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration to the
environmental reviews, decision-making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the. certification is that upon its approval, VHCB may use the H U D Special Purpose Funds and CEDO may use HOME Program funds, and VHCB and the State will have satisfied their responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and other environmental responsibilities listed in 24 CFR Part 58.

Objections to Release of Funds Objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification will be accepted only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the Certifying Officer approved by the State, (b) that the environmental review record for the project indicated omission of a required decision, finding, or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process, or (c) any other reason allowed under 24 CFR Part 58 section 58.75.

SEVEN DAYS
BBBB I1BBD • • • • page61a^
Feb 27 - March 6 ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): From an astrological point of view, its not a good time to inject Cheez Whiz into Hostess SnoBalls and serve them as hors d'oeuvres. Nor is it a favorable moment to recite dirty limericks to pillars of the community or to launch a vision quest in the weedy, broken-glass-littered field behind a shopping mall. While I do recommend that you explore your odder fantasies, Aries, don't get that odd. How about if instead you induce a lucid dream in which gorgeous angels give you orgasms as youflyover the Grand Canyon? How about if you play affectionate pranks on everyone you love, especially yourself? What if you loosen up your tightest inhibitions and go try the most uplifting adventure you're afraid of?
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): To attune yourself best to cosmic trends, party every day this week. If you can't find a bash, throw your own. If no one you know is in the mood to get rowdy, find new friends who are. I trust you don't need any excuses to revel, but here are some, just in case. March 1: The energizing planet Mars enters Taurus, and expansive Jupiter straightens up and flies right in your astrological House of Krazy Glue. March 2: It's the feast day of Hypatia of Alexandria (370415), first great woman mathematician. March 3: What If Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs? Day. March 4: Give Everyone a Gift for N o Reason Day. March 5: Sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" After Inhaling Helium Day.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): "Dear Dr. Brezsny: Being a Gemini, itam of course always torn. But these days the usual rip in the fabric of my soul has become a gaping abyss. Can you sew me up? I'd be ever so grateful if you'd provide a solution to my dilemma: Should I go to the London Film School and learn how to make movies of my shamanic visions, or
should I open an offshore gambling casino in Belize? — Tortured Twin." Dear Tortured: Have you considered the possibility of having your cake and eating it, too? As in both attending film school and opening the gambling casino? The stars say it s a favorable time for Geminis to get away with the most unlikely unifications.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): In the 1970s, performance art came into its own as a protest against the conventions of the art world. For raw material, artists used their bodies rather than canvas and paints or clay. Their work was not meant to be viewed at leisure in a gallery after it was finished, but rather seen by a live audience as it was created. It was fresh, provocative and unpredictable. But 30 years later, performance art is "mired in cliche," writes Libby Brooks in The Guardian. This is how she sums up London's "Span2," a month-long international festival: It's "all wanton flesh and blood-letting and orifices." Let the decline of this once-vital uprising serve as a cautionary tale, Cancerian. Keep reinventing your creative rebellion against ugliness and deceit and cruelty.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): Chances are you're not a mystic. Perhaps you don't even believe in invisible phenomena like telepathy, auras, angels, X-rays and radio waves. Nevertheless, you're now in the midst of a delicate spiritual mission involving factors, that arc imperceptible to the naked eye. You may have felt no more than odd tugs so far, but luckily I'm here to tell you about the secret that's behind them. At the moment of your conception, you see, a genetic potential was programmed to switch itself on in February and March of 2002.
Ready or not, Leo, you're about to come into possession of a previously missing key to your destiny.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I'm pleased to inform you that the Ice Age is officially over. Frozen assets, both of the financial and emotional kind, are thawing. The hearts of Icicle Queens and Glacier Kings are melting. Cold shoulders are beginning to emanate body heat, and frigid stares are giving way to molten come-hither looks. It seems that even chilly wisdom from remote mountaintops is becoming a useful fuel. Use it to stoke the fire in your soft underbelly, Virgo. Burn, baby, burn!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): They can tie one hand behind your back, Libra, but they can't keep you from working the other hand twice as hard. Why am I so sure? Because, according to a survey of 93 spirit guides and guardian angels, as well as three of my astrological colleagues, it is hardship-as-blessing time. You're unstoppable, you're crafty, you're bound for weird glory — all because some renegade god is trying to frustrate you. Rarely have you been in a better position to prove this fundamental law of the universe: Problem equals opportunity.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I'm always delighted, Scorpio, when you "let your love be like misty rain, coming softly butfloodingthe river" — as the Madagascan proverb says. Of course, I'm also enchanted when you invoke the harder-edged romantic ethic summed up by outlaw writer William S. Burroughs: "If I had my way we'd sleep every night all wrapped around each other like rattlesnakes." According to my reading of the astrological omens, both these
approaches to amour will be in full bloom during the coming weeks, as well as others you're not so familiar with. May you mix and match them with the skill of a master alchemist.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Even more than usual, you'll benefit from communing with great works of art, music, and literature from the past. While there are a few modern masterpieces, the majority of the cultural artifacts you're surrounded by are mediocre divertissements, designed to make a buck or feed an ego by appealing to the lowest common denominator. The toll this takes on your soul is incalculable. In case you need a jumpstart, here are a few of my favorite famous old maestros: Heraclitus, Goethe, Keats, van Gogh, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Stravinsky. Please also consider the masterpieces of these lesser-known female geniuses: painter Artemisia Gentileschi, poet H.D., composer Hildegard of Bingen and novelist Murasaki Shikibu.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): It'll be a great week to try at least five positions from the Kama Sutra, taste 12 flavors of ice cream, visit three new places, come up with four fresh questions concerning your destiny and reveal 13 different facets of your personality. The astrological omens are telling me that you will be rewarded for being miscellaneous, versatile and diverse. For best results, Capricorn, also practice the art of non-attachment: Give yourself enthusiastically to each new possibility without immediately claiming it as a permanent part of your identity.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A friend of mine, Allen, was evaluating the spiritual progress of a
mutual acquaintance, John. •"Twenty years of Buddhist meditation and he's still an insensitive jerk," Allen concluded with a flourish. I didn't respond except to say, "Hmmm." It's my policy to refrain from participating in the popular sport of badmouthing. But I agreed with Allen's assessment. Like many seekers I've known, John hasn't translated his high-minded religious principles and rigorous devotional practices into the way he treats people in his daily life. Lest I sound self-righteous, I acknowledge that I myself am not always a perfect reflection of my ideals. And every one of us falls at least a little short of his or her best self. That's the bad news, Aquarius. The good news is that it's now prime time for you to close the gap.
