Donald R. Eggert Rev. Diane Sullivan Stefan Bumbeck

I recently read an article in U.K. Guardian newspaper... I was horri­ fied to read that in 1983 the Reagan administration had intelli­ gence reports of almost daily use of chemical weapons by Iraq, and that despite this knowledge, dozens of biological agents, including various strains of anthrax, had been shipped to Iraq by U.S. companies under license from the commerce department.

During this period Mr. Rums­ feld was President Reagans Middle East troubleshooter. The same Rumsfeld, as defense secretary in the current Bush Administration, is denouncing Iraq for its past use of chemical weapons.

A look at the other members of the Bush team who are pushing for war shows: George W. Bush, 197884: senior executive, Arbusto Energy/Bush Exploitation, an oil company; 1986-90: senior execu­ tive of the Harken oil company.

Dick Cheney, 1995-2000: chief executive of the Halliburton oil company. Condoleezza Rice, 19912000: senior executive with Chev­ ron oil company. Saddam sits on the second biggest oilfield in the world.

There can be few people who need convincing that the world would be a better place without

Saddam Hussein, but he is not the only evil dictator in the world, and not the only one with weapons of mass destruction. No connection has been established between Iraq and the tragedy of Sept 11. Why are we on the brink of war with Iraq?

Is it because of unscrupulous past foreign policy and oil? As the massive worldwide antiwar protests [“Peace Work,” Feb. 19] and the U.N. debate show, the Bush administration has not made a con­ vincing case for war at this time.

dates to appeal to a large enough segment of the public in order to win elections.” Perhaps he should spend less time playing games with voters, and more time taking prin­ cipled stands on issues important to people. Has this “political scien­ tist” ever heard of Bernie Sanders or Patrick Leahy?

For his grand finale, Gierzsynski uses ever more mysterious reason­ ing to insult voters dissatisfied with unacceptable moderate Democrat candidates by calling them spoilers.

All this wisdom from an “expert” whose base of support is the College Democrat Club.

Tim Ashe TONY THE PHONY?

BURLINGTON

I am always amused when the comedy routine called Tony Gierzsynski hits the pages of the Vermont press [“Letters,” Feb. 19].

Are they giving away Ph.Ds these days, or just Democratic house nominations?

Gierzsynski claims that surveys “show that the U.S. public is more conservative than liberal.” Yet poll after poll demonstrates widespread majority support for “liberal” issues like universal health care, strength­ ened Social Security and environ­ mental protection.

Gierzsynski moans that liberal Democrats and Progressives don’t see the need “for moderate candi­

ARTISTIC FREEDOM

Jason Wartsbaugh [“Letters,” Feb. 12] accusing anyone who discusses the causes of 9/11 of having forgot­ ten what happened on that date is preposterous. His idea that he knows more about an artists intent than the artist himself is similarly absurd. And to accuse Dug Nap — a creator of primitive art — of provincialism belies reason. His fur­ ther assertion that my letter defend­ ing an artists freedom of expression distances us from the horror of the event is equally obtuse. Ironically, he would rather we distance the tragedy from ourselves by blindly

PLAN B

Susan Greens article, “Marketing the Message” [Feb. 19] speaks to the importance of image in the Iraq crisis. Fear not, there is still a way for George Bush to protect his tough-guy image and not go to war. Yes, Saddam Hussein is a bru­

)

tal dictator that we don’t like. (As opposed to the brutal dictators thai we’ve been more than happy to support.) But blowing a place to pieces and killing lots and lots of people has never been a very effec­ tive marketing technique for the charms of the American Way (wit­ ness Vietnam).

I suggest that President Bush save face now by secretly dropping this whole bomb-Iraq hobby, and instead redirecting the entire $548 billion (wow!) Pentagon budget to

fund education, social security and. any number of other goodies in Bush’s campaign mantra. This could be achieved through an elab­ orate offshore money-laundering scheme, involving top Pentagon officials, a Swiss bank or two, and a remote island (preferably tropical, with good beaches and golf cours­ es). A carefully timed leak to the press could expose the plan, setting up Donald Rumsfeld to be the fall guy. George Bush could aggressive­ ly denounce Rumsfeld as a betrayer

WHY BURLINGTON?

It is too bad about the housing shortage and also a hard time to find a place to live in Burlington.

There are a lot of reasons why I would want to live in Burlington instead of Rutland...

The crowds in Nectars and Club Metronome were so much more supportive of my musical tal­ ent than crowds are in Rutland.

Burlington crowds are more open to original music than they are in Rutland.

There are far more opportuni­ ties in Burlington musical-wise and otherwise than in Rutland. If a per­ son tries hard at pursuing his

dreams in Burlington, he will get somewhere.

Seven Days nas been decent enough to do nice but honest reviews on everything that I sent them, where the Rutland media snub me.

When I was up there visiting for a few days I had such a great time, and met so many open-minded people, and loved the nightlife, that it was devastating when it was time to go back to Rutland...

Your radio stations are far better than the ones in Rudand.

I can see why it is hard to find a place to live in Burlington because it is such a great place to live... [and] one of the best places in the East for an aspiring musi­ cian like myself to achieve his goals. Every time I go up to Burlington to visit or play a gig, I have so much fun that I hate to leave. All I can say is, hats off to a great city and such open-minded people. I would love to call Burlington my home.

lexander the Great did it. So did the .

Mongols, the Sumerians, the Persians, the Arabs and even the British. In fact, Iraq is one of the most conquered places on Earth.

Now it’s George W. Bushs turn. Isn’t this exciting? Aren’t you proud to be an American?

It used to be said during the 19thcentury reign of Queen Victoria that the sun never set on the Union Jack, the British flag.

Today in the 21st century, it can be said that the sun never sets on the American flag, a burning American flag, that is.

Everyday, on every continent, Old Glory is set ablaze. This is not a real good sign, folks.

For weeks, yours truly’s been humming an old prophetic tune from the 1960s by patriot and folksinger Phil Ochs. It’s called “Cops of the World.”

Our boots are needing a shine, boys Boots are needing a shine But our Coca-Cola is fine, boys Coca-Cola is fine.

We’ll spit through the streets o f the cities we wreck.

We’llfin d you a leader that you can’t elect.

Those treaties we signed were a pain in the neck, ’Cause we're the cops o f the world, boys, We’re the cops o f the world With King Bush II on the throne, America has quickly turned into the most despised nation on Earth. What’s the say­ ing — there are two superpowers left: the United States and world public opinion?

First, you’ll recall, Dubya’s stated reason for his Iraq fixation was to rid Saddam H ussein of his “weapons of mass destruc• » tion.

Then we were told by George the Great that it’s really about “regime change.”

Saddam must go!

And then, last week, reversing his earlier stated opposition to Bill Clinton’s foreign policy, King Bush II told us it is, after all, all about “nation-building.” The purpose of this mad enterprise is to bring democracy to a culture and country that has never known it. And if we have to slaughter thousands of civilians to make them free, so be it.

When we butchered your sons, boys When we butchered your sons Have a stick o f our gum, boys Have a stick o f our bubble-gum.

We own half the world, Oh, say can you see?

And the name o f our prophet is democracy.

So like it or not you will have to befree, free, free!

‘Cause were the cops o f the world, boy We’re the cops o f the world.

The hanging chads of Florida pale in comparison to the Hanging Gardens of King Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 B.C.). This is the Fertile Crescent. The cra­ dle of civilization. The biblical setting for the Garden of Eden. Every true conqueror worth his salt has conquered the land now called Iraq.

But what happened to our democracy, eh? King Bush II has rammed through dra­ conian police-state-style laws that have gut­ ted our Bill of Rights. Big Brother has risen from the ashes of communism and rein­ vented himself as the Prince of Homeland Security.

Good lord.

And King Bush II has unilaterally changed the essence of American foreign policy. Negotiation is out. Domination is in. We will invade any country, any time, for any reason. We possess more weapons of mass destruction than the rest of the world combined and we are not afraid to use them. The 21st century, in the view of our ruler, will be the age of the American Empire!

Church & College 8 6 3 - 3 7 5 9

"I’ve eaten crab cakes from Maine to M aryland-and yours are the best yeti”

Clean the johns with a rag, boys Clean the johns with a rag.

If you like you can use your flag, boys If you like you can use your flag.

We’ve got too much money, we’re look­ ing for toys, And guns will be guns and boys will be boys, But we’ll gladly pay for all we destroy ’Cause we’re the cops of the world, boys We’re the cops o f the world.

— Anthony, Greenwich, C T [comment card quote]

The way things are going, anyone who dares utter the words of Patrick Henry — “Give me liberty or give me death” — will be considered unpatriotic.

Our "Hijacked Democracy" — A mod­ ern-day Oracle of Delphi spoke at the Statehouse Saturday. Her name is Arianna H uffington. She’s an elegant and sexy 52year-old Greek redhead with the wisdom of Socrates and the wit of Robin Williams.

“I was born in Athens, Greece,” said Arianna. “You know, we gave you democ­ racy and you’ve screwed it up.”

She was educated in England at Cam­ bridge University where she was president of the debating society. No dyed-in-thewool left-winger was she. Arianna’s first book was a stunning rebuttal of the femi­ nist movement. Yes, the lady has come a long, long way.

By the early 1990s, she was the wife of a billionaire Republican congressman, Michael H uffington and a confidante of GOP Speaker Newt Gingrich. Arianna has since evolved into a fire-breathing god­ dess of truth and justice.

American democracy, she said, has been “hijacked” by an upper crust of crooked and greedy corporate thieves. We highly recommend her latest bestseller, Pig at the Trough. It chronicles the dirty deeds of the greatest thieves of our time, from Enron’s Ken Lay to Adelphia’s John Rigas.

“At their heart,” said Arianna on Saturday, “these corporate scandals are a political scandal. They would not have happened were it not for the nexus of cor­ ruption between Washington and Corporate America.”

At their root, she said, is the “enabling” that’s gone on, in which Congress and the IN S ID E T R A C K »

who robbed a bank in Port Royal, Virginia, stuffed the money in his pockets, but as he fled, $100 bills fell out. When he reached his getaway car, he found he had locked the keys inside and tried to break the window with a log. When he failed, he huried the log at a pickup truck parked nearby. The pickups owner, Emmett Lowe, saw the incident from inside his store and con­ fronted the man, not knowing of the robbery. After a short conversation, Lowe returned to his store, where bank tellers, who had witnessed the confrontation, called to tell him that the man had just robbed them.

The New York Times reported that Republicans added the provision on behalf of the Fieldale Farms Corp., a poultry producer in Baldwin, Georgia, which has been try­ ing since last summer to be permitted to label its chickens as organic while feeding them a mix of conventional and organic feed.

Inspector Geoff Miles sent per­ sonal letters to 22 persistent offenders in Wiltshire County, suggesting that the recipient “make it a priority in any New Year’s resolutions you make from 2003 onwards, to cease forthwith your criminal activities.” Miles said that sending the letters is an experiment that “will not do any harm,” but he pointed out that he’s being realistic.

t’s looking more and more like Governor Jim Douglas has stolen a few pages from George W. Bush’s political playbook.

Like the president, Douglas ran for office trying to hug the middle of the political road. Once elected, however — and once again like Bush — Vermont’s governor is using his honeymoon period to make a hard turn to the right.

To understand Douglas’ true politi­ cal intentions, all Vermonters have to do is follow the money. It’s true that the governor inherited a messy eco­ nomic situation, thanks in part to his buddy in the W hite House and his predecessor now aiming for that same job. But his budget priorities nonethe­ less provide a clear ideological snap­ shot: dramatic cuts in programs on the environment, arts and education and funding increases for commerce and the business community.

Historically, Republicans have gotten a sinister kick out of bad economic times, which provide them with political cover while they take aim at the govern­ mental programs they despise. Reagan used the inflationary period of the 1980s to dismantle social programs; Bush is using today’s tough economy to strangle social and environmental programs while miraculously finding enough government money for the military and business incentives. And he has the audacity to propose huge tax cuts for the wealthiest citizens.

Douglas seems cut from the same cloth. Consider what he is proposing for the Agency of Natural Resources. Doug­ las was fairly honest about his hostility toward the ANR during his campaign — particularly for its oversight of the state’s most notorious development law, Act 250. But his proposal to cut nearly 10 percent of the agency’s budget still took many by surprise. Compare that to the 2 percent increase granted to the Agency of Commerce.

“The Governor campaigned on a plat­ form to overhaul the ANR’s permitting process,” says Senator Susan Bartlett, chair of the Senate’s Appropriations Committee. “But I don’t know how he’s going to accomplish that by cutting the agency’s budget by 10 percent. It doesn’t add up.”

John Brabant, an environmental analyst with ANR since 1988, agrees with Bartlett. “They’ve been starving this agency for years, running the good people out and leaving positions unfilled,” he told Seven Days. “We can’t enforce the laws and do the necessary work at our current levels. Douglas’ cuts will only speed up our death spiral.”

The governor’s disdain for the ANR apparently made it difficult for him to fill important positions within the agency. After the election, he turned to Elizabeth McLain, a former deputy secre­ tary o f the ANR, to help him find candi­ dates for commissionerships and the sec­ retary slot. ' .

“It’s not easy finding Republicans who went to college to save the environ­ ment,” one administration official told Seven Days on condition of anonymity.

“And it’s not real enticing to take a pay cut in order to run a state agency with a bull’s-eye on its back.”

McLain’s search for a secretary of the ANR eventually ended when she was persuaded to take the job herself. Ad­ ministration insiders say McLain wasn’t thrilled to discover how little freedom she had in selecting commissioners for departments that operate within ANR’s domain: environmental conservation, parks and recreation, and fish and wildlife.

The Douglas team had a heavy hand, for example, in the controversial appointment of Jeffrey Wennberg to head the Department of Environmental Conservation. Endorsed by a curiously compliant Senate Natural Resources Committee last week, Wennberg’s selec­ tion drew the ire of environmentalists and provided yet another ideological benchmark for the new powers-that-be • in Montpelier.

Wennberg hasn’t been shy about tak­ ing sides in the environment vs. develop­ ment debate. He once dismissed Act 250 — the law his department is sworn to uphold — as nothing but an “environ­ mental juggernaut.” When his appoint­ ment was announced, and challenged, Douglas was hard pressed to defend the former Rutland mayor’s environmental resume. The best he came up with was a “recycling ordinance,” among a few other equally bland eco-accomplishments.

Many see Wennberg as Vermont’s version of Christine Todd W hitm an, the former Republican governor of New Jersey who was called in to obedi­ ently run the Environmental Protec­ tion Agency as the Bush administration undermined its mission and squeezed its budget. W hitm an has had to smile and defend attacks on clean air, clean water and global warming initiatives.

Wennberg is being called upon to do much the same with Act 250.

In an appearance before Bartlett’s Appropriations Committee last week, Wennberg didn’t seem bothered by the dramatic budget cuts or the elimination of six employees. He played the good soldier and put the best spin on his odd predicament: to produce more work with fewer funds and people.

“The cuts to our budget only reflect the economic realities of the state,” Wennberg told Seven Days. “If I thought I was going to be overseeing the disman­ tling o f the department, I wouldn’t have taken the job.”

Senator Bartlett isn’t buying it, though. “Unfortunately, it’s an old trick,” she says. “You bleed the agencies you don’t like.” ®

THE PUZZLE: As you can guessfrom her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to pre­ dict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) allfollow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is?

(Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them— how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.)

(

Read the directions to the puzzle before relegating yourself to STUPIDITY. When asked to elope, smoke dope, or be tied up with rope, Fannie says NOPE. She ordered an AB CONTROLLER to flatten her stomach, and her dog humped it.

Everything she has ordered from catalogs was DEFECTIVE, including an ant farm.

On a whim she flew to Amsterdam on KLM, intending to work in the red light district.

Her plane was HIJACKED by fanatical monarchists wielding makeup applicators.

In case you're interested, Lorenzo GHIBERTI is Fannie's favorite Florentine sculptor.

In high school the guys called Fannie STUCK-UP because she only dated non-jocks.

She is known for DEFTLY avoiding tense situations, such as a first kiss.

For escape she often flies to the island of TUVALU in the South Pacific.

Email me with feedback and questions: dd44art@aol.com. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY. I f you’re stuck, see the H I N T printed sideways on this page. I f you cave, see the A N SW E R on page 12a. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week.

Next week she’l l have a whole new set o f likes and dislikes.

hat is it about this Iraqi war that just won’t get off the ground? Last week, oil prices rose to their highest level since Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990, and still the press talks about a “possible” or “proba­ ble” or “seemingly inevitable” attack. It may not be “about the oil,” as many think, but it will be if the Bushmen don’t get moving.

The New York Times reports, “Every time that oil prices have risen by at least 60 per­ cent since World War II, a recession has occurred in the United States.” We’ve hit 69 percent so far this year.

“It’s just reached the stage where it can’t

longer the issue — it’s “democracy” we want for Iraq! Like the democracy that allowed even the Turkish parliament, bribed to the gills, to reject a measure that would have allowed U.S. troops on Turkish soil to invade Iraq from the north. Even through the muck of money, threats and favors, it appears, 95 percent of the Turkish people are against this war, and that’s high even by local standards.

The miraculous capture of al-Qaeda operative and “9/11 mastermind” Khalid Shaikh Mohs imed — in Pakistan, of all places, o ".e of the UN Security Council’s “undecided” votes on Iraq! — was followed by assurances that Mohammed won’t be brought to the United States for interroga­ tion.

(2) Research. This is what you’re asking about. One of the original arguments for the manned space program was that in microgravity astronauts would be able to grow purer crystals and such. Many scientists now doubt the effort is worth the trouble. In 1998 the American Society for Cell Biology declared, “Most of [NASA’s space-based life science research] is driven by the need to make use of the engineer­ ing temple called the International Space Station (ISS)” — that is, NASA didn’t develop the ISS to do experiments, it dreamed up the experiments to justify the ISS. Space is an extremely difficult environment in which to do research, the ASCB said. Space studies to date have shown that biological processes are largely unaffected by microgravity. Most bio­ logical research can be conducted more effectively on the ground. “Areas of research such as protein crystallization, drug design and basic animal and plant cell and develop­ mental biology can not be used to justify a space mission, ’ the ASCB concluded.

f you don’t like the weather in Vermont, just wait a minute. In winter that old maxim has special meaning for David Gomez, whose every waking hour is guided by the whims of Mother Nature. Even his sleep may be sacrificed to the fickle cli­ mate. As a sidewalk plow operator for the Burlington Department of Public Works, the 44-year-old Essex Junction resident is permanently on call in case it snows.

But Gomez, who is unmarried, really doesn’t mind if his routine is disrupted ________________________ _ by the vagaries of precipitation. After David Gomez almost two years on the job, he takes Sidewalk Plow Operator pride in keePing the pavement passable „ !• . _ . along his route in the Hill Section and Burlington Public Works Dept. r f _ . _.

South End or the city.

The burly Gomez is master of his machinery — a rugged one-seat orange vehi­ cle that serves as a plow when it snows and a sweeper when sidewalks are dry and dusty in the warmer months. He’s also frequently on pothole-filling duty in the spring and summer. You might not think of smooth outdoor surfaces as a matter of civic order. But Gomez does.

SEVEN DAYS: First of all, do you go

by David or Dave?

DAVID GOMEZ: Everyone here calls me Diamond.

SD: Diamond?

DG: (Laughing) The guys just think I sparkle out there.

SD: Sounds like a stamp of approval.

Why is the job so appealing?

DG: The work is steady, I always get paid and I’m part of something. I belong. When problems arise, you’ve got your “first responders” — like firefight­ ers and police — and then you’ve got us. Without us, the city stops.

SD: I never thought of it that way.

But does th e labor ever become arduous?

DG: Yes. It’s hard dealing with snow banks when the temperature dips to 10 below. Last winter was a cakewalk. This year has been tough on the workers, on the equipment, on the budget and on the citizens.

honeycombs the ice, which then becomes easier to clean.

SD: What are th e hazards?

DG: The key is knowing where the fences and hydrants are located. And you have to watch for people popping out of doorways or cars pulling out of driveways. Last year, I hit a manhole cover on Willard Street and it shot me into a parked car. Luckily, it was minor damage.

SD: And you literally have to be available no m atter w hat, w h en ev­ er there's new snow?

DG: That’s right. We have pagers.

Nights, weekends, holidays. We’re on diesel fuel — a Holder, that’s who allowed to leave town on vacations, makes them. There are three types of weather permitting. You don’t plan any­ attachments: I use a V-blade on it to thing* The days sort of all run into each blast a path through the snow. A blower other. A small storm might last a long isn’t as fast, but it carves through even time and we have to keep staying with deeper snow. A straight blade is for it. It takes a miracle of management to scraping up the ice. People comment organize all this. I have three great boss­ that the sidewalks are safer now — that’s es: Dan Hill, Steve Hamman and Pam because of all the straight blades we got Tuttle. They’ve been instrumental in this year. Before, we only had one; now helping me learn. there are enough for all eight or nine sidewalk plows.

SD: What were your previous occu­ pations?

SD: How do you coordinate w ith th e street plows?

DG: You name it.

DG: The sidewalk crews go out after the main plows do their thing. They start with priority routes where there’s more traffic, then secondary side streets or dead ends. We’re like the broom and dust pan following in their tracks.

During rush hour, it can be a challenge to get our routes done within seven or eight hours. Otherwise, when we can travel on the sidewalks, four or five hours is usually enough time.

SD: Well, begin at th e b egin n in g.

W hile growing up in Essex Junction, w here did you en vision life would take you?

SD: Explain th e plow ing process.

SD: Severe cold m ust m ake it trickier.

DG: There are seven different routes, with one person per machine. They make violent motions — we try not to eat too much before going out. But it’s a beautiful piece of equipment that runs

DG: Absolutely. If the ice hardens, it’s next to impossible to get the sidewalk completely clear. But we work with nature. The sun heats up the sand-salt combination we put down and that

SD: What UVM courses did you take?

DG: Math. I was trying to get ready for architectural studies. IBM offered me a full-time job, but I’d set my sights on college, so there was a big move to leave the state.

SD: What do you mean?

DG: I attended the Boston Architectural Center from 1983 to 1989. My goal was to be a builder. I did production draft­ ing at an architecture firm by day and took five courses at night. It was a hard school, a good school, an impossible school. I still wasn’t an academic person.

I come from a blue-collar background; it was tough for me to enter a white-collar world. Another factor was that I had been trained as a manual drafter, but it was the advent of computers.

SD: Did you fin ish ?

DG: I was about half-way through when I came home. I’d gotten myself in a deep hole financially. In Vermont, I worked for other architects. Then I went down tp Florida in the early 1990s. I did drafting for a cabinet company until Hurricane Andrew blew in and the local economy was destroyed.

SD: What cam e next?

DG: I thought about going into the mil­ itary. My father had been an Army sergeant and some of my uncles-were in the Marines. But Dad pushed me to go to college. After graduating high school in 1976, I worked in manufacturing at Rossignol skis for a few years. Then I had a stint at IBM as an intern in facility maintenance. At that time, I took cours­ es with University of Vermont Contin­ uing Ed. I’d never been a stellar student, though. As a teenager, I was really only good at racing around in my car.

DG: My dad had a few strokes, so I came back to help out. I delivered oil, did auto mechanics, returned to manu­ facturing at Blodgett ovens. I was really floundering, in terms of my professional life. I’d lost my focus. Then I saw the DPW ad. In my architectural days, I was never the one who did hands-on stuff. But I always had a fascination with heavy equipment. This is the most suit­ able career for on-the-job training because, when they hire you, a good work ethic is more important than skills.

SD: You fou n d your sparkle here?

DG: It’s the kind of work I always wanted.

SD: In w hat sense?

DG: To be needed. ®

powerful lobbyists who run it have gamed the system to encourage corruption.

“Greed has always existed,” said Arianna. “Were not going to eliminate greed. But right now greed is flourishing.”

P.S. Saturday’s visit to Vermont wasn’t Arianna’s first.

She told Seven Days that Vermont is the first place she landed in America. The year was 1967 and Arianna Stassinopolous was a Greek high-school student partic­ ipating in an exchange program run by the Brattleboro-based Experiment in International Living. Something in that Vermont water, eh?

favorite presidential hopeful did another nice job on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday. Iraq is not an imminent threat to the United States while North Korea is, said Howard Dean. And Howard is not in favor of tortur­ ing al-Qaeda prisoners. Good for him, torture has too many fans these days in our mad, mad, mad, mad world.

The fact is, candidate Howard Dean has reached a key plateau in his personal quest to climb Mr. Everest. He’s gone from “obscure longshot” to “significant player.”

His position on the conquest of Iraq has put him in the national spotlight. It’s won him admirers and contributors and a growing list of enemies.

Recently Rep. Tom Delay, the GOP “Hammer” in the House, lashed out at Ho-Ho for criticiz­ ing Dubya on Iraq. Delay accused Dean of supporting “appeasement.” That’s a word from the 1930s that refers to the British/American acceptance of Adolph H itler’s expanding Third Reich.

But Saddam Hussein is hardly in expansion mode. He’s sur­ rounded by powerful enemies and his sky is filled with U.S. and British warplanes. No matter how many times American TV replays the video of Saddam waving that long sword or firing that rifle into the air, he’s hardly a threat to the world’s only superpower located 6000 miles away.

Tom Delay is not the only Dean critic out there. “Roll Call” columnist Stuart Rothenberg recently highlighted Ho-Ho’s New York City roots.

“In style, he’s like a freight train,” wrote Rothenberg.

“Confident to the point that some people will see arrogance,

and so certain about his prescrip, tions that many will regard him as inflexible, Dean will need to overcome the fact that voters prefer their presidents to be likable, empathetic, even charming.

Instead, he almost appears angry.”

Yeah, yeah, sure. New Yorkers, by nature, are a little pushy.

C’mon, Stu, everybody knows that. Ever try to catch a cab at rush hour?

Dr. Dean has been kicking his Capitol Hill opponents in the shins for weeks, and we’re told they’ve just about had it with the little guy from Vermont. Time to return fire.

Some have noted that Dean “sheepishly” signed Vermont’s landmark civil-unions law in pri­ vate, while today he wears its pas­ sage like a badge of courage.

And others are even citing his refusal to support medical mari­ juana as a black mark against him.

All of this, of course, is to be expected. Ho-Ho has clearly arrived. He’s in rhe ring. Last fighter standing wins the Democratic nomination.

On Tuesday, Dean spoke at noon to a stahding-room-only crowd of more than 400 twentysomethings — mostly congres­ sional staffers — at a Capitol Hill eatery. Dean was introduced by U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Jim Jeffords. Our sources say the crowd went totally nuts.

This coming Sunday at 9 a.m., candidate Dean slides into the hot seat on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” with Tim Russert play­ ing the Grand Inquisitor.

Should be worth a look.

Upper-Class Tiff — Whoa!

Don’t you just hate to see mil­ lionaire Republicans fighting amongst themselves?

The sordid snit erupted on the pages of The New York Times last week. On one side was the Manchester Education Fund. On the other — Vermont’s Repub­ lican National Committeeman Skip Vallee.

You see, upscale Manchester, like about two dozen other gold towns, set up its own private, off-the-tax-rolls fundraising scheme to circumvent Act 60’s sharing po'ol. The effort raises $2.4 million annually. It’s a way to keep Manchester dollars in Man-chester. Sharing their wealth with the children of the unwashed is an unacceptable concept.

To pressure local residents and businesses to contribute, the Manchester School Fund publish­ es the names of “voluntary” donors in the local paper. And word-of-mouth effectively lets folks know who isn’t making their “voluntary” contribution.

Businesses that cave in to the shakedown get a nice sticker to put in their front window. It’s not hard to notice which businesses lack stickers.

According to the Times, “This year’s number-one shamed per­ son” was Skip Vallee, a wealthy out-of-town businessman who owns the Maplefields chain of

ack Dunlap is the patriarch of a family whose generations have lived on the same property in Concord, Massachusetts, since the time of Paul Reveres famous ride. They were born with silver spoons in their mouths, ink-blue blood coursing through STORY their veins, and the gene for WASP com­ munication — or, more precisely, a stark VICTORIA lack thereof. “When did talking ever bring TILN EY MCDONOUGH anyone anything but grief?” asks Jack. In Norwich author Jessica Shattuck’s witty and The Hazards of wonderful first novel, The Hazards o f Good Good Breeding, Breeding, the Dunlaps are experiencing

Boston’s languishing Brahmin aristocracy — a world of cotillions and country hous­ es, prep-school privilege and membership to exclusive golf and tennis clubs.

Take her father Jack. Known as a man who “likes to drink bourbon straight and climb mountains in torrential downpours without complaining,” he spends the wee hours of most nights building intricate Revolutionary War dioramas in the base­ ment. He also raises sleek and exuberant blue heelers — dogs descended from the first of their kind in America and no doubt listed in some elitist breeder’s dossier. Jack rambles around the “opulent decrepitude” of his house — the Dunlaps are all about owning property and not spending the fam­ ily money — busying himself and ignoring the fact that his little son Eliot, without the proper guidance and love of his parents, is escaping deeper and deeper inside himself.

Still, I rate this one among my “top five” concerts of all time — right up there with the MC5 at my high school in 1969 and Paul M cCartney performing Beatles songs during his 1990 Wings tour.

At long last, Lou Reed is performing in Burlington for the first tim e — Wednesday, March 12, at the University of Vermont. His show, presented by Burlington impresario Ken Mills, coin­ cides with the current Fleming M useum exhibit, “Andy Warhol Work and Play.”

Lxclcu^/!

Btim Sister here’s a telling moment in “Devotion Clusters” when dancer Selene Colburn reveals the meat behind the motion. In this multi-media dance piece she performed three years ago at the Flynn, her pre-recorded voice intones, “At some point you have to ask yourself: Do you want to fuck Bob Dylan or do you want to be Bob Dylan?” She stretches out into a modified headstand, slaps both sneakered feet on the floor and bounces back up to strike a pose* that looks like a preparation for a pirouette. It’s not.

“If you’re a 16-year-old girl and your answer is the latter, you’re really in some kind of trouble,” Colburn’s hypnotic voice warns.

W ith a winning combination of social critique and self-deprecation, she recalls her own atypi­ cal adolescence. The kinks unique to a selfdescribed “dork” turned rock ’n’ roll-loving feminist turns out to be fun fodder for a 40minute piece.

At 33, Colburn is no more ordinary than she was as a kid directing annual backyard pro­ ductions of Camelot. W hen she’s not working as a freelance archivist at the University of Vermont, she incorporates dance, video, art, spoken word — and knitting — into shows that may end up in a gallery or on a prosceni­ um stage. Currently, she’s all over Burlington.

The Firehouse Gallery is hosting an exhibit of her visual art, including drawings, sculpture and a Kung Fu-inspired video called “Anti-war Propaganda Action Movie.”

The same footage kicks off a new work she’s performing this Thursday and Friday at the FlynnSpace. “O Muse” examines relation­ ships, war, peace and Colburn’s favorite subject — gender — through the filter of Homer’s Odyssey. The evening — collectively titled The Stomach Never Lies: True Confessions and Moving Images — also features two dances by fellow Bennington College grad Dominique Zeltzman, with whom Colburn danced for four years in San Francisco. The two will team up on a piece from that period called “Alonesome and Twosome.” Bay Area critics dubbed them “the dynamic duo of feminist dance.”

Colburn has “arrived” this week in Burlington, but in some ways she never left.

The Queen City-born Vermonter hails from a creative clan with deep Green Mountain roots.

Her father’s father, Francis Colburn, founded the art department at the Uni­

versity of Vermont. Her grandmother, with whom Selene was extremely close, was a poet and teacher. T hat her mother manages circula­ tion at Fletcher Free Library may have some­ thing to do with Selene’s degree in library sci­ ence. Her maternal grandmother was a dancer.

In one way or another, Col-burn has managed to follow in the footsteps of every member of her family.

She’s also the product of the Burlington dance scene, such as it was 15 years ago when local choreographers Sara McMahon, Hannah Dennison, Penny Campbell, Nancy Watkin, Alison Granucci, Ccce Gable and Rick Darnell were regularly making and presenting work.

Colburn was a student at Main Street Dance, which offered regular classes in jazz, modern and ballet. She also joined the studio’s teen dance company — StreetTeens — which had gigs all over Chittenden County. Denni-son gave Colburn her first part in a serious dance piece at age 15. She required very little guidance. “I just said, ‘This is what I am interested in. This is what I am thinking about,”’ Dennison recalls.

“And off she went.”

Although the performing experience was valuable, the prevailing atmosphere of invention made a greater impression on Colburn, Most of the movers in Burlington were entranced by the post-modern principles espoused by dancers working more than a decade earlier in New York: they rejected balletic notions of beauty and grace to explore the authenticity of everyday motions. “A lot of people were working improvisationally, which really lets you explore your own movement patterns,” Colburn recalls. “Especially when you’re an adolescent, it’s a really great way to come into it.”

Dancers are to choreographers as musicians are to composers — means to realize a compo­ sitional end. It was that creative side of the process that appealed to Colburn. “Even though I studied technique forever and ever, I always felt like a choreographer,” she explains.

“I never had any aspirations to go and dance in somebody else’s company. I always only wanted to make dances.”

Being a choreographer requires more

than vision. In Colburn’s case, it involves driv­ ing from Hardwick — where she lives with her archivist husband — to spend four evenings a week in an empty studio at the Flynn. She’s

trading her organizational expertise for free access to the rehearsal space. Colburn lets herself into the darkened building, changes from jeans into a pair of sweats and, after a brief warm-up, gets moving on “O Muse.” She references a big black book as she strings steps into phrases. Despite her story source, there is nothing literal­ ly Odyssean about the gestures.

Nothing remotely “classical,” either. Colburn rejects the dainty dancer thing. Her moves aren’t ornamental or frivo­ lous but weighty and unadorned. She makes full use of gravity, whether she’s holding a handstand or hitting the floor with an unabashed thud. Dance Magazine described it as “a compelling combination of the unstudied and the rig­ orous.” With obvious approval, Dennison reports, “Selene got turned down for a grant because it wasn’t pretty.”

On Thursday Colburn was struggling with a Brazilian capoeira-like move that launched her from a seated posi­ tion on the floor into a jump. Her early training as a gymnast is evident, but she pulls it off without being

The Odyssey is really this story of what happens to a per­ son after a long, bloody war.” She saw the contemporary parallel. “So I definitely shifted some of my attention to the Iliad... I guess it’s kind of an antiwar piece.”

Colburn made a similar shift in her art show, which Firehouse curator Pascal Spengemann describes as “a very topical exhibition. Her approach is amazing in the sense that she uses the materials at hand — her body, a video camera, a simple ink wash, sewing machines, knitting — to address something that is happening in real time,” he observes. “When I asked her to do this show eight months ago, this war wasn’t about to happen. I’m sure she went through a whole series of permutations. Her mind moves in a way that forces her to be more topical, I think.”

Along those lines, Colburn offered part of her exhibi­ tion space to the Political Knitters Project, a group of 23 activists who combine yarn-working and current events.

It’s an interactive installation that invites viewers to talk

flashy. “She just sort of flings herself down into it, yet her way of recovering seems... I was going to say effort­ less,’ but no, it seems very direct,” Dennison offers.

In other words, the physical exertion is apparent.

Colburn doesn’t try to hide it with a flourish or a smile.

She seems to be fearless,” Dennison says. “Whether it’s a proscenium stage or another setting, she seems to be really comfortable there.”

Colburn gets “there” by pursuing a question. In the spirit of archival research, her pieces are all motivated by an inquiry of some sort. In “Devotion Clusters” she admits adoring The Rolling Stones despite their brutish behavior and misogynist lyrics. Her humorous explo­ ration incorporates two versions of “Satisfaction” and includes observations like “Cultural theory is great because you can twist the meaning around until you get what you want.” Best of all, it winds up with the artist dancing wildly, living-room style, to “Under My Thumb.”

How the pursuit plays out in “O Muse” remains to be seen. Initially, Colburn was interested in the gender poli­ tics in Homer’s epic — Penelope definitely gets the raw end of the deal in the Odyssey. But while Colburn was reading about Sirens and Cyclops, “We were bomb*ng Afghanistan and getting ready to go to war with Iraq.

politics and knit, or learn to use the needles for the very first time. Meghan O’Rourke made the knitted house that dominates the gallery. She was inspired by the allencompassing warmth she got from a pair of pants craft­ ed by the same means, which are also hanging in the exhibition.

It’s a cosy scene that may — or may not — have some­ thing to do with the Odyssey Penelope busied herself weav­ ing and unraveling a shroud, waiting for her man to come back from the war. For his part, Odysseus spent years searching for home. Miniature knitted houses placed around the room suggest a proliferation of domestic sce­ narios. The warm and inviting fiber dwellings suggest not only individual lives but also the larger notion of a shared but fragile community.

Colburn may have found the best of both worlds in the “boonies,” as she calls her current home in Hardwick. She’s done with San Fran, and also Boston, where she spent two years earning her master’s in library science. For now she says she’s committed to Vermont, even if the state offers a smaller local selection of dance partners. It could mean a new role for Hannah Denni­ son, who gave Colburn her first big break in Burlington.

“We talked about her making a solo for me,” Dennison says, noting the tables have turned. “I like that.” ®

Checking Dean’s political pulse in New Hampshire

by Ken Picard Images by Jordan Silverman

t’s just before dark and blistery cold as photogra55 pher Jordan Silverman and I pull into downS town Manchester, New Hampshire. Were out searching for presidential candidates and tonight’s supposed to be a good night to spot them. It’s the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s annual fundraiser known as the “100 Club Dinner.” The name used to reflect the price of a ticket, which now costs four to five times that amount. The joke this year is that it also refers to the field of Democrats who have tossed their hats into the ring — nine at last count, with perhaps four more wait­ ing in the wings. We were promised at least a halfdozen of them this evening but find that only three can make it: Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, the Rev. A1 Sharpton and Governor Howard Dean.

It’s a sore reminder about the unreliability of cam­ paign promises.

Seven Days has sent me here to gauge the senti­ ments of non-Vermonters about Howard Dean. It’s a curious assignment, considering I’ve only been in the Green Mountain State for four months. Not that I’m a neophyte in the political terrain. I spent a few years in the New York Assembly working for the chairman of the Commerce Committee, Lew Yevoli, a maverick Democrat who routinely butted heads with the 1980s darling of the Democratic Party, Governor Mario Cuomo. I had a brief stint reporting on the Idaho Statehouse in Boise, writing a slew of political pieces out of Helena and cover­ ing elections from western Montana. But having missed the Sturm und Drang of the Dean decade, my views on the Vermont doctor are still as raw and unformed as those of many of the folks I’ve come to observe in Manchester.

Dean’s been the “flavor of the month” for about six months in the national media, with no sign that his appeal is waning. Apparently, this shocks the Birkenstocks off many Vermonters who long ago grew jaded to his centrist politics — by Vermont standards, anyway. Likewise, they’re astounded and bemused to see the historically vanilla orator described as a “fiery” speaker by the likes of The New York Times. There’s a disconnect out there

somewhere, and I’m supposed to track it down.

As we turn a corner into the Holiday Inn park­ ing lot, I spot the first crop of campaign signs.

They all say “Howard Dean: The Doctor Is In!” The abundance of Dean paraphernalia isn’t surpris­ ing, considering the proximity of his home base.

But there’s not a single Lieberman banner any­ where, even though the “Liebermaniacs” — as his supporters call themselves — had a shorter drive than we did. In front of the hotel a gaggle of Dean and John Edwards backers are elbowing each other for turf along the sidewalk. Edwards won’t make the event in person, having been called away at the last minute for a homeland security briefing with FBI Director Robert Mueller.

I briefly duck into the hotel lobby and pick up my press credentials, a fancy term for the red index card on a string with the word “PRESS” scrawled across it in black magic marker. Months from now the media will likely have to contend with the more rigorous security measures of the Secret Seirvice, who eventually will be called upon to guard the next potential occupant of the White House.

Tonight, no one even asks to see my ID. Outside the hotel two or three photographers begin shooting off a few frames of the campaign volunteers waving their placards. The appearance of telephoto lenses is all it takes to rile up this young crowd of clean-cut, neatly dressed and almost uni­ versally white faces. “When I say doctor, you say Dean!” starts one organizer. “Doctor!” “Dean!” they answer. This call and refrain competes with that of the Edwards gang: “Edwards for president! Edwards for president!”

In the brief intervals when the Dean backers are not shouting or fumbling in their parkas for hand warmers, I strike up some conversations with them.

Many are fresh-faced students from various New England colleges testing the waters in their firstever presidential race. Several say they saw Dean on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and were impressed with his tough antiwar position, his views on health-care reform and his fiscal conservatism.

“This guy is a break-the-mold candidate and,

more importantly, he knows what he’s talking about,” says Sidd Pattanayak, a 25year-old Boston University law student who drove an hour and a half with a friend just to stand outside in the cold.

"When he got up there last Saturday [at the Democratic National Committee meeting] and said, ‘I’m part of the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party,’ people heard that.”

Pattanayak, who’s assembling a grass­ roots Dean organization back in Boston, already has a lot riding on the race — he’s bet all his friends $50 Dean will land the Democratic nomination.

Dean’s stance against the invasion of Iraq resonates with Jerry Sneirson of Durham, N.H. He’s one of the few people waving a Dean sign who’s old enough to remember this country’s last go-round with widespread antiwar rallies. The 63year-old retired airline pilot tells me he flew C-124 cargo planes in and out of Vietnam. Often, he was shuttling a mixed cargo of soldiers and pinewood coffins — “separately on the way over, together on the way back.” One reason he supports Dean, he says, is he dreads seeing that image repeated.

Moments later, a red Ford Explorer with Vermont plates pulls into the drive­ way and is instantly swarmed by the crowd. Dean steps out and smiles, shakes a lew hands and chats briefly with his sup­ porters. I chase him into the lobby and hurriedly introduce myself. “You came all the way down from Burlington for this?”

Dean asks. “I’m impressed.”

An aide quickly shepherds the governor upstairs to the mezzanine level and into the “Dartmouth Room.” Each candidate is corrallfed in a separate conference room where Democratic high-rollers are making the rounds for some one-on-one time.

“This guy is a break-the-mold candidate.”

B o sto n

Members of the press are not allowed into “the petting zoo,” as one reporter calls it.

Before long, the candidates’ handlers shoo us away. No media allowed until feeding time is over.

Downstairs, I wade into the crowd of party faithful assembling outside the grand ballroom. The median age here is a good 20 years older than among the sign-wav­ ing folks outside the hotel. In the ball­ room I check out the dozen or so tables where volunteers are hawking the obliga­ tory red-white-and-blue campaign shwag: bumper stickers, pins, refrigerator mag­ nets, tote bags that read, “New Hamp­ shire: Where it all begins.” A Kerry volun­ teer sets up a TV set and VCR to show the senator’s promotional video, “John Kerry: The Courage to Stand Up for W hat’s Right.” Kerry probably isn’t doing much standing tonight — he’s home recovering from prostate surgery.

I elbow my way through the throng to the Howard Dean table, where the doc­ tor’s team is busily dispensing orange pre­ scription bottles that read, “Rx For Change in 2004: Howard Dean.” At a neighboring table, a salt-and-pepperhaired Lieberman supporter is fussily rear­ ranging a formation of “Joe in 2004” cof­ fee mugs. He’s having a tough time find­ ing any takers.

I chitchat for a while with a retired state rep from Concord and a couple of middle-aged guys sporting Senator Paul Simon bowties. Then I spot someone

heading toward the ballroom who looks decidedly more hip in his narrow, nerdrock glasses. His snazzy jacket has a Dean sticker on it, so I stop him and ask where he’s from and what he thinks of the candi­ date.

Turns out I’ve stumbled upon Chad Griffin, political consultant to Rob Reiner.

Last week the Hollywood director of such films as This is Spinal Tap and When Harry Met Sally threw his sizeable political and financial clout behind Dean and agreed to serve on his California fundraising com­ mittee. I ask Griffin what Southern Californians are saying about the former Green Mountain governor.

“There’s a tremendous buzz out in L.A. for Howard Dean,” Griffin says. “I think you’ll see Rob Reiner will not be the last person to endorse Howard Dean in the entertainment industry.” While some of that interest was clearly sparked among Hollywood’s civil unionists and pacifists, Griffin insists Dean has broader appeal, especially among California’s independent and first-time voters. “I think Dean has the ability to inspire those who believe big business is what controls politics,” he says.

“Howard is showing the real difference between the Democrats and the Republicans.”

—. make my way into the ballroom where 5 the evening’s emcee is blowing a refer52 ee’s whistle and asking everyone to

come inside and take their seats. The buzzing crowd ignores her. The louder she talks, the louder they buzz. I nudge a reporter from a Concord TV station and ask him who she is. He shrugs indifferent­ ly and continues fiddling with his micro­ phone. Most of the room’s 600 or so seats are still empty, but a party bigwig suggests the event will net $150,000 to $200,000 for Democratic coffers.

A woman wearing a John Kerry button approaches the cordoned-off press area at the back of the room and asks me who I write for. I tell her. “I’m a Kerry supporter, but there’s a real buzz for this Howard Dean. People are really energized,” says Mary Tetreau of Londonderry, without any prompting. “That speech he gave about being the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party? How ’bout that, huh?”

I’m sensing a theme.

Across the room, Jordan is shooting pictures of some guy with a Howard Dean button as big as a hubcap. I make my way over and introduce myself. He’s Tony Baltes, owner of Tigereye Design in Versailles, Ohio. Baltes claims his compa­ ny has been the primary supplier o f cam­ paign buttons for all the Democratic Senate and gubernatorial races in the last 10 to 15 years. He drove up from Ohio all by himself just for a chance to meet Dean.

“We’ve been real big Dean people — my family, that is — in Ohio for a long time. I liked him when he ran for gover­ nor,” Baltes says. “W hen I heard he was

running for president, I started making these things and sending them to all my friends.” Lately, he says, Dean buttons have become a hot commodity.

I notice the union label on Baltes’ button and ask him whether he sees support growing for Dean among organized labor. He says it’s too early to say.

“I’ll tell you who they’re gonna support — the guy they think can beat George Bush,” he says. “If this guy can catch the wave, labor will be behind him all the way.”

The crowd finally quiets down when Jeanne Shaheen, the former three-term New Hampshire governor, is introduced. A veteran reporter — or so I assume, based on the wad of laminated press pass­ es hanging around his neck — informs me this is Shaheen’s first political outing since she lost her U.S. Senate race to Republican John Sununu in November. Shaheen is given the honor of introduc­ ing all three candidates.

First up, Shaheen invites to the podium “the sleeper candidate and the one to watch, our neigh­ bor, Howard Dean!” Lining the wall, about 50 Dean supporters — including many of the signwavers from outside the hotel who got invited in — go wild, shaking their Dean pill bottles filled with pennies. I can hardly hear his theme music — Elvis’ “A Little Less Talk.” It takes a while for the crowd to settle down.

“You know why it is that only 18 percent of kids between the age of 18 and 25 vote? Because we don’t give them anything to vote for,” Dean tells the audience. “You know why less than' 50 percent of all adults in America vote? It’s because they can’t tell the difference between the parties. If we don’t stand up for what we believe in, why should any American be drawn to the Democratic Party?”

Dean launches into a litany of populist themes: early childhood intervention, better pay for teachers and firefighters, universal health insurance. Not surprisingly, he levels his harshest attacks on Bush, condemning him for his stance on affirmative action and for creating the largest budget deficit in history. On Bush’s foreign policy Dean lunges straight for the jugular.

“Can you imagine North Korea becoming a nuclear power on this^president’s watch? Who lost North Korea, Mr. President?” Dean shouts, as the crowd rises to its feet in applause. “It’s time to start talking and disarming North Korea and stop worry­

ing about a country that can’t even feed its own * people!” |c Lieberman’s 15-minute speech is methodical and ; to the point — if uninspiring — but still garners < an enthusiastic response from the Liebermaniacs in from Connecticut. The senator pulls out a handful | of good one-liners, the obligatory duct tape joke f and a crack that “Joe Millionaire is not the only one promising what he doesn’t have.”

But when Lieberman begins talking about the j differing opinions within the Democratic Party over a war in Iraq, a hush descends upon the audi­ ence, as though a terminally ill family member just 1 entered the room. While he explains why he thinks I Saddam Hussein must be disarmed, the only other sound comes from the busboys clearing glasses and j silverware. Still, Lieberman distances himself from Bush on the issue. “Let us be clear,” he says.

“When more people around the world see the cur­ rent American president as a greater threat to peace j than Saddam Hussein, then you know something is I really wrong with his foreign policy.”

Later, Lieberman is interrupted by someone in the back of the room who shouts, “No war, no war!” The Senator deftly sidesteps this intrusion and, with a cheer from the audience, resumes his remarks. He closes his speech by saying, “I know George Bush can be beat, because Al Gore and I did it in 2000.” The room gives him a standing ovation.

It’s a rock-solid performance. The only mystery is Lieberman’s choice o f a theme song: “Glory Days,” by Bruce Springsteen. I look around and wonder: Doesn’t anyone else notice the irony of a song about aging has-beens reminiscing about the lost vigor of their youth?

Last on the program is Al Sharpton, who takes the podium to the crooning of Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.” If Sharpton is traveling with an entourage, it’s nowhere in sight. A smatter­ ing of people head for the exits. As one of them passes me, he spots my reporter’s notebook and taps me on the shoulder. “Let it be noted that some of us left the room when Sharpton got up to speak,” he says.

A couple of TV crews start breaking down their tripods. One reporter mouths along silently to Sharpton’s words, as though he’s heard him count­ less times. But Sharpton delivers an impassioned

Howard Dean swept up by the energy in the room. I’ve attended plenty of good political speeches, even a few excel­ lent ones, including several by Mario Cuomo. But Dean spoke with the kind of honesty you don’t expect from a politician so much as from ... well, a family physician.

Are Vermonters really surprised to hear him called a “fiery speaker?” A few minutes into his speech, I was amazed that anyone would describe him otherwise. And I’ll admit it: A couple times I felt a chill run down my spine, as though I were watching something historical, like an old newsreel °f a Harry Truman stump speech.

When it came to attacking inside-the-Beltway politics, Dean pulled no punches, which only rein­ forced his persona as the Washington outsider.

coming, it still came across as neither trite nor pre­ dictable: “If you’d like someone who’s from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, I’d like your support!”

Has this been Dean’s message all along? I’m too green on the scene to say. As for what Vermonters should make of the new and improved Howard Dean, perhaps he just had to find a louder voice to grab the attention of a national audience. After all, Vermonters are used to taking their time, driving slower, speaking in more measured tones. Don’t rush me, flatlander. I ’ve got some cheese to age. Or, perhaps life is just so much better in Vermont, what we think of as ho-hum tastes as sweet as maple syrup to everyone else. ®

Fuse Marketing helps clients keep their youthful figures

J STORY

AM Y SOUZA IMAGE

M ATTHEW THORSEN

enner Richard skateboards on company time. Greg Waters buys Playboy magazine with the company card. Julie Jatlow talks to some of the world’s most famous action-sports athletes and gets paid for it.

Youth culture rules at Fuse Integrated Sports Marketing, a 35-employee Burlington marketing services firm, which also has offices in San Fran­ cisco. Not only are the people who work here young — the median age is 25 — so is their target audience. Fuse’s biggest clients are Fortune 500 cor­ porations — Ford, PepsiCo and Motorola — trying to catch the eye, and wallets, of teen and youngadult buyers. Fuse helps them get their game with ads and other marketing efforts, such as sponsor­ ships of events and athletes, that make it with youth. Firm leaders Bill Carter and Brett Smith were recently listed in Fast Company's “Fast 50” — the magazine’s annual readers’ challenge highlight­ ing the top business innovators of the year.

A lot of what Fuse does is about action — once known as “extreme” — sports like skateboarding, snowboarding and motocross. For the second year Jenner Richard is organizing and traveling with the Mountain Dew Free Flow tour, a skateboarding competition in which amateurs compete for money and prizes. Greg Waters, 26, works primarily as PR manager for Gravis shoes and buys magazines —

hip feel. Employees wear sneakers and hoodies, and contented-looking dogs loaf beside their owners’ desks or wander out to sniff a passerby. Colorful skateboards and posters of pro snowboarders and male and female beefcake adorn the walls.

“It’s structured but not corporate,” says Seth Neary, 31, a designer and video editor. “We can wear jeans and a T-shirt and still get the job done well.”

Fuse was founded in 1995 by Teresa Jenson, a longtime Burton employee, who envisioned a firm that would provide marketing services to snow­ boarding companies. By m id-1998 she left to become a full-time mom, and Carter and Smith repositioned the company to attract more lucrative accounts.

“The real money is with Fortune 500 companies who use sports to reach teens and young adults,” Carter says, noting the company also continues to work with clients like Burton and Gravis.

The change was a shrewd business move. Today, Fuse has broadened its scope to include four pillars of kid culture: action sports, music, fashion and technology. For instance, the company is currently working to create a music-focused Motorola pro­ motion that could include sponsoring summer tours and bands. Their projects run the gamut from entire marketing campaigns to down-and-dirty tac-

“W hat’s also important for a lot of companies i the idea of capturing the loyalty of a teen con­ sumer,” Carter says. A teen might start out w^ith Mountain Dew — PepsiCo’s “gateway” beverage then move on to Pepsi as a twentysomething and Diet Pepsi at middle age. Older adults move on to Diet Pepsi. “Now you’ve sold 15 to 20 years’ word of product,” Carter explains.

But a company can’t build brand loyalty if it doesn’t speak the language of its target audience.

“There’s a lot less room for error when marketing to teens,” Carter notes. “They’re far more suspect o marketing and advertising, and much more tuned in to what’s relevant and irrelevant to them.”

Much of Fuse’s job, then, is translating youth culture to its clients. Left to its own devices, a com pany might create a marketing piece that’s not “authentic,” or talk to kids in a way that a stodgy adult thinks is cool but is really just the opposite. I a company looks like it’s trying too hard, it’s bounc to lose cred.

Catch phrases automatically lose their cool the minute they get co-opted. The word extreme— or its shorthand, the letter x — became irrelevant to Fuse when banks started touting “extreme” check­ ing accounts. Too much reliance on jargon can be a problem, anyway. Words go in and out of style at

There’s a lot less room for error when marketing to teens.

F USE P R E S I D E N T B I L L CARTE1 including, yes, Playboy — that feature PR “hits” of the skateboarder-style products. Part of Julie Jatlow’s job as a consultant includes matching athletes with companies that have sponsorship money to spend.

Along with Burton Snowboards and Jager DiPaola Kemp Design, Fuse has a reputation among twentysomethings as one of the coolest places to work in Burlington. Company president Bill Carter welcomes the hundreds of job queries that come in each year. “If we get dozens of resumes each week, that’s great,” he says. “Then we get to pick from the smartest of the bunch.”

Inside the company’s office at the Maltex Building on Pine Street, the brick and stone walls, Ikea furniture and arched windows give the place a

deal efforts like event logistics and creating press kits. Fuse designs logos and “premiums” for events — things like stickers, T-shirts and plastic cups that kids can take home. About the only thing Fuse doesn’t do is create broadcast ads.

The company’s core audience is 15- to 19-yearolds, though Carter says the demographic stretches to people in their mid-thirties. The reason for mar­ keting to teens is simple: There are 32 million of them in the U.S. today. And that number is pre­ dicted to rise to 35 million by 2010. Last year teens spent $153 billion on products such as video games, computers and cell phones — not to men­ tion soda and fast food. But it’s not just teen money companies are after.

the speed of light. And California surfer-speak may be unintelligible to New York City skateboarders or snowboarders in Vermont.

It’s also important to look like you know what you’re doing. An agency might create a snowboard­ ing or skateboarding ad based on the mainstream media’s image o f that sport. But if the snowboard bindings are set up wrong or a kid is doing skating •tricks while wearing flimsy sandals, then the target audience will simply walk away laughing.

“This demographic knows when there’s fluff,” says Jatlow, 27, part o f Fuse’s Mountain Dew con­ sulting team. “We want the consumer to believe in the brand.”

With responsibility, of course, comes a fair amount of stress and hard work. An event might require 12- to 14-hour days, plus travel time, U st week, for instance, Seth Neary stayed in the office until midnight editing a video for Motorola, but that’s all right by him.

"Being able to do cool tilings with video is fun,” Neary says. "And the payoff is, I get to say the next morning, ‘Check out what I did last night.”’

As people age their priorities often shift — wit­ ness Fuse's founder and her desire to be home with her kids. That won’t he the case with everyone, of course, and Carter insists no one will be asked to leave Fuse when they turn 30. As production man ager j.D . Dale points out, it really doesn’t matter if you’re 25 or 35 if you're into action sports, read­ ing the magazines and taking part, then you ntr part of that culture. After ail, professional skate­ boarder Tony Hawk is 34 and a dad

But change is inevitable. Until six months ago. everyone at Fuse was single and no one had children Then Carter hired someone who was married, and anothet employee tied the knot. One staffer is prepating to have a baby. “We just had a conversation about maternity leave and I said, 'Huh, we never thougln about that before,’” says Carter, who is 34.

As fcf the company’s future, well, who knows’ Fuse might one day be bought out by a larger agency, which could mean a move out of Burlington, Carter notes. But not yet. "It would be so difficult to retain out corporate culture that, for now," he concludes, "we just won’t waver on it ”

LETTERS FROM THE B L A C K ::Crooked Fingers inhabit a bleak world of debauchery and desperation. Since leaving '90s alt rock stais Aichere Uf loaf, songwriter brie bachmanu became obsessed with the underbelly of American pop. With tlie Fingers, he waips melancholia and madness into gor­ geous odes to the dark. On Ked Devil Dawn, the gioup's latest ictease un ubei indie Merge Recoids, the former Archer comes across like a Baroque lorn Waits. CrookcJ Finyers open fui popster

Halvorson's Upstreet Cafe 16 Church St., Burlington, 658-0278 A family-owned restaurant with a long history, Halvorson's has kept upper Church Street fed for more than 20 years. Inside the small, relaxed eating area, small tables and low lighting create a nice ambiance for catching a burger and fries. The big treat, however, is the large, partially enclosed patio out back. During the summer months, the ivy-covered walls and spacious seating offer a perfect hideaway from the shopping hordes. Local legend Big Joe Burrell blows blues and jazz each Thursday. In the summer, local and regional bands rock the weekend nights away. Expect a small cover charge at the door.

SEVENDAYS I march 05-12, 2003 I music 37A

review th is 3RDA, THINGS DON'T MATTER (Self-released, CD) After some membership adjustments last year, Burlington-based JRDA now finds itself poised "to march forward in their plan for world domination." The current lineup is Aaron Cowan (lead guitar), Jesse Cowan (bass, vocals), Mike Gaito (vocals, guitar) and Dan Bailey (drums). JRDA offer up their first EP, things d o n 't m atter, recorded last December. The quartet invented the word "progresso" to describe their sound, a "hard-edged music with a sense of humor... melding progressive rock, jazz, classic rock and classical, a quirky fusion" that "spans from the absurd to the pro­ found." The production is clean — maybe too clean.

The band illustrates a fine sense of composition, but the music doesn't really ever suggest the absurd or the profound. The tunes deliver a number of intricate changes and fast notation, but any sense of "hard edge" here is quelled by Gaito's droning and sustained vocals about feelings of emptiness and moments of elation.

RANDY GAETANO

JOHNNY AZER, THE GLORY YEARS (Self-released, CD) With The Glory Years, Nyte Owlz drummer Johnny Azer returns with his second solo disc, a driving record of glammed-up rock and jangly pop. Though a bit over the top with lighter-waving, power-ballad material, the album is hands-down Azer's best to date. Where the Nyte Owlz' last outing, M yths & Legends, suffered from lackluster production, Azer's effort sparkles with a crystalline mix. He also sounds strong vocally, pack­ ing each note with a dizzying amount of heart-onsleeve emotion. The Rutland native croons like a Bono reared on 70s rock on tunes like "Worship From Afar" and "No One Seems." Album closer "Heart Could Hear Me," a re-recording of one of Myths & Legends' strongest tracks, adds keyboards, piano, layered acoustic guitars and a wailing lead, turning the song into a seven-minute glam epic. The Glory Years is a strong album of anthemic power-pop by a true Vermont talent.

OLD JAWBONE, SOUNDS UNIVERSAL (Self-released, CD) The local sextet Old Jawbone creates music that is passionate, danceable and very difficult to describe. That's a compliment. On their recent CD release, Sounds Universal, OJB — the band's alternate name — deals out an amalgamation of roots reggae, mambo, hip-hop, horn-section soul music and '70s-styte synth-funk, to name a few of the many styles they've incorporated.

Elijah Kraatz, the band's lead singer and a primary songwriter, was liberated from an early affection for "death metal" music when he discovered, and began to explore, the spiritual and musical legacy of Bob Marley. Kraatz writes and sings as if he was born and raised in Trenchtown.

His lyrics echo Marley's philosophy of faith, hope and optimism, and the recognition that a per­ son should take a stand for what's important in their lives. Many of OJB's songs are a plea for reason, revolution and peace in an overwhelming world.

The band's name is derived from the weapon used by Samson to defeat the Philistines in the Old Testament. A quote on the band's Web site warns, "Never doubt the power of a small group of thoughtful individuals to change the world."

Add to this strong philosophical core a seasoned team of fine musicians and songwriters who are absolutely comfortable playing together — the band reportedly hasn't skipped its regular weekly practice session in years. With a rock-solid rhythm section, OJB has become an imposing musical entity in Vermont.

Sounds Universal takes off with a Kraatz composition entitled "Come Along," which utilizes a catchy meter change in the refrain to pick you up and carry you into the feast of different styles to come. In "Elevate," the band delares: "We play music of 1 . the revolutionary kind; 2. the evo­ lutionary kind; 3. the loving kind to elevate your mind."

Old Jawbone's groove is unyielding, their message heartfelt, and their music fascinating, pro­ viding lots of much-needed good energy right now. The band plays Higher Ground this Thursday, with Manifest Nextome.

E X H IB IT "Family Matters," paintings and mixed media by Linda Jones.

Living/Leaming Center Gallery, University of Vermont, Burlington.

Through March 13.

IM AGE

Matthew Thorsen

F a m ily

he art gallery at U V M ’s Living/ Learning Center is probably the best-kept secret o f Vermont’s visual art scene. Curator Joan Watson, director of the Center’s ceramics co­ op, has been presenting top-quality exhibitions in the large and well-lit gallery space for more years than she can probably remember. It’s a place for artists to show some of their edgi­ est work without commercial pres­ sures or aesthetic biases. This month’s exhibition by Burlington artist Linda Jones, entitled “Family Matters,” is typical of the high-caliber work at the L/L — it’s challenging, gutsy and innovative.

“Family Matters” consists of four large-scale paintings, two large con­ structions and a series of 11 smaller assemblages grouped together under the title “Preserving Family Matter.”

The paintings are fairly traditional Abstract Expressionist works and are typical of Jones’ painterly style. The acrobatic displays of interwoven fields and arcs are dominated by strong reds, white and black while also scumbled with pale yellows and blues.

The other works in the show are far from traditional. Jones has incorporat­ ed forensic evidence of family life into her constructions and assemblage pieces. Her artist’s statement indicates they include “materials that have touched my family both literally and figuratively. Materials that have absorbed, injected, probed and sewn flesh together.”

Sound yucky? It’s really just media.

OPENINGS Jones can successfully incorporate familial medical detritus into her work because she keeps formal, artistic con­ siderations at the forefront of each image. These, pieces are not intended to horrify or disgust. Each is simply a different kind of self- or family por­ trait, and they’re more closely related to medieval reliquaries than to contem­ porary shock art.

The “Preserving Family Matter” / L assemblage series illustrates that differ­ ence perfectly. In each of the roughly 12-by-9-inch pieces, Jones uses encaus­ tic and bronze powder to give them background surfaces reminiscent of gold-leafed icons. But rather than car­ rying a haloed mystical portrait, each has a pool of translucent pink, yellow and pale blue acrylic polymers resem­ bling a large biopsy. Hair, bandages, EEG wires and other family relics that have actually been used are contained in the fleshy plastic pools. “Preserving Family Matter # 9 ” contains two of Jones’ dental crowns. They probably don’t look that much different than the tooth of St. Peter, purported to be at St. Denis Cathedral in France. The dif­ ference is mostly in the packaging.

The constructions “Family Matters I + II” are semicircular convex canvass­ es pierced with illuminated X-rays and * suspended on the walls by irregularly T , spaced, stretched rubber surgical tub- V ing. Both pieces are about seven feet ill. diameter, and have the same Caucasia^ flesh tones that appear in the smaller . assemblages. Hair and bits o f medical waste have been sewn or glazed into /I'

them. The constructions are expansive, biomorphic forms that resemble single cells enlarged a hundred thousand times. The shimmering X-rays inset into the canvasses’ ripped openings are like bleached bones revealed through torn flesh. i The dimensions of Jones’ traditional paintings are human-scale, correspon­ ding to her own and other family members’ heights in the fall of 2001 — the time when the stretchers were fashioned. The piece entitled “Mark and Cody” is as tall as her husband Mark Stephens and as wide as the height of her eldest son Cody. The other paintings in the series are “Cody and Clark,” “Mark and Linda” and “Linda and Clark.” While random fac­ tors determine the dimensions of most artists’ paintings, Jones’ decidedly nonrandom approach to canvas size and shape underscores the fact that the exhibit’s theme is her family’s physical life, quantified and documented. It’s as if Jones and crew aren’t just the show’s artistic subjects, but scientific subjects as well.

Not much is random about “Family Matters.” Jones also writes that she has collected the medical relics of her fami­ ly for ‘‘reasons not entirely clear to me.” Perhaps the same would be true of the religious faithful who collected the hair, teeth and shreds of cloth that once touched living saints. It may be an impulse to preserve the tangible evi­ dence of intangible connections, espe­ cially those that have something to do with love. ®

O ld S c h o o l ★ ★ ★

T A D O LLS H O U SE Ferrell and one of his favorite fraternity friends.

his is a comedy with a number of extremely funny running jokes, but the funniest has to be the film’s cen­ terpiece: I he recently married Will Ferrell is discovered by his disbeliev­ ing bride — and a carful of her clos­ est friends — running stark naked and hammered out of his head down the middle of his town’s busiest street.

You no doubt have a sense o f the scene, since it’s featured in the movie’s TV ads. W hat you may doubt is the ability of the rest of the picture to measure up — or down — to that standard. Either way, you needn’t worry.

After all, O ld School director Todd Phillips is on familiar ground. His pre­ vious work includes Road Trip, which chronicled the misadventures of a group of fraternity buds. Prior to that he’d made a documentary called Frat House, a controversial hit at Sundance in 1998. It’s a safe bet that, like many of us, he’d watched A n im al House at least a half-dozen times. Phillips may be the world’s foremost authority on frat-themed filmmaking.

This is a frat film with a difference, however. The director turns the tradi­ tion on its head by telling his story from the point o f view of grownups wistful foT unfettered youth, rather than adolescents who covet the license

CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS M IN D -*-*-** George Clooney makes

of adults. Ferrell and Vince Vaughn play guys for whom married life has, to say the least, lost its luster.

Luke Wilson’s a friend on the rebound from a disastrous relation­ ship. Vaughn helps him find a house near the local college campus. When he discovers the building is zoned only for university use, he decides to turn it into a frat house. This, he figures, will help reintroduce Wilson into the dat­ ing stream while providing both him­ self and Ferrell with a no-pressure home away from home.

W hat it also provides is the basis for a series of gags, a few of which are on the insipid side and a majority of which are semi-inspired. All by itself, the notion of a renegade house made up o f middle-aged refugees from the mainstream is loopily appealing.

W hat responsible breadwinner can’t relate to the fantasy of returning for a time to the Dionysian days of post­ secondary education? Many who partied along with John Belushi in their twenties might savor the chance to do the same in their forties or fifties with Ferrell.

This actor is the perfect avatar for a comic midlife crisis. The ultimate anti-Bluto, Ferrell has few peers when it comes to playing well-intentioned wormboys who can’t get the hang of

adulthood. His inner child clearly wants to drink up, not grow up. The best part of attending O ld School is watching what happens when he lets the wild child have his way.

Wilson and Vaughn are highly entertaining as well. Vaughn in partic­ ular proves a considerably more natu­ ral comic talent than one might expect, especially in light of his con­ vincing portrayal of Norman Bates and the fact that he sounds chillingly like Christopher Walken. The film also features a nifty turn by Jeremy Piven as the disapproving dean who targets the manimal house for elimina­ tion.

The twist, of course, is that the dis­ gruntled administrator is now a con­ temporary of the aging miscreants, a doofus they’d known and messed with a bit in their younger days. Unfortu­ nately for our three stooges, the guy’s sense o f humor hasn’t improved with age, and he makes it his mission to put them out o f funny business. Given the movie’s premise, it’s the perfect touch.

Motion pictures don’t get a whole lot dopier. Brows don’t go a whole lot lower. In these troubled times, though, a good laugh is almost never a bad thing, and almost every frame of O ld School is grade-A goofball fun. ®

Tuesday and Sunday. W hat’s a critic of popular culture to do? Search out the few halfway decent “movies” scheduled on television, that’s what: Reading alphabetically through T V Guide, I spot A Better Way to Die list­ ed for H BO . Never heard of it. But the stars are promising. Andre Braugher and Joe Pantoliano in a tale of mistaken iden­ tity that pits a cop against both the FBI and the Chicago underworld. Uh-oh.

Doesn’t start until 2:05 Friday morning.

Way past my bedtime.

Next up, The Big Picture , with Martin Short and Kevin Bacon, also on Friday. I remember really liking this satire of Hollywood when it came out in 1989.

Might be worth another shot. Damn!

Cinemax, which I don’t get. And even if I did, it’s at 6:15 a.m. — way before I wake up.

Skipping down to the Es, Enemy a t the Gates is a 2001 release that I missed.

The cast is intriguing: Jude Law, Ed Harris and Bob Hoskins. Wouldn’t you know? Eleven p.m. works for me, but not on Showtime, another premium cable channel that doesn’t come into my home.

Just as well. The plot centers on the Battle of Stalingrad, and I’m not in the mood for war stories these days.

Aha! Hannah and Her Sisters is one of Woody Allen’s masterpieces — from his Mia Farrow period, no less. Michael Caine and Dianne Wiest won Oscars for their supporting roles. Bingo! This 1986 saga of family and betrayal is on T M C at 6:3 0 p.m., Wednesday, March 5. So I won’t catch all the nightly news programs for a change. Too depressing anyhow.

Am I perhaps blessed with two good­ ies in a row? The Luzhin Defense runs

P o l l o c k bring: no solution. Although

anything with Ed Harris is worthwhile, and I never saw this 20 0 0 biopic about the seminal abstract artist, the HBO broadcast is on Thursday at 4: 15 a.m.

Who are all these insomniacs the cable stations are perpetually trying to please?

My outlook brightens when I discover T M C has reserved a 9 p.m. slot on Friday for The Score, an underrated example of the heist double-cross genre.

Yes, Marlon Brando is a little too Apocalypse Now as a master thief. But Edward Norton and Robert DeNiro, playing his partners in a safe-cracking scheme, are terrific. While it would be a second time around for me, the Montreal setting is just so j e ne sais quoi.

Whoa! W hat’s this on Friday? T M C has programmed Women in Love, a British art-house classic based on D .H .

Lawrence’s novel about the illusions of romance. Glenda Jackson nabbed a 1970 Academy Award for her perform­ ance in this gothic sexual escapade directed by Ken Russell. Bum m er... it begins at 2:4 5 a.m.

Though I’m committed to dream­ land then, the seriously sleepless might be in for some prurient viewing during the Film’s nude wrestling scene with Alan Bates and Oliver Reed. The female characters must be the ones wrestling with their libidos, however. At least I assume that’s why critic Rex Reed — no relation to Oliver — suggested: “They should take all the pretentious dialogue off the soundtrack and call it Women in H eat.”

Hey, the cinematic choices may be limited, but heat of any kind is a good thing when it’s below zero outside. (7)

SAINTS AND WINNERS

If we coutda, we woulda tied for first place in the float competition in last Saturday's Mardi Gras parade, but as Seven Days was once again a cosponsor of the annual event put on by Magic Hat, we weren't eligible. Apparently, though, the "Saints Alive!" theme and our tribute to Burlington's late "Clarinet Man," Richard Haupt, won the hearts and votes of the judges.

• But the "Dog Pound" float from a group of Burlington friends took first place.

Redstone Commercial Group came in second with another water-oriented float. Last year hot tubs, this year an ice rink. What next, a thunderstorm? Third place was City Market, with some basic food groups, not all of them organic.

Beaucoup thanks to the following for making the Seven Days float possible: Advance Music, Audio Solutions, Barbacoa, Ben Franklin, Stefan "Toolbelt" Bumbeck & all the Float Construction Technicians, Dave the Driver, Eric "Fogmaster" Durett, Eric "Lord of the Land" Farrell, Gregory Supply, Handy's Lunch, Hertz First Choice Rental, Kinko's, Red Square, Thrifty, the people who invented zip ties and kazoos, and the weather gods for a beautiful day!

Last but certainly not least, fat-angel thanks to Alan Newman, Stacey Steinmetz and Magic Hat Brewing Co.! Happy Lent. ® PH O TOS: MATTHEW T H O RSEN

S'WONDER Jazz vo calist Nnenna Freelon's current tour draws heavily on the sultry chanteuse's sense of Wonder — Stevie, th at is. On her most recent recording, the five­ tim e Grammy nominee gives a dozen of his songs the sort of personal treatm ent usually reserved for standards. In 10 years as a recording artist, she's developed a knack for unexpected interpretations. "Button Up Your Overcoat" gets a hip-hop beat, " If I Only F t e d - e K B r a i m s into a w istful ballad, and "Paper Moon" becomes an expression of spiritual faith. Freelon also has a knack for advocacy. Her Burlington v isit includes a free talk on "How Arts Education Changes Lives." Too bad it comes a f t e r Town Meeting Day.

N N EN N A F R E E L O N Talk: Thursday, March 6, 7 p.m, Free. Concert: Friday, March 7, 8 p.m. $23-26. Flynn Center, Burlington. Info, 863-5966.

can't take a walk in the woods without spotting white-tailed deer tracks. You know it's autumn in Churchill, Manitoba, when you can't leave a build­ ing without a shotgun escort. A brochure boasting the town's attractions calls it, "The realm of the lords of the north." The slogan was enough to inspire Seth Gibson to book a puddle-jumper head­ ing north out of Winnipeg. He wanted to witness "the lords" for himself.

Manitoba is vast, flat, white and cold — arctic tundra at its finest. Gibson's photographs captured the subtleties of the landscape well. Thanks to the indestructibility of the Tundra Buggy, an Orwellian tank with monster-truck tires, he was able to pho­ tograph some wildlife as well: snow bunting, arctic fox, ptarmigan and the largest land carnivore in North America: the polar bear.

The Hudson Bay begins to freeze off the coast of Churchill in early October. The polar bears know this pattern, and in their eagerness to spend another winter fattening up on ring and harp seals, they head straight for the ice. It just so happens that their migration route intersects with the only human settlement for miles.

Gibson knew he was not in Kansas anymore when he noticed the iron bars on the windows of his bunkroom. This is not to say the locals feel threatened by the presence of the 850-pound ani­ mals. Rather they are protective and proud of their seasonal neighbors. "The bears belong," Gibson assured us. "The hum ans are the intruders."

There are times, however, when the bears grow curious and need to be airlifted out of someone's back yard. After a second offense, they're darted with a friendly gun and brought to bear jail. For­ tunately, their sentence only lasts until the ice forms.

The audience cooed at a close-up shot of an immature male with paws the size of dinner plates.

Later, in a pamphlet entitled "Instructions for Meeting a Polar Bear," I read: "Polar bears are w ild life, regardless of how exotic or docile they may seem." If we met one up-close and personal, we'd all be goners for sure.

lectures

B (MINOR) IS FOR BACH Small is beautiful. Especially when the polished Swiss chorus Ensemble Corund performs the Mass in B Minor, often considered the best of Bach. Although modern audiences have grown accus­ tomed to large choruses and full orches­ tras, Bach himself rarely entrusted his own music to more than four of his best vocalists. While Ensemble Corund is larger than a quartet, it's unusually con­ centrated, as is the accompanying instrumentation. This scaled-down approach lets Baroque buffs pick out every stitch in the tapestry of contra­ puntal techniques woven into the mas­ terpiece. As the Ensemble's Web site explains, "What the performance might seem to lose in sheer mass is more than made up for in clarity of musical struc­ ture and intensity of sound."

INDIA INK

Also, see clubdates in Section A.

Amitav Ghosh brings the global vil­ lage to Burlington. One of India's most acclaimed authors in the English language, the versatile writer envisions societies in which diverse groups peacefully coexist — or try to. In his most recent novel, The Glass Palace, a Burmese woman watches approaching Japanese bombers at the start of World War I I .

What sort o f creature could think o f waging war upon herself her hus­ band, her child — a fam ily such as hers — fo r what reason? Who were these people who took it upon them­ selves to remake the history o f the world? UVM English professor Huck Gutman observes, "What Ghosh writes seems particularly pertinent today, when a massive U.S. bombing of * Baghdad is imminent."

WILLPOWER At Spectrum, where there's been a Will there's been a way. In the 13 years that Will Rowe directed the kid-focused, Burlington-based agency, it grew into the state's pre­ miere adolescent organization. As the 55-year-old former philosopher steps down, admirers pay tribute. "Working with Will was remarkable," says former Spectrum staffer Mitch Baron. Barbara Rachelson, another agency veteran, calls Rowe "a vision­ ary." But he's no self-promoter, suggests Representative Mark Larsen, who runs Spectrum's Domestic Abuse Education Project. "He's not a figurehead." Rowe, who hopes to find nonprofit work abroad, has hiked the length of the Long Trail solo.

Those are big shoes for his successor, Mark Redmond, to fill.

(ii) A request for approval of an exception, alternativeequivalent system or variance shall be granted to the owner by the Code Enforcement Office if the owner demon­ strates that the existing or proposed smoke detector sys­ tem complies with the applica­ ble provisions of the smoke detection protocols established by the Code Enforcement Office pursuant to Section 1825A of the Ordinances and subsection (q) of this Section 18-99.

Such protocols may adopt by reference the forms of equivalency found in Burlington's adopted fire and building codes and shall pro­ vide an equal or greater level of safety to that set forth by the requirements of section 18-99(a). The adoption of smoke detection protocols shall conform to the proce­ dures required in Section 1825A for the adoption of proto­ cols for exceptions, alterna­ tives, equivalent systems and variances from the strict provi­ sions of Chapter 18 (Housing) of these ordinances.

cols for the minimum housing code. (a) The Code Enforcement Office may adopt and there­ after administer health and safety protocols with respect to any provision of the Minimum Housing Code, pro­ vided such protocols establish substantially equivalent requirements for achieving health or safety as those stan­ dards contained in Division Three (Minimum Standards) of the Minimum Housing Code.

Such protocols are intended to provide owners with flexibility in meeting health and safety standards for housing while affording occupants substan­ tially the same protection as those contained in the Code.

Each protocol shall set forth one or more of the following means for achieving substan­ tial equivalency to the Code: an exception, an alternative, an equivalent system or a vari­ ance from the strict require­ ments of the Minimum Housing Code.* (b) Determination of whether protocols should be adopted for any particular sec­ tion of the Minimum Housing Code may be initiated by the Code Enforcement Office, or may be requested by the Mayor or the City Council or required by the adoption or amendment of an ordinance. In addition, the Code Enforcement Office shall consider the adoption of a protocol upon receipt of a request for the same by peti­ tion of any ten residents of Burlington who either own or rent property which is let to another for occupancy. If the Code Enforcement Office rejects such a petition, it shall specify the reasons for the rejection, including any tech­ nical reasons why the particu­ lar provision of the Code is not susceptible to equivalent stan­ dards for compliance and inform the petitioners of their recourse under the ordinance. (c) No protocol shall be adopted or subsequently amended pursuant to this sec­ tion without public notice of the proposed protocol and an opportunity for public com­ ment with respect to the pro­ posed protocol or any amendment thereof. All public com­ ments shall be considered by the Code Enforcement Office and a copy of the public com­ ments shall be available to the public at least 15 days prior to the time the protocols are adopted or amended, but noth­ ing herein is intended to imply that the Code Enforcement Office must adopt any or all public comments.

BY ROB BREZSNY M A R C H 06-1 2

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

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): “It was the biggest mistake I ever made, and yet it was the best thing that ever happened to me.” When we spoke yesterday, that’s how my Aries friend Ron referred to his relation­ ship with his ex-girlfriend. He got Involved with her for all the wrong reasons, he said, and they stayed together only because he held on so tightly to his delusions about her.

But in the painful months since they broke up, he has harvested a wealth of wisdom about himself. He feels that will serve him in good stead the next time he takes the leap into love.

“My time with Susan was equivalent to me getting my Ph.D. in relation­ ships,” he concluded. Though the details of Ron’s story may differ from yours, Aries, you’re ready to make a similar conclusion: One of your big booboos was actually a stroke of great fortune.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Once the full impact of Einstein’s theory of relativity became clear, an admiring journalist interviewed him about the process by which he’d arrived at the revolutionary break­ through. “How did you do it?” the journalist asked. “I ignored an axiom,” Einstein replied. Now let’s analyze that statement for your use, Taurus. Einstein didn’t say he’d ignored an opinion or theory, but rather an idea so well established that it was regarded as self-evident.

Furthermore, he didn’t say he rebelled or fought against the axiom: He simply acted as if it weren’t there.

I suggest you follow his example exactly in the coming week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re the zodiac’s most inventive talker, but it doesn’t always work to your advantage. Sometimes you sab­ otage your brilliant verbal forays by going on for so long that your listen­

ers tune you out. On other occa­ sions, you undermine your persua­ siveness by sounding too damn smart, thereby intimidating the very people you’re trying to convince. But I predict that none of this will be a problem for you in the coming days, Gemini. You’ll have a sixth sense about when to let your mouth slip into creative hyperdrive and when, on the other hand, to slow it down.

As a result, your ability to win friends and influence people will zoom to its highest levels in many moons.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): As I compose this horoscope, I’m sit­ ting in my car with the engine off during rush hour, stuck halfway across the Golden Gate Bridge between San Francisco and Marin County. Traffic came to a dead halt 40 minutes ago due to a big acci­ dent. My situation is an analogue of the predicament you find yourself in, Cancerian. Through no fault of your own, you’ve been stopped while crossing a metaphorical bridge.

Here’s my advice: As you wait for the obstruction to be cleared, don’t grind your teeth and curse. Instead, take advantage of the temporary interrup­ tion by doing something as useful as I am.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Last November a flower-arranger named Stacie wrote to tell me about her lat­ est creation. She’d walked into the dry autumn woods and gathered big purple thistles, gnarled berry vines, spiny horehound seedpods and numerous plants with burrs. After she assembled it all into a bouquet back home, she gave it a title, as if it were a sculpture. She called it “Ode to Prickly Things: My Beautiful Fear.” Though she hadn’t realized what she was doing, she had assem­ bled a perfect artistic expression of

the subtle dread she always carried with her. To see it embodied so visi­ bly had an effect comparable to an exorcism. From that day on, she felt much freer of her chronic anxiety. I suggest you take inspiration from her, Leo. Perform a ritual or make some art that gives you power over the thing you’re most afraid of.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Empty your mind of everything it thinks it knows about where you belong, Virgo. Once you’ve created a wide-open space, launch an inquiry into the nature of your true home.

Here are some questions to guide you. 1. What’s the first place you think of when you hear the word “sanctuary”? 2. What environments bring out the best in you? 3. Do you have what you might call power spots and, if so, what do they feel like? 4. What places on the planet captivate your imagination, even if you’ve never even been there? 5. Is it possible there may be a future home that’s a more meaningful version of home than the place where tradition comforts you?

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Chanteuse Billie Holiday believed a good singer should never sing a song the same way twice. All the tantric sex teachers say an artful lover never makes love the same way twice. The only Zen master I know — whose name I can’t tell you because she changes it every week, and I haven’t heard the latest one — likes to quote the ancient Greek philosopher, Heraclitus: “You cannot step into the same river twice, for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you.” These ideas are always useful to keep in mind, Libra. But during the next three weeks, they should be your constant meditation.

SCORPIO (Oct

23-Nov. 21): Writer Michael Tortorello has complained about the “national delight deficit.” My friend Lanny bemoans the public’s shrinking attention span for stories about joy­ ful events and satisfying break­ throughs. I myself have marveled at the pathological tendency of many educated people to equate cynicism with intelligence. It’s in the context of this stupefying collective addic­ tion to dank moods that I give you your assignment, Scorpio: You, more than any other sign of the zodiac, are now primed to harvest an abundance of pleasure, mirth and fun. Please don’t keep it all to yourself; try to infect everyone you meet.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Ocean floors are not flat and level. In some places, under­ water mountains rise to tremendous heights. Hawaii’s Mauna Kea is taller than Mt. Everest, for instance, though only its uppermost part pokes above the sea’s surface. Other submarine peaks, like the recently mapped Adantis Massif in the Adantic Ocean, are completely hid­ den beneath the waves. Let these be your metaphors of power in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. You’ll soon discover and explore your own mysterious equivalent of underwater mountains.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): If you’re a Capricorn jour­ nalist, this is the week you could get a Pulitzer Prize-winning scoop from a drunken slaughterhouse worker about a likely E. coli outbreak. If you’re a Capricorn parent, you’ll have a lightning bolt of insight into the destiny of your child, forever changing the way you guide him or her. If you’re a Capricorn songwriter, I bet you’ll channel a melody or lyrics that will become one of your

signature songs. And if you’re any other kind of Capricorn, you’ll be the beneficiary of a rich revelation that will be as Valuable to you as a huge windfall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Id” is a psychoanalytic term. It refers to the part of your mind that harbors your instinctual needs and drives. On the one hand, your id is the source of tremendous amounts of psychic energy. On the other hand, it’s almost totally unconscious, h Think about it, Aquarius: The pri­ mal, dynamic core of your life force is mostly invisible and unknown to you. For most people, this is a good thing. It would be painful and scary to be fully aware of the id. In the coming week, however, you will ben­ efit from being in conscious contact with this high voltage potential. I suggest you begin immediately.

Mindful that your id is like a smart but wild animal, invite it to show itself.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Astrology asserts that we humans are puppets of cosmic forces that are beyond our power to affect, right?

Wrong. In fact, the opposite is the case: Studying the nature of arche­ typal energies helps us direct them in constructive ways. In her book, M aking the Gods Work for You,

astrologer Caroline Casey articulates this view, suggesting that with ( enough ingenuity we can actually get divine powers to be our collabora­ tors. Here’s another way to say it: Ask not what your planets are doing to you, but what you can do with your planets. I bring this up, Pisces, >f

because you’ve never been in a better position to persuade the cosmic forces to serve your free will. ® ,

LO LA the love counselor Dear Lola, I have a problem. When I masturbate, I scream out obsceni­ ties. The foul things that come out of my mouth do not repre­ sent my true feelings about my lover, or my conception of what love or sex is, but I cannot ejaculate by myself without these utterances. I'm afraid that if I ever get caught in the act, my lover will think I'm a freak. What should I do?

Foul-Mouthed Flayer in Ferrisburgh Dear Foul, How you pursue your personal hobbies is nobody's business but your own — especially when it comes to how you use your mouth in your solo-erotic adventures. If you're worried about your lover discovering your libido-driven linguistic lean­ ings, why not just come clean now? You may well be surprised by your partner's capacity for understanding. And getting this secret out in the open will undoubtedly help you relax and add to your solitary sensual pleasures.
