VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATION

SEEING RED I have to express my outrage at the Red Square ad in your March 10 issue. This tasteless ad. is an affront to women and an embarrassment to men everywhere.

This ad (and some others in the past) casts a very negative pall over the ads of my restaurants that share the page. I need your help; please take action that will avoid this distasteful situation from hap­ pening again.

Robert M. Fuller LINCOLN

OFFENSIVE AD The ad for Red Square on page 7A of [the March 10 issue] hits a new low — even for your publication. I call on all women everywhere who have even the most casual or acci­ dental contact with your publica­ tion to do the following: to vow to never again touch, read, or even glance at your publication; to vow to boycott Red Square; to boycott all other advertisers contributing to the exploitation of women through their funding your publication; to band together to force the respect­ ful portrayal of women in all media.

What were you thinking? Better yet, with what were you thinking when you accepted that ad? It is one thing to be an alternative paper and quite another to be freebie porn.

Sandy Albright JEFFERSONVILLE

FOR SHAME I am extremely upset that SevenDays would accept an ad from Red

Square that appeared in the March 10 issue. Although Seven Days has been “on the edge” many times, this time you have definitely gone over it.

The ad was so insulting to women that I find it hard to put words to my disgust. Two women publishers should feel remorse at the ad that portrays women as “a hole in the wall.”

Please, no more of this type of ad, from Red Square or any other advertiser. Red Square will most certainly not be having any business from me or my friends.

Alverta Perkins

Strong center-left candidates and positions can, and will, make a united Democratic party the domi­ nant political power in Vermont.

Mr. Mahoney has it right.

Unfortunately, too many short­ sighted Democrats seem to prefer a faux-Democrat in the governor’s seat to what is right. Only support of true Democrats will grow party influence in the Vermont body politic. It is not too late to reclaim this base, if party leaders develop the necessary backbone.

another perspective. He was able to put party lines aside and exercise solid judgment to decide which candidate to support. After all, a party label is just a party label.

What really matters is how the can­ didate performs for his or her con­ stituents. Knowing Phil Fiermonte’s track record for the people of Ward 3 , the mayor could not, with good conscience, support his party’s can­ didate over the Progressive. Isn’t that what we would like to see more of in politicians — people who do and say the right thing because it’s the right thing to do and not because their party wants them to?

As for Mayor Clavelle, he went up 10 notches in my book for dar­ ing to support the better candidate regardless of political affiliation.

Maybe he has the makings of a good governor, after all.

MARRIAGE FOR ALL The latest city to join those that recognize the right of same-sex cou­ ples to marry is Asbury Park, New Jersey [“Do the Rite Thing?”

March 17]. I applaud their just decision, and hope other cities will soon follow suit.

O ur President decries the

notion that same-sex couples should be able to marry, and points an accusing finger at “activist judges.” The civil courts have always had the duty to defend justice, and to act to right civil wrongs when issues are pre­ sented to them for adjudication.

W hat could be more unjust than to deny marriage to same-sex couples?

We have had four years of expe­ rience with civil unions — “marriage-lite” — here in Vermont. The sky hasn’t fallen, so-called tradition­ al marriage has suffered no illeffects. But, civil unions do not go far enough. Over 1500 rights and

privileges have been identified that accrue to married couples; these rights and privileges do not apply to couples in civil unions. Just one example: if a married persons spouse should die, he or she would be entitled to collect Social Security based on the deceased partners wages; not so with civil unions.

How would you feel knowing your spouse would not have the safety net of Social Security should you die? And this, after working and contributing to the system your whole life!

Marriage for same-sex couples is about justice for all. I eagerly await the day when our state will recog­ nize that gays and lesbians are not second-class citizens.

PROGRESSIVE MIDWEST I enjoyed your websites article on the new radio program by Thom Hartmann [“Radio Activist,” March 3], and look forward to hearing it some day. But as a pro­ gressive and former Midwesterner I must take issue with this comment: “Considering Hartmann’s conserva­ tive, Midwestern upbringing, it’s ironic that he would eventually become an advocate for the rapid return to liberal values.”

I’ve spent considerable time in the M idw est. . . I’ve noticed how

folks in the East sometimes repeat a rather tired canard about “conserva­ tive Midwesterners . . .

I spent 12 years in Madison, Wisconsin (home of the Progressive magazine). While that city is admittedly not typical of all Midwestern cities . . . the upper Midwest has a healthy progressive history . . . Some past and present examples come to mind: the DFL party of Minnesota . . . the legacy of Paul Wellstone, the lone courage of Russ Feingold opposing the Patriot Act, the populism of North Dakota farmers, staunch Vietnam War opponents such as George McGovern and Gene McCarthy, the civil-rights advocate Hubert Humphrey, Winona LaDuke (Nader’s running mate) and so on.

I’m now in Billings, Montana, which is at first look rather conser­ vative, but I’ve met some wonder­ ful Progressives here as well. Slowly and painfully I’ve come to believe there are “pockets” everywhere.

More important that we somehow keep the courage to keep on keep­ ing on wherever we end up.

Yesterday I met a Canadian who moved to Billings a while back and she is quiedy doing what she can to change the culture in the U.S. — now that’s courageous “mission” work!

n 1975, Howard Dean was in medical school in the South Bronx. Gary Dahl was in California trying to make a go of it in advertising. One evening, over a few cock­ tails with his pals, he came up with the idea for marketing the perfect pet — a Pet Rock.

At $3.95, Dahl’s rocks made great stock­ ing stuffers. They also made Gary Dahl a millionaire, and a forgotten one at that, despite all the national press and appear­ ances on “The Tonight Show.” It was a one-year phenomenon for Mr. Dahl.

Howard Dean’s shooting-star candidacy for president of the United States is all behind him now. The horde of TV cameras and reporters, too. And his current political challenge is to prevent himself from becom­ ing the Pet Rock of 2003.

To that end, Ho-Ho is protecting the privacy of his Internet mailing list while attempting to m orf “Dean for America” into “Democracy for America.” The list, said Dean, “will not be sold, rented nor lent to anybody.” He obviously intends to make as much as he can out of his star sta­ tus while it lasts.

Just having Ho-Ho on the speaker’s list turned last Friday’s Democratic Party fundraiser into an o^rflow affair. Biggest Democrat fundraiserin memory.

Before the dinner, Dean met with the local press at his enormously empty cam­ paign headquarters in South Burlington.

Ho-Ho was a bit testy — perfectly under­ standable after the media gauntlet he’s had to run through. He even suggested that if yours truly ever decided to leave Vermont, The New York Post would be a perfect land­ ing spot.

It was a little like the old days. Dean also got snippy over WCAX reporter Kristin Carlson’s non-threatening ques­ tions. One exchange went like this: Carlson: Gov. Dean, can you stay rele­ vant? When you were in Seattle during the campaign, 10,000 people came to hear you.

This week, 500 people came out.

Ho-Ho: “It was cold. Next?”

Kristin: “I don’t think you answered my question, Governor.”

Ho-Ho: “T hat’s right. I didn’t.”

The one question on our minds was how does Dr. Pet Rock explain the phe­ nomenon Vermonters witnessed in 2003?'

Overnight we all witnessed Ho-Ho change from a soft-spoken passionate centrist into the nation’s leading Progressive voice.

Dean first reminded us of the attention he got back in 1994 for accusing House Speaker Newt Gingrich of “smoking opium in the speaker’s office.”

And he explained the difference between the roles o f presidential candidate and gov­ ernor.

“Putting something into action and managing it is a lot different than going out and campaigning on it,” said Dean. “It requires different skills.”

And an ability to scream in public, eh?

As for suddenly appearing to sound like the echo of Rep. Bernie Sanders, Dean said he didn’t “think it’s a big leap for a centrist Democrat in Vermont to become a Progressive by American Democratic Party standards. W hen we started the race, the Democratic Party had essentially abdicated the role it had taken on since Franklin Roosevelt, which was to stand up for peo­

e

ple who needed the protections working people and middle class people needed in a capitalist society.”

Still, close your eyes and it sure sounds like Bernie, eh?

Ho-Ho made a big splash at Friday’s dinner. Loose as a goose, he had the crowd rolling in their seats. And he also unleashed a passionate endorsement of Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle for governor.

You might recall that in 2002, Dean didn’t get around to endorsing Doug Racine for governor until late October.

Interesting.

Landslide Jim? — It’s fair to say that Statehouse regulars and veteran journalists agree Jim Douglas will be easily reelected in November.

The common refrain heard during our unscientific research is, “Jim Douglas is so likable. He hasn’t pissed anyone off.”

But when pressed on what percentage of the vote Douglas will get against Peter Clavelle, the estimates are surprisingly low — in the 52-55 percent range.

Remember that in 2002’s three-way affair, Likable Jim won with just 44.9 per­ cent of the votes cast. That may explain Douglas’ heavier-than-Dean travel schedule around the state.

“At first,” said Mayor Clavelle, “people were saying it’s nice to have the governor in town. But now they’re saying, ‘Doesn’t he have something better to do?’ He’ll show at the ribbon-cutting for affordable housing projects, but does his budget reflect a com­ mitment to affordable housing?”

Interesting to note that G OP state chair Jim Barnett is already dishing out regular attack press releases trashing Clavelle. It’s the same role Mad Dog played in the 2002 Douglas campaign, only now the state party rather than the Douglas campaign pays for his services.

Cool.

“I could see this coming,” said Mayor Moonie. “Throughout this campaign, they’re going to attempt to paint me as the big taxer and spender, living on the politi­ cal fringe.”

Addressing Mad Dog Barnett by name, Clavelle said, “It’s not going to wash, Jim, because I’ve got 14 years as mayor and seven years before that working in the trenches of economic development in this city. This bull about being the big spender and anti-business doesn’t wash.”

Yours truly disagrees with my fellow pundits on this one. W ith expected record turnout in November, Douglas vs. Clavelle is a toss-up. And we bet Jim Douglas knows it.

Ticketgate Update — Looks like a few Montpeculiar pols have been scrambling for their checkbooks since the news hit last week about the complimentary b-ball tick­ ets for Vermont VIPs. But one VIP, David Awbrey, stood apart. T hat’s because Dave is not a politi­ cian. He’s the editorial page editor of The Burlington Free Press. * In the Freeps’ story, Awbrey said he had been “naive” in accepting the two centercourt ducats.

Curses, Foiled Again Forty-four years after Eddie Mayes escaped from a prison work detail in Georgia, he visited his son at a prison in Avon Park, Florida, and wrote his real name on a visitors log.

A routine check of the names on the list identified Mayes, now 67, as a fugitive, and he was arrested.

• Authorities in Pinellas County, Florida, charged William Ray Hunter, 41, with defrauding at least 19 out-of-staters out of more than $33,330 by advertising his mobile home on the Internet as available from January through March and collect­ ing deposits ranging from $500 to $3000. When the snowbirds started arriving, they found Hunter still living in

suggestion and called off the ceremony.

Police intervened after the situation dete­ riorated into a melee and took both bride and groom into custody. Police said the groom complained he was short of money because he had paid around $150 as a dowry, a large amount by Ethiopian standards.

Terrorists Are Everywhere While discussing the federal “No Child Left Behind” education law with gover­ nors at the White House, Education Secretary Rod Paige labeled the 2.7 mil­ lion-member National Education Association a “terrorist organization.”

chose the wrong words to describe “the obstructionist scare tactics” of NEA lob­ byists. The day after Paige’s remarks, Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, the chair­ man of American International Group Inc., the world’s largest insurer, declared that lawyers who oppose tort reform are “terrorists.” He accused plaintiffs’ lawyers of venue shopping in hopes of winning big awards from sympathetic juries or judges, insisting, “You know you’re going to get raped... when you appear there.”

bride and groom spent their wedding night in a police cell after their argument triggered a brawl among outraged rela­ tives, police said.

The bride became furious at the

Fete Worse Than Death Seven people were killed and more than 100 injured during an annual kite-flying festi­ val in Pakistan to mark the arrival of spring. Noting that participants often use wire instead of string, often with sharp objects attached to attack other kites, offi­ cials reported that a stray kite cut the

Bob Hart said, indicating that con artists pulling such scams usually think them through better. “Most people have a plan.

Three people were electrocuted when their kite wires touched power lines. Two kite fliers died falling from roofs. A 12-yearold boy died while trying to catch a stray kite on a main road when a car hit him.

Setting-an Example Hours after New Mexico lawmaker Joe Thompson, 37, the House minority whip, attended a bill-signing ceremony to highlight the state’s latest effort to crack down on drunk drivers, he was charged with drunken driving. Police said he registered a 0.12 and 0.11 on breath-alcohol tests, above the legal limit of 0.08.

• Wisconsin’s attorney general, Peg Lautenschlager, was cited for drunken driving after she steered her state-owned car off the road and into a ditch. Sheriff’s officials said that a preliminary breath test put her blood-alcohol level at 0.12 percent, above the legal limit of 0.08 per­ cent. She refused to take a blood test, but kept her driver’s license after agreeing to pay a $3250 penalty.

implants available, then skipped out on the $9500 plastic surgery bill.

“Unfortunately, this kind of fraud isn’t that unusual,” plastic surgeon Jamal Salhi told the newspaper Corriere della Sera after his patient walked out of the private hospital in Rome a day after the twohour operation, which doubled her bust size. The paper reported that investigators have few leads because the woman used a false name, but they are relying on a pho­ tograph and her unusually large bra size to find her.

Not-So-Great Escapes while prosecutors in Miami, Florida, argued that recently convicted Raymond Jessi Snyder, 38, should be taken into custody, Snyder began moving slowly toward the exit, then bolted. He was quickly appre­ hended and returned to the court, where Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Daryl Trawick ordered him taken into immedi­ ate custody. “The state’s prophetic posi­ tion was that he was a flight risk,” state attorney’s office representative Ed Griffith said. “That turned out to be true.”

Sweden are having less sex with children, officials reported, but they’re having more sex with animals — and filming it, too.

“We have seen an increase since 1999, when child pornography became illegal,” said Johan Beck-Friis, spokesman for Svenska Veterinarforbundet, the nation’s top veterinary agency, pointing out that every year, between 200 and 300 pets are injured because of sexual assaults. “It appears, in other words, as there are some people who have replaced children with animals.” Bestiality was decriminalized in Sweden in 1944. ®

Shades of Gray he apparent suicide o f monologist Spalding Gray was a wrenching loss.

According to A liso n Granucci, a friend o f Gray and a former Burlingtonian, the loss is made more poignant by the fact that in his final performances — a workin-progress presentation o f Life, Interrupted at New York’s P.S. 122 last December, not long before he disap­ peared — Gray was beginning to reveal a side o f him self that had never been seen on stage.

“It was so tender and raw and a little tentative,” Granucci says o f the m ono­ logue, which dealt w ith the aftermath o f the devastating 2001 auto accident that left Gray with a broken hip, a leg brace and possible brain damage. “It was Spalding talking, it wasn’t Spalding play­ ing Spalding talking.”

Granucci, a dancer and massage thera­ pist when she lived in Vermont, knows first-hand about the after-effects o f trau­ ma. She was a victim o f one o f the most notorious crimes in Burlington history: In 1990 a drifter robbed her C hurch Street office, then shot her and a friend execytion-style through the head.

Granucci met Gray through the Flynn Center, which hired her to be his masseuse in 1996 when he was perform ­ ing It’s A Slippery Slope. She continued as his massage therapist, traveling to New York from Burlington to work with him before performances.

He also encouraged her to continue writing about surviving the attack, although the resulting book, Shot Into Life, has yet to find a publisher. “He relat­ ed to my experience even before his acci­ den t,” Granucci says. Afterwards, she helped him w ith physical therapy and vis­ ited him in the hospital. “He was the only person I’d ever seen other than myself with a shaved head and his scalp stapled shut.”

Gray was always able to translate even the most miserable experiences in his life into art. Why, this time, was he unable to find that kind o f refuge?

“In this last m onologue about the acci­ dent, you could see him really working to have it make sense,” Granucci says.

Following the Decem ber performance, she went out with Gray and friends.

“Someone said som ething about fate. He grabbed onto that and said he was now living his fate out, and there was basically no h o p e... H e was trapped in som ething he couldn’t find his way out of.”

Granucci now manages special projects for the Om ega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, for which she’s co-producing (with Eve E nsler) a mega-conference about w om en and power the weekend o f Sept. 11 in New York City. She also works for Arlo G uthrie, whose Great Barrington, M assachusetts foundation and arts center is housed in the church made famous in “Alice’s R estaurant.”

For Granucci, Gray will always remain a role model. “H e w ould say out loud things people w ould never dare adm it. I really adm ired him for th at.”

BOWING OUT In the seven years he’s been in Vermont, Tim Tavcar has been piling up the credits: directing for Vermont Opera Theater, conducting the Vermont Gay M en’s Chorus, running the Vergennes Opera House. T he actor-direc­ tor-singer-conductor won a Bessie for his first local directing gig, Lost N ation’s Side

by Side by Sondheim.

W hy so busy? “W hen you’re a solitary gay man alone in Vermont, you have to do something or you’ll open a vein,” he suggests.

Now Tavcar’s saying goodbye to all that: on April 1 he starts a new job as executive director o f theater and music at Astor’s Beechwood M ansion in Newport, Rhode Island. H e’ll be leading the m an­ sion’s resident acting company in histori­ cal re-enactments and period-theater pieces. He may also land on TV; the com pany is being filmed this summer for a “Victorian reality show” on Rhode Island’s PBS affiliate.

At 56, Tavcar’s hoping this will be his last major move. “For the first time I don’t have to do four or five jobs. I can do one and be paid better.”

As a parting shot, he’s hosting a Farewell-to-Tim concert next Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at M ontpelier’s Unitarian Church, starring performers from “some o f the organizations that have m eant the most to me since I’ve been here.” Could be a long night.

MATTESON AVENUE Chalk up another success for hot young dancerchoreographer Paul M atteson and the Dance Com pany o f Middlebury, his alma mater. Beating out more than 30 other school ensembles, the Midds, performing M atteson’s “As You Are,” were chosen to represent the New England region (along with Harvard and Temple) at the National College Dance Festival at W ashington’s Kennedy Center June 1-3. Vermont dance fans who haven’t yet seen M atteson’s work should move on down to the FlynnSpace on April 2; he’s showing the same set of dances he presented at M iddlebury earlier this year, including an astonishing roughand-tum ble duet, \Bullseye\ 'B I G ' N E W S This just in from the New York Post. Ron G alotti, the former C onde Nast publishing mogul who was the inspiration for Mr. Big in Sex and the City, has up and moved to Vermont.

Pomfret, to be exact. Can Carrie Bradshaw be far behind? . . . Meanwhile, New York C ity has noticed Firehouse expat Pascal S p en gem an n . Last week’s Sunday Times reported “a who’s who o f the New York art world turned up” for a recent opening at his new, tiny gallery, Taxter & Spengemann, despite com peti­ tion from the W hitney Biennial and A rm ory shows. Co-owner K elly Taxter said one collector offered to buy the whole show. ® Email David at Davwar@ aol.com

BY PETER KURTH

A L L T H E N E W S T H A T G IV E S U S FITS

To Mel and B a ck ack up, America! Rewind that film! Your columnist has some flip-flopping to do.

You heard me — I’m a flip-flopper.

Despite all you’ve been told by the W hite House, the major media, Ann Coulter and the Ouija board, it takes a big man to flipflop and I’m going to be the first one on the block to do it.

I prefer the term “flip-flop” to “waffle,” because “waffling” makes it sound like I haven’t made up my mind, and I have. I’m flip-flopping absolutely. I’m turning 180 degrees. I’m going the whole nine yards, even though no one has yet figured out what those nine yards refer to. You can look it up.

W hat I’m flip-flop­ ping about is Mel Gibson. Yes, Mel Gibson, a man I wrote off two weeks ago in this column as “a shameless and repulsive movie star.”

He may still be a shameless and repul­ sive movie star, but from now on he’s got my vote. Why? Because Mel Gibson has “doubts” about George W. Bush.

T hat’s right — Mel Gibson has doubts about Bush. To be exact, he’s had doubts “of late” about Bush and his filthy war in Iraq.

“It’s all to do with these weapons of mass destruction that we can’t seem to find, and why did we go over there?” says Mel, sounding confused. Never mind: Anyone who has doubts about Bush is a hero to me. T hat’s a promise, and I won’t be flip-flopping on it.

W hat I’m not flip-flopping on is Mel’s Bible movie, whose name will never pass my lips again — not after the hate mail I’ve received since I first brought it up. I had no idea that Christian fanatics used words like that, but there you have it — it’s like 12-year-old boys. If people knew how disgusting they’d turn out to be, they’d drown them at birth. O r maybe you missed the story about the Smelly Sneaker Contest in Montpelier on St. Patrick’s Day? You can look that up, too.

It’s easier for me to flip-flop about Mel Gibson now that Americans, in a major flip-flop, have knocked the Movie Whose Name Will Never Pass My Lips Again from its number-one position and replaced it with a remake o f Dawn o f the Dead. As a Reuters headline put it on Sunday, “Zombies Push Jesus From Top o f N orth American Box Office.”

I knew they would if I waited long enough. Flip-flopping isn’t as hard as you think; all kinds o f people are doing it. Last week, voters in Spain flip-flopped them­ selves from “allies” to “appeasers.” The president of Poland flip-flopped by saying that the Bush administration “deceived” him about those weapons o f mass destruc­ tion — “we were taken for a ride!” Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and Honduras are ready to flip-flop any minute, leaving only 28 flavors — excuse me — partners

That's right — Mel Gibson has doubts about Bush. To be exact, he's had doubts "o f late" about Bush and his filthy war in Iraq.

in the Coalition of the Willing. Can it be long before Tony Blair gets flip-flopped out of a job?

If you’re worried that Mel Gibson has flip-flopped into a weak, whining, waffling weenie of the Satanic Liberal Left — don’t.

According to reports, Mel’s “next foray into the weighty world of religious film-mak­ ing” will be about Hanukkah.

“The story that’s always fired my imagi­ nation is the Book of Maccabees,” Mel said last week in an interview with Sean Hannity, the right-wing pundit and idiot du jour whose new book, Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism, in that order, is number one on The New York Times Bestseller List, right ahead of Mel’s own Book o f the Movie — that is, the Movie Whose Name Will Never Pass My Lips Again.

According to the website Comingsoon. com — no, it’s not about the Rapture — the Maccabees were “Jewish guerilla fight­ ers who led a successful rebellion against Greek conquerors 165 years before Christ.”

According to Mel, “The Maccabee family stood up, and they made war, they stuck by their guns, and they came out winning.

It’s like a Western.” And according to a lot of newspapers, all copying from the same press release, Mel’s taking flak already “from some quarters of the Jewish church.”

“My answer would be, ‘Thanks but no thanks,”’ says Abe Foxman, executive direc­ tor of the Anti-Defamation League.

Foxman knows a church when he sees one: “The last thing we need is to convert Jewish history into a Western. I would pre­ fer to leave [it] to Steven Spielberg.” He may have to flip-flop on that, because, what with the ticket sales, the Book o f the Movie, the soundtrack, pay-TV, video, DVD and that bestselling line of “Passion Nail” pendants, Mel Gibson stands to make something like $700 million on the Movie Whose Name — you know the rest.

T hat’s a lot of nails, as they say in Hollywood. And if they aren’t saying it now they will be soon, because every single person who had a chance to be a part of Mel’s movie and turned it down, from the highest studio head to the lowest bodywaxer, has been flip-flopping like crazy to feed at Mel’s trough. Right now, Mel Gibson could say that the world is bal­ anced on the back of a giant turtle and half the population would flip-flop itself into believing it.

Meantime, science says there’s a 67 per­ cent chance that God exists. If you know your Darwin, that’s a flip-flop, too.

According to a new book, The Probability o f God, The Almighty’s existence can be demonstrated by Bayes’ Theorem, which starts with the “prior probability” o f a theo­ ry or hypothesis and, “by balancing the various factors that could affect a situa­ tion,” comes up with a “posterior probabil­ ity” that’s it’s true or false. Either way, its a long ticket line.

Flip-flop — signing out. ®

Z)e<zr Cecil, I have heard for years that it is illegal to attem pt suicide, but do such suicide laws really exist? I f so, where and why?

Obviously those who are successful in their attempts are beyond the reach o f the law, and it seems awfully mean to add to the woes o f those who have failed by bringing them up on charges.

More seriously, wouldn’t such a law discourage someone who had attem pted suicide from seeking professional help? I f such laws do exist, are they ever enforced? Do people go to ja il for attem pted suicide?

T h e Christian o p p osition to suicide hardened starting w ith 5th-century theologian A ugustine o f H ip p o , w ho argued that offing you rself is never justifiable because it v io­ lates G o d ’s injunction “thou shalt n o t kill.” Suicides were deem ed to have co m m itted a m ortal sin and denied C hristian burial. C hurch law influenced civil law, and by the 10th century suicide in England was considered not just a crim e but a felony. English co m m o n law distinguished a suicide, w h o was by d efinition o f un sou n d m ind , from a

felo-de-se or “evildoer against h im self,” w h o had coolly decided to end it all and thereby perpetrated an infam ous crim e. Such a person forfeited his entire estate to the crown.

Furthermore his corpse was subjected to public indignities, such as being dragged through the streets and hu n g from the gallows, and was finally con sign ed to “ign om in iou s bur­ ial,” as the legal scholars put it — the favored m eth od was beneath a crossroads w ith a stake driven through the body.

Anyone who’s ever tried to sleep on a traditional convertible sofa knows - it’s almost impossible to get a decent night’s rest on a cold metal frame and thin mattress. Now those days are over.

Futon sofa-sleepers convert easily from sofa to bed, and have no complicated mechanisms that poke and squeak all night long. And a luxurious Gold Bond futon mattress provides real comfort you won’t find anywhere else. They’re made form ultra-thick layers of pure-blended cotton hatting that provide firm, natural support for a great night’s sleep.

As we pointed out here last week, most newspapers have ethi­ cal guidelines that prohibit jour­ nalists from accepting free gifts from people and institutions they cover.

We asked Freeps Executive Editor Mike Townsend this week if accepting free tickets is also prohibited by Gannett s Code of Ethics. (A copy is posted on the Freeps’ website.)

“Let me put it this way,” replied Mr. Townsend, “I wouldn’t have done it.”

Pressed on whether the Gannett ethics code specifically bans gifts like Awbrey’s tickets, Townsend described the ethics code as a list of “guidelines.” He pointed to one guideline under the heading “Maintaining Independence” that states reporters should keep an “armslength relationship” with the peo­ ple and institutions they write about.

“Clearly, as a general rule,” said Townsend. “You’re not supposed to accept gifts.”

Asked if any disciplinary action will be taken against the editorial page editor, Townsend said such internal matters are generally not made public.

“It’s between me and him ,” said the executive editor.

Funny, but Mr. Awbrey sees things differently.

“It’s not in the Gannett ethics code,” Awbrey insisted in a Seven Daysinterview. “There’s nothing referring to his on this,” e. two tick rey’s right, Technf codes, 1? pecifically say Gannett s from the folks “don’t accept \ you cove In fact^pannett’s code of ethics reads like a Boy Scout handbook. It’s very broad-brush and overloaded with platitudes like, “We will obey the law” and “We will always try to do the right thing.”

Right for whom?

Awbrey, 55, a career journalist, recounted his earlier days back in 1977 as an AP reporter covering the Pennsylvania legislature. He vividly remembered the December day he strolled into the state capi­ tal press room and witnessed reporters carrying out cases of liquor. The tradition in Pennsylvania, he said, was to dis­ tribute the year’s haul of seized booze to Statehouse pols and press just before Christmas.

Nice tradition, eh?

Later as a Kansas journalist, Awbrey said he recalled sitting next to the chancellor of the university at a couple games. No big deal.

The current little tempest over his free UVM tickets, said Awbrey, “is all about appearance.

The rule today is: if it appears to be wrong, it’s wrong.”

Awbrey told Seven Days this w£fek t h |t he’s “paid the price” for breaking that rule. As Naive Dave underestimate your ow& stupidity..! live in one of the bigger glass houses around.”

Poor guy. He’s starting to sound like a Ticketgate victim.

P.S. For many locals, the expression “Gannett ethics” is an oxymoron. Last week we men­ tioned that 10 years ago Freeps reporter Paul Teetor got in trou­ ble for using his press ID to gain free admission to a UVM basket-

ball game. It was one of the inci­ dents cited by management when he was fired.

But Teetor sued. And we’ll never forget the day Freeps Assistant Managing Editor Juli Metzger admitted under crossexamination she had repeatedly lied in her sworn deposition. The lies bolstered the paper’s case. She toed the company line.

As a result of Metzger’s stun­ ning admission on the stand, Gannett’s lawyer quickly upped his offer to Mr. Teetor and the case was settled out of court with a six-figure payoff to the fired reporter.

Gannett just as quickly reward­ ed Metzger for lying under oath with a promotion to the manag­ ing-editor position at one of its Ohio papers. In 2000, the year Gannett came out with its “Code of Ethics,” Metzger was named Gannett’s “Editor of the Year.”

The company cited her leader­ ship on a year-long feature project, entitled “Moment of Truth,” at the chain’s Marion, Ohio, paper.

That’s right: Lying journalist wins award for truth series!

You can’t make this stuff up.

Kidney Politics — Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted criminal, may be anywhere. But it’s certain he’s not hiding out in the woods of Vermont’s Orleans County. T hat’s because Osama requires regular kidney dialysis to survive. He’d never tolerate the four-hour round-trip drives to Burlington four times a week to undergo four hours of blood cleaning.

The Orleans County locals are seeking about $500,000 from the legislature to help get a nine-bed dialysis unit built. Ron Holland M.D., an emergency room physi­ cian at North Country Hospital, is leading the charge. But it does­ n’t look to be a priority for the Republican-controlled House.

That’s surprising given the area’s strong Republican represen­ tation in the House. Four years ago, in the civil-unions backlash election of 2000 , the area sent a vaunted “Six Pack” to the Statehouse to save Vermont from Sodom and Gomorrah.

But the homosexual hordes never came, and civil unions have proven to be both a good step for the state of Vermont and a shin­ ing example for the nation. Let freedom ring!

Five “Sex Packers” survived the 2002 election: Reps. Nancy Sheltra, Duncan Kilmartin, John Hall, David Bolduc and Loren Shaw.

At its essence, Statehouse poli­ tics is about bringing home the bacon. There’s been a lot of chat­ ter in the building lately about the apparent ineptness of the God Squad to do that for the kidney patients back home.

Interesting.

Vermont Connection — The newest and hottest public-policy institute on Capitol Hill is called the Center for American Progress.

Former Clinton chief-of-staff (an ex-Patrick Leahy aide) John Podesta is the front guy.

But the Center’s punch comes from its sizzling website — www.americanprogress.org — with its daily dose of inside Washington info that leaves one wondering, “W hy didn’t the Washington Post or CBS News get

that first?” The Centers stories provide all the facts — and we mean all the facts — including internal docu­ ments available for downloading.

Leading the Center’s pack of investigative journalists is David Sirota, former press secretary for Rep. Bernie Sanders.

Small world, eh?

On Monday, Sirota & Co. shredded public pronouncements on counter-terrorism from the likes of National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice and Attorney General John Ashcroft.

The documentation’s all there with the links and sources to back it up, from Rice’s lies about never imagining that hijacked planes could be used as terrorist weapons, to Ashcroft’s pre-9/11 realignment of the Justice Department.

His predecessor Janet Reno had made counter-terrorism her number-one priority. Ashcroft, however, switched course. He wanted to turn the Justice Department into a kind of Gestapo-like domestic police force. Illegal drugs, rather than terrorism, was on his most-wanted list on September 10, 2001.

So when you hear Dubya bray­ ing about his commitment to fight terrorism, folks, don’t forget it’s a tune that’s only recently been added to his repertoire.

Grassroots H eroine— Quite the big Vermont Democratic Party love fest in Burlap Friday night.

The Wyndham Hotel ballroom was packed so tight, they had to set up tables in the hallway for the overflow.

Np doutjt, Verrpont’s I^et Rock, Howard Dean, was the big draw.

But the second biggest was Margaret Lucenti, a recipient of the David Curtis Award.

Margaret, 82-years-young, works at the Statehouse as clerk for the Senate Judiciary Committee. She’s an inspiration to all who know her. That explains why two Republican senators attended Friday’s Democratic bash, too.

Sens. Vince IUuzzi and Bill Doyle were there for Margaret.

Lucenti actually gave the best speech of the evening. Her institu­ tional memory of Democratic pol­ itics goes way back to the days before Howard Dean moved here.

She spoke of her Irish immi­ grant grandma who worked in the mills. Margaret’s parents worked in a shoe factory and were Democratic Party activists. “They fought for a minimum wage instead of piecework. There was no overtime, or paid vacation, no health care and very unsafe work­ ing conditions.”

Margaret remembered the Depression firsthand, and the upheaval in the 1960s and the war in Vietnam.

“It’s sounds like dejit vu all over again with the War in Iraq,” Margaret told the audience.

“Some people have said over the years that I was on the fringe,” said Great Grandma Lucenti.

“Maybe that makes me more of a Progressive, but the Democratic Party is the party that represents my ideals.”

Howard Dean’s ideals, too. Ah, it’s great to see the children of mill workers and the children of mill owners together at last! (Z) Email Peter at InsideTrackVT <©aol.com

ancer isn’t just a virulent growth that afflicts the hum an body — it’s also a dangerous weapon that can infect the body politic. Mere m ention o f the word “cancer” in a headline can be S TORY enough to blacklist a geographic KEN region or bankrupt a company. So P IC A R D when an independent group o f scien­ tists from New York claimed recently I MAGE that there may be a link between ele­ MARGO vated cancer rates in W indham S M I T H W I C K C ounty and the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon, the contention further inflamed an already incendiary issue. T he question is, are those allegations a legitimate public-health concern — or agendadriven pseudo-science?

Either way, the organization that compiled these statistics, the Brooklyn-based Radiation and Public Health Project (R PH P), has attracted enough media attention and financial support over the years to warrant seri­ ous attention. R PH P has published num erous books and journal articles, was profiled a few m onths ago in The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, and USA Today, and just received a $25,000 grant from the New Jersey Legislature.

R PH P s allegations about elevated cancer rates in the area around Verm ont Yankee were circulated to the press just as the debate over nuclear-reactor safety was com ing to a head in W indham County. Last week, the Verm ont Public Service Board (PSB) approved a request by the ow n­ ers o f Verm ont Yankee to boost the p lants power o u tp u t by 20 percent. If the federal Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) signs off on the power “uprate,” Vermont Yankee will become the oldest nuclear reactor in the country to attem pt a power increase o f this scale.

Uprate supporters and opponents alike claimed the board’s ruling as a victory. Entergy, the company that bought Vermont Yankee in 2002, says the uprate is necessary for the plant to keep providing cheap and reliable

assessment.” A similar review o f the M aine Yankee reactor in 1996 led to that plant being perm anently shut down — an outcom e anti-nuke activists see as possible at Vermont Yankee as well. They note that three other nuclear reactors built at around the same time have all been perm a­ nently closed due to age-related prob­ lems.

T he PSB doesn’t have the statutory

H e says that a 20 percent boost in power would result in a 30 percent increase in radiation to the surround­ ing community, especially Vernon Elementary School, which is across the road from Vermont Yankee.

Several weeks before the board’s ruling, Shut VY Now circulated to Vermont newspapers data from R PH P claiming that from the 1980s to the 1990s, cancer death rates in

But uprate opponents, including anti-nuclear citizens’ groups the New England Coalition and Shut VY Now, say they succeeded in convincing the PSB to impose several conditions on Entergy, notably, the requirem ent that the 31-year-old reactor be subjected to an “independent engineering

authority to approve or reject the uprate based on health and safety grounds — that responsibility belongs to the N R C . Still, in the m onths pre­ ceding its decision, the PSB received more than 350 w ritten com m ents from the public, m any o f them expressing concerns about increased radiation emissions if the uprate goes through.

Others, like licensed nuclear-reac­ tor operator Arnie Gundersen, appeared before the PSB in person.

W indham C ounty jum ped dram ati­ cally while cancer death rates else­ where in the state were dropping. T he group says its findings are based on data compiled from the N ational Center for H ealth Statistics. R PH P s cancer conclusions were also posted on ibrattleboro.com , an Internetbased com m unity bulletin board serv­ ing southern Vermont.

declaring a public-health emer­ gency just yet. In fact, some are calling the groups interpretation of the numbers inaccurate, unscientific and alarmist.

Stephen Minkin, a cancer expert in Brattleboro and nuclear-ener­ gy opponent, calls this report “a red herring, bogus issue” that only distracts the public from legitimate discussions about nuclear reactor safety.

T he author of the cancer findings is R PH P’s national coordinator, Joseph Mangano, an epidemiologist with a M aster’s degree in public health. He explains that RPHP is an independent organization comprised o f scientists and other health professionals who are dedicated to understanding the risks o f cancer associated with nuclear-power plant emissions and atomic bomb explosions. Since it was formed in 1980, the group has attracted lots o f media atten­ tion for controversial studies it has published in medical jour­ nals claiming a link between nuclear reactors and infant and childhood cancer rates.

T he group’s most famous report, sometimes referred to as “the baby tooth study,” was modeled after a 1950s study assessing the public-health impact of nuclear fallout from the military’s atomic weapons tests in the Nevada desert. A researcher at W ashington University in St. Louis collect­ ed about 300,000 baby teeth from around tke country in order to measure their levels ol strontium -90, a highly toxic element that is only produced by atomic explosions and nuclear reactors. T hat study found that strontium -90 levels steadily increased nationwide until 1963, when the United States and the Soviet Union signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty. Levels dropped precipi­ tously thereafter.

M angano’s group, which repeated the “tooth fairy” study on a much smaller scale — they gathered slightly more than 4000 baby teeth — found that after years of decline starting in 1963, stron­ tium -90 levels began to swing upward again in the 1980s and 1990s, when nuclear-power plants proliferated in the United States. R PH P’s study found the highest levels of strontium -90 in counties that were closest to nuclear reac­ tors. Their research also linked elevated strontium -90 levels to increased incidences o f child­ hood cancer in those regions.

A second RPH P study that garnered a lot o f media atten­ tion found that in the first two years after a nuclear reactor was closed, rates of birth defects, childhood cancer and infant deaths plunged in coun­ ties directly downwind from those reactors. For example, in the two years after the 1989 closure o f the Rancho Seco reactor about 25 miles south o f Sacramento, California, R PH P measured a threefold

SEVENDAYS f m arch 24-31, 2004 I f e a tu r e 2 1 A

NEW FABRIC STORE! NEW FABRIC STORE! decrease in infant deaths.

R PH P’s researchers reached similar conclusions at all eight o f the closed reactors they examined.

“Generally, what we find is that infant death rates and childhood death rates tend to be higher near nuclear plants,” explains M angano, in a phone interview from his Brooklyn office. “We’re find­ ing that there are a num ber o f increases in underweight births, childhood cancers and so on, in addition to the increase in strontium -90.”

M angano’s assertions about cancer death rates for W ind­ ham County are just as trou­ bling. W hile he cautions that “deaths from cancer in W indham C ounty children are rare, and a statistical com ­ parison cannot be made,” he nonetheless concludes that from the 1980s to the 1990s, death rates for all causes in W indham C ounty children ages 1 to 19 rose 1 percent, while they declined by 27 per­ cent in the rest o f Vermont.

Likewise, M angano asserts that from the 1980s to the 1990s, W indham C ounty cancer rates rose 21 percent for people ages 20 to 54, while they fell 2 percent in other Vermont counties. For people 85 years and older, the W indham C ounty cancer rate jum ped 27 percent, compared to a 4-percent rise in other Vermont counties. And for breast cancer, Verm ont’s most com m on form o f cancer, M angano calculated that W indham C ounty experi­ enced a 34 percent increase for women ages 25 to 44, while the numbers in the rest of the state fell by 22 percent.

“In light o f this inform a­ tion,” M angano concludes, “a careful analysis o f any con­ nection between radioactive emissions breathed or con­ sumed in the local diet must be made before any decision is made to expand Vermont Yankee plant capacity or extend the plant’s operating license.”

Scary fin d in g s, if th ey're to be trusted. But not so fast, say those who crunch the numbers for the state. A quick look at the statistics from the Vermont Cancer Registry, which are considered the most reliable and up-to-date figures available, reveals that M ang­ ano’s calculations may not jus­ tify his conclusions. For exam­ ple, the Registry shows that in W indham County, the breastcancer rate from 1995 to 1999 was 112.8 cases per 100.000 people, compared to Chittenden County, which had a rate o f 145.5 cases per 100.000 people, and Addison County, which had 165.8 cases. According to the Vermont Cancer Registry, W indham C ounty’s breastcancer rate was not only lower »

than most of Vermont, but also below the national average.

In fact, a closer vetting of the numbers also shows that the counties in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts that are closest to Vermont Yankee actually had lower can­ cer death rates than counties that are farther away, says Stephen Minkin, a certified tum or registrar who works in Brattleboro. While M inkin isn’t saying that living close to Vermont Yankee lowers your risk o f cancer, he points to these figures as a warning for anyone who might be tempted to read too much into the numbers.

M inkin says initially he was fooled by M angano’s findings — which he calls “a well-writ­ ten sucker punch” — but eventually concluded that the numbers don’t hold up under closer scrutiny. “Basically, it was not the kind o f data that you can use in any kind of analytical way,” M inkin says.

“They don’t have the kind of smoking gun which [Mangano] suggests. It’s crap.”

T he folks at the Vermont D epartm ent o f Health are as skeptical of Mangano’s find­ ings as M inkin, but more diplomatic in their assessment.

Health D epartm ent officials acknowledge that there is evi­ dence o f a link between expo­ sures to high levels o f radiation and certain types o f cancer, but say that “there does not appear to be a high level of statistical significance when comparing certain rates.” In other words, the num ber of cancer cases M angano looked at in W indham C ounty was too small to draw any mean­ ingful conclusions.

Findings from the National Cancer Institute support a similar conclusion. In a study published in the Journal o f the American Medical Association ’ in M arch 1991, the N C I found no increase in the risk

SEVENDAYS I m arch 24-31, 2004 I f e a tu r e 2 3 A

of cancer for people living in 107 counties containing or closely adjacent to 62 nuclear facilities — including W indham County.

Vermont’s health officials are not the first ones to'look at M angano’s findings with a skeptical eye. An article about RPHP in the November 11, 2003 issue o f The N ew York Times notes that despite the fact that the group’s members have published several articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, “their credibility with the scientific establish­ ment hovers near zero.” The Times quotes the health com ­ missioner o f Westchester County, New York, hom e o f the Indian Point nuclear power plant. He called the organization’s findings about strontium -90 levels near the plant “junk science.”

Likewise, a scathing editorial in the February 1 issue o f the Chicago Tribune, entitled “Toxic M ath,” questions similar conclusions by RPHP at the Dresden 2 and 3 nuclear reac­ tors near Morris, Illinois. The Tribune asked the head o f the epidemiological division of the Illinois Department of Health to evaluate Mangano’s findings.

His conclusion? R PH P’s find­ ings were “technically accurate, but meaningless.”

Nevertheless, R PH P’s research continues to garner political support, and financial backing, from both public and private sources. The organiza­ tion has received grant money from celebrities like Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon, and in February was awarded a grant from the New Jersey Legislature to continue explor­ ing possible links between Strontium-90 in baby teeth and rates o f childhood cancer near nuclear reactors.

And M angano remains unfazed by his critics.

Pointing out that the federal government still dges not m onitor health patterns, m or­ tality rates or incidences of cancer near nuclear reactors, he says simply that “we see things one way, and govern­ ment researchers see them another way.”

M inkin believes there’s something insidious in M angano’s cancer figures for W indham County. “This is using cancer for cheap politi­ cal ends,” he says, adding that these kinds o f claims under­ mine the scientific credibility of legitimate no-nukes argu­ ments. M inkin asserts that Vermont Yankee should be shut down for other reasons, such as the problem o f storing radioactive waste, the risk o f accidents from age-related wear or terrorist attacks, and the harm done to people who mine radioactive ore. And there’s an even more pressing health risk to all Vermonters, he notes: “If there’s a nuclear accident at Verm ont Yankee, all o f the survivors will get cancer.” ®

t’s 7 a.m. on a recent Saturday, and I’m rid­ ing in the back of a rented 12-passenger van, surrounded by the Burlington High School debate team. Were heading to Hanover, New Hampshire for an NFL tournament.

STORY No, not the National Football League — the CATHY National Forensics League; forensics in this RESMER context refers not to crime solving, but to competitive public speaking.

IMAGE I know* I know, what could possibly be CATHY geekier, right? Debate is, like, the dorkiest RESMER extra-curricular activity ever invented. There are no cheerleaders and rarely any spectators.

Even the marching band has more fans.

But after spending a long day absorbed in the bizarre, esoteric world of policy debate - — the form practiced most often by high schoolers and college students across the country — I’m prepared to argue that debaters deserve a little more respect. They work as hard as any athlete, spending months, even years learning how to make a case or tear one apart. And the skills they acquire along the way — the ability to think on their feet, to research, present and process a logical argument, not to mention to see both sides of it — are relevant to the larger world. Er, sort of.

Todays tournament is the district qualifier for the NFL’s June National Policy Debate . . Championship in Salt Lake City. Two pairs of debaters will emerge from the event with bids to the Nationals, and Burlington’s coach, Brett Kernoff, has assured me that BHS will win at least one of them. “There is no one at this tournament who can beat Joshua and Sarah,” he told me before we left.

His pronouncement might sound arro­ gant — especially since Joshua Kernoff is his son — but its probably also true. For one

I

thing, there just aren’t many debaters in the Northeast; only four schools are at this tour­ nament, three of them from Vermont. And the teams are small: Hartford High School has registered only two kids.

Though the Vermont Debate and Forensics League lists 10 teams, there are only 30 to 35 active debaters in the state, and 14 of them — nearly half — attend BHS. The school swept the state debate championships, winning every single award. Even the firstyear debaters, called novices, aced every round in which they competed. Joshua Kernoff is their captain, or, as some of them say half-jokingly, their dictator. He and Nick Landsman-Ross, a BHS alum who now debates for UVM, resurrected the team in the fall of 2000; BHS had dropped it in the late 1970s. Kernoff spends 25 to 30 hours a week on debate. It’s pretty clear that he and his partner Sarah Hasazi are the favorites.

One reason why BHS dominates the state is because they frequendy compete outside of it. Few Vermont teams ever travel to out-ofstate tournaments. Consequently, the average Vermont debater logs maybe 20 rounds a season. This year alone, Burlington’s active novices debated between 40 and 50 times.

Joshua Kernoff is at 120 and still climbing.

Then factor in the weeks BHS debaters spend prepping at summer debate camp and Brett Kernoff’s grueling three-to-seven-daysa-week practice schedule, and the result is unbeatable. “It’s like the Red Sox playing the Milton High School team,” says filmmaker John O ’Brien, who co-coaches the team at Sharon Academy.

The kids in the van don’t look that differ­ ent from your average American teenager.

They play the rap music loud, they smack each other and goof off in the van. A couple of times during the ride, the three kids in the front row do a dance routine to a song by Sublime. Senior Joshua Kernoff— a com­ pact guy distinguishable by his large, brown afro — junior Sarah Hasazi and sophomore Alex Shepard jab their elbows to the right, then to the left in unison. The five freshmen laugh and cheer. In the cacophony, someone yells, “They’re doing the team dance!”

But while they’re definitely not a young army of suits — most of them are dressed casually — this group does resemble an army. All five freshmen wear blue and white BHS T-shirts or sweatshirts that read “BHS Debate 2004.” T hat’s normal enough — the

hockey team probably has sweat­ shirts that say “BHS Hockey.” But when one of the kids turns around, I’m staring at a particularly sinis­ ter-looking skull, along with the words, “The Punishers” and “You’re not hardcore till you debate hardcore.” Truthfully, it’s a little creepy. And also, I think, kinda cool.

But their sweatshirts aren’t the only thing that sets them apart.

Once we’re on the road, instead of fishing for their personal CD players, the kids whip out orange and yellow highlighters, and battered, cardboard “expando” folders full of “evidence.”

The evidence consists of photo­ copied articles they’ll use to prove their cases during the day. Since all of the national and state-wide debate leagues agree to discuss only

instructions to her debate partner, Spencer Wright. “If we hit Bryan on aff and he asks us to disclose,” she tells him, “let me haryile it.”

Before embarking on my trip, I spoke with several Vermont debate coaches, all of whom warned me that I wouldn’t' be able to under­ stand the language of high school policy debate. I didn’t buy it. I’m not even worried when I can’t fol­ low Flint’s explanation in the van.

I figure I’ll watch a round or two and pick it up as I go along. I’m wrong. In case you’re thinking of attending one of these tourna­ ments, be forewarned: this approach is deeply, horribly flawed.

Oh sure, a round of policy debate looks fairly uncomplicated

one topic each year, teams accumu­ late vast stockpiles of material for both the affirmative and-negative positions. They carry these stock­ piles in their folders, which they then fit into large plastic tubs. The van is packed with several of these tubs, which carry up to 5000 doc­ uments each, and which the kids have decorated with bumperstickers. One bears the imperative, “Say No to Ritalin.”

As you might expect, their con­ versations are a little strange.

they follow them all the way to their logical ends. In the first round I watch two novice debaters from Hanover High School — one of whom takes notes on a laptop — present the affirmative, while BHS novices Ian Hemley and Alex Shepard go negative. The affirmative team suggests banning low frequency sonar (LFA) because it kills whales.

But they don’t just present evidence that whales are dying. They also talk about the Navy’s use of LFA in Okinawa, and how it could kill off the duogon — an animal that is cen­ tral to Okinawan culture. This, they say, is clearly environmental racism, which we should oppose because we have a moral imperative to fight racism. Refusing to fight racism eventually leads to race hatred, which results in genocide.

on the surface: two teams of two debaters each have an hour and a half to argue over this year’s resolu­ tion — in this case, a statement about the U.S. government form­ ing a consistent marine policy.

One team presents a plan that will solve the resolution (the affirmative side), the other team (the negative side) picks apart that plan. The round is composed of eight speech­ es. The first four last eight minutes a piece, the second four each last five. Each team has five minutes over the course of the round to prepare rebuttals, and after the first four speeches, the debaters, like lawyers, have a few minutes for cross-examination.

But debaters don’t just argue that their plans are good for the econo­ my, or good for the environment;

Hemley and Shepard argue that by banning LFA — which, they point out, has not been proven to kill duogon — the U.S. will be embracing the precautionary prin­ ciple. This policy will inhibit new scientific developments like advances in biotechnology, which could cure AIDS. This will lead to extinction. Hemley, an intense, brown-eyed freshman who looks like he’s due for a growth spurt, also argues that banning LFA sonar will make President Bush look like an environmentalist, which could ensure his re-election, which will certainly lead to war with Iran.

This, he concludes, will lead to global, thermonuclear obliteration.

At the end, the judges — most of them coaches or college debaters — have to decide which team pre­

sented the more effective argu­ ment. Did the teams have evidence to support their claims? Was the other team able to counter their arguments? Were any points left unanswered? And they evaluate whose impact is more critical — genocide or nuclear war? This is what it comes down to, folks.

Listening to a few hours of this makes you wonder how we’ve sur­ vived as long as we have. (FYI: nuclear war trumps genocide).

But don’t let my summary fool you — while it’s taking place, I actually can’t follow the debate at all. I’ve reconstructed it afterward by talking to the debaters and their coaches. During the debate itself, I really only catch a few words, like “Bush re-election,” “body bags,” and “eye to eye with Vladimir Putin.” It’s not that they’re speak­ ing in a foreign language; they’re just talking very, very fast.

Because they’re judged on how much information they present to support or counter a particular case, debaters learn to speak quickly.

They also learn to process speedy speech and track arguments, a tech­ nique called “flowing.” These skills are essential for debaters who com­ pete nationally, as the BHS debaters do. David Gale, who coaches the Otter Valley Union team, estimates that most Vermont debaters average about 150-200 words per minute.

Good national debaters, like Kernoff and Hasazi, speak approximately 400 per minute.

Sure enough, when I finally see the two debate, I can’t believe my ears. The novices were fast but unpolished, their speech peppered with the occasional slip, pause or “um.” N ot so Kernoff and Hasazi.

Their speech — and that of their competitors, Hanover High’s best varsity team — is nearly seamless.

Hasazi’s gasps for breath come so infrequendy and urgendy, she seems to be drowning in her words.

Kernoff seems comfortable under the pressure — so much so that he kicks off his Birkenstocks and scur­

ries from his laptop, to his piles of evidence, to the podium, in his sweat socks. When he speaks, he knits his dark eyebrows together and points with his right hand as if he were conducting a symphony. Most of the other BHS debaters gesture rhythmically with their hands when they speak — like rappers or slam poets — but Kernoff actually seems to be punctuating his points.

He starts his last speech with a gimmick. “Knock knock,” he says.

“Who’s there?” answers Hasazi.

“The T police,” he says. That’s all I catch before he picks up speed again. The Hanover debaters roll their eyes. They seem exasperated.

Brett Kernoff tells me later that they probably knew the game was up.

“Josh never uses that unless he’s sure he’s won,” he says. It’s true: Kernoff and Hasazi win the round, and emerge from the tournament unde­ feated. The novices have gotten knocked out, but the two varsity debaters are headed to the nationals.

Despite their losses, and a freak snowstorm, the teenagers are happy and hyper on the way home. There’s more smacking, more dancing.

In the back seat, the novices talk about next year. Kernoff is graduat­ ing, and they’ll be varsity. They’re already scouting eighth graders to bring into the fold. W ith 14 debaters, BHS is already the biggest team in the state. Because of its emerging dominance, and a lively debate about their place in high school debate, Brett Kernoff is talk­ ing about splitting the team into two groups — kids who will com­ pete nationally, and those who will stay in Vermont.

But this year’s not over yet.

Tomorrow the team has to report to a car wash, regardless of the weath­ er. They need the money, because the school district doesn’t give them a dime. Everybody groans when Joshua Kernoff reminds everyone just before they pull into Thrifty Car Rental to drop off the van. I guess you have to fundraise hard­ core to debate hardcore. (7)

Don Mitchell takes a novel approach to environmental terrorism story Paula Routly images Matthew Thorsen

Anti-immigration factions are hijacking the Sierra Club. An eco-activist is arrested for torching SUVs in *Jr California. Vermont environmentalists are battling it out over the pros and cons o f wind power.

These days, its not much of a stretch to imagine some ecoterrorist transplant hatching a plot to take out the transmission towers on Mount Mansfield. Vermont Public Radio’s worst nightmare comes true in Don Mitchell’s timely new novel, The Nature Notebooks, when a smooth-talking conservationist enlists three female nature writers to take back the Nose.

“Part o f writing a novel is playing, ‘W hat if?”’ says Mitchell. Could such a plot succeed? “I guess the book’s answer is ‘yes.’”

The Middlebury College professor and sheep farmer has imagined a scenario that might not have been conceivable before 9 / 11, although some old-timers may remember the Earth First activist who camped out on top o f a crane to protest the Winooski Hydro Project in 1992. “Eco-terrorism is not going to go away, and our fascination with the culture of terrorism isn’t, either,” Mitchell suggests. “The way we use the landscape is very much on people’s minds.”

Ironically, the World Trade Center attacks delayed publi­ cation o f The Nature Notebooks by more than a year, accord­ ing to Mitchell, who has not had a successful novel since he was 23, roughly 33 years ago. T hat book, Thumb Tripping,

also struck a cultural nerve. “It was, in every way, a young man’s novel,” Mitchell says of the collection of tales about his experiences hitchhiking with his girlfriend Cheryl — now his wife — in 1967. He wrote the book while he was still a student at Swarthmore College, then sold the film rights and wrote the screenplay, which was made into a movie starring Bruce Dern and Meg Foster.

Although he felt compromised by the movie-adaptation process, Mitchell saw it through — an experience that quali­ fied him to teach screenwriting years later at Middlebury College. The greater motivation, though, was monetary.

Holed up in a lavish condo and collecting paychecks from M GM , “I recognized that I was being paid an insane amount of money and if I hung onto it I could do some­ thing like buy a farm in Vermont.”

Today D on and Cheryl M itch ell graze over 100 sheep

on 150 acres in New Haven with a clear view of Snake Mountain. Their long dirt driveway winds by snowy pastures and a series of funky structures before arriving at a south-facing passive-solar residence. Mitchell built everything on the farm himself, including the house. Cheryl’s father lives on the proper­ ty. So do Mitchell’s two adult children.

The spread has got “back-to-the-land” written all over it, and in fact, the Mitchells moved north in the early ’70s to

be closer to nature a la Scott and Helen Nearing. Mitchell’s big, square glasses appear to be from that same period, too, and lend him a rather geeky look. But a 25-year-old blackand-white portrait of him that hangs in the kitchen shows a handsome, rugged farmer holding a lamb to his chest.

Mitchell is a rebel by nature — but more along the lines of Henry David Thoreau than of the scheming ecoterrorist in his new book. Mitchell modeled Kyle Hess at least in part on Edward Abbey, who, in addition to being an early envi­ ronmental activist, may well have been involved in some “monkey-wrenching type activities.” According to Mitchell, “He was also notoriously promiscuous.”

His short-lived group-marriage experience notwithstand­ ing, Mitchell appears to be closer in spirit to the thrifty Transcendentalist who lived on Walden Pond. W hen he was a junior in college, he built an underground shelter in the woods that was designed with the 19th-century writer in mind, spending about three dollars more than Thoreau did to build his shack at Walden Pond. He and Cheryl lived there for a semester until local kids discovered the trap door over the Christmas holiday.

The father of civil disobedience also shaped Mitchell’s political views. He recalls, “For any young man who came of age in the late ’60s, and opposed the war in Vietnam, find­ ing Thoreau was like saying, ‘My God, here’s this cultural

His long-time friend and col­ league John Elder notes Mitchell’s “irreverent side. He’s not a true believer, you know, and so that’s why I think he had fun playing around with this story. In some ways it sends up the environmental pieties of the day, and that seems very characteristic of Don. He’s a really thoughtful guy who’s also got sort of Puckish resistance to con­ formity to people’s expectations.”

Mitchell's got to be pleased that after being shot down by agents and editors for “appropriat­ ing the female experience” in earlier works, in this book he writes from the perspective of not one, but three women. (His daughter, now a

“I don’t think that any thought­ ful reader of the novel could come away with the impression that it was exalting or condoning eco-terrorist activity,” Mitchell says, add­ ing he thinks such a thing is less likely here than in California, because there is a broad consensus among Vermonters about how the landscape should look. And there are numerous protections — both public and private — to keep it that way.

There’s at least one antiVELCO sign on the road back to Vergennes. Mitchell is well aware of the controversy, but the pro­ posed power line “is on the other side of Buck M ountain,” which lies to the east of his place. “If it were going down our street, we’d be taking a more active position,” he says, somewhat apologetically.

T hat’s a long way from joining the SUV-burning fray. (?)

Mansfield, only to be diverted around its broad­ cast towers, will appreciate the views in a new novel from Weybridge resident and Middlebury College professor Don Mitchell. Mitchell’s story starts in a mild-mannered nature writing work­ shop and ends with an act of eco-terrorism. It offers the startling thesis that writing about the environment can cause people to become — as one character puts it — “unhinged.”

How far would you go to save a treasured landscape from development? Does tolerating sprouting ski condos make you a “smug, bour­ geois” hypocrite? These are the questions — or provocations — posed by Mitchell’s Kyle Hess, an environmental activist from California who

The novel is rich in subde comic moments.

In one scene, novice nature writer and Underhill farmer Lauren Blackwood stands in a field watching her two stud rams attempt to breed 97 ewes. As the “callow young bucks” go at it, Lauren muses about how human beings have refined the sex act. Her thoughts clearly turning to her ongoing relationship with Kyle, she thinks she’s grasped the difference between humans and animals: the latter approach sex as a breeding contest, while the former strive to turn it into “the richest of unions of bodies, minds, souls.”

But just how real is that union? Reading a bit further, we find out that while Lauren is con­ gratulating herself on her romantic discernment, a real-estate agent named Marianna Finch —

Starting with the journal of Lauren, who has the least direct knowledge of Kyle's plot, we proceed gradually from the status of semi-igno­ rant bystanders to the terrorists' inner circle. takes over the fictional Burlington writing group with the intention of blowing its members’ com­ fortable assumptions sky-high.

A published nature writer, Kyle has connec­ tions with the sort of activists who have access to explosives and communicate in cold-blooded ter­ rorist-speak. He also has curly locks and a “searching,” “spiritual” gaze — just what he needs to lure the writing circle’s women first into his bed and then into his plot.

also a member of the writing group — is antici­ pating a carnal nighttime visit from that same Kyle Hess. And a young mountain climber named Rachel Katz is trying to convince herself that the man she sees as her soulmate — again, the busy Kyle — isn’t plying the other two women with sex. Studs aren’t just found in the barnyard, it seems.

stock in trade. The novel takes the form of three personal “journals,” each presented separately in its entirety, that narrate essentially the same series of events.

Instructed to keep daily records of their interactions with nature, Lauren, Rachel and Marianna sprinkle their diaries with refer­ ences to classic writers in the genre such as Emerson, Thoreau and Muir. An equally salient refer­ ence would be to Herman Melville, whose novel The Confidence Man both celebrated and satirized American gullibility.

If the primary subject of The Nature Notebooks is the harm human beings do to the natural world and their bumbling efforts to repair it, a subtheme is the harm people do to those who trust them. “Nearly everything we do as humans runs on basic trust,” Lauren observes, wonder­ ing whether she should take advantage of a construction com­ pany’s sloppy security to commit an act of sabotage.

Little does Lauren know that her own trust is being abused — and she’s not alone. “When the

chips are down I trust this man,” Marianna writes of Kyle, who’s convinced her to bankroll the agenda she had earlier dismissed as an “eco-conscious mind fuck.”

Kyle’s own stance on the trust issue is telling. “People get manip­ ulated all the tim e....

T ro m need to trust here is Mitchell, who has set himself a couple of tough tasks in this novel: first, to tackle Big Ideas without neglecting basic story-telling; and second, to tell the whole story through the voices of three women who are, by their own admissions, still just learning to write. On both counts, he does a pretty good job. It’s not hard to detect the hand of a professional writer and nature-teacher in the journals’ nature-contemplating passages — perhaps a blessing, since an unedited student journal is rarely a pretty sight.

But there are moments when we feel as if we’re reading the straight musings of the author himself, and others when the conceit seems arti­ ficial, as when a narrator drags her journal up a mountain and stops in the thick of some thrilling action to scribble an entry.

Despite these awkward bits, Mitchell’s gift for colloquial lan­ guage serves him well, and he manages to make the three women’s voices sound distinct.

Lauren, who struggles with the impossibility of running a farm without “exploiting” nature, has a bracingly down-to-earth tone.

Marianna waxes lyrical as an arm­ chair nature enthusiast, but her voice can often take on the hard edge ol a woman used to sizing up land in financial terms.

Rachel, the youngest and most idealistic narrator, is prone to gush about “destiny” and use way, way too many italics. All ol them are capable ol letting loose a zinger on occasion, like Rachel’s dismissal of Vermont’s favorite sport: “They only ski in one direction — down.

How hard is that?”

While it might sound tedious to read the same story three times through different eyes, just the opposite is true in The Nature Notebooks: Mitchell uses his narra­ tive gimmick to jack up the sus­ pense. Starting with the journal of Lauren, who has the least direct knowledge of Kyle’s plot, we pro­ ceed gradually from the status of semi-ignorant bystanders to the terrorists’ inner circle. While the first third of the book leaves us wondering what really happened, the second journal poses deeper questions — like “why?” — that only the third journal can answer.

Each journal also casts a new, ironic light on the previous one.

Reading Rachel's account, you may find yourself paging back to review the same day from Lauren’s or Marianna’s perspective, just to savor the comic incongruities.

If the ending of The Nature Notebooks answers our questions about what happened on a stormy night on Mount Mansfield and why, it leaves us with others.

Because of the novel’s limited narra­ tive perspective, we never unearth the ulterior motives of the charm­ ing Kyle Hess, who at one point admits that he might care more about plants than people. Is Kyle’s reverence for nature sincere, or only the pretext for a power trip? Has he opened the three womens eyes to a pressing need for action to save Vermont’s landscape, or has he only corrupted and confused them?

The book leaves you with a deeper question: is it possible to advance the cause of nature with­ out abusing human trust? And if not, is it worth it? ®

Occupational Hazards

t takes a lot o f nerve to interview an oral historian. A nd a tape recorder, I thought, until Meg O strum set me straight. M ost o f the conversations she conducted over a period of 20 years for The Surgeon and the Shepherd, her book about the French Resistance, were never put on tape. T he M ontpelier author recalls being advised by a folklorist friend that “tape recorders can often get in the way o f people talking to you.”

So how did she gather details for about half-century-old events from dozens o f informants, most o f them French speakers, with just a pen and paper? “I listened very, very carefully,” she explains.

T he listening paid off — O strum ’s book, published this m onth by the University o f Nebraska Press, bears an adm iring cover blurb from veteran historian A rthur Schlesinger, Jr. T he saga o f The Surgeon and the Shepherd began for O strum in 1983, when she was on vacation hiking through the rugged Pyrenees M ountains. She asked a village priest for directions and, in the process, m entioned her hom e in New England. T he Abbe asked if she could carry a letter to a certain “M onsieur Perot,” a renowned eye surgeon in Boston. T he priest told her that Perot had plied a different trade from 1942-43, when he resided in the priest’s remote Basque village. Concealing his true identity, the Belgian doctor ran a sawmill that doubled as a resistance operation and successfully smuggled nearly 100 people out o f Nazi-occupied territory via the Spanish border.

Intrigued, O strum volunteered to try to find Perot — a task complicated by the fact that the priest could only supply his nom de guerre. Happily, says O strum , “there were as many coincidences involved in the research for this story as there are in the story itself.” Six weeks later, she found Dr. Charles Schepens through Jane Beck, then her colleague at the Vermont Arts Council, who happened to be a patient o f the Boston-based Belgian ophthalm ol­ ogist. D uring a benefit concert at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston, O strum came face to face with M. Perot for the first time.

Schepens didn’t exactly fit the image o f a rough-and-ready resis­ tance fighter. “He was so serious, so understated... there was noth­ ing that called attention to him ,” O strum says. Except that he’d become a giant in the field o f ophthalmology — the result of inventing a device that made it possible to see the retina in three dimensions. He impressed O strum with his modesty and OldW orld politesse. She realized that his “chameleon-like character” was

Schepens didn't exactly fit the image of a rough-and-ready resistance fighter. Ostrum realized that his "chameleon-like character" was precisely what had made the doctor successful as a covert operative. precisely what had made the doctor successful as a covert operative.

O strum soon discovered other compelling co-conspirators.

Behind Schepens was a sort o f “Schindler” — his Russian friend Cyrille Pomerantzeff, a trained philosopher who made his fortune selling office furniture to the Germans. Schepens used Pomerantzeff’s capital to start the sawmill-a/w-resistance-operation.

An even more unlikely resistance hero — and one who eventu­ ally became the books second protagonist — was the Basque shep­ herd Jean Sarochar, w ho had risked his life to guide fugitives through the harsh border terrain patrolled by G erm an guards.

Schepens considered Sarochar, now deceased, to Be the real hero o f his tale, so O strum w ent to the shepherd’s native village. She found his reputation as an eccentric storyteller alive and well.

H er book depicts the middle-aged peasant leaping from crag to crag w ith his trusty dog, nourishing him self w ith pinches o f salt and pretending to com m unicate with Charles de Gaulle through a haystack. But this buffoon was also a decorated W orld War I vet

with a ferocious appetite for risk and physical challenge. He was the perfect accomplice for the cerebral, strategym inded Schepens.

O strum is no stranger to the field of oral history — from 1992 until early this year she worked as an editor and adminis­ trator at the Vermont Folklife Center — but her research for the book is the first sustained fieldwork she’s done herself.

T he search for informants who remem­ bered the war years took her to some incongruous places, among them a French nursing home, the headquarters o f an agriculturalist known as the “king of the French kiwi,” and a remote m oun­ tainside where she encountered Spanish border guards toting machine guns.

N one o f these stories appears in th£ book, with its tightly focused, almosT novelistic narrative o f Sarochar and Schepens’ parallel lives. O strum says she made a conscious choice to keep herself out o f her work o f creative nonfiction. “I was reluctant to inject myself into this story. There is a real danger that the writer becomes the hero, and that would have been absolutely the wrong thing to do in this context.”

“This context” o f wartime clearly fasci­ nates O strum , especially in light o f our current imbroglio overseas. She explains, “W ar is a period that forces us to make choices. It is the test o f moral courage. It’s so unpredictable who is going to rise to the occasion.” Jean Sarochar is a prime example: “He could be lackadaisical about work, but when p ut to the test,” she says, “he had the stamina to run up and down those m ountains.”

O strum noted how differently her two protagonists related to their war-time pasts. Sarochar revelled in his memories, regaling the village with tales o f his daring escapes. Dr. Schepens, on the other hand, “didn’t want the war to be the defining m om ent for his life. He wanted his med­ ical work to be his signature.”

Indeed, Schepens was reluctant to give interviews at first, because his story had been misrepresented in earlier French accounts. O strum convinced him she was serious about getting the facts right when she returned to the Pyrenees to do first­ hand research. “It was a leap of faith for him. I told him I was working on some­ thing, but I wasn’t sure what it would turn out to be.” W hen the book was pub­ lished, she delivered it to him personally.

“I wanted the experience o f putting [it] in his hands. H e’s thrilled.”

Though she’s finally told the story she set out to tell in 1983, Ostrum still puzzles over its implications. O ne character in the book suggests, “We were living in an unnat­ ural state.” Ostrum queries, “But is war an unnatural state, or is it a human one that repeats itself periodically? I’m not sure.”

Factual questions persist, too. “The biggest remaining mystery is the identity o f the people who escaped” through the Pyrenees, says O strum . “O nly two have ever come forward.” She hopes to publish a French translation o f the book, so it m ight “get into the hands o f the children o f some o f those m en.’’ W hile the story is bound to reawaken harrowing memories, it m ight also give aging survivors o f the O ccupation their first insight into the shadowy man who saved their lives.®

An off-trail skiing trip g o e s o ff-co u rse ammit, you should have known better,” I whisper to myself, then draw a deep breath to quiet the butterflies in my stomach. It’s 7 p.m. on a recent March eve, the sun has set, and I’m lost high on a Vermont ridgeline. Worse, I’ve dragged STORY a friend into this deepening morass, and D A V ID nobody knows where we are.

H EA LY “Rookie errors,” I scoff, mentally flag­ ellating myself again for good measure.

I MAGE “You should have known better.”

S T E FA N As a frequent backcountry traveler, I B U M B E C K do know one thing: simple mistakes get compounded in the wild. Whether it’s on Everest or in the “back 40,” ignoring an appropriate “turn-around time” can get you into trouble. Lost above Bolton Valley, we’re not in the “Death Zone,” but we are an accident waiting to happen.

The intoxicant that got us here wasn’t thin air, or even summit fever, but the simple lure o f “one more run.”

Everything began innocently enough.

A visit from my friend Will, an ardent alpine skier living in Nashville, coincided with the worst snow conditions of the year. As a free-heeling Pied Piper for Vermont powder skiing, I took it as a per­ sonal challenge to sniff out the goods — even if that meant earning our turns “offpiste" in the woods.

D

We are an accid en t 'waiting to happen.

K

“Here’s the plan,” I explained between bites o f a late lunch. “We’ll go over to the back o f Bolton Valley to some mellow glades I know near the Wilderness Chair.”

We’d both been monitoring the snow squalls the last two days, and our excite­ ment grew as I stuffed climbing skins into my small daypack. It was "past two o’clock when I summarily rejected Will’s extra liter o f water. “Not gonna need it, and I don’t want to carry it,” I said with author­ ity before heading for the door.

“The odds favoring mishaps always seem to increase in'direct proportion to poor preparation,” Waterbury-based

author David Goodman writes in his authoritative Vermont guidebook, Backcountry Skiing Adventures. Perhaps the signs of our poor planning weren’t obvious along the way, but now they’re plenty visi­ ble, like those clouds gathering in the east, “That’s Venus in the western sky,” Will asserts while I survey the scene from a nearby knob, hoping to make out a land­ mark that will lead us back to civilization.

I disagree. “Those lights have to be the Champlain Valley,” I say, mistakenly, looking towards Stowe and Waterbury.

“There’s Orion and we’re making a big circle,” Will insists, perhaps a little too pointedly. I shoot him a glare, but it’s pitch black and he can’t see “shite,” as the Irish say. “This is the first time I’ve really had to navigate using the stars,” he adds, more gently.

It’s now 7:30, we’re late for dinner and I know my wife Tricia is starting to wonder back home. Occasionally she’ll suggest I should carry a cell phone while skiing in the woods. “Technology does not translate to safety,” I’ll answer. “Equipment breaks down.” Then I’ll launch into my favorite rap about the “lines of defense,” borrowed from a local mountaineering guide.

“Judgment is your first and strongest line,” I’ll recite. “Skills come next, equipment is third, and counting on other people to save you is the final — and weakest — line.”

Cell phones, global positioning sys­ tems and other tools are just that — “tools,” not an insurance policy. I’ve always championed good judgment, and, in this case, it’s been a pretty weak link.

True to Goodman’s maxim, our plan went awry the moment we hit Bolton and found the Wilderness Chair closed for the day. Forced to improvise, I led my partner to a more remote basin where I thought I could deliver a package o f easily accessible skiing and climbing. Wrong, Santa Claus!

On our way down this eastern slope, the pucker-brush whipped us in the face and slapped us in the rear. “Get thee away from here,” the snow gods seemed to say.

“Good riddance,” I spat back in reply.

Down at the bottom I improvised yet again, surveying a northeast-facing slope at the far side o f the bowl. “Look how open it is there. Want to go?” I suggested. A good

sport, Will innocently replied, “Sure.”

O ff we marched, and for a time the efforts produced results. Wide open trees, boot-high powder, gentle pitch, perfect skinning and skiing. Even Will, with alpine skis strapped to his feet, was able to negotiate the uphill climb. One run of hooting and hollering through the woods led to the moment of truth. “Should we squeeze out another?” I proposed. “We’re here, let’s do it,” was Will’s enthusiastic response. I paused just a moment to con­ sider the time — 5 p.m. — and to do the math: up and down in 30 minutes, back up by 6, dark at 6:15. “It’ll be close,” I say, “but a little dark shuffling home won’t kill us.”

The second run was better than the first, and we were both grinning as we applied skins and prepared to climb to the ridge and point our tips toward home. But Fate had other plans. By the time we regained the ridgeline, 15 minutes late, it was already dark, the waning moon obscured by clouds and my sense of direction no clearer. We blundered from out-cropping to out-cropping for three-quarters of an hour, before Will’s planetary observations finally brought me back to Earth.

“We’ve made some mistakes,” I admit, “but we’re together, not injured, it’s warm, and, with a little luck, I have a compass and small flashlight in my first aid kit.” I feel a little better knowing that I’ve packed that much. With the butterflies back at it again, I reach to the bottom of my kit and find a compass and my mini-Maglite. The batteries are a bit iffy, but good enough to shed some light. We know we went south in the bottom of the bowl. So now we need to head north across the ridge, then west down toward Bolton and Burlington.

Setting a northern course, we trudge past our own meandering tracks, keeping an eye out for an opportunity to head off the summit ridge. Thinking safety first, we decide to keep our climbing skins on even when we’re going downhill, to check our speed. Make a mistake in judgment — ours now include staying out too late, choosing an unfamiliar route home and failing to bring sufficient supplies, includ­ ing extra water and two headlamps — and you have a problem. Add equipment •

failure, bad weather or injury and.you have a recipe for disaster. We resolve not to see our day end up in the crapper.

Guided by the compass, our luck quickly changes as we intersect an old set of tracks heading northwest. A time check shows 8 p.m. “This is good,” I announce.

“He or she must have come from a known place. We should follow them.”

Will concurs. Soon we arrive at a stretch of open hardwoods that affords a view of the Champlain Valley flickering below.

Our mood brightens.

“Who’s the saint of wayward travelers — Christopher?” Will asks. “Yep,” I reply, knowing exactly where this is leading. “I’m liking Chris’ route,” Will says with a grin.

We stop to savor the moment, which is tainted only by the late hour and the fact that we’ve just finished the last of our water.

“Nine o’clock,” I announce before we set out again. “Tricia will definitely be getting worried.”

“What you have here is an irrefutable argument for a cell phone,” Will replies, paraphrasing the warden in Cool Hand Luke. “Not good,” I concede, as the long hand of the law begins to enter my con­ sciousness.

A decade ago, Vermont passed a bill that authorizes ski area operators and the state police to charge the growing number o f wayward skiers for the costs of their search and rescue. As I work my way along Chris’ trail, I begin to calculate the potential ramifications o f our actions.

“First thing that happens,” I tell Will “is that Tricia will call ‘the usual suspects’ — a.k.a. my ski partners — asking for help tracking me down in the woods.

They’ll tell her not to worry until 10 p.m., but will probably pack their gear in anticipation o f a rescue. Next, she’ll call the state police, who will establish a com­ mand center at the resort and ask man­ agement to turn on the night-skiing lights to serve as a beacon for us. Maybe they’ll bring in a ski patroller to snowmobile around the cross-country center. But search-and-rescue protocols bar nighttime searches unless it’s a life-threatening situa­ tion. And we’re not at that point yet.”

Minutes click by as we follow Christopher’s tracks. Suddenly, his course

veers south, away from the direc­ tion we thought we needed to go.

Emotionally, we’ve become attached to our patron saint; and following his lead has helped us avoid the heavy underbrush and stream beds that bedevil so many off-trail adventures. Not ready to strike out on our own, we carry on, hoping that around the next turn or over the next ridge, Chris will lead us to a well-worn trail.

Over time, though, our situation begins to deteriorate. Will, with his fixed heel and heavy alpine setup, begins to bonk. He’s dehydrated and hungry. Worried, I go to the well one more time, reaching into the depths of my emergency aid kit.

Like a sommelier displaying a treas­ ured bottle, I produce some wellaged packets of Swiss Miss instant hot cocoa. We tip ’em back, dry.

Caffeine and sugar make a powerful combination. It gives us a lift, and we set out again day­ dreaming about the adult bever­ ages awaiting us at the end of our journey. But we’re not out yet, and Chris isn’t helping any. He’s head­ ing over hill and dale like the character in that juvenile “Family Circus” comic who leaves foot­ prints all over the neighborhood on his way to get the mail. “I can’t go uphill anymore,” Will finally says. “Okay,” I agree, though we’ve mostly been skirting a ridge.

“We’ve heard cars below. That must be the Bolton Access Road.”

In a hopeful tone, I add, “We can’t go too far wrong at this point.”

In fact, there’s still plenty of room for things to go awry. It’s late, it’s dark and we’re whooped.

Finally, Lady Luck starts dealing us aces. Within minutes of leaving Chris’ route, we find a stream and follow it a short way downhill. It brings us to an obvious logging road — a sign of civilization, even if rather rough, bound to lead to a road. Taking a chance, we pull off our climbing skins and begin to glide downhill. The radiant light coming off the snow helps us see everything but the water bars that obstruct our path.

Ten minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes later, we stop where a bridge crosses a sizable gully. I can sense the road just above. Minutes later, we pop out at Bolton’s Timberline Lodge, a good two miles from where I thought we’d emerge. It’s like that moment in Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Donkey when they take off your blindfold and you discover you’re facing the opposite wall. Neither relief nor hindsight can alter the fact that we’ve been thoroughly lost.

Will and I give each other a pat on the back and flag down a pickup truck heading down the road. I jump in the back while Will calls Tricia on the driver’s cell phone. It’s 11 p.m. and she’s just called the Vermont State Police.

She’s relieved, and so are we. No one is hurt, no search-and-rescue crews have been inconvenienced.

There will be no embarrassing sidebar in the local daily.

All’s well that ends well, I’d like to say. Instead, I’m left with some nagging questions: Do I need to add a cell phone to my pack? How prepared am I for self-rescue in the case o f injury? Can I travel safely alone in the backcountry, as I like to do from time to time? My wife has her own opinion, of course. “You’re grounded for two weeks,” she announces, only half kidding. Perhaps that’ll give me enough time to figure it all out. ®

r e v ie w th i CRAZYHEARSE, H A RV EST SEASON (Self-Released, CD) It's not often you get a record as consistently clever, catchy and twisted as Crazyhearse's Harvest Season. It's fun, spooky and enjoyable — creepy-crawly in a good way. Plus, they have a banjo, and sometimes the gruff singing makes them sound Russian. Cliff Wanner at Big Red Dog Studio deserves a few pats on the back for a job well done, especially mix­ ing the three lead vocals. One singer sounds like a tired Gram Parsons rocking the Cosmic American Gothicana. I'll bet they are fans of both Johnny Cash and Southern Culture on the Skids. And 'Crazyhearse' — what a name! The songs are a little fucked-up — like graveyard shanties, rural and rowdy. I dig the pig squeals in "Tractor Trailer Disaster" — they sound like a cross between The Beatles' "Piggies" and the end of "Detroit Rock City." "E vil Toys," "Gnomes," "Undead Girlfriend" and "Revenge" are all charmers as well.

"Worcester Sauce," with its "It's Awesome!/It's terrible!" lyrics, may be my second favorite tune. But "Muscle Car" is definitely the fave, and I'll go toe-to-toe with anyone who disagrees. I've played it for every person who's come into my house in the last three days and they all liked it. Hey, Crazyhearse, you have a new fan!

THE GIBSON BROTHERS, LONG WAY BACK HOME (Sugar Hill, CD) Eric and Leigh Gibson have come a long way from the family farm in Ellenburg Depot, New York. Long Way Back Home, their fifth recording as The Gibson Brothers and second release on "A-List" bluegrass label Sugar Hill, is another hit.

The Bros are well on their way to becoming bluegrass superstars. Along the path they have learned from northern New York picker Junior Barber, gotten lots of applause from the International Bluegrass Music Association, landed a gig or three at the Grand Old Opry and basked in positive attention from major publications. They are Bluegrass Now's March 2004 cover boys. Long Way Back Home contains 13 tracks of instantly classic and mostly original bluegrass and country music. The Bros sound like they've been playing all their lives in northern Tennessee instead of northern New York.

It's the real thing. The duo make a rare local appearance on Friday at Higher Ground. Local sibling pickers the Cleary Brothers open.

VOICE, PRIME (Self-released, CD) Burlington's Voice were one of the first area groups to experiment with live drum 'n' bass rhythms and organic hip-hop kicks. With jazzy grooves and lazy licks, the octet integrated itself with the new face of jam music. They're more indebted to the fried-funk of Herbie Hancock than Jerry Garcia's rural ramblings.

Anyone willing to look past the puffs of pot w ill realize that this new downtempo fad differs little from the acid-jazz craze that swept the UK during the early '90s. Yet, to these groups — and more importantly, to their fans — these sounds are a revolution, a journey to the forefront of urban experimentation.

Prime, Voice's disc debut, is an hour of slippery guitar licks, keyboard swirls, soft horns and smooth-tongued rhymes. The group revolves around the core of guitarist Dave Diamond, drummer Caleb Bronz, bassist Robinson Morse and keyboardist Dante Leven. Their sparse, slithering grooves set a foundation upon which MCs Terrell Williams and Manus Dunbar spit their socially conscious rhymes. Trombonist Andrew Moroz and sax-man Bryan McNamara punctuate the tracks with bursts of brass.

Prime is less a "get up and groove" record, however, than one custom-catered to keep you glued to the couch. While Voice may get themselves into some wild workouts live, on disc they are out to move mind over matter. "Feels Good" kicks things off with Leven's interstellar key­ board whooshes and Diamond's limber guitar licks. On "Muted Days," the band lays back, lending the sparsest of backdrops for Williams' and Dunbar's poetics. Bronz attacks his kit on "Trouble," leading the band through a skittering rhythmic rager. % , Further in, "Spacewater" kicks up the tempo with some well-placed turntablism from DJ ADog. "Be Here Now" is a steamy soul cut, with the horns cutting fat lines over a steady beat.

The group slides through 13 tracks of head-nodding hipness, but rarely stretch themselves toward anything original. Prime creates an atmosphere, but never finds a voice.

Beyond the art itself, this show begs the question: How did these artists score their island sojourn? To fund the Hawaiian trips, Burlington City Arts received a $5500 “donor-directed grant” that was passed through the Vermont Com munity Foundation. According to Brian Byrnes, the foundation’s President and C E O , “That grant was given to City Arts to support the arts in Vermont.

City Arts could use this grant for any project, at its own discretion, in support o f its mission and programs.”

The project’s curatorial statement sug­ gests that “The Vermont/Hawaii print exhibition is as much about the meeting o f two artist communities as it is about the display o f artwork.” If so, the Hawaiians were treated to a very narrow view o f the Burlington arts community.

Every one o f the Hawaii-bound partici­ pants was a City Arts teacher and/or a member o f the City Arts Print Studio 250. Each received a stipend o f several hundred dollars to cover expenses.

There are hopes that the Vermont/ Hawaii project can continue, and that more artist exchanges can take place in the future. Burlington City Arts director Doreen Kraft has suggested that a Vermont-Hawaii ceramist exchange may also be possible. Morinoue’s monumen­ tal “Riverwalk” has been donated to fur­ ther the project, and if or when it sells, the proceeds will assist future exchanges.

It would be nice if next time, the exchange rate was at par. Right now, someone owes us four Hawaiians. ®

H BRAIN DRAIN W inslet and Carrey say no thanks for the m em ories in the latest from Charlie Kaufman.

ow happy is the blameless vestal’s lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine o f the spotless mind! Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d .”

— Alexander Pope, “ Eloisa to Abelard” To a movie resume that includes stints as a pet detective and cable guy; Jim Carrey can now add professional experience as a vestal. Though I have to admit to being perplexed on a num­ ber o f related points. For example, I am suitably impressed that the title o f Charlie Kaufman’s latest script was plucked from line 209 o f a 366-line poem by Alexander Pope published in 1717. At the same time, I am unable to make the slightest sense o f the verse from which the title was taken or to see how it pertains in any way to this picture.

Carrey continues to grow as a performer, but I’m not sure that even a dramatic actor o f his ability is equal to the role o f vestal. I’ll save you the trouble: Webster’s defines vestal as “a virgin consecrated to the Roman goddess Vesta and to the serv­ ice o f watching the sacred fire perpetually kept burning on her

Eternal Sunshine o f the Spotless M ind is a one-gimmick affair that’s periodically touching and clever, but never the heart­ breaking work o f staggering genius its reviews would lead one to expect.

I suspect that Kaufman was influenced by Memento, Groundhog Day and 1983’s Betrayal— the film that started the reverse chronology rage — far more than the poetry o f Alexander Pope. What we’ve got here is not a lot more than a thinking person’s 5 0 First Dates.

The film offers the story o f a relationship told from a point just after which it has ended back through time to the instant in which it began. The playwright Harold Pinter did precisely the same thing about a quarter century ago in the play on which Betrayal was based. Carrey plays a shy shlub by the name o f Joel. Kate Winslet is Clementine, the boozy ball o f fire he’s lived with for the last two years. Early on Joel learns that Clementine hasn’t just left him. She’s paid to have all traces o f him erased from her memory.

Tom Wilkinson costars as Dr. Howard Mierzwiak, the cre­ ator o f a process capable o f targeting the parts o f the brain in which memories o f a given subject are stored. He zaps the metaphysical little buggers one by one with the help o f a lap­

top and humongous colander-like helmet. Joel decides to respond in kind and signs up to have Clementine deleted from his own hard drive.

For most o f the movie, Carrey is unconscious as the proce­ dure is being carried out. What we watch on the screen is the succession o f memories which are being erased. At first these scenes simply reenact events as they originally took place and, for a time, it’s interesting to count the ways Kaufman and Gondry can come up with to suggest the effect o f a set disinte­ grating even as action unfolds on it.

As he did with the script for Adaptation, though, Kaufman shoots himself in the foot as the third act approaches.

Suddenly what begin to unspool are no longer fixed memories but bits o f surreal theater in which the remembered Joel and Clementine inexplicably acquire the capacity to think in the present while playing out the past. Despite being rendered deeply unconscious, Carrey experiences a change o f heart and decides he wants to call the whole thing off. Since he can’t tell the doctor, he has remembered Joel enlist the help o f remem­ bered Clementine and the two conspire to hide precious recol­ lections where they are unlikely to be detected.

By this point, the movie has not only violated its own loopy logic, it simply has gone on too long. The novelty o f watching Carrey and Winslet race through memory after memory trying to stay one step ahead o f Mierzwiak’s big eraser eventually wears thin.

Both performers do an effective job o f generating an emo­ tional center for the film, and Carrey’s desperate fight to pre­ vent Winslet from fading from his life forever does tug at the heart. But let’s face it, the mechanism at work here is anything but cutting-edge. It’s the oldest literary device o f all, the sweet sorrow o f parting. In Kaufman’s latest, dying simply has been replaced by forgetting. It’s Love Story with frontal lobotomies.

Which isn’t to say it’s not a larky little blast o f film fun. It is. The reality, however, is that Hollywood is such (in Idea-poor place that Kaufman tends to get more credit than he deserves 7 for work which only occasionally rises above the level ofimind games and showy sleight o f hand.

-^ v , His latest is not unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It isn’t even unlike anything you’ve seen in the past year. Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris, for example, addressed many o f the same themes, represented a similar foray into sci-fi/art film fusion and proved a far more lyrical, moving and contemplative experiment which the filmmaker’s audience mysteriously over­ looked.

My advice: Feel free to forget this fable o f memory cleans­ ing, but remember to hit a video store on the way h om e.®

however, in an annual three-day, 100mile dash through Vermont sponsored by the Green Mountain Horse Association. In the 1940s, he penned articles for the Vermont Horse an d Trail Rider Bulletin that detailed his legendary exploits in foreign lands.

Fusco speculates that CuChullaine O ’Reilly may be worried that Hidalgo has eclipsed a potential Hollywood deal for his own book about a long-distance horse adventure. This is a guy whose life story rivals Hopkins’ for improbability.

“He converted to Islam in the ’70s and took the name Asadullah Khan,” Fusco says. “He founded the Long Riders Guild after a 1000-mile race out o f Pakistan. The catalyst for his ride: He was escaping narcotics police whom he claims planted heroin on him.” O ’Reilly also claims to have once lived in Afghanistan, where he was mistakenly jailed as a Soviet spy and left for dead in a ditch.

But has he fostered negative publicity about H idalgo that stretches all the way to Saudi Arabia? Fusco says he has received several threatening phone calls from that country, where the film is likely to be banned for its enlightened plot. “The woman protagonist sheds her veil at the end,” he says. “Fatw a on the writer!”

All in all, Fusco is puzzled that “this little ol’ horse movie from Disney could ignite a holy war.”

John Fusco says a Kentucky couple, Basha and CuChullaine O'Reilly, is behind a media blitz to discredit Hidalgo. biographical material on which the film is based. The O ’Reillys insist that Hopkins fabricated his assertions o f being part-Sioux, a dispatcher for the Cavalry and a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. In reality, they say, he was a white man who dug subway tun­ nels in Philadelphia and wrangled hors­ es for the Ringling Brothers Circus.

They even charge that the desert race itself, supposedly an ancient tradition called Ocean o f Fire, never existed.

Hopkins definitely did participate,

combatants have endured in virtually all the wars involving Americans since the early 20th century. The Peacham film­ maker is shooting a documentary — tentatively titled Double-Edged Sword — that he hopes will “separate the poli­ tics from the human perspective” o f armed conflict.

The venture, which Craven began two months ago, is particularly timely given the approaching presidential election.

“The voices o f vets have suddenly become prominent in a way you wouldn’t have expected a few years ago,” he says, refer­ ring in particular to the campaign o f warhero-turned-protestor John Kerry.

Craven, 33, plans to focus primarily on Vermonters and the lasting psycho­ logical issues that plague so many vets.

On camera, one subject reveals that he was recently revisited by his terrible memories. “I interviewed a World War II soldier in Vergennes,” Craven recalls. “ He told me he’d been ice-fishing and saw some o f the guys who never made it back walking toward him in the snow, 60 years later.”

Another angle that intrigues Craven is how the Pentagon finds fresh cannon fodder. “Part o f the ‘N o Child Left Behind’ Act mandates that the names

As you can guess from her name, Fickle Fannie is hard to predict. Her preferences change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Note: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they're spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean* or what's inside them.)

and addresses o f ninth graders have to be provided to the government for future military recruitment,” he says.

“In Brattleboro, recruiters go into the schools five times a month. I talked with a Vietnam vet working on counter­ recruitment.”

Craven, who visited Vietnam in 1970 with a student organization, returned to Hanoi this January for eight days. He anticipates shooting a feature there based on literature by local writers and veterans back home who tell “their contemporary stories,” he says, “perhaps with flashbacks to the war.”

The opportunity for this endeavor comes through Marlboro College, where Craven teaches film studies. The school contributed funds to the project from a Freeman Foundation grant for establish­ ing cultural ties with China and Vietnam. Craven still has to raise anoth­ er $200,000.

Meanwhile, Craven continues to look for vets to appear in Double-Edged Sword. He doesn’t have any who served in Somalia or in 1991’s Operation Desert Storm. “I also hope to find sol­ diers who fought on the other side in all these wars,” he notes. “It’s important to consider a rainbow o f experiences.”®

0 BROTHERS It's hard to believe "Umbilical Brothers" David Collins and Shane Dundas aren't related. They appear to share a humor gene. The Aussie actors, described in The New York Times as "psychic twins, joined in an irresistible conspiracy to commit comedy," mix rubber-bodied move­ ments and superior sound effects in their Broadway show, Thwak.

Using only their bodies, their voic­ es and a microphone, the dynamic duo sucks the audience into a car­ toon world of suicidal bugs and exploding dogs. Other silly skits parody bad martial-arts movies, Germanic mimes and mean-spirited puppetry. When the Tom-and-Jerry types chase each other around the stage, "sibling rivalry" ensues.

vV tz LJ. Jl 4 GREEN MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL I music SAVOY THEATER AND CITY HALL ARTS CENTER, MONTPELIER, SATURDAY, MARCH 20.

Vermont fans of independent and foreign films may find pickings slim most of the year, but Montpelier's Green Mountain Film Festival is the cin­ ematic equivalent of an all-you-can eat buffet. With 76 screenings of 27 films in 10 days, the annual extravaganza lets film lovers sample movies from all over the world.

At noon on Saturday, the ticket office above the Savoy Theater had a line down the stairs and out the door — a testament to the seven-year-old festival's increasing popularity. Frazzled but gracious, Savoy co-owner and film festival programmer Rick Winston directed traffic through the cramped space. Michael Arnowitt — Montpelier pianist, prodigy, activist and subject of local director Susan Bettmann's film Beyond 88 Keys — ducked in to say that the morn­ ing's screening had gone well.

Of the 27 festival offerings, 22 are local premiers and seven are by Vermonters, including two unsched­ uled shorts by high school students. Over half come from Chad, China, Georgia, Hungary, Israel and other countries rarely represented at the Oscars. How to choose? I picked two movies pretty much at random.

The first was showing at the Savoy, which, albeit claustrophobic, is s till my favorite place to see a movie in Vermont.

As the lights dimmed for Tzahi Grad's Giraffes, the mostly older crowd rustled as excitedly as kids at a premiere of the next Harry Potter film . Instead, they got a lush, sexy, mysterious, comedic tale set in Tel Aviv.

Later, across the road at the City Hall Arts Center, I caught Morning Sun. Post-screening, director Carma Hinton was there to answer questions about her complex, heart-wrenching documentary of the Chinese Cultural Revolution under Mao. I left for home with my head spinning. How do they cope at Cannes?

GOSPEL TRUTH As a lit lover, St. Mike's religious studies professor Jeffrey Trumbower loved Dan Brown's The Da Vino Code, but i t made the scholar in him howl. When he couldn't walk across campus without getting into a dis­ cussion about the novel, he knew he had something to talk about. Though his lec­ ture doesn't touch on the "Priory of Sion," "cryptexes" or depictions in Da Vinci's art­ work, it does examine Brown's claims about ancient religious texts, the Emperor Constantine and the rise of Christianity.

"Not everything in the book is bogus, but a lot is written out of context," says Trumbower. The theologian believes the fic­ tion could have been just as thrilling i f it had put more faith in the truth.

WARM WINDS South Indian flutist Shashank began Learning the language of classical Indian music at 9 months, before he even knew how to speak. The tooting tyke wasn't ju st full of hot air. By the time he was 6, he was drawing the attention of veteran maestros. He's captivated crowds at the President's Palace in New Delhi and at concert halls in the Netherlands, Japan and the U.S. Shashank is best known for merging instruments of different lengths and frequencies to produce tones ranging from deep to shrill, meditative to playful. This week, his fancy finger-work on a bamboo reed gets backing from six South Indian percussionists.

LIVES INTERRUPTED War is the number-one cguse of displacement around the world, and no one understands that better than the folks at Vermont Refugee Assistance. They've been helping asylum-seekers in the Green Mountains since 1987. This week, their cause gets a hand from a staged reading of Jon Lipsky's L i v in g in E x i l e . The graphic, full-length play is a contemporary retelling of Homer's I l i a d . The blood and gore conveys a meaningful message: Whether it's during the Trojan War or the War on Terror, there are no easy solutions when people are brutally uprooted from their homes.

MIXED COMPANY

MOZAIK

etc

*

An Irishman, a Scotsman, an American, a Dutchman and a Bulgarian sit down to play some music. It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but acoustic super-group Mozaik is anything but. The culturally diverse crew was organized by Irish-music legend Andy Irvine — a guitar, mandolin and har­ monica player who's been mingling with world musicians since the '60s. Two years ago he assembled his chosen bandmates for an afternoon of song swapping. Today the eclectic ensemble switches so naturally from old-time Appalachian field songs to slow Celtic airs to lively Bulgarian dance tunes that it seems like artistic alchemy.

the love c o u n se lo r Dear Lola, The other night when I was out drinking I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in several years. Round about the bottom of her third beer, she confessed that she and her boyfriend had discovered a whole new world of sex play: He's her "pony boy" and she's his mistress. What's up with that?

Puzzled in Plattsburgh Dear Puzzled, "Ponyplay" has been around for a long time — people claim it was popular in 16th-century Turkey and during the Victorian era.

It's a dominance-and-submission activity in which one party acts as the other's beautiful beast of labor. Wearing a tail, bridle and harness, a "bottom" might give rides, pull a cart, perform stunts and communicate without words — as well as submit to the crop and receive praising strokes. Participants take pleasure in what E q u u s E r o tic u s publisher Paul Reed describes as "the exchange of power: one person giving another... the honor of being domi­ nant." Unfortunately, this sort of horsing around isn't always consensual. Note, though, that fans of this fetish say "nay" to bestiality and abuse.

Love, Lola

John Dinklage, Chairman South Burlington Development Review Board March 24, 2004 State of Vermont WATER RESOURCES BOARD Re: Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) Docket No. WQ-04-03 NOTICE OF PREHEARING CON­ FERENCE (Issued Mar. 22, 2004) On February 19, 2004, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR), through its Department of Environmental Conservation, issued Amended NPDES General Permit 39014 (Amended Permit), which establishes requirements, stan­ dards, prohibitions and manage­ ment practices for discharges of stormwater from small municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) in the greater urban area of Burlington, Vermont. On March 19, 2004, Conservation Law Foundation (Appellant) appealed the Amended Permit to the Water Resources Board (Board) under the provisions of 10 V.S.A. § 1269. The Amended Permit extends the jurisdiction of the original permit from eleven MS4 entities to the urbanized areas of Jericho, Underhill and Milton, authorizes waivers from MS4 permit coverage, and authorizes petitions requesting the designation of small MS4s for permit coverage. The Notice of Appeal alleges that the Amended Permit fails to adequately control discharges that will violate water quality standards in impaired waters, fails to require controls consistent with the Lake Champlain Phosphorus TMDL, fails to assure that discharges will comply with anti-degradation requirements, fails to require adequate monitoring, and fails to include an enforceable schedule of compliance.

In accordance with Board Procedural Rule 28, the Board's Chair or his designee will convene a prehearing conference for the purpose of meeting with the Appellant and ANR, clarifying the issues in dispute, identifying any preliminary issues, determining party status, setting a schedule for filings, and taking such other action as necessary to prepare for a hearing on the merits. This prehearing conference will be held on Tuesday, April 13, 2004, at 9:00 a.m. at the Board's Conference Room in the National Life Records Center Building, Montpelier, Vermont (Directions to the Board's offices are available upon request.)

Persons (other than the Appellant) seeking to participate as parties in this appeal shall file written notices of appearance and requests for party status no later than 4:30 p.m., Thursday, April 8, 2004. Persons (including the Appellant) seeking to participate as parties in this appeal shall attend the prehearing conference prepared to identify issues, pro­ posed witnesses, and exhibits to be presented. Persons (including the Appellant) not able to attend the prehearing conference, but who wish to participate as parties, must notify the Board in writing no later than 4:30 p.m., Thursday, April 8, 2004, of their intentions to appear at the hearing, their reasons for seeking party status (except for the Appellant), the issues they intend to address, and the witnesses and exhibits they intend to present. Furthermore, those persons or entities not iden­ tified in Board Rules of Procedure 25(B)(l)-(5) who will be petition­ ing the Board for party status should be prepared in their writ­ ten filings to discuss each of the requirements for intervention as set forth in Board Rules of Procedure 25(A)(l)-(3); (B)(6)(8); and/or (C), as appropriate.

The Chair will consider the requests for party status and will memorialize party status and other rulings in a written prehearing conference report and order, which shall be binding on all persons who receive this notice, whether or not they attend the prehearing conference.

Any person who does not notify the Board of his or her intention to participate in this appeal as required above will be presumed to have waived his or her rights to further notice and may be excluded by the Board from participating in these proceedings. Any questions or filings regarding the above-ref­ erenced appeal should be directed to Daniel D. Dutcher, Associate General Counsel, Water Resources Board, National Life Records Center Building, Drawer 20, Montpelier, VT 05620-3201 (802-828-3063).

Alt-Fuel C ocktail Talk U

ey, car guy,” is the way the question usually begins at a cocktail party. “What about all these ® “ alternative fuel cars out there? Whats with that?”

Usually, there’s a troubled look on my ques­ tioner’s face, where in fact there ought to be self-congratulation. The direction and duration of an automotive revolution hinges upon proper consideration of this topic.

In a nutshell, our realistic alternative power options in the short term number four: all-elec­ tric vehicles; hybrid, gas-electric vehicles; fuel­ cell vehicles; and diesel. From my perspective, our immediate automotive prospects look pretty straightforward.

All-electric vehicles are a Dope’s Delusion — forget about’em. General Motors invested over a billion dollars in the heralded Saturn EV-1 a few years ago. Then they demanded them all back.

They’re next to useless in real-world conditions; and because GM only ever leased a paltry few hundred of them, they confiscated every EV-1 as leases expired. Next stop: the crusher.

It’s not that electric motors are unappealing.

They are, in fact, delightful with their instant-on, gobs-of-torque personalities. It’s just that massive battery packs and home-charging are dead ends.

Which is precisely what hybrid gas-electric and fuel-cell technologies are meant to eliminate.

In the case of the hybrids, small gasoline motors provide on-board electrical generating power — plus a little acceleration assistance — in what are fundamentally electric-powered vehicles.

Toyota has its Prius and Honda its Insight and Civic hybrids; of the three, the gas-o-lectric Civic and Prius strike me as the most practical choices for current conditions, mostly because they are real cars. By comparison, the the Insight is an

oddball one-off that never really made a success­ ful leap into the here-and-now from out of George Jetson’s TV cartoon world.

The fuel-cell concept also employs electricity as locomotive power; the difference is the space-age conversion of hydrogen into electrici­ ty for charging batteries. The technology is ele­ gant and efficient; it’s also exorbitantly expen­ sive and, for now, impractical. After all, when was the last time you popped over to the local hydrogen fuel station for a quick coupla pints of sub-zero go juice? Infrastructure is the miss­ ing link in the fuel-cell evolutionary chain, and I simply don’t see this link being forged any­ time soon.

In light of the foregoing collection of exotica, I find it ironic to point out that a sophisticated, tried-and-true alternative fuel exists before our very eyes, should we bother to notice. A diesel engine is far more fuel-efficient than an equiva­ lently sized gas motor. (Compare for yourself: compression ratios in gas motors are about 10:1; in diesels they reach 20:1 and more. That’s literal­ ly twice the mechanical “work” for every stroke of

a piston.) New low-sulfur diesel formulations are cleaner in most tailpipe emissions tests than gaso­ line; and the fuel is available almost everywhere.

The Euros know. In the homeland of Green Party politics, one in three new European cars is diesel-powered, including the striking BMW 5-Series 3.0-liter diesel and Mercedes-Benz E320 CDI. It’s a different game in the U.S. of course, where diesels are big and brawny and reserved mostly for stump-pulling trucks.

Personally, I’d much rather have a VW Jetta with its 1.9-liter diesel that ekes 700 miles out of each fill-up, achieving 36 mpg/City, 47 mpg/Highway in the process. Among passen­ ger car makers, Volkswagen is currently the only purveyor of a diesel option in the U.S., with Mercedes to follow by year’s end.

As far as I’m concerned, diesel is where it’s at until fuel-cell costs and hydrogen infrastructure come to heel. Hybrids are but a transitional novelty, and all-electric rides are for golf cours­ es. If you want to talk about more of the same at the next cocktail party, I’ll gladly repeat myself; and it won’t be the beer talking. ®
