What is your pet's stupidest trick? Our dog loves diving for rocks. — John Hancock Big Dog, Claire's Dog Camp Mud City Libby the dog comes to work and plays fetch with total strangers all day. — Art Hendrickson Warehouse Manager, SmalI Dog Electronics Waitsfield My cat Molly likes to play soccer with,her little paws. — Mindy Crosby Salesperson, Pet Food Warehouse Shelburne

HOORAY FOR HACKIE It would be a sin of omission not to jump to Jernigan Pontiac's defense after one of the subjects of his columns, Justin Olson, trashed him so unmercifully [Letters, June 20]. Justin said he was wronged by the intrepid cabbie and author of the "Hackie" column because there were enough details in the column to identify him and the tone of the piece made him look like a dufus. While I can understand his squeamishness over the details — Middlebury is a small town, and his friends could probably place him — the tone of the piece was understanding and very real-life. Jernigan described Justin's late-night trip to UVM to see his girlfriend, a sophomore, with whom he needed to iron out some relationship wrinkles. Rather than thinking Justin was a patsy or fool, it brought me back to my own late-night, cold-day, rain-soaked trips to UVM to see my girlfriend (though usually hitchhiking, not in a cab) during the challenging adjustment to college life. In his usual way, Jernigan painted a picture that was easy for anyone to understand — being young, dealing with a long-distance relationship, the simple yet intimate conversation that can take place in the front seat of a car late at night that proves so revealing. Sure, Jernigan changed some facts — further attempts to hide the identity, since his has to be an anonymous column. "Hackie" is hands down the best slice-of-life column around, providing a revealing look at the regular folks out

there — Jernigan included — who don't usually appear in the newspapers of Vermont. It is written with style, empathy and an attempt to look on the bright side of life, even when those people in the back seat may occupy the darker side.

played on the jury members' emotions and presented Dan White as an aliAmerican boy (firefighter and former cop) whose understandable rage and frustration vented themselves through the service revolver he "happened" to have with him.

Don't worry, Justin. You came off looking like a young man willing to literally go the distance to help someone and support a relationship. Pretty good qualities. I hope it worked. My UVM girlfriend later became my wife.

At the end of the play, I disagreed with the jury's verdict, but I thought I understood why they returned it. I recommend the Lost Nation Theater's production of Execution of Justice to anyone interested in understanding the emotions seething around the election and assassination of Milk and Moscone and the trial of the man who killed them in the late 1970s.

— Peter Conlon Cornwall "JUSTICE" WELL-EXECUTED Robert Isenberg calls Execution of Justice, [which was performed] at the Lost Nation Theater in Montpelier, "playwright Emily Mann's desperate attempt to exonerate one of America's most under-appreciated heroes [Harvey Milk]." Isenberg not only misunderstands the meaning of "exonerate," which he apparently uses as a synonym for "honor," but he imputes intent to the playwright with scant evidence. I did not see that the play "clearly sides with the prosecution," as Isenberg would have it. I went into the play prepared to see the "Twinkie defense" ridiculed; instead, I saw the prosecution's and the defense's points presented cogently. I left wrestling with the defense of "diminished capacity" in a way I never had before. Features like the smooth acting of David Stradley as the defense lawyer added to the production's power. His powerful summation, disarmingly prefaced by his remarks about his nervousness, showed how expertly the defense

— Carl Etnier East Montpelier FREYNE SHAMEFUL Let's just get this clear up front. Peter Freyne is a braying ass. I don't mind that particularly — everyone has the right to be stupid and loud — but when he compares Castro to George Washington [Inside Track, May 29], well, let's just say it's a little too much to bear. He calls our policy towards Cuba "shameful." I guess he hasn't spent much time talking to Cuban dissidents, has he? How does he describe political prisoners? As "shameful?" Shameful that they believe in democracy? The only shame here is on Freyne, who continues to write insulting crap, and that people read him. Personally, I hang my head in shame when I read him, but I figured, if no one calls him on this, who will? Since Freyne's not a reporter, I guess it's O K to make unsupported allegations, comments and descriptions that

require no type of validation. It seems to me he would feel right at home in Cuba, as long as he was writing for the right side... Since Carter has left office, he's been... a voluptuary of despots and dictators. He told Haitian dictator Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras he was "ashamed of what my country has done to your country." He's praised the mass-murdering leaders of Syria and Ethiopia. He endorsed Yasser Arafat's sham election and grumbled about the legitimate vote that ousted Sandanista Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua... (Carter should be physically restrained. He's embarrassing the U.S. with every comment he makes to these clowns.)... Personally I think Peter... Freyne is just pushing buttons so somebody pays him to write a column and ask embarrassing questions of the governor. I'd rather he ask if the governor supports communism, in whatever fashion, in whatever state, unabashedly. That way, the governor could deliver a decisive answer. Other than that, show me his international relations credentials, or expect people to call him on his uninformed, biased and pathetic columns. So glad to be living in the People's Republic of Vermont. — Chris Campion Winooski

Queen of Slander

campaign manager started this week. He's Narric Rome, son of Republican Bernie Rome. Bernie lost to Ruth Dwyer in the 2000 GOP primary. Narric described his dad as a "Jim Jeffords-style Republican." • One Democrat candidate for state treasurer, Jeb Spanieling, is losing his campaign manager. Ethan Ready told Seven Days that his last day with the Spaulding campaign is July 15. Buzzsaw, son of Chainsaw Liz, has landed a full-time organizing job with the Vermont State Employees Association. "I wish he wasn't going," said Spaulding. "The timing isn't perfect for me, but for him it's an opportunity he shouldn't pass up." Spaulding, who faces Ed Flanagan in the primary, has picked up the endorsements of all four of Vermont's Democrat governors: Phil Hoff, Tom Salmon, Madeleine Kunin and Howard Dean.

The current female darling of the right wing, Ann Coulter, unloaded on Vermont's U.S. Senate delegation Monday during a brief interview on local talk radio. Coulter is the author of the current No. 1 best-seller, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right. Proving no slouch at slander, Ms. Coulter called U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords "a half-wit," and poohpoohed the significance of his courageous departure from the Republican Party last year. Hey, it only shifted the balance of power in America, Ann! When the incredulous host, Mark Johnson (WDEV/ WKDR), asked her about the fact that Jeffords' defection elevated U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy to the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Ms. Slander replied that Leahy's Adelphia Update — Like chairmanship has been "a disasWorldCom and Enron, ter."

j Curses, Foiled Again Daniel Fornash dug up a marijuana plant that he had grown in the front yard of a vacant house in Canton, Ohio, and was carrying it home when he remarked to a passer-by, "Would you believe I'm walking down the street in the middle of the day with this pot plant?" The passer-by responded, "Would you believe I'm a cop?" He identified himself as Detective Joe Mongold and cited Fornash for misdemeanor cultivation and possession of marijuana.

Science to the Rescue Hong Kong researchers Jintu Fan and Yisong Chen announced they have created a mannequin that perspires. Intended to help clothes designers develop more comfortable military clothing, sportswear and even spacesuits, the dummy is filled with pipes containing heated water and has three layers of custom-built skin. "The top layer allows water to pass through, while the bottom layer is water-resistant," said Fan, associate professor at the Institute of Textiles and Clothing at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. "The middle layers control the perspiration process by only allowing water to pass through in vapor form." • Traffic engineers, anticipating that drivers will be confused by

a 9-mile elevated, reversiblelanes bridge connecting Brandon and Tampa, Florida, scheduled to open in 2004, announced they will install a giant net to snare errant vehicles. The device, similar to equipment used on aircraft carriers to prevent landing planes from overshooting the carrier deck, will- feature two metal cables with heavy-duty meshing in between. Named the Dragnet, it will be deployed as a last-resort measure for cars that ignore signs warning them of oncoming traffic and break through two railroad-style cross-

The Write Stuff Todd Warren, 42, a Sunday school teacher at Prairie Oak Community Church in Andover, Minnesota, was sentenced to a month on work release for asking a 16-year-old boy to write "WTiat would Jesus do?" on his penis. According to court papers, Warren told the

The gun fired, fatally shooting Patterson in the chest. "He had been trained not to role play with real guns," sheriff's Sgt. Clarence Huber said. "That's something that's taught in the academy, that's something you just do not do."

Pork Products McDonalds announced it is testing a Spam breakfast entree at its 78 restaurants in Hawaii, where the pork-parts luncheon

meat is already popular for lunch and dinner. The Spam platter, costing $2.69, consists of low-salt Spam, scrambled eggs and rice. • Suzanne Vasquez, 47, turned down a $75,000 offer from Wal-Mart to settle her claim that a 13-pound country ham caused her to develop epilepsy when it fell on her head after she reached to inspect it while shopping, confident that she would be awarded the $500,000 she sought. Instead, she receivednothing when the jury in Bradenton, Florida, ruled in favor of Wal-Mart. "I'm still in shock," Vasquez said. • An Australian court awarded $34,817 (U.S.) to Troy Michael Bowron, 25, who claimed that he broke his arm while playing pool at the Jannali Inn in Sydney when he slipped on a greasy bar floor caused by a patron who wore pork chops for shoes. Ross Lucock told the New South Wales District Court that he taped the meat to his feet when the bar staff refused to serve him because he wasn't wearing shoes. Judge Anthony Puckeridge cleared Lucock of any responsibility for the accident and ruled that the inn was negligent for failing to clean up Lucock's greasy trail.

Field of Screams Police in Calgary, Alberta, arrested nine people after a brawl between croquet and soft-

ball players in which three men were hospitalized. "For whatever reason, the two groups got into a verbal argument, which turned into a fistfight, and then they began hitting each other with wooden croquet mallets," Detective Dean Vegso said, adding, "I didn't realize croquet was a contact sport."

Disappearing Act Fast-food restaurants have begun rationing, shrinking and even hiding napkins to combat customer misuse, which is significantly affecting profits, according to the Wall Street Journal. Besides ordering smaller, thinner paper napkins, some chains have moved dispensers from tables to counters beside the cash register to discourage customers from taking too many or resorted to overstuffing dispensers to make it harder to remove more than one napkin at a time. According to Georgia-Pacific Corp., the nation's biggest supplier of restaurant napkins, 43 percent of people "pinch a wad" of napkins. Many go unused and wind up in the trash or on the floor. Meanwhile, Georgia-Pacific and Kimberly-Clark have developed napkin dispensers modeled after paper towel dispensers that release one towel at a time. The napkin makers claim the new dispensers will reduce napkin use by up to 30 percent. ®

ust about every summer weekend brings some event or festival to town. From the Fishing Derby to the Latino Festival to the Chew-Chew, I love 'em all. People out and about in large numbers means taxi fares — it's that simple. The Jazz Festival was great this year, as it seems to be every year. Music filled the air and throngs of people ' jammed the streets. 1 I was in my element, pushing the hack long into the night and making money. Sometime post-midnight on the Pine Street corner, a slight man in a shiny sportscoat flagged me for a ride. H e looked like he'd gone to seed. I His oily black hair was plastered in all the wrong directions, and his five o'clock shadow had progressed to a 1 dark pall that brought to mind the low-grade gangsters in an old film noir. Still, he seemed full of beans as he approached the taxi. "Think you can give me a ride, buddy?" he asked. "That's pretty much what I do for a living," I replied. "Where ya headed?" "Fairfield Inn." "Let's do it," I said, and he hopped in the front seat. "This is a great town," he said, as we got underway towards Winooski. "I've heard so many hot bands tonight I can't believe it. Is it like this every night?" I was about to make a joke, thinking he was joking, but then I glanced to my side and realized the guy was genuinely clueless.

We began the long decline down Colchester Avenue, passing the graveyard and the Ira Allen m o n u m e n t . Every time I go by here I try to remember — is he or is he not buried at the monument?

SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE: Robin Walsh as Beth and Michael Mendelson as Tom revisit happier times pie, they may not be as honest. Works like Dinner with Friends are less likely to be performed since America began worrying more about terrorists and less about the crisis of middleclass contentment. In its original production, the play rode the

we root for Gabe and Karen, because — as we discover — they are sacrificing satisfying sex and honesty for the sake of their children? In one of the play's most crushing moments, Gabe tells Tom about how his kids play with Legos - they build an enormous structure and then, without pausing to revel in their genius, violently destroy it. To see his own children recklessly

characters are so human. Their silences are hollow and wrenching. Their words are sometimes careless, their flaws formidable. They are so remarkably like us — the audience — that by the second act, their witty one-liners have lost much of their humor. By the time the curtain drops, all comedy is gone. We're left with two survivors facing the uncertain future of a tired, unexamined love. ©

Michael Badamo is not a household name in Vermont politics. But his comings and goings have been visible for years on the local Montpeculiar scene. He's intelligent and thoughtful and believes the Progressive Party, officially a "major" party like the R's and the D s, must have a candidate for the top spot "so the little guy has someone to vote for." In a Seven Days interview, it was apparent Michael's political views are perfectly in sync with the Prog message. But he's got a problem. A big problem. Badamo is an outsider in a party that is tightly controlled by a core group of insiders. Folks like Pollina, Martha Abbott of Underhill, the party's state chair, union organizer Ellen David Friedman, Chris Pearson, who's taken a leave as party director to run Pollina's campaign for Gov-Lite, and the infamous Self-Righteous Brothers: former Burlington State Reps. Dean Corren and Terry Bouricius. On its Web site, the Progressive Party bills itself as the "fastest growing" political party in Vermont. And you will find plenty of information about Mr. Pollina, including his mug. But you won't find a mention about the only Progressive Party member in Vermont who's running for governor. "Party central is hostile," said Mr. Badamo. "I've been trying to argue for party unity, but they won't allow it." In fact, he said, he's heard there may be a move afoot to write-in Bernie Sanders' name in the Progressive gubernatorial primary. Badamo said that if Bernie were to win on a writein and then refuse the nomination (which he surely would), the Progressive Party would be left with no candidate for governor on the November ballot. Bye-bye, Badamo! During a recent interview at Montpelier's farmers' market, Badamo gave his analysis of Vermont's "fastest growing" political party. "There are Communist Progressives and Libertarian Progressives," he explained. The Communist types, he said, "want to control everything." The Libertarian types "don't want to control things. I'm a Libertariantype," said the soft-spoken Badamo. Despite the ice-cold reception he's received from the Progressive elite, Badamo told Seven Days this week he's staying in the governor's race. "I'm plugging away. I'm still here. I'm still campaigning," he said. "I haven't dropped out, but I can't say I'm picking up steam." As for Tony the Phony, have you noticed the way Mr. Pollina has been cozying up to Republican Brian Dlibie? Apparently he's following the principle that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Pollina recently teamed up with Doobie-Do to blame Democrat Peter Shumlin for not agreeing to a spending cap in the Gov-Lite race. How quickly Pollina forgets that Doobie-Do was Ruthless Ruth Dwyer's running mate in the last election. In reality, Anthony has about as much in

common with Brian Dubie as he has with George W. Bush. Apparently, Pollina's only goal in campaigning this year is to replicate Ralph Nader's presidential campaign and deny victory to a Democrat. "It's unfortunate," said Shumlin, "because Anthony and I agree on almost every issue." As it stands, Pollina is the best weapon the Dubie Campaign has in its arsenal. Way to go, Tony! Bye-Bye Carina — More bad news for the "fastest-growing" political party in the Green Mountains. State Rep. Carina Driscoll (P-Burlington), one of four Progs serving in the Legislature, tells Seven Days she has received a legal opinion from the attorney general's office, and the news is not good. Carina's legislative district in Burlington's Old North End disappeared under reapportionment. She had been eyeing the possibility of moving a few blocks and running in the two-seat district of Democrat John Tracy and Prog Steve Hingtgen. However, the AG's office told her, she'd have to live there for a year first before being eligible to run. Carina represents something the Proggies desperately need — younger blood. Without her, the "fastest growing" party loses 25 percent of its legislative delegation. Clean Water? — The recent wet weather prompted beach closings in Burlington. Ch. 3 even went live at six o'clock from Oakledge Park when the beaches were reopened. ... , But what everyone missed was the fact that South Burlington's Red Rocks Beach on Shelburne Bay remained closed to swimmers. And the source of the contamination was Potash Brook, the struggling stream that winds through South Burlington carrying with it stormwater run-off from shopping center parking lots and highways. South Burlington recently completed a study of the sources of Potash Brook pollution and identified five major sources, including the Price Chopper lot on Shelburne Road. When it pours, everything gets washed down the drain into the brook. (Incidentally, University Mall was not on the list. That's because the mall has its own stormwater treatment facility.) The Price Chopper shopping center is owned by Pomerleau Real Estate. Ernie Pomerleau is also chairman of the board of the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation. At the GBIC's recent annual meeting, Ernie was effusive in his praise for the new stormwater legislation that's made so many developers smile. The GBIC even handed out leadership awards to 15 legislators for jobs well done. Pomerleau acknowledged his shopping centers untreated stormwater is dumped directly into Potash Brook. "We know we need to do something," he said. The reason Ernie hasn't done anything so far, he explained, was because he's been waiting for South Burlington to complete its study. That explains it, eh? ® E-mail Peter at InsideTrackVT@aol.com

STRANGE LOVE Burlington cowboys The Red H e a d e d Strangers are headed to the City of Brotherly Love. The group's first jaunt out of Vermont is for the purpose of headlining — actually, they're the only band playing — a down-home Philadelphia block party this Saturday. According to event organizer David Pitone, the Pemberton Street Party closes off part of the "Queen Village" and turns it into a gigantic outdoor bash. The area occupies one of the older sections of the city, with approximately 300 homes dating back to the 1800s. Along with contests and prizes, the Philly folk will be treated to blistering country-rock courtesy of the Strangers. According to guitarist/vocalist Benjamin James, the band was contacted by Pitone — brother of Strangers guitarist Rob Pitone — and asked to participate. "We all said 'hell, yes,'" reports James, "and it kind of came out afterwards that we were the only group playing." Turns out the Strangers will be both musical accompaniment and MCs of the festival, playing four sets and running the contests. Along with rhythm guitarist Brian McGarry, bassist John W a l t e r Partlow, drummer Ryan Lecky and banjoist Johnny 0, the group will pack themselves and their equipment into a caravan of cars for the trip. "Yeah, we have wives, girlfriends and dogs as roadies," says James with a laugh. The hundreds of revelers expected at the festival will far surpass the band's previous audiences, so they are understandably excited. "For once in our lives we all pulled our shit together," James says. "We just have to be able to make it back to work on Monday. Oh, and hope that it doesn't rain."

M 0 S H PARK? Rutland's Main St. Park isn't exactly CBGB's, but for the second year in a row it will host the hottest gig in town, the Punk in the Park music festival. This year, Class Clown, Battling Seizure

Robots, Dead By Dawn, Average Joe, The Foodstamps, My Revenge and We Can Not Serve will kick off a raucous weekend sure to wake up the 'hood. While the lineup is almost identical to that of every other punk show held in the Champlain Valley in the past six months, this one is, well, outside. Additional perks include all-ages admission and free entry. If that isn't reason enough to pull out the hair dye and hit the park, we just don't know what is. The tunes begin at 5:30, so bring your studded picnic basket and settle in to party like it's 1977. DIY WILL NEVER DIE Speaking of punk, nobody in town can hold a candle to the do-it-yourself spirit of Big Heavy World, the local-scene Web site and enterprise that's constantly going out of its way for local musicians and fans. Backed by donations from Jager Di Paola Kemp Design, Sonique and others, Big Heavy is now out-

Wax Gregor, Al Nementhy and Irving Rabin logged countless hours putting the database together. Good work, fellow music junkies! DO GOOD DEPT. An all-day music festival especially for the kiddies? That's right, for the third consecutive year, the Tailwag Jamboree will provide entertainment for the tots and their accompanying grownups. This Saturday, the festival will be held at the Lamoille County Field Day grounds in Johnson. Expect jazz, folk, blues and country from The

Dave Keller Band, Biggie & the Blues Busters, New Country Echoes, Oleo Romeos, Jethro Money and Intertwine. The event will also offer a petting zoo, auction and snacks, and will benefit the Lamoille Family Center. Cost of entry is $10 a carload. For info, call 888-5229. SINGLE TRACKS O n e of the world's finest hip-hop turntablists, DJ Z-Trip, graced the stage at Club Metronome last Tuesday for a one-night-only gig. Set up by Gravis Footwear, Z-Trip was added as a special guest at local DJ A-Dog's weekly "Beats & Pieces" gig. Unfortunate only for the last-minute booking and low level of publicity, the appearance nonetheless added some serious cred to the local hiphop scene . . . Vermont's honky-tonk renegades The Starline Rhythm Boys are in the great Midwest this week, playing at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay, Wisconsin, as part of the "Rockin' '50s Festival." Billed as the "world's largest show of rockabilly stars," the weeklong fest features performances by nearly 100 artists . . . Local popsters Salad Days are in the middle of a stint opening for The Samples. The "Island Leg" of the tour takes the bands to Block Island, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Not a bad vacation, er, tour . . . The Seth Y a c O V O n e Band are also currently across the water... in Europe. Based just outside Milan, the blues-rockers have been traipsing through the Alps to and from gigs in Italy and Switzerland. Sounds rough. ®

STEPH PAPPAS, 3 WISHES (Guitar Girl, CD) — A truck driver by trade and a rock 'n' roll chick with a folk heart, Steph Pappas uses the experiences of her rambling life to concoct twisting, naked songs of love and the open road. A guitar-slinging outlaw devilish enough to have once been dubbed the "female Jimi Hendrix," the Burlington-based Pappas can also unfold the intricate poetics of the highway.

a tradition of simple elegance

On her second disc, 3 Wishes, Pappas steps back from blistering guitar theatrics and throws on the cowgirl boots to produce a collection of subtle, impassioned Americana. Primarily built around acoustic guitar, trumpet and violin, 3 Wishes is an interesting take on traditional folk and singer-songwriter fare. "Sommerville Maria" opens the disc with five minutes of her acoustic guitar and violin by Professor Fairbanks that grows slowly, fed by a gusty, warm trumpet played by Jennifer Larsen. Pappas snaps and grabs at the strings of her guitar as the tune seeps through the speakers in a calm haze. After the instrumental section, Pappas' gruff mumble, "kick start, feeling bold," snaps the sleepy lament into the sputtering mountain folk of "Maria." "Ye Hay," Pappas says obliquely, "You gotta love a girl with the name Maria." "Yer Cowboy" is a lonesome country tune slowed from honky-tonk pump to honey-slow folk. As the song fades, Pappas' mangled yodel both mocks and claws at the romanticism of the Wild West. "Hoping, searching, gold will find its way to your heart," she yearns. "Val" is a tomboy anthem about a girl looking for salvation from baseball, rodeo and driving garbage trucks. All skittering violin and Pappas' "fight for your individuality" vocals, the tune concludes with the lonely yet somehow victorious couplet, "Val says when girls ask me to dance/I feel like the grandest, coolest boy in this man's world." 3 Wishes continues with smoky images and searching. The sun rises and falls, and still questions ring into the cluttered air of night. An album wrought with confusion, 3 Wishes is no introverted turn from the world. Behind Pappas' vocals and six-string, behind the icy violin and liquid trumpet there lies a dedicated, steel-strong call to arms to all those fucked-up drifters and longing dreamers. Hit the road, boys and girls. Drive trucks, find some scratchy radio station to inject you with the sounds of the country, and remember it all. You'll be changed, Pappas seems to say in this idiosyncratic call of the wild heart. Pappas celebrates her release with a party this Saturday at 135 Pearl.

THE JOE DAVIDIAN TRIO, JD3: LIVE AT THE FLYNN SPACE (self-released, CD) — There's something refreshing about a jazz trio featuring just drums, bass and piano. Without other instruments like the sax or horn fighting for their piece of the musical action, there's room to stretch out and just go with the flow. It's, a formula that works well for East Montpelier pianist Joe Davidian, as illustrated in this concert recording from last August at the FlynnSpace. Davidian starts this series of jazz standards with "I Should Care," a song tackled previously by pianist McCoy Tyner of the John Coltrane Quartet. The easy interplay between Davidian, bassist John Rivers and percussionist Gabe Jarrett is immediately evident. Rivers really gets going on the next track, a Brazilian classic called "Gentle Rain." It may be a mild-weather event, but the threesome seems intent on chronicling the intensity of every drop. Davidian gracefully manages a number of fluid tempo changes, milking this one for all it's worth. On "Sweet Lorraine," a 1928 standard also covered by Nat King Cole, Chet Baker, Stan Getz and Louis Armstrong, Davidian goes it alone and shows that he needs no supporting cast. "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning," made famous by Rosemary Clooney and Frank Sinatra, is a quiet counterpoint to a number of more spirited songs. Among the most rollicking of the bunch is Cole Porter's "What is This Thing Called Love?" JD3's version is fast, furious and fun. Possibly the most challenging song here is the Beatles classic, "In My Life," but not for its difficulty. The problem is that covering pop-rock songs in the jazz medium runs the risk of sounding like Muzak. But any Beatles fan would have to enjoy hearing this one in an elevator. Jarrett and Rivers add a jaunty funk swing not found in the original, and Davidian liberally adds a number of his own nuances. For all these successful reinterpretations of existing songs, perhaps the best track here is one composed by Davidian himself. "Dance of the Gypsies" is driven by the uptempo aggression of Davidian and Jarrett, who find a way to cooperate and compete for your attention at the same time. Even Rivers, who is a bit buried in the mix, is working away furiously on the bass, to great effect. JD3 return to Vermont this Friday with a show at the Barre Opera House. Each band member is an alumnus of the University of Miami, including new drummer Austin McMahon. If this CD from last year's Flynn show is any indication, it should be well worth checking out. — Kirt Zimmer

Manhattan-based guitarist/songwriter Dave Cantor and vocalist Kelly Flint exhibit a slow-burning chemistry that fills each tune with a complex and passionate atmosphere. This Saturday, DTS bring their sultry vocals and stirring guitar work to the Burlington Coffeehouse. Singer-songwriter Richard Julian opens.

Words to

"La Pareja (The Pair)," by Anne Gilman B Y M A R C AWODEY

ll the paintings of New York artist Anne Gilman are probably very meaningful — to her. Her exhibition at Church & Maple Gallery is entitled "Ni sano, ni salvo — Not Safe, Not Sound," and the 19 mixed-media pieces in the show are full of signs, symbols and passages of prose. Gilman's lines have character, she has interesting technical ideas and her simple use of color is in fact quite sophisticated. From a purely formal perspective, it's an engaging show. However, there is a problem. Gilman's work appears to contain important narrative content, but she doesn't let viewers know what the content is. That conceptual bias makes some of the work seem pretentiously oblique, or at least overly enigmatic. Gilman's pieces are generally limited to just a few basic shapes and colors — black, white, red and yellow in paint and drawing media. "One Sunny Day" is an aggregation of nine small canvases arranged in a square, and each of the canvasses contains one ideographic image. An "ideograph" is a character, symbol or figure that represents a concept without phonetically spelling out any singular meaning. Most of Gilman's pieces are full of these ideographs. In the central square of "One Sunny Day" is an egg shape populated by pieces of collaged pink and yellow paper. To the left of that image is a canvas containing a rectangle filled with concentric lines. There are also figurative panels — a pair of legs, a torso, more egg shapes. But what does "One Sunny Day" signify? Definitely more than a sunny day, but the viewer is left to guess. Specificity is apparently not one of Gilman's concerns. "Contra El Mai De Ojo (Against the Evil Eye)" plays the same game on a grander scale. It consists of 50 9-by-9-inch canvasses assembled into a long rectangle. Many of these canvases contain tiny passages of illegible cursive, giving the effect of journal pages. Canvasses with bits of red in them are grouped on the left side of the

50-canvas grid, and canvasses with yellow are on the right. Gilman often collages canvas onto canvas, and the ideographs in "Contra El Mai De Ojo" include triangles, vessel forms and a left hand with fingers outstretched, reminiscent of cave paintings and kindergarten classrooms. However, as in "One Sunny Day," there is no Rosetta Stone among the canvasses to translate the meaning of the ideographs. The largest single piece in the exhibition is "La Pareja (The Pair)." It is also one of the more successful. The 4-by-5-foot canvas has a pair of forms side by side. At left is a vessel form that might also be a neck and shoulders, and to the right is a vertical rectangle with another rectangle inside it. The core of the latter form consists of waves of cursive text. The scale of "La Pareja" enables Gilman's text to also function as visual texture, contrasting the larger fields. In addition, the text flattens the picture plane, enabling the two opposing forms to inhabit the space with greater tension. There are collaged bits of paper around the upper half of the forms, and they seem to repeat the function of the text while breaking up the negative space. "Opposing Forces" is a much purer statement. Again, the cursive functions as texture rather than text, and Gilman's image is wonderfully tense. In that piece red lines are played against black lines of similar weight and convex curves are laid over concave ones. Without symbols or signs, it speaks volumes in the visceral language of abstraction. There is nothing disingenuous about the work. Exhibitions should make sense without requiring viewers to wade through the usual verbiage of artist statements, previous reviews and other suspect texts. That kind of supporting information is sometimes helpful in expanding on the artist's ideas, but the ideas should be selfevident in the art. "Opposing Forces" is flawless and makes this show worth seeing. Compared to the ideographic-based pieces such as "Contra El Mai De Ojo," it expresses the most. ®

Ram Dass was also always exceedingly bright. Beginning with his precocious childhood in a wellheeled New England Jewish family, Richard Alpert was destined for conventional success. That all changed when he joined forces with Leary, whose "openness to new ideas and his willingness to take wild risks in thinking" made him a stimulating colleague. Had the pair merely stuck to wild thinking, they might not have been fired from the university in 1963. But by that time, their experiments with acid — designed to combat recidivism among prisoners and to help divinity students see God — had breached the boundaries of scientific inquiry. Ram Dass tells the filmmaker his own intake of hallucinogens became tiresome, especially because of the inevitable drop after a drug

High Times: The Doors of Perception, the title of a book Aldous Huxley wrote after taking mescaline in the 1950s, is a term that perfectly describes any exploration of human consciousness. Rocker Jim Morrison could dig it. So could Richard Alpert and Timothy Leary, Harvard University psychologists who began stepping through those doors with Huxley in 1961 as fellow travelers on numerous LSD trips. Morrison died in 1971, the same year Alpert — by then renamed Baba Ram Dass by an Indian guru — published Be Here Now, the countercultures guide to all things transcendental. Director Oliver Stone memorialized the Lizard King in a 1991 feature film, The Doors. Ram Dass Fierce Grace, opening this weekend at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier, is Mickey Lemles fascinating, touching 2001 documentary about a man whose wise perceptions have inspired generations of fellow spiritual seekers.

In his personal break-onthrough-to-the-other-side experience, Ram Dass almost reached the end when he suffered a major stroke in 1997. Though he still battles partial paralysis and difficul-

— which means "servant of God" in Hindi. "I was bathed in love and, because he knew everything about me, I was forgiven," remembers the American, while sitting in a wheelchair at his home in California's Marin County. "It was so beautiful." His Himalayan sojourn proved to be transformative. "I came into a culture that recognized spirit," Ram Dass recalls. "When I went to India, my method was psychedelic. When I came back, it was inside me." Some of the funniest archival material in Fierce Grace centers on Ram Dass' return to the United States in the early 1970s. His bestselling Be Here Now enchanted hippies, who are seen gathering by the hundreds for mass meditations on the three-hole golf course of the Alpert family's New Hampshire

for coping with death and grief. The film, which strangely fails to mention that Ram Dass is an openly gay man, observes his often painful physical therapy sessions. His faith had been tested by the stroke, he acknowledges, "and it was a cold, cold place." But there is poignant rebirth, evident when a young woman named Abby visits Ram Dass, looking for answers. Her activist boyfriend Terrence — recently killed while working with indigenous people in Colombia — has appeared in a dream. She asked Terrence if it would ever be okay to move on, Abby recounts, and he assured her: "When you find that love, I'm a part of it." Ram Dass looks thunderstruck. "Yum, yum, yum," he remarks, in what seems to be a stroke victim's equivalent of "yes, yes, yes." He

MEN AT WORK Smith and Jones reteam for a sequel that misses the mark.

THE P0WERPUFF GIRLS MOVIE*** MEN IN BLACK II** Along with the Goobers and Milk Duds, the cineplexes served up a heaping helping of eye candy this past weekend. Sound and fury seldom signify less than they do at the movies in the summertime, and I'm fairly sure the season just reached the apex of its vacancy. At least the makers of The Powerpuff Girls Movie don't pretend their contribution to the culture is anything but kid stuff. The big-screen debut of the popular Cartoon Network series does little besides provide the uninitiated with a bit of back story on the trio of saucer-eyed supertoddlers. When an absent-minded bachelor scientist who yearns for a brood decides to whip up a batch of little girls, he accidentally stirs a dash of Chemical X into the formula — sugar, spice and everything nice, naturally. The result: Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, three pint-sized cutie-pies who make up in attitude and superpowers what they lack in fingers. They go up against their usual foe, a maniacal, power-lusting monkey by the nonsensical name of Mojo Jojo. This time around, the sinister simian tries to destroy the girls' hometown of — what else? —Townsville and the high-flying junior femme fatales zoom to its rescue. What the movie lacks in story it more than makes up for in cheeky wit and striking retro style. As overseen by director and series creator Craig McCracken, the old-fashioned hand-drawn animation offers a reminder that cool doesn't have to come from a computer. Its stars may be small, but the talent behind this production is convincingly big-time. Whereas the only thing big about M e n in Black II is the hype. Five years have passed since the original took audiences behind the closed doors of a super-secret government agency responsible for monitoring the actions of alien life forms living incognito on Earth. One might assume that suffi-

cient time has passed for director Barry Sonnenfeld and company to think up lots of wacky, eye-popping ways to top the first film. Surprisingly, though, the second is short not only in running time — an unblockbusterlike 88 minutes — but in energy and fresh ideas as well. You've seen the previews and interviews: The character played by Tommy Lee Jones has retired from active duty, had his memory neutralized and become a Cape Cod postmaster. The character played by Will Smith has to talk him into returning to work because Lara Flynn Boyle is running around in her underwear shooting snakes out of her fingertips and poses an ill-defined threat to the fate of humankind. OK, Lara Flynn Boyle running around in her underwear is a very good idea. Unfortunately, the picture otherwise disappoints. Less a fleshed-out film than a succession of gags and computer effects, the sequel covers familiar ground with few new twists. Frank, the tough-talking pug from the original, sings "WTio Let the Dogs Out," those wisecracking worms from the employee lounge are now wisecracking worms with their own apartment and, once again, Tony Shalhoub's head gets blown off and grows back. Smith and Jones blast those big guns that look like shiny vacuum cleaners and, every once in a while, a computer-generated alien makes an appearance. Five years ago, when effects like these were being created for the first time, they made for giddy, goofball fun. We've seen a lot of movies with a lot of effects since then, however. The makers of the movie really needed to come up with something more. They didn't. Instead, they were content to produce a picture whose purpose appears to be to remind us how much fun we had watching its predecessor. And, of course, to make them out-ofthis-world money. Living up to the original and the sequel's hype? Those were alien concepts. ®

Dear Cecil, The other night while my wife and I were having dinner with another couple, we got into a discussion about whether it was safe to let our two children, ages 12 and 11, ride public transportation. Drawing on my own experience riding buses and trains through some tough neighborhoods as a city kid, I maintained that it was reasonably safe if one took elementary precautions. The other dad remained agnostic, but the women were adamant that my childhood experiences were of no relevance — crime is far worse now, random violence is more common, "there's a lot of nuts out there, " etc. I argued that such fears were exaggerated, but without access to the facts the debate ended inconclusively. So tell me, Cecil — is the world, today really so much more dangerous than when we were kids? — Frank Caplice Chicago Sorry if this seems evasive, Frank, but it depends on when you were a kid. Some caveats before we get started: It's tough enough comparing basic crime statistics over long periods of time. I'm not even going to get into the question of whether public transportation is more or less dangerous than it used to be, or whether crime affecting children (as opposed to crime in general) has gone up or down. You also understand that at any given time the amount of crime varies greatly in different cities, in different neighborhoods, in the city versus the suburbs, for different socioeconomic groups, etc. That said, you see some interesting things when you compare current U.S. crime statistics with those of the past. A few scenarios: • You grew up in the '70s or later. The rate of violent crime (murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault) is about the same today as in the mid-'70s — about 500 crimes per 100,000 population. (I rely here on the FBI's uniform crime reports.) To be sure, there were fluctuations in the intervening years. Violent crime reached a peak in the early '90s, around 750 crimes per 100,000, then dropped sharply. However, the impact of the crime surge fell mostly on a narrow segment of the population, e.g., minorities in poor neighborhoods during the crack epidemic.

"JeRemy TAMES

KCCHALKR

According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice since 1972, the amount of crime experienced by white people was relatively constant through the early '90s and has dropped since. But black people experienced high rates of crime, particularly in the early '90s. White people may think things have got worse, but they're reacting to media hype, such as the baseless child-abduction scare of the mid-'80s. • You grew up in the '40s, '50s and early '60s. Different story. People who were children then recall a much more peaceful time than now, and it was. The violent crime rate in 1960 was under 200 per 100,000, less than 40 percent what it is today. Crime spiked upward around 1963 and increased rapidly during the late '60s and early '70s. For baby boomers — and your columnist confesses to being one — this accords closely with their perception of what happened during those years: Things started getting crazy after the Kennedy assassination, got worse during the urban riots of the late '60s and were seriously bad by the '70s. • You grew up in the '20s and '30s. This ones the most interesting of all. Comparing violent crime today with 70 to 80 years ago is problematic. Federal uniform crime reporting didn't begin until 1930 and was spotty at first. Reporting requirements and definitions have changed over the years. Many authorities believe that years ago violent crime was reported much less than it is today. The one crime statistic believed to be comparable over long periods of time is the homicide rate — people tend to report dead bodies. A chart of the homicide rate during the 20th century is striking. The rate was low at the turn of the century, then rose meteorically, peaking in the early 1930s. After that it fell, reaching a low in the '50s, then climbed again. By the early '70s it was the same as in the '30s — but no worse. After the early '90s it dropped again, and today it's about the same as in the mid-'60s. The murder rate doesn't exactly mirror the overall violent-crime rate, of course. Still, in some ways the '20s and '30s were as dangerous as now. In contrast, the late '40s to early '60s were a golden era, safer than most decades before or since. — CECIL ADAMS

Quebecois folk songs conjure up some interesting characters: a wailing corpse; a farmer's daughter who lands in the hospital after eating too many peas; a lady whose small shoes have made her feet sore. T h e Canadian trio Matapat serves up these and other traditional tunes in the first of the three-part M o u n t Independence Chamber Concerts. W i t h Gaston Bernard on strings, Simon Lepage on bass and Benois Bourque playing squeeze box, and step dancing, the evening promises as much French-Canadian flavor as a heaping plate of pontine.

Yo, dudes and dudettes, time to hit the sand and check out the phatty Beach Barbecue where the music rocks, the folks are queer-friendly and, if you don't dig the beef, there's plenty of veggie fare to go around.

RHOMBUS GALLERY, BURLINGTON, 7:30 P.M., FRIDAY, JULY 5. Nick Fox has a blocky figure and a jock demeanor. He's a sports fan, he tells the audience, but until his senior year in high school he was a small and fragile kid. "Awwwi" squeals a young woman in the front. "You don't have to say that," says Fox, earning chuckles. " I ' m OK now. Really." Then he launches into a poem about sports, propelling his entire body across the small Rhombus Gallery stage. He gushes a deluge of words so fast that it takes a few seconds for all his witty turns of phrase to sink in. "And now a word from our sponsors!" he calls out. "Drink this beer and you will get beautiful women!" Fox's energy is infectious: The audience calls out, claps and, best of all, laughs. Then the Slam itself begins and the amateurs take the stage. They read scrawled verses from little slips of paper or bound notebooks. One bearded guy with long, greasy hair tells a random story — it sounds like an angst-filled adolescent essay — then finishes with the '60s-era admonition: "Be here now." The audience listens patiently, even to the poets who have more attitude than talent. After all, if you stand in front of strangers and bare your soul, the least you deserve is an open ear and an approving grin. Listening to boisterous wordsmithing on a rainy night, there's plenty of reason to be here. — Robert Isenberg

ology

July 1 1 - 1 7

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): I'm not sure what to make of the strange and wonderful abilities you'll be expressing in the coming week. You could temporarily lose your self-control in a most productive way. You might summon a hauntingly beautiful meditation on grace while cleaning a toilet, or make a dizzy plea that actually changes an intractable problem. Most tantalizing of all, Aries, you could prove my improvement on Rambo's old adage — "To survive war, you must become war" — which is: "To survive love, you must become love."

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): There's been more teasing than pleasing going on in your vicinity, Taurus; more bluffing and waffling than getting to the point. I know you'd prefer to put an end to this nonsense with a simple, direct intervention, but consider this: A bit of counter-subterfuge may be the only approach that will defuse the subterfuge. Here are some tips: Learn more about the power of unpredictability by studying 5-yearolds and Scorpios. Be politely skeptical of anyone who is acting nice as a way to avoid being real. Never take "maybe" for an answer; insist on the magic of crisp, clear choices.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Shun coloring books and microwave popcorn this week, Gemini. Avoid one-size-fits-all overalls and talking heads that spout demagogic cliches. Don't even think about squeezing yourself into pigeonholes, cubicles or itchy niches. And if you have any say in how you'll be tested on your brandnew life skills, refuse to answer multiple-choice questions. What's my reasoning here? Well, your future self is depending on you to be wild and free as you explore the untapped potentials of your richest idiosyncrasies.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Born and raised in a small town in Poland, my great-grandmother Elizabeth birthed a child out of wed-

lock at age 16. The father was a sea captain of royal blood who died soon thereafter. Two years later, Elizabeth took her young child, my grandmother, and emigrated to America as a single mother. She settled in Detroit, where she became a social powerhouse in the Polish-American community while living with a man she never married. During the times I spent with her as a child, she struck me as a feisty, plainspoken crone with a will of steel. This week I will be celebrating her life. I'll honor her pioneering spirit and give thanks for the maverick genes she bequeathed me. If you want to be in tune with astrological forces, fellow Cancerian, you'll follow my example. It's a perfect moment for us Crabs to deepen our relationships with the ancestors who helped make us who we are. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Joshua trees, native to the Mojave Desert, are both hardy and delicate. While they may live as long as 10 centuries, their flowers blossom just one night each year and can only be pollinated by the Yucca moth. At this moment, Leo, you remind me of a Joshua tree. Very soon, there will be a brief window of opportunity for you to be psychically fertilized, and you will need a specific agent to do the job. If all conditions are right, a blessed awakening will occur. Even if the beauty that sprouts is visible for just a short time, its effects will last for years.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every now and then, a week comes along that shakes you to your foundations with revelations of the divine purpose behind all your life's adventures. This is probably not one of those weeks, but it may be foreplay for one. As many sweaty geniuses have discovered, adroit breakthroughs frequently follow long, tedious attention

to detail. And as many God-drunk converts have found, a brave confrontation with one's guilty conscience can often be the trigger for a cathartic religious experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mantras are spiritually potent phrases that are supposed to purify and uplift those who chant them. The magic is said to work even if the devotee doesn't understand the words. So, for example, it's not necessary to know that the Sanskrit "Om Namaha Shivaya" is sometimes translated as "I honor the Divine within," or "Salutations to that which I am capable of becoming." With all due respect to the ancient tradition, I propose that we expand the concept by creating mantras in our native tongues. Here's one that's a perfect fit for your current astrological needs, Libra: "It's finally my turn, dammit." I urge you to speak, whisper or bellow that mantra hundreds of times in the coming week, preferably in conjunction with "Om Namaha Shivaya." Use these words of power to build up your confidence that it's high time for you to claim your fair share.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The best science-fiction show on T V is "Farscape." John Crichton stars as an astronaut from Earth who has been accidentally flung to the far reaches of the galaxy during a chance encounter with a wormhole. His predicament has a resemblance to yours, Scorpio, wouldn't you say? Like him, fortunately, you're making the most of your wayward adventure. There's another parallel. "I'm the reverse King Arthur," Crichton brags at one point, oozing self-deprecating humor. "I can put the sword back into the stone." I advise you Scorpios to do something similar: Return the magical you-knowwhat to where it came from. A few

weeks from now, you can circle back and retrieve it. At that time, you'll be primed to take full advantage of the power you're not yet ready to use.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): It's a good time to brainstorm about fund-raising strategies with a cute venture capitalist in Tahiti; or to slink around Web-based matchmaking services looking for an emotionally intelligent millionaire to accompany you on a vision quest to a sacred sanctuary; or to wear sexy underwear made from hemp silk as you meditate on your romantic and financial future in a bungalow on a beach in the south of France. In other words, Sagittarius, your luck will be electric any time you blend travel with love, or love with money or money with travel. If you can combine travel and love and money in the same adventure, your luck may be downright supernatural.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Welcome to "What's My Deepest Longing?" I'm your host, Rob Brezsny, and I'm pleased that you've decided to play our game. To begin, place yourself in a comfortable position and let all the tension drain out of your beautiful body. When you are amazingly relaxed, allow your mind's eye to fill up with images of the experiences that move you to tears and laughter. I am not talking about your wishy-washy wishes or mediocre pleasures or half-assed distractions. Rather, I mean the primal dreams that shimmer and hum at the roots of your soul. Name them. Entertain and nourish them. Give them license to unleash their raw and secret truths.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Novelist Mario Vargas Llosa has written a how-to book called Letters to a Young Novelist. In it, he takes on the

? role of a mentor speaking to a novice, revealing the storytelling techniques he has worked long Ipind hard to master. At the end of his dissertation he pulls a little prank. "[Now] forget everything you've read in my letters," he says, and "just sit down and write." I'd like you to apply Vargas Llosa's method to a certain skill you're beginning to master, Aquarius. Study everything that has been written by experts who've come before you. Then empty yourself of their load of wisdom and tackle your joyful discipline with a fresh, innocent mind.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): I recently went to a party that celebrated the 35th anniversary of San Francisco's Summer of Love. The invitation suggested that we wear "discerning exotica." There were, therefore, no hippie love beads or tie-dyed bell-bottoms. Platform sneakers and inflatable Sumo wrestler costumes were also absent, as were rainbow fright wigs and pink drag queen hot pants. Instead, elegant outrageousness prevailed. I saw an ankle-length gold and black robe fit for an African chieftain, a tunic of crimson feathers that called to mind a Peruvian shaman, and a replica of what fashionable men wore in London in the 1890s. I offer this vignette to you, Pisces, because the astrological omens suggest that "discerning exotica" is the perfect keynote for you in the coming week. Be mysteriously outlandish as you exude understated poise.

Lola the love counselor Dear Lola, I've just received notice of my 30th high school reunion. It's in a distant city and taking place at a very inconvenient time tor me, and I had no intention of attending. But I couldn't resist perusing the list of alumni who have registered tor the event. Among them is "Bella," the girl who took my virginity, taught me the ways of the world, and engaged me in a hot-and-heavy, on-again-offagain affair throughout cur high school years. The affair ended badly and I'm now very happily and faithfully married to a wonderful woman with whom I have four terrific children, everything in my life is peachy and I haven't thought of Bella in years. Much. But ever since I saw her name on that list, I've been trying to think of ways to make it to that reunion. Am I nuts? — Nostalgic in North Hero

Dear Nostalgic, Remind me again why you want to go? Or better yet, remind yourself. What exactly are you hoping will happen? A little footsy under the table? A quickie in the back seat of her mini-van? This woman is no longer the sexy 16-year-old you remember, and you are not a hormoneconsumed high schooler. If you must go, do bring your wife. And if the prospect of having her at your elbow dampens your desire to attend, save everyone involved a lot of embarrassment and expense and stay home. — Love, Lola
