POWER OF THE PRESS We at Spectrum just received some incredible news about our Just Youth program [“A Criminal Development,” June 4]. Your story described our work with young people throughout Chittenden County who have been arrested for crimes, and how through a restorative justice approach and family group conferencing we are able to achieve a positive outcome for all par ties concerned. At the time, our fund ing had ended and we were in the process o f winding down Just Youth. Today I learned that the Vermont Juvenile Justice Commission is award ing a $50,000 grant to SRS, which will pass these dollars through to Just Youth. W hile this is not the complete amount of money necessary for operat ing the program, it does give us enough to stay up and running. We have already started notifying judges and police; they are as thrilled as we are about this news. I am certain that your article, written by Ken Picard, had an influence on the Commission in their decision. Thank you again for the positive portrayal of what we are trying to accomplish for youth and families in this county.

ed carnage on Burlington’s streets. You have somewhat less than vividly por trayed, in a kind of pidgin legalese and apparently bravely forgoing the proof reading process, one o f the least sinis ter hazards of life in a small city. I’m sure we all agree that this was not exactly a wake-up call. But now that you have cast some light on one issue that is a little too obvious to spend any time thinking about, perhaps you could prepare equally gritty lectures on some other topics relevant to the dangers of mod ern life, such as stepping in gum, wrong-number dialers or cars that are parked slighdy askew. The residents of Burlington would owe a debt of gratitude indeed.

JEFFORDS STOOD ON PRINCIPLE Kevin Kelley’s article “Independent Thinking” [September 17] is a general ly fair discussion of the consequences o f Jim Jeffords’ decision to leave the Republican Party. Yet its perspective is limited, focusing largely on whether Jim’s decision was good, bad or indif ferent for Vermont. In my view, the true and lasting significance o f Jim Jeffords’ valiant move is to remind Vermonters and the nation that princi ple and nobility are not dead in American politics. There is a sizeable and not wholly unjustified dose of political cynicism abroad in our land. The stand Jim took was a healthy and all-too-rare antidote to that cynicism, and in both the short-run and the ” long-term, it will be'of more lasting import than an extra road here or another traffic light there. The “Thank You, Jim” bumper stickers may be fad ing, but the sentiments behind^hem are not. ...... .,*>//.■’ ■

HOP HYPE? I just wanted to write in and make a few comments regarding this year’s 11th annual Art Hop [“Calendar,” September 10]. First of all, I thought it was a stunning show. There was so much great artwork all in one small place. This type o f event is exactly what the city of Burlington and the surrounding areas need more of! f However, what the surrounding ardas do not need more of is art like Renee Picardo’s. I don’t know if any one at Seven Days witnessed this guy’s “art,” but it was a joke. I don’t care if he’s a famous artist from France or not!

ROCK ON Recently I visited Burlington, saw The Lestons perform at Nectars, bought their CD and read Ethan Coveys review of their debut album in the Aug. 27 issue of Seven Days [“Review This”]. Covey acknowledges, “... the kalei doscopic instrumentation and cleverly accented vocals,” but states “...differ ent styles and themes get dizzying... The Lestons lack a certain coherence.” To me the musical styles, from soft to driving crescendo, are creatively

refreshing, and I hear several coherent themes. “Madrid” and “Squirrel” speak of fear and disease, certainly appropri ate today. Love themes can be heard in “89S;” “Into A Monkey,” “Nosferatu” and “Sunny Side of the Couch.” Cause-and-effect themes are evident in “Huffin' Paint,” reactions to boredom, and “Emily Ate the Oatmeal,” which actually does not have lines about “why Emily ate all the oatmeal,” but instead expresses inane outrage that the oatmeal is gone — akin to road or other ranting rages so often encoun

tered. O r perhaps this song is just for fun. Remember “H ound Dog?” In concluding, Mr. Covey states, “...this kind of blathering... doesn’t bode well for the future.” This appears extremely harsh judgment for a first time CD attempt by a band that drew a standing-room-only crowd, that clearly demonstrates talent and stage presence and concluded with a stand ing ovation and encore. Maybe The Lestons are bringing “blathering” to an art form, reflecting our experiences with a “spice o f life”

range of emotional, tight musical response. It lifts the spirits — and to me that portends success. Blather on, Lestons, a lot of us love your style!

Jeri Scannell VIRGINIA BEACH, VA

DUMP BUSH W ith the presidential election only a year away, it is time to consider whether Mr. Bush should be re-elect ed. If we review the Preamble to the Constitution, the answer is a definite no. The Preamble states that the pur pose o f the Constitution is to “estab lish justice” and “ensure domestic tran quility.” This president has so polarized the nation into two divisive groups that “domestic tranquility” ceased to exist immediately following the elec tion of Mr. Bush by five justices of the Supreme Court. Mr. Bush has failed “to promote the general welfare.” The area of his concentration has been on warmonger ing with the sly connivance of the Congress, which has lacked the intes tinal fortitude to declare war when in fact it is war. Two wars against two nations in the space of three years sure ly qualifies him to deserve the title. And now Mr. Bush wants $87 bil lion to rebuild that which he ordered destroyed in Afghanistan and Iraq. This time around the Congress should have the guts to say no. American infrastructure (the unregulated electric power grid is an example), bridges, roads, governmental services, including

health and education, are all in a state of accelerating decay. Meanwhile, we spend billions of dollars, not to men tion American blood, in the pursuit of American imperialism. And in his pro motion of the “general welfare,” energy prices have skyrocketed. Do you like the percentage of your income present ly being spent on fuel? Thank Mr. Bush for your personal problems. He is a failed leader in the war on terrorism. Where is Osama bin Laden? Where is Mullah Omar? Where is Saddam Hussein? Where is the perpe trator of the anthrax debacle? And where is the heritage for our children with Social Security dollars all being spent on aggressive and preemptive wars? In summary, the record of history suggests there has been no president who has done more damage to the “welfare” of this country in three years than Mr. Bush. His foreign policy has been a disaster from day one. His financial policy is a recipe for fiscal chaos. His domestic policy, if there is one, is strictly limited to fundraising for his re-election and tax relief for the wealthy. And finally, America will never win the war on terrorism with this man at the helm, even though he chooses to appear before the nation in the flight gear of a fighter pilot. It is time for regime change in Washington if this nation is to survive into the future.

he chairman of the board of Vermont’s largest hospital is about to start a new job in Utah!

Seven Days has learned that Louise McCarren, board chairman at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, has been appointed CEO of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council based in Salt Lake City, Utah. She will start her new job on October 13. The W ECC’s mission is to oversee the Western Grid to maintain electric reliability through 14 states, two Canadian provinces and part of Mexico. Piece of cake for our Louise, eh? Earlier this year, McCarren rejected a request from Gov. Jim Douglas to resign along with the other discredited Mary Fanny trustees in the wake of revelations concerning the gazillion-dollar Renaissance Project Scandal. Were told Louise intends to finish out her term on the hospital board, which ends in December. Readers may recall that last April, Chairman McCarren was caught lying to Seven Days about the reasons Chittenden Bank President Paul Perrault withdrewreasons. his nomi Mr. Perrault resigned for personal The nation to the Fletcher Allen board. Louise said decision was his, said McCarren. In reality, we reported, Perrault withdrew at McCarren’s request. W hen confronted about it, Louise admitted she had been untruthful. In the 1980s, McCarren served as Chairman of the Public Service Board, which regulates utilities, and was an unsuc cessful Republican candidate for lieutenant governor in 1990. She then went on to head up Verizon Inc.’s Vermont operation. Ms. McCarren was out of town Tuesday and unavailable for comment. Her husband, Republican State Rep. Ed Amidon, told Seven Days the couple will maintain their current residence in Charlotte and a new one in Utah. Amidon, a retired lawyer, said he intends to continue serving in the Vermont House. “We’re keeping the house,” he said. “We’ve been here too long and love Vermont too much to give it up.” Amidon called his wife’s new CEO posi tion a “stunning opportunity.” He said it is “something Louise couldn’t pass up.” Congratulations, Louise!

Judicial Beat — Speaking of new jobs, Gov. Jim Douglas finally made his longawaited pick last week for the Vermont Supreme Court vacancy. The lucky dude is - Paul Reiber, 36, a Rutland attorney whose practice consists mainly of representing insurance companies. W hat the distinguished Reiber brings to the table that his competitors lacked is hard to assess. He did say he’s a bicycle rider, which we think is just great. Wonder if Jimmy D knew that? “The philosophy of any good jurist is middle-of-the-road,” said the soon-to-be Black Robe. “I have no agenda.” But who is Reiber’s “all-time judicial hero?” When the Rutland lawyer gave his answer, we thought Gov. Douglas would

need smelling salts. “O f all time?” Reiber responded, with a chuckle. “I’ll tell you,” he said, “Frank Mahady was one of the greatest guys I ever met. He’s the first name that comes to mind.” The late Frank Mahady is remembered by many for two very courageous and con troversial moves. In 1984 Mahady overruled another judge and threw out the search warrants in the state raid on the Island Pond Church. Mahady called Gov. Richard Snelling’s state police roundup of church children an “illegal kidnapping.” That same year, the chain-smoking jurist with the long hair allowed the protesters in the Winooski 44 trial to use the “necessity defense.” The demonstrators had staged a sit-in in U.S. Sen. Robert Stafford’s office to protest U.S. support for the right-wing Nicaraguan Contras. This Reiber fellow has good taste in heroes, eh? Nice pick, Jimmy D!

Buzz of the Week — The inside-baseball political buzz of the week had the phone lines blazing Monday. Word leaked out from a GOP source that Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie was thinking about stepping up a few notches and challenging Democratic Sen. Patrick J. Leahy in 2004. Hmmm. Sounds like a lost cause for the rookie Gov-Lite, but interesting nonetheless. At the moment all the G O P has is the little bald guy with the dark mustache, Jack McMillions, er, McMullen. If OF Jack would only slap on a bowler hat he’d pass for Charlie Chaplin. Six years ago the Massachusetts newcom er got the shock of his life when retired Tunbridge dairy farmer Fred Tuttle defeat ed him in the GOP primary. This time around we’ve heard another famous Vermont actor, Rusty DeWees, a.k.a. The Logger, is considering filling in for Fred and challenging McMuffin, er, McMullen in the Republican U.S. Senate primary. But if Doobie-Doo jumped into the race, the comedy would abruptly end. Brian’s a pretty solid citizen and the most successful true social conservative the state’s seen in decades. Is Dubie really thinking about taking on St. Patrick? Just last week the American Airlines pilot reappeared over the left shoulder of Gov. Jim Douglas at the Gov’s weekly press con ference. Brian stood silendy by the flag pole and in the camera shot for the entire hour without saying a word. Great exposure, eh? Doobie-Doo couldn’t be reached for com ment on the political rumor of the week. He’s flying a Western loop, we’re told, from Dallas to Seatde to Vancouver. But a source close to Doobie-Doo tells Seven Days the “buzz” about a Leahy challenge is “without merit.” Stay tuned. Dubie should be back in Vermont in time to assume the official posi-

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Janesville, Wisconsin, charged a 40-yearold man with stealing a computerized tracking device while it was sitting out side the home of a woman serving home detention. As soon as the suspect carried the $2500 brick-sized box outside the prisoner’s restricted area, it activated its built-in global positioning system and alerted monitors, according to correc tional officer Thomas Roth, who runs the local home detention program.

Fete Worse Than Death Police in South Windsor, Connecticut, arrested Adrienne T. Samen, 18, after she flew into a rage at her wedding reception. The ruckus started when the caterer closed the bar after the agreed-on four hours, then had to remove the liquor because some of the 80 or so guests repeatedly raided the closed bar. When the caterer finally ordered everybody out, Samen reacted by smashing her wedding cake on the ground, throwing cake and vases and making obscene gestures. Then she and the groom got into a shouting match in the parking lot. “I think the highlight of the whole thing was her straddling the white Bronco that her groom was driving,” a waiter said, “and I can’t really get into the details o f what

ment are the likelihood of overseas assignments and the risk of being killed or wounded. • Some 30 Japanese companies are form ing a joint venture to market a prosthetic “robot suit,” which is designed to help elderly or disabled people walk at up to 2.5 mph, climb stairs or sit to rest with out using a chair. It will sell for about $8400. “This is neither a factory robot, not one for amusement like a pet robot,” said Yoshiyuki Sankai, an engineering professor at Tsukuba University, who developed the suit. “This is a brand-new proposal projecting a future image of relations between people and robots.” • A group of Japanese scientists said that it is seeking government funding of 50 billion yen ($427 million) a year for a 30-year project, comparable to the U.S. Apollo Program, to create a humanoid robot based on Osamu Tezuka’s 1950s comic series “Astro Boy.” The robot would have the capabilities of a 5-yearold child in all aspects, including motion, intelligence and feelings. “I can’t say for sure what benefits the Atom Project would bring,” said Mitsuo Kawato o f the Advanced Telecommun ications Research Institute International. “W hat’s important is that we have a goal that we seriously take on.” • While visiting the Czech Republic, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi introduced a robot at a state dinner. The 4-foot-tall Asimo humanoid, made by Honda, greeted Czech Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla, mingled with the guests, cracked jokes and danced. Asimo even made a champagne toast, commenting that it couldn’t drink itself because it is underage. “Let’s drink to

Japan and the Czech Republic,” Asimo said in flawless Czech, “and to the friendly relationship between humans and robots.” . *

Weapons of Mass Distraction Expressing frustration because existing drug laws against methamphetamine pro ducers aren’t tough enough to suit him, Jerry Wilson, the district attorney for Watauga County, North Carolina, announced that county prosecutors would begin charging suspects under the state’s antiterrorism laws. That statute, enacted in November 2001, prescribes tough penalties for anyone guilty of manufactur ing a nuclear or chemical weapon. Wilson insisted that meth qualifies because of the toxic and combustible nature of the chemicals involved in making the drug. “I understand the title of the statute is antiterrorism, but the statute is much more broad than that,” he said. “There’s nothing in the statute that requires any organized terrorist effort. There’s nothing in the statute that requires that these chemicals be used as a weapon.”

Out in th e Open After a motorist lost control and crashed into the brick storefront of the Southern Home Improvement Center in Chalmette, Louisiana, investigators found the vehicle surrounded by stacks of racist books and pamphlets, including Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. They concluded that the. homeimprovement business was actually a front for the racist New Christian Crusade Church and the Christian Defense League, both projects of build ing owner James Warner, a founder of the American Nazi Party. ©

ne of the nice things about Vermont is that vacant lots usually don’t sit vacant for long. Eventually, someone plants a garden there. Apparently, the same goes for the public airwaves. Several weeks ago, the Bush administra tion suffered a political setback when it tried to eliminate the rules that limit the number of media outlets one corporation can own in a single city. O n Sept, 3, a fed eral appeals court in Washington, D.C., issued a surprise order blocking the Federal Communications Commission from imple menting new rules that would have made it easier for the nations biggest media con-

U n allocated radio fr e q u e n c ie s th a t are n e ith e r in u se nor serv in g so m e o th er te c h n ic a l p u rp ose — th e FM e q u iv a le n t o f o p e n sp ace — cou ld b e m glomerates to get even bigger. That order was hailed by groups as politically diverse as v the National Organization for Women, the National Rifle Association and the U.S. Conference on Catholic Bishops. W hat else did the FCC do on Sept. 3 to promote the fair and equitable use of the public airwaves? Two of its enforcement agents drove 225 miles from their field office in Quincy, Massachusetts, to Burlington to shut down an unlicensed, 10-watt FM radio transmitter. As a frame of reference, one of the beefiest stations in Burlington — 99.9 FM “The Buzz” — broadcasts at 100,000 watts and can be picked up in Montreal. In contrast, a 10-watt radio signal, or one-sixth the power of the average light bulb, can bare ly reach from the University of Vermont to Lake Champlain. For the last two and a half years, some tech-sawy folks have been broadcasting a signal from Free Radio Burlington, a com munity-operated station that streams com mercial-free music, news and political com mentary over the Internet. They lift the sig nal off the Web and broadcast it at 87.9 FM, or, as they put it, “as far left as you can go on the FM dial.” But on Sept. 3, FCC agents, accompanied by two officers from the Burlington Police Department, visited a private residence in Burlington’s Hill Section and ordered the broadcasters to cease their transmissions or risk a legal spanking. Since the agents were in Vermont any way, the following day they paid a similar _ house call to Radio Free Bratdeboro, anoth er unlicensed community station that sprouted on a vacant FM frequency five years ago. Perhaps because the Bratdeboro folks have more experience doing the regu latory rumba with the feds — the FCC last visited them in June — they managed to keep the agents from entering their premis es. Instead, the FCC left behind a form let ter that basically said, “move it or lose it,” and went on their way.

Keep in mind, neither visit was in response to radio interference or complaints from the public, according to an FCC spokesperson in Washington, D.C. Free Radio Burlington’s signal was not jamming radio traffic from the planes flying in and out of Burlington International Airport. Nor was Radio Free Bratdeboro stepping on listeners’ enjoyment of VPR’s “Morning Classics.” The only reason for the FCC actions — Free Radio Burlington got another visit just last week — was because neither station has a license. Why? Because the FCC isn’t granting licenses to stations that small, despite rules saying it will. In fact, license applications for both fre quencies have been pending for years. Yet no Vermont applicant has received so much as a postcard from the FCC acknowledging the application. So now some citizens are trying to reclaim what they say rightfully belongs to them. There’s a concept in real estate law called “adverse possession.” Here’s how it works: Say you own a house adjacent to a vacant lot. After several years, you notice that no one t5|tending to the property, so you send a lettlc to the oWner of record by t get back no response. One day, you and a neighbor go out there and clean up the trash, rake up the brush piles and pull out the poison ivy. The following year, you plant some flowers. The year after that, a vegetable garden. After 10 years, no one has stopped by to say, “Hey! Didn’t you see the sign? It says, ‘No gardening!”’ In effect, you’ve openly and continuously exercised stewardship over that land. Under the principle of adverse posses sion, you may be able to claim legal tide to it. W hat if adverse possession were applied to the electromagnetic spectrum? Unallo cated radio frequencies that are neither in use nor serving some other technical pur pose — the FM equivalent of open space — could be considered abandoned real proper ty. After all, the federal caretaker responsible for tending to that property has failed to respond to written requests to put it to good use. As a result, some Vermonters — who are, after all, the owners of record — have now planted community gardens there and made them available to anyone who wants to grow something. A far-fetched notion? Perhaps, but similar legal principles are applied to intellectual property rights such as trademarks, which are more abstract con cepts than the electromagnetic spectrum. Incidentally, on Sept. 3 the city council in Santa Cruz, California, passed a resolution in support of the unlicensed station Free Radio Santa Cruz, which has been on the air for eight years. That resolution was modeled after a similar one passed by the San Fran cisco City Council in support of San Fran cisco Liberation Radio, which has been broadcasting for 10 years. Perhaps the Burlington City Council or the Bratdeboro Select Board could take it one step further and pass a resolution that “deeds” those unal located frequencies to their own communides. The seeds have already been planted. ®

dict. Her likes and dislikes change from one week to the next. This week, as always, the things she likes all folloiv a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? (Keep in mind that 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.) Fannie spent her twenty-third year trying to raise SHEEP in her back yard. Her neighbors thought she was WEIRD because she dyed them purple. She explained that this was a common practice in the ITALIAN Alps. The sheep were not used for MEAT unless she had some mint sauce. When a ram stepped on her foot, Fannie uttered a prolonged WHOOP. At night she could HEAR the sheep coughing, and it sounded eerily human. For a rustic touch, she kept the herd in a THATCHED hut. Fannie was taught shepherding by a Welshman who lived on the river USK. She referred to the more YOUTHFUL sheep as "babes in the wool." The predominant THEMATIC element of her early paintings was sheep.

Dear Cecil, Oft have we all heard the aged whodunit cliche “The butler did it.T But when did the butler ever do it? I ’ve never heard o f the butler actually having done it. How did this cliche become the clichi it became i f there were never any butlers who did it? — Brian J. Wright via email O f course butlers do it. How do you think they make lit tle buders? What you really want to know is whether the buder in a whodunit ever actually committed the murder (detective-story rule number seven says it must always be a murder), and what writer was initially responsible for this cliche most foul. Which, with apologies to Agatha Christie, is the last detective-story cliche you’ll read in this column. Litde Ed and I initially connived to cram it full of Conan Doyle-isms, but halfway through I looked at him and said, “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” “Yes,” he admitted. “The plot sickens.” The expression “the buder did it” is commonly attrib uted to novelist Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876-1958), who wrote dozens of popular books, starting with The Circular Staircase in 1908. In 1930 she published The Door, in which — I’m sorry if this ruins the suspense for you — the butler does it. But the words “the butler did it” do not appear in the book, as far as I can tell — I confess I skimmed — and Rinehart was hardly the first crime writer to implicate a menial. Denying her this dis tinction (if such it be) isn’t going to dim her legacy, how ever. Among connoisseurs of the detective story Rinehart is famous (or perhaps notorious) as the originator of the had-she-but-known school of crime fiction, in which the story is narrated by a once-naive-but-now-older-andwiser woman. Formulaic though it was, this approach helped her sell roughly ten million books during her lifetime. In

1929 she helped two of her sons found the publishing house of Farrar and Rinehart, which printed her books from then on (the family name survives at Holt, Rine hart and Winston) — to my mind the surest means yet devised to guarantee a successful career as a writer. Back to our story. As I say, Rinehart was not the first to turn suspicion on the servant class in her detective fic tion. One of the earliest was the writer who largely creat ed the genre, Arthur Conan Doyle. In “The Musgrave Ritual,” from The Memoirs o f Sherlock Holmes (1893), the buder Brunton, though not the central bad guy, is found dead beside the chest that had contained the i Musgrave family treasure — “the buder/ guilty of betray al and theft, paid with his life for his perfidy,” as the Oxford Companion to Crime & Mystery Writing puts it. And in Agatha Christie’s The Murder o f Roger AckroyA (1926), suspicion initially falls on Ackroyd’s buder Parker, owing to his criminal past. Still, crime-ficuon writers of the day tended to think that casting one of the hired help as the culprit was cheadng. (That is, it was only OK for the buder to be suspected of doing it.) In his 1928 essay “Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories” (the source of rule number seven above — you thought I was making this up?), S.S. Van Dine spells this out in rule eleven: “A servant must not be chosen by the author as the culprit. This is beg ging a noble question. It is a too easy solution. The cul prit must be a decidedly worth-while person — one that wouldn’t ordinarily come under suspicion.” Noting the blithe classism in this suggestion, we return to the Oxford Companion-. “Because the buder can move about the house in the course of his duties with complete free dom and because he is so taken for granted by the other characters that no one pays attention to him, he makes an ideal culprit.” You see the divide here. Too easy! say fans of the 10people-in-a-country-house subgenre. Perfect! say slightly more adventurous writers, and indeed, having the buder do it seems like a great opportunity to inject the resent ments of the proletariat into the genteel world of Hercule Poirot and his ilk. But few writers took the bait: I can find only one detective story prior to Rinehart’s in which a buder commits the pivotal crime, “The Strange Case of Mr. Challoner” by Herbert Jenkins (1921). Once the device had been fixed in the popular mind by Rinehart’s book, it became an easy target for satirists (and thus off-limits to most everybody else); see for example Damon Runyon’s 1933 story “What, No Buder?” and P.G. Wodehouse’s 1957 novel The Butler Did It. But give Rinehart her due. Though she may never have written those fateful words, she could honest ly say that she made them a cliche.

onsidering that our nation has chosen to be an isolationist creep with its foreign policy, foreigners certainly seem to know an awful lot about us. Being the worlds noisiest superpower means that the U.S. is heartily ingested by other cultures through such exported comestibles as pop culture and fast food. But citizens— and satirists — in other nations also boast real knowledge of such in-house figures as those who actually rule our country — and not just the President. Quick! W ho’s the Prime M inister o f Australia? John Howard, ha ha. However, I only know this because the satirical paper from Oz, The Chaser, has a fictitious story on Howard backing down on N orth Korea for fear that they m ight have “actual” weapons. Further down the page, a Chase£ headline declarp, “Com a Patienf Wakes After 19 Years, Thinks Reagan Is Still President — Reagan T hinks Exact Same T hing.” ,f * But knowing the names of presidents and prime ministers is easy-peasy lemon-squeezy, as the English say. W hat’s almost shocking to realize is that many citizens in other nations know the names and foibles, histories and connections o f Bushs sup port team almost as well as they know the simian ruler himself. Perhaps there does exist that American reader who can ably reel off the names o f the men and women serving directly under British Prime M inister Tony Blair. I know that I certainly can’t. Lets see... there’s Tony. There’s, um, his lovely wife Cherie, who had a baby and is given the occasional nudge in ‘Absolutely Fabulous” reruns. And there’s, hm m m — Margaret Thatcher? T he m ind skitters away. But spend some tim e on British satirical Web sites and you quickly discover that they know all about our oily-slick

G od’s Right "Wand is “sponsored” by the Access o f Evil credit card, where every pound spent supports^ do-gooding terrorist. The startling jab is made somewhat richer by the fact that Access — w ithout the “o f Evil” — is a real British credit-card company.

Meanwhile, DeadBrain also kicks Dick, declaring, “Cheney look-alike blames Saddam Hussein™ for every thing.” Reportedly appearing on

“Meet the Press,” the Dick double is said to leap rabidly to his feet chant ing, “USA! USA!

Federal and state investigators con tinue their probe of Burlington eye surgeon David Chase. Chases medical license was yanked in July after state officials discovered he’d been performing unnecessary sur gery at his downtown Burlington clinic. The Medical Practice Board declared Dr. Voodoo Eyes, “a clear danger to public health, safety and welfare.” Now, Seven Days has learned that two former patients of Chase have filed a lawsuit in Chittenden Superior Court. The suit names David Chase, his wife Brianne Chase and their medical practice as defendants. According to court documents, Joseph and Judith Salatino of South Hero were Dr. Voodoo Eyes’ patients since 1978. They trusted him. W hen in 2001 Chase told Mr. Salatino he had cataracts that needed surgery, Salatino believed him. And when Chase told Mrs. Salatino the same thing last June, she believed him, too. Chase operated on her right eye on duly 15. She was scheduled for cataract surgery on her left eye on July 22. But in the interval, state and federal law enforcement offi cials raided Dr. Voodoo Eyes’ St.' Paul Street clinic armed with a search warrant. The day before her second operation, Mrs. Salatino got a call from Chases office to reschedule. She was told Chase was having a problem with the air-conditioning. Cute. Mrs. Salatino then sought a sec ond opinion and was startled to hear “that her remaining eye did not suffer from any condition that would require surgery.” According to the Salatinos’ complaint, greed was the motiva tion for Dr. Voodoo Eyes. They cite a January 2003 Vermont Business People profile in which Chase complained that, “The cost of business keeps going up and the amount of reimbursement contin ues to go down.” The Salatinos’ are suing Dr. Voodoo Eyes for malpractice, con sumer fraud, negligent misrepre sentation, assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Salatinos attorney Jacob Perkinson tells Seven Days, “There are some real concerns about how quickly the state moved” on Dr. Voodoo Eyes, since there’s evidence he’d been practic ing this way for years. The Chases have been granted an extension in naming who their defense attorney will be. Perkinson said he expects their insurance car rier will assign an attorney to rep resent them.

DeanWatch 2004 — A wise man once said that to successfully run for president, one must be willing to jump off the roof of an 18-story building every day and believe that the American people will catch you. Howard Dean started out that way last winter. It worked. But now he’s getting cautious and, if it keeps up, it’ll kill him. And the Dean flip-flops have been coming fast and furious of late. The worst one of all happened this week. Dean had a big Boston rally scheduled for Tuesday. But the Kerry Campaign put the word out to the Washington Post and Boston Herald ahead of time that Ho-Ho is a New York Yankees fan. Their evidence was a copy of the January 8 “Inside Track,” in which Dean waxed eloquently about his beloved 1961 Yankees. Dr. Dean then pulled an instant flip-flop and declared he had qui etly switched his allegiance from the Bronx Bombers to the Boston Red Sox in 2000. (Funny, we don’t remember the press release.) All things to all people, eh, HoHo? Success going to your head? O n behalf of millions of trueblue Yankee fans of the Mickey Mantle era, yours truly would like to be the first to say, “Howard, don’t be such a bloody coward!” And don’t ever show your face in Yankee Stadium again!

The Dean Luck — Over the 20 years of Howard Dean’s Vermont political experience, our favorite presidential hopeful was the bene ficiary of many simple twists of fate and perfect timing. Just take ' ' last week’s entry into the race by Gen. Wesley Clark. For a week, Ho-Ho had been getting gang-tackled by his chief rivals: John Kerry, Dick Gep hardt, Joe Lieberman and John Edwards. But as soon as Ol’ Wes announced his candidacy, the story changed and Dean was let off the hook. To succeed in politics one must be both smart and lucky, and examples of the Dean Luck are too numerous to mention here. One, hdwever, stands out. The year was 1986. Madeleine Kunin was governor. Her choco late-eating years as ambassador to Switzerland were but a gleam in Bill Clinton’s eye. Republican Peter Smith was lieutenant governor. No one imag ined he would one day move to California and start a university. Ralph Wright, the Bennington legend, was house speaker. Paul Poirier was the Democrat leader and Rep. Howard Dean was the whip. The problem was, Rep: Dean had bought a house in the South Cove area, outside his Old North End district. His new district already had two Democratic reps. Dr. Dean needed a new job. Never known for being shy, Ho-Ho let it be known that he’d step up to the plate and challenge Preppy Peter, the incumbent GovLite. It would be an uphill fight. According to Poirier, Ho-Ho had also been thinking of running for Congress against the Repub lican incumbent, Jim Jeffords. Another long-shot race. In February 1986, Howard Dean was far from a household

I in sid e track 17A word in Vermont. He knew that the road map to the top dictated that a newcomer be willing to lose his first statewide bid in order to gain name recognition. Dr. Dean also knew that Poirier, a former high-school hockey coach, was also contem plating a run for Gov-Lite. Paul the Puck, as we called him back then, had seniority. So Dr. Dean declared Poirier had first dibs. Then came the shockeroo. A week after Ho-Ho went public with his interest, Smith announced he wouldn’t seek reelection. Instead, he declared for governor. According to Ralphies wonder ful memoir A ll Politics Is Personal, the Speaker went all out to hang onto Poirier, his top lieutenant and partner in “crime.” Together the dynamic Democratic duo had taken over the Speaker’s office despite being from the minority party. “I went for the groin,” wrote King Ralph, “and preyed on Poirier’s soul by questioning his loyalty to me, his dearest friend.” One oral-history version has Ralph taking Paul up to a Stowe watering hole to do the preying , over a few brewskies. Poirier told Seven Days the showdown actually took place in the Speaker’s office. “Ralph said,” according to Paul the Puck, ‘Why give up being majority leader when we’re just starting to move our agenda? Besides, the lieutenant governor’s job goes nowhere.’ Poirier was persuaded. He stayed in the House with Ralphie for another term, then ran for Congress in 1988. Howard hopped in his little blue pickup truck and cam paigned all over the state. Dr. Dean easily defeated Republican Susan Auld for Gov-Lite in 1986. The rest is history. “His stars have been lined up from the beginning,” said Poirier. “Sometimes, you’ve got to believe in fate.” P.S. In 1988, Paul the Puck won a highly contested Demo cratic congressional primary over state Sen. Peter Welch and Jim Guest (remember him?). Then Poirier faced his old friend Peter Smith and Mayor Bemie Sanders in the general election. Paul finished third, as he and Bemie split the left. Smith won with 41 percent (just like Dubie did in last year’s Gov-Lite race with Democrat Peter Shumlin and Sanders wannabe Anthony Pollina), and went to Washing ton. Today Poirier is the public advocate for Vermont Protection and Advocacy, a statewide mental health watchdog group. But if Paul had resisted Speaker Wrights persuasion back in 1986, he surely would have won the Gov-Lite race. And Howard Dean would have been creamed by Jim Jeffords. W ho knows, maybe today Paul Poirier would be running for pres ident? And Howard Dean would be spending his time in small rooms examining naked people? ®

P STORY

RUTH HOROWITZ

icture books don’t have to educate young readers, but plenty do — even those that don’t look like that’s what they’re up to. Cases in point: tworecent kid-lit releases w itlf Vermont connections. Doreen C ronin’s Diary o f a Worm is illustrated by South Burlington artist H arry Bliss, a car toonist for The New Yorker and Seven Days. The Ghost on the Hearth is a Vermont Folklife C enter story retold by Norwich author Susan Milford. Diary takes an underground route to edification, while Ghost is much more direct. The former approach makes for a more successful picture book. New York attorney Doreen Cronin came out of nowhere in 2000 with her first picture book, Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type. The book, expressively illustrated by Betsy Lewin, tells a simple tale of disgruntled dairy cows, a noisy typewriter and the power of labor activism. It hit pay dirt, winning a pres tigious Caldecott Honor award, and Cronin followed up with a sequel, Giggle, Giggle, Quack. Like those earlier books, Diary takes an irreverent and anthropomorphic approach; unlike them, it doesn’t actually tell a story. As its title suggests, Diary details the daily doings of a worm. The book opens with the introspective inverte brate enunciating an adage that’s sure to strike a chord with today’s eco-indoctrinated elementary schoolers. “Mom says there are three things I should always remember: 1. The earth gives us everything we need. 2. W hen we dig tunnels, we help take care of the earth. 3. Never bother Daddy when he’s eating the newspaper.” W hat follows is a sequence of entries that feels more like a list than a plot.

The dirt-digesting diarist hangs out with a friendly spider, teases his sister that her face looks just like her rear end, eats his homework, aspires to be a Secret Service agent and faces the terrors of fishing season. Bliss, whose previous picture-book credits include William Steig’s Which Would You Rather Be? and Fine, Fine School by Sharon Creech, provides fullcolor illustrations that are right in tune with the gendy subversive tone of Cronin’s text. The humble narrator — a litde-boy worm sporting a red baseball cap — is an anatomically correct update of Richard Scarry’s groundbreaking Lowly Worm. Dad worm looks the part in wire-rim spectacles and the worm teacher wears cat-eye glasses with a librarian chain. Art and words work best together here when they startle us with an alter native take on events we’ve all experi enced from the other side. The entry about humans digging for fishing bait shows the worms’ world in cross-sec tion, with a giant spade slicing into the sod perilously close to the cozy, leaf-fur nished living room where the worm family is nervously gathered. Father worm looks up from his book and asks, “Did you guys hear something?” Equally terrifying, on the facing page, is a game of hopscotch shown as the menacing soles of a little girl’s sneakers poised over the heads of two gasping, anxious worms. Another bril liant bit shows the worms at their school dance, where they put their heads in, put their heads out, do the hokey pokey and turn themselves about. W ithout arms or legs, it’s a short dance. Its hard to miss with a picture book that’s funny, especially when the jokes

The project’s purpose is slip some insidious instruction between not only to produce quality children’s the gags. Like more traditional, “con cept” books — works that introduce the literature, but also to preserve the her very young to abstract ideas like shapes, itage of the informants who originally told the tales, and to encourage readers colors or numbers — Diary invites to become storytellers themselves (a readers to consider similarities and dif page at the back of the book offers prac ferences between worms and spiders, and between worms and the kids them tical suggestions). Meeting all these selves. goals can be a challenge. Ghost on the Hearth is based on a Size, for example. The text implicitly story that Claire Chase — a Winooski alludes to that reality in its concluding entry, which evokes the same philosoph native now living in Underhill — attrib utes to her great-grandmother in Cap ical mood with which the book began. “It’s not always easy being a worm,” the Sante, Quebec. Twelve-year-old Emily, the eldest of nine children in a poor narrator concedes. “We’re very small, and sometimes people forget we’re even family, goes to work at a farm on the outskirts of town. In exchange for room here. But, like Mom always says, the

Diary o f a Worm also shows that even a book that’s light and lively can impart an important message. If Diary o f a Worm offers its edifica tion with an edge, Ghost on the Hearth wears its purpose on its sleeve. It’s the latest in a series of picture books based

Sadly, she falls ill and dies, and another young girl named Jenny comes to take over her duties. One morning her mistress finds wax on the hearth. But when she confronts Jenny, the girl insists that she cleaned the wax. Solving the mystery yields a ghost, a moral question and a lesson in forgiveness.

Lydia Dabcovich, an experienced illustrator from Brookline, Massachusetts, provides lively paint ings in deeply saturated colors remi niscent of the work of Anita Lobel. Rich in detail — wooden shoes, lace caps, a spinning wheel, a rack of pipes — they nicely flesh out the story’s historic and geographical set ting. Susan Milford, the author of numerous childrens activity books and folk-tale collections, writes in a clear, straightforward style. While the prose doesn’t exactly sing, it also never stumbles. Unfortunately, for a book that promises a spooky story, Ghost is unlikely to raise many goose bumps.

For one thing, though the unex plained wax is curious, it’s hardly scary —- and neither the art nor the language does much to make it so. For another, after a rather slow beginning, the ending is way too fast. The ghost appears, the answer is revealed and the problem is resolved in quick order. It’s hard to say without hearing the archival tape, but it seems likely that this “retelling,” as Ghost bills itself, aims to remain faithful to the original, oral account. That would help explain the awkward pacing. The most compelling family story does not necessarily translate into a riveting picture book. And while knowledge that a tale has been handed down by a real family may thrill adults, that fact alone doesn’t guarantee Ghost will be a thrilling read for children. You wouldn’t think worms could be more exciting than ghosts. Surprise, surprise. ®

ecall some favorite fictional characters from your child hood and you’ll probably find a few memorable misfits among them. Young readers seem drawn to characters on the outside looking in. Perhaps the outsider speaks to a sense of not belonging that even the most popular kids sometimes feel. The payoff in the misfit’s story comes when she earns acceptance or, better yet, comes to accept herself for who she is. Middlebury author Phoebe Stone’s new book for 9to 12-year-old readers, Sonata #1 for Riley Red, features a band of five misfits. Their misadventure together turns them into veritable oudaws in 1960s Cambridge, Massachusetts. The resulting tale is as rich in action as it is in quirky characterization, offering something to the 9-year-old with a taste for plot twists as well as to the 12-year-old just beginning to spin into a torpor of self-conscious angst. Set in and around lively Harvard Square, Sonata is narrated by 13-year-old Rachel Townsend. The daughter of a former jazz musician turned live-in superintendent o f 87 Brattle Street, she describes her house as a “three-dimensional Advent calendar.” Author and illustrator Stone brings this microcosm to vivid life, window by window, door by door, as Rachel visits colorful tenants. She also maintains a friendship with one her own age, Alfred “Woolsey” Pontiac. It is Rachel’s and Woolsey’s friendship with two other neighbors, however, that sets events in motion: the wealthy brother-and-sister team of Desmona and Riley McKarroll — “Red” Riley for his curly red tresses. Dressed in a tuxedo jacket over a T-shirt, Riley is a protoboho figure discovering Bob Dylan. Although older than the others, he’s very much his sister’s partner in crime and, by virtue of his driver’s license, the guy behind the wheel of the getaway car whenever one is required. As ringleader, Desmona is the most compelling character. The McKarrolls’ poet mother, we learn early on, drowned in Walden Pond. She went down dressed in white, taking along pages of her poems. While Desmona mourns her mother’s loss, she does so with her own poetic panache. Attuned to life’s imperma nence, she is wildly spontaneous and champions the cause to do “one extraordinary thing.” This bedevils stepmother Gretchen, a former Miss West Germany who doesn’t “get” Desmona at all. Few stepparents, parents — or other kids, for that

matter — would know what to*make of a 13-year-old girl who urges her friends to eat vegetarian, organizes protests whenever the school cafeteria serves veal, and takes it upon herself to find homes for all the cats in the Somerville pound. Today Desmona could sit on the board of PETA. No, make that Earth First! Early in the story, Desmona is horrified to spot a chained-up baby ele phant in the background of a newspaper photo taken at a nearby zoo. With Riley at the wheel, she and her friends set off to free the animal. Riley, old enough to know better, is motivated in part by a zeal (probably hormonal in nature) to visit the summer home of Christina Talbot, who lives near the zoo. The plot’s intrigue hinges on whether the kids will free the ele phant and, if they are successful, what they will do with the creature.

begun to question the stability of his household. While the plot of Sonata #1 for Riley Red is a bit of a stretch, young readers will likely suspend their disbe lief without hesitation. Any kid who has ever created a mess without a clear exit strategy will relate to this story. Readers may be underwhelmed, however, by the ending, which is a bit pat for a story so rich with com plex characters. The future of the elephant and Rachel’s crush on Riley are resolved too tidily. Likewise, the big Copley Square secret to which Rachel alludes is unlike ly to be surprising to any youngster tipped o ff— through books, television or life experience — about where wives sometimes go, all gussied up, when they don’t go where they say they’re going and the thrill has gone out of their marriage. Ultimately, Sonata #1 for Riley Red is the story of a journey, not an arrival. Along the way, author Phoebe

While all members of a loser group bear the mark of unpopularity, this frees them to appreciate each other for who they are as individuals, not as members of a herd. Desmona’s charisma is a magnet for wallflowers Rachel and Woolsey, who are easily drawn into her cru sade. Still, Rachel and Woolsey are well defined and deep in their own ways. Each confronts a significant obstacle in getting on with young life. Rachel, a young composer, is suffering from writer’s block triggered by “what I saw in Copley Square.” This trauma remains a mystery through most of the story. Rachel also has a mad, unreciprocated crush on Riley. Woolsey’s frustration is that he can’t hit puberty, no matter how hard he tries. The indignity of being short is exacerbated by the rigors of looking after his father, Sergeant Pontiac, who alternately watches the Red Sox on television from his wheelchair and relives one fate ful day on the beaches at Normandy. O f all the char acters, Woolsey stands to lose the most if the elephant caper goes sour, since a social worker has already

Stone — whose previous children’s books include A ll the Blue Moons at the Wallace Hotel, When the Wind Bears Go Dancing, What Night Do the Angels Wander and Go Away, Shelley Boo! — illuminates an enduring truth about American youth culture. While in-group members tend to bond along lines o f simi larity — fashion sense, socioeconomic status, the right home address — the misfits, when they find each other, tend to bond along lines of difference. T hat is, while all members of a loser group bear the mark of unpopularity, this frees them to appreciate each other for who they are as individuals, not as members of a herd. Expect Stone’s rascally ensemble to invite young read ers of all types, interests and dietary habits to vicariously join a group of rebels bound for trouble, and all the rewards that come with it. ®

SD: The demographics of Burlington have changed quite a lot during your tenure. W hat has that meant for you and the department?

AE: Well, we want to create the kind of department that reflects the communi ty. In order to do that, you have to eliminate distrust, and sometimes it’s just built into some ethnic communi ties. .. We decided our focus would be on creating more diversity in the agency to reflea that diversity. But it’s difficult, because certain cultures come into this country and have certain bias es toward police based on experiences in their own communities overseas. So it’s up to us to try to overcome that. What we did was hire a group of peo ple from those communities and let them help us bridge that gap.

o STORY

KEN PICARD I MAGE

JORDAN SILVERMAN

utgoing Burlington Police Chief Alana Ennis got a flash of deja vu recently. Almost five years ago to the day she was standing in Contois Auditorium in the spot where her two deputy chiefs stood last week, fielding questions from the public about why she should be the Queen City’s next police chief. That v Burlington was able to attract a candi date with Ennis’ law enforcement stature — she was then police chief at Duke University — was a testament to Burlington’s own national reputation. It didn’t hurt that the North Carolina native was recruited during the summer. Five Vermont winters didn’t scare this Southerner off. Even so, Ennis’ depar ture this week was not unexpected. Her daughter, who graduates from high school next spring, has only applied to colleges in North Carolina and Ennis says she wants to live closer to her fami ly again. And with nearly 30 years of police work under her belt — she recently accepted a security job with General Dynamics — the chief says it’s time to pass the baton to the next gener ation of leaders rising through the ranks. “Personally, I think you can only be effective as chief for a certain period of time,” Ennis says. “It was time to move on and keep the department moving.” That she has done, over five years pro moting a total of 18 officers, most of whom are now in command positions. Among them is Thomas Tremblay, who has been deputy chief of administration since May and served as operations chief for the last three years. O n Monday, the City Council ratified the selection of Tremblay as Burlington’s new police chief. Ennis arrived at a time when the Burlington Police Department needed to modernize in order to reflect the changing face of the city. An influx of immigrants was dramatically altering the city’s racial and ethnic makeup. A burgeoning heroin trade was becoming front-page news. Meanwhile, rising costs coupled with belt-tightening at the state and federal levels were making it difficult to grow the department’s nearly $7 million budget. And the city was discussing a new approach to law

enforcement called community-based policing, which combats crime through neighborhood involvement and rela tionship building. Two years ago, the terrorist attacks of 9/11 forced the department to not only divert precious resources to homeland security but also to rethink the parameters of pdblic safe ty and emergency preparedness. Last week, Ennis sat down with Seven Days to reflect on her brief but significant tenure as Burlington’s top cop and speculate on the work in store for her successor.

It is difficult to maintain because resources are scarce and we still have to answer 9-1-1 calls. Then you’ve got ongoing nuisance issues like noise. We suffer from lack of staffing and [the difficulty of] remaining up to frill strength. We have 20-year retirement, so people are out the door in 20 years, which is great. But it has pre sented some challenges as well. We are very selective in the people we select to do this job because we want it to be a good fit — for them and for us — and we want the kind of individual

the perspective of having done law enforcement in other states. Are there laws or statutes you think could be changed to make policing more effective in Vermont?

AE: Well, there are laws that surprised me when I got here, like the lack of gun laws. [Vermont] restricts long guns, but they don’t have many gun laws. It’s unbelievable. But what’s interesting about that is, when you approach the Legislature about changing that, then you look at the statistics, people really aren’t killing each other with guns to that extent. Not like they are [in states] where they have stricter gun laws. So, there’s not the political Will to do anything about that.

SD: Any other laws that make police work more difficult in Vermont than elsewhere?

AE: The laws surrounding Fourth

Certain cultures c o m e into this country an d have certain biases toward police based on experiences in their ow n co m m u n ities over seas. S o it’s up to us to try to overcom e that. BURLINGTON POLICE CHIEF ALANA ENNIS SEVEN DAYS: W hat were the initial challenges you faced coming into a new department?

Alana Ennis: Well, everyone wanted community policing, but no one could really tell me what that meant to them. Everyone had their own definition... Every community is different, so you have to do what’s in the best interest of that community. It’s all about partner ing with the people there and what they are willing to do, because its a partnership to solve problems.

who is very service-oriented. We like to hire people who have life experiences, particularly people that have come from the service industry. Teachers are great. Some of our most impressive candidates have come from that area because they’re used to dealing with people, they’re used to solving prob lems, and it’s about customer service and treating people with respect.

SD: Policing has traditionally been a male-dominated profession. Did that pose challenges for you?

SD: How well has it been accomplished?

AE: I think it was more of an issue that I

AE: I think we’ve been pretty successful.

was an outsider. I was an unknown quantity... But I was pleasandy sur prised. New Englanders have a reputa tion of being a little cold to outsiders and it’s certainly undeserved, because I saw none of that here. Everybody was really warm and friendly and open and made my family and me feel so wel come here. We really have been embraced by this community and, in

And it’s not due to me. All I did was have some of the ideas. The people in the department solidified them and we reorganized the department to facilitate that. SD: Has the department moved away a bit from community-based policing?

AE: No, we haven’t moved away from it.

Amendment-type issues are narrower than [in] the federal Constitution, where search-and-seizure is con cerned. So, yeah, it does make it difficult.

SD: One criticism leveled against you as chief was that you were not more visible in the community.

AE: Well, some people thought I should be out walking a beat. You can’t be out walking a bait and getting grants and doing all that stuff. There’s just not enough hours in the day.

SD: So that’s not a fair criticism? AE: I don’t think so. Because if you ask other people, they would say I’ve been highly visible in the community. I’ve served on boards, I’ve been aaive in civic groups... I have been out on patrol and I do ride [with officers] on occasion, but, again, there’s only so many hours in the day. I wish I had the time to do that more frequendy. But it’s hard balancing everything. If

I’m not here, I’m not focused on what we’re doing about the lack of resources, which is my job.

SD: Addressing the lack of resources was your biggest task?

AE: Oh, yes. Definitely. SD: Right in the middle of your tenure as police chief came the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Did that change the way you approached your job?

AE: Absolutely. We’re responsible for the airport, so everything that’s tied into airport security affects us hugely. The TSA [Transportation Security Administration], the new FAA requirements... At one time they had more TSA agents out there [at the airport] than I had in my whole depart ment. *

AE: Well, that’s what community policing is all about. It’s about solving those quality-of-life issues. O ur mission statement is “policing with the citizens of Burlington to achieve a safe, healthy and self-reliant commu nity,” with big emphasis on the last word. We work together to do that. We work through neighborhood associations. They meet monthly. Our offi cers are fixtures there. We have developed projects depending on what the issue is.

SD: W hat do you think will be the toughest problems for your suc cessor to overcome?

AE: Perceptions. There are people in the community who have been very vocal — and I think we have a responsibility to listen to them. But we also need to discern what’s real and what’s noise. Perception is reality and my ques tion to them is, “What are you willing to do to get involved?” It’s really easy to point fingers and say, “You’re not doing a really good job.” But what’s your part, meaning the community?

SD: Longer term, have there been other homeland secu rity duties that you’ve been called upon to do? AE: Yeah. It’s really interesting because we’re so close to the border. And while we don’t have responsibility for jjiat, there are things we need to be more diligent about in the community, so it’s been an educational process. We’ve been involved in the homeland security task force statewide... It’s a matter o f training, it’s a matter of developing plans for the city. We have that anyway, but we’ve had to look at it dif ferently — like where are we most vulnerable — in ways we haven’t considered before. SD: Has your department gotten additional funding for home land security? AE: We haven’t seen it yet. SD: In recent years, accusations of racial profiling have been a problem for other police forces. Has public sensitivity to this issue had an impact on your officers in any way, perhaps making them a bit gun-shy in certain situations?

SD: What about Burlington’s heroin problem?

AE: I think we’ve become more responsive. Because of severe lack of staffing, [my predeces sors] had done away with ser geants and, when I came in, we re-instituted them. We felt that [officers] needed more supervi sion in the field — there were so many young officers — so there was a complaint of lack of responsiveness. The way we reorganized, I think we’ve resolved a lot of that. People in the community know who their lieutenant is — if they care — and who their team members are in their commu nity. T hat’s published, it’s on our Web site, and they can reach out and make a call.

AE: I wouldn’t say they are gunshy. The point is that we edu cate officers not to do anything that makes them vulnerable to it. Like if you have probable cause... reasonable suspicion before you do a search, then that limits it. Yes, we have had peo ple allege it and cases have been dismissed.

e know a lot more now about the dangers and disasters of U.S. empire building in Iraq — the ongoing blood shed, expansion of terrorist activities, the budget-bust ing costs of occupation, the stretching and undermin ing of the military, and the increased sense of fear many Americans feel as a result of the invasion. We also now have a better handle on the immediate reasons for the invasion. President Bush told us we were going to war because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction; he was reconstituting his nuclear weapons programs; he had huge stocks of chemical and biological weapons that could threaten the U.S. And finally, that Saddam was working with Al Qaeda. According to some polls, as much as 70 percent of the public believed this. It now seems clear that these were all falsehoods. The lies and deceptions Bush and his minions were feeding to the media are making their way into public discourse and are being covered fairly extensively in columns by Paul Krocj^tait and Maureen Dowd in The New York Times, and in reporting at the Washington Post and elsewhere. T Sr* :'i But far, far less is known afebut^the, planning and the actoTs behind this foreign policy disaster* What r world views motivated the push to overreach and try ,to 4 q « |n a te the^globe, with franq^step nuaj^er one? power strug'gle$ after the attacks of 9/11 led,the U.S. to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11? The reminder that the media often reports the {"news" as fed to it by those in .poWer, skipping the real news, is good reason for the continued existence of Project Censored. The-progfilft, now in its 27th year, enlists about 200 students and faculty from Sonoma State University to review under-reported stories from around the country and compile a list of the top 10 "censored stories" as well as 15 runners-up. The pro ject's mission: "to stimulate responsible journalists to provide more mass-media coverage of those under-cov ered issues and to encourage the general public to demand mass-media coverage of those issues or to seek information from other sources." Most of the stories on Project Censored's Top 10 relate to the U.S.'s war on terrorism and the invasion of Iraq. This emphasis indicates how, on one hand, these issue dominate the news; on the other, it sug gests how little news consumers really understand about how the invasion happened and why. Taken together, these stories paint a chilling picture of a long-ranging plan to dominate huge sections of the globe militarily and economically and, in the course of it, to silence dissent, curb civil liberties and undermine workers' rights. Some of the information published as part of the project is pretty shocking, such as the the U.S.'s removal of 8000 incriminating pages from Iraq's weapons report to the U.N., or Donald Rumsfeld's possi ble plan to deliberately provoke terrorists. Other issues, such as the attacks on civil liberties, have been covered in the mainstream press but not as comprehensively as Project Censored would like to see. H a r e

The war on terrorism has also had the convenient side benefit for conservatives of making it easier for employers and the government to suppress organized labor in the name of national security. For exam ple, in October 2002 Bush was able to force striking International Longshore and Warehouse Union members back to work in the San Francisco Bay Area in the name of national safety. Chicago journalist Lee Sustar noted that labor coverage is usually woefully inadequate in the main stream media, even though union membership, while shrinking, still makes up a national constituency 13 million strong. "Twenty years ago every paper had a beat reporter on labor who knew what was going on," he said. "Today that's not the case. Besides a token story on Labor Day or a human-interest story here and there, you don't see coverage of labor. You only see coverage from the business side," said Sustar. (Steven Greenhouse, the labor reporter for The New York Times, is one obvious exception to Sustar's claim.) Ann Marie Cusac, whose story for The Progressive about the decimation of unions was cited, said she thinks the position of organized labor is worse than it has ever been. She combed National Labor Relations Board files for egregious examples of the lengths to which employers will go to bust unions. And she found a lot. "They had a woman with carpal-tunnel syn drome pulling nails out of boards above her head, because they wanted her to go on disability so she couldn't organize," she said. "But she did it, even knowing she might disable herself. The willingness of people to sacrifice, because they know how important it is to unionize, is a sign of hope." Sources: Z Magazine, (1 1 /2 0 /0 2 ), War Times (1 0 /1 1 /0 2 ), The Progressive (1 1/03), The American Prospect (3/03).

The potential closing of access to digital information is a development that could have a harmful effect on the powerful role online media plays in side-stepping media gatekeepers and keeping people better informed. "The FCC and Congress are currently overturning the public-interest rules that have encouraged the expansion of the Internet up until now," writes Arthur Stamoulis, whose story was published in Dollars and Sense. The Internet currently provides a buffet of independent and international media sources to counter the mostly homogenous offerings of mainstream U.S. media, especially broadcast. As the shift to broadband gains momentum, cable companies are trying hard to dominate the market and eventually control access. .» ' In 2002 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to allow cable networks to avoid common-carrier requirements. Now the giant phone companies’ who offer corftpetitive DSL * services, want the same freedoms to control access to who uses their lines. In the long run, instead of the thousands of small ISP services to choose-from, the switch from dial-up to broad band means users will have less and le$s' choice over who provides theirtnternet access. While the media finally woke up and gave significant coverage to the recent public rebellion against the FCC, which voted to increase media concentration even further, there has been scant coverage of the possibility that the Internet as we know it might be lost.

"The U.S. is a signatory to nine multilateral treaties that it has either blatantly violated or gradu ally subverted," says Project Censored. These include the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the Treaty Banning Antipersonnel Mines and the Kyoto Protocol on global warming. Just as the Bush administration is crowing about the possibility of Saddam Hussein manufacturing nuclear or chemical weapons, it is violating treaties meant to curb these threats, including the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty and the Chemical Weapons Commission.

blessingthe boats The eighth story on the list deals with another subject victims have tried to get into the main stream media for over a decade: the U.S.'s use of depleted uranium in Iraq, in both the recent inva sion and in the Gulf War. Depleted uranium (D.U.) was also used in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Bosnia. The sources cited, including the hard-core porn magazine Hustler, note that cancer rates have skyrocketed in Iraq since the first Gulf War, most likely because of the massive contamination of the soil with D.U. from the explosive, armor-piercing munitions. U.S. soldiers are also victims of this travesty, suffering Gulf War syndrome and other ailments that many feel sure are linked to their exposure to D.U. ‘ ^ Reese Erlich, a freelance journalist who reported on the topic for a syndicated radio broadcast and related Web site report, said that the federal government has dealt with the issue of D.U. much as the tobacco industry deals with its liability problems. "They'll fog the issue so no one can say for sure what's happening," he said. "They'll commission studies so they can say, 'There are conflicting reports,' and 'We need more information.'" He noted that while the U.S. media is quiet about the issue, it is a hot topic in the interna tional press. "When you get outside the U.S., the media is much more critical," he said. "They refer to it as a weapon of mass destruction. This will be a legacy the U.S. has left in Iraq. Long after the electricity is repaired and the oil wells are pumping, children will be getting cancer. The U.S. knew this would happen. It can't claim ignorance."

Poverty, Women's Worse

. the

Eurot Another Reason for the Invasion of Iraq

■Mt-*

Though his work isn't dted here, Reese Erlich also reported on the topic of the ninth story on the list, the continuing poverty, civil disruption and repression of women in Afghanistan. While the country has virtually dropped off the radar screen in the U.S. press and public consciousness, it is suffering its worst decade of poverty ever. Warlords and tribal fiefdoms continue to rule the coun try, and women are as repressed as ever, contrary to the feel-good images of burqa-stripping that have been broadcast in the media here. Sources: The Nation (10/14/02), Left Turn (3-4/03), The Nation (4/29/02), Mother Jones; (7-8/02) mainstream coverage: Toronto Star (3/2 /0 3 ).

World Austerity t Coming Soon to Near l o u . Reform Up for but Met

While Afghanistan is being essentially ignored, the tenth story on the list shows how African countries are getting plenty of attention from the U.S. — but not the kind of attention they need. These stories deal with the formation in June 2002 of the New Partnership for Africa's Development, or NEPAD, by a group of leaders from the world's eight most powerful countries (the G8) who claim to be carrying out an anti-poverty campaign for the continent. But the group does n't include the head of a single African nation, and critics charge that the plan is more about opening the continent to international investment and looting its resources than fighting poverty. "NEPAD is akin to Plan Colombia in its attempt to employ Western development techniques to provide economic opportunities for international investment," says Project Censored.

Change? It can be subtle or extreme but change can be liberating. At Eyes of the World we have the cool, the crazy, the classic

reporter for the typically reserved Washington Post, observed, “In this age o f corporate media conglom eration, when National Public Radio sounds as safe as a glass o f warm milk, ‘Democracy Now!’ retains a jagged and intriguing edge.” Liz Blum, with the Strafford, Vermont-based Upper Valley Peace and Justice Group, is coordi nating a petition effort to bring that edge to VPR. She says the group has gathered more than 2000 signatures. David G oodm an — Amy’s W aterburydwelling brother and a contributing writer for Mother Jones — says that m any V PR listeners have independendy requested the program during fundraising drives, albeit in a scattered fashion. It’s not clear whether lobbying the station — however coordinated the effort may be — will have any effect; V PR doesn’t w ant the show. Members tffth e C om m unity Advisory Board (CAB), who serve as the stations program m ing focus group, generally concur that the show is an

found across the co untry... is that in terms of fundraising, it beats ‘M orning Edition’ and ‘All Things Considered’ hands down ... and it brings in audiences that they don’t traditionally reach.’’ Denis M oynihan o f “Democracy Now!” points to the show’s many professional accolades, among them the George Polk Award — one o f America’s most coveted and respected journalism honors — and the Alfred I. D uPont-Colum bia Silver Baton. “Those awards don’t go to ‘advocacy journalists, ”’ he says. “They go to the real journalists.” You get a sense o f what real journalism means to Amy Goodm an when she delivers her speech. In a low-pitched but bitingly clear voice, she speaks urgently o f the new Federal Com m unications Commission rules (“unprecedented in giving the few media moguls unbridled power”), o f George W. Bush’s “28-page gap” in the September 11th investigative report, and o f the sanitized coverage o f the war in Iraq. A nd she returns repeatedly to

tary and former chair o f the CAB explains, VPR “strives for journalistic neutrality. It doesn’t want to come across as advocating one side over another. It just tries to present all sides.” V PR has heard criticisms o f its news coverage — particularly during the build-up to the Iraq invasion — from listeners who were both hawks and doves. “T he station feels that if they get com ments from both sides, then they’re doing a pretty good job o f presenting all sides. If everybody’s complaining, then that’s a good sign,” says Clark. VPR President and General M anager M ark Vogelzang — who is also on the Board o f Directors o f National Public Radio — has the final say in program m ing decisions at the station. He expresses a firm disinterest in airing the show. N oting that 180,000 listeners count on the station to “provide them with the program m ing they’ve come to expect,” Vogelzang describes V PR ’s criteria for evaluating potential programs: “Does it meet the broad mission o f service to the community? Is it a program that has the kind o f quality and accu racy and fills the role o f a program that would match “All Things Considered,” “M orning Edition” or “PerformanceToday”?... We try to hold up that standard for every program that we carry — and I’m not sure that [we found that] in our hard look at ‘Democracy Now! ” David Goodman, who has been a guest on N PR ’s “Fresh Air” and “Talk o f the N ation,” dis agrees with VPR’s appraisal o f his sister’s show. Noting that VPR hosts frequendy editorialize (“Weekend Edition” host Scott Simon, for example, aired his support for the Iraq war on N P R and in the Wall Street Journal), Goodman explains, “We don’t say that Scott Simon should be pulled off the air because he supports the Iraq war, we just note that he comes to his job with a strong viewpoint. W hy is his acceptable and that o f Amy Goodman is not acceptable? There’s a simple answer: Scott Simon, when he speaks in favor o f the war, is echo ing the government line. W hen you speak out in any way that disagrees with the government, that’s called advocacy.” Amy Goodm an notes that dozens o f N P R affili ates already carry the show. “W hen ‘Democracy Now!’ comes to an N P R station, what we have

to criticize or question the powers that be. “You’ve got a government and an establishment that does very well protecting itself,” Goodman says. “We’ve got a fourth estate — a media — that’s supposed to be there as a watchdog for civil society. And we [the media] have a responsibility to go to where the silence is, and to investigate these sto nes. Goodman has seen little from the mainstream media to make her think they have the public inter est at heart. But she also has anecdotes that suggest the media do play — and can continue to play — a vital role in society. Goodman cut her journalistic teeth on Pacifica Radio (which launched “Democracy Now!” in 1996) at WBAI in New York. In 1970, Pacifica’s station KPFT was blown up by the Ku Klux Klan. “W hen the Exalted Cyclops went on trial, he said it was his proudest act,” Goodm an relates. “Why? Because he understood how dangerous Pacifica Radio is. Dangerous because it is a forum for people to speak for themselves, and when you hear someone speaking about their own experi ence, it breaks down racism and bigotry, carica tures and stereotypes.” Despite having witnessed and experienced some o f humanity’s most disheartening episodes (she once survived a massacre in East Timor in which 250 Timorese were killed around her by Indonesian sol diers wielding U.S.-furnished weaponry), Goodman is somehow not bitter. She was present in East Timor as the country achieved independence in 2002, and this gives her hope. “As we move into election year in this country, it really is a global election. People all over the world deeply care about who will lead, or mislead, this country,” she says. “And it’s up to us to decide what we want to present to the world; the sword or the shield.” As Goodman wrapped up her talk in Burlington, her voice frayed at the edges — she’d been speaking for more than two hours. A clutch of listeners kept her corralled at the podium another half hour before the events’ organizers finally shooed them away. Even without the broadcasting range of VPR, Goodman clearly is reaching a lot people — now. ®

The New York trio, composed of guitarist/vocalist Jason, "vintage carousel projector"-playing wife Tina Pina and their 9-year-old drummer-daughter Rachel, put a truly inventive spin on rock 'n' roll. While traveling around the country, the family purchases abandoned slide collections from yard sales and flea markets, then writes songs based on what photos are found inside.

SEVEN DAYS I September 24-october 01, 2003 I m u sic 3 7 A

re vie w th i< MICHAEL VEITCH, A NIGHT A T THE FLYNN (Self-produced, CD) Michael Veitch is a Vermont songwriter and environ mental activist — a longtime member of VPIRG who ran for the State Senate in the early 1990s. His musi is a savvy combination of informed protest songs anc sensitive love songs delivered with acoustic guitar and a softly soaring tenor voice. This new CD was recorded live at the Flynn Center in the summer of 2002 when Veitch warmed up for his old friend Shaw •Colvin. The short set of original material included on this promotional recording includes two of my favorit Michael Veitch songs: a sweet number called "Sunday Driving," about childhood road-trip memories; and "Box of Letters," a snippy piece about sending back an old girlfriend's letters on her wedding day (report edly a true story). The whole package — music and stage patter — showcases an unquestionably fine performer and songwriter. Veitch lives in New York State now, but plays often at coffeehouses and other venues in Vermont. Catch him when you can.

WARDS, W EAPONS OF M ASS DESTRUCTION (Self-released, EP CD)

v i r r r t V'.i

The Wards continue to amaze in their ability to stay true to their sound, cranking out classic Vermont oldschool punk rock that manages to sound current and also sounds pretty much like they did more than a decade ago. Of course, I can't remember ever hearing flute on a Wards record, and they do seem to be put ting out records that sound a little less crappy. But don't get me wrong, T Curley and company are still better at being The Wards than anyone else, and now they have some new songs to update their catalogue. This EP has Jive, including the amusingly obnoxious title track — which, in addition to flute, also has ; ^ maciine-gif# fire and bomb sound e f fe c t ^ - and the hilarious "Work Day," which plays the punk humdrum-and-bored card quite successfully. 'The Law" and "The Horror of It" are Wards insta-classics. It's great hearing the gang sneer "the laaaaaaw!" And, by the way, who does "Know What Rick Does?" So, yeah, it's time to update your Wards music collection.

JOSHE HENRY, 10 YEARS OF AMAZING SHIT

THAT YOU CAN'T BELIEVE (Black Hole Sound Gallery, CD) Burlington's Joshe Henry has made infamous dents in the local scene during the past decade. With a stream of self-released cassettes, 7-inch vinyl records and CDs, he has barraged the Queen City with viciously lo-fi, offbeat indie-pop. He skipped town for a few years to live on the West Coast, but now Henry is back, with his trademark madness intact. 10 Years o f Amazing Shit That You Can't Believe is a mammoth, 39-track collection spanning Henry's entire career. The disc starts with cuts from early tapes and finishes with unreleased tracks recorded recently for a new project. Through 10 Years? 74 minutes of music, Henry shows himself to be a talented artist who is unafraid of fucking with the rules of rock. The titles alone provide evidence of the songwriter's low-brow, smart-boy aesthetic. "Adam West Is Waiting for Me in Hell," "Reefer Magic," "Why Do Billy Joel Keep Be Calling My House" and "Who Do You Think You Am?" are funny enough even without pressing the play button. Don't expect any glistening stereo separation here. Even the newest tracks are caked in lo-fi hiss. Yet Henry's poor recording quality, along with his ear-straining, off-key vocals, have alw ays* been (somewhat) purposeful. Instead of trying to recreate his songs as speaker-massaging mate rial, Henry realized that a scratchy, cast-off feel best suits his tunes. While Henry's name may evoke chuckles or frowns from the indie community, it's impossible to ignore the devil-may-care pharm of his quijgj^epics^ ^ . ... ;*■# The 1997 "Braille Typewriter" Ounces along in a grungy haze while Henry recounts why Braille typewriters are cooler than the rest. " I Raped a Lamb" wraps lyrics such as " I figured out why no one likes me/I figured out why no one cares/I figured out why no one wants to talk to me/It's 'cos I raped a lamb/And I don't give a damn." OK, so this isn't for everyone, but if you're able to drop your politically correct inclinations for a sec, this shit is really funny. Henry continues with the same MO through the rest of the disc, dropping a hilarious a cappella cover of Hart & Rodger's classic "Blue Moon," and getting totally out there with the wasted cabaret pop of "Puke-Cumber." He even gets sweet on introspective ballads such as "Release." Some listeners will have no place for Henry's off-kilter ramblings, but if you're truly interested in the history of the Burlington music scene or are simply looking for a batch of deliciously unique pop, you can't go wrong with this Amazing Shit.

"Seven Days, Two Weeks" by James Teuscher

PHOTO Marc Awodey

towe is famous for its varied seasonal activities. W inter skiing, autumnal leafpeeping and summer fly-fishing are probably the tourist faves. The Helen Day Art Center has found a good way to fill the gap between fishing and foliage with its annual “Exposed!” out door sculpture show. For the last 12 years, HDAC has been planting sculpture around the vil lage at about the time farmers are har vesting pumpkins in the fields. This year’s artistic crop seems literally smaller than in previous years, but the 15 works in the show are mostly memorable and well worth the walking — or biking — tour. The reason the exhibit seems more modest is that fewer large-scale works are present this year. An exception is the 7-foot-tall “A Piece of Hope” by Tari Swenson and Chris Curtis. The form is a vertical, oblong swirl in stainless steel that has a calligraphic flair. Kathryn Lipke’s “Sailing Into the W ind” and James Teuscher’s “Seven Days, Two Weeks” are also larger pieces. Both are sited along the Stowe Recre ation Path and are made with natural materials. Both pieces also consist of two upright elements. It would be a stretch to say both artists are making a refer ence, consciously or subconsciously, to the twin towers of the World Trade Center, but its interesting that two of the larger-scale pieces in “Exposed!” are dual verticals. Lipke sited “Sailing Into the W ind” about 20 yards from the rec path. The two parts of her piece are tall, straight poles that each hold aloft a pointed ves sel, or boat form, with copper tips. The vessels have several layers of metaphorical meaning, and their location off the beat en path creates the feel of a sacred space. Teuscher’s “Seven Days, Two Weeks” is a pair of roughly hewn towers, each con structed from seven stacked cedar chunks. The two towers are about 7 feet high and have nice tension because they are a litde disjointed as they rise into the air.

Cold C re e k M an o r ★ ★

SH O RTS AMERICAN WEDDING* ★

ts trailers and T V ads send the clear message that Cold Creek M anor is a supernatural thriller along the lines o f The A m ityville Horror, but the truth o f the m atter is considerably more earthU P A bound. T he new film from Mike C R E E K {Leaving Las Vegas) Figgis is, in fact, a Quaid and barely disguised rehash o f Straw Dogs, Stone mind Sam Peckinpahs blood-drenched 1971 their manor saga about a nebbishy guy married to in the new a sexy blonde and forced to go postal derivative on local ruffians who violate the sanc film from tity o f his home. In the D ustin Hoffm an role, we Mike Figgis. now have Dennis Q uaid doing his best wormboy impression as a neb bishy producer o f docum entary films. Sharon Stone’s the sexy blonde. The two leave the Big Apple to find the good life in pastoral upstate New York. They do find a great deal on a once-grand estate that’s in foreclosure. Unfortunately, they also find the prop erty’s previous owner. Or, rather, he finds them . There’s just one local ruffian this time. H e’s played by a sweaty, unshaven Stephen Dorff, who appears to be doing his best impression o f Kiefer Sutherland in surly sociopath mode. N o sooner have Q uaid, Stone and their kids moved into this place than D orff strolls in uninvited and makes himself at home. This m ight be a good time to talk about the succession o f laughably

improbable developments that consti tute the story’s foundation: The family moves to the country when one o f the children is nearly hit by a car. Like people don’t get hit by cars in the country. W hen the family arrives, the home contains not only D orff’s fur nishings but also all his personal prop erty and private things — along with those o f his family — left out as though he’d only gone to the corner store and not to prison. Yet there’s no discussion o f this peculiar state of affairs when the Quaids move in. W hen D orff walks in on them and announces he’s the former owner, he isn’t met with protests or threats to call the police. H e’s invited to dinner. The guy might as well be carrying a sign that reads “Hayseed Psycho,” and yet these people don’t just offer him a meal, they offer him a job fixing up the place. There are lots more examples, but let’s moVe on. It’s not entirely fair to say the movie’s a total rip-off o f Straw Dogs. There’s also a stretch where it rips off Cape Fear (which is coinciden tal since Juliette Lewis plays a m inor part in Figgis’ film as well as that of M artin Scorsese’s Cape Fear remake). The scenes in which a shirtless D orff plays with Q uaid’s head by salivating ominously over his wife and teenage daughter are lifted almost verbatim, though the young actor proves a semi

comical stand-in for a shirtless Robert M itchum . O ne scene does stumble fully into the realm o f comedy. H oping to scare the city slickers out of the home he considers rightfully his own, D orff booby-traps the place with a variety of poisonous snakes. Family members each make the discovery at more or less the same m om ent and react by running through the house hollering, “SNAKES!” This includes the man of the house. T he sight o f all four streak ing back and forth like panicky pinballs has a cartoon quality to it, which Figgis attempts to counteract by hold ing his camera on them and shaking it wildly. I haven’t had as good a laugh at the movies in ages. Needless to say, the story builds to a climactic face-off. Along the way there are shocking revelations about D orff’s past, a num ber of murders and the m andatory rainstorm. Figgis has spent too many years crafting thoughtful, innovative films to have much of a knack for storytelling this mechanical, and here there are many moments indeed when he seems to be asleep at the wheel. It’s particularly regrettable that the movie’s climax is one o f them. Both the director and Sharon Stone have comebacks riding on this pic ture’s reception. Like the majority of people who wind up buying a ticket, they are in for a disappointment. (Z)

In the third chapter

of everybody's favorite boy-meets-bakedgood saga, high school is a memory and marriage is on the minds of Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan, Eugene Levy dispenses fatherly wisdom,' and Seann William Scott throws the mother of all bachelor parties. (R)

“O’Connor shows that this sw ing stuff is so d e e p ly engrained in his s o u l. . . the ghost of Stephane Grappelli is smiling." (Daytona Beach News-Journal) Thursday, October 2 at 7:30 pm Celebrated country/bIuegrass fiddler Mark O'Connor joins forces with two of jazz's top sidemen— guitarist Frank Vignola and acoustic bassist Jon Burr— for an evening of exhilarating music inspired by swing jazz legends Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, O'Connor’s mentor. Full of fire and grace, the Hot Swing Trio's music explores the threads connecting jazz, classical, and country music.

urn on the television to witness a Victorias Secret commercial with scantily clad supermodels being serenaded by an ofF-camera Bob Dylan crooning his mournful “Lovesick.” Head to The Roxy in Burlington to see the singer-songwriter on camera in Masked and Anonymous, a misanthropic mess of a movie that proves he’s no slave to fashion — or plot. Costumed in ornate country/western outfits that overwhelm his already wispy frame, Dylan is cast as an enigmatic musical icon. Imagine that. Adept at hid ing in plain sight, the Jewish boy from

cameos from an all-star cast, that includes Mickey Rourke, Giovanni Ribisi, Cheech Marin, Bruce Dern, Val Kilmer and Ed Harris. The benefit show takes place on a soundstage surrounded by a carnival somewhat reminiscent of Rolling Thunder Revue, a mid-1970s Dylan tour with an entourage that included a tightrope walker, a fire-eater and an astrologer. Turkish vocalist Sertab Erener renders a tune from that era, “One More Cup of Coffee,” with a catchy Middle Eastern arrangement. It’s among more than a dozen Dylan songs on the soundtrack — one played by a Japanese band and another by Italian rappers — that lift the story from the chaos of its failed good intentions. The self-referential picture gives cinematic life to the kind of lyrics that Dylan has always penned about wanderers, mythic lost souls, doomed romance and the corruption of humanity. Yet he remains bafflingly taciturn through out the film’s nightmarish narrative, inex pressive except for a few brief tears that might have been created with makeup. Fate doesn’t even visibly react when a little girl (Tinashe Kachingwe)-sings “The Times They Are A-Changin’” in a beauti ful voice that’s full of hope for the future.

The self-referential picture gives cinematic life to the kind of lyrics that Dylan has always penned about wanderers, mythic lost souls, doomed romance and the corruption of humanity. Minnesota long ago began to disguise himself as a cowboy-drifter with Woody Guthrie ideals, Johnny Cash mystique and Willie Nelson outlaw wiles. Dylan’s character, Jack Fate, emerges from jail in a post-apocalyptic society akin to the one depicted in Blade Runner. The 1982 sci-fi thriller envi sioned Los Angeles as a decrepit Third World metropolis populated by Asians; Masked presents the City of Angels as a civil-war-torn banana republic, where most residents are Latino or black. Fate is the estranged son of a musta chioed dictator, essentially an archetypal South American tyrant. There’s a bit of Oedipal fandango in the script — co written by Dylan (with director Larry Charles) under the pseudonym “Sergei Petrov” — when flashbacks reveal the protagonist dallying with his dad’s mis tress (Angela Bassett). He is bailed out of the hoosegow by Uncle Sweetheart (John Goodman), a flimflam man working on a questionable concert broadcast with TV producer Nina Veronica (Jessica Lange) — ostensi bly to raise money for an impoverished populace living in Baghdad-like ruins. Unable to book Bruce Springsteen or Sting, the promoters hire Fate but ask him to perform non-Dylan anthems from the 1960s such as “Street Fighting Man” and “Eve of Destruction.” Instead, he delivers a haunting versioii o f “Dixie,” an anthem from the 1860s. In this perplexing scene, the crowd is • composed of non-white people seeming ly so nostalgic for the land of cotton that they applaud and cheer. Jeff Bridges portrays a journalist who probably typifies all the inquisitive reporters Dylan has ever ridiculed in real life; Penelope Cruz plays the writer’s reli gion-obsessed girlfriend, Pagan. Listen for Dylanology in-jokes, and watch for

Jack Fate's pal Bobby Cupid (Luke Wilson) gives him a battered guitar that supposedly once belonged to Blind Lemon Jefferson. That legendary roots musician is one of many celebrated in a documentary series beginning this Sunday night on Vermont Public Television. The Blues is the brainchild of executive pro ducer Martin Scorsese, who directs the first of seven feature-length programs. - His segment, “Feels Like Going Home,” surveys the genre’s origins. As host of this odyssey, young guitarist Corey Harris jams with Mali’s Ali Farka Toure and the Mississippi Delta’s Willie King, who says the blues must’ve been handed down by God for people “to ease their worried minds.” The second episode, Monday’s “The Soul of a Man,” is from German director Wim Wenders. Among other things, he considers some contemporary female pur veyors of the blues: Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams and Shemekia Copeland. Charles Burnett explores the music’s history through memories of his own heritage in “Warming by the Devil’s Fire,” on October 1. Two days later, in “Red, White and Blues,” Brit Mike Figgis traces the influence of this American art form on U.K. rockers such as Van Morrison and Jeff Beck. The finale on the 4th comes courtesy of “Piano Blues,” by jazz aficionado Clint Eastwood. A week of The Blues could be a balm for many worried minds. ®

CHANGING LANES Richard Shindell's music is as eclec tic as his life. He was raised in Long Island, played music on Parisian streets, gave the priesthood a try and ultimately made his home in Argentina. With hundreds of stories to tell, Shindell takes listeners on a musical journey populated by nuns, jilted lovers and interrogators. Joan Baez has called him the "best singer-songwriter of this era," and his baritone voice has been com pared to that of REM front man Michael Stipe. Shindell kicks off the Lane Series with a cryptic ode to the Virgin Mary, lighthearted ballads, adulterous love songs, tunes about road rage and melodies that skewer religion, politics and war.

Saturday in Montpelier, I saw th e Knight o: the Woeful Figure, Don Quixote. He wore a beat-up helmet, battered work gloves, ratty sneakers with no laces, and pants spotted blac and greasy. His shield was a dirt-scabbed hub cap, his lance an old broomstick handle. Ridint faithful Rozinante, a rusted-out boy's bike, he was popping a wheelie and about to jump an up-ended shopping cart. The sixth annual Celebrate the Winooski River festival, including parade, river sing, water games and dance, was under way in the Carr Lot, former metal scrap yard and pro posed future site of a downtown riverfront park. Dredged in recent days by 40 volunteers the Winooski offered up its conglomerate detritus — bottles, hoses, wire, clothing, buckets, doors, tools, broken glass — to sculptors of all ages, including Frances, 3, wearing a Dean sticker on her T-shirt. "It's stinky. Daddy," she said. "My hands are doowty." Prior to festivities, having gleaned debris fo intrinsic artistic value, local artists had sculpte and duct-taped thought-provoking junk art, on display until September 28. "Guy on Bike on Shopping Cart on Wood" — the modern-day Man of La Mancha I spotted when first approaching the site — is part of that exhibit. Another sculpture incorporated a soggy textbook lying open in a mildewed suitcase. The textbook's title: Invention and Inquiry. A1 the top of the open page, a question: "Is this subject part of something larger?" Peter Fischer, scrap man, artist and over seer of the sculpture site, compared the pro ject with the work of Andy Goldsworthy, a contemporary artist noted for including rocks, leaves and natural objects in his work. He's depicted in the film Rivers and Tides, playing at Montpelier's Savoy Theater. "It's about a way of seeing the world," said Fischer. 'Transforming things by looking creatively." In the Cervantes book that bears his name, Don Quixote spies two great waterwheels in the middle of the river. He cries, 'They look like water-mills, I grant you, but they are no such things." It's all a matter of perspective.

"Edwin Black is a dangerous man," an Esquire reporter has written. "He tells us things we don't like to hear." The award-winning author-journalist has spent years digging into ^ America's ugly past to reveal truths that sometimes hurt. His latest work. War Against the Weak, chronicles this country's underground campaign to create a white, Nordic master race through the sham science of eugenics. After perusing thousands of documents in archives around the world, including in Vermont, * Black discovered that philanthropic American corpo rations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Institution helped found and fund ethnic cleansings in the United States and Germany. His exhaustive research hits home this week when he discusses the book at Ohavi Zedek Synagogue.

CHOICE VOICES "Too often when people see a group of African-American singers they assume that it's a gospel choir. But we're not a gospel choir," asserts Alvin Tuck, director of the Selma High School Choir. For nine years he has rehearsed his student singers for up to three hours a day, five days a week, to perfect their performance in Renaissance, Baroque, classical and contemporary genres. Although they are nationally renowned for their renditions of Negro spirituals and took first place at this year's Black Caucus competition in Harlem, the members believe their pro fessionalism and musical diversity sets them apart from other high school ensembles. This week, 48 members from the 150-person choir travel north to stretch their cords in churches and schools throughout Chittenden County.

DON DEAL?

community gives voice to issues surrounding

Lorenzo da Ponte's Don Giovanni has all the makings of a deliciously juicy story: sex, lies, mur der, sword fights and a revenge-seeking statue. Add Mozart's amazing arias and it's no wonder that for more than two centuries it has been one of the most widely performed pieces in the world. Bringing the operatic action to the North Country is the world-renowned Teatro Lirico D'Europa. A full orchestra and a chorus of awe-inspiring international singers tell the story of an Italian stallion with an insatiable appetite for sex. The Don undermines boyfriends, hus bands and fathers and scorns a slew of women until his lasciviousness finally catches up with him. The moving performance is delivered in the original language, with super titles for those who non capiscano Italiano. This story is likely to speak for itself.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This is a perfect astrological moment for you to become more receptive, Aries. That doesn’t mean you should become a lazy do-nothing bereft of goals, wait ing around passively for whatever hap pens to come along. The receptivity I’m advocating is ferocious. It’s a robust readiness to be surprised and moved; a vigorous intention to be awakened to truths you don’t expect and can’t control. W hen you’re truly receptive, you have strong ideas and a powerful will and a passion for dissem inating your unique blessings, but you’re also inspired by a humble cer tainty that you have a lot to learn, knowing that new teaching might come from unimaginable sources.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): During my recent visit to the Burning Man festival, I faced a dicey dilemma: what to do with my eyes as I talked with the many women who wore no clothes above the waist? At first I stead fastly kept my gaze from dipping below their necks. Then I decided that was silly; if they were strongly opposed to me looking at their breasts, they wouldn’t be naked. O n the other hand, I didn’t want to be sneaky, stealing furtive glances when they were momentarily distracted. Ultimately, I asked each woman for permission to indulge in a brief ogle. T hat way we could get the issue out o f the way and conduct our conversations in peace. They all thought this was a sensible approach. I hope this tale will inspire you, Taurus, to deal expeditiously with the 900-pound gorilla in the comer of your world.

singing bird will come.” Have you been doing that, Gemini — cultivating the green bough in your heart? Even when the world around you has been a barren wasteland? If so, the singing bird will alight on your inviting perch very soon. If you haven’t, get to work immediately and the singing bird may yet arrive by mid-October.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): I predict that in the coming week you will be invited to partake in a mythic feast. While a gourmet meal may be involved, the essence of the experience will be metaphorical food that nourish es your soul. This uncannily satisfying sustenance will, for all intents and pur poses, be a gift from eternity — a blessing that comes from outside of time. It will be intimately meaningful for the person you are now, but even more so for the person you are striving to become.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you’re fascinated by really big secrets, it will be a banner week for digging up sup pressed evidence about the lies and deceptions your government is trying to get away with. If mid-sized secrets are more your style, it’ll be a good time to uncover the inner workings of your social circle, place of employment or local scene. And if you’re the kind of person who gets most turned on by small, subtle secrets, this is a perfect moment to find out what you’ve been hiding from yourself.

to clear your beautiful mind of envy and self-doubt, as well as the pushy expecta tions of people who don’t know the intricacies of what you’re doing. Now here’s the most important thing: Use your fine mind to figure out how to be motivated by pleasure, not pressure.

“If I keep the green bough in my heart,” says the Chinese proverb, “the

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Have you ever played the game of “Tell me the story of all your scars?” It’s best to do it when you want to break through to a deeper level of intimacy with a friend or loved one. “How’d you get that blotch on your knee?” he or she begins, and you describe the time in childhood when you fell out of a tree onto the sidewalk. Then maybe he or she says, “W hy do you always look so sad when you hear that song on the radio?” And you narrate the tale of how it was playing when an old flame broke your heart. The questions and answers continue until you unveil the entire history of your hurts, both phys ical and psychic. I suggest you treat yourself to this ritual in the coming week, Pisces. The astrological omens suggest you can achieve a miraculous healing in the presence of a good lis tener who is curious about your mys teries and skilled at helping you find redemption in your wounds. ®

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): My friend Jane Heaven lives by a motto that would be a good tonic for you this week: “the ruthless truth, kindly told.” In other words, it won’t be smart or effective for you merely to expose the sticky subtexts that everyone’s trying to avoid dealing with. You’ll have to convey those unsettling revelations with all the ten der compassion you can muster. Expressions of tough love will be halfassed unless the love is at least twice as big as the toughness.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here are tasks you should studiously avoid in the coming week: painting the bathroom, fixing the smoke alarm, changing the burned-out light in the hallway, getting an air freshener for the car, and buying new batteries for the TV remote control. According to my analysis o f the astrological omens, you should instead seek out the following kinds of experiences: Delight in your sudden access to spiritual resources that have been closed to you before; commune with beauty that does not depend on artifice; and capitalize on your new ability to change something about your life that you thought would remain stuck forever.

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): “Artist Jeff Koons, author Martin Amis and musician Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs once had a genius for knowing how the times were changing,” wrote Nicholas Blincoe in Black Book maga zine. “They always managed to stay ahead of the curve. Then, suddenly, instead of surfing the waves, they scrambled for dry land. Each tried to conjure up stability and solidity through more and more monumental undertakings. They lost their former lightness and fluidity, becoming mired in pomposity.” This is a worthy medi tation for you, Capricorn. Every suc cessful person, you and I included, has to periodically negotiate the turning point that Koons, Amis and Combs seem to have failed to master. We’re all tempted to cling to the winning formula that brought us so far. But this is a per fect time to release your attachment to and dependence on your past triumphs, and go off in quest of fresh magic.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): O n the eve of the American Revo lution in 1775, Paul Revere rode his horse from Charlestown to Lexington, Massachusetts, warning the local popu lation that an invasion force o f British troops was on its way. Last night I dreamed you were like a modern Paul Revere, only instead of yelling “The British are coming!” you were shout ing, “The smiling agents of confusion are coming!” W hat do you think that means, Scorpio? Here’s one conceivable dream interpretation: In your waking (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): life, you should expose the dangers Please remember that you are not com peting in a sprint, Virgo. You are run. posed by fuzzy-*brained catalysts, no matter how wHl-intentioned they ning a niatarhon. You should therefore might seem.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

CAPRICORN

up in the morning to salsa music and start dancing while you’re still halfasleep; talk about your problems until you’ve talked them to death; get the equivalent of a first kiss or a last laugh; seek out a mystical sign from an enig matic saint wearing black gloves and a wry smile; call yourself Mumso, Mutiny or Goofmaster as you upgrade your graffiti-scrawling skills; join Charles M. Young’s campaign to change the name of the Pentagon to the “Emma Goldman World Cathedral of Ecofeminist Goddess Worship”; and be a vivid embodiment of Deena Metzger’s idea that “Beauty appears when something is completely and absolutely and openly itself.”

auto motives GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL WORLD

Vantage Points

ii\kt hat’s hot in the auto biz?” everyone always wants

y y know. The question almost never has anything to do with minivans, however, even though that’s w most families really need for their helter-skelter lifestyles. But this week, for a change of pace, mi; vans are IT. 2003 H onda Odyssey EX

Honda showed up with the present full-size Odyssey minivan in 1999, which was almost 20 years late. The Dodge Caravan, after all, hit the scene in the early 1980s. No matter. Honda had marked the time well, watching the foibles and f ures of its rivals. When the Odyssey finally complet ed its epic journey from drafting table to show room, it appeared to spring fully formed from the forehead of Zeus. Today, minivan cognoscenti con sider this Honda the benchmark by which all other minivans are measured. The Odyssey is unique among toaster-shaped vehicles in that it sprints, corners and brakes almost like a sports car. That 3.5-liter V6 underhood makes 240 horsepower and 242 ft.-lbs. of torque thanks to variable valve timing that’s more typical of Honda’s S2000 roadster. The suspension is all-inde pendent, of the double-wishbone variety, in fact; and brakes are anti-lock discs at each corner. This minivan is capable of zero-to-60 in under eight sec onds, for crying out loud. What’s more relevant, perhaps, is the Odyssey’s seven-passenger seating combined with a cargo capacity that ranges from 31 to 146 cu. ft. Particularly clever is the way the third-row bench abracadabras completely out of sight into a pocket in the floor. The dual power-sliding side doors take some get ting used to, since they operate with a mind of their own after you shove them to get them started or “click 'em” with the key fob. Some folks admit to getting bamboozled with the fold-and-tumble rou tine that makes the rearmost seat disappear. These kvetches have done nothing, however, to shorten Odyssey waiting lists at Honda dealers around the country. There are hints that a redesign is on the way eventually. Don’t know when; but more to the point, don’t know why.

When the Odyssey ambushed Chrysler’s found ing family of minivans in 1999, DaimlerChrysler responded with a 2001 makeover that brought the world’s original minivan into the 21st century. Chrysler’s latest Town & Country is plush, roomy and versatile. One noticeable holdover, of course, is the 3.8-liter pushrod engine. It only makes 215 hp, compared to the Odyssey’s 240 hp,

but torque is a tad superior at 245 ft.-lbs. Curiously, both minivans deliver identical fuel economy with regular fuel: 18 mpg/city and 25 mpg/highway. One big difference in the powertrain, however, is the Chrysler’s four-speed automatic transmission, versus Honda’s five-speed. If you never touch the shifter after you put it in Drive, you’re not likely to notice much; but if you like to downshift out of overdrive for in-town driving, four speeds deliver a bit less finesse than five. As for ride, the Town & Country, with its frontstrut suspension and solid-axle rear set-up is notice ably more ponderous than the zippy Odyssey. Call it stately, if you want. For minivan duties, it’s perfectly adequate; and to some it may indeed feel more comfortable due to its slightly softer ride. By far, this Chrysler’s forte is its way with cargo, albeit in paradoxical terms. With all seven seats in use, the rear cargo hold measures only 17.8 cu. ft. — about half that of the Odysseys. Fold, flatten and remove what you can, however, and interior storage space balloons to 168 cubes, a 15 percent advantage. For all of Odyssey’s whipper-snapper gusto, Chrysler still leads in minivan sales. It’s fair to sug gest, however, that Chrysler’s Town & Country minivan is at the top of its game today because the Honda Odyssey has dared it to be. ®

the love counselor Dear Lola, I worked with a guy for a few months this summer whom I never gave much thought to. Then, a few of us went out for drinks a couple of times after work. This guy and I had really great conversations and didn't just shoot the aver age drinks-with-a-co-worker bullshit. The third time we hung out was actually just after my last day on the job, and just before I left the country for a few months. Figuring I had nothing to loose, I spent the night. Everything was great. He even told me how much he enjoyed talking with me (this is after we had sealed the deal). Here's the thing: Did he make the move because it was "now or never," or was it more like a perfect opportu nity, since 48 hours later I'd be half way around the world? My problem is that I'm still thinking about him. Do I send a postcard, or play it cool? Little help here. Anxious Abroad Dear Anxious, You send the postcard. Otherwise, how will he know what you're thinking? Worst that can happen: He doesn't respond, and then you'll have your answer. Love, Lola
