What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? Find a cure for HIV, cancer and alcoholism, and finally quit smok ing.

— Michael J. Nedell Proofreader, B u r lin g to n F ree P re ss

Burlington Nothing. If I knew I was going to succeed it would take the fun out of it, and there would be nothing to work towards.

— Dick Chodkowski Partner, Monroe St. Books Middlebury I would write a song that would unite the world against hatred, | fear and pain, and sing | it like tomorrow was I never guaranteed.

WE TRAINED BIN LADEN Love everyone! When you’re at war, Bushman doesn’t call it murder. Sorry to all of you people having to go through all of this mayhem, but you certainly do deserve it. You train people in our military death camps every day to kill without remorse and figure no one else can. You jest. Our President Bushman and his murderous, unaccountable military have murdered and polluted in almost every country on this planet in the name of democracy. It’s about power and oil, not people and our environment. Bushman quoted Scripture in a speech last week, but church-going people don’t train people to kill, and certainly don’t spy on and pollute their neighbors. People want to live in peace and get along with each other. But our government doesn’t. Thank you Mr. Reagan and Mr. Bush for training Mr. bin Laden in the ways of war and murder. It really hurts. — Mark Szymanski Burlington BUSH WAS IN CHARGE The more I read your interesting bent-to-the-left but worthwhile pub lication, the more I wonder what it was that sent a nice Irish-Catholic boy, a candidate for the priesthood, one Peter Freyne, over the edge into hard-core liberalism.

Describing “His Day” of September 11, 2001, in 60 column inches...he writes about the most horrific tragedy since Pearl Harbor (and even more horrific since so many innocent citizens of the world were murdered) with a rambling piece of nonsense with the primary theme of “where was President Bush?” Freyne liberally quotes his bigleague heroes, Dan Blather and Peter (still not an American citizen) Jennings, with their “Why isn’t Bush back in the Oval office?” rants as if their pronouncements are worth the air they pollute. He points to the likes of Joe Biden with this crap: “Dubya may be hiding at an undisclosed location but...Biden...is on TV, arms crossed in front of the Capitol, calling for calm. About time somebody did, eh?” The chances of Joe Biden being any kind of target except for hair replacement commercials is minimal. Well, Peter, a very small bit of research would have shown you that President Bush was in the (Flying) Oval Office, Air Force One, from which location he was (1) a bit bet ter protected from the Islamamaniacs flying to destroy the White House and (2) better prepared to deal with the existing tragedy. In the very unlikely event that it had occurred to you to try to get

some balance to your rhetoric, all you had to do was search Google or any other search tool for “Air Force One” and read about its capabilities... — James F. Daley Colchester NOT TIME TO SPLIT FIAIRS After reading Alisa Solomon’s piece [“Terrorism Comes to America,” September 12] I should like to express doubt that there is anything in the U.S. Constitution which requires America to commit suicide on behalf of some hair-split ting interpretation of the First Amendment on the part of overzealous libertarians. — Raymond E. Leary Shelburne BUSH CRITICISM INAPPROPRIATE To Peter Freyne: I have often dis agreed with opinions expressed in your column or with the way they are expressed, but never before have I been so moved to write in reply. In your column dated Sept. 19 [“Inside Track”], you described as “sickening” when a caller angrily reacted to your previous column. That week you had, as you put it, “expressed con cern” over the actions of President Bush on Sept 11. Expressing concern, of course, is part of our freedom of speech, an example of the liberty we hold so

dear in America. But you went way, way beyond “expressing concern.” Your childishly sarcastic description of President Bush as “the exNational Guard fighter pilot who bravely defended Texas airspace from the Viet Cong” was gratuitous and entirely inappropriate under the cir cumstances. Also, this week’s column express ing innocent surprise that someone would object to that was madden ingly disingenuous. I suppose I shouldn’t have expected you to refrain from being your usual smart ass self in such extraordinary times, but it would have been nice to see you rein in the sarcasm a little in the interest of national unity. After my initial anger at your Sept. 19 column, I concluded that if you see your role as being a divisive voice in a time of national crisis, when such people as Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton see fit to put aside partisan politics in sup port of the President, so be it. Just don’t insult your readers’ intelligence by feigning astonishment when someone objects. — Gregory K. Johnson Cambridge BIBLICAL TRUTHS I know you will want to be sensi tive to matters of religious belief in

Jeffords’ Straight Talk Jaws dropped across Vermont Friday evening as Vermont Public Television viewers listened carefully to Independent U.S. Senator Jim Jeffords’ answer to the question, “W hat did you think of the President’s speech last night?” Sen. Jeffords appeared on “Vermont This Week” via telephone from Capitol Hill. W hat everyone regarded as a softball question that O f Jeezum would patriotically knock over the centerfield fence turned into a line drive that struck the questioner, and the audience, right between the eyes. Oh, sure, it was an “excel lent” speech and the President delivered it “extremely well,” said Jeezum Jim, but Vermont’s legendary maverick wasn’t about to start pulling his punches. Sen. Jeffords, who’d visited Ground Zero in lower M anhat tan earlier in the week, said he was concerned that the President’s nationally televised speech had done little, if any thing, to calm the frantic fears of the American people. It was obvious that Jeezum hasn’t forgotten the key line from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 1941 “Day of Infamy” speech: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Jeffords said point-blank he had genuine “concerns” that Bush’s prime-time speech to the joint session of Congress the previous evening “raised the fears of the people.” He noted the sabre rattling, massive military mobilization and talk of a long, drawn-out war was “creating an economic problem with people staying at home.” To the shock of many viewers, Jeezum Jim called Dubya’s speech “overdone in the sense of rais ing the fears of the people right now. I know we have to increase our security,” said Jeffords, “but I don’t think we should raise the level of anxiety to the extent the President did last night.” As you know, the herd mentality dictates that all must strictly follow the leader in times of crisis. On Friday evening, however, Jim Jeffords issued a huge wake-up call, reminding everyone listening to the sound of his voice that we are not a nation of sheep. Guess what? He’s right. As far as we can tell, Sen. Jeffords of Vermont is the only member of Congress who had anything but canned, formulaic praise for the big Bush speech. At a time when criticism of the President for any reason is regarded by some as unpatriotic, Jeezum demonstrated not only his independence, but his courage, too. It is, after all, very much in keeping with the Vermont tradition he laid out for the nation on May 24 in his nationally televised speech from a Radisson Hotel ballroom stage. Among those singing the praises of Jeezum Jim this week is the Democrat he trounced in last November’s U.S. Senate race; Ed Flanagan told Seven Days he was watching the VPT program. Fast Eddie praised Jeezum for his “patriotism” and for “speaking boldly.” “W hat Jeffords said,” noted Flanagan, “was that we’re all for the President and horrified by the ter rorist acts, but why beat the drums of war with this plan that is endless and worldwide and has little to do with tracking down and snuffing out these terrorists?” Mr. Flanagan told Seven Days he’s noticed, “It’s the Vermonters in Washington who seem to be truly patriotic in focusing on tracking down the ' terrorists, instead of being distracted by parochial, self-serving initiatives.” Flanagan said Sen. Patrick Leahy deserves cred it for “blowing the whistle” on Attorney General John Ashcroft’s anti-terrorism proposal that “com promises the civil rights and liberties of lawful immigrants.” And he said Congressman Bernie Sanders did the right thing by “blowing the whistle” on the

Bush administration’s $15 billion bailout of airline shareholders.” The airline bailout, said Flanagan, “isn’t'going to track down terrorists and it isn’t going to save workers who are being laid off.” Now, five days after the greatest speech of George W. Bush's life, the anxiety level remains high. The airwaves are jammed with stories about the imminent threat of anthrax, botulism and/or bubonic plague sweeping across America, from the * “amber waves of grain” to the “purple mountains’ majesty.” And there on the news in plain English is the promise by Osama bin Laden to answer the U.S. military offensive with more bloody terrorist attacks on Americans and Jewish noncom batants wherever they may be. Fear is the enemy now, not hijacked airliners. The proof is that cash registers have stopped ringing from sea to shining sea. Airplane flights are being can celed for lack of passengers. The latest CNN poll ol the hour indicates 72 percent of the respondents want cockpit crews packing sidearms. W hat’s next, full-body MRIs for all passengers? Americans are staying close to the nest. Hope for the future is in awfully short supply. Tuesday in the Rose Garden, with the Japanese prime minister at his side, President Bush, free from his speech writers’ control, was back to his cowboy dialect of “smokin’ ’em out of their caves” and “gettin’ ’em running” — as if the template for battle is that of a Texas round-up of a band of renegade Injuns. The time for self-assessment must come -— the sooner the better. What the hell actually went wrong on September 11 ? Why were all the govern ment studies and warnings ignored? How did the CIA, FBI, INS and other government agencies screw up in such remarkable unison to allow this slice of Tom Clancy fiction to become reality? Until those holes are plugged, neither bombing and blood-letting on the other side of the planet, nor roadblocks and pocketbook searches at home will assuage our fears. Let’s face it — a tiny gang of well-organized madmen, smaller than a football team, has brought a “superpower” to a standstill. Excuse me, but there’s really no polite way to put this. Dear reader, please join me in saying loud ly and clearly — “F**k fear!” Enough already, dammit! Been there, done that. FDR was absolutely right. Let’s all unite in a com mon refusal to entertain the feeling of fear any longer. Let’s look one another in the eye, draw strength from our shared experience of the past two weeks and sink our teeth back into the life we’ve known and loved. Let’s go back to building the future. And let’s do it with a heightened awareness of what life’s priorities really are and treat one another with respect. We’re in this together and we’re in it for the long haul. Let’s be extra-vigilant, so that the patriotism of September does not become the blind nationalism of October. Let’s be on guard for the emergence of that form of patriotism that Guy de Maupaussant called “the egg from which wars are born.” O r what Oscar Wilde dubbed “the virtue of the vicious.” And let’s ponder those eloquent words of Adlai Stevenson, JFK’s United Nations ambassador in the early 1960s, who said, “Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.” Thanks, Jim. Thanks, Pat. Thanks, Bernie.

Curses, Foiled Again

Keep It to Yourself

District of Columbia police arrested two teen-agers after they brought a stolen rental car to an auto repair shop at the same time the rental company’s manager arrived in another car that needed work. “He jumped out and said, ‘Hey, that’s my car,”’ said Billy Melby, the repair shop’s owner. An off-duty police officer who also happened to be at the shop called for help.

Nicholas Kelleher, an inmate at Britain’s maximum-security Swaleside Prison on the Isle of Sheppey, figured out how to escape by connecting foil food trays to the electrical outlet in his cell, then adding brown sauce from the dining hall. The combi nation of electricity and the acid in the sauce burned the metal bars of his cell. He had cut through one bar and had two more to go when he shared his plan with a fellow prisoner, who promptly informed authorities.

What the World Needs Now To curb growing unemploy ment in Saudi Arabia since the collapse of oil prices in 1998, the government is encouraging Saudis to take up jobs as taxi drivers. Saudi bankers said that $53 mil lion has been allocated to provide soft loans to buy the vehicles in hopes of eventually creating up to 30,000 jobs. • Hundreds of entrepreneurs have taken up butterfly ranching to supply butterflies for wed dings. The Washington Times reported the insects, primarily monarchs and swallowtails, are packed in decorative boxes for a mass release, or come one to an envelope for individual guests to release instead of throwing rice or bird seed. They are shipped overnight in an iced container. One of the companies, Blessed Wings in Texas, which charges $95 a dozen for monarchs, advis es brides planning their wedding to designate a “butterfly-release coordinator.”

Opportunity Knocks Colorado Springs physicist John Jackson announced he is looking for a 5-foot-10, 175pound male volunteer who is will ing to be crucified. Although the successful applicant won’t have to have nails pounded into his palms, he will be hung on a cross as part of Jackson’s continuing experiments to determine the authenticity of the shroud of Turin. Jackson, a former Air Force Academy and University of Colorado professor, is one of 38 scientists from around the world permitted to examine the shroud in 1978. He and his wife operate the Turin Shroud Center, charg ing visitors $10 to watch an audiovisual presentation of Jackson’s research.

The Incidental Tourist Hillebrend Call, 82, traveled from Australia to Norway to visit

the North Cape plateau, then refused to enter when he learned there was a $25 admission charge. The plateau, Norway’s second most northerly point, is fenced off by a tourist center run by the Rica Hotel chain. “Everywhere else in the world, the scenery is supposed to be free,” Call told the newspa per Finnmark Dagblad. “What if we started charging tourists in Australia to look at our beautiful beaches?” • Bill Dorsey of Clarksburg, West Virginia, took a trip around the world but had no time to see any sights except from his seat because he made the tour in 61 hours and

Minister C.P. Thakur told parlia ment. “We want people to watch television.”

Strange Bedfellows Conservative Republicans have three times as many night mares as liberal Democrats, according to a study by a dream researcher from Berkeley, California.

he told the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Dreams in Santa Cruz that Republicans were much more likely to have lifelike dreams that resembled their daily lives, whereas the Democrats often had bizarre dreams with unfamil iar characters and settings and events that are improbable or impossible.

Animal Lovers Sheriff’s deputies in Dunn County, Wisconsin, accused Gary W. Otto, 47, of having sexual contact with cattle for the! second

p e r f e c t

time in two years. He was caught because suspicious farm owners had placed a motion detector in the milk house to record any movement after 12:30 a.m. and activate an alarm. • Authorities in Westmoreland County, Virginia, charged Sherwin Balderson, 80, with having sex with at least three cows in a pasture after he was filmed going from cow to cow wearing only a T-shirt, tennis shoes and sunglasses. Lt. Bill England of the Westmoreland Sheriff’s Office said county detective Merile Jones filmed Balderson after receiving com plaints. • Police in Valparaiso, Indiana, arrested Michael Bessigano, 30, after he admitted renting a motel room and having sex with a chicken. He explained he stole the chicken from a chicken farm, then took it to the motel and plucked its feathers so he could have sex with it.

Litigation Nation While serving time in a Michigan prison for armed rob bery, Chad Gabriel DeKoven filed a lawsuit asking for full-time per sonal attendants, thousands of trees and animals and precious metals. He also demanded a full pardon, public acknowledgment that he is the king of the Jews, peace in the Middle East and the return home of all U.S. military personnel within 90 days. The suit was dismissed.®

Celebrating

W hat's Your D a ily

ROOM TO GROW The term “sculpture garden” does not do justice to the rare species o f visual theater cultivated by K6n Mil ls. O n Saturday the Colchester creator threw a “party-performance and m ulti-m edia salon” at his Clay Point Road home that played out like a haunted forest for artsy adults. T he invitation-only event grew out of a desire to make his funky fairy-tale home available to artists yearround for intimate, house-style performances. But the star of this late-summer show was his remarkable back yard, which combines whimsical art installations with real horticultural achievements — the mulch paths alone are a marvel. Even w ithout dancers in oldfashioned dresses emerging amongst the trees and ornamental grass es, a stroll through his dense Alice in Wonderland garden was nothing less than surreal. It turned up Bergmanesque doors, artfully placed theater seats, a shrine to Elvis, woodstoves growing out of tree trunks, an old turntable poised to play “’S W onderful” and diner stools popping up out o f the ground at various heights, like mush rooms. The enchanting forest also revealed some high-tech surprises: a hologram that changes as you walk by it, a video m onitor playing clips by Vermont filmmakers John Douglas and W alter lingerer, random synthesizers em itting low-range growling soundscapes. Oneman gong show Brian Johnson added to the audio, as did David Kamm strum m ing Hawaiian lap steel guitar on an island in the goldfish pond. "Feel like you’re stoned yet?” a lellow traveler asked by the labyrinth, at the center oi which is a retro hair-dryer chair from a delunct beauty parlor. "Ken buys things, fie doesn t even know why,’ said wood-sprite guide and spoken-word artist Will Giblin. But Mills definitely has a vision, and about a hundred people took it in on Saturday. Enterprising arts Ians went for the view from the tower — the latest addition to his house, which is as eclectic as the grounds. “I’ve been planning this for years,” says Mills, who pro duced “Sun Zoom Spark with dancer Sara McMahon and is calling it the first in a series. So much for the “secret” garden. IN BRIEF T hirteen -year-old Vermont Magazine is under new m an agement. “Now I know what I don’t know,” says new owner Chris Belnap, who is also the proprietor o f a sheet-fed press in New York State that specializes in horticultural printing and packaging. Editorially, Belnap has nothing radical in the works. He plans to “continue to celebrate the people and culture and institutions oi V erm ont.” But m arketing the mag is another matter. “We are pretty sophisticated in mailing lists and the digital stuff,” says Belnap, 41, who lives lull-tim e in Vermont. “There are a num ber of marketing and distribution opportunities that heretofore have not been tried.” Former publisher David Sleeper gave it his best shot. H e’s given up glossy life to w ork full-time at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science . . . N ature is calling Mike BandelatO, too. After two years program m ing the Discover Jazz Festival, the 31-year-old has quit the culture thing in hopes o f spending a few m onths with a friend studying lemurs in Madagascar. He says “mutual philosophical dif ferences” w ith the Flynn Center are responsible for his resignation. He thought the jazz job should be full-time, but the powers wanted to keep it a part-tim e endeavor. For a while, Bandelato juggled his jazz fest duties with a job at All Points Booking. T h at gig’s up, too. But he presented Strangefolk on his own over Labor Day weekend and has all the necessary skills and experience to be a major player in the local concert prom otion scene. H e’ll be back — if lor no other reason than his beloved chocolate Lab . . . Plenty of benefit events are cropping up in the wake o f terrorist attacks on W ashing ton, D .C ., and New York City. French-born chef Madeleine Kamman has cooked up an original one. T he award-winning cook book author is conducting a culinary dem onstration at St. M ichael’s College as a way to raise money for the families ol fallen firefight ers. T he them e o f the $25 show is im m igrant eating — 18th-centu ry French dishes that might have survived the trip to the New W orld. “We are going to work mostly on birds,” she says, “and also things made w ith flour, pum pkins.” The food flies on O ctober 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Recital Hall . . . Theater artist Jennifer Bloomfield is the second recipient o f the Flynn C enter’s NASA “space” grant.,T he program gives selected artists free access to rehearsal facilities for the developm ent o f a new work. Bloomfield will use the time — and space — to figure out how to stage an epic play with 25 characters that spans 100 years o f history. “Her goal is to figure out how to put the production u p ,” says the Flynn’s Aimee Petrin. Consider Bloomfield “launched.” ®

T h e r* ? f a f h ' W h e n it com es to th e war on tobacco, Vermont's got m on ey to burn

B y George T habault ^ aybe you’ve seen the photo in restroom stalls f V i — a guy trying to mus cle a couch up the stairs all by himself, or a woman attem pting to give herself a haircut. O r the T V ad o f a husband lamenting the lung-cancer death of his 46year-old wife, w ith the punch line, “I guess I never thought of 23 as middle age.” Anti-tobacco efforts like these are lighting up all over the state, from research-based media spots for TV, newspaper and radio to com m unity-based projects like the one in South Burlington to rid doctors waiting rooms of magazines containing tobacco ads. They’re all part of a multim illion-dollar campaign to cut V erm ont’s smoking rates in half — from the current 22 percent o f adults (96,000 smokers) to 11 percent — by the year 2010. The war on “cancer sticks” is being paid for largely by the nearly $30 million Verm ont receives each year from the M aster Settlement

Agreement with the country’s biggest tobacco companies. About $17 million of that money supports the state’s Medicaid program, which pro vides direct health services to lower-income individuals and families. More than $7 million is spent by a range of state agencies

• Twelve percent of Vermont middle school students have smoked cigarettes at least once in the past 30 days. • O f middle-school students who smoke, 37 percent started before age 11. • Most student smokers, 60 percent, chose Marlboro cigarettes; Camel was the second choice at 9 percent. • More than two-thirds of all smokers say they would like to quit, but less than 5 percent manage to do so in any given year. • Tobacco kills nearly 1000 Vermonters every

never been in the business of managing expensive ad cam paigns, but the tobacco settle m ent has changed that. “Tobacco is legal and highly advertised, so we have to outsm art the tobacco industry. And that’s why counter marketing is crucial,” says Karen Garbarino, a 13-year health departm ent veteran and now head o f the Tobacco Control Program, which manages the state’s anti-sm oking battles. Before it began its new mar keting campaigns, the health departm ent brass got proposals from more than a dozen ad agen cies. T he Burlington firm Kelliher Samets Volk — whose corporate slogan is to “move peo ple by disrupting convention” — was tapped to handle the million-dollar-a-year account. “We need innovative ways that we can reach our audience,” G arbarino says. “Some o f the old public service announcem ents, the PSAs, they barely work for adults, and they’re not going to work for kids. So we needed an ad agency that understood that and was willing to go out there and w ork w ith these kids.” Part

of KSV’s charge, G arbarino adds, was to develop a campaign ihat would not only resonate with youth but at least in part, be developed by them. Yvonne Zietlow, KSV’s brand manager working as the state’s counterm arketing partner, says her firm has put a lot o f effort into two areas: understanding youth and youth prevention efforts, and prom oting the state’s new “Q u it Line, ’ a toll-free entry point for adults who w ant to

kick the habit. T he Q u it Line is operated 24 hours a day year-round by the American Cancer Society’s N ational Cancer Information Center. Vermonters get free per sonal cessation support, informa tion, quitting strategies, phone counseling sessions and referrals to local services to help them quit. T he state pays $133,495 per year for the Q u it Line phone program. (See accompanying story.)

fZ u h f e r B y Melanie Menagh ~ A hen top racers go pedal to the metal, vying for the W inston Cup, it’s not a tribute to C hurchill W ¥ they’re driving at. Auto racing — the most popu lar spectator sport in the state and the nation — has been cozy with big tobacco and other insalubrious products for years. But times have changed at the track, and the irony is written all over the race cars. In an unprecedented m ar keting move, Verm ont health officials are betting on auto racing as a way to deliver a sm oking cessation message. Two T hu n d er Road racers — and form er smokers — have sported “Q u it Line” logos on their rigs. Established in February, and financed by the m ulti million dollar tobacco settlem ent, Q u it Line hooks up

T he “sometimes you just can’t do it alone” ads developed by KSV have been working, accord ing to Garbarino. “We started the program in February with 40 calls and now we’re getting about 100 a m onth,” she notes. About 50 percent of the callers opt for telephone counseling; the rest inquire about local services such as cessation programs conducted by 14 state hospitals. “Less than 10 percent of smokers can quit on their ow n,”

asserts Catherine Suiter, the Tobacco Cessation Coordinator for the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. For people signing up at hospi tal-based programs, “Q uit Bucks” are an added incentive, says Suiter. “A person w ho’s complete ly uninsured, or insured through VHAP [Vermont Health Access Plan], can get free nicotinereplacement materials, which are usually about $50 for a two-week supply,” Suiter explains.

It usually takes 10 or 12 weeks for a person to break the habit, and they’ve got to be in a support group to qualify.

hile the Q u it Line cam paign continues to focus on adults, young wannabe smokers are about to get some strong kick-butt mes sages. Based on new surveys of Vermont youngsters and discuscontinued on page 10

Health officials use auto racing to drive. smoking cessation home smokers with local health authorities and support groups when they are ready to kick the habit. T he service pro vides counseling and a personalized quit-sm oking plan over the phone. Auto ads are the perfect way to reach Joe Sixpack, according to 38-year-old Northfield driver Crispin M ichaud, who was the top late-model driver this season at the Barre track. “It’s a good way for them to spend their money, and get at tobacco through the back door,” he says. “They see my car from two in the afternoon until 10 at night. How else are you going to get your message across?” Barbara Moeykens, Social Marketing Specialist for the Tobacco Control Program at the Vermont D epartm ent of Health, credits her husband for the unorthodox, “coun termarketing” idea.THe said, ‘Since tobacco has such a

big foothold in racing, why not go after them there?’” W hy not, indeed? O n a typical Thursday evening at T hunder Road, 5000 to 8000 race fans show up. For a big event like the M ilk Bowl, 10,000 to 13,000 people fill the stands. “T he announcer talks a b o u t... the Q u it Line car, and when people come into the pits, they hand out brochures,” Moeykens says. “This gives racers a chance to position themselves as anti-sm oking.” Along with M ichaud, Q u it Line also sponsors Dave Dion, who lives in M ilton, races in NASCAR Grand National N orth events and w on the Busch C up at T hunder Road on Labor Day weekend. As thousands o f .V fans looked on, he received his trophy and gave a testimo- | | nial to Q u it Line.

sions with health professionals, KSV and the state will be rolling out a new anti-sm oking ad cam paign this fall aimed at “tweens” — youngsters between the ages of 10 and 13. “We’re trying to correct some of the misperceptions this group has about sm oking,” says Zietlow. “For example, we found that 10- to 13-year-olds greatly overestimate the num ber of high school students that smoke; almost 70 percent of tweens thought about 70 percent of high school students smoked, but in reality only about 23 per cent of them do. There’s a huge disparity there. Kids believe that it’s a normal thing to smoke, so we’re going to try to correct that misperception.” Garbarino adds that the new tween ad campaign — “Most Teens Don’t” — will raise some eyebrows. “From the preliminary work I’ve seen, you’re going to either love them or hate them ,” she says of the ad messages. “I have a 14-year-old daughter; il she loves them, I’m happy.” Kids are also getting new messages from their peers, teach ers and through 23 “New Directions” community-based coalitions working on the issue. A few years ago, the strong anti smoking messages in the Education D epartm ent’s Life Skills Training curriculum were heard in only 15 schools; this year, more than 100 schools have adopted the program, which helps kids make healthy deci sions and refuse high-risk behav iors.

Sponsorship is a critical ele m ent in the racing equation. Dion reported his team spends about $90,000 annually; but some NASCAR competitors are up in the $200,000 to $400,000 range. For M ichaud, the $5000 Q uit Line contribution repre sents a big chunk o f his budget. “We get about $25,000 in spon sorship, and make approximately $20,000 in winnings. Some guys have a guy on the payroll for $40,000 a year, and that’s all he does is work on the car.” Racers, therefore, aren’t too particular about who’s advertising on their hood and quarterpanels. But given the choice, at least some prefer to be backed by

I’ve seen generations go through there,” says Dion, a 37-year vet eran. “This is giving people someone to turn to to kick the habit. T h a t’s a good thing. “Kids look up to m e,” he continues. “They’ll say, ‘My favorite driver is so-and-so, and he doesn’t smoke.’ O ther kids could call them a wimp, but they can stand up and say, ‘He does n’t.’ You can’t believe how farreaching this thing is.” “You can influence a child really easily by w hat you d o ,” M ichaud agrees. “Somebody who looks up to you, and sees you smoking, they say, ‘H e’s doing it, it must be cool.’ W ith Q u it Line sponsoring us, we let them know that not sm oking is cool, too.”

But anti-tobacco campaigners may find sponsoring drivers is risky business — and not just because o f the inherent “image” problem. M otor sports can be extremely hazardous to one’s health, as dem onstrated by the crash death this season of veteran racer Dale Earnhardt. M oeykens’ colleagues were initially skeptical, according to D ion. “They said they couldn’t possibly go on a beer circuit,” he reports. “But you gotta go where the people are.

The Heat is On -sv Bars, restaurants and retail stores are important battlegrounds in the war on tobacco. Vermont tobacco sellers may feel increasing pressure in two key areas: a possible boost in the tax on cigarettes, and more “sting” operations to ensure that Vermont’s 1200 licensed tobacco retailers don’t sell cigarettes, cigars or chewing tobacco to anyone under age 18. Last year Governor Howard Dean proposed — but the Legislature never passed — a 67-cent increase in the state’s cigarette levy to move it up from 44 cents per pack to $1.11, the same level as New York State, but above neighboring New Hampshire’s 52-cent rate. The money was to be dedicated to the state’s Medicaid bud-get, which is expected to experience big increases in the next few years. “Vermont has the lowest tobacco tax in the region — 'including Quebec, New York and New England,” says Jennifer Wallace-Brodeur, vice-chair of the Vermont Tobacco Evaluation and Review Board. “It is the big missing link in our approach to tobacco; it should be a critical element in our plan.” Wallace-Brodeur said cigarette price hikes, com bined with ongoing prevention efforts, would dra matically cut the smoking rate. South Burlington High School senior Emmy Newhouse agrees. “Money is a big issue for kids in school,” she says. “Raising the price of cigarettes would make a big difference.” Rep. Frank Mazur of South Burlington predicts the Vermont House of Representatives, where taxes are first introduced, will be in no mood to raise any taxes when the legislature reconvenes in January. “I haven’t heard any real support for the cigarette tax from Republicans or Democrats,” he says. He said many in the House believe the state has too much revenue and should concentrate on using tax dollars more effectively. “I’d vote to ban tobacco myself,” he says, “but any time we bring it up it dies because everyone wants the revenue.” The Department of Liquor Control runs “com pliance checks” on retail stores using 17-year-olds who try to buy cigarettes. According to the Health Department, “These young people never lie about their age and always tell their real age, if asked. If the decoy is able to buy, the inspector serves notice of violation to the seller within 24 hours.” The fine is $100 for the first offense and up to $500 for future infractions. The Liquor Control inspectors run about 125

T he most recent Youth Risk Behavior Study showed that the percentage o f eighth- to twelfthgraders who smoke has dropped to 22 percent, down from 36 percent in 1997. “T he data show a continuous, dram atic decrease,” says Dr. Jan Carney, V erm ont’s Commissioner o f Health.

he state’s success with youth sm oking is both good news and bad. O n the positive side, Verm ont is at least three years ahead o f schedule in the plan to cut youth smoking rates in half. But there is reason to worry that, as the state budget comes under pres sure in a weakened economy, funding for a program about to reach its goal could be redirected somewhere else. In fact, a special study com mittee created by the legislature had its first meeting last Friday to examine how effectively Vermont is spending its money on substance abuse. T he

compliance checks a month throughout the state and the compliance rate is “around 80 to 82 per cent,” according to director of enforcement Bill Goggins. But anti-smoking advocates want to see the compliance rate higher and have asked the Legislature to consider a bill this session that calls for increasing the number of sting attempts by 10

percent per month until the legally mandated rate of 90 percent compliance is achieved. “I don’t know if that’s the answer,” Goggins reflected. “It would be extremely difficult to get to 90 percent primarily due to the turnover in the industry.” Goggins says retail, restaurant and bar workers change jobs so often that training programs for clerks and bartenders are always struggling to catch up.

Com m ission on Tobacco, Alcohol and Substance Abuse Addiction comprises several health departm ent officials and legislators Mike V inton of Colchester, Nancy Chard of Brattleboro, John Bloomer of Rutland and Frank Mazur and Jim Leddy o f South Burlington. “This task force will be look ing at all the dollars, all the resources that are being used in the sub stance abuse » area, explains Mazur. “We need to put a recom m endation together about w hat is the best way to fight these problems.” The com m ittee’s next meeting is October 4, 9:30 a.m., at the Statehouse. M azur is concerned that the state doesn’t have coordinated m anagem ent o f all the programs dealing with substance abuse, from tobacco to heroin. “There doesn’t seem to be any overall coordination,” he suggests, h in t ing that state government could

benefit from a “drug prevention czar” — a role that could m oni tor program overlap or duplica tion. “It appears that we’re weak in a couple o f areas: measuring the actual scope of the problem, and evaluating how effective we’ve been with the money we’re now spending,” Mazur notes. Leddy says the state has done “a fairly good job of allocat ing the tobacco funds,” but believes a continu ing review is neces sary “to get the best use of our dollars and resources.” He cites as an example the 23 “New Directions” com m unity coali tions that received a three-year chunk of federal funding. Now that the grants are concluded, “We really don’t know which approaches had a real im pact,” Leddy concedes. “We need to find out so we can replicate the best ones.” ®

B y S usan Green t is Jack Du Brui’s good fortune to possess a fertile imagination that extends beyond the limits of his experience. At 32, the Burlington author has published four novels in as many years, all featuring a protagonist named Philip Mercer, a geologist with a penchant for encountering trouble in some of the world’s most forbid ding terrain. In Vulcan’s Forge, his first book in 1998, Du Brul puts Mercer on a volcanic island near Hawaii. The scientist treks north to Alaska in Charon’s Landing, published in 1999, to tangle with some ecoterrorists. To greet the new millen nium in 2000, the intrepid hero gets involved with the discovery of an African diamond mine in The Medusa Stone. And this month, Pandora’s Curse— a return to the possessive case — finds Mercer unearthing old Nazi secrets in Greenland. No less a luminary than scribe Clive Cussler has deemed Du Brul “the finest adventure writer on the scene today.” The Vermont native takes all the hoopla — plus a six-figure advance for his latest novel — in stride. “It really hasn’t changed my life one bit,” insists Du Brul, who lives in the modest Jackson Terrace apart ments on Pine Street. “Right now I’m covering for my brother Dave’s job while he’s out of town. He’s the manager of this complex. If someone’s toilet backs up, I’ll be down there with a plunger.” Du Brul’s local family ties are strong — he’s the namesake nephew of the well-known Auto master car dealer, and son of a prominent developer, Dave Du Brul, Sr. This is a big FrenchCanadian clan that seemingly prefers no-nonsense male monikers for its men, and, on the distaffd/ side, produced a colorfully named aunt — Fedora Du Brul — who was Vermont’s first policewoman in the 1950s. Over the years the younger Jack Du Brul often worked with his father in construction, learning a skill that allowed him to revamp the apartment he currently shares with Debbie, his wife of six months. He built a writing loft

above a room which suggests a biggame hunter’s abode. The kudu, roan antelope and waterbuck hanging on his walls were pur chased second-hand, however, and the softhearted human inhabitants sometimes adopt abandoned kitties from the Humane Society, where Debbie — a bank auditor — vol unteers. An enormous /am-Egyptian sarcophagus contributes to the ambiance, but actually opens up to reveal a bookcase. If the decor is Raiders o f the Lost Ark, Du Brul comes across as less an Indiana Jones than a dreamer whose fan tasies are played out on the punted page. The brief biographical sketch on the inside back cover of Pandora’s Curse enumerates seem ingly death-defying quests, but in person Du Brul puts each bit of hype in context: “De Brul has climbed Masada at noon” — a hot but otherwise uneventful stop at the steep Israeli historic site during a mid-1980s visit to see his uncle the priest in Bethlehem. “Swum in the Atlantic Ocean off Point Barrow” refers to a vacation in Alaska with his father. “Explored war-torn Eritrea” was a weeklong

ing. That book will never see the light of day.” Du Brul then headed for the nation’s capital to enroll at George Washington University. “I wanted to go into government, specifically, with the State Department’s for eign service,” he says. “My major was international affairs, with a specialty in the Middle Eastland Africa.” After graduation in 1990, he worked at the Department of Commerce, but “the bureaucracy killed me. So I went to Florida, where my [now divorced] parents were building a house on Marco Island. 1 helped my father for a year, then spent another two years bartending and doing odd jobs while I worked on Vulcan’s Forge. The first draft was finished in 1993.” His fictional alter ego, Philip Mercer, did not emerge as a CIA agent or Army intelligence expert — generally de rigueur occupations for the action genre. “I don’t know much about geology,” Du Brul says. “I just read and researched and tried not to bog the book down with scientific details.” The road to publication was paved with personal connections and odd twists of fate. Du Brul approached family friend Todd Murphy _ of the Burlington I News Agency, which distributes newspa pers, magazines and books in the region. He, in turn, had a ] former college room mate who was just starting his own lit erary agency. Due to an accidental switch of cover letters, the agent read a novel by someone else and sent Du Brul a pro forma rejection. That’s when persistence paid off. After Du Brul asked Murphy to seek a more detailed explanation from his friend, the mistake was uncovered. The right manuscript was located, loved and accepted by the agent. A month later, there was an offer from Forge Books, a small publishing house that did not like the initial title: Vulcan’s Aid. “I told them, T don’t want you to think I’m being kiss-ass, but what about Vulcan’s ForgeS They were happy with that.” The book was released in hard cover and, a year later, in a paper back edition that sold 100,000 copies. A Kirkus Review critic gushed that Du Brul’s maiden

“ I don’t mind giving them what they want. I’m not an artist, I’m an entertainer.” — Jack Du Brul research trip for The Medusa Stone. And “been gnawed by piranhas in the Amazon River” references an annoying but not life-threatening interlude while Du Brul was on a 1991 lark in Peru. He acknowledges his lack of direct experience. “In the new book, I’ve got a meteorite, I’ve got Nazis, I’ve got blimps,” Du Brul says. “Imagination is the key. T hat’s the gift I have. Also, I’ve averaged reading a book a day for the last 16 or 17 years.” After growing up in Colchester, he started penning his own first novel while studying at the private Westminster School in Connec ticut. “It was an historical African adventure story inspired by an arti cle I saw in National Geographic Du Brul explains. “I was a senior when I sent the manuscript to publishers;, all of which rejected it but encouraged me to keep writ

“If you don’t m ind me saying, Dr. Klein, your smile makes you look like a pixie.” T he voice galvanized her. She opened her eyes and saw a man grinning next to her. He had entered through the shattered cock pit. The noise she had heard m ust have been him crawling into the hold. She was too emotionally wasted to react to his presence. She merely looked at him in the glow from his flashlight, study ing the planes o f his face and how his gray eyes were shielded by dark brows. Ice glittered in his hair like gems. He was handsome in every sense o f the w o rd ... “W ho are you?” Anika managed to ask. “Philip Mercer at your service. O ther than that touch o f frost bite on your face, are you all right?”

“D rop your gun,” Mercer whispered to her, visually checking distances in the opposite direction o f the group o f Guards. “W hy?” “I’m saving your life,” Mercer said. “Do it.” “W hat are you going to do?” “You don’t w ant to know.” M ercer’s grim tone sounded like a final good-bye. As soon as Anika laid the pistol on the floor, he grabbed her by the collar and hauled her to her feet. M aking sure the Model 12 was on safe, he p u t her in a ham m erlock and jam m ed the weapon into the side o f her head. H er scream was no act. “O ne step closer and I’ll kill her,” M ercer’s shouted warning stopped the approaching men dead. — Jack D u Brul

effort contained “cliffhangers more wonderfully outrageous than you’ll find in Clive Cussler or Ian Fleming.” W' On the heels of that triumph, Du Brul gave Forge Books his next opus, Charon’s Landing, another hardcover/paperback endeavor that met with equal success. But his agent had begun to think a larger publisher would be able to deliver better promotion, so the New American Library’s Onyx imprint was tapped for a two-book deal that began with The Medusa Stone, published in paperback only. That sold 200,000 copies and earned a rave from the venerable Publishers Weekly. “Nearly 500 pages of fastpaced prose propel Du Brul closer to the front ranks o f thriller authors.” Pandora’s Curse came out September 4 and immediately debuted on the USA Today best seller list — albeit at No. 104.

No. 140. No matter. Du Brul is already laboring on his next novel — due out in fall 2002 — about a Chinese takeover of the Panama Canal. The book might return him to a hardcover release if the sales on Pandora's Curse justify it. “New American Library bought numbers 5 and 6 on the basis of a seven-page outline,” he notes. Aware he has a devoted follow ing that expects him to churn out Philip Mercer’s continuing brushes with cataclysm, Du Brul pledges . not to stray from that formula. “I don’t mind giving them what they want,” he says, petting one of his three cats that has leapt onto the dining room table. “I’m not an artist, I’m an entertainer. I think I’m too young to have anything deep to say. And I try to keep my political views out of it. These aren’t soapboxes.” (7)

Weekly Mail continued from page 4a these sad days, and not stir up ani mosity by innuendo or misinforma tion. There is an error in the article by Peter Kurth [“Words to Die By,” September 19]. It is implied by the quotes of the “Hebrew Bible” and the “Christian Bible” that the faith ful are commanded to violent revenge. Please notice these corrections: The first quote is Psalm 2:9. God says of the Messiah He will bring justice against wicked nations. The Messiah is the Thou of “Thou shah break them...” The second quote, from 2 Thessalonians 1:8, is very similar. It speaks of the Lord Jesus (considered by Christians to be the Messiah) dealing out retribution to God’s enemies. (It was unfortunate the author of the article changed it to read as a command.) Christians are never, anywhere in the Bible told to take vengeance. 1 was saddened to see it implied in this article. One is to seek justice through proper governing authori ties, and beyond that to “overcome evil with good.” The Christian Bible clearly teaches one to leave vengeance in the hands of Cod, and to His appointed governing authorities (meaning the ones who serve to uphold the laws of the nation). I think it was not Mr. Kurth’s intention to cast these faiths in a bad light, and his point that abomi nations are committed in the name of religion is well taken, but he is mistaken to think the adherents of these three religions are instructed to take violent action against the others. At least acquit Christianity of this charge. PS. Just came across your paper and I am very impressed by the scope and skill of the writing. I did n’t know we had such in Vermont! — Ruth E. Holleran Chester

ON THE MENU I would like to remind those amongst us whose appetites are aroused by phrases like “smoke them out of their holes” and “dead or alive” that while “revenge is a dish best served cold,” it rarely tastes good. The problem with the concept of “an eye for an eye” is that it leaves us blind to the fact that we have nothing to gain by engaging those who have nothing to lose. — Mark Frano Montpelier HANDS OFF OTHER COUNTRIES The United States is in need of immediate and complete reform. Policies, practices and actions by the United States government in pursuit of the money and power have given rise to our nation as a world dictatorship. The United States was the first to declare war in pursuit of the “economic conquest of the world.” The Trade Towers and Pentagon or White House were targeted because they are the symbols of money and power. The blood of the 5000 to 10,000 victims of the present tragedy, future attacks and military actions is on the hands of this pres idency and Congress as well as those presidencies and Congresses that have supported the worldwide

assertive polices of the United States. I arti a patriotic American, but as a nation we have no authori ty, responsibility or direction, con stitutionally or otherwise, to assert ourselves on any other nation. I speak because all I hear is escalation and retaliation. There are other options to prevent other losses of individuals which will surely come as “collateral damage” or to “demonstrate our resolve.” The borders of the United States are the two oceans, Canada and Mexico. If our country honored those borders we would have never been in a position to invoke the wrath of any foreign nation. Certainly no person, organization or terrorist specifically targets a country halfway around the world and gives their lives arbitrarily and without cause. We have yet to hear a reason for the attack from our government. Send the world a mes sage and vote out all office holders and professional politicians. Reform starts with new representation. — William Brueckner Sr. Waterbury Center A RIBBON FOR VICTIMS I’ve been wearing a black ribbon to mourn the humanity crushed beneath the collapsed towers of The World Trade Center. I’m mourning for the Americans and the hundreds of citizens from 50 or 60 other countries who died. I’m mourning the dead at the Pentagon. I’m mourning the victims of the American embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania — the U.S. Marines of Lebanon — the Israeli athletes of Munich — the victims of bombing raids over Cambodia — the innocent victims on both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian con flict — the massacred Tutsis and Hutus of Rwanda — the thousands of East Timorese — the gassed Kurds of Iraq — the dead in Northern Ireland’s religious war — the disappeared of Pinochet’s Chile — the victims of Central American death squads — the women and children of My Lai — the tens of millions of the Holocaust — the thousands of Pearl Harbor — the hundreds of thousands of Dresden — the dead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — the Albanians, Croats, Serbs of the Balkans — the oppressed people of Afghanistan.... — A1 Salzman Fairfield OF WORDS AND SILENCES I would rather trust Pinter than Kurth regarding words and silence. Or Wallerstein. But if Kurth [“Words to Die By,” Sept. 19] really loves words, it may be worth won dering, if you really need words: are they words or garbage? (Or ‘fillers’?) In other ... words, after the events of last week — fires, explosions, tragedies — what to say? Finally, between Shakespeare and Kurth ... ‘Words, words, words ...’ I guess the bard knew something about tragedies and words. — Luc Cuvier Burlington

exploratory committee” in prepa ration for a bid for Congress next year. Meub is a Republican. His recent claim to fame is that, last year, he was the guy Ruth Dwyer knocked off in the GOP primary. Best wishes, Bill. And forming an official exploratory committee is certainly a good move, even if you'don’t get into the race. Just ask Jim Douglas. Few people are aware that, two years ago, Mr. Douglas formed his own U.S. House “Exploratory” Campaign Committee as he prepared for a possible run for Congress himself. Two autumns ago, you’ll recall, the big question mark in Vermont politics was whether or not U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders would step up and take on then-Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords in 2000. Mr. Douglas was and still is our state treasurer. Currently, he’s openly running for governor. Two years ago Douglas said publicly he’d get in the congres sional race if O f Bernardo opted for the Senate. But he kept pretty quiet about the Exploratory Committee. According to documents avail able from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Douglas’ “Statement of Organization” of his Exploratory Committee was filed at FEC headquarters on November 22, 1999. On February 7, 2000, he reported that in the last quarter of 1999, his House Exploratory Committee had raised $24,380.99. According to the reports on file, Skip Vallee’s wife Denise Vallee gave Slim Jim $1000. A couple guys from Florida each kicked in $500, as did Lola Aiken. Jim and Remo Pizzagalli each kicked in $250. So did Luther Hackett. Can’t blame them. Jim does look like a congressman. The Douglas campaign com mittee reported it had shelled out $4500 to Darcie Johnston, a longtime Republican political consultant. Douglas also paid a New Hampshire direct-mail firm $2057 to print and ship out his successful fundraising pitch letter. Cool. All perfectly legit. The only problem is, just seven days after Jim Douglas noti fied the FEC he was raising money for a possible run for Congress, the exploration came to an abrupt end. Bernie Sanders announced on November 29, 1999 that he would not run for the Senate against Jeffords, but would run for reelection to the U.S. House. Jim Douglas was no longer considering a run for Congress. But Jim Douglas continued to spend the money raised by his Exploratory Committee. In January 2000, he paid the New Hampshire direct-mail firm another $4549.99. He reported spending hundreds of dollars on stamps. In June 2000, Douglas tapped “exploratory” campaign funds to purchase two airplane tickets for himself for $738.50. Also that June, Douglas reported he’d given $ 1000 to the

Bush campaign, $300 to Gasoline Vallees state senate campaign (as if Skip needed the money), and $400 to his own campaign for reelection as state treasurer. In June and July he spent $1743 on airfare and hotels. He also picked up a $679 hotel bill for Marty Searight, a well-known Republican activist. In August, the Douglas Exploratory Committee gave $125 to a Vergennes sign-maker for a banner of some kind. Surely it didn’t read “Douglas for Congress”? in a Seven Days interview Tuesday, Mr. Douglas was initial ly struck with a severe case of memory loss. Asked about the plane tickets purchased months after he knew he wasn’t running for Congress, Douglas replied, “I just don’t remember.” As the interview continued, however, Mr. Douglas’ memory started to improve. He recalled purchasing plane tickets to the Republican National Convention. He also said he had bought a ticket for another delegate. At first he declined to identify the delegate, but when told Ms. Searight’s name was on the dis bursement list, he said, “Yes, it was her. ’ Douglas said his expenditure on plane tickets to the convention was appropriate and he recalled an PEC advisory letter to that effect. Asked about the two plane tickets purchased that June, Douglas at first said his memory wasn’t-too clear. Later in the interview he told Seven Days the tickets were probably used to atrend a Republican National Committee meeting. Douglas’ House Exploratory Committee reported to the FEC on January 24, 2001 that it still had $5317 in cash on hand. Cool. So, Bill Meub, take note. “Exploratory” Campaign Committees may not get you where you hope to go, but you’ll still have money in the bank. This Saturday, September 29, there will be an all-day sympo sium on “Money and Politics’ at UVM’s Billings Student Center. There’ll be panels, discussion groups and a keynote address by James Carville. We forgot to ask Jim Douglas if he planned on attending. Heck, his House Exploratory Committee could probably pick up his transportation costs.

TICKET TO RIDE? At $84 per ticket, the Melissa Etheridge concert October 13 is the most expensive rock show ever in Burlington, to the best of my knowledge. Top ticket for last weeks John Prine show, by comparison, was $58. Last Decembers Landmine concert was closer at $75, but featured six stellar per formers and was a benefit. Both those shows were at the Flynn, presented by outside pro moters. The Etheridge show, presented by a company called 462 Inc. out of Dallas, is at Memorial Auditorium, and she certainly outprices anyone who’s rented that acoustically challenged venue before. And, by the way, it’s solo acoustic! If you order tix via the singer’s own M.E.I.N. — Melissa Etheridge Information Network — you can’t even buy single seats: “$183.42 a pair,” pronounced the agent answering the phone this week. Will Vermont-area fans cough it up for the hard-rocking lesbian superstar, who probably generated more press for her David Crosbyfathered children, and much-publicized breakup from her longtime love, than for her latest disc, Skin? That remains to be seen, but if two recent sold-out shows in Denver are any indication, the answer might be yes. And it just might indicate a raising of the bar for bigname nationally touring acts who make their way this far north — though upcoming shows by Phil Lesh and Widespread Panic weigh in at a reasonable $39 and $25, respectively. The astronomically priced Madonna show at Madison Square Garden last summer cer tainly contributed to an overall escalation trend in ticket prices, and chances are Queen City fans can expect to begin paying royally for some acts. It’s only rock ’n’ roll — how much do you like it? RASTA RAVE The concert known as Sunsplash has produced ever-widening ripples since its inception in 1978. W ith the noble, albeit ambitious, goal of uniting the world through music, founder Tony Johnson grew the event from a tiny Jamaican reggae festival to the island’s major seasonal draw. By 1984, the show was on the road worldwide; four years ago it added a smaller concert version called Club Sunsplash, featuring not only reggae but rock, funk and r&b acts. This year, the lineup stars Ky-Mani Marley, son of Bob, along with Wailing Souls, BBS Allstars and some rank ing deejays. Normally confined to indoor venues, Club Sunsplash entertains outdoors Vermont stylee this Saturday — Stowe’s Rusty Nail Concert Series presents the all-ages show at Sugarbush, site of the Ben & Jerry’s Festival. Pray for rays.

KARL DENSON'S TIN Y U N IVERSE

DO GOOD DEPT. Just over two weeks ago, ter rorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon killed more than 6000 people and changed American life forever. It’s a nat ural reaction to want to ease the pain, and in the face of such unprecedented disaster, many of us want to do something, anything, to help. YTell, this weekend, local musicians are pro viding plenty of opportunities to do just that. The national outpouring of benefits for the Red Cross and like organizations is echoed in several Burlington-area concerts. In fact, you could pretty much spend the entire weekend listening to good music and helping with your wallets. This Saturday afternoon at the Waterfront, an ad hoc group will stage a donations-only concert, called “United We Stand,” for the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. W ith the imprimatur of Mayor Peter Clavelle, the City of Burlington and Police Department and Congressman Bernie Sanders, and insti gated by Hineburg florist Lynn Furno, the concert features sets by Aaron Flinn’S Salad Days, The Dares, The John Tower Group, Patti Casey, Patrick Fitzsimmons, Diane Ziegler, Jenni Johnson, Rachel Bissex, and Exclamate. “This concert is really for people to come together to be able to reach out to each other and help them to heal,” says Furno. “We’re grasping desperately for ways people can come away from this concert feeling like they’ve done something to help.” Like other efforts around the state and the nation, “United We Stand” — the name came from Furno hearing a song of that name by The Brotherhood of Man — is a huge com munity effort with many behind-the-scenes contributors. Due to limited parking around the Waterfront, the City is encouraging use of the free College Street shuttle, as well as the Champlain Flyer, which is adding a free 7 p.m. departure train to Shelburne and Charlotte. That evening, The Swingin' Vermont Big Band serves up danceable jazz at CVU High School in Hinesburg — the school’s Jazz Ensemble warms up, and swing dance lessons precede the affair at 7 p.m. Simultaneously, further south at Rutland’s Paramount Theatre, guitarists Paul Asbell and Steve Kiernan stage their own benefit, along with the Marble Valley Players reprising numbers from their winter smash production of Kilroy Was Here. Proceeds will be split between the Red Cross Disaster Relief and the New York City Firefighters funds. Sunday afternoon, back on Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace, “Voices Across <

America” will host an a cappella concert fea turing Random Association and UVM’s Top Cats and Cat’s MeOW. Two national organiza tions — the Contemporary A Cappella Society and Vocal Universe — rustled up “Voices,” which will sponsor concerts in 14 cities across the country at the exact same time. Here on the East Coast, the show begins at 3 p.m. with a rousing rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” O ther groups that would like to sing along can contact Joe Antonioli at joe@vermontvocals.org. Sunday night, DJs Tim Diaz & Joey K. spin at Millennium Nightclub-Burlington for the Hip-Hop Has Heart Foundation, which will also benefit NYC. This will most certainly not be the end of music-oriented good deeds in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. As noted here last week, Jim LOCkridge of Big Heavy World is moving apace to put together a benefit compilation CD of all kinds of local music, scheduled for a New Year’s Eve release. Those of you who’d like to leave a lasting impression of your expe riences, feelings and views on our collective national disaster, please feel free to share them in the Seven Days archive, 9.11 Online — see www.sevendaysvt.com, or just e-mail 91 l@sevendaysvt.com. SINGLE TRACKS It’s not quite the top of the world, but the roof of Red Square was exhila rating enough for James Kochalka Superstar. The band managed to stage a seven-song, 20-minute illegal concert last Saturday afternoon before Burlington’s finest pulled the plug. Glory can be so brief .**. . Boston’s multi-lingual, world-beat “punk mambo” outfit BabalOO — frequent and pop ular guests in the Queen City — also rule in their hometown of Boston: They were recently named the number-one act in Beantown in citysearch.com — a fine augmentation to the quarter-million plays on mp3.com. Babaloo proves their stuff this Friday at Metronome ... Zola Turn head to Chicago next month to record with producer/mixer Keith Cleversly, who’s worked with bands as diverse as Mercury Rev and The Posies. The Burling ton alt-rockers expect new product by the end of the year . . . If you haven’t checked him out yet, tune in to Cousin Dave Sunday nights at The Waiting Room, where the ranking Burlington deejay rules the roost with “downtempo grooves” over which you can still hear yourself think — and talk. Refreshing . . . The Burlington Coffeehouse Songwriters Group threw a little surprise birthday party last week for BC impresario Jeff Miller, who’s energeti cally booked the venue for more than a decade. Songwriter Ken Lawless dedicated a tune, “The House of the Rising Star,” and we’d like to add our belated birthday saluta tions. Thanks for all you do for acoustic music in Burlington, Jeff! . . . I’m happy to report that the prognosis is positive for Tim Whiteford — as noted here last week the Highland Weavers vocalist/guitarist had triple-bypass heart surgery . . . Sound Tribe Sector 9 believe the mission of art is to “fore shadow a higher universe reality.” But never mind that; the live trance-inducing multimedia techno-ambient-groove thing is also damn good to dance to. At Higher Ground this Thursday . . . ®

DAN HICKS & THE HOT LICKS, ALIVE AND LICKIN’

B r e a t h e ... Garpoo R e l a x ...Get Happy.

(Surfdog Records, CD) — Dan Hicks calls the music he makes with the Hot Licks “folk jazz.” You can hear him say.it himself between the tracks on his most recent album, a live recording entitled Alive and Lickin. This “folk jazz” thang is a rather vague con cept. If you’re not familiar with the acoustic material Hicks has recorded and per formed since his start in the late ’60s with The Grateful Dead-related band The Charlatans in San Fransisco, the music is difficult to describe. The effect is somewhere between Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys, The Andrew Sisters, acoustic Cab Calloway and Jim Kweskin’s Jug Band. If you still don’t get the idea, give it a try. Hicks is a fine writer and interpreter of all kinds of material, and his smooth vocalizing, scat and yodeling, backed by the “ooo-aahs” and amphetamine unisons of the Hot Licks, who are in turn backed by a crack unit of musicians, will do you no harm. The material on the album is a lively mix of Hicks classics (like “Where’s the Money” and “How Can I Miss You if You Won’t Go Away” which Hicks notes he’s performing “for the lour billionth time” on this particular night), jazz standards (“Comes Love,” “I’ve Got Rhythm” and “Caravan”), innovative covers (Tom Waits’ “The Piano Has Been Drinking,” Kweskin’s “Wild About My Loving”) and other more recent Hicks originals. The latter sound like period pieces cooked up in a late 1940s New York City jazz club, or maybe in a juke joint in Tulsa or San Antonio. The asides and banter between the songs and between the breaks on Alive and Lickin are a good indication of how entertaining Dan Hicks is live (very). But, as with most live recordings, navigating the same improvs, comments and settings gets labor-intensive. Better to hear a “real” iive show when Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks appear next Wednesday at Higher Ground. Songstress Heather Eatman opens. — Robert Resnik

YOU’RE

(selfreleased, CD) — On their newest CD EP, You’re Soaking In It, DysFunkShun rock out of the gate with full energy and fury — no small feat for a band that’s been around the Burlington block for longer than I can remember. After years ol lineup changes and stylistic variations, DysFunkShun manage to maintain the dedication and enthusiasm of a band just out of the basement. Leaning away from past comparisons to 311, the band has moved into harder, less groovy territory, billing themselves these days as “punkrap” and somehow drawing on the attitude and angst of both genres. The FunkShun still come across as angry young men — playing hard and funking our in snot-nosed, vitriolic fashion. These songs aren’t exact ly happy, primarily serving as catharsis for vocalists Marc Daniels and Richard Bailey, who pulls double duty on vocals and guitar. But they uplift in their solidarity, with sing-along choruses such as the one in “All Comes Down,” like battle cries for a band of brothers against the world. As local rock stalwarts, DysFunkShun do just that — rock. “Good Scene” has a nice reggae flavor, and the line, “I really don’t want to be sober,” is a keeper. While punk-rap may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the kids love it, and who can blame these guys for playing what gets young turks fired up these days? DysFunkShun have stuck to their guns, and the musical pendulum seems to be swinging back in their direction. Kudos for tenacity, and extra bonus points for technolog ical pizzazz: This disc is an enhanced CD with graphic gizmos and a full video for the lead track, “The Company You Keep,” which you can watch on your computer. “Rat Race,” possibly the catchiest number here, is preceded by a nifty Chris Farley sample from the movie Black Sheep (“Kill W ”). Recorded at Rock It Science in Jericho, the sound is sharp, and at seven tracks it’s a short and sweet guerrilla attack on your stereo. Recommended for hard kids and disaffected youth. DysFunk Shun throw a party this Thursday at Club Metronome, with The Dirty Blondes, 13th Chair and PegTassey. — Colin Clary SOAKING IN IT

Falnam- ( larcia

By Dylan S tableford hey look like two portly bar dwellers who favor seasoned curly fries and video golf. They wield acoustic guitars and employ lame pyrotechnics. They sing funny songs about Satan, Jesus and toe-sucking. They’ve played exactly 33 shows in seven years. They call themselves the Greatest Band in the World. They just might be right. Tenacious D, the Southern California comedic duo of lead vocalist-guitarist Jack Black and lead guitarist-vocalist Kyle Gass, have ridden the wave of a neurotic cult following and modest Holly wood successes to the brink of rock superstardom. Such a feat, they’d say, is kick-ass. Known to their fans as simply The D, the pair has the ability to transform a seemingly cordial audi ence into a bunch of sweaty, loud, drunken, fist-pumping bleacher bums marinated in sun drenched two-part har monies and crunchy power chords. I mean, you try to control yourself as JB declares, “I’m gonna hump sweetly/I’m gonna ball you discreetly” in a writhing falsetto. Their songs — like “Jesus Ranch,” “Kielbasa Sausage,” “Rocket Sauce” and “Fuck Her Gently” -— deconstruct time-hon ored rock cliches of sex, drugs, girlfriends, mis placed misogyny, mythical woody creatures and self-promoting rock declarations. Their self-titled debut, which was produced by the Dust Brothers, is packed with cameos of such high-profile D fans as the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and Page McConnell. It will soon be released on Epic Records. Meanwhile, Tenacious D make late-night appearances with David Letterman, Conan O ’Brien and Jon Stewart. The tour, a 20-date U.S. excur sion, allows Vermonters their first taste of the duo this Friday at Higher Ground. The show is already sold out — and not just because of rumors McConnell might be playing with them. Still, Gass gushes cryptically about the Phish keyboardist: “Page has roamed the Earth learning the mys tical secrets of music. When he plays, the listener is transported to ancient lands. He is a wizard, and he can read minds.” The D ’s unlikely rise to rock’s top

shelf goes like this: Black and Gass formed Tenacious D in 1994 in L.A., while members ofTim Robbins’ Actors Gang comedy troupe, to ease the pain of a messy breakup Black had with his girl friend. She dumped him for a poet ry teacher. If rock were a high .' school yearbook, Tenacious D would almost certainly be the group Most Likely to Play a Rehab Clinic. But in 1997, H B O ’s Mr. Show scooped up the pair for a slot at the end of its trippy concentric skit platter and, two years later, Tenacious D developed its own show for HBO based around their bizarre open-mike gigs. Despite producing just six 15minute episodes, the D ’s potent seed began to spawn a faithful base of followers and a scattering of Web sites devoted to all things D. Grainy tapes of the HBO show began to surface on tour buses, and soon the pair was opening for such newfound fans as Beck, Pearl Jam

calls up obligatory comparisons: the Smothers Brothers cast in Jesus Christ Superstar, Seals & Crofts meet Led Zeppelin; Laurel & Hardy meet Styx; Bach meets Bachman Turner Overdrive. But they all just seem to cut the D short — try Simon & Garfunkel, covered in Jenny Craig Mac-andcheese and Magic: The Gathering cards, and covering the Dokken songbook. On acid. And then there’s Lee, the dude anointed as the D ’s first official fan in an episode of the HBO series and currently the group’s roadie, pyrotechnics guru and Web master. “I saw the D ’s first show at Al’s Bar in downtown L.A.,” Lee recalls. “I saw the rock gods descend upon the jam session and christen their asses for super kick-asscious rockages.” For their album — recorded in part at Neil Diamond’s L.A. studio — the D recruited a rhythm sec tion of Grohl, McConnell, Vandals guitarist Warren Fitzgerald and Red Kross bassist Steve McDonald to anchor their heavy-metal acoustic debauch ery. “Grohl, Dr. G, is very talented,” Black offers. “I think he has real potential.” It’s certainly no Nevermind, but Tenacious D is an inspired, raucous ride through some of the D ’s “greatest-hits” catalogue bridged by jokey repartee. They poke fun at music-biz excesses, as in Black’s track “Cock Pushups” — he’s “been getting ready” to become a rock star. To understand the full thrust of Tenacious D ’s appeal, consider the unenviable task of playing a bill with them — as The Moldy Peaches will do this week at Higher Ground. Openers are forced to withstand a seething crowd of fans who look at your set as cutting into their precious time hanging out with the D. If the D opens, they will have gloriously spread their patented Cream Dream all over the faces of your would-be audience, most of whom are spent and about ready to leave the club to smoke their post-orgasmic cigarettes. Either way, you’re screwed. As Black himself puts it, “You basically strap your nuts to your leg.” Well said. ©

D, The

and the Foos. Meanwhile, the D ’s acting career was treading water — until Black landed a small-but-scenestealing role as an elitist record shop employee in the John Cusack vehicle, High Fidelity. Now he com mands big-time script deals along side Gwyneth Paltrow. Shallow Hal, the upcoming Farrelly brothers flick starring Paltrow, was written specif ically for Black. Black, 32, shares initials with a couple other spotlight-happy JBs — James Brown and James Belushi — and he is a consummate show man. Gass plays the ever-trusting, balding sideman. Both flaunt their pot bellies. And while the two are undoubtedly home-schooled in early metal’s Satanic undertones, they possess that goofy, irresistible, ever-so-gentle side that buys the D considerable leeway — you’d almost trust them with your virgin daugh ters.

Fly, Fly Again t’s still pitch-dark out at five in the m orning on Saturday, September 15. A sign at the police checkpoint orders drivers to open their trunks and release the hoods, so there is already a traffic jam at the entrance to the passenger drop-off area. Since I need to be issued a paper ticket — the air lines are no longer accepting e-tickets — my par ents and I decide to park the car on the other side of the garage and walk in, even though my flight isn’t scheduled to depart for another two and a half hours. We look up at the flight departure monitor. O ne after another, flights to Boston have been canceled. Then we find mine: “Delta 6161. 7:34 a.m. - on tim e.’’ A well-dressed young couple with a small baby has been waiting since Tuesday to get to Albuquerque — my own destina tion — and I feel slightly guilty that I’m being checked in so quickly. They’re at the l Continental count er, more resigned thaif angry. I % T* * haven’t, in fact, heard even a m ur m ur of frustration from anyone. W ith the exception of one obnoxiously effusive ticket agent, who dances grandly from counter to counter, the mood of the airport workers is cool but polite. Meanwhile, the travelers whisper more, than talk, as if we’re in a library or a church. T hat is, so far, what is most different and unnerving about today’s airport experience. It’s not so much the checkpoint or the time it takes to get processed, or even the fact that there must be at least twice as many security personnel roam ing the halls. It’s a general and apparently conta gious air of detachment, a common lack of dis cernible em otion. I don’t sense happiness, disgust, sadness or even despair around me; I see neither frowns nor smiles. At some point I catch myself racially profiling, picking out people with skin darker than mine and imagining what they could have in their bags — despite the fact that no one in the terminal looks even remotely threatening. “I would hate to be an Arab-American flying today,” my dad says. I agree. Since it’s not something I’m proud of, I don’t mention the fact that I’m already searching the terminal for anyone who appears to be of Middle Eastern descent. There are very few. As the sun begins to rise over M t. Mansfield, it becomes apparent that it s going to be another crisp, spectacularly clear late-summer day. Some people ahead of me are headed to New York, and I suddenly wish that, for their sake, today’s weath er were not so reminiscent of last Tuesday’s. * I say goodbye to my parents and go to wait at Gate 6 w ithout being stopped at the metal detec tor, which I find somewhat disappointing. About 20 people are waiting with me; only one or two seem to be genuinely distressed at the prospect of flying. After a 20-m inute delay, we’re herded silently into the small com m uter jet and take off almost

immediately. As we bank toward the Green Mountains, I get a good look at five F-16s sitting on the tarmac; two with cockpits open and ready to go. Interesting, I spent four years in the Air Force, and not once when I was stationed in Germany or during the Persian G ulf War did I ever feel even remotely threatened. Now, in Vermont of all places, I am for the first time seri ously considering American warplanes in terms of defense rather than offense. A low fog is melting away in the brightening morning but still carpets the marshes and shallow er valleys. It should be pretty, but all it does is make me think of smoke. 1 have a layover of several hours at Logan, and decide to stretch my legs a little. I leave the secure area to get a cup of coffee. Massachusetts state cops in black SWAT uniforms., clutching M-1'6 rifles, linger in groups of three or four wherever traffic merges in the termi nals. They’re joined by a smaller number of less heavily armed dnlmigrftidn'dfge n ts in green. A custodial worker is stopped in front of Legal Sea Foods, her cart searched. Under cover officers appear to be manning some of the vending booths, occasionally making calls on cell phones and radios. W hen I come back through the metal detec tor, everything in my bag is removed and exam ined. Each of the agents makes eye contact with me in succession. This is somehow comforting. The flight from Boston leaves more or less on time. W ithin about 20 minutes, after we’ve reached cruising altitude, the pilot’s intercom comes on. He delivers the obligatory information on altitude, speed and length of flight. The inter com clicks off for a long moment before clicking on again. There is another pause and maybe a breath or two before we hear, “And on your left — M anhattan.” It hadn’t occurred to me that we might pass over New York City. I’m on the right side of the plane, but all I have to do is turn my head and lean slightly into the aisle to get a look at what has, for many years, been the most impressive sky line on Earth. Today, from this altitude, it looks like a Pittsburgh steel mill. There are no gaps any where in that miraculously dense community of skyscrapers except one area near the end of the island, and from that gap smoke still pours out over the ocean. For a long time I’ve felt that if such a thing as a benevolent God did exist, the best evidence was the simple, mysterious fact that we are gifted with a visceral appreciation for beauty. And I’ve arro gantly told people, in what I considered my worldly, if cynical, way, that the closest to pure evil you can get xs a very dark shade of gray. But this smoke in lower M anhattan doesn’t look gray to me. It looks black, and I’m having a hard time seeing any of the beautiful things on the other side. ®

Dear Cecil, I ’m entering that odd time called menopause and have been told that doing Kegel exercises will help strengthen my uterus so that I don’t have “leakage" in my older age. So, while faithfully doing said exercises, I wondered i f men have problems as they get older and i f they can strengthen their own appendages. Can theyi Or is this just another case o f urethra envy on my parti — Judy Wright, Atlanta

kegel-exercises.htm.) Sexual benefits include more intense orgasms, increased angle of erection, reduced risk of impotence and — this is the one I think is interesting — increased distance of ejaculation. Increased distance is something straight men don’t give much thought to, but gay men are a different story. “Since we gay men constantly have sex on the brain, you’re probably thinking to yourself, ‘How do I build up my prostate muscle for a better more dramatic cum scene that will impress all my friends?”’ writes Alex del Rosario, M.D. Kegel exercises are the answer. (Dr. del Rosario, who brings new meaning to the phrase “bedside manner,” divagates on this topic at length at www.terranovamed.com/ArticlePages/Prostatel.html.) The payoff for straight men may not be as great, but it couldn’t hurt. Whatever may be said for Kegel exercises, one of the best ways of exercising the pelvic muscles, from both a urological and sexual standpoint, is sex. For men, ejaculation removes prostatic fluid and reduces the size of the prostate. For wom en... well, one reli able female source attributes her well-toned vagina, excellent uri nary control and unprolapsed uterus to daily orgasms. I can’t help thinking that if everybody were to follow her lead (follow her

You’re not going to believe this, Judy, but there really are male Kegel exercises to help guys strengthen their appendages. Isn’t that something? All these years men have worried about how long it is, and now they have to worry about how strong it is. J ’m not saying that makes up for labor pains, menstruation and breast cancer, but at least guys don’t have it all their way. Kegel exercises were popularized in the 1940s and ’50s by California gynecologist Arnold Kegel as a way of strengthening the pelvic muscles, specifically the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. Ever make yourself stop urinating before you were done? The PC muscle is what you used to do it. The primary purpose of Kegel exercises was and is control o f urinary incontinence in older women. But a side benefit — and the main reason younger peo ple have heard of Kegel — is that the exercises tauten the muscles of the vagina, thereby increasing the enjoyment of both (or how ever many) participants during sexual intercourse. Women are said to experience easier and more intense orgasms, and some cli max, or climax during intercourse, for the first time in their lives. Turns out Kegel exercises are useful for men, too. Older men often have urinary incontinence due to enlargement of the prostate, and Kegel exercises improve bladder control. (The exer cises basically consist of repeatedly tensing the PC muscle — for instructions, see www.mwsexual.com/readingroom/articles/

lead, not follow her home, you deves), the world would be a hap pier place. Dear Cecil, What does the K Y in K -Yjelly stand fori — Rainbow Dragon, via the Straight Dope Message Board Numerous suggestions were offered by the freelance geniuses on the SDMB: (1) KY stands for Kentucky. It’s finger-lickin’ good! (2) You might think KY are the initials o f the first company to sell the stuff but according to the U.S. Trademark Electronic Search System, the brand was registered to Van Horn and Sawtell Corporation of New York on June 19, 1906, having been intro duced in 1904. (3) It derives from something known as a kymograph, a drum-based device used for recording variations in pressure, espe- dally blood pressure. No explanation of what connection this device might have to K-Y jelly. A spokesperson for McNeil-PPC, a division o f Johnson & Johnson, says “surprisingly little” is known about the name’s ori gin. The best she could come up with is that KY was a meaningless pair of initials used to designate the product during the research-and-development phase. However, she also says the lubricant was introduced in 1919, which is at odds with trademark office records, so some skepticism is in order. Two more tidbits: (1) K-Y jelly was originally sold just to medical types and wasn’t offered to con sumers until 1981, which may surprise those who think it’s always been standard boudoir equipment. (2) Several “line extensions” o f the prod uct have been introduced, e.g., a liquid ver sion. A couple years ago an online wag thought up another one: KY2K jelly, which . allows you to fit four digits where only two would go before. And you wonder why I love the Internet.

ith signatures sealed beneath the words “Done at Paris, this third day of September in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three,” Great Britain granted the United States its political independence. Many decades would pass before America attained a substantial degree of cultural independence. That formative era in American art is the subject of “Young America,” an exhibi tion of paintings and sculp tural treasures from the Smithsonian, now on view at the Middlebury College Museum of Art. Most American art of this period was a pale reflection of European art. But a remarkable group of New Englanders were con sidered to be equals of their British counterparts. Works by Benjamin West, John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart and John Trumbull are included in this touring show. West became a friend of King George Ill’s, and was his court painter of his torical subjects. West’s 1776 painting, “Helen Brought to Paris,” is “The Misses Mary and Hannah Murray,” by John Trumbull a classical narrative typical of the Baroque style. veiled with mist.

Andrew Warren’s “Long Island Homestead” looks more like Tuscany than the Empire State, despite his description of it as a “study from nature.” On the other hand, Homer Dodge Martin became familiar with the Barbizon painters Corot, Rousseau, Trumbull’s “The Misses Mary and Hannah Millet and others through his associate John Lafarge, an artist with close ties to France.

SEVEN DAYS

September 26, 2001

I Jj

Fight Films have been around almost as long as the movies themselves. Wallace Beery’s The Champ dates from 1931, Errol Flynn’s Gentleman Jim from 1942. Requiem for a Heavyweight in 1962 told a story of boxing industry corruption that featured a young Muhammad Ali. The Karate Kids were hits in the ’80s, the Rockys kept coming from the ’70s and ’80s right into the ’90s. One of last year’s biggest indie successes was Girlfight. My earli est recollection of kickboxing in a motion picture dates, I think, from John Cusack’s 1989 por trayal of a hopeful young propo nent of the sport in Cameron Crowe’s directorial debut, Say Anything. Well, put 50 pounds on that character and 20 years behind him, and you have perhaps someone like the haunted figure inhabited by Marc Sandler in the independent release Shadow Glories. Sandler, who wrote the script two decades ago and has been struggling to get it made ever since, stars as Simon Penn, a hulking ex-fighter who physically suggests a crossbreeding of Ernest Borgnine and Jason Alexander. As the story opens, Penn has long since left the ring due to his growing distaste for the cruelty of the sport and violence in gen eral. With a female friend and fighter (Sarah Rachel Isenberg), he has opened a martial arts stu dio in his hometown of Lewis ton, Maine. And he’s resolved to patch things up with his

estranged wife, played by Linda Amendola, whom he hasn’t seen for close to two years. The anti-violence and martial arts-instructing components of the character at first seem at odds, but Sandler wastes no time explaining that he’s teaching kids to fight so they won’t ever have to. “That’s irony,” he points out to a favorite student. Equally ironic is what happens when his young partner, a hungry and highly promising kickboxer in her own right, gets it into her head that she wants a crack at the reigning Northeast Men’s Champion. Still looking for redemption for the blood he’s shed in the course of his career, Penn finds his sense of loyalty drawing him back into the game when she asks him to offer guid ance as her coach and manager. Sandler’s character goes into soul-search overload: Now that his wife has given him a second chance, can he break his promise to stay away from the ring? Will he lose the respect and trust of his students if they find out what he’s really all about? Should he honor his friend’s wish to take on the champ, or do everything in his power to keep her from tak ing so grave a risk? As if the guy doesn’t have enough on his mind, there’s a whole back-story he’s got to grapple with. “A lifetime ago” as he puts it, he faced “Killer Kuzinski,” and the confrontation resulted in the turning point in Penn’s career. Kuzinski, a musclebound freak played effectively by

Michael Denney, won the match by decision, but suffered such crushing punishment that he spent months in rehabilitation afterward. During this time, Kuzinski points out, the national title was Penn’s for the taking, but rather than realize his life long dream, he mysteriously elected to leave the game behind. Years later, as his old oppo nent rubs his face in this lost opportunity, Sandler’s character is torn between his decision to eschew violence and his desire to take a better-late-than-never shot at the title vicariously through his protege. You can almost hear Michael Corleone implode that nowfamous line, “Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in.” I suspect Sandler is on intimate terms with that scene and has internalized its emotional circuit ry. In writing the script for Shadow Glories, he clearly aimed for an epic-on-a-budget character study. The end result may be something between that and bythe-numbers melodrama, but for every shoestring action-saga cliche — well, maybe every 10 — the picture does succeed in delivering a credible and memo rable moment. The actor is about as likely a dramatic leading man as Drew Carey, yet he demonstrates range. In an instant, the rage in his eyes can be replaced by a winning twinkle. His script covers a good deal of familiar ground, but ele ments — especially the ending — pack a raw jolt. For a film made with limited means, the direction, score and fight chore ography are surprisingly first-rate in places. And speaking of places, the people who made this picture must be good, because they man aged something I would have thought impossible without the help of cutting-edge Hollywood technology: They made Lewiston, Maine, look interest ing. I know the level of artistry required, since I grew up in that comatose mill town myself. All in all, Shadow Glories is a watchable, worthwhile example of its genre. The picture offers a timely anti-violence message, but now faces a high-stakes contest of its own: The film will duke it out with some pretty heavy weight competition when it makes its New England debut this weekend — the largest in the region’s history for an inde pendent production. They may have struggled for 20 years to get their kickboxing morality tale on celluloid, but with the likes of Ben Stiller, Denzel Washington and Anthony Hopkins stepping into the ring, the makers of Shadow Glories now face the fight of their lives. ©

SeLeCTs radio head Forget about Bob Edwards, Robert Siegel and Linda Wertheimer. Nobody on National Public Radio sounds like Ira Glass. Media critics credit the quirky, slightly stuttering host of “This American Life” with “reinventing radio.” His offbeat Sunday night show gathers up interesting and articulate voices to expound on a theme, from proms and babysitting to sto ries from the terrorist attacks. David Rakoff, Sarah Vowell and humorist David Sedaris are regular contributors. “N ot exactly anything that could be called ‘Prairie Home Companion,’” writes New City Chicago. “But for hipsters, smart peo ple and those who simply love good . stories, in the prairie, and across the country, Glass and his gang of pithy, likable literary hucksters speak to them.” Glass speaks to fans directly in a live stage show entitled “Lies, Sissies and Fiascoes: Notes on Making a New Kind of Radio.” Definitely worth a listen.

Ira Glass. Saturday, September 29. Spaulding Auditorium, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 8 p.m. $22. Info, 603646-2422.

way back when Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater has had plenty of past lives. Over the decades, the building — which is now being renovated — housed a restaurant, a creemee stand and a movie palace. Old-timers recall the balcony antics of college students, a town-wide evening curfew and other site-specific memories in “Middlebury Remembers”— an afternoon of reminiscing inspired by a short film shot downtown in 1939. Long-time town manager Dick Goodro leads the trip down memory lane.

The sixteen African musicians and singers and the LINES dancers will perform timeless, transcendent music and movement that reflect the spirit and sheer beauty of the BaAka’s rainforest homeland. Superhuman in their agility, grace, and power, the dancers move beautifully to music that has the power to heal damaged souls.

Feisty and flam boyant... bright and engaging," (Seattle Times)

•t Lilly, the beloved picture-book mouse created by acclaimed children’s author Kevin Henkes, comes to life in this delightful Kennedy Center theater production. A little mouse full of ambition and youthful enthusiasm, Lilly loves everything about school - especially her new teacher, Mr. Slinger. When she receives an exciting new purple plastic purse, Lilly just can’t wait until “sharing time” to show it to her class mates. Her excitement forces Mr. Slinger to take the purse away until the end of the day. This charming adaptation of Henkes’ classic tales also features Lilly’s friends Chester and Wilson and her baby brother Julius. Celebrate Lilly’s trials and triumphs as she learns valuable lessons about friendship, forgiveness, and family.

SEVEN DAYS

•>

Sept. 27-Qct. 3 AQUARIUS (Jan 20

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In the wake of the tremendous variety of intimate connections that bloomed for me at the Burning Man festival, I’ve resolved to renounce all the bor ing old words to describe relation ships. For evermore, I won’t refer to my companions as “friends,” “soul mates,” “co-workers,” “lovers,” “part ners” or “colleagues.” I’ll strive to conjure a unique term for each per son I bond with. Sonora will be my lushbuddy, Diana my humbaby, Pax my plot-hatcher, David my free wheeler, Sunyata my pirouetteteacher. As you enter into an astrolog ical phase when making new allies will be exceptionally fun and full of grace, Aries, I urge you to try on a similar attitude.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Here are three of my deepest spiritual aspirations: 1) to develop the capacity to thrive in the midst of raging con tradictions; 2) to be discerning as I protect myself from people’s flaws while at the same time being gener ous as I celebrate their beauty; 3) to refrain from dividing the world into two groups, those who help and agree with me and those who don’t. I men tion these nearly impossible goals, Taurus, because it so happens to be a perfect time for you to make great headway in accomplishing them.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): In response to our culture’s ever-rising levels of noise and frenzy, rites of purification have become more popu lar. Many people now recognize the value of taking periodic retreats. Withdrawing from their usual com pulsions, they go on fasts, avoid mass media, practice celibacy or even ~ abstain from speaking. While I approve of cleansing ceremonies like this, I believe we should balance them with an equal and opposite custom: the Bliss Blitz. During this celebra tion of wonder, we also tune out the numbing banality of the daily grind,

but instead of shrinking into asceti cism, we indulge in uninhibited explorations of joy, release and expan sion. I’m happy to announce, Gemini, that it’s high time for you to enjoy a Bliss Blitz.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): We Crabs are renowned for tenacity but not for courage. It’s true that our propensity to keep plugging away at a prickly task can look a lot like heroic resolve, but too often it’s rooted in a lazy fear of change. Sorry to sound so harsh, but I’m hoping that by spilling the uncomfortable truth I’ll incite you to demand bolder actions from yourself in the coming weeks. As I watched the 60-foot-high wooden effigy get consumed in flames at the Burning Man festival a few weeks ago, I prayed that the elemental metaphor of fire would inspire me to incinerate all obstructions to my feistiest bravery. I now extend that same prayer to you.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): The New York Times recently reported that the basic laws of physics, perhaps even the speed of light, may evolve as time goes on. Aside from dissipating the theological majesty of science, this possibility also invites the delightful hope that every axiom might be equally subject to transformation. Take for instance the seemingly immutable patterns that rule your relationship with money. What if you could actually mutate them into a healthier form? The astrological omens suggest that this is the perfect moment to do just that.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Having been a spiritual seeker since I was a teenager, I long ago figured out the best possible conditions for medi tation: be perfectly still and silent in a

tranquil sanctuary in my home. Or so I thought until recent upheavals in my life taught me a different approach. Now my most intoxicating revelations from God come as I speak my prayers aloud during long, vigor ous walks. I highly recommend this peppier approach to you, Virgo. The astrological omens suggest you’ll reap sweet breakthroughs if you get your body more involved in your quest for divine communion.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I won’t be surprised if you’re accused of suffering from delusions of grandeur. You yourself may even wonder whether the lofty fantasies that have been sweeping into view are over the top. But as your official Reality Checker, I assure you that while some of your wild imaginings may be too much for you to actually manifest any time soon, many of them are within your power to accomplish if you’ll just give them time to unfold. I choose to believe that you’re now experiencing premonitions of grandeur.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In my entire life, I have never had as much fun as I did at the Burning Man festival a few weeks ago. For the first time, I felt totally at home on this planet. I was blessed with transformative encounters with dozens of fascinating allies who shared my spiritual and political val ues. Before I returned home in my rented RV, though, I had to do a major purge. I left 16 garbage bags at a dump, unloaded our “gray water” and “black water” at another waste disposal unit, and spent six hours cleaning the vehicle. According to my astrological reckoning, Scorpio, you’re now at a similar phase. The glory and grace must now give way to scouring and sanitizing.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I collected an embar rassment of rich epiphanies at the Burning Man festival a few weeks ago. To mention a few: eating sushi off the naked bellies of gorgeous friends while dancing to the music of the best band I’d never heard of before; facilitating the marriages of hundreds of people to themselves in a performance I did at a chapel made entirely of recycled plastic; exorcising my most ferocious nemesis at the Inner Demon Rodeo; and hearing my new ally Pax tell how he witnessed an idealistic 18-year-old woman initiate events that led to the overthrow of the repressive Bulgarian government in 1996. But as crazily abundant as my surprising blessings were, Sagittarius, I suspect that you will outdo me in the coming weeks. It’s your very own prime time.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): At the recent Burning Man festival, shock-jock (and Capricorn) Howard Stern challenged me to an ass-kissing contest. As you might guess, everyone who had their butts bussed in our showdown far preferred my technique to his. I was declared the hands-down champion of the world. Since then, though, evidence has emerged that my competitor was not the real Stern, but a look-alike impersonator. Now my victory is in question, my dominion ambiguous. I predict that you will soon experience an analogous progression, Capricorn: Apparent triumph will become cloud ed by doubt. The proper response is not to feel deflated, but rather to redouble your efforts. (In that spirit, I hereby challenge the real Howard Stern to a supreme Kiss-Off.)

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In the Qabalah, every Hebrew letter is assigned a number, and so every word is also a number derived from the addition of its letters. Gematria is the practice of finding hidden resonance between seemingly unrelated words that have similar numerical values. Of the many poetic truths revealed through this art, one is particularly apropos right now: The Hebrew words for both “serpent” and “messiah” add up to 358. For you, it means that the part of your life you regard as sexy, slippery, elusive and thorny is the key to your next adventure in illumination and salvation. ® You can call Rob Brozsny, day or night for your

oubleCross Use the letter from the gray squares to unscramble the Puzzler’s riddle:

Feb. 18): Toronto astrologer Richard Geer once asked me, “What are your minimum requirements for paradise?” Now that I’ve been to Burning Man, the freak festival in the Nevada desert, I know. In my wonderland, I’d be able to dance to hot music any time of the day or night. Everywhere I’d go I’d encounter perky allies who are my equals and who, like me, are creators rather than spectators. Money would be unnecessary; exchanges of goods and services would proceed by barter ing, and generosity would be the rul ing spirit. Danger levels would be low: I’d feel utterly safe and without fear. What about you, Aquarius? Now that you’re in an phase when you have most power to bring heaven down to Earth, I urge you to write down your own minimum require ments for paradise.
