GOOD 'CALL' I am writing to say how much I enjoy Peter Kurth’s column [“Crank Call”]. It’s the first thing I open to and read in Seven Days.

I even read parts of it aloud to my family, and we enjoy his insights and great sense of humor. It helps us all keep a per­ spective on recent national and international events that can oth­ erwise feel isolating and distress­ ing. Mr. Kurth’s writing, and the writing of other Seven Days con­ tributors, surpasses — in hon­ esty, creativity and pure sfejll — the writing to be found in main­ stream, mega-corporatioryowned newspapers. Keep up the'great work! * . ’ h

over 50 percent of the popula­ tion lives and works in the city.

The growing sprawl in the coun­ ty has led to a huge increase in vehicle miles traveled, including travel into Burlington for recre­ ation and jobs. If the city is to become more sustainable, hous­ ing, jobs and recreation must all occur in proximity to decrease our reliance on the automobile.

Burlington is meeting this chal­ lenge.

Ken’s description of smart growth as urban infill and den­ sity promotes the same old par­ adigm that we are trying to change. In fact, urban infill is only one part of an equation that includes preserving open space. By concentrating devel­ opment, we have a better shot

at preserving significant open space. Along with the zoning rewrite, Burlington has adopt­ ed, and is now looking to fund, an open space protection plan in the city.

OOPS!

Due to a production error last week, we lost the last column of Cathy Resmer's article "Ticket to Ride?" about John Van Hazinga and his new Burlington skateshop, Ridin' High. For those of you who did not read the conclusion online, here it is, picking up from the paragraph left hanging. Our sincere apologies, especially to John. — Ed.

BURLINGTON

Rosenbluth is director o f the Burlington Legacy Project.

»:

Though he concedes he’s had a few run-ins with the BPD, Van Hazinga reports he has little trust in the law. “I’ve straight-up had the police tell me they don’t like skateboarders,” he says. The police, for their part, claim to be merely an intermediary between skateboarders and a public that is hostile to their daredevil subculture. Burlington police Lieutenant Scott Davidson denies there’s any hostility between the cops and the boarders, and he praises Van Hazinga’s new business.

“I think it’s a good thing,” he says. “It’s a nice shop.”

That’s not an uncommon sentiment among Burlington residents who’ve passed the squat little structure for years. Van Hazinga’s location at Pearl and Battery is prominent. The building used to be part of an apartment complex, and was later a creemee stand. It’s been zoned as storage for more than a decade. Its diminutive size — there’s only one room and a bathroom — the lack of parking, and its distance from Church Street make it an unlikely commercial property.

Don Harrington, who owns the building, is impressed with what Van Hazinga’s done so far. “I think it’s a good use of the property,” he says. “I think he’s pretty determined with what he wants to do. I think he’ll do well with it.”

Now that winter’s on its way, Van Hazinga will probably cut back his hours, staying open on weekends until Christmas, then shutting the doors until spring. There isn’t much demand for skateboards in the winter, and Van Hazinga can’t yet afford to stock snowboards. But he has big plans for the site, including painting a mural on the outside and installing a rooftop garden. For now, though, he’s just enjoying his last few chances to skate before the snow comes.

Asked why he loves skating, Van Hazinga reveals a philosophical side. “My goal is not to see what tricks I can do,” he says. “It’s to ride a manual all the way down Pearl Street. For me, that’s like the moment of Zen. Just let it go, let it ride.” ®

To: All Lovers of Life From: Bob Cordon, Manager

BY PETER A N IR R EVEREN T R EAD O N VT POLrTICS

T h e J e n n in g s Interview 0

ne of the monsters of the TV news mid­ way was in beautiful downtown Burling­ ton Monday morning to interview our favorite presidential hopeful Howard Dean at the Firehouse Gallery.

Peter Jennings told Seven Days that ABCNEWS is preparing “a series of long, fairly in-depth personal interviews with the Democratic candidates.” They’ll air coast-to-coast in December. Ho-Ho’s is the first one they’ve shot.

Over the years, yours truly has inter­ viewed Howard Dean a zillion times. So, no offense, Ho-Ho, but, Peter Jennings, the anchor and senior editor of ABC­ NEWS’ “World News Tonight” appeared a much better catch for Seven Days.

Over coffee at the Red Onion across from City Hall, Mr. Jennings graciously sat down for a little one-on-one. Instead of asking questions, Jennings answered them. Awfully nice of him, wouldn’t you say?

and so the tension that we felt at the time of Vietnam is mostly absent.

I tell you how I notice it mostly these days as I travel back and forth across the country. It’s the difference between how and the spirit that we had in the country right after 9/11. Having come here first more than 40 years ago, I cannot remem­ ber any time in which the country seemed so united and so one, and so caring about one another. I think that’s broken down.

It’s broken down over the economy. It’s broken down over people’s differences of opinion over the Bush administration. It’s broken down about Iraq. It’s broken down, I think to some extent, about the media. And I now find a lot of angry peo­ ple in the country on both the left and the right. That’s a great tragedy, but I think it’s inevitable when the economy is bad and the war’s unresolved. So I’m not sur­ prised. But I don’t compare it to the Vietnam era.

Seven^pays: You're from tfrjt world of , SD: Has the press, ip. your opinion, national media, Peter, where Howard Dean wasn't even a blip on the radar screen a few months ago. When he first showed up, everybody said, "You've got to be kidding. He's from Vermont. No chance. Howard who?"

You weren't alone on that. All the national experts were saying that back in May. What do you think happened?

Jennings: Well, first of all, I can’t imagine myself thinking anyone from Vermont was a nobody, having come to this neck of the woods for a long period of time. But what I, like most people in the national scene did not know, was a great deal about the governor’s family background, business background, medical back­ ground. I didn’t know the story of his brothers, particularly his brother who was lost in Southeast Asia. So to come and sit down and talk to him about much of that is to get a bigger sense of what it is that forms this man.

But all you have to do is look at the var­ ious Democratic debates at the moment.

You begin to see a man of enormous confi­ dence, enormous self-confidence, consider­ able presence, a threat to his competitors in the Democratic competition, and a man who has clearly thought a lot about the national issues and [someone] who had very clear answers at the moment for those things in which he believes.

SD: You do the news every night.

America watches you do it.

In America right now there's not a great sense of security or hope for the future. A lot of people are wor­ ried about tomorrow on many fronts: Iraq, politics, the war, the White House, the economy. Is this tim e different than other times? Is this a flashback to the Vietnam era?

Jennings: No, I don’t think it’s Vietnam at all. For one thing, we don’t have the draft,

our American press, done its job in being the watchdog of this adminis­ tration?

Jennings: Let’s put it this way. This admin­ istration, even more than the previous one, plays things very close to its vest. Reporters joke sometimes that they like Democrats better than Republicans because they leak.

And this is a very tight and tightly con­ trolled White House. And the power of the bully pulpit that the president has, par­ ticularly in the wake of 9/11 and his lead­ ership there, which I think was unchal­ lenged by most of us in the country at the time, has given him an edge.

I think the press goes though cycles all the time, and it’s hard to generalize about the press in the first place, but I think the press is being tougher on the administra­ tion now than it was, say, six or seven months ago.

The Democratic candidates for presi­ dent have more confidence now than they had six or seven months ago to challenge the president. The president’s own stand­ ing in the polls is different. The press is one institution in the country which is not at all insensitive to the great surround.

So it isn’t as if we operate in a vacuum.

freedom oQSpeech. ?ree4o»uof f hePress.

SD: We got hit with "weapons of mass destruction" every day and it seemed unquestioned by the net­ works.

Jennings: Quite frankly, I’ve seen some studies in which we at ABC were deemed to be negative on our war coverage. I think if you look at that a little more closely, one of the reasons we were judged that way was, we were asking some of the questions before the war that people are just beginning to ask now.

So I can’t generalize for the media, but I think that we’ve all, some of us who know the area pretty well — I spend a lot INSIDE TRACK »

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers looking for illegal deer meat showed up at the De Leon Springs home of Israel A. Cervantes and Andrea D. Coleman, the couple gave them per­ mission to search their freezer. The officers found no venison but did notice two plastic bags containing about a pound of marijuana and sum­ moned police. “I couldn’t even guess how much it would have been worth,” commission Officer Danton Jones said. “But I'm pretty sure it wasn’t for their own consumption.”

Mensa Reject of the Decade A 26-year-old man from Illawarra, Australia, suffered a fractured pelvis and severe burns to his genital area after a firecracker exploded between the cheeks of his buttocks. The blast left him with a colostomy, incontinent and sexually dysfunctional. Dr. Robert McCurdie, who operated on the man when he was taken to Wollongong Hospital, likened the man’s condition to “a war injury.” Officials said they were investigating whether the victim had been imitating the film Jackass, in which men place firecrackers in their buttocks and fire them into the air.

business 20 years and never had any­ thing like this,” Craig Thompson, marketing manager of the couple’s insurance company, said. “It really does take the biscuit.”

• Authorities in York County, South Carolina, arrested three people after discovering that they were stealing mobile homes, then selling the homes to unwitting buyers. Sheriff’s Lt. Rusty Helms said that Amanda Adkins, 31, who had worked for a mobile home company, obtained a list of homes slated for foreclosure. As soon as the residents moved out, David Jenkins, 38, and Patrick Jenkins, 34, towed the homes away, leading the residents to believe the homes had been repossessed. The sus­ pects then sold the homes to buyers who had no idea they were stolen.

M istaken Id en tities Valdemar Lopes de Moraes, 39, went to a clinic in Brazil’s Minas Gerais State com­ plaining of an earache. W hen the doctor called the name “Aldemar Aparecido Rodrigues,” de Moraes answered and ended up having a vasectomy. “He was called by the full name and yet thought it was him ,” Vanessa Guimaraes, manager of the clinic, told Reuters. “But the strangest thing is that he asked no questions when the doctor started preparations in the area which had little to do with his ear. He later explained that he thought it was an ear inflammation that got down to his testicles.”

• A woman who switched beds at a

hospital in Fairfax County, Virginia, to be closer to the window died after she was given the wrong type of blood during surgery. Hospital officials said that a technician had taken a blood sample from the victim’s roommate without checking the patient’s name on her wristband and noticing that the two women were in different beds.

Reality TV Responding to a woman’s emergency call that her tele­ vision was on fire, firefighters in the German town of Lubeck found the set tuned to a channel’s regular earlymorning program of a burning log.

“Fire services rushed in and extin­ guished the ‘blaze’ using the television remote control,” said Sabine Kreft of the Super RTL network, explaining that the program is popular but distin­ guishable from a real fire. “Once I heard an old lady poured water on her TV,” Kreft said. “But most people should really be able to tell the differ­ ence.”

Two Thumbs Down Jacqueline A. McMahon, 52, pleaded guilty in Wheeling, Illinois, to assaulting a male stripper at her daughter’s bachelorette party because she didn’t think his per­ formance was satisfactory. Police said the 28-year-old was a stand-in for the dancer requested by the hosts, who complained that he cut his show short without paying enough attention to the bride. He suffered head injuries, bruises and scratches when McMahon punched, kicked and hit him over the head with a bottle. (?)

O n e D ay at a T im e he D.C. snipers were in the headlines one year ago Wednesday. But that doesn’t mean the smaller stories of the day went unreported. All over America, 529 women were writing about their lives, documenting the 24-hour period in daydiary form at the invitation of three Vermont editors. Thirty-five of their accounts are gathered in This Day: Diaries from American Women. “The biggest sur­ prise was how readily women agreed to do this for us,” says Joni Cole, one of three Dartmoutheducated women who put the book together. “I love the validation that Miss America signed on as well as the President of N.O.W .” Also the infertile CEO of Frederick’s of !: Hollywood and a* female prisoner ‘ lntcrnt-iy enterukitttaf...I highly recommend this hook. * convicted of - B*n VS Wnkif magaxij* killing her own children. It does­ n’t get much more diverse than that. “You just don’t have a clue about other people’s lives,” says Cole, suggesting the appeal of a readable reality show is “part voyeurism • and part inspiration. We get to satisfy our curiosity about other people, but we also get to see if we’re normal. ” In fact, Cole came up with the idea for the book dur­ ing a bad patch in her own life. She asked a few friends exactly what they were doing — and feeling — all day, and “the responses they sent back were illuminat­ ing,” Cole writes in the introduction.

“Part itinerary, part journal, these ‘day diaries’ revealed their lives from the inside out — showing not only how they spent their time but what was in their heads and hearts.” Short-term, it was comfort­ ing. Long-term, it turned into a book project with co-editors B.K. Rakhra and Rebecca joffrey. There are plenty of frazzled females in the paperback pages of This Life. But also a day in the life of a woman preparing to end her marriage, and straight talk from a devoted caregiver whose ALS-afflicted husband criticizes her care. Anatomy professor Jean Szilva o f Winooski is the book’s sole Vermonter.

The hour-by-hour format encourages a simple sincerity not often associated with self-conscious “journaling.” No, that doesn’t make a Celine Dion-loving Miss America any more interesting as she recaps a day of phone interviews from a hotel room. But her celebrity status may help sell a few more books. Ditto sitar player Anoushka Shankar. For the most part, the women featured in This Day are “ordinary people,” as Cole puts it, noting that aspect of the book kept big-name publishers away. They’re missing out, and ... . think they’re .

T

alone out there. “One of the strengths of fiction is that you get to share somebody else’s perspective. You can never do that in real life. The closest you can come is to read their diary,” Cole asserts. “A diary, unlike a memoir, really does feel more spontaneous, more candid, more unpro­ tected, closer to the bone” . . . If honesty is a prerequisite for a one-day diary proj­ ect, a five-day assignment ^alls for a real writer. That’s why the online magazine Slate recruited Sue Halpern to be its fea­ tured “diarist” last week. It was good tim­ ing for the Ripton writer, a Guggenheimwinning author-journalist who is married to Middlebury scholar Bill McKibben.

Her first novel, The Book o f Hard Things, just came out and there’s an ad for it at the end of every column on Slate. Better promotion still is the writing itself.

Halpern’s narrative in five installments weaves together the Red Sox drama, a persistent car salesman, Howard Dean, parenting, foliage and family reactions to her book. Her mother asks, “I thought most novels were 600^pages long. How< come yours is so short?” It’s the funny, deep and engaging journal you wish you could write.

INDIA INC. Improving the lives of women in India is a pressing matter for Evan Goldsmith. When he’s not manag­ ing projects for the Vermont Forum on Sprawl, the South Burlington resident is trying to crack U.S. markets for a group of craftswomen who make pressed-flower greeting cards in the foothills of the Himalayas. Goldsmith founded “Hope for Women” in conjunction with an Indian nonprofit. The idea was to create job opportunities “so indigenous women can educate their children and take con­ trol of their lives and future,” Goldsmith writes. He’s already selling the product on www.hopeforwomen.com, where you can buy boxes of eight cards for $16.95. The next step is finding regular retail outlets.

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE...

A Single Pebble thrived in two locations — Berlin and Burlington — for a year and a half. But the co-owners of Ver­ mont’s best Chinese restaurant, Steve Bogart and Phil Gentile, recently decided to close the older, smaller restau­ rant next to a bowling alley on the BarreMontpelier Road. Manager Gentile sold out to chef Bogart, who will concentrate all his Chinese-cooking efforts in Burlington. The Queen City spot, which is newer, was turning the larger profit.

But that wasn’t the only reason for the consolidation. “Both of us were racing back and forth,” says 56-year-old Gentile, who is looking for a new venture that doesn’t involve working weekends. “If we were in our thirties, we wouldn’t think twice about this.” ®

he only thing more ridiculous than Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor of California would be Arnold Schwarzenegger as presi­ dent of the United States — an unthinkable proposition under the U.S. Constitution, but one that recent events should warn us is now a distinct possibility.

Sure enough, Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah — a great friend of Arnold’s, apparently — has proposed a Constitutional amendment that would

No major American political office can ever have been filled by someone so devoid of ideas. The good news is that we are unlikely to have to sit through Terminator 4 for quite some years now.

T H E G U A R D IA N , L O N D O N .. ■. .•

allow any foreign-born meatfiead to become president “if he or she has been a U.S. citizen for 20 years and a resident for 14 years.”

Don’t ask me how Hatch picked these numbers, or why citizenship is considered to be more important than residency in the country you plan to stomp on. If you haven’t noticed, the nation’s gone nuts, and it won’t be made right in the head again by tampering with law.

Actually, although he has no credentials for the job, no ideas in his head and not a single proposal for reducing California’s budget deficit beyond the usual Republican scam of “no new taxes,” I’m not surprised that Schwarzenegger won. I was in California a few weeks ago and, believe me, it’s a mess.

How anyone can live there and not realize that the whole enterprise is doomed is past my comprehension. You only have to look at the place to know that, sooner or later, it’s going to die of its own excess — that is, if an earthquake doesn’t get it first and knock it whole into the sea, like Adantis.

The California coastline is now completely destroyed by development, high­ ways, runways, malls, amusement parks, prisons, hospitals, haciendas, community colleges, car dealerships and drug-treatment facilities. Nearly every Californian spends three hours a day talking on a cell phone while zooming around in an ever-larger, ' air-conditioned, gas-guzzling “vehicle.” But none of the resources needed to provide for these amenities — water, electricity, gaso­ line, satellites, bubble gum, hairspray and so on — can be found anywhere in the vicinity of the state.

It just isn’t sustainable, is what I’m say­ ing. It can’t be maintained indefinitely and forever.

When all else fails, I suppose, Californ­ ians can start heating their homes by mak­ ing bonfires out of the prehistoric goop in the La Brea tar pits. But, frankly, I think they know the game is up. Arnold’s victori­ ous campaign has to be seen as an exten­ sion of Peter Finch’s role in the film

Network, in which Finch, as a TV news anchor threatened with extinction, shouts out to millions of viewers, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” and becomes a hero to all.

Anyway, that’s one explanation for the Arnold phenomenon. Another would be that California, America’s most populous and westernmost state, has always been seen as the crystallization, the very perfec­ tion, of the American dream. Whatever happens in the country as a whole happens in California in spades. In Washington, we have a man in the WTite House who’s no more qualified to be president than Arnold is to be governor; it only makes sense that California voters, caught short by events, would rush to catch up by electing a man even dumber than Bush.

Overseas, they’re making jokes of the “good news/bad news” variety. The bad news is obyious, says The Guardian of London: “No major American political office can ever have been filled by someone so devoid of ideas. The good news is that we are unlikely to have to sit through Terminator 4 for quite some years now.”

I wouldn’t be sure. Early signs indicate — and, I believe, Arnoyjhas actually said — that he intends to gogaern like Ronald Reagan, appointing other people to do the job and limiting his own role to the photo-op and the chicken dinner. “Reagan made up for his lack of interest in position papers by his brilliance at reading speeches,” The Guardian frets: “But, in Governor Arnie, we are faced with a politician who can’t even talk. He is rapidly going to have to find some kind of stand-in — an ideological stuntman.”

Here, too, California might look to the national example for guidance. It was said of King Philip II of Spain — he of the Invincible Armada — that “no experience of the failure of his policy could shake his belief in its essential excellence.”

Such is the creed of our own reigning king Doofus, who turned up in New Hampshire last week to eat a slice of pizza and assure the locals that the situation in Iraq is “a lot better than you probably think.” On that very day, an attack on an Iraqi police station killed eight people, a Spanish diplomat was murdered and one more American soldier was blown to bits in an attack on a moving convoy.

“When you become the president,” said Bush, making no mention of these events, “you cannot predict all the challenges that will come, but you do know the principles that you bring to the office, and they should not change with time or with polls.”

He then turned it over to Condoleezza Rice, who, in an apparent backstairs victory over Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, has been named head of the newly created “Iraq Stabilization Group” and will be run­ ning that country herself from her office in the basement.

“This puts accountability right into the White House,” says a “senior administra­ tion official” in The New York Times. But, as Rummy can tell you, that’s exactly what it doesn’t do. It’s all in the spin. Just find your marks, shut your mouth and govern, already — serious candidates need not apply. ® ________________

BY CECIL ADAMS A L L W O R TH W H ILE H U M A N K N O W LE D G E

Dear Cecil, I wanted to respond to your column about the worst Catholic saint, an oxymoron i f there ever was one. In this column you depart from your high standards and trot out that threadbare, tendentious canard that charges Pope Pius X I and Pius XII with anti-Semitism. To bolster your argument, you refer to John Cornwell’s 1999 book Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History o f Pius XII. M any Jewish leaders who were contemporaries o f Pius XII expressed their gratitude fo r Pius’s help in saving many Jews in Italy an d other countries. I hope you w ill see f i t to revis­ it this issue.

— John Reistrojfer Chicago D on’t get excited, bub. For one thing, the first pope I said had been charged with anti-Semitism wasn’t Pius XI (192239) but rather Pius IX (1846-78), who oversaw the kidnap­ ping o f a Jewish child who’d been secretly baptized by his family’s Catholic maid, then raised him as his ward. As for Pius XII (1939-58), well, readers may judge for themselves.

Though Pius XII was considered saindy while alive, his reputation took a hit in 1963 with the appearance o f Rolf Hochhuth’s play Der Stellvertreter ( The Deputy). Hochhuth depicted the pope and other church leaders as cynical appeasers who, while publicly deploring Hider’s excesses, pri­ vately believed Germany to be the only force that could save the West from the Bolsheviks. Though the play is over the top in places, its portrayal o f Catholic officialdom’s timidity in the face o f totalitarian evil squares well enough with history that many were moved to take a second look at Pius’s papacy.

Pius has powerful defenders to this day, however, and has been nominated for sainthood by Pope John Paul II. But others see it this way: The Holocaust presented the Catholic Church with the ultimate challenge, and the Church pupped.

Space doesn’t allow a detailed treatment, but here are a couple key issues: • Was Pius X II anti-Semitic? The evidence is sparse, but John Cornwell cites a letter in his book that gives one

pause. In 1919, while Eugenio Pacelli, the future Pius XII, was serving as papal nuncio (ambassador) to Bavaria, com ­ munist revolutionaries seized power in M unich for three weeks. Pacelli sent this account to Rome, describing a palace occupied by the reds: “An army o f employees were dashing to and fro, giving out orders, waving bits o f paper and in the midst o f all this, a gang o f young wom en, o f dubious appearance, Jews like all the rest o f them, hanging around in all the offices with lecherous demeanor and sug­ gestive smiles. The boss o f this female rabble was [the chief revolutionary’s] mistress, a young Russian woman, a Jew and a divorcee... [Her lover] is a young man, o f about 30 or 35, .also Russian and a Jew. Pale, dirty, with drugged eyes, hoake voice, Vulgar, repulsive, with a face that is both intelligent and sly ” The pope-to-be m ight’ve had plent^ o f reasons to look down on the revolutionaries — a distaste for violence, for instance, or simple snobbery — but itsdifficult to read his remarks as anything other than antiSemitic.

• Could Pius X II have done more to save the Jews? The conventional argument, then and now, is no. Hitler was not about to be deterred from his murderous designs; if any­ thing, papal complaints would have increased Nazi savagery.

All Pius could do was shield individual Jews. If he harbored less-than-brotherly feelings about them, his conduct as pope didn’t betray it: N o one doubts that he spared thousands from death by hiding them in monasteries and the like. In Three Popes a n d the Jews (1967), Pinchas Lapide, one o f the pope’s many Jewish defenders, estimates that the Catholic Church under Pius saved 700,000 to 860,000 Jews. But the method used to calculate these figures is dubious — Lapide simply takes the number o f European Jews who survived the war, subtracts those saved by non-Catholics, and credits the remainder to Pius and company. Whatever the number, the pope wasn’t the prime mover in these rescue efforts; local clerics were the real heroes.

Let’s not quibble, though. Here’s the crux o f the issue: By m id-1942, Pius could have had no doubt that the Nazis were slaughtering Jews en masse. Yet though papal represen­ tatives did lodge protests against the deportation o f Jews, the pope him self made only vague appeals, never mention­ ing Jews or Nazis specifically. (The one time he intervened personally, in an attempt to halt deportations from Hungary in 1944, he referred only to people persecuted because o f their race.) Granted, others also equivocated. The Red Cross, for example, kept silent for fear its humanitarian work would be halted.

But Pius was the pope. H e had a unique responsibility to speak out — no one else’s words would’ve carried the same moral authority. Just a few years later, he denounced com ­ munism and made it clear he wanted bishops in Soviet bloc countries to oppose it, even if they risked persecution.

Condemnation o f the Holocaust might also have provoked reprisals, and certainly wouldn’t have stayed Hitler’s hand.

But if ever there was an occasion that demanded such a noble if futile gesture, wasn’t this it?

t ear-splitting volume, about 40 student musicians onstage in the Hunt Middle School auditorium are energetically warming up their instruments for a rehearsal. The band director, Craig Olzenak, puts two fingers in his mouth to whisde for their attention.

The cacophony subsides. These lively Burlington eighth-graders seenijwell aware of the mantra behind every aspiring virtuoso: practice, practice, practice.

The bearded, bespectacled Olzenak, who turns 49 this week, claps his hands with purposeful syncopation. The seated kids follow suit. This is a way of “establishing a basic rhythm,” he notes, for the rather martial-sounding piece they’re about to tackle, “Of a Distant Galaxy.”

Boys todting saxophones, trumpets and Craig Olzenak trombones in an attempt to master a particBand Director, Hunt Middle School ular refrain are distracted by girls chattering Burlington in the clarinet section. “Ladies,” Olzenak admonishes the talkers. “Too loud.”

Everyone setdes down. It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the last antsy period of the school day. But this artistic pursuit fosters a gravitas not usually evident in people who are 13 or 14 years old. The first concert of the season is scheduled in two weeks. And although amateurs, they may be imagining themselves on the threshold of — what else to call it? — show business. As Olzenak picks up a baton to lead them in a runthrough of the tune, he chants: “One, two...one, two, yeah, go!”

SEVEN DAYS: What is the upcoming event?

CRAIG OLZENAK: Its a district fall sampler, at Burlington High School on October 22, to demonstrate what we’ve learned this semester.

SD: Just this particular group?

CO: No. Our seventh and eighth grades will be combined -— that’s 80 or so all together. It’s a sampler for bands and cho­ ruses from Hunt, Edmunds Middle School and BHS. SD: How many kids do you work with?

Francisco Conservatory of Music in a two-year master’s program for orchestral clarinet.

SD: That was your horn of choice?

CO: Well, I imagined myself a trumpet player because you get to stand up and solo. Louis Armstrong and A1 Hirt inspired me. But I didn’t have the lips for it. Clearly, the trumpet wasn’t happening for me. I always tell the kids, “You may have some physical limitations in playing your favorite instrument, but try it any­ how.”

SD: Academia was your goal?

SD: That sounds like a lovely lifestyle. What made you decide to leave Europe?

CO: Both of our fathers were in ill health at that point. We wanted to be closer to family. We looked at a number of com­ munities, then flipped a coin to see who would go after another graduate degree.

Amanda wanted a master’s in English as a Second Language, and St. Michael’s College has a very good ESL program.

She now teaches Spanish there.

Burlington seemed to be a friendly place, with a number of schools, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra [for which I play clarinet], the beautiful outdoors and prox­ imity to bigger cities like Montreal, Boston and New York. Plus, we hadn’t really lived in New England before.

CO: Very much so. We have them sign a contract. They’re expected to practice at home six days a week if they want an A. Beginners need 10 to 15 minutes; seventh and eighth graders should do 20 to 30 minutes per session. We collect their prac­ tice charts, signed by their parents, every Friday. At school, the band rehearses every other day for 45 minutes.

SD: Does that approach pay off?

CO: At the end of each semester, it always blows parents away how much their kids have learned in three months. By gradua­ tion, one of every three students has tried band. Studies show that when you partici­ pate in the arts, it makes you better at other subjects. This is an environment to discover themselves as they work through adolescence.

SD: Do they tend to continue after leaving Hunt?

CO: Some are very serious about it. I try to model music for them as a lifelong skill, but if it’s just a hobby, I’m happy with that.

Dean on Limbaugh — As luck would have it, Dr. Dean had fol­ lowed up his Jennings interview with an hour of phone time in the gallery’s basement. We were guarding the door as he left.

Last winter, Ho-Ho was the first candidate to publicly go after the Humpty Dumpty of right-wing talk radio, Rush

Limbaugh.

by David Auburn

Recendy, he was the first to call for ESPN to fire the pompous blowhard from its NFL preview show for his racist remarks about a certain black quarterback.

As everyone k n o w ^ > Limbaugh, under investigation for buying dope in Florida, told his audience last week he’s * hooked on Oxycontin, a.k.a. “hillbilly heroin.” He then checked into a drug rehab facility to try to kick the habit.

You’ve got to feel bad for the Dope Head’s legion of “Ditto Heads” who’ve religiously swal­ lowed Rush’s ravings as gospel all these years. Hard to wake up and find your political Jesus is a junkie, eh?

Dean could have really stuck it to Rush for the recent great fall, but he didn’t.

“I consider drug addiction to be a medical problem,” said Dr. Dean. “So I’m not one of those who is jumping up and down with glee over this guy’s illness. But Rush Limbaugh has been a very unhelpful, hate-filled voice on the airwaves for a long time. I hope he does well with his addiction, but I’m not in any big hurry to have him return to the airwaves.”

P.S. Does anyone seriously think that all the Bush horses and all the Bush men will ever be able to put this Humpty Dumpty back on the radio again?

Seven Days hits the street Wed­ nesday, attorneys representing four environmental groups are filing a 108-page complaint in U.S. District Court. It’s designed to once and for all halt Gov. Jim Douglas' passionate quest to build the controversial Chitten­ den County Circumferential Highway.

)

Friends of the Earth, the Sierra Club, VPIRG and the Conservation Law Foundation argue that the project violates federal law in more ways than we can list here.

“There are federal environ­ mental laws that need to be satis­ fied,” said Attorney Brian Dunkiel. “As of right now the legal requirements o f the National Environmental Policy Act and the Department of Transportation Act have not been satisfied, so, yes, those laws have been broken.”

The Circ will increase sprawl, as well as air and water pollution, say the enviros. And the govern­ ment’s own studies show it’s not going to help with traffic or bring new jobs to the region.

The complaint also notes the remarkable political deal cut between Candidate Douglas and Vice President Dick Cheney at the Vermont GOP fundraiser last fall. All of a sudden President George W. Bush signed an “executive order” speeding up highway construction and over­ riding environmental review.

Then, just days before the November election, the Circ appeared on a list of seven high­ way projects put on the “fast track” by the Bush administra­ tion. Jimmy D held a press con­ ference by the side of the road in Williston to tout his victory.

The courtroom battle is expected to last until next sum­ mer. The state has agreed to hold off(any construction that causes “irreparable harm” until then.

This one, folks, is for the whole shooting match.

Rebel in the Ranks! — One year ago it was hard to find a stronger supporter of gubernato­ rial candidate Jim Douglas.

Today, it’s hard to find a stronger critic of the Douglas administra­ tion.

Veteran Republican state Sen. Vince Illuzzi tells Seven Days he’s “disappointed” in the per­ formance of Gov. Douglas on a host of issues, from Jimmy D ’s handling o f a possible purchase of the hydro dams on the Connect­ icut River to promoting strip development in New Haven and backing away from campaign promises concerning traditional uses within the Champion Lands.

Last winter Illuzzi jumped on the idea of the state purchasing the dams on the Connecticut.

Douglas’ position on the dams last winter, said Illuzzi, was “Let’s study it.” Appointing a study committee, said the King of the Kingdom, is a sure-fire tactic to kill a good idea.

Illuzzi says the “Let’s have a study” route is the same tactic Vermont’s largest private utility used in the 1960s to scuttle a pro­ posal by Democratic Gov. Phil Hoff to bring in low-cost hydro power from Labrador. Gov. Douglas stacked the current study committee, charged Illuzzi, with private utility loyalists like Luther Hackett and Richard Mallary.

Hackett and Mallary, noted Vince, were Republican leaders in the legislature when H off’s

SEVENDAYS deal went south. They’ve subse­ quently played prominent roles in the Vermont power industry.

Hackett’s the vice-chair of the CVPS board of directors.

“Manufacturers like Ethan Allen have left, or have threat­ ened to leave Vermont,” said Illuzzi, “because of high power rates. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. If we buy the hydros, and that’s a big if, they won’t be the end-all of high elec­ tric rates. But manufacturers need to see a light at the end of the tunnel.”

According to Douglas spokesman Jason Gibbs, “Sen. Illuzzi is entitled to his opinion.”

Gibbs said Jimmy D doesn’t want to “rush into a half-billiondollar purchase.”

As for the unexpected incom­ ing fire from a former Republican ally, Gibbs said, “We’re not sure why he’s mad at us. We certainly wish he wasn’t. We like him.

We’re looking into it.”

Don’t you just hate it when Republicans fight?

Mary Fanny Goes Offshore — The big sucking sound of American jobs moving offshore can be heard just about every­ where these days. From Barre stonecutter jobs to Levi’s textile jobs to IBM software design jobs, and now even jobs at our local hospital — Fletcher Allen Health Care, a.k.a. the Mary Fanny.

Yes, the same hospital that was spanked last week by federal and state law enforcement with a ?J$fi million fine for Tad cohduct by its former top brass.

Seven Days has learned some of the folks who transcribe doc­ tors’ notes don’t live anywhere near Vermont. Last year, the Mary Fanny contracted with two firms in India to handle its over­ flow transcription work.

According to Maria McClellan, director of public affairs, “Approximately 15 per­ cent of our transcription volume is being done overseas.”

The Mary Fanny, said Maria, has 62 transcriptionists on the hourly payroll and 35 homebased transcriptionists who are paid based on production. She said it’s been difficult for the hospital to recruit locally. The work being done in India, said McClellan, amounts to that of 11.5 full-time employees. And guess what? The folks in New Delhi do it better — 50 percent fewer errors!

But the Mary Fanny’s policy of moving local jobs offshore has drawn the attention of Burling­ ton City Councilor Phil Fiermonte (P-3). Prince Philip called it “unconscionable.”

“It’s not appropriate for the largest employer in Burlington to be sending jobs to India at very low wages,” said Fiermonte.

played it for many years before picking up the saxophone, he says. A confluence of reuniting with the six-string, finding a stu­ dio with “phenomenal” acoustics and discoverihg Bowles’ art songs led to talks with Bernardo about the current project. The girlfriend of viperHouse bassist Rob Morse, she had guest-sung with Orchid.

“I had previously heard Bowles’ orchestral music, but not his songs,” Chorney notes.

“They’re austere, beautiful, in the classical vernacular.” Intrigued by the tunes he heard on a friend’s record, he found a library book called The Unpublished Songs o f Paul Bowles, and started learning and transcribing them for guitar. “Miriam came to mind as a

sion of speech.”

Hence the almost conversational approach Bernardo takes on Songs and Music o f Paul Bowles. “He wrote with the rhythm of the human voice in mind,” confirms Chorney. “So rather than fit words to a pre­ conceived rhythm, he went the other way, with the natural cadences of the voice.” As a result, the songs feel unforced, but are subtly complex rhythmically — one of them is in 9/8. “But it makes sense somehow,” Chorney says with a grin.

Bowles had numerous collaborators over the decades — his autobiography reads like a who’s who of 20th-century letters and music.

Two of them contributed the lyrics to five of

the tracks on Songs and Music, four by close friend Tennessee Williams (“Heavenly Grass,” “Sugar in the Cane,” “Three” and “Cabin”), and one by William Saroyan (“A Litde Closer Please,” written for Saroyans play My Heart Is in the Highlands). Bowles wrote the music and lyrics for “Sleeping Song” and “Secret Words.” Two _ others are instrumental — a brief (1:38) piece originally intended to be incidental music in an Orson Welles theater work; the other, “Jinh,” from a field recording of a Moroccan flutist.

Other than the Middle Eastern-sounding flute and a turn on flugelhorn by Tom Morse, all the instrumentation is Chorney’s guitar. His plucking is quiet, pre­ cise, delicate. On some songs the guitar is “prepared,” that is, “there’s stuff on the strings,” he explains, and it makes the sound somehow thicker and wetter.

When Chorney sought permis­ sion to record the songs, the execu­ tor of Bowles’ musical estate “was generous and helpful, thrilled we’d discovered the songs,” he says. But while that suggests an invitation to delve deeper into the Bowles oeuvre, he and Bernardo have already moved o n . t o the man

who wrote The Threepenny Opera.

“Miriam and I worked together really well, and started kicking around what the next project should be,” Chorney recounts.

“We talked about a band, but instead decided to put together a repertory project, working on the music of a single composer. I’ve been wanting to do the music of Kurt Weill.”

A piece by Weill called The Seven Deadly Sins inspired the band name for a new ensemble that includes Chorney — on acoustic bass — Bernardo, drum­ mer Phil Carr, trumpeter Brian Boyse, guitarist Mark Christensen, Kala Boyse on clarinet and David Symons on accordion. In a sense, the transition from one composer to the other followed political mood: “The Bowles stuff was so ethereal and gentle, a good anti­ dote during the march to war [in Iraq],” explains Chorney. “Bup Weill addresses stuff head-on; written in Weimar Germany, it’s about poverty and corruption — beggars’ songs.”

Chorney says the group is a “natural extension of my collabora­ tion with Miriam,” and that its members will vary according to their affinity with the music. “The

only prerequisite [for the repertoire chosen],” he adds, “is that the artist can no longer perform his/her own music — i.e., is dead.”

Next, Chorney and Bernardo envision taking on the work of June Tyson, the longtime singer with the Sun Ra Arkestra who passed away in the early ’90s.

“Some of her songs were signature pieces for the group and she put her stamp on them,” Chorney says. “No one else had ever sung them but her; our arrangements would parallel those of the Arkestra.”

Meanwhile, he and Bernardo plan to play and sing Bowles as a warm-up set for The 7 Deadly Sins’ performance of nine Weill pieces this Friday night. Also a CD release party for Songs and Music, it’s sure to be the most unusual concert to date at the Eclipse Theater in Waitsfield.

Chorney is trying to line up a few more venues for this show as well.

“Now that I’m writing again,” he says, “we’re hoping to record The 7 Deadly Sins at the mill.

And I’m doing pieces for prepared guitar, cello and clarinet. These projects are unfolding in their own way, and they’re nothing but pleasure.” So much for resting. ®

Obviously, no one can hear the barking dogs from inside a soundproof room — or my knocking, for that matter.

Thankfully, Eller can spot visitors through the studio’s huge bay window, which overlooks 15 acres on the La Platte River. Eller is a youngish 52-year-old who looks a bit like Eagles front man Don Henley. He exudes the Zen-like patience of someone whose expertise is the musical equivalent of assembling an onion one layer at a time.

Insulated doors lead from Eller’s kitchen into a high-tech but comfy studio, which was designed by an acoustical physics lab in Athens, Georgia, and took half a year to build. My fears at having

Behind a large, aquarium-like window, dozens of vintage microphones of various shapes and sizes reach skyward like sun­ flowers, which, incidentally, would proba­ bly thrive here. Unlike the subterranean dreariness of many recording studios, Eller’s place is awash in natural light.

Someone working at the console can monitor recording levels while also admir­ ing the quiet grandeur o f Camel’s Hump in the distance. “When I built this place, I really wanted to incorporate windows that brought the outdoors in,” Eller says. “A lot of studios have the technology. W hat we’ve gone for is a living room feel.”

Not that Eller lacks gizmos. His 96track digital console is one of only three of

Blues. The roots-style record fea­ tures various Vermont blues artists, with virtually all the vocals sung by children,, some *s young as 9 years old.

As Eller shows his guest around, Asbell and sound engi­ neer Lane Gibson discuss how to reproduce the sound of Eric Clapton’s guitar in the John Hiatt song, “Ridin’ with the King.” It’s for a parody number about things that annoy chil­ dren, called “Ridin’ W ith a Sibling.”

Once the desired sound is nailed down, Gibson hits a but­ ton and the music begins to play. Multi-colored squiggles crawl across his computer screen, each one a different part of the musical palette — drums blue, vocals pink, keyboards green.

Asbell bobs his head to the / rhythm and strums a few riffs, adding another color to the acoustical portrait.

Gibson punches a button and the music stops abruptly. “I think that beginning lick can be a little tighter there in a couple of spots,” he says.

Asbell agrees. “I was antici­ pating more on this track and that may be the problem with the first lick. Listen to this,” he says, repeating the Claptonesque riff. “Yeah, that’s it! I’ve got to slow it down.”

W ith the click of a mouse, Gibson marks the edit point onscreen and restarts the song.

Asbell repeats the riff, this time at a slower tempo, as Gibson “punches in” the new version.

The effect is a seamless fix that even a well-trained ear couldn’t detect.

W ithout question, digital technology is infinitely faster and more versatile than its ana­ log ancestors. And unlike mag­

netic tape, which would have recorded over Asbell’s previous take, Eller’s system saves every­ thing to a 50-megabyte hard drive, allowing him to go back later and cut-and-paste at will.

Which isn’t to say that nothing gets lost in the new technology.

“The term, ‘punching in’ isn’t obsolete. But the art of punching in is,” Eller laments. “W th tape technology, say, if the bass player hit a wrong note, we engineers used to pride ourselves at how good we could pop into and out o f ‘record,’ literally on one note.

It’s something we spent a quar­ ter-century learning.”

He turns to Gibson and adds, “Don’t you miss being the hero?”

When the first overdub is complete, Gibson and Asbell exchange more techno-babble about how to accomplish the next one — which will recreate the sound of B.B. King’s guitar.

A door opens and in breezes Diana Winn, the owner of ReBop Records who conceived of Even Kids Get the Blues. Winn has gray, free-flowing hair, a lithe body and boundless energy. She and Eller have worked together for years, including on her 1998 album, Motown fo r Minors. Like that project, this one is meant to please not only children but also their parents, who are often sub­ jected to the same children’s record played ad nauseum.

Even Kids Get the Blues has special meaning to Winn. All the lyrics address issues that make children depressed, from homesickness to scary world affairs. “There are so many things that kids express to me when I’m working with them that are the blues,” she explains.

“People of all ages have their own tragedies.”

For instance, Asbell wrote a song called, “Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?” There are vers­ es about a child hearing two par­ ents fighting in another room, and another about having a brother in the Army in Iraq.

Another song, “Chop an Onion,” reminds children that it’s OK to cry. “We all came out of our mothers’ wombs wailing,” W inn says. “If that ain’t the blues, what is?”

Winn knows something about pain and anguish. Nine years ago, her husband, David “Crow” Levine, died of cancer. She recorded an album about coping with her grief called Sink or Swim in Eller’s studio. Then, three years ago, tragedy struck again when she went into the hospital with a severe migraine.

She was given an intravenous drug improperly and, three weeks later, doctors amputated her right hand.

That loss didn’t stop Winn, a guitarist, from making music.

But now, it’s friends like Eller who have become her instru­ ment. And the lessons she learned about music’s recupera­ tive powers are being incorporat­ ed into her current project. One of the child singers is Anneli Blume, a 10-year-old blues singer whose father just began serving a prison sentence in Florida.

“She’s going through a major change in her life. It’s really influenced how I’ve written this album,” says Winn. “For me, the song, ‘I Miss Daddy’s Chili,’ came from this place of me los­ ing my daughter’s father. But now, it totally resonates for Anneli, who has to be without her dad for five years. I’m sure

it’ll resonate for other kids whose dads are absentee.”

W inn never doubted for a moment that she would record this album with Eller. The loca­ tion is gorgeous, she says, the technology is unsurpassed, and both Eller and Gibson have decades of experience. But it’s more than that. Last week, on W inn’s birthday, Eller stopped everything in the middle of a session and told her to come outside. Why? To show her a double rainbow over Camel’s Hump. “I like that,” she says, with a broad smile. “It’s profes­ sional, but it’s also loose.”

Another consideration was Eller’s attitude about allowing children in his studio. Winn confesses that this project has seen its share of child-related mishaps, including a broken lampshade and a busted dog leash. This is Gibson’s first expe­ rience working with kids. “It’s a challenge because you have to keep them on task, you have to keep them from standing on speakers and hanging off door jams,” he says. “Anneli will come over and sit in this chair and just spin. And I’ve got a patch bay full of cables and knobs galore on all these expen­ sive pieces of gear.”

“Oh, Lane! You’re so anal,” Asbell jokes.

Two days later, Eller and Gibson are finishing a voice overdub by 12-year-old Luke Meierdiercks. He’s singing “Hug Me, Mommy, Hug Me,” a song about being home with a cold.

Meierdiercks is in a sound booth wearing headphones and a Superman T-shirt, while the hyperkinetic W inn dances and pantomimes through the win­ dow like a conductor. A little blond girl is splayed on the car­ pet with a coloring book. Ruby the terrier snoozes on the couch.

our men and two woman mug and ges­ ture as they mimic an incompetent royal entourage preparing for a hunt.

(It’s important to taste the animal’s droppings.) The harmonies emitting from their lips are as sweet and ethereal as their pantomime is absurd. This is the Oxford vocal ensemble I Fagiolini, performing at the University of Vermont’s Recital Hall on November 5.

While their playfulness might startle those who expect a concert-hall experi­ ence to be “heavy,” it’s surprisingly in tune with the spirit of early music.

Once the esoteric province of academ­ ic musicologists, early music is becoming increasingly mainstream in the classical music world. And while krummhorns and sackbuts aren’t likely to replace pianos and violins any time soon, per­ formances that evoke the era of those old instruments are plentiful in Vermont.

What exacdy is “early music?” De­ pending on the age of the person you ask, it could be anything pre-big band, pre-Beatles or even pre-Britney. But for most public-radio listeners, the dividing line is Bach. “Early music” is a term used in college classrooms and the recording industry to refer to pieces from the European Middle Ages, Renaissance and

Baroque period. Cross the mid-18thcentury line into Mozart and Haydn’s territory and you’re dealing with “classi­ cal music” in the stricter sense. . : J fr Back in the 1960snearly music had ^ reputation as the shaggy-haired hippie sibling of staid classical music. Though the field encompassed perennial favorites such as Bach and Handel, it was also full of seldom played or recorded compositions. For many, the early music “movement” was about reviving music the major classical labels and programmers viewed as too quaint or too culturally remote — or just plain too weird — to find an audience.

“It suddenly made people interested in all the stuff that was there that we didn’t know much about. So you dig it all out... some of it’s lousy and some of it’s terrific,” says Bill Metcalf. An emeri­ tus professor of history at the University of Vermont, he started the UVM Baroque Ensemble in 1965, along with his harpsichordist wife Elizabeth and current Lane Series Director Jane Ambrose.

For 23 years, the group provided Vermonters a window onto the earlymusic scene, playing medieval-era through late Baroque pieces in “concerts

which looked very similar to concerts that were being given in London, Amsterdam, New York, Boston,” says Metcalf.

The ensemble made use of period instruments and Baroque pitch— a semitone down from modern pitch “We didn’t have any trouble getting audiences,” recalls Metcalf, who now conducts the 35-member Oriana Singers. “Perhaps it was a time when people were just ready to listen to new things — or very old things that were new to them.”

In the ’70s and ’80s, Vermont was something of a rural hotbed for early music, with local fixtures like the Baroque Ensemble, the Goddard-based group Fire and Lightning, and a family business in Duxbury called Tourin Musica, which manufactured harpsi­ chords and viols.

Nowadays, while there may be fewer homegrown offerings, early music isn’t hard to find. This season in Vermont [see sidebar], it’s featured on the pro­ grams of the Mozart Festival, the Lane Series, at the Vergennes Opera House and Middlebury College, and at Montpelier’s Capital City Concert Series’ annual Bach Concert. There, Bach will be presented on modern instruments along with a harpsichord, in what series director and flutist Karen Kevra calls a “bold and romantic” style.

“What we do is not an early-music approach,” says Kevra, revealing an interesting quirk in the early-music concept. For some the term simply refers to a certain category of composers and scores. For others, early music rep­ resents a sort of living history: an effort to recreate the sounds and listening experiences of another age.

In music magazines, debates rage over issues such as the validity of using standardized modern instruments to perform pieces that were written for wooden flute or viola da gamba. “I’m not sure the term early music’ is neces­ sary anymore,” says Metcalf. “The way one performs music of earlier periods has become the dividing line.”

With the more frequent perform­ ance of early music in the ’60s came a movement toward “historically informed performance”— an effort fp recreate the original listening experi­ ence. This could involve anything from using period instruments to playing in a smaller hall to sleuthing after the com­ poser’s intentions.

“We look for spaces that are like the spaces of the 18th century,” says Ambrose, a flutist who will be playing at the Vergennes Opera House. “We happen to be lucky in Vermont that we can find old buildings to play in.”

Ambrose points out that many pieces we associate with large concert halls were originally written for venues more similar to clubs such as Red Square or Higher Ground. “Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos were per­ formed in a coffeehouse in Leipzig,” she says. “It was not a formal audience... people were drinking coffee, drinking beer. It was a social center.” Pieces com­ posed for the church, by contrast, “feel right” in a sacred space.

Old buildings may be easy to find, but period instruments — original or reconstructed — pose a greater hurdle.

“I have a certain admiration for musi­ cians who play authentic instruments,” says Kevra, noting that the non-stan- . dardization of early instruments makes pitch hard to control. “Modern instru­ ments allow more subtlety and tone color.”

Ambrose, who has spent years per­ fecting her technique on a wooden Baroque flute with one key, concedes, “It’s a real challenge. But once you learn to do it, you know that you’re hearing the music the way the composer heard that music and meant for it to be heard.”

To explain why, Ambrose points to.

Period instruments are softer, “more subde and perhaps more capable of blending,” according to Metcalf. Vibrato, the ornamenta­ tion beloved of 19th-century vir­ tuosi and modern pop divas, was used more sparingly by musicians in Bachs day.

Most musicians today realize that it’s impossible to recreate an original performance of Bach or Handel with complete accuracy.

Still, says Metcalf, the “historically informed” movement has had a ripple effect on the music world as a whole. Not only are singers and musicians better prepared to do justice to early composers than they were 20 years ago, but “later and later music became ‘early music,’ in a funny sense,” he

Though the notion of “virtuos­ ity” wasn’t unknown in the past, many Renaissance and medieval pieces have a simplicity that makes them playable by nonpro­ fessionals, says Metcalf. At the Amherst Early Music Festival, a major two-week event that will move to Bennington next sum­ mer, amateurs as well as profes­ sionals can perfect their tech­ niques on brass lute, harp or viol.

Part of early music’s appeal for both artists and audiences is that it “brings parts of history into our lives today,” offers Marybeth McCaffrey. A health-care policy analyst based in Lincoln, McCaffrey directs the organization Early Music Vermont and the Lincoln vocal trio celestial Sirens

Swale's Tale Catching an earful from Burlington’s new art-rock band

A STORY

ETH A N C O VE Y IMAGE

M ATTHEW TH O R S E N

soft hum is wafting through the warehouse district of Burlington’s South End. It’s an unusually warm evening for October — the air seems mismatched with the crunch of dried leaves underfoot. Inside one of the many nondescript buildings lining Pine Street, waves of guitar punctuate the muted groan of an electric piano.

Amanda Gustafson and Eric Olsen, cofounders of Burlington art-rockers Swale, are settling into the first song of an impromptu rehearsal.

Their cramped, rectangular prac­ tice space and recording studio, apdy dubbed “Box,” is a mess of instru­ ments, electronics and gear. Vein-like \

cords weave across the pale green floor. Amps and guitars lean against the walls. At the far end o f the room, silhouetted against a white wall, Olsen stands, half-turned towards his amp, guitar slung low. As he plays, strands of his long brown hair fall haphazardly across his bearded face.

Gustafson sits off to one side, setded behind a bank o f keyboards. Her face is serene, eyes darting from her fingers to her partner and back. Bassist Zach Ward — who is currently on tour with indie-popsters The Sixth Great Lake — and drummer Jeremy Fredericks are absent.

Olsen switches to drums to run

through a new composition by Gustafson. “I don’t feel sad anymore,” she sings softly, her warm alto voice carrying across the room. After a few takes, Olsen switches back to guitar, trying to nail his part. He pauses momentarily to sip on a bottle of Labatt Blue and adjust the levels on his amp. “Turn it the fuck up, man,” Gustafson calls out.

A few days later, I meet Gustafson — the band’s newly designated “mouthpiece” — at Three Needs Pub on College St. in Burlington. While the Friday-night crowd gathers around us, we discuss her new band’s formation and future. Conveniendy,

Olsen is there tending bar, and he occasionally wanders over to our table to add his two cents to the story.

Swale came together a year and a half ago, when Gustafson and Olsen were composing music for the debut o f the Queen City’s spicy cabaret Spiel Palast. Though the two were familiar with each others work as veterans of the local music scene, they had never collaborated before. Gustafson, for­ mer leader of local faves Wide Wail, was looking for a new project, and soon she and Olsen were spending their spare moments “hangin’ and fucking around” with new material.

“Basically, Eric had one song that

we started on, and we just really worked well together,” comments Gustafson on the group’s early days. Soon they were joined by Fredericks, one of the area’s busiest drummers and another Wide Wail vet. Olsen and Fredericks also briefly shared a time together years ago as roadies for Australian shock-rockers Led LO/CO, though Olsen explains that the job con­ sisted mostly o f the band “crashing at our houses and fucking our women.”

very few doing our thing. We really want­ ed a band."

“I definitely feel now that I write, for this band,” Gustafson adds. “I like the family aspect of it.” .

“Yeah,” Olsen chimes in. “We play, but we also eat dinner and shit.”

Aside from spending time with the “family,” the members of Swale are con­ stantly busy with other music-related proj­ ects. Gustafson is the general manager at Plainfield’s WGDR, one of the. state’s most active low-power FM radio stations.

Olsen found ways to coax sheets of noise and mind-bending solos from his guitar, working them into the material without sacrificing the band’s druggy melodicism.

“Writing and playing for us has been an exercise in space,” Gustafson explains.

“We [take a track], remove a lot from it, really give it space. Then, when we fill it, we really know how to fill it up. I don’t believe there really is much of a difference in intensity between a band like Led LO/CO and us. It’s still rock, and there is a lot of possibility in rock.”

One goal was to make Swale more than just a hobby for its players. “In this town it’s easy to have a ‘band for hire,”’ Olsen explains, referring to local groups that are constantly in flux, never settling on a solid lineup. “There are so many musicians, but

They’re about to begin recording an album, but won’t say when it will be released, or even what Swale’s sound might be at that point. “We are firm believers in making records that stand as a fresh document of [a band’s] sound,” says Gustafson. “We don’t give a shit about changing the world, we just want to keep track of where we’re at. ” Pondering what she has just said, Gustafson’s face darkens and she leans for­ ward. “You know, there actually is more of a reason that we make our music,” she says. “I get lots of information on all the fucked-up shit that happens in the world.

The seven-headed beast has definitely emerged from its lair. These are fucked-up times, and this is the only thing that we can do against it.” ®

Tracing the evolution of the guitar in Am erican roots m usic

ich Kirby plays the guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo, and he has pro­ duced a hatful of old-time records for JuneAppal, a record-and-preserve label based at WMMT, a community radio station in Whitesburg, Ken­ STORY tucky. “You want to know about the T IM history of the guitar around here?” he B R O O K E S asks in response to my query. “My grandmother was born in 1890, and Vermont author she was a teenager before she ever saw Tim Brookes is researching the one,” Kirby recounts. “I guess it was social history of an African-American railroad worker had one, when they were bringing the the guitar in America for a railroad up to the coal mines.” forthcoming It’s a paradox in the history of the book from guitar that even though the instru­ Grove Press. ment would turn out to be a staple Seven Days caught up with ingredient in country music, this cor­ him recently ner of America, where country, blueafter he spent grass and “hillbilly” music were born, a week in the was one of the last to see and adopt mountains of the guitar. The guitar also came late Appalachia, to folk music in the British Isles, expecting to hear bluegrass where I'm from, so I’m not surprised music. "As to hear Kirby's anecdote. (His grand­ usual," he mother, a ballad singer, must have says, "everything been quite the young lady, though, I thought I knew was wrong." hanging out around the railroad workers' camps and picking up their blues songs by ear.) What surprises me is that here in the Bluegrass State, the traditional music is not bluegrass.

It’s something called old-time.

Suzanne Saveli, a DJ at W M M T with a traditional-music show and a Master’s in Appalachian Studies, sets me straight. Around Whitesburg, the

R

traditional music is still old-time — the stately fiddle-and-banjo music for ballads and square dances that became popular with Ken Burns’ Civil War sefies and the movie O Brother; Where A rt Thou?

“People around here make a big distinction,” Saveli says. “Old-time is more about the music and less about the people playing it. In bluegrass you have stars. It’s showy. It’s the rock ’n’ roll of country music. Old-time is much more low-key. It’s about partici­ pation, not demonstration.”

Bluegrass is generally seen as hav­ ing been launched by the radio per­ formances of Bill Monroe in the mid1940s. Earl Stanley, of the famous Stanley Brothers, says that bluegrass music didn’t even get its name until 1965, when the organizers of the first festival couldn’t think what to call it and decided to adopt the name of Bill Monroe’s band, the Bluegrass Boys. It changed the meaning of the word so radically that this is now perhaps the only example on Earth of a music genre named after a band.

If I want to understand old-time, Saveli says, I should come to a square dance — and there happens to be one in a local community center that Friday night. So as the shadows start to spread into the valleys, I follow her car down a road that weaves through a deep wrinkle in the hills — a “holler,” as they call it here. Brick houses, ranches, trailers, horse pas­

tures and corn patches jostle for the tiny flat spaces beside the creek.

As I drive, three questions form in my head: What was this rural music like before the guitar arrived? How did the guitar change it? And what skill does it involve — in other words, what is the guitarist doing when s/he’s playing well?

The banjo player Lee Sexton is a legend, Saveli explains, a traditional musician in his sixties who has been honored by the Smithsonian. By the time we get to the center he’s already on a chair by the fireplace playing an old Gibson banjo, the skin of its head worn transparent on both sides of the strings by his thumb and fingers. He now plays only thumb-and-finger, since he broke his second finger working in the mine.

He and fiddler Ray Slone, a retired math teacher, run through “The Battle of New Orleans” and “Old Log Cabin in the Woods.”

Neither plays dazzlingly, but their fingers look utterly at home on the frets. Thinking like a 21st-century guitarist, I wonder who will play lead and who will play rhythm, but their performance isn’t like that. They play neither in unison nor in harmony, nor does one back up the other. Each plays the tune in the idiom of his instrument, with the banjo adding alternating strings in the right key, and the fiddle adding an open-string note when possible, like a dog and a

cat walking side by side. A braided tune, maybe.

Later Sexton and Slone are joined

by Sean (whose last name, spoken quickly in thick Kentucky, is lost to me) on guitar. Immediately the sound is different: more bass, fuller, more like an ensemble and less like a musi­ cal conversation. But what’s in it for the guitarist? Sean basically strums G most of the night, with predictable ventures into C, D and A7, while the fiddle and banjo have all the fun.

Where is the thrill for the guitarist?

O r the skill?

While I’m trying to puzzle this out, Beverly May, a nurse-practitioner who teaches fiddle on Thursdays after school, puts down her paper plate of seven types of white carbohydrate, and beckons to Elmer, one of her three early-intermediate students. (“They’re becoming fiddling fools,” she says. In a few weeks the student fiddlers, guitarists and banjo players will get together to try some old-time ensemble playing.)

A thin kid with glasses, Elmer looks as if he might easily be picked on if he didn’t do something well. He shows his stuff on her violin, playing “Shortnin’ Bread.” “I know so many tunes I can’t keep up*[with myself],” he says immodestly, but with a shy grin.

That’s the skill in old-time music: knowing the tunes. As Saveli has sug­ gested, it’s about participation, not

demonstration. Old-time music starts to make sense to me. Its musicians may seem old and slow compared to bluegrass or country players, but the necessary skills are more social than digital; their job is to keep the music alive and everyone involved, regardless of talent. They were the entire enter­ tainment industry in the days before electricity brought us recording, radio and television — the pre-media days. And unlike in the modern music business, the musicians willingly bear a social and moral burden for the well­ being of their small community.

In a strange way, this old-time spirit survives in all kinds of com­ munal acoustic music. When I think of myself back in college days, playing guitar around the dying embers of a party, nobody wanted me to show off. They wanted songs they knew and could sing along with il they felt like it: Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, James Ttylor, Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant’’ — everyone’s repertoire in the heyday of fingerstyle acoustic guitar. It was a party, alter all, not a per­ formance.

But back to the square dance.

Beginners though they are, young Elmer and his cousin Donald are invited to join in on fiddle and banjo. Another guy arrives with a

mandolin. We start dancing to a very, very long tune that the musi­ cians play helpfully, obediently; they are iri the background. All ages dance with a fair amount of confusion, which is half the fun.

It’s all about joining in.

Thinking about the after­ school music program, it strikes me that this is a perfect chance to see how old-time rural musicians teach the guitar — in other words, how they understand it, how they present it to others.

How they keep it alive.

On Monday I volunteer to go back out to the community center as a teacher’s aide to help Roy Tackett. The 51-year-old single dad, a barrel-chested mountain man with a wild goatee and sus­ penders, grew up in a nearby coal camp. As a kid he'd go to a soda fountain across from the camp, where Dock Boggs, later to become an old-time banjo legend, would come and play. Stores and post offices were also communal music venues in Appalachia, he says.

Tickett himself played rock ’n’ roll in a mountain speakeasy across the line in Virginia, where it was legal to drink but not to drink and dance. “It was wild, man,’’ he recalls before we set off to our teaching job. “I’d see women come in there fighting

with their high heels. Blood gushing out.”

Tackett has a new stu­ dent, 7-year-old James, and the first thing he shows the kid is not how to hold a guitar but how to hold a pick. I’m assigned an older boy named Jason, and when I start playing fingerstyle, his eyes grow wide and he calls out, “He’s playin’ it like a banjo!”

Where did it come from, I wonder, this belief that piece of plastic should come between you and your guitar?

Well, for one thing, it allows the guitarist to play louder, to be heard at the square dance. But it has anoth­ er virtue, too, one that emerged later as bluegrass grew out of old-time. A flatpick, like a bow, is a tool for striking strings rapidly. As such, it allows the guitar to expand beyond its

simple old-time strumming role and start play­ ing fiddle lines.

Thinking back to Friday night’s square dance, I remember that when the motley little band was taking a break, Sean, the guitarist, started play­ ing fast melody lines to himself as if to reassure himself that he was really a young dude with some juice in him. All the old-time stuff was fine, but if you showed him an open road he could be out of the gate like a drag racer, like any other young bluegrass stud.

After my excursions at the community center, I go back to the radio station to ask Rich Kirby a question that can perhaps only be answered here in Appalachia, where the guitar arrived so late.

Why did people take it up, when they’d been get­ ting on fine without it? What impact did it make? Why did the guitar take root here and ultimately take over popular music in America?

Kirby has given this matter a lot of thought.

“People complained that the guitar ruined oldtime,” he says, “because it forced a chordal struc­ ture on it that it didn’t have.”

If we’re brought up learning piano or guitar, we tend to think of music as being crisp and rec­ tangular: white notes and black notes, tones and semi-tones, three-chord rock ’n’ roll songs.

When I look at the guitar fingerboard, I see the rectangles formed by strings and frets as being like pigeonholes; everything must fit in here somewhere.

This view is modern, Kirby explains. It does­ n’t take into account the fact that the human voice doesn’t work in neat, incremental steps.

Nor did old-time fiddlers, who hit pitches that sound weird and wrong to modern ears because they landed somewhere in between an E, say, and an E flat.

“You can also hear it in unaccompanied old Baptist singing,” Kirby says, “and of a lot of the banjo payers ft} the 1^9th cen­ tury were playing fretless banjos, so you’d have a 'I / ^ r e g ^ n g e for that tonal consciousness.”

The first song, “A Shepherd’s Dream,” is a classic Celtic fiddle tune that McManus plays very fast and skillfully, sounding very much like a fid­ dler, only with the greater crisp­ ness that comes from playing a fretted instrument.

When he changes to the sec­ ond tune — “Onga Bucharesti,” a klezmer tune from eastern Europe — he brings in another guitar, striking chords. The change is utterly dramatic, and it surely gives us a sense of what the guitar would have sounded like when it first got added to old-time music. As soon as the chordal guitar comes in, the piece becomes half old-time, half rock ’n’ roll.

The hard, chunky guitar adds big, square chords — and in doing so the piece loses some of the subtlety of the fir: tune, some of the sense of soli­ tary, naked endeavor. But what it gets is fatness, depth and that piledriver energy. It sounds modern. It rocks. ®

t remains to be seen how many peo­ ple in our time will make that jour­ ney from war to nonviolent action against war. It is the great challenge of our time: how to achieve justice with struggle, but without war.” These STORY words from iconoclastic historian ER IK ESCK ILSEN Howard Zinn will reverberate through downtown Burlington during the Vermont International Film Vermont International Festival (VIFF), which begins this Film Festival.

Thursday, October 16, and concludes Venues on Monday. Zinn will appear in per­ throughout son for a panel discussion titled downtown Burlington, “Artists in a Time of War” — also the October 16-20. tide of his upcoming book — follow­ ing the premier screening of You Cant Be Neutral on a Moving Train. The documentary on Zinn’s life and work was co-produced by local filmmaker Deb Ellis and her Midwestern col­ league Denis Mueller.

Actor Danny Glover will also make an appearance at the festival, on Monday, when he will give a press conference and present The Agron­ omist. The Jonathan Demme film is part of the festival’s “Haitian Showcase,” which marks the 200th anniversary of Haiti’s revolution for independence from France.

Both events continue the festival tradition of awakening viewers to the myriad struggles carried out beyond the indifferent gaze of mainstream

media. The tragedy of 9/11 and glob­ al events in the intervening two years have sensitized many moviegoers to the themes that predominate at VIFF. And that may be why Executive Director Mira Niagolova was willing to gamble on expanding both the number of films and the number of people on hand to discuss them. “If we survive this year, I’ll be more con­ fident in what we do,” she says. “We took a couple of very big risks, and we’re really in a bit of a stretch for how this will go.”

The larger quantity of films — more than 65 shorts, features, docu­ mentaries and narratives from 11 countries — is a result of Niagolova’s lowering the submission costs from $65 for all films in previous years to $25 for films under 30 minutes and $45 for longer ones. The price of entry to festivals can make all the dif­ ference to independent filmmakers.

Niagolova, whose resume includes the Canadian Film Board and Bulgar­ ian state TV, is in her second year at the helm of VIFF. Her gamble has paid off particularly well in the area of short films, most of them experi­ mental. “They break traditions and break boundaries,” she says. While Niagolova and other festival staff don’t like to single-out “must-see” movies, they acknowledge a few that

are likely to get people talking.

She and VIFF President Barry Snyder both consider Cry fo r Bobo a gem waiting to be discovered. The British short film is a fictional tale about clowns constantly running afoul of police, who are out to get them for no reason other than that they’re clowns. “One begins to under­ stand that these clowns stand for any oppressed people,” Snyder says.

The documentary Discovering Dominga also shows up on pre-festival radar. Its the story of a woman who, as a young girl in Guatemala, wan­ dered the cornfields after her parents were killed. She is eventually taken in by a Catholic relief organization and relocated to Iowa, where the film and her journey of self-discovery begin — thanks in part to the Midwestern community that takes an interest in her cause and, in the process, be­ comes aware of the political killings in Central America.

Snyder, a cinema studies professor at Burlington College, also has his eye on Etre et Avoir (To Be and to Have).

Reportedly the largest-grossing docu­ mentary in France ever, this story about a French educator earned acco­ lades at Cannes in 2002 for its mov­ ing portrayal of the small but power­ ful changes an individual can make in the lives of others. ,

In addition to the Howard Zinn documentary, another Vermont col­ laboration piques political interest.

From Vermont directors Anne Macksoud and John Ankele comes Arms for the Poor, a commentary on the priorities of the military-industrial complex. Macksoud was last year’s winner of the James Goldstone Award, sponsored by the Vermont Film Commission, for her documen­ tary on AIDS in Africa. Arms for the Poor, Snyder says, “is just a brilliant example of what you can do with half-hour films in terms of capturing the essence of an issue. It’s full of images that are hard to look at, but... [it’s] just a powerful, educational film.”

The Vermont Showcase at VIFF this year features 18 films. There’s the musical short Da Speech, in which director John Douglas uses a synthrap track from Simon Stockhausen to score footage from the Iraq war.

There’s director Arthur Bell’s whimsi­ cal short, Only a Farmer, in which farmers read a poem to reflect on the beauty and sparseness of the land.

And there’s the civic-minded Town Meeting, from director Bond Sandoe, in which Vermonters debate civil unions in a fictional tale drawing on verbatim quotes from nonfiction sources.

Howard Zinns talk, though, is likely to create the most buzz.

Considered a kind o f “elder statesman” o f the political left by

about anarchist Emma Goldman, and M arx in Soho.

Viewers o f You C ant Be Neutral on a Moving Train may be sur­ prised by Zinns charm. “We really discovered this incredibly warm person,” Ellis says. “He’s not a very didactic, angry man at all.” Zinn reminded her, she says, “that you can be an

Howard Zinn has em erged a s a four-star general in the war against com placency. two generations now, Zinn packs formidable street credibili­ ty. From his civil-rights activism in the South, which cost him his teaching job at Spelman College in Atlanta, to his pitched politi­ cal battles on campus with for­ mer Boston University President John Silber, to the million-plus copies sold o f his innovative text A People’s History o f the United States, Zinn has emerged as a four-star general in the war against complacency. He stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes o f Noam Chomsky in the Pentagon o f the proletariat. He even gets a nod from Matt Dam ons character in the film Good Will Hunting. Both Chomsky and Damon lend their star power to the Ellis-Mueller documentary; Damon, a neigh­ bor and virtually lifelong stu­ dent o f Zinns, narrates the film.

Zinn is still a fighter — in “retirement” he has continued to write books and even stage plays about heroes in the move­ ments he supports: Emma,

activist, you can be a radical, and you can love life.”

For all his personal attrib­ utes, Ellis adds, what really defines Zinn as a voice for the voiceless is his acumen as a sto­ ryteller. “He understands the role o f storytelling in passing on ideas about our world and how our world works,” she says. “He brings to life these stories o f people who are working, who are the backbone o f our society.

Usually when we read history, we read from the top down. He starts from the other end.”

Ellis hopes her film can achieve what VIFF is going for.

“One o f the strengths o f the film is that it speaks to people who ordinarily wouldn’t listen to him,” she says. “He has the capacity to speak beyond the committed.”

Zinn may have an important message even for diehard radicals, particularly those suffering from batde fatigue. “He brings back the optimism, and I think he reminds us that we need to keep on going,” Ellis suggests.

W Despite the abundance o f films and panel discussions, this year’s VIFF will be easier to attend than in past years due to its strictly downtown venues — including a new space in the Firehouse Center for the Arts. Named in memory o f for­ mer VIFF head Lorraine B. Good, the screening room on the second floor o f the Firehouse will allow VIFF to host film screenings, retrospec­ tives and other events through­ out the year. “We are so lucky with this relationship, and so . grateful to City Arts,” Niagolova says. “We want to be downtown... It’s very impor­ tant for the success o f the festi­ val not to be spread all over the place.”

Niagolova is also quick to recognize The Roxy’s support o f the festival and the mutual benefits o f V IFF’s relationship with owner Merrill Jarvis.

“They’re welcoming, and we hope that together we can build a strong audience not only for the festival,” she says, “but this will help Merrill, too, -• to have some o f our audience throughout the year... a big, 35-millimeter screening room is really fantastic.”

While Niagolova braces for this year’s unique test o f V IFF’s resources and logistical .skills,.

Snyder acknowledges the ongo­ ing challenge in presenting independent films. “I think there’s this misperception that people are going to have to sit down and endure didactic propaganda, and that’s the mis­ perception that I’d challenge the m ost,” he says, “Because in the end, whether a film is a documentary or a fictional nar­ rative, what makes a good movie a good movie is the same. Aiid these are good movies.

“The purpose o f the festival is not to put forth propagan­ da,” Snyder adds. “It’s to put forth films that engage and enrich a discourse around issues that are less well repre­ sented in mainstream media.”

Ironically, the topsy-turvy state o f the world seems to be bolstering moviegoers’ appetite for the kinds o f stories told at this festival. “The economy is not very friendly for film festivals now,” Niagolova notes, “although for festivals like ours that show films o f global concern — we have the winds with us.’’ (7)

There’s a freewheeling mood to the Oct. 17-19, 24-26, tions o f present-day colloquial.

But it’s only when she blurs the boundaries between actors and audience that it feels like she’s truly shaking things up.

It’s hard to believe when you’re first seated that anything more populous than a one-man show could squeeze itself into the tiny performance space cum bar on the ground floor o f 135 Pearl. But the intermission and banquet, and to the intimacy helps foster a convivial, relaxed audience-participation dance party that mood, as does The Brew, a four-person concludes the evening, that really does combo playing music director Craig feel like a re-envisioning o f Shakespeare, Mitchell’s tasty sax-driven score.

Banquo with a prologue and epilogue which portentously make points she should allow the play to make for itself: “There are no innocents,” he announces at the beginning, casting a doleful impli­ cating glare around the audience. Ooh. And he is assigned the unfortunate duty o f telling us at the end what the witches represent: Money, Flesh and Power. These morality-play monikers seem both tardy and inaccurate, since we’ve already seen each o f these actresses embody all o f these concepts.

And there’s really no need for Boray to lay a Message on the audience, because the rest o f her play does that pretty well with­ out resorting to a sledgehammer. Masi’s Macbeth vividly establishes that he’s all too ready to accept the witches’ promises o f greatness; they simply provide conven­ ient otherworldly backup for ambitions he was harboring anyway. (“I always have time for the press,” he says when a reporter/witch interviews him about his

es its climax, so to speak, in a blackly comic tango, “Let’s Kill Him Tonight.”

I wish Boray had figured out how to maintain this kind o f illuminating irrever­ ence throughout the production. Instead, when she gets to some o f the most famous, and famously complex, passages — Lady M ’s sleep-walking scene (“Out, damned spot! ”) and Macbeth’s “To-mor­ row, and to-morrow, and to-morrow” soliloquy — she and her actors seem to hit a wall. Masi and Girdich are smart, even compelling performers, but they play these pivotal moments straight and staid, with little color or invention. Granted, it’s tricky business fooling around too much with such venerated language, but where’s ^ the “re-imagining?”

It’s hard to know what Boray is trying to say at these moments. This is true, too, o f the way in which some o f the characters are treated. Banquo’s solemn moralizing is inconsistent with the regular-guy persona he’s assigned in the rest o f the play —

There’s really no need for Boray to lay a M essage on the audience, b ecau se the rest of her play d o es that pretty well without resorting to a sledgeham m er. promotion to Thane o f Cawdor.)

Fueled by self-fulfilling prophesies, he and his wife convince themselves that they’re “corrupting for a higher power,” doing the Lord’s duty by overthrowing a king who’s “drunk on power and swal­ lowed by sex.” Any similarities between this higher-power couple and our present God-infused White House are purely intentional.

No cowboy hats here, though. Masi arid Girdich are quite a bit more glam than the Bushes, he tall and bearded in a doublebreasted suit and a jabot; she elegantly sexy in a gold lame crown and leather corset.

They’re also a considerably spicier pair than Dubya and Laura: Their connection reach­

though that does allow him some funny throwaway lines. M acduff (F. Brett Cox) is portrayed as a fey bureaucrat in ruffles and a kilt (“ No tears, there’s no time”). That choice is fine as far as it goes, but it becomes problematic when M acduff learns o f his family’s massacre, a scene which is played with utter seriousness in close adherence to Shakespeare’s original text.

Are we still supposed to laugh?

There’s clearly an animating intelli­ gence at work in this production and, despite pacing problems on opening night, it’s never dull. But surprisingly enough, despite the contemporary accents, this C liff Notes version o f Macbeth is at times too faithful to the source. ®

BLUE JAY:: While Son Volt and Uncle Tupelo hold their positions at the top of the alt-country echelon, Jay Farrar continues to plow past the musical landmarks of his former bands. On his latest solo disc, Terroir Blues, he opens up his sound, experimenting with different compositional tricks while never letting go of his trademark sad, rustic roots. This Sunday Farrar hits Higher Ground. Cosmic space-country rockers Canyon back him up and play an opening set of their own desert-tinged psych-freakouts.

For fine lodging in the mountains of central Vermont, the Stowehof Inn is a peak experience. Built in the late '40s and frequently remodeled during the subsequent decades, the 46-room resort is a classy alternative to the area's multi-level hotels. Rooms cost a pretty penny, but from swank dining to golf and swimming, the Stowehof is a cool place to chill. On Saturday evenings, pianist Anthony Geraci entertains patrons with classic jazz standards in Emily's, the on-site pub. During the summer months, Geraci and fellow local jazzers perform outdoors on the patio. Visit www.stowehofinn.com for rates and information.

reviewth is KELLER WILLIAMS, HOME (SCI Fidelity Records, CD) Doesn't Keller Williams have any friends? OK, maybe that's a little harsh, but this one-man anomaly has been touring solo for years, staging his performances with the aid of loop machines in place of a backing band. In a live setting, this formula is a marvel to watch, but how does it translate on record? Home, Williams' eighth release, is also his first entirely solo effort in the studio. The 16-song collection is standard Keller: quirky lyrics, lots of acoustic guitar and an assortment of backing instruments. The opening track, "Love Handles," jokingly reflects on the singer's physical state with lines like, "I'm packing the love/I don't think it's a bad thing/It keeps me warm in the winter/Makes me sweat in the spring." "Victory Song" tackles the possibility of an alien invasion, calling for the union of the human race in order to collectively "kick some serious Martian ass." "Dogs" might be the first earnest canine love song in pop history. Fans expect a light-hearted perspective from Keller, and on Home he certainly delivers. Pick up the album for a few laughs — and catch his innovative live act at Higher Ground this Saturday. Peter Prince and the Trauma Unit open.

JARED ISHKANIAN

TIMONIUM, UNTIL HE FINDS US (Southern Records/Pehr, CD) Timonium's new album Until He Finds Us somehow manages to be both comforting and a little unsettling, creating sparse sonic landscapes and then washing them with sound.

The four-piece band features both male and female vocals trading hushed phrases, with an airiness akin to both Bedhead and Yo La Tengo. Musically and lyrically, it's an Aplus. There's a mesmerizing, soothing aspect to the minimal, slow passages that allows both big swells and subtle, tricky rhythmic shifts, especially between the guitars and drums.

In "Red Pawn," a soothing voice calmly imparts, "We were just a pawn/we are writing this to inform you/that tomorrow we will all be killed/by our families." It's perfectly, broodingly devoid of testosterone, allowing the words to cut with­ out forcing the point. Until He Finds Us is beautiful and bru­ tal and gentle and heavy and delicate. You could fall in love to, or with, this record. Timonium appear next Tuesday at Club Metronome with The Cush and Moonraker.

While the groove circuit cycles through styles and fads quicker than the coolest Brooklyn hipster, New York's Soulive have stayed remarkably true to their goal of creating head-nodding, booty­ shaking funk epics topped off with velvety jazz. On their last studio full-length release, Next, the group veered into more chart-friendly territory, with mixed results. Following that, Soulive retreated to more passive territory with an abysmal eponymous live disc. Evidently, the band was struggling to maintain its identity while adding some spice to the sound.

Turn I t Out Remixed, the funksters' new disc, is their latest effort to thrust some new energy into their old M.O. This time, instead of snagging Dave Matthews to contribute, as they did on Next, Soulive turn their full attention to MCs and DJs from the underground hip-hop world.

Joining the crew are hot-shit hip-hoppers such as DJ Krush, DJ Spinna, The Beatnuts and J-Live as well as lesser-knowns such as Worsdsworth and Dub Fader.

For source material, Soulive turn back to their 1999 breakthrough, Turn I t Out — the first, and to many listeners the finest, moment of their fully developed sound. Yet, the all-star guests do a solid job of crafting the original grooves into altogether different, downtempo cuts. ' "Tabasco Remix" pits Wordsworth's smooth verses over a loping bass-lead beat. There is little recognizable Soulive here, but the track manages to bounce along addictively enough. On "Doin' Something Remix," Me'shell Ndegeocello shares the studio with Jurassic 5's Chali 2na and Akil.

Ndegeocello's sultry vocals and some energetic trumpet bursts craft the track into a smooth slice of soul. *.

However, like many remix discs, this album suffers from frustrating inconsistency. Also, the highlights peppered throughout are usually due more to the work of the collaborators than of Soulive themselves. DJ Krush's "Turn It Out Remix" is a solid piece, though not among his most memorable compositions. Elsewhere, tracks cruise by in a mellow yet impression less flow.

Overall, it's good to see the band reaching in new directions. But Turn I t Out Remixed turns out to be another disc of filler rather than a proper follow-up to Next. Best to check out the live show, next Tuesday at Higher Ground. Ndegeocello opens. Ivan Neville guests with Soulive.

ARTWORK "Jupiter and Antiope," by Rembrandt van Rijn

•|

everal hundred years after he lived and worked, Rembrandt remains a “celebrity” o f single-name status; chances are that several hundred years from now his work will endure while that of, say, Yanni might not. O f Rembrandt van Rijn’s 290 etchings, 85 are currently on view, along with additional prints o f the era, at U V M ’s Fleming Museum. The touring exhibition, “Rembrandt and the A n o f Etching,” has already been seen by perhaps a million viewers in South America, but Burlington is its only North American stop.

Afterwards the works will return to the place where most were created: Rembrandts own home, now the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam. The exhibition offers Vermonters an exclusive opportunity to see many o f the 17th-century Dutch masters most important works.

Reached by phone in Boston last week, Rembrandt House curator Dr. Bob van den Boogert was asked, “Why Burlington?” his answer was simple: Janie Cohen. The Fleming Museum director is the co-author o f Etched on the Memory — The Presence o f Rembrandt in the Prints o f Goya and Picasso, and much o f her research was done in Amsterdam. Cohen has also contributed writings to the Rembrandt House. So bringing this historic collection o f etchings to Burlington was a natural choice for her Dutch colleague. Van den Boogert will give a talk on Rembrandt at the Fleming this Thursday.

The exhibition comprises a wide range o f subjects, including at least eight self-portraits. In the earliest, Rembrandt was in his twenties. The best-known is probably “Self Portrait, Leaning on a Stone Sill” from 1639. At 33, Rembrandt appears an almost foppish young man, as cocky as D ’Artagnan from The Three Musketeers. But that’s an external view. The artist’s inner world is what makes the show so intriguing, and the medium o f etch­ ing provides the perfect platform for viewing it.

Rembrandt sold thousands o f copies o f etchings in his lifetime, and was probably better known for those works than for his paintings. His technical bag o f tricks was sec­ ond to none, and that virtuosity enabled him to exercise the frill range o f his expressive powers.

Insight into Rembrandt’s creative process can been seen in the two states o f “The Three Crosses” presented in this exhibition. Figures have been added and removed between the two states, both created on the same copper plate. He also altered his composition by manipulating light and shadow. Another religious print, “Christ Healing the Sick” from about 1649, illustrates two technical steps in the etch­ ing process. A slick ground was applied to the plate, and that ground was drawn through in a very direct way. When etched, the exposed metal created relatively soft lines to be

GALLERY OPENING: Local and regional artisans display paintings, prints,

inked. Then Rembrandt cleaned and dried the plate before scratching contrasting lines directly into the metal to add finer details to areas such as hands, toes and clothing.

“Christ Healing the Sick” is arguably Rembrandt’s most famous etching, and it. figures prominently in the artist’s lore. It is also known as “the Hundred Guilder Print,” and several explanations have been proffered for that curious moniker. In 1755 a French art dealer said that Rembrandt traded an impression o f it for an Italian print worth 100 guilders. Another unlikely story is that Rembrandt repur­ chased a copy o f the print for that exorbitant sum. Recent scholarship has unearthed a 1654 letter to the bishop of Bruges from a contemporary artist that Rembrandt’s prints had sold for 100 guilders on several occasions. That kind o f popularity made him a wealthy man, at least for awhile.

“The Shell (Cornus Marmoreus)” o f 1650 suggests one reason Rembrandt went bankrupt in 1658. Van den Boogert explains that something as exotic as a Cornus Marmoreus shell would have cost “the price o f a house” in Amsterdam. It was practically a 17th-century moon rock, and “The Shell” — Rembrandt’s only etching still life — was drawn from a specimen in his extensive collection o f baubles and fine art. He had also gotten into the almostunheard-of habit o f creating prints for his own enjoyment rather than specifically for sale. “The Shell” and “The Hundred Guilder Print” may have been such works.

Every piece in this exhibition is notable, but one o f the most fascinating is the 1652 print called “Faust” in most sources. Goethe popularized the story o f Dr. Faustus 150 years after Rembrandt’s death, so, as van den Boogert sug­ gests, that identification is “not undisputed.” The alterna­ tive title, “Practicing Alchemist,” is probably more accurate.

Either way, the print may indicate that Rembrandt had an interest in Jewish mysticism. His opulent “Great Jewish Bride” print o f 1635 appeared one year after his own mar­ riage, and many o f his closest friends and patrons were Jews. Rembrandt and his wife Saskia also lived in Amsterdam’s vibrant Jewish quarter.

Only one print, a commissioned portrait, is known to have been produced between 1660 and the artist’s death in October 1669. Like many o f his late works, the self-por­ traits o f his final years were moody and introspective. This can be seen in his self-portrait from age 42, in which the artist holds an etching needle to assiduously trace his own aging features. He is wearing plainer clothes than in younger years, and sits in a dark room with only one light source — an open window to his right. That Rembrandt is the man who became immortal. ®

In to le ra b le C ru e lty

crafted one of the year's most talked-about movies, a marvelously imaginative look at the life, work and unique worldview of Cleveland comic-book artist Harvey Pekar.

BROTHERLY LO VE

The Coens offer a twisted take on the battle between the sexes.

s they made clear with The Hudsucker Proxy, Joel and Ethan Coen have a thing for the stylish, rapid-fire screw­ ball comedies o f the ’30s and ’40s. As reflected by the film’s reception, it’s fair to say the rest o f the planet was cautious not to encourage that partic­ ular enthusiasm. Nonetheless, the fra­ ternal filmmakers have returned to the genre with their enthusiasm undimin­ ished. Its doubtful the same will prove true for the audience’s.

George Clooney gamely tries to enliven a thinly written affair by deliv­ ering a variously suave and antic per­ formance in the role o f a legendary divorce attorney. He’s wealthy, hand­ some, universally feared and bored silly. Caught in the grip o f a poorly defined crisis — existential, profes­ sional or merely midlife — he sleep­ walks through his days, deviously guarding the fortunes o f philandering husbands from deserving wives and bilking cuckolded spouses on behalf o f greedy, unfaithful ones.

The vacancy in his heart is sudden­ ly filled almost to the point o f burst­ ing when Catherine Zeta-Jones walks into his office one day. The soon-to-be ex-wife o f a client, she’s everything Clooney thinks he needs to give his life meaning. She’s smart, tough and radiantly beautiful. Unfortunately, as

Clooney proves in court, she’s also a gold digger, a woman who thinks nothing o f marrying a man for the purpose o f divorcing him and walking away with half his worldly goods.

When Clooney prevents Zeta-Jones from seeing a single red cent in settle­ ment, his command o f the law does not endear him to her. It does, howev­ er, set in motion a chain o f events, complete with a requisite third-act twist. The Coens presumably think viewers will find this darkly comic and novel, yet reminiscent o f Sturges, Hawks and Wilder. Audiences are like­ ly to find it periodically dull and forced.

Clooney’s character, for example, is only a couple o f rungs up the evolu­ tionary ladder from a stick figure.

Inexplicably, his comportment is lead­ ing-man smooth one minute and cartoonish the next. (There’s at least as much Jim Carrey as Cary Grant to this performance.) A running joke concerning the character’s fixation with his pearly white teeth is estab­ lished but then abruptly abandoned.

Toward the end o f the film, he reveals criminal proclivities not even hinted at earlier in the picture.

Zeta-Jones likewise finds herself grappling with a deficit o f character development. A serial divorcee, she’s

easy on the eyes but hard to figure.

What are the Coens going for here?

Are we really expected to find a soul­ less fortune-chaser sympathetic or interesting? In the brothers’ best films, even minor characters are fleshed out more fully and imaginatively than are the central ones here.

The story is similarly slapdash, which might explain why the script sat on a shelf for eight years. Early on, the prospect o f Clooney and ZetaJones making a love connection has appeal, but by the movie’s halfway point, both have strayed so far into goofball territory that any sizzle has been sapped by the silliness. The film comes to hilarious life briefly when Billy Bob Thornton enters the picture as a clueless oil baron duped by ZetaJones, and Geoffrey Rush is a riot as a ponytailed T V producer taken to the cleaners by Clooney. Otherwise, this is a decidedly hit-or-miss deal that, despite the current outpouring o f crit­ ical praise, is destined to rank among the Coens’ least memorable achieve­ ments.

With one-of-a-kind classics like Raising Arizona, Barton Fink and Fargo to their credit, the two would be wise to put aside their obsession with screwball comedy’s heyday and take a cue from their own golden age. ®

Starring Paul Giamatti, Hope Davis and Pekar himself. (R)

DIRTY PRETTY T H I N G S * * * 1/2 The latest from Stephen Frears is an atmospheric thriller set in a mysterious West London hotel, where a young man and a chamber­ maid make a shocking discovery late one night. Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Audrey Tautou. (R)

Andrew Stanton directs. (G)

ometimes even a remarkable real-life story and stellar performances do not add up to a film that can galvanize an audi­ ence. ^V eron ica G u erin — which opens this weekend at The Roxy in Burlington — is based on actual events in Ireland during the mid-1990s. The premise involves a crusading reporter who exposes the ruthless drug lords intent on pushing heroin in Dublin’s working-class neigh­ borhoods. That would seem to be a natu­ ral for the big screen.

How could anyone mess it up? Just watch. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, best known for mindless action-adventures such as Armageddon, and director Joel Schumacher, a veteran o f two Batman movies, try to turn this European tale into an American blockbuster. The script, by Carol Doyle and Mary Agnes

Aromatic Apothecary

Traymor (Ciaran Hinds) is a crooked and double-crossing informer who likes to see his name in print. Seasoned actor Gerard McSorley gives Gilligan, an enigmatic underworld boss, a ghastly streak o f viciousness. The filmmakers reveal Guerin’s murder at the outset, so this review is not a spoiler: She is assassinated.

Cue the heavenly angels. Cue Blanchett’s ethereal Lord o f the Rings elf queen. With a Celtic dirge on the sound­ track, the Emerald Isle mourns and Guerin appears to qualify for instant sainthood. Someone who dies so tragical­ ly surely doesn’t deserve such overkill.

Donoghue, squeezes every last drop o f sentimentality from an already heart­ rending saga. Worse yet, these Holly­ wood carpetbaggers don’t just telegraph the ending, they instant-message the damn thing in the very first scene.

Nevertheless, it’s still worth the ticket price to witness the luminous Cate Blanchett portraying the title character with a spot-on brogue. Guerin covers the crime beat for a major newspaper. When she sees discarded hypodermic needles littering the streets where children play, her nose for news leads to an unrelenting investigation into who’s selling smack to the city’s junkies.

Guerin has a loving family that includes a husband, young son and mother (Brenda Fricker). There’s a lot at stake as the thugs she’s after grow more and more violent. Yet the journalist is undeterred, even in the face o f terrible threats and actual attacks.

Apart from the quest for a good scoop, the narrative never quite explains what motivates Guerin to take increas­ ingly foolish risks. It’s a bit reminiscent o f slasher movies, in which victims inevitably decide to go their separate ways despite the obvious safety in num­ bers. This picture is much more intelli­ gent, o f course, but the protagonist also seems inexplicably naive.

Her digging unearths the dirty deeds o f a few fabulously complex villains.

which enjoyed a recent run in Burlington, brings together exchange students from various lands to share a Barcelona apart­ ment. In the amnesia genre, Aki Kaurismaki’s The M an W ithout a P a s t — also on tap this week at the Queen City’s Vermont International Film Festival — would probably make a fine double­ bill with Memento.

M an on th e T rain , featuring French icons Jean Rochefort and Johnny Hallyday, concerns a schoolteacher and a bank robber who might like to trade places.

Javier Bardem has the lead role in M o n d ay s in th e S u n , about a group o f unemployed friends who find unortho­ dox ways to earn a living.

The H e a rt o f M e presents a mid20th-century romantic triangle, with Helena Bonham Carter playing a woman who falls for her sister’s husband. The sur­ real tragicomedy D ivin e In te rv e n tio n . explores the awful deadlock o f the'Middle East with minimalist irony.

C uckoo, an antiwar fable, shows the absurdity that’s possible when three peo­ ple from different cultures try to co-exist bn a remote Finnish reindeer farm in J9 4 4 . Director Chen Kaige treks to modern-day Beijing for T o g eth er, the story o f a father and his violin-wunderkind son struggling with the perils o f potential success.

"Leahy’s sound is big, fast, and exuberant, punctuated by fierce hailstorms of solo and group step-dancing." (Rhythm) Tuesday, October 21 at 7:30 pm Steeped in a family legacy of music-making, the Leahy clan has shared its mix of traditional song and explosive step dancing with audiences worldwide. Known for their unique sound and high energy performances that “make Riverdance look like Lawrence Welk re-runs" (Time Out New York), this exceptional nine-member group quickly gained widespread popularity after a two-year international tour with Shania Twain.

Now Canada's premier exponents of Celtic-flavored pop and folk-rock, Leahy brings an exciting evening of spirited music and dance that’s fit for all ages!

FRIDAY 17

FOOL PLAY Basketball isn't all fun and games. Unless you're a Harlem Wizard. The pro entertainm ent team has been performing trick hoops and alley oops across the U.S. and in China, Israel and Western Europe for four decades.

Besides flamboyant free-throws, the team is known for its serious skill. NBA legends Connie Hawkins and Nate "Tiny" Archibald even got their start shooting with the Wizards. Now boasting bailers with names like Alvin "Anti-Gravity" Pierce and Dave "The Human Playground" Ladson, the 20 -person team takes on the St. Michael's College All-Stars. It's hard to say whether the St. Mike's faculty, student and alumni players w ill be able to match the Wizards' acrobatic antics and star-quality shooting, but it's likely to be one slammin' show.

remaining seat like a tardy student trying to hide. In fact the meeting room was once part of Spaulding High School. The Vermont History Center bought the building from Barre for a dollar in 2000 and is now transforming the sturdy 19th-century school into a state-of-the-art history-of-the-state museum. The former classroom where Director Kevin Graffagnino gave his lecture retains the original blackboards and the chestnut wainscoting.

High school history teachers could( learn a few things from Graffagnino; his "history talk" was surprisingly entertaining. "Ira Allen is a hard founding father to love," he told the 50 or so mostly retirees who gathered to learn about Ethan's little brother. Ethan was known for his strength, said Graffagnino. "If you're a Tory or a Yorker, a raid

by Ethan's Green Mountain Boys is like Hell's Angels descending on Calais."

But while Ira was smaller and weaker, he was a more skilled politi­ cian and ambassador, and a shrewd businessman. A rapacious land speculator, Ira entered state government in 17 7 7 , filling the Treasurer's

post as well as^hat of Surveyor General, which Graffagnino compared to "putting a fox in charge of the hen house." He claimed Ira once rescheduled a land auction for midnight to avoid being out-bid by his rivals. Graffagnino suggested it went something like this: '"Who will bid five shillings?' asked the sheriff. 'Sold, to the short man with the lantern!'"

Graffagnino also spoke about Ira's role in establishing the University of Vermont. Several towns pledged up to 400 pounds to snag the school; Ira pledged,4000 to build it in Burlington, but he never paid. Ira suffered a series of financial difficulties in the 1790s and spent a few years in jail. Both England and France locked him up for plotting a democratic revolution in Canada. When he returned to the States, his "empire" was in ruins. He died penniless in 1862 in Philadelphia.

Graffagnino, who grew up in Vermont, clearly enjoys delving into the state's colorful past. "Whether Ira is watching you from up there or down there," he said, "he's going to enjoy the attention."

B ILL PORTER: The world-renowned translator

Today, language and culture know no boundaries, geographic or artistic.

Contributing to the cross-cultural milieu is Mexican theater company Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes, or Certain Inhabitants Theater. The company's latest project is a benshi-style adaptation of the 1 9 19 Mexican film classic, El Autom ovil Gris.

Accompanied by a live pianist, two actors and a narrator give voice to more than 50 silent cinema stars on the screen above them. Using traditional 20th-century Japanese narrative techniques, the actors rely on their wide vocal range, pitch, accent and timing to tell the true story of a band of thieves who terrified Mexico City during the Revolution. Director Claudio Valdes Kuri proves "you don't have to put modern things in a production to make it modern."

FAMILY FOOTWORK The nine Leahy children could have started their own baseball team, but with an Irish fiddle-playing father and a Cape Breton foot-shuffling mama, the more natural route was to dig into their roots. Growing up on a Lakefield, Ontario, farm w ithout enough fiddles or pianos to go around, t h e siblings had to compete for playing time. Their patience and practice have paid off. The award-winning ensemble has impressed even country songstress Shania Twain, who invited them to tour with her. The group's Celtic-flavored pop and folk-rock are matched by their flying footwork, which Time Out New York says "makes Riverdance look like Lawrence Welk reruns."

He bites me when I try to pet him, and the rest of the time he just squirms around, hissing and throwing up stinky yellow gunk.

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

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): This

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

mostly by the urge to impress people.

You can keep all your well-earned rewards, dear Gemini, if you’ll start setting graceful new limits now.

may sound crazy, but the best way to attract good luck in the coming week is to experiment with doing the opposite o f what you usually do. For instance, you could act as if limitations are fantas­ tic opportunities. Instead o f indulging your impulses, you^can question them — lightheartedly, o f course. Rather than leading everyone into interesting temp­ tation with your fiery enthusiasm, you could be a meditative follower who lis­ tens well and tries out other peoples daring plans. Any other ideas?

“The fox knows many things,” said the ancient Greek poet Archilochus, “but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”

Twentieth-century philosopher Isaiah Berlin used this thought as an organiz­ ing principle in discussing types o f writers. Hedgehogs like Dante and Plato yearned to explain life’s apparent chaos with a single, all-embracing the­ ory, Berlin believed, whereas foxes like Shakespeare preferred to revel in the world’s messy multiplicity without feel­ ing a need to unify it all in one system.

My long experience with astrological types has convinced me that most Virgos tend to be foxes. In the coming days, however, I advise you to try out the hedgehog perspective. It’ll ensure you don’t miss the forest for the trees.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Most practitioners o f the healing arts believe in taking a gradual approach.

Psychotherapists and acupuncturists, for example, typically see their clients once a week, theorizing that even deep-seated problems have to be undone slowly and gently. Some mav­ ericks take a more radical approach, however. O ne acupuncturist I know has her clients come and stay at her clinic for six consecutive days, during which time she administers a fresh treatment every two hours. Thjs is the kind o f approach I recommend for you right now, Cancerian. You’re on the verge o f curing a certain longstanding imbalance, and intense, concentrated attention is the best way to do it.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): The next couple o f weeks will be an excellent time to purge any nagging karma that has been haunting your love life. You’ll be ready to move on to new romantic frontiers once you clear away the residue that has been subtly burden­ ing you. To achieve the proper spirit o f rowdy fierceness, I suggest you learn the following country music songs and belt them out now and then: “You Done Tore O ut My Heart and Stomped That Sucker Flat,” “Get Your Tongue O ut o f My Mouth, I’m Kissing You Goodbye,” “H ow Can I Miss You If You Won’t Go Away?,” “I Wouldn’t Take You to a Dawg Fight, Cause I’m Afraid You’d W in,” “I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well,” and “I Flushed You From the Toilets o f My Heart.”

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Where exactly does happiness come from?” ask David Meyers and Ed Diener in their article, “The Science o f Happiness,” published in The Futurist magazine. Do you experience happiness primarily through being a good person or contemplating the meaning o f life? From indulging in pleasure or knowing the truth? From preserving comfy illusions or purging yourself o f pent-up rage and sad­ ness? All o f the above? Let these questions be the starting point for your own medi­ tations on the subject, Libra It’s a perfect moment to get very serious about defin­ ing what brings you joy and making con­ crete plans to harvest more o f it.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): I shopped at a local supermarket for months before striking up a conversation with Wendy, one o f the checkout clerks. “H ow was your weekend?” I asked her one Monday. “I worked at my two other jobs,” she said. I was surprised, having assumed her career consisted entirely o f tallying grocery purchases. “I’m a psy­ chotherapist at a group home for dis­ turbed teens,” she continued, “and I’m trying to finish my Ph.D. dissertation.” I blushed in embarrassment for having misread her so thoroughly. As she processed my order, we had an interest­ ing exchange about adolescent angst and politics o f psychotherapy. I suggest m ike Wepdy j^ur inspirational!" symbol this week, Leo. May she remind you to dig beneath the surface and uncover the deeper truth about every­ thing you think you have figured out.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Thi&isy©ttf official too-much-ofagood-thing warning. To protect and preserve the sweet progress you’ve enjoyed in recent weeks, make sure that abundance doesn’t tip over into grofe exdfejjf. Flow? %efuse to slave to your good ideas. D on’t let ^buf triumphs lead to exhaustion. Avoid expressions o f generosity that are wast­ ed on the recipients or motivated

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The science newsletter Mini-Annals o f Improbable Research did i poll o f its reader»pn the question, “Doe$ reality exist?” Forty-two percent answered yes, while 31 percent asserted that it most certainly does not. The remaining 27 percent were undecided. A few o f the

> > * ” -4!

latter believed that their reality exists but no one else’s does. Two people said, “Yes, reality exists, but you can’t get to it.”

According to one respondent, “Reality exists only when it is really necessary.”

Remember that line, Scorpio, because it will be quite necessary for your reality to exist in the coming weeks. Here’s anoth­ er response to the poll that you should make your own: “Reality especially exists right after a thunderstorm.” I predict that your reality will become vivid and deep once your metaphorical tempest ends in a few days.

SAGITTARIUS <nov.

22-Dec. 21): Fate is conspiring to suck you into an intensive behavioral modi­ fication program. The goal: to weed out the wishy-washy wishes and leech out the lukewarm longings that are keeping you distracted from your burning desires. Here’s the paradoxical formula that will be at the heart o f this process: If you try to maintain the illu­ sion that you’re not losing yourself, you will in fact lose yourself. But if you surrender and agree to lose yourself, you will break through to a new level o f communion with the deepest, most eternal part o f yourself.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): Nice guys finish last. So pro­ claimed the crusty old baseball player, Leo Durocher, who was famous last century for his rough play and dirty tricks. His once-wicked insinuation has, 50 years later, devolved into a decadent platitude. It needs an update. As you enter a phase when it will make sense to become more strategic, Capricorn, # tr y on the following formulas for size: Nice guys finish last because they fol­ low all the rules by rote. Nasty guys often don’t even finish because they break the rules by rote. Smart guys and

riot grrrls win because they get away with inventing new rules that update the meaning o f the ever-evolving game.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Would you consider acquiring a three-foot-long, double-edged sword like the one Beowulf wielded in his famous battle with the monster many centuries ago? A blade resembling King Arthur’s Excalibur would be fine, too, as would one modeled after Glandring, which belonged to the wizard Gandalf in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord o f the Rings.

You won’t need this weapon to defend yourself from physical attack in the coming days, Aquarius; that’s not why I recommend it. Rather, I suggest you use it as a magical prop in a ritual designed to rouse your warrior spirit.

Hold it in front o f you as you visualize yourself scaring off your inner demons and cutting away the inessential con­ cerns that are bogging you down.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): This may be the time your descendants will tell stories about: the turning point when you outwit an old nemesis and undo an ancient knot, freeing you to finally begin fulfilling your life pur­ pose in earnest. On the other hand, this may be the moment when you shrink back from a challenge similar to one that many generations o f your family members have faced. If that’s what happens, your descendants will be lacking an important clue when they encounter their own version o f the ancestral puzzle many years from now. W hich will it be, Pisces?

GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL WORLD

Truck-o-rama ith the autumn harvest of a new crop of full-size pickups, its an ideal time to evaluate the 2004s from the Big Three. Here are the ground rules for the bumper-to-bumper compare that follows: Each model is a four-door, six-seater, each sports a base V8, a rear-wheel-drive powertrain and a short-bed cargo box; each represents a mid-market trim level that is neither the cheapest nor the spiffiest available.

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Chevrolet’s handsome pickup is little changed for 2004. Key numbers, however, need emphasizing, such as the 285 hp and 295 ft.-lbs. from the Silverados 4.8-liter V8. Chevy’s horsepower is best of the trio, but Dodge edges by in torque, whereas Ford owns the best tow rating (Ford: 9,500 lbs.; Chevy: 8,700 lbs.; Dodge: 8,350 lbs.). These are important distinctions, because a pickup’s workethic depends primarily upon torque.

Silverado’s wheelbase is the second longest o f the group, and its turning radius is the largest. The length helps with comfort at cruising speeds — it’s perennially my favorite pickup for highway driving.

Parking the beast is often a challenge, however, as ; the turning dimension suggests.

Despite its pushrod motor, Chevy’s "Vortec" V8 gets best mileage with its 16 mpg/City, 21 mpg/ Highway ratings — the only V8 here to break into the 20s. While there are anti-lock disc brakes at all four corners, the wheels are only 16-inchers, so deduct a few style points. Overall, though, Silverado is a comfy, competent worker with clean lines and a homey interior.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT As noted, Ram’s 300 ft.-lbs. of torque leads the present class (although the 4.7-liter V8 produces just 240 hp). Its tow rating is the caboose, yet its payload rank is best (Dodge: 1,740 lbs.; Chevy: 1,645 lbs.; Ford: 1,530 lbs.).

There are quirks beneath the brawny, bulging sheetmetal. Ram sports four-wheel disc brakes, but only the rear ones get anti-lock. Pricing is also askew. The $29,800 tab is the most expensive of the

three, but it includes a standard five-speed manual transmission; whereas the Ford ($28,745) and the Chevy ($29,630) toss in four-speed automatics as standard.

Ram features the shortest wheelbase and the best turning circle. Overall, though, its ride is the harsh­ est here. Its interior, too, is hardest to love. I appre­ ciate the big box o f a center console armrest that can swallow an entire laptop; but the plastics and fabrics used throughout are uninspiring.

T he Ram amuses me, and it’s not afraid to work; but it remains an underdog with a whip­ per-snapper attitude.

every Ford showroom in America.

The new F I50 is taller, stronger ahd heavier than before. It weighs the most of this trio (Ford: 5*1<15 lbs.; Dodge: 4,906 lbs.; Chevy 4,555 lbs.). It’s got ' stylish 17-in. wheels and the longest wheelbase and overall length. Its turning radius is only minimally tighter than Silverado’s, but refinements like out­ board rear shocks and a redesigned front indepen­ dent suspension deliver superb, even sporty ride quality.

Ford’s 4.6-liter V8 boasts single-overhead-cam architecture and an electronic throtde. It’s snappy and responsive, even though posting the smallest power and torque numbers in this trio (231 hp and 293 ft.-lbs.). Fuel efficiency, however, is sadly unin­ spiring at 15 mpg/City, 19 mpg/Highway.

The interior is magnificent, with sweeping con­ soles and gleaming accents. There’s an overhead "gadget rail" for installing different accessories. But it’s the least truckish interior I’ve ever seen, so I’m curious about public acceptance.

I’ve got a soft spot for Ford and a prurient inter­ est in watching a bare-knuckle, three-way brawl.

The dramatic reinvention o f the FI 50 is poised to gratify the former and satisfy the latter. ®

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My email is clogged with Spam hawking Viagra for women. I know my sex life could use a lift. Is this product legit or just another rip-off?

Flagging in Fair Haven Dear Flagging, There are lots of products out there advertising themselves as the female equivalent of Viagra. Before buying or trying any of them, I would definitely recommend that you consult someone even more qualified than Lola about the specific product you're considering.

As for Viagra itself, according to a story aired on ABC News, a study of post-menopausal or post-hysterectomy women who reported having trouble getting it up for sex showed that pop­ ping the little blue pill did improve their arousal, lubrication and orgasm. Scientists conclude that pumping more blood into the pudenda makes a gal feel all warm and tingly and full: ' key ingredients for upping sensual satisfaction.

In the ABC report, researcher Jennifer Berman cautioned that women with significant emotional, relationship or sexual issues "might not be the best candidates" for the med that props up Bob Dole's pole.

Love, Lola
