Vermont College. Better than ever. rVv onr mmjri-tKcb: On October 1, it became official. Vermont College became part of The Union Institute. As the President of The Union Institute, I want to take this time to say thank you to all who welcomed us into this great state. By joining Vermont College and The Union Institute, w e have created a new institution, one with global reach and concerns, but one, as well, anchored deeply into the communities it serves. We have created a comprehensive, progressive University with programs from the B.A. to the M.A. to the Ph.D., all designed with the needs of busy adults in mind. Vermont is famous for its beautiful landscape, its valleys, hills, rivers and mountains. And Vermont is famous for the independence of its citizens, and its belief in the importance of community. The Union Institute and Vermont College share those values. We ask our learners to embrace their independent spirit, to define their own path, and honor their life experiences. In return, we provide an active and engaged learning community, some of the finest professors at any institution anywhere, and the support and encouragement to fully achieve personal and professional goals. As part of The Union Institute, Vermont College will offer the same prestigious undergraduate and graduate academic programs at its campus in Montpelier and its center in Brattleboro. Plans are already underway to begin offering the seminars and colloquia of The Union Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ph.D. programs at these two sites. Over the next several months, w e will be exploring new ways in which we can affirm our commitment to the state of Vermont and its people. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit us on the Web at www.tui.edu or to call us at 802-828-8500. We look forward to serving you.

Judith A. Sturnick, Ph.D. President, The Union Institute

SN O W B O A RD ERS SHARE A note to Flip Brown [“Bush League,” O ctober 3]: I have been snowboarding since the day of the Snurfer, I was a skier since I could walk — grew up in the M ad River Valley, worked for Burton from ’94-’00 .on their front lines, and I used to snow board at M ad River Glen before they got ultra/mega kookie. I assure you, I have never met a snowboarder w ith a small enough m ind that w ould w ant a “Snowboarder O nly” m ountain.

IN D EFEN SE O F SN O W M O BILIN G W hile your W inter Preview story on snowmobiling [“O n the VAST Track,” O ctober 3] was generally fair, it revealed a subtle bias against the activity shared by many writers, and repeats some discredited environmental claims that need to be rebutted... Here’s an example: Referring to VAST President Ron Bartemy, the story says he “claims” VAST has pushed for cleaner burning 4-cycle engines. T he word “claim” has a shading that casts doubt. But when quoting Sue Higby o f Forest W atch, the story uses the word “says,” as in she says VAST’s trails compromise natural habitat and disturb wildlife, implying she was more believable. Higby’s assertion is, in fact, a “claim” with no scientific basis, reflecting simply an under lying anti-m otorized bias. There is not one scientific study I have seen that backs up any harm to w ildlife...

Now, here’s the counter-intu itive kicker: O ne study conclud ed that there is, however, disrup tion and threat from backcountry ndrdic skiers, because they can silently wander anywhere in the woods and thus sneak up on and startle wildlife. M any snowmobilers, and especially groomers, can supply ample anecdotal evi dence of wildlife nonchalance at machines, with stories o f practi cally having to shove deer and moose off the snowmobile trails... Regarding forest or field com paction from snowmobile use, I have only seen one study on that, which concluded snowmobiles normally have a very light foot print and do not damage crop lands... Regarding snowmobile exhaust pollution: O utdated and discredited information contin ues to circulate as an argument against snowm obiling...

CANCELLATION NATION: Its hard enough to get people out of their root cellars and into the theater these days. Now artists — particularly interna tional acts — are failing to show up for their gigs. “I know presenters who’ve had five cancellations already,” the Flynn Centers Arnie Malina says of his colleagues around the country. He counts himself lucky to have had only one: Youssou N ’Dour canceled his U.S. tour due to “complexi ties in the current international situation which have overwhelmed all other considerations,” as the Senegalese singer phrased it in a prepared statement. Luckily, Benins beautiful Angelique Kidjo was waiting in the wings — in the U.S., not Dakar, Paris or Cotonou. Increasingly, the problem for arts presenters is not at the box office, but at the office of the Immigration and Naturalization Services. The Lane Series cut it too close petitioning paperwork for the English folk duo Andy Cutting and Chris Wood. Despite a last-ditch drive to St. Albans the day before the bomb scare, the show had to be canceled. “It used to be three months was plen ty of time time to get a visa. W hat I’ve heard is they are 60 to 90 days backed up,” says Lane Series General Manager Natalie Neueit. The Flynns Aimee Petrill ran into similar troubles with a Canadian theater company, which finally got approval less than 24 hours before they were supposed to travel. But she blames the delay not on anti-terrorist precau tions, but on a procedural change that predates September. Pricey “premi um” processing — the paperwork equivalent of flying first-class — has delayed all the “coach” applications. “Together,” she says, “it increases the challenges surrounding the presentation of international artists.” Neuert is worried about a November performance of the French ensemble Doulce Memoire, but assures “it should be all right.” Cutting and Wood have been rescheduled for late January, when another item can be added to the list of performance anxieties: snow. KILLING FIELD: If he hadn’t been fired from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company, Burlington writer Theo PadnoS might have never ended up teaching literature to incarcerated teens, befriending a kid killer and sell ing the book to Talk Miramax. The Middlebury grad “was desperate for anything” when he took a job at the Woodstock Regional Correctional Facility. “I’m in there trying to do something with the kids,” he explains, •'“sometimes in small teaching rooms with no guards present. I’ve heard about their crimes... when they are coming to terms with what they have done.” Among his “friends” is 18-year-old Laird Stanard, who shot his mom in an attempt to kill both parents. Padnos started documenting his experiences, and sent some samples to Middlebury author Ron Powers, who was hard at work on his own novel about adolescent homicides in his hometown of Hannibal, Missouri — Tom and Huck Don’t Live Here Anymore. Powers not only encouraged Padnos, but passed the project on to his own agent, who sold it in short order. The working title is, My Life Has Stood a Loaded Gun: Adolescents Approach the Apocalypse. “My theory is that these kids have become so unmoored from society, they are waiting for it to end,” says Padnos. “I feel the same way about the terrorists.” A LIT HIT: A story about Bread Loaf in last week’s New Yorker is likely to get a rise out of readers enamored with the woodsy writers’ workshop. Writer Rebecca Mead recaps the colorful “Bed Loaf” history — when “the triple compulsions” were still “getting published, getting drunk and getting laid” — but also acknowledges recent efforts to play down the old hierarchy and increase diversity. She never sounds wholly convinced, though — in particular, about the program as a preparation for the wannabe published. But the harshest comments come from Vivian Gornick, who led a nonfiction workshop at Bread Loaf last summer. “This place is the shocking culmination of all that is foolish and ill-con ceived in the writing programs,” she said. “The boosterism, the childish ness, the prolonged collegiate atmosphere. It’s like a fucking parody.” Ouch. IN BRIEF: Lights, camera, free popcorn. The Essex Outlet Cinema rolled out the red carpet — and four free films — at its official opening last Thursday night. Individual theaters accommodate between 130 to 300 film fans, with stadium seating and state-of-the-art surround sound. “Unfortunately, we didn’t have a PG or G-rated movie this week,” says General Manager Dale Chapman. “It’s a family market up here, so that’s what we want to work towards” . . . With the commercial success of Memento still fresh in his mind, movie mogul Merrill Jarvis is taking another first-run risk on Ghost World, from Crumb director Terry Zwigoff. Variety described it as an exploration of “the weird interstices between girlhood and adult life.” Starring Steve Buscemi and Thora Birch, the movie opens Friday at Ethan Allen Cinemas and at the Savoy Theatre in Montpelier . . . The Vermont Council on the Humanities hired the state’s most prominent lobbying firm — Kimbell, Sherman and Ellis — to “handle” the resignation and replacement of its one-and-only executive director. “We’re doing it all, from soup to nuts,” Kevin Ellis says of Victor Swenson, who has been with the council for 28 years (see story this issue). The national search closed in mid-October, and interviews began in earnest last weekend. It’ll be worth the investment if they manage to find someone to stay three more decades . . . ® .

W o rst?

By S usan Green gram o f anthrax — if you were to disperse .it... through ventila tion ducts o f a major building in the World Trade Towers or some thing like that — how many peo ple could that much anthrax kill?” A quickie quiz in an Osama bin Laden training camp? A page from Saddam Husseins diary? A line of dialogue in an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie? Nope. Senator Patrick Leahy posed that chilling question to government officials during a 1988 Judiciary Committee hear ing on high-tech terrorism.

“ A!

potential anthrax release at a New York newspaper, hijacking inci dents that cause the nation’s air ports to close for days or even weeks, and a Stinger missile that shoots down a 747 commuter flight coming into a major city. These ideas might once have seemed far-fetched to the average American. Today, similar situations flash across our TV screens on a daily basis; they have gone from being theoretical topics to breaking news. If he was looking for evidence of preparedness, Leahy got a few facile non-answers from the “experts” providing him with testi-

vet in the country, I will tell you that,” Revell said —- a response that now conjures up images of Dr. Dolittle trying to bat tle the Ebola virus. “We hope that between our law enforcement, intelligence and other organizations, we would catch the terrorists before they even get into our borders,” Leahy commented at one point. “But I think we have to be frank to say that there probably are no solutions, or there are only par tial solutions to some of these threats.” Again, how right he was. Once such a threat blindsides us, as it did on September 11, the response mech anism kicks into high gear. We now have intense security-at airports, the rounding-up of suspects and Operation Enduring Freedom. But when it comes to biological attacks, our resources are as strained as our knowledge is limit ed. But at least Anthrax is not con tagious. Unfort unately, far worse pathogens exist. Should some thing infectious like smallpox rear its ugly head, a recent Associated Press story suggested the nation faces “a lack of hospital beds, decontamination units, antibiotics, testing labs and comprehensive coordination among nurses, doc tors, emergency crews and govern ment officials.” This dilemma is all the more perplexing in light of the military’s

In an exchange about anthrax, the senator told Oliver Revell o f the FBI: “I am trying to point out that you do not have to go to some sophisticated, almost James Bond or major military-type facility” to get information on bio logical weapons. “You are really talking about a fairly open agricul tural research center.” “We would look for the best

self-described effort during the last 50 years to “assess and resolve problems relating to preparedness against potential covert attack” on the general population. Fueled by cold-war paranoia about possible enemy germ-warfare missions, the U.S. Army launched clandestine “open-air civilian vulnerability test ing” in the late 1940s to mimic the delivery of more lethal microor ganisms. More than 200 of these experiments in at least 28 states from coast to coast turned millions of unsuspecting Americans into involuntary human guinea pigs.

ccording to heavily cen sored documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act in the same year as the hearings, agents from what was then the U.S. Army Biological Laboratories were deployed in May 1965. Dressed as tourists and car rying suitcases fitted with aerosol devices, they sprayed supposedly harmless bacteria — known as “simulants” — on passengers at Washington National Airport and the D.C. Greyhound Bus Terminal, while colleagues took photographs of these stealthy deeds in progress. A year later, Army personnel spent four days in New York City surreptitiously dropping light bulbs full of Bacillus subtillis, as that particular simulant is called, onto sidewalk subway grates. The glass shattered, and bacteria rained down on oblivious rush-hour pas sengers below. Agents with “sam pler boxes” at stations between 14th and 58th streets measured how well the germs had traveled as commuters exited the trains. The premise was to track the airborne bacteria and calculate the number of people who might be afflicted in

a genuine attack. Apart from the issue of informed con sent, the worst aspect of the civilian vulnera bility program was its lack of any public health oversight. “While the Army was measuring air currents and survivability of the bacteria, no precautions were taken to protect the health and welfare of the mil lions of people exposed,” Rutgers University political science profes sor Leonard Cole wrote in his 1988 book on the subject, Clouds o f Secrecy. “The Army concedes that it never monitored any of the people who were tested,” Cole added dur ing a 1995 telephone interview from his New Jersey home. In September 1950, a ship trawling the California coastline sprayed San Francisco with a more insidious simulant, Serratia marcesens. During the next few months, 11 patients at the Stanford University Hospital came down with a rare heart infection caused by the germ; one elderly man died in this outbreak. Unwitting sol diers at Fort McClellan in Alabama were targeted with Serratia in 1952, and the normal number of pneumonia cases on the base more than doubled. Similar spraying around that time in Key West was followed by a tenfold increase in pneumonia cases and a sevenfold increase in pneumonia deaths. The disease also flared after a 1953 spraying in Panama City, Florida. More than two decades later, the Army finally acknowledged in a report on the testing operations that Serratia marcesens was indeed an opportunistic micro-organism that could be dangerous for anyone “exposed to large doses and/or when the body defenses are weak ened by age, debilitating disease, drug abuse or antibiotics.” Richard Nixon suspended the tests in 1969 when he unilaterally renounced the use of biological weapons. Three years after that, the U.S. signed the international

Biological Weapons Convention prohibiting the development or possession of germs for military uses other than vaccines, detectors and protective hardware. Much of the information about the Army spraying spree came out at 1977 hearings held by Senator Ted Kennedy. By then, military brass had already reserved the right to resume the practice, citing “a recognition of the need to contin ue many aspects of the [biological warfare] defensive program to include the resolution of problems relating to U.S. preparedness against covert attack on the civilian population.” Many observers believe the tests were resumed during the Reagan administration, which increased the funding for germ warfare experiments by 500 per cent — at a cost of more than $90 million a year. During that time, the Commerce Department also approved the export of weaponsgrade anthrax and four other dead ly viruses to Iraq. In 1989, the shipments in question were sent by the American Type Culture Collection, a Maryland scientific supply com pany,^© the University of Baghdad. W hen fear of Iraqi biowarfare capability surfaced dur ing Operation Desert Storm in 1991, it might have provided as good an excuse as any to spritz the American populace with more simulants. “Throughout the ’80s, there were government advi sories that said the Army should resume tests in ‘realistic settings,’” Cole explained in the 1995 inter view.

few years after the G ulf War, Gerry Silverstein, a lecturer in the University of Vermont’s department of micro biology and molecular genetics, suggested in a local newspaper arti cle, “I am always frightened by some of the things the military does, but we need a contingency plan for genuine germ warfare. I’m just as frightened by some of the crazies out there as I am by the military. So, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” But is it really a yin-yang proposition? The contingency plan seems rather vague, even after decades of blitzkrieging countless citizens with presumably safe bac teria. Leonard Cole o f Rutgers wrote in a 1985 Washington Monthly arti cle that the government clearly should develop defenses against biological attack, “but the need for adequate protection does not justi fy spraying germs on unknowing people.” His other chief complaint was that elected officials tend to demonstrate a profound ignorance about this abuse o f democracy. “Were the Army to decide to start spraying people with germs again,

few on Capitol Hill would have enough information to put up much of a fight. And the rest of us might not hear about it until it’s all over... [They] did it once before, and with a seeming enthusiasm for trench coat-style deception.” Right now, Capitol Hill itself is too busy escaping from anthrax to put up much of a fight on another puzzling matter: Why is “prepared ness,” the familiar rallying cry for forcing civilians and soldiers into a national-sacrifice crucible, still so elusive?

admirable legacy joined forces with sturdy Scandinavian roots that helped shape his father, the son of Swedish immigrants who landed in the Midwest.

to the creation of a fully literate society, in which discussion of public affairs and appreciation of diverse cultural heritages can flour ish.

“We wanted to entertain and educate and stimulate people,” Swenson says, referring to the non profit agency’s formative years. “But we wanted it to add up to something. The purpose is to change human beings, and that can lead to the possibility of a changed society. So we decided we were going to push this to see how far it would go.” It went from one picnic table and a folding chair at a shared Hyde Park building in 1974 — when the budget was only $140,000 — to the current coun cil office in a graceful two-story Victorian on a tree-lined Morrisville street. There, 11 full time staff members manage read ing programs, conferences, book discussions and a speakers bureau with a touring register of about 80 people able to offer presentations or performances. “Last year, we supported 2900 events for 175 communities in all 14 counties of Vermont,” Swenson notes. It’s an operation in which out reach is taken seriously. The scope is as grand as a 1988 conference in which scholars examined the 400th anniversary of the Spanish Armada’s sailing; as modest as the work of Anita Gagner, a “home visitor” in Eden who brings books as a gift to welcome every baby born in that tiny Lamoille County hamlet. Swenson — who lives in near by Johnson with his second wife, literature professor Judith Yarnall — has cherished memories of reading to his two daughters when they were young. Zoe, now 38, is a fundraiser in England; Saskia, 32, studies at a yeshiva in Jerusalem. Their mother, Sarah Belchetz, is a painter in Massachusetts.

ong before his own marriage and fatherhood, Swenson was one of four siblings in a bustling household where his par ents, an oil company chemist and a homemaker, provided the ameni ties of small-town life in the late 1930s and 1940s. As a student, he excelled on the debate team and in the band as a virtuoso on baritone horn, a.k.a. euphonium. “If you’re looking for a football player, you’ve come to the wrong place,” he quips. After graduating high school, Swenson began a gradual eastward momentum. He got a history degree at Oberlin College in Ohio, then went to D.C. for a Master’s in the same subject at George Washington University, and a Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. “I lived in Istanbul for a year, from 1963 to 1964, doing a dissertation on the Young Turk Revolution of 1908,” he says. Swenson’s interest in all things Turkish, inspired by a professor who had been raised there, culmi nated with a specialization in Middle Eastern studies and a par ticular concentration on the Ottoman Empire. In 1965, he par layed his familiarity with Turkey into courses he offered while teaching at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. By then married with one child, Swenson gave up that job to accept a one-year assignment at his

alma mater, Oberlin, in 1969 and 1970. W hen it was time to move on, Vermont beckoned. “I had always wanted to come here. We arrived in June 1970, when the lilacs were in full bloom. I thought, ‘Oh, my.’” His destination was Johnson, where he had accepted a position in the history department at the state college. Swenson enjoyed aca demic life over the next few years, and spread his wings by serving as president of both the faculty senate and the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors. The latter opportunity “gave me a horizon beyond Johnson,” he explains. But Swenson’s greatest satisfac tion came as founding president of the Johnson Friends of the Arts, which was formed to bring music, dance and theatrical talent to the newly opened Dibden Auditorium on campus. “We had a performing arts series that booked local people and world-class acts, such as the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. I really enjoyed that. It made me want an even larger canvas.” Through the university profes sors association, he had gotten to know the provost of Vermont’s state college system, Robert Babcock, who was also a founder of the fledgling humanities coun cil. Swenson was invited to apply for the director’s slot. Some friends thought it would be a mistake to give up the cushy security of a col lege. “To me, it seemed like an exciting adventure,” he says of his decision to take the risk. “I had the good fortune to be in on the building of something new.” Although his administrative experience was not extensive, Swenson figured his teaching back ground could be helpful. “As a professor, I had a solid idea of what a good discussion was. I knew that whatever this program might do, it wouldn’t be boring. And I had high standards and an ability to talk to anybody — a broad swath of the human family. I wanted to introduce ordinary men and women, educated or not so educated, to stimulating activi ties,” he adds. “That was a pleasure for me, to bring to life something that would thrive. It was going to be a new kind of cultural initiative that hadn’t existed before.”

nitially dubbed the Vermont Council on the Humanities and Public Issues, the organization was adhering to the guidelines of the National Endowment for the Humanities. “We held a series of lectures that had to be both humanities and public issues. You couldn’t just do the nature of Zeus and The Odyssey, and it couldn’t just be on whether Winooski should build a sewage plant,” Swenson says. In 1986, the name was offi cially shortened, but the council had already been designing pro grams with more depth and com plexity. “The NEH thought public issues would draw big audiences; we found that humanities alone could do that,” according to Swenson.

We backed documen tary films, even an opera at one point. We got a sense o f what worked and what did not,” he recalls. The film-producing role was one of the things that did not work.

The Rutland Free Library was awarded a humanities grant to sponsor a program in which people were encouraged to read certain books and then discuss them in group settings. “It was a yearlong women-in-literature theme,” Swenson recalls. “They got about 100 participants at peak. The pro gram really proved itself.” The Chicago-based American Library Association admired the Vermont effort enough to apply for a national endowment grant to

from Swenson that delighted him. “He included a leaf full of fall col ors. It was a sign of an appreciation for the little things that.we shared. Victor is a voice for the nation. I cannot think of anybody I admire more. We’re all blessed to have him.” Last year, Ferris spent several days touring Vermont with Swenson a r^ Jim Jeffords — the senator is a longtime fan of the council’s outgoing director. “Victor has been a true visionary,” Jeffords suggests. “The literacy programs developed during his tenure have provided thousands of Vermonters with the opportunity to read. He recognized that literacy was the critical first step in broadening support and understanding for the humanities, and his efforts have paid off in very significant ways across the state.” The relationship with Swenson is also personal, according to Jeffords: “I’ve worked closely with Victor since my first term in the United States Congress, dating back to 1974. I met with him to discuss the importance of promot ing the humanities at both the state and national levels. We’ve remained good friends ever since that day. The council has distin guished itself as a national leader. That comes as no surprise, given that it has had such a steady hand at the helm for nearly three decades.” In the early years of that 28year span, the speakers bureau was launched, thanks to an idea that

originated with Andrea Rogers, executive director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts. At the time, she ran the Church Street Center, a continuing education facility that hired people with expertise in various fields to deliver thematic, and sometimes dramatic, presentations. “O ur thought was, ‘Let’s move ’em around the state,”’ Swenson says. Auditions — five-minute tryouts in Montpelier — are held every other year to fill the roster. The effectiveness of individual speakers and performers is gauged by the demand for their services. These days, Boston actressdirector Dorothy Mains Prince can appear as Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Thurston for $500. Hinesburg historian and teacher Lori Lee Wilson charges $250 for a talk on “Salem Witchcraft, Belief and Unbelief.” So does James Hogue of Marshfield for his “Cabaret Shakespeare: Bawdy, Boisterous Flashes of the Bard.” And for $350, Montpelier’s Sarah Payne dons a costume to portray either Virginia W oolf’s sister or Victoria Woodhull, who in 1872 was the first woman to run for President of the United States. The council subsidizes these bookings. “We pay up to $350, so it might be free to the venue or group. If it costs more than that, they can scrounge up the rest of the money somehow,” Swenson points out. The finances behind such

endeavors can be tricky, of course. The council’s fiscal year 2001 budg et encompasses $142,500 from the state, about $450,000 from the NEH, $510,000 that must be raised in grants and donations, with the rest attributed to income derived from special projects. “There have been hard times,” Swenson con cedes. “Reagan wanted to kill the National Endowment for the Arts

While this kind of festivity is nice, it does not distract Swenson from the tougher work in the trenches. “We don’t mind being nice,” he acknowledges, “but we want to be nice and crucial.” Less glamorous but essential to the council’s sense of purpose, in the mid-1980s a literacy campaign was crafted as a natural outgrowth of the ongoing book discussions.

Eric Carle, Tomie dePaola and Gary Soto, ot tomes on music by Pete Seeger, Leontyne Price and Chris Raschka. And there are Anita Gagner’s grassroots book visits with babies in Eden. “If a literate Vermont is our objective, then we ought to have a literate Eden, a lit erate Leicester, a literate Morrisville,” Swenson proclaims, his eyes shining with an almost mes-

— Victor Swen p m and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Then, in 1995, the NEH was cut by one-third and lost 65 staff members. That was because of Newt Gingrich’s Contract on America.”

t’s fitting, that this year’s human ities conferences is devoted to The Book of Job, a story about keeping faith against all odds. Former Yale University chaplain and noted 1960s peace activist Rev. William Sloane Coffin of Strafford will be on hand, along with other scholars and the Woodstock High School Speak Chorus, which recites rather than sings. Swenson men tions that 150 people have already signed up for the extravaganza.

“We had a vision pf Vermont in which everybody’s a reader,” Swenson says. “It was important to get beyond the formula of amusing some of the people some of the time. Our literacy program is one of the things I’m proudest of. In 1989, we made a commitment to full lit eracy by 2000. Now, we’ve kept the same goal but dropped the time frame.” Swenson sees reading as “an antidote to the cocooning of America, a way to enliven real com munal life in little towns and vil lages. We love this book, we think you’ll love it and your children will love it.” People with “fragile reading skills” might be urged to try the food-related works of authors like

Despite an obvious passion for this crusade, he will leave in three months to pursue freelance dreams: private consulting, grant writing, traveling and teaching a course on peace and war at Johnson. “It will be 28 years with the council on January 1st, and maybe my fuel tank is running on empty,” Swenson muses. “I wanted to have time to do other things. This thought never really occurred to me before this year. I’ve had the most delightful job anybody could possi bly have. If the purpose is to change people and society, you can see it happening faster in Vermont. The imagination has greater freedom here.” ®

ony Pagliuca answers the doorbell at his home on Blodgett Street. “W hat can I do for you guys?” he asks the group standing before him -r- a woman accompa nied by a young man and his guide dog. The question is what Chris Horan and Kate Renaud can do for Pagliuca. They are canvassing the block on behalf . of the Public Safety Project, a six-yearold neighborhood revitalization strate gy funded by the Old North End Enterprise Community initiative, a local lawenforcement block grant and the Burlington Com-munity and Economic Development Office, a.k.a. CEDO. As AmeriCorpsVISTA volunteers, the two organ izers work as part of a five-person team trying to nudge the Queen City toward a renewed sense of well-being and purpose. O n a drizzly autumn after noon, Renaud, a 24-year-old team leader from Jericho who has been with the program for two years, is giving pointers to Horan, who n began his one-year position in late

August. A 22-year-old native of upstate New York, the recent St. Michael’s grad has been blind most of his life. His exceedingly mellow guide dog Cooper is the perfect ice-breaker on a job that requires going, door-to-door. “We try to find out their con

Blodgett, Ward, Strong and Drew streets and, closer to downtown, the area around Buell, Bradley and Willard streets and Hungerford Terrace, which is more likely to reflect the classic schism between students and working people. “In the Old North End, we hear about unsupervised children in the streets, drug problems, ani mal problems — like pit bulls,” Horan points out. “Recently, someone was trying to find a truant officer. I’m learning how to direct residents to the right person if they have a com plaint. We try to resolve situations before police intervention is need ed. I’m sure there are cases when there’s not much we can do. The neighborhood has a few who make life difficult for the rest, but there doesn’t seem to be one overriding issue.” In addition to hearing quotidi an quibbles, Horan has been gain ing a larger perspective. “We’ve had a lot of meetings with city officials about how Burlington functions,” he says. “We also met with a liaison between the

VISTA volunteers per

We encourage them to form neighborhood associations. We also offer leadership develop ment training and grants for local improvement projects.” , Armed with a stack of fliers — one that introduces him and another that announces an upcom ing workshop on renters’ rights — Horan has been tackling two resi dential areas in particular: The family-centered neighborhood of

University of Vermont and the city.” Despite his newcomer status, Horan — the youngest of four children born to a former teacher and an insurance agent in Vorheesville, near Albany — is philosophical. “In this kind of work, you usually don’t really see the results of what you do. Things can take years to resolve.” And yet, Old North End resi dents — surveyed in a two-year UVM study released in late 2000 — indicated they appreciate the effort. “People told us neighbor hood associations cultivated by the Public Safety Project have a strong impact on livability, on how responsive they feel local govern ment has been to their needs and on their own sense of empower ment,” says Yiota Ahladas, assis tant director of community devel opment at CEDO. “The study contacted 50 percent of the house holds on nine streets and 80 per cent of them said there had been positive changes.” Ahladas credits VISTA volun teers for much of that progress. In all, the federal program has reached 35,000 low-income Vermonters throughout the state in the past nine years of operation. VISTA was founded by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 as part of the War on Poverty. Twenty-nine years later, Bill Clinton tacked on the AmeriCorps segment to add a

community-service component. Burlington has more VISTA vol unteers per capita than any other city in the country. “In 1992, CED O was grap pling with how to better address human services,” Ahladas explains. “We had a growing refugee populationj welfare reform was on the horizon, the health-care system was starting to be a problem'. As an experiment, we brought three VISTA people to Burlington to work on some of those issues and began to recognize this could be a great resource for us.” W hen the Enterprise Community strategic planning grant became available in 1995, “It was an engine to drive the idea,” Ahladas continues. “O ut of $3 million, we asked for money to pay 15 VISTA workers. That first year was an astounding success. They reached one in three resi dents o f the Old North End and helped launch $1.3 million worth of other programs. We became the most advanced Enterprise Com munity in the nation. In 1996 or 1997, H U D flew us down to Washington to talk about our model.” H alf of the 50 VISTA volun teers that now come to Vermont each year are assigned to the statewide literacy project that C ED O established in 1998.

remainder concentrates on various Burlington issues — economic development, housing, health, youth. Ahladas says that Matt Dunne, a former Vermont state senator who now heads the nation al office of AmeriCorps-VISTA, “wants to replicate our program throughout the country. Peter Clavelle is actually known as ‘the VISTA Mayor’ because he sees it as a centerpiece of community development.” And why would these volun-

Some resi dents warily accept the fliers, but seem to have little interest in the project.„ “I judge by body language,” Renaud says, referring to the way she determines how far to push it. Horan relies on audio cues. “If they just go, ‘Umhmm, umhmm, umhmm, I don’t keep talking,” he says. Although they do manage to turn down the rap music, three teenagers in baseball caps look per plexed when Horan tries to explain his mission. At another house, the volunteers attempt to communi-

— Chris Horari teers be willing to put in long hours for low pay? “They’re work ing on boundless faith,” Ahladas suggests. “Some of them have told us this is the best education they’ve ever gotten. AmeriCorps-VISTA’s a cool little program — a cool, notso-little program, actually.”

ll that history rests easily on the shoulders of Chris Horan who, when he is not out pounding the pavement, is ensconced with his colleagues in tiny cubby holes at police depart ment headquarters on North Avenue. After majoring in psychol ogy and Spanish in college, he decided to wait before applying to graduate or law school. “I wanted to do some kind of community service as a transition,” says Horan, adding he once spent a winter break volunteering at a homeless shelter in Florida. “After graduation, I was hoping to find work in which I could help people but not get burned out.” Once accepted by AmeriCorpsVISTA, Horan chose the Public Safety Project over two other avail able jobs — one opened up at the Lund Family Center, the other involved recuiting college kids in a literacy campaign through Champlain College. His interest certainly didn’t stem from greed: He earns $9000 a year, plus anoth er $4700 at the end of his term that must be used to pay pre-exist ing educational loans or applied toward further schooling. “I liked the idea o f having dif ferent responsibilities and different experiences, as well as working on a team,” Horan says of the current assignment. “It’s fairly interesting, with not a lot of routine. O ur days are split between attending meet ings, being in the office, going out into the neighborhoods. W hen we knock on doors, people are usually pretty friendly. Either they don’t care about what we have to say or they’re friendly.” Horan and Renaud encounter both scenarios on Blodgett Street, where modest homes surrounded

cate with a Russian immigrant who has a poor command of English and appears to think she is being instructed, rather than invit ed, to attend the renters’ rights workshop. “O ur first language bar rier,” Renaud observes. Other residents pepper them with questions or comments. A homeowner in the process of adding an apartment to her prop erty mentions she might be inter ested in the renters’ rights meeting. As she talks to Horan and Renaud on the porch, a small dog behind her screen door barks ferociously at the nonchalant Cooper. The team encounters less of a racket, and an unexpected wel come,’at a house across the road. “You’ve actually come at just the right time,” suggests Heather Hayes. “The other day, someone tried to break into my bathroom while I was in the shower at 4:45 in the morning, right after my husband left for work. I was think ing of calling your organization, in fact.” The intruder ran away when Hayes shouted to her downstairs tenant for help. “He might be the normal riff-raff that comes around,” she speculates. “I’ve been talking to people in the area. I made sure to notify all the single < women who live around here. I’ve met quite a few of my neighbors in the process.” Renaud is pleased to hear this. “It’s good you’re letting everybody know what’s happening, so you can all keep an eye on each other,” she tells Hayes. “T hat’s one of the benefits of organizing neighbor hoods — to decrease crime.” Since the attempted break-in, Hayes and her husband have made some physical changes, trimming hedges next to the house where an interloper could hide and installing outdoor sensor lights. But she remains nervous. W hen Horan makes a pitch about the workshop as a way for community members to network, Hayes muses that “maybe we’ll get down there. We should. It’s our neighborhood.” ®

y neighbor recently came across an announcem ent in the paper about National Newspaper Carrier Appreciation Day, w ith an alphabetical list recogizing all the local carriers and drivers. She cut it out, wrote “Chris M cD onald” in ballpoint pen between “M ayforth” and “Messier,” and taped it to my apartm ent door. Since I ’ve been delivering papers in M ontpelier for some extra cash lately and wasn’t on the list, I guess she thought that would be funny. But I take my job as a 32-year-old paper “boy” seriously, and I didn’t appreciate not being properly recognized. Newspaper delivery is diffi cult, thankless and dangerous work. There are a lot o f dogs in M ontpelier. D on’t get me wrong, I adore dogs, have almost always had one, and they’ve always given 100 percent — far more than they received from me. True, m uch o f it has been in the form o f regurgitated rawhide bones and rear-seat upholstery from my car deposited on my only ^ decent rug. Brit they’ve also coughed up love and affection — especially when I’ve w ithheld the JB Snausages. I1 T he Dogs o f M ontpelier, howM ever, run free and wild, sometimes alone, often in pairs and occasion ally in packs. T he good news is that 95 percent o f them w ant to be my friend — they just w ant someone to play with. T he bad news is that roughly 70 percent o f those dogs won’t stop playing w ith me when I w ant them to. M ost o f the retriev ers apparently believe that their owners have paid the newspaper carriers to play “fetch” w ith them. If I decide not to play w ith the retrievers I encounter along my ^ route, they punish me by abscond ing w ith a paper I’ve left on some one else’s doorstep. I have had at least three papers stolen by Labradors in the past week. I don’t even w ant to discuss those wily Goldens, w ho always get away clean. Retrievers have no respect whatsoever for the office o f Newspaper Carrier. Spaniels, however, are a little more thought ful. T hey w aat to talk, which would be fine if I didn’t have an im portant job to do, and if I spoke more “D og.” There is a female Brittany Spaniel in the neighborhood between Elm Street and H ubbard Park —- usually seen in the com pa ny of one elderly, arthritic but curiously dignified male Pug mix — w ho shadows me for a m ini m um o f two city blocks every time I come by. T he Spaniel runs up ahead for several houses, sits down and stares at me intently for a m om ent or two, then barks four times as I approach her. Sir Pug stands a few feet back, as if he’s the Spaniel’s lawyer, occasionally lim ping forward to advise her on key points. These dogs are so per sistent it seems they’re trying to tell me the exact date and location o f the next terrorist attack. It’s driving me nuts, so if anybody understands what

“W oof-woof-woof-woof” means, please e-mail me or contact the appropriate federal agency as soon as possible. It’s the German breeds you really need to watch out for, though — any country that starts two world wars is going to have some wicked dogs. T he Shepherds don’t actually pose too m uch o f a problem when they’re by themselves. They’re standoffish, sometimes a little snotty — sort o f John Mai kovich-type dogs. But they don’t usually give chase. They really act more Swiss than German. A few of the Rottweilers, on the other hand, look like they would just as soon remove a kid ney as let me walk on their side o f the street. And if you mix the two breeds in one animal, what you have on your hands is a Dennis H opper dog — easily as unpredictable he was in Blue Velvet. You can’t even try to roll over and play dead; you just have to mace the bastard. Force is the only thing these dogs understand, other than “Cheweez,” which can sometimes keep them occupied long enough for the fleet-foot ed carrier to escape. But that’s appease ment, really, so I try to reserve the | treats for the dogs that deserve them. I think of the dogs that ruin it for everyone else — roughly 5 percent of the pooch popula tion — as the Islamic fundamentalists of the canine world. T he Feds at the Postal Service take this 5 per cent very seriously, and so do I now, because these dogs have one or both of only two motives: to eat me or breed with me. If I hadn’t had my pepper spray with me at all times these last few m onths, I’d be having puppies by Christmas. It is said that there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. In general I agree. It is these owners who always try to convince me what a great judge o f character their dog is — as if I’m somehow ask ing to be chased, and that “Precious,” who is alternately hum ping my shin, gnawing on my left thigh and shoving his snout up my backside, has psychiatric training. Sorry to break it to you, people: T he truth is, dogs tend to model the behavior o f their owners. And that is why my dog is the sweetest, most easy-going, goodnatured, intelligent.. .

mination, funded by an alliance of public and pri vate benefactors and directed by Statehouse curator David Schutz. A public unveiling and reception this Friday hon ors the artisans involved in the restoration. The event includes remarks by restoration architect John Mesick and a live auction of samples of the contro versial Senate carpet. But even as this proj ect comes to an end, another is just beginning: yet another addition to the Statehouse. Although its pre cise location has yet to be deter mined, and the architect is still unknown, everyone agrees the cur rent Statehouse is astonishingly cramped, with important commit tees jammed into small rooms and most legislators deprived of any real space in which to work. Later this month, four archi tectural firms are scheduled to pres ent proposals to a “technical advisory committee” for a Statehouse addi tion, reports Schutz. These advisors, in turn, will present the four designs next spring to a legislative group com prising the chairs and vice-chairs of the House and Senate Institutions committees, plus Commissioner Thomas W. Torti of the

luating architects with designs on th« Vermont Statehouse , By Donald M aurice Kreis o humanly created object does a better job o f symbol izing Vermont than the Statehouse in Montpelier. Nestled against a verdant hillside, it could be seen as powerful testimony that people cannot outperform nature but should aspire to harmonize with it. The unabashed classicism of the building speaks both to a sense of Yankee conservatism and to the democratic principles that Americans trace to ancient Greece. The Statehouse was originally designed in 1838 by Ammi Burnham Young, but an 1857 fire destroyed the building. Only Youngs portico remained. The subsequent reconstruction at the threshold o f the Civil War memo rializes Vermonters’ tenacity, since they embarked on such an impor tant civil project at a time of great national uncertainty. Furthermore, nearly every U.S. Statehouse has a dome, but only Vermont’s is purely vestigial — it performs no func tion from the perspective of the

building’s interior and, in that sense, is purely cosmetic. That may say something about Vermont whimsy. Behind the Statehouse’s famous Barre granite facade fronting State Street are three essentially invisible additions. The first, from T888, peeks out from behind the west side o f the original building and contains hearing rooms and what was once the home of the Vermont Supreme Court. Next came the 1900 addition, built entirely in the rear in the jaunty Queen Anne style; it mainly houses offices for the Speaker of the House and the Speaker’s staff. The most recent addition, also in the rear, dates from 1987 and houses the Statehouse cafeteria. Each is a pitch-perfect expression of its architectural era, rather than a mere imitation of the Greek Revival epoch in which Young so successfully labored. For the last 20 years, architec tural attention has shifted inside. A meticulous restoration of the Capi tol’s grand interiors is reaching cul

Department of Buildings and General Services. That politically oriented panel will be charged with recommending one of the designs to the Legislature for possible con struction. The process, as it has evolved, has been cause for both concern and hope. Schutz has professed disappointment that more archi tects were not attracted to the competition. It’s rumored in the architectural community that com petition organizers had hoped to attract “superstar” architects from around the nation, if not the world. That this did not happen may be a positive development, however: Good architecture is like ly to arise from a local, or at least regional, practitioner familiar with New England — someone who is not so famous as to be indifferent to the commission and thus rele

onate with the existing buildings without imitating them. Some might question whether having two tiers of committees isn’t too bureaucratic a process to allow real innovation to reach the Legislature. Process does matter when it comes to public design , commissions — consider the dif ference between* the dynamic, refreshing border station the feder al government has built at Highgate Springs and the boring, mediocre state courthouse pro posed for Rutland. The former was commissioned by the General Services Administration, the feder al landlord that during the Clinton years let quality, not politics, be its design guide. The latter was a design picked by a committee in a process similar to the one now in use at the Statehouse. But there is reason to derive guarded optimism from the list of architectural firms competing for the Statehouse job. The most famous name on the list is that of noted preservationist Allan Greenberg from Washington, D.C. He is a strident classicist, calling this age-old style “still the most potent, the most appropriate, and the most noble language to express the relationship of the indi vidual to the community in a republican democracy.” The other non-Vermont firm in the competition is Finegold

Alexander and Associates of Boston. They too specialize in preservation and restoration, with a client list that includes Harvard University, the Ellis Island restora tion in New York Harbor and Union College in Schenectady, where Finegold Alexander restored the school’s signature round build ing, the Nott Memorial. The two Vermont firms are more associated with contempo rary design solutions. One is Smith Alvarez Sienkiewycz of Burlington, architects of the new Center for Lake Champlain now under con struction on the city’s waterfront. The other is the Burley Partnership of Waitsfield, responsible for designing the highly contemporary and successful 1987 Statehouse addition — a structure of simple granite and glass that owes more to Frank Lloyd Wright or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe than Ammi Burnham Young. The differences between com petitors are interesting: The two non-Vermont firms will most likely propose historicist solutions to the Statehouse addition, while the two local firms might be expected to strive for an eloquent architecture of the present. The ultimate choice of architect may speak to the Legislature’s sense of itself in rela tion to the past and the future. The politicians will be getting advice along the way. “As a preser vationist, I’m particularly con scious of wanting to retain the Statehouse’s scale, and its relation to the buildings around it,” says Schutz, who is likely to be influen tial with the technical advisory

committee. “W ere looking for outof-the-ordinary solutions that are going to be sensitive to the existing Statehouse... It isn’t really consid ered a good thing to add to a his toric building by creating a false history and repeating the design of the building itself.” That’s an unusual comment from a preservationist, since many with that kind of training are single-mindedly dedicated to building mere replicas of great creations from the past. Steve Smith, president of Smith Alvarez Sienkiewycz, speaks highly of the competition as it has unfolded thus far. He’s pleased that all four firms will receive a $10,000 honorarium for their work, a sum that will barely pay the cost of materials for the four design models, but which at least recognizes that the creative effort expended on unsuccessful competi tion entries still has real value. Smith is excited about what he calls a “huge opportunity,” but concedes that “one problem is try ing to focus on a single idea.” In order words, to come up with a design proposal “without any client contact.” So far, the process here seems to favor the Burley Partnership. Principal Robert Burley is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, which signifies starquality achievement. So he’s a good compromise between those who want a “famous” designer and those who think a local architect should get the job. More impor tantly, his 1987 Statehouse addi tion, which houses the cafeteria, is

Harper and state buildings curator David Schutz look over a scale model of the statehouse. so good that it almost makes lunch there worth the trip. The Burley addition offers an intimate panora ma of the hillside behind the building and, with it, a placid, meditative feeling that is unprece dented in a building whose pro gram is really about the pomp and grandeur of lawmaking. Burley is also a good compro mise between the modernists and the preservationists — evidenced by his library at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, New Hampshire. It’s a restored historic barn, but cuteness is wholly aban

doned in favor of an exploration of how timber-framed spaces can evoke the simplicity and sophisti: cation of contemporary design. From the Vermont public’s standpoint, though, the imperative here is not to handicap a winner, but to make sure the Legislature does what’s right. It’s reasonable to expect the selection committee to conduct a public hearing or two, to let the people have their say, but also to hope that the committee is willing to ignore public pressure if necessary and opt for the best solu tion, even if it is not the least

expensive or the most immediately crowd-pleasing. Prior legislatures built wisely and courageously in this place, but today public buildings can too eas ily end up cheaply done or, worse, descend into superficial, Disneyesque glitz. This is a legislative era typified by great things, like Vermont’s recognition that every one deserves the benefits of mar riage, and equal opportunity for a quality public education. Vermont ers deserve an enduring architec tural statement at the Statehouse of comparable quality. (Z)

n a chaotic world, you have to take comfort where you can. It may be strange to think o f a book about crime as comforting, but for fans of the detective genre, Archer Mayor’s annual addition is a joy and a relief. After all, the Newfane author is a captain and EM T for the local volunteer fire department, serves on the board of trustees for a hospital and is both village moderator and town consta ble. It would be characteris tic for the modest, bespecta cled 51-year-old to add that he was also the village idiot. The point is, he’s a busy man. You ha^e to wonder how he manages to crank out another installment in his Joe Gunther series, year after year. Tucker Peak makes it an even dozen, and its setting is quintessential^ Vermont — a ski resort. But, as always, Mayor’s Vermont is not the tourist-brochure version; Tucker Peak is a contempo rary resort struggling to sur vive against the forces of economy, iffy weather, falling attendance and aging equip ment. Its response has been mas sive development: In an attempt to make the mountain more attractive to wealthy vacationers, the resort has added condos, an upscale hotel, nightclub and boutiques. It has also leased land to an alterna tive-energy company, whose mas sive, looming windmills figure dra matically into Mayor’s whiteknuckle finale. When dispatched to the m oun tain to investigate a larceny theft, however, Gunther and his team encounter an encampment of restive environmental protesters, questionable managers and employees and a series of devastat ing “accidents.” All of this quickly spirals into the kind o f convoluted, multi-layered criminal scenario at which Mayor excels. That larceny turns out to be just one of a string of thefts, and just one o f the crimes in a tangled web o f embez zlement, drugs and homicide. Gunther’s investigators sniff out so many slimeballs that even the saintly leader o f the environmental movement begins to seem suspect. Mayor unravels the threads of this web with uneven success; it might take a second read o f Tucker Peak to more easily follow some o f its byzantine plot twists and, more importantly, its cast o f characters and their relationships to each other. But at least faithful followers of Gunther and his team — the acid-tongued Willy Kunkel and scrappy Sammie Martens — can make sense of their new jobs.

Mount Formerly detectives with the Brattleboro Police Department, the trio were absorbed last year into the new, and highly controversial, Vermont Bureau of Investigation — an elite squad assigned to the state’s toughest cases. Kunkel sums it up sardonically as “the Un-frigging-touchables.” Mayor’s last installment, The Marble Mask, was

WM.

a. m

mmm

bogged down with explanations of the roles of various state lawenforcement agencies, and the morass of acronyms was bewilder ing. Happily, Tucker Peak makes quick work of the explanations and gets down to the gritty task of solving crimes. It is to Mayor’s credit that he does not attempt to glamorize either the cops or the criminals along the way. “Murder and mayhem,” as Kunkel calls it, is a nasty business, filled with nasty people; in contrast to the stone faced dispatching of evildoers in pulp fiction, Mayor’s cops don’t feel good about killing people. In fact, they’re encouraged to get counseling after taking someone out. Mayor’s cops have feelings. Police work is also occasionally mundane and uneventful — think waiting on a stakeout in subzero weather; think paperwork at the office. But Mayor does not allow anyone — his characters or his readers — to get bored. Action is unleashed in just the right measure to keep things edgy: A chair on a ski lift comes loose and nearly kills a mother and her young daughter; G unther’s arm is macerated by a fiercely protective Rottweiler; a fel low cop is wounded on a snowy mountainside, his splattered blood a startling contrast with the falling flakes. If it is not always easy to con nect the dots in Mayor’s plotlines, he makes up for it with satisfying character development and rich, imagistic descriptions of place.

Fans of his series know that Gunther is a reluctant hero, an everyday Joe with unsophisticated tastes, a penchant for woodwork ing and a philosophical bent. He also has a longtime, though unmarried, relationship with Gail Zigman, a younger, ambitious lawyer who at this point is counsel to a state environmental group and lives in Montpelier. She makes only minor appearances in Tucker Peak, but Kunkel and Martens — who conduct a prickly romance of their own — figure more prominently than ever. Even lesser characters are delicately drawn. In Tucker Peak’s fast-paced climax on the mountaintop, Gunther and other officers close in on an armed baddie, amid falling snow and the roar of snowmobiles. Mayor galvanizes the reader with nearly lan guorous descriptions of the set ting punctured by heart-stop ping confrontation with danger: Looming out o f the cold, pale environment, revealed in a sud den gust o f wind like a towering ghost rising from the ground at my feet, was a thin, white, tubu lar shaft impressive enough to make me think o f alien visitors or a sign from God. Hanging a hun dred and thirty feet over me, equipped with three huge, ponder ous, black-painted, slicing blades, was one o f the summit’s distinctive windmills. Each blade, at least sixty feet long, came flying out o f the sky, seemingly aimed at my head, only to reach the end o f its arc with the sound o f a diving aircraft. One by one, they thrummed by to vanish in the opposite direction, each one fol lowing on the heels o f its mate, to begin the process anew — once every split second. My instant and instinctive crouching down brought me almost eye-level with the ground — and to Doug Fleury lying half covered with snow a few feet ahead, one red stained glove clutching a wounded shoulder. Just beyond him, stepping out from behind the tower, a pistol aimed straight at me, was Antony “Tony Bugs”Busco, looking just like his mug shot. True to the genre, Mayor’s good guys always prevail in the end, and yet the victory is never sweet. While one or more crimi nals might be put away, the world remains a dangerous, and thus diminished, place. Even in Vermont, the menace portrayed in Tucker Peak seems more plausible than ever. ® Archer Mayor will readfrom Tucker Peak this Friday, October 26, at The Book Rack in Essex Junction, 7 p. m. The event is free and open to the public. Info, 872-2627.

T H E

ZV^r Cecil, The movie M oulin Rouge has a sequence about drinking absinthe and the apparent hallu cinogenic effects o f same. N ow a wire story, widely reproduced, announces the new “Absente” brand o f absinthe that is made with “southern wormwood”and is legal and safe. The story goes on to say that the regular absinthe was banned because it contained a neurotoxin. Weird things happened back in the early 20th century (cocaine in cola, “killer weed, ” etc.), so I have to wonder: Was there really a neuro toxin in absinthe? Was it hallucinogenic? W ill it rot your brain ? Would it be f u n ? — Drew, via the Internet O h, sure, no end to the fun you can have w ith absinthe. Like grand mal epileptic seizures, for example — are they a laugh riot or what? But no one is sure w hether seizures and other pyrotechnic effects o f absinthe were the result o f the ingredient worm wood, which contains the neurotoxin you’re talking about, or just acute alcohol poisoning. If you ask me, the only way to decide the m atter definitively is for you to start drinking absinthe while a buddy starts putting away, say, vodka. After you both go into a coma and die, we’ll peel your heads open and see which brain has more rot. Absinthe is illegal in most places now, but a century ago it

was the most fashionable drink in France — the 19th-century equivalent of cocaine, even requiring a special spoon. You didn’t use the perforated absinthe spoon to put the stuff up your nose, though, but to hold a lump o f sugar over the absinthe glass while you poured in water. The water diluted the potent liqueur —1 absinthe was 60 to 75 percent alcohol — while the sugar took off the bitter edge. (The word absinthe is thought to derive from the Greek apsinthion, undrinkable, although the wormwood-flavored beverages of antiquity were different from that sipped in the cafes of Montmartre.) A transparent green when poured from the bottle, absinthe turned milky green, then opalescent with the addition o f water. The spoon, the color and the ritual were part o f the mystique of absinthe, which enthusiasts called la fee verte, the Green Fairy. D rink enough absinthe and you’d see lots o f green fairies — or pink elephants. Absinthe was embraced by the artists and bohem ians o f the Parisian dem im onde, who thought it unleashed the imagination, increased mental acuity and so on. Oscar W ilde, who had more than a casual acquain tance with absinthe, wrote, “After the first glass you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally you see things as they really are, and

that is the most horrible thing in the w orld.” W ilde wasn’t the only cre ative eminence to enjoy absinthe. T he roll of literary and artistic types who flirted with the Green Fairy, often at the expense of their art, includes some o f the most dis tinguished names of the 19th century: the poets Baudelaire, Rimbaud and Verlaine; the painters Van Gogh, Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec; and many others who prided them selves on living close to the edge in the glittering, if deca dent, cafe society of the belle epoch. (For a wonderful evoca tion of absinthe’s role in that lost world, see Barnaby Conrad I ll’s 1988 book, Absinthe: History in a Bottle.) It couldn’t last. Absinthe was blamed, somewhat unfairly, for the high rate of alcoholism in France (the real culprit was undoubtedly wine, which was consumed in far greater quanti ties) . Temperance advocates and newspapers linked it to several horrifying murders, and it was ultimately banned in France and many other countries in the years leading up to World War I. Was the stuff really so bad? M any point to the ingredient wormwood {Artemisia absinthi um:), which contains the neuro toxin thujone. T hujone is chemically similar to T H C , the active ingredient in marijuana, and some speculate that the two com pounds act on the brain in similar ways. Others say that even chronic absinthe drinkers couldn’t consume enough thujone to do real dam age — you’d pass out in a drunken stupor first — and that the real culprit was alcohol. These days it’s all pretty much academic — absinthe remains illegal in most places. It’s still made in Spain and the Czech Republic and can be sold in the U.K. But the concentra tion of thujone in the modern product is much less than in the old days. If you’d rather avoid trouble with the law, you can buy Absente, which as you say is an absinthe substitute made with southern wormwood. Doesn’t sound like much o f a deal to .me — you’re not getting the genuine article, and it’s still highly alco holic (110 proof). But maybe cirrhosis is a small price to pay to feel like Toulouse-Lautrec.

Bernie f<5r Congress? — That was the view of the overwhelming majority of the 160 Sanderistas who sailed with Congressman Bernie Sanders on last Friday’s “Sunset Cruise” on Lake Champlain. Bernie gave a speech on the current political situation. He did not criticize U.S. military actions. Instead he highlighted the domestic impact of the crisis and the issues that are being over looked in the current war frenzy. “Since September 1 1 said Ol’ Bernardo, “more Americans are without health insurance and more are unemployed.” Sanders said it’s “outrageous” that “some of our friends in Congress, the right-wing people, have decided that one of the ways to fight international terrorism is to lower taxes for the rich. It’s a unique perspective, I must admit, but it sounds awfully like their point of view from before September 11. Some of us are a little bit suspicious.” At the end, Sanders asked ior a show of hands on what office he should seek in 2002. Several sources tell Seven Days Congress was the clear wish of the crowd. Only five or six hands went up when Bernie asked if he should run for governor.

his unofficial coming-out party. The Republican gubernatorial hopeful and political newcomer gave his first campaign speech Saturday at the GO P’s $125-aplate fall fundraising dinner at the Sheraton. It wasn’t exactly well received, since many regard him as Democrat Howard Dean’s hand-picked successor. Most of the party faithful sat on their hands. The only tepid applause came when King Con took a shot at Act 60 and the Vermont Supreme Court. State Treasurer Jim Douglas, the favorite, got a much warmer reception. In what was the best speech we’ve ever heard Slim Jim give, he rallied the audience behind the President and the party, and took a few good shots at his Democrat opponent, Lt. Gov. Doug Racine, and Osama bin Laden. ' “We’ll remember his advocacy for bigger government as the state slid into recession in the late 1980s... We’ll remember his role as a water-carrier for the failed policies of the Kunin administra tion. Don’t get me wrong,” said Douglas, as some gasped at his uncharacteristic hard-hitting attack, “he’s a nice man, but we cannot give the checkbook of our state to Doug Racine!” The crowd exploded in applause and cheers. About 450 attended. Most of their seats were paid for by corpo rate sponsors. According to the guest list, there were tables spon sored by pharmaceutical compa-

nies like Pfizer, Merck and Glaxo Smith-Kline, tobacco companies like Phillip Morris and R.J. Reynolds. In fact, WCAX-TV sponsored a table. Not surprising. The owner ship of WGOP, er, sorry, WCAXTV, has a long and close relation ship with the Vermont Repub lican Party. They’re proud of it. Media Notes — Associated Press reporter Mike Eckel is moving up the media ladder. After two . years toiling at the Montpeculiar bureau, Mike’s starting on the AP’s national desk in the Big Apple next month. Congratula tions! The news is a bit different for veteran Vermont broadcaster Joel Najman. Joel was axed last week as W DEV ’s news director in what’s being called a cost-cutting move. Too bad, because he was doing an outstanding job. Peter for President? — He’s not responding to our e-mail, but sources say Peter Smith is defi nitely in the running to be the University of Vermont’s next full time president. In fact, Seven Days has learned that last winter Mr. Smith sent a personal letter to the interim search committee declar ing his strong interest in the vacant UVM presidency. In that letter, Pedro gave his detailed assessment of just what the next UVM president should do to put the school back on the right track. Mr. Smith, who celebrates his 56th birthday next week, is cur rently the president of California State University at Monterey Bay, where all reports say he’s done an outstanding job. But Peter Smith’s roots are back here in Vermont. Born into the respected family that ran the Burlington Savings Bank for generations, Smith got his bachelor’s degree from Princeton and his Ph.D. from Harvard. In the 1970s he was the founding president of the Community College of Vermont. In the 1980s, he was a Republican state senator from Washington County, then lieu tenant governor, and then con gressman. He was the guy Bernie Sanders beat in the 1990 election. That defeat gave Smith a westward-ho feeling, and Cal StateMonterey is where he landed. According to UVM sources, the current presidential search committee is throwing a “wide net” in its quest to pick the right candidate. But it’s no secret, we’re told, that Smith wants the job “very badly.” A lot of people have made calls on his behalf. Cool. Yours truly remembers Peter Smith from his political career. Long-windedness was his trade mark. There were never any short answers from Peter. It was a quali ty that always made us think he was better suited for academia than the land of the 20-second sound bite. Peter knows Vermont well. Mr. Smith has already gone to Washington. Maybe it’s time he went to Waterman? ®

OV ER T H E R E My, but the indie-rock world can be incestuous. For evidence, look no fur ther than the line-up of past and present Burlingtonians now converging on Europe. The Essex Green, featuring former Guppyboys Jeff Baron, Sasha Bell and Chris Ziter, ex-Pants drum m er Neil Cleary and the bassist from Jim & Jennie & the Pinetops, are nearing the end of a three-week tour of England and France. Tuesday this week, fel low ex-Guppys Zach Ward and Michael Barrett, o f Burlington and New York, respec tively, flew over to replace Bell and Baron, at which point the band turns into The Sixth Great Lake and plays two shows at the Crossing Border Festival in Amsterdam. Bell and Baron, meanwhile, take off to Oslo for another three-week jaunt around Europe with Ladybug Transistor. And those are just a few of the interconnected collectives in the world o f under-the-radar post-pop. Confused yet? If you want to glean more inside dope, check out the “Rock Snob’s Dictionary” in the current annual music issue o f Vanity Fair. Ladybug is one of the bands listed in reference to the indie label Elephant 6, which the “dictionary’ offers “a loose collection o f interrelated neo psychedelic bands.” Apparent requirement in the clique, it adds, is “a retro-baroque band name, a willingness to share members, and a grad-studentish indifference to per sonal appearance.” Footnote: An Essex Green song was fea tured on W B ’s “Felicity” a couple weeks ago. H ow smug is that?

PH A RCYD E

M E M O R IE S S E R V E Last Saturday night at the M em O dd Annex, more than 200 local and visiting lefties — some famous, some infamous — turned out for a gala celebra tion and “retirem ent” party for Dave Dellinger. A t age 86, the former Chicago 7 defendant and six-decade veteran o f tireless activism is, well, getting tired. N ot by choice, m ind you. A legend in the non-vio

lence ranks of the American Left, Dellinger and his wife Elizabeth Peterson were feted with a “this is your life”-type program. No such bill would be complete w ithout a soundtrack o f protest music, and on hand to oblige was Hinesburg folkie Rik Palieri, himself a pal o f singer/activist hero Pete Seeger. Palieri cranked out familiar tunes from “Joe H ill” to “We Shall Overcome,” and the audience sang right along. T he nos talgia was palpable — along with the tacit realization that the apparently dorm ant peace movement could prove useful right now. W here has all the flower-power gone? Palieri also informs that, next m onth, he’ll be producing a special edition o f his Channel 15 public-access show, “Song W riter’s N otebook,” featuring a visit to the CF M artin G uitar Company. And by the way, you can check out his hourlong inter view with Seeger, taped on the latter’s 80th • birthday in 1999, at www.thedigitalfolk life.org. The ever-itinerant Palieri will soon be touring Scotland with a group of musi cians from Russia, and touring England and Germany with British singer Garfith H edges. T he second trip will prom ote the pair’s shared — and appropriately titled — release, Hard Traveling. D on’t tell this Yankee to stay home. TRICKS AN D T R EA TS Those of you who were sentient in the early ’80s will remem ber Thriller as the Michael Jackson album that sold a bazillion copies and whose video launched a (thankfully) brief fad o f wearing a single glove. Chances are that was not the inspiration for a Halloween party also enti tled “Thriller,” coming up next Wednesday at Mem O dd. T he all-ages, costume affair is hosted by Burlington’s C om m unity Justice Center and Straight Talk Vermont, and ben efits the latter’s youth programs called Teen Expressions. Bad Horsey, Lewis the Saint, Us Hum ans, DJs Joey K , Tim D ia z, DDevious, Master Unique and Universal,

and rap performances from outfits called Arrogant E ntertainm ent and Famlife Productions show how to get down sans substances. Meanwhile, down at the V FW in M ontpelier, edified Presents throws the sec ond annual “Samhain Soiree,” a costume ball (but don’t try dressing like a vet). Deep Soda, Leon Tubbs and a deejay make this one full-moon funky. Since Halloween is on a “school night,” most venues are getting in ghoulish gear this weekend. T he biggest scare-a-thon is the annual N ight of the Living Dead party at Magic H at booery on Friday, featuring live music from the mega-funky Jen Durstin & the Conscious Underground. Saturday night the Shelburne Farms Coach Barn houses another annual event, Very Special Arts Vermont’s Masquerade Ball. Edwin Pabon y S UOrquestra throw some salsa at the spiders. I figure you can pretty m uch stay in cos tum e from Friday through next Wednesday, spooking your favorite haunts. S IN G LE T R A C K S H appy birthday to Lee Anderson, and congratulations for knowing how to make getting older feel good. T he 24-year-old proprietor o f Radio Bean is throwing a party for him self Sunday night with the help o f the EameS B C O S . and ample champagne. Lee will sit in on har monica. Stay tuned next week for news about the coffeehouse’s first birthday . . . Speaking o f Radio Bean, Burlington singersongwriter Jake Ide celebrates the release of his debut C D , Lullabyes, there this Friday; Saturday night you’ll find a felicitous pair ing of acoustic talents named Jim: Jim Daniels and Jim M cGinniss — the latter graduated from past Burlington music leg ends Pine Island and The N -Zon es. This ^ time around it’s Americana-country-bluegrass . . . Maine alt-rockers Rustic Overtones have finally broken out o f the N ortheast and onto the national music scene, with the help o f their recent muchplayed single, “Com e O n .” This Sunday at H igher G round, they share a gig with a movie, Live Ski or Die. And it’s not even about the slopes in New Hampshire. Sponsored by T he Buzz, the evening includes prizes — surprise, surprise: skis or snowboards — for the best costumes . . . T h at organ-funky groove-soul sound has been hitting Burlington pretty hard lately — do I detect a trend? Fans o f the genre ought to turn out in sw eat-proof costumes this Saturday for The Th a n g , a H artford, C onnecticut-based supergroup, at H alvorson’s . . . ©

rE viE w srE viE w srE viE w srE v RAN I AR B O & D A IS Y M A Y H E M , COCKTAIL SWING (Signature Sounds Recordings, C D ) — Over the past five years or so, Rani (pro nounced “Ronnie”) Arbo has become well-known on the national festival and bluegrass circuit as the heartbreakingly talented lead crooner and fiddler w ith the western Massachusetts bluegrassnewgrass quartet Salamander Crossing. W hen the band members w ent their separate ways last year, it didn’t take much fortune-telling abili ty to successfully predict a successful solo career for Arbo. Cocktail Swing, her first album w ith the postSalamander band daisy mayhem, is throbbing with energy and full o f musical surprises. It sure isn’t bluegrass, but it’s fun to listen to. Swing tunes abound, W estern-style and otherwise, as do Tin Pan Alley joke songs and jazzy standards. T he general flavor of Cocktail Swing is strongly influenced by bandm em ber Andrew Kinsey, another ex-Salamander w ith a ukelele fetish. His compiled list o f “promising uke tunes” is directly responsible for the inclusion o f “Singing in the B athtub,” Billy Novick’s “Every Little M om ent,” Russ Colom bo’s “Pretend There’s a M oon” and a ukelele-festooned version o f Anne M urray’s schmaltz classic, “Snowbird.” Arbo takes credit for choosing the swing stuff, including the title track, a rocking version o f G uy Clark’s “Baby Took a Limo to , M em phis” and “Comes Love” (another great version o f this song is on Dan Hicks’ newest recording, recently reviewed here). W hile Arbo isn’t the next Joe Venuti, she has a soft touch and love for swing music that shines through in her fiddle playing. More importantly, the lady has a drop-dead gorgeous voice. W hen she purrs, it’s mighty hard not to purr back, if only to the C D player. O ne o f my favorites on this disc is a trem bling version o f Lefty Frizell’s “I D o My Cryin’ at N ight.” Every m ember o f the sextet on this recording (Arbo’s traveling band is usually a quartet) is an accomplished musician, but extra credit goes to the fine slide work by David Hamburger, and to the various percussion provided by Scott Kessel. His is one o f the m ost eccentric drum kits ever assembled, including everything from a bass drum made from a vinyl suitcase to Danish butter-cookie tins. Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem play this Thursday at H eartw ood Hollow in Hanksville. Local singer-song writer Patrick Fitzsimmons opens. — Robert Resnik P A TIO K IN G S , M Y FRIENDS AND I (Independent Artists, CD ) — O n their new release, M y Friends a n d /, Patiokings lay down a solid party groove o f up-tem po, jazzy funk, playing tight and fast in a singalong, head-bobbing fashion. T hey’ve taken up a Tuesday-night resi dency for a few weeks at T he W aiting Room, a perfect nightspot for hipsters to get down. W hat Patiokings are about seems to be having a good time, and emphasizing musical craft as a fourpiece rhythm -and-jazz combo. T heir music is heavy on hooks, blending bass, percussion and organ into one cool cocktail. It’s a little light lyrically, but I still find myself hum m ing along to “Sum m ertim e”: “T he livin’ is easy, the livin’ is easy/yeah in the sum m ertim e.” N othing you haven’t heard before, but still quite catchy. O ftentim es a vocal line will take over w ith a mantra-like repeti tion that can be either annoying or mesmerizing. O n “Freeman,” I got a little tired o f hearing “You’re an old man and you shouldn t be bum m in’ around” over and over, even as the refrain lodged firmly in my head. For com parison, think o f a funkier, less hum orous G. Love & Special Sauce, with more o f a band feel. W hen played at higher volume, M y Friends and I sheds any short comings and is simply a persistent call to party. Both “Living Like a King” and “Two Steps Away” get props for insistent white-boy soul. I w ouldn’t m ind hearing a few horns here and there, but you can’t real ly fault a band for w hat they don’t have. T he production here is sharp and well-polished. In some ways, the sparse approach to funk ups the impact, stripping the songs down to their essence and emphasizing the hooks. N o t a bad strategy. Patiokings plays to their strengths — and to a crowd — letting their solid sound do the w inning-you-over work. These days, a good party band is just w hat the doctor ordered. — Colin Clary

African Queen By S tephen M ills enin superstar Angelique Kidjo is part of a musical his tory evolving from an ancient West African empire and its attend ing tribal folklore. Formerly known as Dahomey, Benin was once a powerful, wealthy kingdom trading in slaves with the French, Portuguese and British. It might be said that Kidjo’s music follows that Diaspora, celebrating the cultural links of early African music to that in the New World. Her Afro-pop tunes subtly blend with souk, makossa, salsa, samba, jazz, blues and funk. Kidjo got her start singing and dancing with her mother’s theater-dance troupe, and was a national star by the age of 20. She counts among her early musical influences Westerners such as Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and The Beatles as well as African superstars Miriam Makeba and Fela Kuti. Although she did not come from the griot oral tradition common to many West African cultures, music is cen tral to the celebration of life in Benin. “We have different musicians who sing, giving our family history, the way your parents or grandparents might,” said Kidjo in a recent tele phone interview. “We passion our traditional songs from one person to another, such as wedding songs, baptismal songs and death ceremo ny songs. “The other thing we have is people who both sing and talk,” she added, referring to native folk lorists. “In the north of the country, we have people who will sit around the fire and recount fairytales.” Benin is also the home of voodoo, or “Vodun,” which comes from an African word for “spirit.” Although its roots may date back 6000 years in Africa, Vodun can be directly traced to the West African Yoruba, who in the 18 th and 19th cen tury occupied parts of modern Togo, Benin and Nigeria. Slaves brought their religion with them when they were forcibly shipped to Haiti and other islands in the West Indies. Vodun was suppressed during the slave trade and during Benins recent communist regime. However, it has been freely prac ticed in Benin since a democratic government was installed there in 1989 and was formally recognized as Benin’s official religion in 1996. It is also followed by most of the adults in Haiti, and can be found in many large U.S. cities in the

South. Today more than 60 million people practice Vodun worldwide. In Africa, Kidjo emphasized, the religion is nothing like the stereo type portrayed in the West. “Holly wood has made voodoo evil, but if you think about it, voodoo actually’ helped the Haitians become the first African people to win their freedom,” she said. Haiti was the first slave colony in the Caribbean to win freedom through revolution, largely inspired by native religious

irregularities. In Paris, Kidjo studied classical music and recorded her first album, Parakou, in 1985. She also met her future husband, Jean Hebrail, who co-wrote and produced four more albums — Logonzo (1991), Aye (1994), Fifa (1996) and Oremi (1998) — with the support of Mango/Island label guru Chris Blackwell. Her 2001 release is the compilation Keep on Moving: The Best o f Angelique Kidjo, on Columbia. Kidjo’s current project, due out next year, marks the slave and musical connections between the Bahia communities in * Benin and Brazil. It may seem that Kidjo is trying to cover all bases in her bid to attract Western audiences without giving up her African roots. Certainly diversity has helped her enter the mainstream U.S. music market, where other great African artists — including Senegal’s Youssou N ’Dour — have stumbled. Though she now lives in Brooklyn, Kidjo continues to seek musical inspiration in her native Benin, and she adamantly rejects the notion that she has cross-fertilized her music at the expense of a more authentic African sound. strength. “People are always telling me The singer’s respect for the my music is not ethnic enough,’ power of voodoo is expressed in her she retorted. “But if you think synthesized tribute to Hendrix’ about it, most Western music came “Voodoo Child (Slight Return).” from Africa. W ithout Africa, there The immortal rock guitar riffs are would be no jazz or blues or rock, replaced by sweeping lyrical chants no salsa or samba. and Kidjo’s siren voice soaring over “You know, artists like Paul the melody and rhythm. She can Simon and Peter Gabriel can take readily switch from jazz to funk to African music and make it their soul, and plans to further explore own,” she continued. “It sometimes means we can’t use it any more because it has become Western music. But it would be like me telling Mick Jagger his music isn’t English enough.” Kidjo points out that the Rolling Stones singer’s greatest music idols were American black blues artists Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. “In my own way, I am unique because of my cultural background,” she added. “But I am an African artist and person until the day I die.” Limber from a tour this summer with The Neville Brothers, the Dave Matthews Band and Macy Gray, Kidjo will bring a smooth blend of musical H U styles, singing in English, the music of India and Asia.

HUGHESDUNIT The latest from the fraternal filmmakers is a sawier-than-average suspensefest. FROM HELL*** In their latest, M enace I I Society directors Allen and Albert Hughes may deal with a different sort o f menace, and a society about as far removed from the mean streets of L.A. as one can imagine. But the frater nal filmmaking team gives every indication of feeling right at home and displays its customary panache. The Hughes’ D ead Presidents was one of the most underrated films of 1995. This time the sub ject is dead prostitutes. Set in Victorian London, the movie stars Johnny Depp as an opiumaddicted inspector whose druginduced visions sometimes con tain premonitions related to his investigations. When a burly detective comes to slap him out of his stupor in an opium den at the start of the story, Depp does n’t need to be told that a lady of the evening has just met with a violent end. He’s already glimpsed her blood-soaked petticoats in a dream. Heather Graham, her hair dyed the color of dried blood, costars as Mary, the most popular in a group of five prostitutes working the city’s spectacularly seedy Whitechapel district. Depp takes charge of the case. As Graham’s friends suffer grisly fates one by one, she initially scoffs at his impotence in the face of the challenge.

Looking for a little humor on Halloween? You cm count on comedian Steven Wright for a n ighrpf the .living deadpan. The laconic stand-up who got his start . at a combo CHinese-restaurantrcomedy club specializes in lines like “I spilled some spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.” Wright eschews potty humor for a absurdist, view that some critics have called “sublime • surrealism” and “stoic.” Like George Carlin, he is a keen obseryef-tT the world! ‘T fanything is being looked at tc^arftdch, 1 done Want to discuss it,” Wright told the that rules out anthrax jokes.

lake lure When it comes to Vermonster stories, the genre belongs to Joe Citro. The Burlington novelist and radio commentator is the states supernatural man. He wrote Lake M onsters 11 years ago, but the paperback is fresh from University Press of New England. It’s about a researcher who comes north from Boston “to prove once and for all whether there is a monster in Lake Champlain,” says Citro, noting all the sightings referenced in the book are “accurate and on the level.” Although he won’t say whether he connects with Champ, Citro confirms the protagonist definitely gets wet.

scare tactics There’s less gore than before, and a refer ence to an international terrorist got edited out after last month’s attacks. Otherwise the annual Haunted Forest promises to be as eerie as ever. “It’s a mixture ol spooky and humorous,” corrects Jim Shallow of the Green Mountain Audubon Nature Center, which hosts a dozen shows — in three nights — the weekend before Halloween. Volunteers work for weeks putting together the scary skits that unfurl, fun-house style, on witchy walks through the woods. Nature takes care of the “special” effects. Haunted Forest. Thursday through Saturday, October 25 to 27. Green Mountain Audubon Nature Center, Huntington, 7, 8, 9 & TO p.m. $11. Saturday matinee at 1, 1:30, 2, 2:3 0 p.m. $7. Info, 434-3 058 .

“Instead of just saying my mother was killed, we’ll say my mother was beaten, burned with cigarettes and suffocated with a pillow,” says Tracy Penfield. Therein lies the power of her “Remember My Name,” a performance of stories, poems, songs and dances about victims and survivors of Idomestic violence and sexual assault. Although it typically tours schools, the show is part of a “SafeArt” evening of events designed to raise funds — and awareness — for the Battered Women’s Services of Washington County.

rhythm method The West African Dance and Drum Festival didn t miss a beat when Anjelique Kidjo replaced Youssou N ’Dour at the Flynn Center. T hat’s because the four-day event organized by Jeh Kuiu is more about getting down than going out. African dance enthusiasts choose from a marketplace of classes in dance and drumming tradi tions from Ivory Coast, Guinea and Senegal. Although most of the instructors are Muslim, politics is not on the agenda. The only solutions being banged out are cultural ones.

“ m ice” w ork if you can get it Nothing like a Depression-era drama to put our present troubles in perspective. John Steinbeck’s classic O f M ice a n d M en captures a dire moment in American history, when a combination of Depression economics and scorching drought launched an agricul tural exodus across the United States. “This play is about the hopes and dreams we all have for a better life,” says Malcolm Ewan, who is directing the Weston Playhouse production about the relationship between two farmworkers: simple-minded Lennie and his wily protector George. “It is also about how we perceive and treat people who are different than we are.”

"What do you want? The usual?” With this flip, stock-in-trade bartender’s query, British contemDorary dancer and performance artist Wendy Houstoun begins a daringly unusual, hilarious, and insightful performance as a barmaid-on-a-bender in this onewoman show. Set in an actual pub - in this case downstairs at 135 Pearl - Happy Hour serves up a provocative hybrid of rant and dance in which *he contemporary state of bitter, not-so-merry old England is revealed in both spoken words and movement.
