DON'T APPLAUD VERMONT'S CLEAN WATER PLAN UNTIL THE STATE STOPS MUDDYING THE WATER. W e have two things to say about Governor Dean's recently announced "plan" to clean up Vermont's polluted waters: O n e - g r e a t idea! Two—don't be so quick to fill your glass with "reclaimed" w a t e r Because at the s a m e t i m e Governor Dean announced his plan to clean up Lake Champlain and 2 6 other contaminated watersheds, his administration announced policies that would only serve to allow more pollution and slow recovery efforts. Policies that, in light of theGovernor's stated intentions, send unclear signals to both Vermont polluters and residents. A major source of our water pollution comes from contaminated runoff in areas undergoing rapid d e v e l o p m e n t - p l a c e s like South Burlington and Williston. Stormwater pollution from rain and snowmelt runs off developed areas into rivers and lakes, carrying a toxic brew of oil, salt, phosphorus, sediment, pathogens, garbage, and other pollutants. For three decades, the Agency of Natural Resources has virtually 1 ignored this primary source of water pollution. In the last 1 0 years, under Governor Dean, they've allowed more than 1 0 0 0 stormwater permits to expire—permits designed to regulate and control the sources of runoff pollution. Not surprisingly, with no one enforcing the laws, polluters blithely ignore regulations, and in some cases never bother to build treatment systems they're required to build. Now, finally, t h e Governor says he's ready to clean up Vermont's waters. Ready to respond to laws t h a t have b e e n on the books since he first took office.

But at the s a m e time he's talking cleanup, his Agency of Natural Resources is saying it will not enforce anti-pollution laws until next September at the earliest, instead, they plan to issue general permits that allow existing pollution to continue and, worst of all, new pollution to be added to the mix. They even propose to remove Vermont's contaminated waters from federal pollution lists to avoid coming to grips with the law. In a curious, almost surreal formula, the administration

Actions Clean Better Than Words!

seems to be saying,"Old Pollution + New Pollution = Vermont's Water Cleanup Plan." To transform the Governor's laudable goals into applaudable realities, The Conservation Law Foundation calls on t h e Dean Administration to t a k e the following critical actions: 1 Enforce the law now! Force polluters to i m m e d i a t e l y comply with state and federal clean ,.ater laws. 2 . Stop re-issuing permits to old polluters until they provide a specific and enforceable cleanup guarantee. 3 . Don't i s s u e any new permits until a clear cleanup strategy is in place. 4 . Clean up your own mess first! Require the state transportation agency to immediately address pollution from the state's road system. W e hate to remind you of this, but the Dean administration has been neglecting Vermont's w a t e r pollution ^ problems for ten years. So, before anyone applauds their new cleanup plan, let's see if they really intend to clean things up. Or if they're just trying to muddy t h e water.

SNOWMOBILING LETTER ABSURD Andrew Nemethy's letter about snowmobiling ["Weekly Mail," October 24] was so absurd it made me laugh out loud. He claims that backcountry skiers cause "disruption and threat" to wildlife because they can "silently wander anywhere in the woods and thus sneak up on and startle" them. Meanwhile, snowmobiles have to "practically shove moose and deer off the trails." Did you write that with a straight face, Andrew? Despite the amusement factor in Mr. Nemethy's letter, this is a very serious issue. Americans are currently enduring terrorist attacks and fighting a war in the Middle East partly because of our dependence on Middle Eastern oil just so Mr. Nemethy and his ilk have the "freedom" to roar around in the woods in the winter polluting the atmosphere, scaring wildlife and destroying the peace and quiet. It makes me sick. — Tom Fugate Moretown CITY COUNCIL J U S T FOLLOWING T H E PEOPLE Peter Freyne tells us ["Inside Track," October 24] that with regard to dissenting from American military policy in Afghanistan, "The distinguished [Burlington] politicians of the left continue to lay low. Their check of which way the wind's blowing

finds public opinion polls showing overwhelming support for President George W. Bush and his war on Afghanistan." But several paragraphs later, he has this to say: "After all, when the people lead, the leaders always follow." You can't have it both ways, Peter. You can't tell us a) that the people overwhelmingly support the war; b) that leaders ought to follow the people; and c) that the Burlington City Council is wrong not to pass a resolution critical of the war. Admit it: Just like the pundits on the right, you believe that a politician's courage or cowardice depends not on the extent to which they follow public opinion, but the extent to which he or she follows yours. — William G. Scheller Waterville THE PLANE TRUTH Much has been said recently about how the terrorist attack should not change "our way of life." I hope that our response to these attacks does include, a change in some of our patterns of consumption because I think that our way of life is part of the problem. Much of our current unsustainable standard of living depends on oil from Muslim exporting countries, which supply approximately 27 percent of the oil we now consume. The terrorist attacks are apparently due in great part to the fact that our foreign policies work

to insure our access to this oil and we have supported repressive and corrupt regimes in the area because both they and we benefit from the collusion. One part of this oil consumption, air travel, seems like an area where we could make significant reductions. Now that the airline industry is facing increased costs to provide security and people are a little wary of plane travel, maybe it is time to rethink about how much we travel by plane. In addition to the security risks, there is the fuel consumption and pollution caused by jumbo jets. According to the Department of Energy, the U.S. consumes about 650 billion barrels of jet fuel per year, which is about 1 0 percent of our annual oil consumption. In terms of CO2 emissions, air travel per passenger mile generates 0.9 pounds per passenger mile or an average of 835 pounds per trip. A lot of business travel could be replaced by teleconferencing and shorter trips could be made by more efficient forms of transportation, such as train and bus. Pleasure travel could be eliminated or greatly reduced. There are lots of exciting things to do close to home, particularly here in Vermont. My grandparents never flew and rarely left their state of origin. However, they seemed just as happy with their "way of life" as our current generation that seems to think that flying is an unlimited

right. Yes, cutting back on air travel will hurt part of our economy in the short term, but in the long term the economy we will have to make the adjustment anyway, because the world is running out of oil and sustainable energy resources don't work for planes. When we couple reduced air travel with other forms of reduction in oil consumption, such as driving more fuel-efficient vehicles, we will help to reduce terrorism and help the planet, which is the source of all of our life. — George Plumb Washington LEAHY SKETCH IN POOR TASTE Although Susan Green's account of Leahy's grim predictions ["Prepared for the Worst?" October 24] was informative and thought-provoking, I found the accompanying illustration — also on your cover — disturbing, sensational and even tasteless. With a brusque, cartoon flair, Tim Newcomb sketched the image of the smoking twin towers that was burned onto our brains on Sept. 11. But above this horror, Senator Leahy's face sports a nasty smirk: He resembles the Grinch, the Joker and other comic strip villains who lack the capacity for grief and compassion.

Bernie Stays Put Make no mistake, he wanted to run for governor. But even for a political superstar like Bernie Sanders, the impact of September 11 has simply been too much to overcome. Things have changed. As everyone knows, Vermont's firebrand Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders announced Tuesday he will pass on a bid for Vermont's open governor's seat next year. Instead, he'll stay right where he is and spend another two years flying the friendly skies weekly between Vermont and Washington. It was a tough decision, one OF Bernardo didn't reach until last weekend. "The idea of being governor of this great state is something that I've dreamed about," said Sanders, "but right now I can't walk away from the responsibilities that I have in Congress." No one has been more eagerly anticipating Bernie's decision than Anthony Pollina, the 2000 gubernatorial candidate of the Vermont Progressive Party who's pointed toward a 2002 rerun. With Bernie out, Anthony's path is clear. "I feel energized," Pollina told Seven Days following the Sanders announcement. "The bottom line is, Vermont will continue to have the best congressman in America," he said. "Now all we need is someone in Montpelier who'd do as good a job as Bernie." Make no mistake, Mr. Pollina thinks he's that guy. That means a three-way contest between Tony the Prog, Doug Racine the Democrat and Jim Douglas the Republican. What fun!

"And then you've got the most compelling balance," said St. Patrick. "Think about this — a lawyer and a doctor. Now there's a hell of a combination!" . The audience roared as Leahy joked that he didn't know which ticket sounded better, DeanEdwards or Edwards-Dean? W o r l d C i t i z e n Loses P l a n e —

The first time 83-year-old Garry Davis had an airplane problem was in the sky over Germany. His B-17 was shot down while bombing Werner Von Braun's heavy-water laboratories. Davis survived a crash-landing in Sweden and was taken prisoner. Three months later he escaped. After the war, Mr. Davis stepped into the spotlight of the world stage in Paris when he declared himself a "citizen of the world." The inevitable rivalry of nation-states only leads to continuous war, he notes, and for the past 50 years, Mr. Davis has remained true to his cause. In August, Davis flew his own plane, a 1963 Navion Rangemaster, to Montreal to pick up an American citizen who'd been denied U.S. entry after a visit to Canada last year. Shirley Kermali, said Davis, was born in St. Croix — U.S. territory — but is illegitimate and has no birth certificate. While detained in Canadian custody, she applied to Davis' World Service Authority (www.worldser vice.org) for help. O n August 1, Garry flew her from Dorval to the Burlington Airport and immediately taxied to the U.S. Customs station. There Ms. Kermali was arrested and Davis' aircraft impounded. She is currently incarcerated in Maine, trapped in immigration limbo. Davis insisted he did nothing wrong and followed proper procedure to the letter. U.S. Attorney Peter Hall told Seven Days, "We're continuing to try to negotiate to reach a fair resolution so he can get his plane back." Stay tuned.

S p e a k i n g of D o u g R a c i n e — Democrat Lt. Gov.

Doug Racine had his gubernatorial coming-out Saturday in Montpeculiar with a fiery speech at the Vermont Democrat fall fundraiser. And he went right after his Republican rival, Jim Douglas. "Now don't get me wrong," said Racine, "Jim Douglas is a nice man, but Democrats have led wisely and responsibly, and Jim Douglas isn't going to fool anybody when he tries to deny that." Racine was countering Slim Jim's recent crack that Racine "may be a nice guy, but we can't afford to turn over Vermont's checkbook" to him. Doug rattled off a litany of his party's fiscal achievements, from lowering the income tax and reforming public education to paying off state debt and winning Vermont its highest bond rating in 30 years. "I will not let that record of accomplishment — our record of accomplishment — be forgotten as this campaign unwinds," he declared with pride. The Richmond auto dealer also publicly acknowledged what some consider his greatest shortcoming. "A lot of you have told me that I'm kind of a quiet person," said Racine. "Many of you in the room have told me I'm too quiet a person. But do_ not doubt my spirit. Do not doubt my resolve nor my endurance nor my passion." The Quiet Man spoke proudly of his FrenchCanadian roots and the values instilled in him. "Do not doubt what is in my heart," said Doug. "I am ready for this race and I am ready to be governor of the state of Vermont."

Curses, Foiled A g a i n A man showed up at a bank in Middletown, Connecticut, at 3:08 p;m. wearing a mask and carrying a note. Unfortunately for him, the bank closed at 3 o'clock. Bank employees stood inside watching the man pull on the locked door before he gave up and fled in a truck. A police sergeant said he witnessed the suspect throw his mask and the hold-up note out the truck window. Shortly after, Michael Maslar, 45, surrendered without incident. • Norwegian police investigating the robbery of a post office by a man who pulled a pair of underpants over his head found their work easier because the robber had written his hold-up note on the other side of a piece of paper containing his wife's name and other personal details. According to the Bergensavisen newspaper, when the 47-year-old suspect appeared in court, he said he had been too drunk to recall the incident. He did admit that he suspected he had been up to something, however, when he woke up the next day and found a large wad of money in his living room.

S m a r t Set Philips Consumer Electronics Company has patented a device to let viewers avoid commercials they don't want to watch. TV sets will have a built-in disc drive that plays a program back a few seconds after recording it. During the short delay, the set looks for signs of commercials: picture fades, Internet domain names, logos and product slogans. It then checks the viewer's personal profiles to see if he or she has indicated objections to this ad. When it finds a match, the TV switches the screen to a pre-recorded scene selected by the viewer.

Ever Was?

ast week, I made my second trip to New York City and "Ground Zero" since the events of September 11. Probably I should say "9/11," the way other people do, just as they now say "24/7" to signify anything that takes place around the clock. The great, smoking hole that used to be the twin towers of the World Trade Center inspires me with the same awe it did when I first saw it, but not with the same anger. Call me unpatriotic, but Osama bin Laden isn't the only one now with innocent blood on his hands. In the more than 50 "24/7s" that have passed since 9/11, Americans have done their own share of killing and terrorizing. My guess is that there are rather more than 4000 people "still missing" in Afghanistan in the wake of our bombing raids — 4000 being roughly the number of persons murdered in New York whose bodies, or parts of bodies, or pulverized, etherized bodies, can't be found and never will be found, "cloI sure" be j damned. Ask most J New Yorkers J what they think and, typically, they'll tell you: "We're breathing them. They're J in our lungs." Flags are still flying all over Manhattan; the Marathon was a great success, but most people I know in the city have stopped reading, watching or listening to the news. Many of them want to move away, and a few already have. I look in my computer and wonder what I might have been writing about today if it weren't for 9/11 and all those 24/7s since. Like many writers, I keep a "morgue" file, where I save articles, e-mails and essays that I think might one day be useful. A new book claims that Adolf Hitler was gay, for example — as if this were an explanation for Nazism. Ditto George Friedrich Handel — as if "homosexuality" could write The Messiah. An e-mail flies through asking me for money to "Kill bin Laden!" What? Where? How? Another

promises "the first-ever diet that anesthetizes you while you lose weight!" They all seem puny and beside the point in a world that, no matter what the immediate future holds, "will never be the same." Or is that just another cliche? Day to day, year to year, century to century, the world is never the same. And so predictable is this fact that it might easily be turned on its head to signify the opposite: The world is always the same, and the lessons that ought to be learned from it never are. Take this for ostriches: The department of education in Gauteng, described as "the most important province in South Africa," recently banned most of Shakespeare's works from the school curriculum, because "they have unhappy endings, lack cultural diversity and fail to promote the South African constitution's rejection of racism and sexism." Leaving aside the nation involved, there's nothing here that would surprise anyone on

what you might call the other side's "togetherness." In the case of "Islam" and Afghanistan, this is guaranteed. In the case of bin Laden, it's just what he wants: A class of sixth-graders could do a better job than our intelligence agencies have in predicting which way this maniac will go. We could find him, torture him, shoot him and string him up by his heels like Mussolini, and another bin Laden would rise up to take his place before you could say "God is great!" This, too, is guaranteed. In Darien, Connecticut, where I'm writing this, my brother's church is in turmoil, because its Reverend delivered a sermon asking the congregation to think rather than react, to put aside its fear and prejudice and understand that "the terrible events of September 11 did not happen in a vacuum caused solely by a network of evil men." The 15 wealthiest people on Earth currently have a net worth that exceeds the combined GDPs of all SubSaharan Africa. ' Around the world, 50 million people will die this year of easily preventable diseases, starvation and malnutrition. Twelve million of them will be under the age of 5. "And you and I could have saved them," the Reverend said, "but we won't, and I believe we need to talk about why." Whereupon Connecticut WASPs lived up to their name and began to sting the bearer of news: "Oh, no! We're good people, they're bad people." As it was, is now and ever shall be. Amen. As a point of interest, this green and leafy part of Fairfield County has lately been invaded by packs of wild coyotes, looking for food, presumably, in what remains of a natural habitat. You can hear them howling loudly and, as winter sets in, they start earlier every night. ®

an American college campus. Julius Caesar "elevates men." The Taming of the Shrew is "undemocratic," Hamlet "pessimistic" and King Lear "full of violence and despair." Not only that, but Shakespeare's plots are "rather unlikely and ridiculous" — as opposed to, say, those in the Harry Potter books, whose film incarnation is already being touted as the means to "bring America together" in this time of crisis. More togetherness? — boom! boom! boom! — and lets go to the movies? Well, why not? People went to the movies in droves during World War II, and I have no better recommendation for a country that still doesn't know what hit it. That still hasn't learned guns and bombs don't win a thing, but only strengthen the determination of the enemy they're aimed at —

The uncorking of BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU

2001

eaujolais Nouveau began as a local phenomenon in the local bars, cafes and bistros of Beaujolais and Lyons. At one minute past midnight on the third Thursday of each November over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: "Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrive! The New Beaujolais Has Arrived!" Each fall the new Beaujolais would arrive with much fanfare. In pitchers filled from the growers' barrels, wine was drunk by an eager population. It tastes best when chilled, makes for a festive wine to be gulped rather than sipped, enjoyed in high spirits rather than critiqued.

Be among the first in Vermont to join thousands of wine drinkers around the world celebrating the harvest. We're raffling off 2 limited edition Beaujolais 2001 prints framed by S I L V E R B M A P L E

endy Houstoun hasn't seen much of wild Alaska, because she's been too busy soaking up the suds in Anchorage. Well, not really. The 43-yearold Brit is there for Happy Hour, her tipsy modern dance piece, at a make-believe pub constructed in a performance space called O u t North. When she brings the work to Burlington this weekend, it will be in a real bar -— 135 Pearl — serving as a remote site for a Flynn Center presentation. Life imitates art for Houstoun, pronounced just like the big city in Texas. WTiile merely pretending to swig from a bottle during the show, she does not distance herself from Happy Hours depiction of a sloppy drunk who laughs, cries, philosophizes, rants with anger, wallows in self-pity and waxes sentimental. "Anyone who drinks a lot has probably been there," she says during a recent telephone interview. When sloshed, "I've been known to call friends . . . so now I follow a don'tdrink-and-dial concept." The lithe, curly-haired Houstoun may not exactly embrace sobriety, but her work is far too intense to be confused with the

meandering discourse on life, love, politics and peoples idiosyncrasies accompanied by the clumsy choreography of inebriation. It's a mock stream of consciousness flowing as freely as the imaginary alcohol. "Here's to Saddam Hussein and acid rain... Here's to National Health and private wealth," Houstoun says in a video of

Dublin tend to appreciate her sly asides about consuming large quantities of alcoholic beverages. "The bar culture is big there," Houstoun points out, adding that her recent performances at P.S. 122 in New York City got laughs for a few nights, "but on Sunday, everybody looked really glum." And then there was Prague. "When I moved around, I didn't notice that half the people hadn't come with me," she recalls, laughing about the bizarre audience reaction to her Czech Republic debut. "When I came back, that group had gone completely bonkers. They were pretending to be horses, neighing and prancing. I had to stop them in order to go on with the show." When Happy Hour unfolds in a genuine bar rather than a theatrical space posing as one, Houstoun sometimes has to cope with people truly under the influence. It can get dicey when her bartender alter-ego asks the crowd, "What do you want?" She does not expect an actual answer, but a woman once shouted out: "I'll have a beer!" Even when the audience is not intoxicated, people can get carried away. "That

absolute genius," Houstoun rhapsodizes more than once before suggesting that "it's the drink talking." Should the audience interpret Happy Hour as a creative recitation of pickled poetry, or is it meant to be seen as a more in-depth anthropological study?

"Otherwise, there's nothing that's not set in the show. There's no room to go off on another tangent, but I find a kind of freedom by being very precise." Her method requires "working independently on text and movement, before putting them together. It looks in-themoment because it's very set." The monologue is all over the map, a

her piece, toasting almost everything and everyone in the universe. "Fat cats and foreign investments" are also included in this portion of the show, which leans toward social commentary. At a certain point in the evening, she leads her audience away from the bar's counter to other parts of the room. O n the dance floor, she shimmies and shakes. "The guy who wrote this song is an

sort of thing happened a little in New York. I can feel them, for the first 10 minutes, trying to grasp what's going on," Houstoun says. "My style is a little odd." That style, honed since her professional debut in 1980, wowed a dance critic for the Anchorage Daily News: "Houstoun told all sorts of silly jokes as she rolled around on the bar, flopped on the floor or even hung upside down from a bar stool," the review reads, "But the jerky angularity of some of her actions and the unexpected glimpses of something dark and frightened in her eyes betrayed this boozy good cheer." The bold athleticism of her approach has its consequences. About four years ago, Houstoun experienced back problems and was diagnosed with "missing" discs. "Some of it's the normal wear and tear, though," she says. "We all share that after a certain age. For me, it felt like a tectonic plate in my body was shifting. I don't jump as much any more. Fewer aerial moments, you know?"

n her southeast England hometown of Kent, Houstoun studied ballet as a kid, then trained in school to teach dance. Her recollection is

that "dance was the one thing I kind of kept doing, even when I wasn't in the mood for it." She began working with companies such as The Kosh, Lumiere & Son and DV8 Physical Theatre — a troupe she still goes back to when not working solo — but also supported herself with a range of quirky ^ •jobs in other fields. "I picked cherries at orchards in Kent," Houstoun says. "And I showed people around the amphibian house at the London Zoo." The amphibians found a new guide Five years ago when Houstoun received a fellowship from the Arts Council of England, enabling her to earn a living as a dancer ever since. She created a dance trilogy called Haunted, Daunted and Flaunted that toured the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States in 1997 and 1998. The New York Times raved, describing her as "a brilliant renaissance woman of the performing arts, possessed of a body that slithers and loops easily through helter-skelter configurations." Happy Hour, which has also been to^Norway and the Netherlands, is the result of Houstouns desire to stretch that slithery body, venue-wise. "I thought that, if I make another solo, why not use a place where it could be alive and different?" she suggests. "I wanted to interact with people more." An attempt to adapt the piece

Teens test their metal

BY ANNE GALLOWAY

he Christ Episcopal Church on State Street in Montpelier is a fortress-like cathedral that is sure to survive long after generations of parishioners have passed on to the glorious hereafter. The entire structure is made of rough-cut granite boulders. The only thing that distinguishes this place from a 19th-century armory is its notion of style — the crenellated tower and arched doorways are classic Gothic flourishes. Something else sets this stately old church apart from others in the capital city: Some 10 to 20 teen-agers flock here twice a week after school — and not for catechism classes, choir practice or prayers in the sanctuary. They come to fire up acetylene blowtorches and cut metal. Just past the Sunday school classrooms in the basement, a fully equipped silversmith shop doubles as a teen hang-out for students from U-32, Montpelier and Spaulding high schools. O n Mondays and • Wednesdays, they can be found chatting and listening to music as they solder rings, make wire chains and set semi-precious stones into handmade bezels. The chief alchemist in the room is Linda Hogan, a professional artist and erstwhile silversmith who in her early fifties has found her vocation — teaching. But Hogan is no school marm. She's quick with a joke and slow to reprimand. She doesn't so much hover over the kids as she does watch with affection, anticipating questions and offering solutions.

graphic design. In her spare time, she paints. Part of her effectiveness as a teacher has to do with her self-deprecating manner. Hogan does little to draw attention to herself. She wears dowdy, oversized clothing, and refrains from wearing makeup or fussing over her hair. Her presence in the room is non-threatening, almost familial. If she were a man, you'd describe her as avuncular. The scene is so low-key at the Open Door Youth Art Programs that calling them "programs" seems like a reach; the classes are more like jewelry-making sitins. Students pay $55 — scholarships are available — for 11-week classes in beginning and advanced metal and wire bending. Attendance ebbs and flows — teenagers drift in as their schedules allow. Open Door has served 150 students over the last two and a half years. Hogan

church basement with her grandmother's silversmithing tools and started teaching teens. She and David Hall got the program off the ground with a $25,000 grant from the Episcopal Church.

n Hogan's beginners' class, students learn the basics of smithing: how to cut, file and solder metal correctly. With blowtorches in the shop that heat up to 2200 degrees, Hogan also religiously goes over the safety precautions that stu-

jewelry design to creating works they can sell at the Montpelier Farmers' Market. Some have even produced a few commissioned pieces. Christina Hall, now 16, busily cuts a three-inch rectangle of brass from a sheet of the metal, files it, bends one end and puts it on a firebrick atop a granite table. Then she solders the joint: She points the acetylene blowtorch toward the corner and the blue flame turns the brass an intense red, like a wood ember in a fire. Soldering only takes a few seconds. "It's totally visual with the i! torch," Christina explains. "Heating the metal from cold to hot is really quick. The metal turns red and then the solder runs through the gap. The cool thing is, all of a sudden this solid is a liquid." After the brass piece cools, Christina puts it into "hot pickle" — sodium bisulfate, a chemical that removes the oxidized layer, called fire scale, which forms on the surface of the metal. The first section of her brass box emerges shiny and clean. At a nearby table, six teen-agers bend wire into curlicues and then link them together to make necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Maia concentrates on Egyptian chains. Leisel works on a chain of interconnected loops, winding silver wire into a spring on a tiny dowel rod, then cutting them down the middle. Dozens of rings no bigger than the head of a tack fall onto the table. Leisel then patiently links the loops together. "The chain-mail thing in the middle was a pain in the butt," she concedes. "But the whole thing probably only took two to three hours to put together." Sean, whose T-shirt reads "Porn star in training," is working on a copper, brass and silver broach for his mother. It's a complicated thing, with several pieces that fold inward on hinges to form a cityscape. When the radio blares a news bite about the war in Afghanistan, there is grumbling all around. "The stupid bombing," Sean says. But Liesel talks about joining the U.S. Navy. "Do you think I'd die if I joined?" she asks. Her friend Eliza considers the question, then offers an emphatic "No."

"Just because a kid doesn't clean UP her room oesn't mean she can't use a blowtorch." — art instructor David Hall

Hogan is a native Cape Codder, but she's fully adopted the occupational wanderlust required to live in Vermont. For most people, moonlighting in the Green Mountain State is the only way to get ahead. For Hogan it's the only way to keep going as an artist. A former disc jockey for W N C S , she currently cobbles together a living from six jobs: She runs Open Door Youth Art Programs and offers adult pastel classes through the church, subs at Montpelier High as the resident photography teacher, teaches poetry and painting at an assistedliving facility, sells digital photography through the Artisan's H a n d and dabbles in

and her classroom George Shumar, applied for and won a National Endowment for the Arts award to offer art programs to local students on inservice and vacation days. In the summer, the two work with students through Washington County Mental Health. "We have our share of kids who have issues at home, and we have a lot of kids from good homes; it's a real mix," Hogan says. "But here they just focus on their work. We teach respect, and that's the big thing. We empower them." Hogan stumbled into creating the Open Door programs about three years ago. She gave a metalsmithing class for the congregation at Christ Episcopal Church. Christina Hall was so taken with it that she begged her church-rector father David to ask Hogan to offer classes to high school students. "I thought it was so cool how you could take two things and solder them together," Christina says. And so Hogan set up shop in the :2001

dents must to adhere to in the workshop. David Hall says students diligently follow the rules. "We've never had a problem," he says. "Just because a kid doesn't clean up her room doesn't mean she can't use a blowtorch. This is one of the gifts we give the kids. We trust them." In the jewelry studio, students have what they need to make just about anything. The walls are lined with neatly displayed tools: pliers of every size and description, hoops of wire, picks, mandrills for sizing rings and bracelets, wire cutters. Each of several dozen hammers has a different purpose. Ballpeen hammers are used for texturizing metal; planishing hammers for smoothing; chasing hammers for tooling; and forging hammers for flattening. An "odds 'n' sods" box holds bits and pieces of metals that can be recycled. There's a buffering wheel on a bench. Hold a piece of dull copper against the wire bristles — turning at 3450 rpm — and the copper buffs up like glass. Base metals, like half round and square silver wire, and sheet copper and brass fill a corner. Hogan keeps a variety of semiprecious stones, such as hematite, lapis lazuli and green gumdrop-colored chrysophases, in fishing tackle boxes. The students are free to make whatever t h ^ want; " ^ h i s isn t schodl, we don't give assignments," Hogan says. "I just try to keep up with what they want." Hogan's relaxed, tolerant approach has paid off. Many advanced students have graduated from the Mother's Day genre of

ave LeCours, a Hardwick native from a family with a strong hunting-and-fishing tradition, knew at a young age he wanted to be a game warden. He even found a mentor in the field who inspired him to write high school and college research papers on the subject. Now 40, LeCours has been a game warden in central Vermont for 18 years — one of 30 currently working in the state. Normally, he covers Barre town and city, Berlin, Northfield, Orange, Washington and Wiliiamstown, But since June, he's been filling in for the vacant district chief slot at the Fish and Wildlife Department's Williston-based regional headquarters. On the eve of the deer hunting rifle season, he describes a job that involves delight and danger. V

Seven Days: What was it about this career that attracted you? Dave LeCours: I lived to hunt and fish. So, what, better job could there be? Little did I realize that's the last thing we get to do, because the best times to hunt and fish are my busiest at work. I guess I didn't agree with people violating the rules and regulations, and I thought being a game warden would kind of fit with my ideals. SD: What steps did you take to become qualified? DL: I went to Champlain College and got an associate's degree in law enforcement, because I thought that it would allow me to break into the fish-and-wildlife field. There's a lot of competition, though. I took the test. At the time, there were more than 500 applicants, but I scored high enough to get a second interview. I didn't get hired in that first batch of people. About a year later, I got the call. It was October of 1982. SD: Then what? .... DL: As a trainee, you hop around from warden to warden around the state every four or five weeks. You're exposed to the greatest variety of fish and wildlife knowledge as you possibly can within a years time. You're living out of a suitcase. Also within that year, you have to attend the police" academy, as any law-enforcement officer does, for three months. It's almost like a boot camp. The

best way to describe what a game warden does is, he's a police officer who specializes in enforcement of fish-and-wildlife laws. SD: What happened when you finished that year's training? DL: Then you're assigned a district. I was sent to Barre in October 1984. Then, I just started knocking on a lot of doors, introducing myself. It's important to make that personal contact, so people you get to know can act as your eyes and ears. For the most part, the average game warden district in the state is about 250 square miles, roughly six towns. We can't be everywhere at once and we can't work 24 hours a day, so you need that help. SD: How did you become familiar with the terrain of 250 miles square miles? DL: You're not on marked roads for the most part. You just drive around and take walks. SD: Do you have an office in Barre? DL: We each work out of our homes. It saves on overhead and it's also convenient. SD: Are you concerned with urban areas or just the countryside? DL: We have issues with nuisance wildlife in residential areas and we do have problems with poaching — right on people's lawns sometimes. We don't really do that anymore because of department cutbacks. So, a lot of towns now have animal-control officers. Wildlife rehabilitators are one aspect of it. And trappers. SD: How might an ordinary day go for you? DL: That depends on what, time of year. There's a multitude of hunting seasons in Vermont. Rifle season starts November 10. Bow-and-arrow deer hunting has just ended. Moose season, too. We have bear season still going on, goose hunting, duck hunting, fishing to a great extent, and small game — rabbits, ruffed grouse, gray squirrels. SD: Hmm. I never think of the squirrels in my back yard as food. So, apart from the various hunting seasons, what's ordinary? DL: There's probably no such thing as a typical

day. If there's a rabid animal attacking someone's dog, we might be called in to put that animal down. We handle complaints about hunting violations that have been witnessed, like people shooting at deer from their vehicles. We deal with roadkill deer. If it's salvageable, we'll try to utilize the deer for a game supper or a church dinner. Only if it's not decomposed. . . SD: Have there been any memorable encounters during your 18 years on the job? DL: In the late 1980s, the day before Thanksgiving, I was watching a place in Wiliiamstown with three illegal does hanging up. . . The poachers showed up in the evening of the second day... I kept trying to call for assistance, but I was unable to reach anybody. I went out in the field to stop them and I heard their engine revving. They were coming after me, trying to run me down. So I jumped out of the way. Then the two guys got out of their truck and started coming toward'me. I was able to use my head to talk them down. Help finally arrived and they were arrested. SD: Yikes! DL: Usually poachers are trying to get away, rather than assault me. SD: So, what's the up side of being a game warden? DL: Sometimes it's funny and scary at the same time. In 1998, I'm looking under a porch in Barre town with my flashlight and, all of a sudden, I hear something slam against the latticework right beside me. It's a skunk's head coming through, trying to bite my arm. So I back away and go over to my vehicle to get something to prod it out — I can't shoot it [near the house] because of the stench issue. I'm reaching into my truck when 1 realize it's followed me. It's at my boot now. I jump straight up in the air because it's underneath me, I do a sort of split and hop on a snow bank. It's still chasing after me. I'm quicker than the skunk, though, so I run back to the truck and shoot it with a small-caliber gun. I've had several situations similar to that with rabid animals. — Susan Green

ne Tuesday evening in November 1997, Robie Wilson and William Hill got into a Ford Bronco. "It was around six p.m. when they spotted the jogger," Ron Powers writes ominously in Tom and Huck Don't Live Here Anymore: Childhood and Murder in the Heart of America. In these days of casual adolescent murders, it's all too easy to imagine the rest: The 16-year-olds, just looking for something to do, sped up to James Walker. They decided to "door him" — to open the Bronco's passenger door in his face at 50 mph. They missed on the first try, turned around and came back to execute the fatal maneuver.

Six weeks later, another shock came to the small town of Hannibal, Missouri: Two more teen-agers, Zachary Wilson and S5/PERS0N F0H SHOUJ. FULL MENU REJRI1HBLE SEHTIHGS 6 & 8 Diane Myers, were arrested for the murder of Diane's grandfather, J.D. Poage. These two crimes are at the L U N C H M - F 11:30-2 • FRI-SAT center of latest from Pulitzer 4:J0-10 • SUN-TH 4:JO-9 Prize-winning Powers, situated in 1 8 5 P E A R L ST, B U R L I N C T O N a place that bills itself as 864-7917 "America's H o m e Town" — the boyhood home of both Powers and Mark Twain, author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In the prologue to Tom and Huck, Powers notes Americans flee to small towns to recapture a sense of security for their children. How, then, he wonders, has Hannibal — and America, by extension — stumbled into an era when the murderers are adolescents, "the very 'children' that towns are presumed to nurture?" The answers he gives are informed by 150 years of Hannibal's history. Powers draws on Twain's memories of the town in the mid-19 th century, his reflections of his own post-World War II boyhood there and observations of the contemporary city. Though the answers are ultimately inconclusive, Tom and Huck

— part crime story, part memoir and part sociological analysis — is as insightful as it is disturbingly compelling. Powers delivers a layered indictment of a society disconnected both from the natural world and from Tom and Huck's dreaded but necessary "sivilization" — two forces that temper violence. The strength of his case is in the details; he sifts through the crime scene of contemporary American childhood and produces evidence of shameful neglect. * Powers observes that Twain, in his autobiography, could "call back the solemn twilight and mystery of the deep woods. The

bounded by a chain-link fence... Diesel gas plazas and terminally unfinished budget motels wedged into bulldozed, grassless earth commanded the landscape. It was a minimecca of stations. " Powers laments that America's children are becoming increasingly detached from their surroundings. "Generations of children, in Missouri and elsewhere," he writes, "would call back similar memories of sacred place and draw on them to reinforce their identities and sense of connection to a meaningful world." This process, he argues, is growing increasingly difficult, leaving children disconnected and unmoored.

Tom and Huck — part crime story, part memoir and part sociological analysis — is as insightful as it is disturbingly compelling. earthy smells, the faint odors of the wild flowers, the sheen of the rain-washed foliage..." Now, says Powers, kids are more likely to grow up in places that have been "denatured and demythified by the harsh architecture of colonizing commerce" — places like Hannibal. Powers pays close attention to the colors of this modern landscape — the strident reds and yellows and oranges of the gas stations and fast-food franchises — and to the signs advertising beer or Beanie Babies or positive attitudes. In a chapter called "Stored Children," the author describes "The Children's Station," a nonprofit daycare center: "a squat little outpost of pale brick in a lawn sprinkled with swings and plastic slides

He also turns a critical eye toward the scant remains of Hannibal's "social capital." A sociological concept, social capital divides the "sivilizing" impulse of a community into four interrelated elements: "trust, cooperation, civic engagement and reciprocity." The Hannibal of Powers' youth — with its local shops, duty-bound Patrol boys and active 4 - H clubs — seems to have had an abundance of social capital. That Hannibal, according to Powers, no longer exists. Its small-town merchants have been driven off by Wal-Mart, its farms have been sold or industrialized, and its manufacturing base has evaporated.

RON POWERS C D - W R I T E R O F F l A S S OF OUR FATHERS muring to their isolated homes. Says town archivist Henry Sweet, "It's almost as though we're engineering ourselves away from community." All of this has contributed to the dismal prospects for H a n nibal's young people. Missouri has the seventh-highest number of street gangs in the nation. Twenty-one percent of its families live below the poverty line. And by the late 1990s, the high school dropout rate was 27 percent. Powers is convincing as he methodically presents the extent of the damage. H e integrates statistics without losing the punch of his narrative. H e excels at delivering supporting details, especially when he's investigating rural subcultures like the "souvenir and kitsch-mongers" at the annual "Folklife Festival," now devoid of its vital agricultural roots. But though his exploration into the causes of the two crimes is urgent and upsetting, Powers' hnest achievements in Tom and Huck are his thoughtful, elegiac portraits of the victims. O f jogger Jim Walker and his wife Virginia, he writes: There were thousands of people like the Walkers still in Hannibal, hundreds of thousands, millions, in towns and suburbs and cities like that around the country: people of a certain age who had not seen it coming; people who lacked the wherewithal, the right magazine subscriptions, the money, the curiosity, perhaps, the elasticity of youth, the simple enabling catharsis of a bad encounter, to understand that the world they thought they inhabited was a phantom one. It

had given way to a world scarcely detectable by their accustomed perceptions, until one day it lurched suddenly into the foreground and crushed them. T h e teen-agers themselves, however, mostly evade Powers' prying gaze. Only Robie and Zachary Wilson — cousins by marriage — have any voice at all. We never learn much about William Hill or Diane Myers. Even the chapter, " W h o is Robie Wilson?" ends up with Powers' statement: "There was no such person as Robie Wilson, certainly not as defined by the acutely abstracted public universe that governed the lives of American adolescents." This is frustrating from a narrative standpoint, but is clearly somewhat intentional. Powers admits he's hesitant to probe too deeply into their inner lives out of respect for their privacy. He prefers to preserve their inscrutability, to let them remain somewhat unfixed by their crimes. Probably Powers also prefers to stick to his own more reliable interpretations of the events. Communicating across the generation gap is a tricky business, as anyone who has tried to gain a teen-ager's trust knows. "The true heart of any adolescent is notoriously elusive," Powers reminds us. "Adolescents are nothing if not conditional — improvising moods, attitudes and alternate personas almost from m o m e n t to moment." But that seems to be the attitude of the society that ignores them; Powers might have delved deeper. Also frustrating, though probably inevitable given the

scope of the book, is Powers' comparatively shallow treatment of his female subjects. This is mainly a book about fathers and sons and boys and boyhood, and that leaves the young murderer Diane Myers an integral, yet mostly unexamined, piece of the puzzle. In the chapter "Family Services," Powers relates the ordeal of a family who struggles to retain custody of their daughter. Alter he interviews the,girl, however, he realizes that her voice "was so soft and hesitant that it did not register as audible on the cassette recorder" — not unlike the way her voice, as well as Diane's, barely make it into this book. Though Powers' intimate, first-person perspective contributes an invaluable intensity, it also serves to raise questions that he doesn't — or can't — answer. He traces his own connection to violence in Hannibal back to his relationship to his late brother, Jim, but he is unable to provide much insight into his brother's life. "I turn to photographs in old scrapbooks to this day," Powers writes, "trying to recover an intimate sense of my brother Jimmy, and to this day find only a stranger." This ambiguity leaves too many unanswered questions, likely as much for the author as well as for the reader.

New Yorkers seek refuge in the Green Mountain State

After September 11, "there are so many people going there that Vermont is going to be the next New York." — New York Magazine, October 8, 2001

veryone has a story about September 11. I won't bore you with mine. But here's the weird thing. A month before it happened, my partner and I, both lifelong New Yorkers, packed up our kids, pets and decades of possessions that had been crammed into our brownstone, and moved to Burlington. I don't know why we did it. It just seemed like the right time to leave the city.

In retrospect, it's downright eerie that just weeks before the bombings we felt compelled to give up our view of lower "Manhattan for one of Burlington's South End. This single, momentous, well-timed change in our lives explains why we started to get all those e-mails and phone calls on September 12. Our large network of friends and acquaintances — the kind of people you pick up when you spend a decade on the same block with two dogs and two young children — suddenly remembered that we were no longer there, in the midst of all the toxic smoke and debris, but here, enjoying ridiculously blue skies and a safe city. Suddenly, all those New Yorkers who had mocked us for leaving and sneered at the perceived lack of culture, interesting people or good restaurants anywhere north of the George Washington Bridge were wondering if we knew of a good realtor, and what the Burlington schools are like. O f course, New Yorkers moving to Vermont is hardly news. City people have been escaping to Vermont for decades. When my partner and I first started thinking about leaving — around the time Giuliani was re-elected mayor and all the artists in our neighborhood were replaced with investment bankers — Burlington came up a lot. We'd heard it was a city with enough urban funk to keep even the most overstimulated of city slickers happy. After we got serious and put a bid on a house, a couple of friends here, former New Yorkers themselves, invited us to their monthly brunch. O f the 12 families involved, eight of them were from the city. But what changed after September 11 is that hardened New Yorkers who had never contemplated living in the suburbs, let alone leaving the metro region, started having Vermont fantasies. Take my friend Tony who, like everyone else interviewed for this story, wa5 reluctant to give his full name — or in this case, byline. Tonys got a fabulous job at a big New York daily. His wife is a public school teacher. These two are so committed to the city that they never even considered private school for their kids, having a yard with a swing set, or living in a place bigger than a thousand square feet. After the attack on the World Trade

Center, Tony still stood firm in his commitment to the city; no way was he was going to leave New York, especially with it under siege. Just a few weeks later, Tony had to call his wife and tell her he was quarantined in his office, that some anthrax had been found, that she should tell the children he was fine — even though he had no idea whether he really was. That's when Tony started thinking about leaving New York. The same was true for Donna and Marie, who also have two young children. One is a public school teacher, a lifelong New Yorker and responsible for an aging mother. The other has been in the city all her adult life and always felt blessed to live there. Together Donna and Marie rehabilitated an old brownstone, got their children into one of the city's most prestigious schools and became fixtures in their neighborhood. Their children's father also lives in the city and, because he works in the theater, could not possibly leave. Yet, there they were, thinking about moving to Burlington, calling realtors, checking out schools. "We thought about leaving because of September 11th," said Donna. "It would never have occurred to us otherwise... New York seems vulnerable now, no matter how many state troopers are around. Bridges, tunnels, subways really freak me out." Donna's not the only one who feels unsafe in New York. Barbara, another lifelong New Yorker, has already been to Burlington once to look for a new home for her family, and is returning in a few weeks. She is afraid to raise her child in New York. "I can think up too many scenarios of what they can do drop some anthrax on the subway, walk into a crowded store wearing a bomb in a backpack," Barbara muses. "If I can think up these scenarios, then surely the terrorists can, too... And these people who say there's no safe place, they're just wrGng," she continues. "It's the big cities that are in danger, not the whole country." Barbara says she's always fantasized about moving to Vermont. "It was more of a retirement plan before," she concedes, "but after September 11th we knew we wanted to get the hell out now." There are more people like her. The friends who came up last weekend to look at real estate did so not because of September 11 th, but because getting to and from work since then has been a nightmare. I have other friends coming up over the winter holidays to look for a house. I know two New York families who are thinking about buying a place together in Vermont, with enough room for children and a horse.

he e-mails and phone calls keep coming. In my former city parents' group, which has more than 20 families, all but one are seriously contemplating getting out of the city. More than a few of them are considering Burlington. The urge to flee is understandable, especially for parents of young children. At! first I thought it was just our friends eyeing the Queen City. After all, we planted the idea in their heads. But I have started to run into other refugees from New York, many of them still looking dazed and lost. One couple had already sold their place in the city and put down a bid on a house here. O n e Upper West Side couple, Ruth and Richard, placed an ad in the newspaper to sublet their apartment immediately after the bombing. They packed their cilothes and baby into their car and headed north. Prior to September 11, leaving the city was a fantasy for Ruth and Richard. But as fate would have it, she had resigned from her publishing job and begun life as a full-time mother on September 10. Richard, who freelances from home, was ready to get out of town even before the attacks. "Not many people i would have had the flexibility to just pick up and leave," Ruth acknowledges, "but there was a real change in the city, a real i weight and sadness... I was not unhappy to leave." Burlington's gatekeepers — the real estate and employment agencies that make any move possible — support this admittedly anecdotal evidence of an exodus from the Big Apple. Each of six realtors I contacted has had at least one or two calls from New Yorkers moving here because of the bombing. Brian Boardman, an owner-broker at Hickok and Boardman Realty in Burlington, thinks it's a trend. Boardman himself moved here from a career on Wall Street a decade ago. He says he's had "tons of calls" from people looking to leave the city. His firm advertises in New York area newspapers, so Boardman routinely gets calls from people

A couple of World Trade Center survivors take Manhattan — upstate | BY PAULA ROUTLY

ruce Stephan was already a "survivor" when he went to work in the north tower of the World Trade Center on September 11. In 1989 the upper deck of the San Francisco Bay Bridge dropped out from under him during the Loma Prieta earthquake. Although his car fell more than 20 feet and crashed through the lower roadway, it miraculously got hung up in the bridge support legs, allowing him to escape with relatively minor injuries. He recalls, "I had the most photographed car in America." Although the tectonic shift in California shook him up considerably, it didn't lead to a fundamental lifestyle change. "I thought I'd appreciate life more, but I eventually became more of a workaholic," says Stephan, 45, a "project management" consultant who grew up in New York. All that's changed after narrowly escaping a second near-death experience in lower Manhattan. After two close calls, he concedes, "it was time to re-evaluate." Joan and Bruce Stephan got to their respective offices just minutes before two M hijacked airliners crashed into the World Trade Centers. He reported to the 65th floor of the north tower, while his wife went to the 91st floor of the south tower. As they negotiated crowded stairwells to escape the building, each had good reason to believe the other was dead. Telling the story afterwards became so wrenching for Stephan, he wrote up a 10-page e-mail detailing the ordeal. It starts, "How can I not believe in miracles when both Joan and I

couple — both of whom hold law degrees — decided the time was right to relocate upstate and pursue their dream of buying a bed and breakfast. While both hope to maintain their jobs through telecommuting, they've traded the Upper West Side of Manhattan for the upper west side of Lake Champlain. "We packed up our stuff Friday and here we are," Stephan says of the historic "Cupola House" they are renting in Essex, New York — a quick ferry ride from Charlotte. Getting out of the city was tougher than expected. "We had a really hard time getting a moving truck. The rental company said twice as many people as normal are moving out, and less people are moving in." Stephan feels he may be out in front of a wave of people trading the fast pace of Manhattan for the pristine beauty and quiet comfort of the north. Numerous friends have asked him to "keep an eye out for a log cabin for us." Stephan insists it wasn't "terror" that drove him from Manhattan. "Our experience made us realize how short and precious life really is," he says. "It was time to live our dreams rather than talking about them."

THE FOLLOWING I S E X C E R P T E D FROM AN E-MAIL C I R C U L A T E D TO F R I E N D S BY B R U C E S T E P H A N : W h e n the first plane hit the north tower on about the 90th floor, it was nowhere near as dramatic as you would think on the 65th floor, just 25 floors down. There was a definite explosion, but it did not sound that bad. There was a big flash of light. The really scary part was how much the building moved, and kept moving, for a long time before re-stabilizing. At the same time we saw out the window that flaming pieces of the building were flying past. People on the floor were a little confused: Should we stay there or start to evacuate? The floor wardens with their red hats had not yet mobilized to give us instructions. They probably would have suggested we stay in the hall and wait for an announcement. My survivor instinct kicked in. I screamed at the top of my lungs that people should get to the stairs.

As I ran down the block next to the old church toward Broadway, I saw the looks of horror on the onlookers' faces and knew I did not want to look back. I saw one policeman scream that another body was falling and then quickly turn his head away. There was nothing I wanted to see back in that building. Those were not images I could bear to imprint on my memory cells so they could haunt mefordecades to come. I moved fast, searching only for a free phone. Even on the back streets all the phones had lines. Inside, I thought, would be available phones. Suddenly I saw a synagogue and ran inside. There was a phone in the back I could use, the rabbi told me. Shaking, I ran back and waited a few minutes for the one other person who had thought of using the phone to get finished. After a try or two, I got through to Joans family and found out that she was alive and had already called in. Now all the emotions that were hiding inside me broke out. My sister-in-law told me that I was laughing and crying at the same time.

Boardman has already sold homes to urban refugees, people who have the option of selling a ridiculously overpriced city house and buying one here without even thinking about finding jobs. A lot more people are coming to look. Staige Davis, owner of Lang Realtors, says he's received numerous calls about the Burlington area from city dwellers anxious to escape. Five to 10 people have made appointments to start house shopping. Debbi Burton, an agent at RE/MAX North, has noticed people from New York and Boston in particular are partial to Burlington. These are people, she says, who don't want "country," but a smaller city. Burton is showing houses to a couple of clients who had had careers in New York's financial district. Tia Trottier, of Palmer and Associates employment agency in Burlington, confirms that Wall Street resumes are pouring into her office. I have no right to begrudge New Yorkers migrating north. But like every newly minted flatlander, I would love to close the borders behind me. My overprotectiveness of place mingles with the incredible survivor's guilt I have about getting out just in time. And so I open my home and my heart to these new refugees. I give them my realtor's number, I tell them everything I know about the local schools, I take them to the best places to buy food and books and postcards of idyllic Vermont — safe, at least for now, and far removed from the collapsed infrastructure of Manhattan. After all, if Vermont is the new New York, then New York may be the new Beirut. And that is reason enough to embrace the exodus. (7)

"I'm going to leave office with $100 million in the bank," he boasted to reporter King. As Dean listened to the sound of his own voice coming out of yours truly's tape recorder, his eyes widened. He realized he'd been caught. He smiled sheepishly and quipped, "Well, it won't be $100 million anymore!" But Deans "truth-telling" test had only just begun. Postal officials were gathered in the lobby to present the governor with a framed, enlarged replica of the brand-new "United We Stand" American flag stamp that went on sale that morning. Not exactly major news, but for our favorite presidential hopeful, a chance to play the red, white and blue card is always hard to resist. But Dean was in for a surprise. The framed "United We Stand" stamp was late in arriving, so Jerry Reen, the colorful postmaster from Lyndonville, killed some time by regaling those in attendance with a little "mail story," as he called it. With Dean at his side, Mr. Reen told reporters about an encounter with the governor a few years back. "The governor came to St. Johnsbury one day," said Reen, "at a time we were talking about health care in Vermont, a singlepayer program. I'm sure it was a slip of the tongue," he said, "but the governor said a single-payer program run by the government wouldn't work. It would be akin to having the postal service run it." "I never said that," exclaimed an embarrassed Dean. Heard that one before, haven't we?

Yours truly wrote Vermont's C.J. Cregg back. We wanted to ascertain just when "after hours" is, and also asked for an "after hours" phone number for Kate. And we inquired what Ms. Allen's current state salary was. Within one minute of hitting the send button, the phone rang. It was Sweet Sue, only all the sweetness had left her. She began by asking, "Can I tell you something off the record?" As a former journalist, Ms. Allen knows "off the record" is a technique utilized by government officials to provide accurate information and perspective without leaving any fingerprints behind. Unfortunately, Sweet Sue had no information to provide other than her current state of mind. It reminded us of the day a few years ago when yours truly was alone on the elevator at the federal building with a certain Assistant U.S. Attorney. "Can I tell you something off the record?" he asked. "Sure, we replied, anticipating a juicy morsel of insider information. "F**k you," he said. "Hey," we replied laughing, "In America you can say that on the record." Dean's press secretary expressed a similar point of view. "Why are you at war with me?" Ms. Allen screamed, and we mean screamed, at the top of her lungs. "Why are you hinting in your column that I'm lying? Why are you asking about my salary?" Yours truly held back the receiver from our ear for a moment, Sweet Sue was that loud. Welcome to the Department of Weirdness Department! "I'm not at war with you," I answered. "Yes you are," she yelled. "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." We suggested Vermont's C.J. Cregg had crossed the line. That her best course of action was to end the conversation immediately and hang up. "Off the record" is not intended to be used by a government official for the sole purpose of getting in their personal digs, we told her. Ms. Allen paused and thought about it for a second. Then she said goodbye and hung up. A press secretary, after all, speaks for the boss. And yours truly knows from personal experience that there are some things a press secretary should never say Stay tuned. The tracking of the travels of our favorite presidential hopefui, we assure you, will continue, one way or another. (Z)

COUNTRY ROAD Fans of the former Burlington grrl-rockers M i S S B l i S S will remember Carol Defeciani as the sultry-voiced one. Several steps after moving to Boston and playing in other bands — most notably Qllivwer — the singer-guitarist has a new alt-country unit called L l l C k y 57. She also has a new moniker herself: Kip McCIOUd. According to interviews with the Beantown press, she just got tired of people not being able to spell her name. But Kip McCloud? Sounds like someone from an '80s TV detective series now in re-runs. But whatever. Lucky 57 are in fact on a lucky streak — including their performance in Nashville competing at the Jim Beam Country Band Search this Saturday. The quintet is one of only five acts from across the country selected for the ninth annual contest, and it's rare for a band with "alt" in their aesthetic to be chosen. But perhaps Lucky 57's new CD, lovely melancholy,filledwith catchy twang-pop, caught the judges' ears. Its songs include some penned by Burlington-based collaborator T i n k e r L e e Taylor.

BORDER LINES T h e Jesse

Winchester show at Higher Ground, originally scheduled for this Thursday, was postponed until February due to a snafu with immigration officials. One fallout from 9/11 is tighter security at international borders, including a provision that requires a 90-day wait for a work visa — it used to be 60 days. Winchester got caught in the red tape. So did Burlington's Cancer Conspiracy... sort of. Actually, CC got busted at the border for saying they were headed to Canada to record when in fact they had a show in Montreal. They'd reportedly decided to risk it, because the gig paid peanuts and a work visa costs some bucks. But you can't pull one over on the border guards these days; they went online and saw that Cancer Conspiracy were scheduled to perform. Bummer. That little fib cost the band their opening date for Oysterhead in Toronto this Wednesday. But they still had Tuesdays date with the Trey Anastasio-Les Claypool-Stewart

Copeland project in Cleveland, so all was not lost. Besides, CC's own tour will no doubt win the instru-

BLACK REBEL

SOUND BITES Vermont Public Television has come out with the perfect CD for people with incredibly short attention spans. Notes in the Air is a compilation of brief TV themes and incidental music used on popular series, such as "Rural Free Delivery," and specials including "The Farming Project" and "Vermont Memories." All the music is composed by Vermonter Peter B r u c e W i l d e r , who has w o n

three Emmys so far for his work. Of the excerpts here, the shortest is 24 seconds; the longest is just shy of three minutes. Perhaps fans of VPT could use this for a rousing living room game of "Name That Tune." For the rest of you, it's pretty — and pretty mellow — instrumental background music. To order a copy, call 1-800-866-1666, ext. 200. A NOVEL EXPERIENCE Speaking of

pretty music, Vermont composer Spencer Lewis recently received word of his appearance in a novel. A Nicholas Evans novel, at that. You may recognize Evans as the author of The Horse Whisperer, which was made in to a movie starring Robert Redford in the title role. His current book is Smoke Jumper, and near the end of it a character says: "She went downstairs and put a Spencer Lewis CD on the stereo. It was called A Sense of Place... the music was light and airy and somehow seemed right." Lewis says that Evans bought some of his recordings from a shop in Augusta, Maine, a few years ago.

The British novelist has been delving into the Lewis catalog ever since. No word yet on whether he's ordered Lewis' recent children's CD, In My Arms, or his newest instrumental disc, The Healing Distance. DO GOOD DEPT. This Sunday Vermont's reigning a cappella group R a n d o m A s s o c i a t i o n hosts, and

performs at, a benefit for the September 11th Fund, at the College Street Congregational Church in Burlington. Also on the bill are the soulful duo Tammy F l e t c h e r and Greg M a t s e s , and ris-

ing singer-songwriter Gregory D o u g l a s s with J e r e m y M e n d i c i n o .

A good cause and great sounds. SINGLE T R A C K S As it turned out,

31 bands played for Radio Bean's first anniversary party last Saturday — a party that lasted, as The Kinks once put it, "all day and all of the night." That's an impressive bash. Many happy returns! . . . Burlington comic-book artist and musician J a m e s K o c h a l k a has

returned from another triumphant art show in Portugal, where he was feted with three-course meals "and lots of wine," he happily reports. Furthermore, two French publishers are competing for rights to his "Diary" strip. Quelle decision!. . . Dinners Dunn Restaurant in JefFersonville provides a new home for an acoustic music series, the first and third Wednesdays of every month. The first is a performance, the second an open mike. Up this Wednesday are The HubcatS ... ©

AT THE ALOHA (Tastee-Tone Records, CD) — If you're even remotely interested in the combination of r&b, soul and funk, you really ought to check out Dave Keller's latest. It works on so many levels, starting with Keller's voice. In the first two tracks, "Junebug" and "It's a Struggle," there's a whiff of Stevie Wonder in his delivery, backed up by guitar work reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan's simpler stuff. Keller is a born storyteller. Struggling characters are everywhere in his lyrics, but their sadness is mixed with a determination that things will change for the better. The title track follows this pattern with a man who finds himself living in the seedy Aloha Motel: "Desk clerk said it was quiet/promised it was clean/I guess he wasn't talkin' about the needles under the bed/here in room 19." One of the best tracks is "Glory." A sense of danger lurks throughout the song, fed by the fact that it's told to a police officer. Mary Goslant's backing vocals and Jamie Masefield's mandolin touches put this one on a different plane — I could listen to it all day. "Those Old Soul Singers" seems

M3JA3JS

tailor-made for Elwood Blues' radio program, with its loving tribute to Sam McClain, Albert King, Sonny Boy Williamson and their peers. Dave Nerbak leads a smooth horn section that works well on this and the title track. There's outstanding keyboard work on virtually every song, but particularly on "Everything I Know," "It's a Struggle" and "Jellyroll Bisque." The latter is an instrumental bringing to mind a piano player in an old-time saloon. Very few of the performances here makefireworkson their own, but the composition, flow and pure , chemistry among them all is absolutely right on. Keller knows how to milk his melancholy lyrics for all they're worth. On "Superhero," he delves into the toughest relationship: the one you have with yourself. "I guess I'll play superhero/rescue myself once again/back into the burning building/to find my own worst enemy/and my dearest friend." Recorded and mixed at Madtech Recording in Berlin, Vermont, this is about as good as it gets on the local music scene. In fact, don't be surprised if Keller moves on to a bigger stage in the near future. Meanwhile, catch his CD release

concert at Montpelier City Hall Arts Center this Saturday. — Kirt Zimmer STRANGEFOLK, OPEN ROAD (What

the Folk Records, CD) — On their first post-big label, post-lineupchange album, Vermont's own Strangefolk get back down to the business of upbeat, nice-guy jam rock. The new record is called Open Road, and a lot of the songs on it take the scenic route, leisurely traveling from point A to point B, with a good degree of sauntering, along the way. Still firmly entrenched in a folksy jam mode, these songs sound great, thanks to clean production from Dan Archer. He always has a good ear for warm vintage sound, especially with the various organ/keyboard and piano parts throughout the album. A lot of repetitive, singalong choruses are tailor-made for the extended-jam format, providing familiar ground for the band's fans. "In Deep" is a good example: a regular chorus and a secondary chorus/bridge of "never gonna waste my time." It's not too adventurous, but is listener-friendly and catchy. New lead vocalist Luke Powell Smith does a good job fitting in here, keeping the Strangefolk train running smoothly, and his songwriting

contributions to this record are pretty good, too. "Leave a Message" is my favorite of these, though I also like parts of "Criminal." Smith's voice has a bit more twang than the rest of the gang's, but I like it and he sounds solid. While none of the songs on this record could be called amazing, there aren't any clunkers, either. It's an enjoyable, feel-good recording, though diehard fans might expect a little more from the band at this point. My main problem with Open Road is that all the songs are so long. Only three out of 11 are under five minutes. My ears got a little tired after a while, especially because in mosr cases the extra minute or two per song didn't add all that much. "Go to a Show" and "First Time" are both good sevenminute songs, but they might be even better as four-minute songs. But this minor quibble probably won'r prevent any Strangefolk fans from getting into a basically decent record. If you like nice guys who are good players and deliver reliable, earnest jams, Open Road is a good choice. — Colin Clary

ple's heads — starting with the ears. The sounds coming from the Amherst-based trio are a lot more layered and textured than you expect from guitar, bass and drums. That's because the synthesizer provides endless possibilities for making twisted arty jazz-rock fusion stuff, teasing the neurons in oh-so-new-century ways. Mobius introduce themselves at UVM's Slade Hall this Friday, and return to Burlington's Red Square next month.

BY SHAWN SCHEPS

n the wake of the events of

September 11, many people expressed a sense that their careers seemed unimportant and meaningless. Still, most of us have just kept on doing what we do. But 28-year-old Matthew Riley of Burlington has turned his desire for meaning into reality, and in the process has belied his "slacker" generations stereotypic reputation for apathy. Riley has been channeling his time, energy and savings into a compilation C D of Vermont musicians to benefit children who lost one or both parents in the World Trade Center attack. With the heady title of Vermont for the Wqrbk-A Golkc&mfif.n ?n. Songs Inspired by Love and Compassion, Fear and Sorrow, Hope cflnd Rebirth, the two-CD set will feature a cross section of local music. All proceeds from its sale will help fund a free, weeklong camp for traumatized kids aged 10-14 next summer. Currently in the process of incorporating his nonprofit organization — also called Vermont for the World — the charismatic Riley speaks passionately about his humanitarian effort. "I can't think of anything better," he says. "I'm gonna give people the knowledge that they know exactly where their money is going, and they'll be reminded of it every time they throw the disc in the C D player." This past summer, while attending a music festival in California, Riley had what he calls a "spiritual revelation." He decided his life was unfulfilling and quit his stable corporate job as a computer geek. To pay the bills, he became a bartender at Liquid Energy in Burlington. A few days after the World Trade Center attack, Riley found himself contemplating those recent life decisions. "I was outside staring up at the stars at 5:30 in the morning," he recalls, "after all that I've sort of been through, with quitting my job and giving up 40K a year with a full benefits package, and thinking, 'Why did I decide to quit my job to feel deeply spiritually fulfilled if I'm bartending?

In the same intuitive manner •he had left his job, the benefit idea struck him. The next day, Riley received his 4 0 I K disbursement check in the mail. To prove his seriousness to himself, he handed the $ 1000 over to his friends at Pipe Dream Studios in Burlington. Although his money will only cover one-fifth of the recording time, the studio agreed to donate the rest. Tentatively titled Camp Phoenix, the summer session will probably take place on the campus of the College of St. Joseph in Rutland, where Riley's mother is the director of development. It will focus on offering "50 to 60 children with a summer-camp experience providing as many creative outlets B&fu-ndingi* f ausiiu allows," he explains. He is in touch with a teacher network in New York City to locate the potential campers. Riley, who grew up in Castleton, sees the camp as a way "to get kids to come to Vermont and experience a little bit of this life and have them understand that the whole world isn't just a city where terrible things happen." His mother, Jo Ann Riley, has been instrumental in securing use of St. Joseph's. Though she concedes there are still "a lot of details that have to be worked out," she suggests the camp will offer children "a peaceful setting that is restful and therapeutic." Matt Riley optimistically hopes to raise $20,000 in C D sales. He needs $14,000 to secure use of the camps facilities. His mother notes they are also "trying to secure grants from individuals and private foundations who may be willing to support this project." Riley says he's experienced an "incredible outpouring" from family and friends, as well as strangers willing to volunteer. "Out of the huge pile of ash, you're seeing people realize... that they can make differences in their lives and the lives of others." Among those committed to volunteer is Vermont's nationally recognized expert in death education consulting, Franne Whitney Nelson of East Montpelier, who

has agreed to help train the camp counselors. With plans to eventually develop a Web site and market the recording out of state, Riley is first focusing on a grassroots distribution effort through businesses in Vermont. He hopes the camp will turn into an annual event that would "ultimately include any child who's suffered a traumatic loss." Call him idealistic, but Riley does recognize the enormity of his undertaking. "Right now I'm concentrating on the small," he says. "You have to see the small details first before you can see the large picture. If you get lost in the large picture, as most people tend to do, you don't end up get frustrated too easily^ As for the music on the CD, Riley wants to include "as wide a variety of styles as possible." He's still uncertain how many of Vermont's nationally known acts will be featured. "I would love to have one of the guys from Phish do something, or a name with that kind of draw. But I'm not going to beg," he says. "That's not what this is about. I think it's going to be successful whether we have the names or not." So far the biggest name committed to recording is Sean Kelly, who will record either a solo track or one with his band, The Samples. More than a dozen individuals or acts have already laid down tracks or agreed to record, including Exclamate!, Glen Schweitzer, Old Jawbone, Patrick Ficzsimmons, Meagan Walsh and Rick Redington.

"Translucent Y e l l o w S e a f o r m Persian Set, 1 9 8 3 , " by D a l e Chihuly

BY MARC AWODEY

o say that Dale Chihuly is the worlds foremost glass artist is an understatement. Critic Barbara Rose wrote that he has "literally changed the definition of glass," and dozens of other major essayists, critics and art historians concur. For nearly 30 years, Chihuly has erased the line between art and craft as he invented new approaches to this ancient medium. He has created glass installations, some of the largest pieces of art glass ever produced, and embedded neon in 22,000 pounds of ice. Some have called that side of his work "gaudy," "excessive" and "over the top." Conversely, he is also known for intimate pieces of delicate abstraction based on natural forms. Among these is his "Seaform" series. Seventeen pieces from that series, along with several preparatory drawings, are now on view at the Southern Vermont Art Center in Manchester. Many are vessels within vessels, and all are densely layered with transparent color and undulating shapes. "Pink and White Seaform Set" comprises two interior pieces nested in a larger one. The glass sculpture is a very pale pink, with fine white ribbing combed throughout the glass. These radiating lines function the way similar lines in clamshells do, to strengthen the walls of the pieces and enable Chihuly's work to be quite thin. It buys a few seconds in the cooling process to allow the work to be crimped and shaped just a little longer.

deep blue lines along the edges of the vessels. "Cadmium Red and Black Seaform Set with Black Lip Wraps" is a large, fiery aggregation of open forms with broader, but shorter, dark lines organized into spiraling ribbons. "White and Oxblood Seaform Set" has a clear outer bowl, like an open shell, that distorts light and creates rhythmic layers. Two translucent, cloudy white forms reside within it. These have deep red ribbons of color around the upper third of each piece, giving the work alternating areas of uncluttered field and line. Chihuly lost an eye in a 1976 car accident — he now wears a patch, like a roguish mariner — and his lack of depth perception seems to make him more attuned to transitions of rhythm and color. He does not personally blow pieces in his 40,000square-foot studio in Seattle, but directs teams of artisans as they manipulate 2200-degree blobs of molten glass. Chihuly's dynamic preparatory drawings alone demonstrate that he is an artist of the highest magnitude. These untitled, mixed-media works on large sheets of paper achieve the same transparency as his glass creations, but with pencil, charcoal and pastel. He has only recently begun to show his drawings, bur they are as engaging as the glass. And they are certainly closer to the artist's hand. Chihuly uses a limited range of colors in the drawings — unlike the 300 hues evident in the glassworks — and draws with his entire arm. The pieces seem to document a creative journey as circles, ripples and scribbles are built into coherent shapes that can be turned into shimmering, three-dimensional objects by his assistants under close direction. Vermont is a small state with comparatively few opportunities to experience the work of living masters who have redefined the boundaries of their art. Chihuly at the Southern Vermont Arts Center is a visual-art version of Marcel Marceau or Bob Dylan at the Flynn. And rather than one of the extravaganzas Chihuly has shown at major museums around the world, his Green Mountain mance" is appropriately intimate. ®

"Translucent Yellow Seaform Persian Set" is a six-foot-long suite of objects within objects, each with a different mass. Chihuly includes glass bubbles, vine-like forms and a range of varied wave shapes. He calls the small elements "Ichibana," referring to the Japanese art of flower arranging. This work also is reminiscent of the moments after Hokusai's famous "Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawaat" has curled and begins to churn the shore. Some of Chihuly's glassworks are monochromatic, but the majority is not. "Pink and Lavender Seaform Set with Navy Lip Wraps" includes dark .violets and yellows, and the "navy lip wraps" are

DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE** Not since Look Who's Talking Too has John Travolta taken the artistic chances and demonstrated the growth as an actor that he does in Domestic Disturbance, an action-packed new drama that can most accurately be described as a somewhat lengthier version of its trailer. Lengthier but, amazingly, not the slightest bit more interesting. Everyone agrees that studios give away too many plot points in trailers these days, but Travolta's latest takes the practice to a new extreme. If you've seen the preview, you've seen the movie. Literally. Travolta's a down-on-his-luck boat builder. One of the reasons he's dow i on his luck, we learn, is that he's such a nice guy he sells handcraf id wooden sailboats for less than it costs to make them. At the start of tb , movie we're supposed to view him as noble for this. Movies tend to romanticize boat builders as trustworthy, old-fashioned guys with poet.c souls. The truth about Travolta's character, however, is just that he's a terrible businessman. He's also down on his luck because he's a recovering alky whose boozing cost him his marriage and custody of his 12-year-old son. To make matters worse, his ex-wife (Teri Polo) is remarrying. Vince Vaughn's this monied smoothie who arrived in the idyllic Maryland community just two years earlier and is already being honored as Man of the Year by the local chamber, even though it isn't clear he even has a job. Being the saint he is, John takes his kid aside and encourages him to keep an open mind about his new stepfather, to try to get along with him for his mother's sake. Even if the trailer hadn't revealed that Vaughn's really a sinister figure living under an alias, you'd know in a second. For one thing, Steve Buscemi shows up at the wedding dressed like he just came from "How to Look Like a Criminal" class. Turns out he's tracked Vaughn down to get his share of the loot that Vaughn ran off with while his cohorts in crime did jail time. And every time the boy's mother is out of sight, Vaughn drops the Ward Cleaver act and turns into Christopher Walken. The kid hides in the back of his new stepfather's SUV one dark and rainy night figuring he'll hitch a ride into town and make his way to Travolta's place. His plan backfires when Vaughn picks up Buscemi at a motel on the edge of town, takes him to a brick factory, stabs him and disposes of the body. Naturally, nobody believes the kid when he reports the homicide. A troubled preteen from a broken home, he has a minor history of telling lies and playing pranks. At the same time, no one even thinks to ask the boy to describe the murder victim. Relations between Vaughn and his stepson grow even chillier following the accusations. It takes awhile, but in time it occurs to Travolta that his son may have told the truth and, if he did, is now in danger. Does he race to the police? Does he race to his ex-wife's house? Nope, he races to his home computer and searches the Internet for clues as to Vaughn's true identity. Domestic Disturbance may be the first film to attempt to generate suspense by means of a slowly downloading PC. "When Travolta finally logs off and the duel of the dads rolls around, the face-off is boilerplate and unbelievably anticlimactic. You'll never guess who wins. Inferior by far to the similarly themed 1984 Michael Apted drama Firstborn, this picture is so predictable, so thoroughly void of depth or detail, you leave feeling like you haven't witnessed a movie so much as the senior class play at Sam Peckinpah High. Never mind the bad movies Travolta made prt-Pulp Fiction (and that number is not insignificant). Since his big comeback, the actor's stink streak continues to rival that of any major name in movie history, Nicolas Cage included. Broken Arrow, White Man's Burden, Face/Off, The General's Daughter, Mad City, Lucky Numbers — and Battlefield Earth, for God's sake. I figure Travoltas taken in well over $100 million for these duds alone. I'm not sure the public is getting its money's worth. Or that much can be said for a comeback if movies like these are what an actor has come back to make. ©

ust call 'em Castor and Pollux. Although they look nothing like each other, pals David Mamet and William H. Macy are Vermont's celestial twins of the arts. They each graduated from Goddard College in Plainfield, own getaway homes in nearby towns and have conquered theater, film and — in Macy's case — television. So it was not at all surprising to find them both at September's Toronto International Film Festival with new projects. Mamet wrote and directed Heist, which will be released nationwide on November 9. Macy stars in Focus, an adaptation of a novel by playwright Arthur Miller that opened a few weeks ago in New York. Its mixed reviews could mean the period piece will never be distributed elsewhere before going to video. On September 11 Mamet had already left Toronto, but Macy was stranded when all flights were cancelled. Two days later, he held an unplanned question-and-answer session. Almost overnight, Focus had taken on a deeper resonance. The story about anti-Semitism and violence in America during the mid-1940s seemed especially timely as the Middle East's ancient hatreds hit home — literally. "I'm guessing the terrorist attacks were about antiSemitism too, at least on some level," suggested Macy, whose father was a decorated B-l 7 pilot in World War II. "I admit I do have blood lust right now. I want us to go out and kick some ass. This is our fight. Everybody knows what's right and wrong. The U.S. can say to the world: 'Which side are you on? You've got one minute to decide.'" The acclaimed actor — a kindly surgeon on "ER," a meek but conniving car dealer in Fargo, a brave Army general aboard the president's hijacked plane in Air Force One — volunteers with a California Boy Scout troop in his free time. Mr. Average American, and a very WASP-y one at that. This also describes Macy's milquetoast character in Focus. The nearsighted Lawrence Newman, a decent but fearful Brooklyn resident, undergoes a catharsis when required to wear eyeglasses for the first time: People suddenly think he's Jewish. With David Paymer as a genuine Jew who owns a corner candy store, the lower-middle-class neighborhood is roiling with bigots — like the sinister guy portrayed by rocker Meat Loaf Aday. Newman is pressured to either join the underground group that beat up non-Christians or else become a target himself. His own wife (Laura Dern) urges him to give in to these homegrown terrorists for his own protection. It's the dark underbelly of patriotism, with the Holocaust's victims being blamed for the war. As directed by Neal Slavin, the story is a bit too obvious, not to mention silly. Why can't Newman simply remove his glasses to get a new job when potential employers begin to discriminate against him? It's not his principles stopping him; he hasn't found them just yet. Despite serious flaws, Focus is much more compelling than Heist, a convoluted caper movie that's a sure sign Mamet has been trying way too hard. Although not as stilted as House of Games or The Spanish Prisoner, the new film lacks credibility primarily because the protagonists anticipate their opponents' every move. In addition, the classic Mamet thiefspeak is beginning to wear thin: Who wants to hear generations of tough guys referring again and again to "the thing," apparently the author's favorite snippet of street jargon? Without such drawbacks, the uneven cast might have made the thing work. Gene Hackman, Rebecca Pidgeon, Delroy Lindo and Ricky Jay play a quartet of slick robbers relying on an unscrupulous fence, Bergman (Danny DeVito), for the information to launch any new operation. When a witness spots Joe Moore (Hackman) during a jewelry store break-in, he and his main squeeze, Fran (Pidgeon), make plans to leave the country on their well-appointed yacht. But Bergman refuses to turn over their share of the loot unless they agree to carry out "the Swiss thing," an elaborate gold-grabbing scheme that involves impersonating airport guards and commandeering a cargo plane. He insists on sending his slippery nephew Jimmy Silk (Sam Rockwell) along to keep an eye on Joe's gang. This being Mamet, both sides are busy trying to con each other. Another serious problem in Heist is the inherent sexles'sness. An erotic edge is essential in any project reaching for even a glimmer of film noir. Pidgeon is simply too stiff an actress to project the sensuality that Fran ought to radiate when Joe asks her to seduce Jimmy as a diversion. Mrs. Mamet is often the black hole at the center of her husband's work. Her scenes with Hackman, whose allure never seems to waver as he ages, lack the sparkle that would make them a riveting criminal couple. Savvy audiences would prefer this genre to throb with the carnal thing. (Z)

O Dear Cecil, During the current anthrax scare, a report on the radio about various bioterrorism agents said the smallpox virus was a particularly nasty pathogen. I looked down at the smallpox vaccination scar on my arm and thought, "Well, that's one thing I don't have to worry about. " But now I read that smallpox vaccinations only provide protection for seven to 10 years! My vaccination was over 30 years ago, back in the 1960s. Did my parents literally scar me for life for a measly seven to 10 years of protection? I thought you only had to be vaccinated for smallpox once. If not, how come you see lots of old photos of folks with a single smallpox vaccination scar, but I can't remember ever seeing anybody with multiples? Certainly my parents only had one apiece. So what's the deal, Cecil? Are smallpox vaccinations only good for seven to 10 years, or is that just being overly conservative? — Mark Gleaves I don't mean to raise undue alarm, but these are perilous times. Here are some things you should know about smallpox: (1) Smallpox vaccination is effective for about 10 years and provides diminishing protection thereafter. Booster shots normally weren't administered unless there was a danger of exposure, e.g., traveling overseas. In the U.S. routine vaccination ended in 1971, booster shots for international travel were discontinued in 1982, and public distribution of the vaccine ceased in 1983 (military personnel were vaccinated until 1990). This means that while there may be hope for Eric Clapton and B.B. King, it's curtains for Britney Spears. (2) Nasty doesn't begin to do justice to this disease. Here's a description by medical journalist Richard Preston ("Demon in the Freezer," New Yorker, July 12, 1999): "Smallpox is explosively contagious, and it travels through the air. Virus particles in the mouth become airborne when the host talks. If you inhale a single particle of smallpox, you can come down with the disease. After you've been infected, there is a typical incubation period of 10 days. During that time, you feel normal. Then the illness hits with a spike of fever, a backache, and vomiting, and a bit later tiny red spots appear all over the body. The spots turn into blisters, called pustules, and the pus-

tules enlarge, filling with pressurized opalescent pus. The eruption of pustules is sometimes called the splitting of the dermis. The skin doesn't break, but splits horizontally, tearing away from its underlayers. The pustules become hard, bloated sacs the size of peas, encasing the body with pus, and the skin resembles a cobbled stone street. The pain of the splitting is extraordinary. People lose the ability to speak, and their eyes can squeeze shut with pustules, but they remain alert. Death comes with a breathing arrest or a heart attack or shock or an immune-system storm." (Full text at cryptome.org/small pox-wmd.htm; icky photos at www.bt.cdc.gov/Agent/Smallpox/ Smallpoxlmages.asp.) Typically 25 to 50 percent of victims die; survivors are permanently scarred and sometimes blind. Humans are the only known carriers of smallpox; you can't get it from animals or insects. (3) The last smallpox epidemic occurred in Bangladesh in 1975 but was contained within the year. The last known cases of smallpox, from accidental lab exposure, occurred in England in 1978. The World Health Organization declared — somewhat precipitously, you may think — that smallpox had been eradicated from the globe in 1980. Officially, the last vials of the smallpox virus are held in government labs in the United States and Russia. (4) However, antiterrorism experts suspect that other nations have gotten their rubber-gloveclad hands on the stuff, possibly including China, Iran, Iraq,

Israel, North Korea, Serbia, and Pakistan. Some believe that Osama bin Laden's organization and the Aum Shinrikyo cult in Japan also have some stashed. (5) Richard Preston interviewed a former Russian bioweapons researcher who claimed that Russia had secretly manufactured and stored 20 tons of live smallpox virus, and who knows where it all is now? (6) Manufacture of smallpox vaccine for general use halted in 1982. The U.S. currently has 15 million doses of vaccine on hand, a substantial portion of which has deteriorated and may no longer be effective. Preparations are underway to make another 54 million doses by next summer, and the government is negotiating for the manufacture of a total of 300 million doses, enough for everyone in the U.S. Until then many Americans are as vulnerable to smallpox as Native Americans were at the time of first European contact. It's estimated that if the entire U.S. population were vaccinated, 300 people would die due to adverse reactions. (7) Diminished immunity or not, public health experts are counting on previously vaccinated people to care for the sick should a smallpox epidemic occur, hopefully after they've been revaccinated. These people are older, have kids, responsibilities, etc. But speaking as a fellow old fart, Mark, all I can say is, if the need arises, we're just going to have to suck it up. — CECIL ADAMS

They've got the band name of the hour, and a new album that offers solace in the wake of the terrorist attacks. Don't Tell the Band, the latest from Georgia-based Widespread Panic, "is a celebration of the triumph of music in the face of great adversity," according to publicity materials. "The imagery evoked in the title track ranges from doomed Confederate Army bands playing as the bullets flew, to the tuxedoed string players on the Titanic_ who performed even as the ship sank." Guess that obligates the improvisational sextet to show up for a peaceful, gig in Burlington; Widespread Panic. Monday, •>•••; •;

"What do you want? The usual?" With this flip, stock-in-trade bartender's query, British contemoorary 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.

For years, the Vermont Youth Orchestra made music wherever it could find space. But now it has a rehearsal room of its own — as well as a small performance hall, four classrooms and two practice rooms — in the Elley-Long Music Center at Fort Ethan Allen. "People stop dead in their tracks when they walk in," manager Caroline Whiddon says of the rehabilitated riding hall that "looks like a place that kids would want to call home." See — and hear — for yourself at an open house. Whiddon reports the rooms are truly soundproof — proof the $2 million investment was sound.

gay emigre? Civil unions offer homosexual partners a certain amount of legal protection in Vermont. But what about couples separated by political boundaries? There's no green-card deal when you're gay. That's the subject of Glory Box, a solo performance piece by Tim Miller that details his failed efforts to keep an Australian lover in the United States, including their forced separation at an international airport. Miller certainly knows how to make a scene. He was one of four National Endowment artists whose grants were rescinded because they didn't meet fed- * eral "standards of decency." The foursome sued, and won.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19):

Traditional astrologers fear the planets Pluto and Saturn. Pluto, they assert, brings radical transformation that's mostly uncomfortable. Saturn enforces constriction and contraction, hemming us in and limiting our options. And when the two are on opposite sides of the solar system, as they are now, their dour dance spoils every party. Or so say the doomsayers. While I acknowledge that these planets can at times be a real pain in the assets, they may also be great allies. By invoking Saturn's influence we can find the niche that best accommodates our unique set of talents and needs. Pluto can show us what we've been unconscious of, deepening our souls and leading us to hidden reserves of wealth and power. These are the more likely scenarios for you, Aries.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May

20): Welcome to the big pre-holiday sale at Ancient Wisdom Mart, the worlds only sacred shopping center. We're pleased to inform you that you've been chosen by our inhouse oracle, Rob Brezsny, to win a free upgrade of your communication skills. Here's a sampling of the therapeutic advice you'll receive. 1) If you want to be better listened to, hone your listening skills. 2) To ensure that your feelings will be clearly understood by others, make sure that you yourself always know exactly what you feel. 3.) Given the fact that men tend to use language to dominate and women use language to communicate, you should emphasize the female approach more than ever. 4) For maximum impact, speak your truths from your gut with tender force, and never put your listeners on the defensive.'

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)7

Some astrologers say this year's challenging relationship between Saturn and Pluto has triggered our current global predicament. According to Robert Hand, the meaning of their dynamic can best be described as "revolution through

shrinkage." In other words, the established order and status quo are in the midst of a shakedown that will require rollback and reduction. Ah, but here's the rub: Will that be relatively bad or good? Will it bring oppressive limitations or rather a sharpened focus? A loss of freedom or else a purge of low-level priorities that had been diluting our devotion to our dreams? Which way it ali plays out in your personal life, Gemini, may largely depend on your attitude.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Until she was 9 years old, my Cancerian friend Diana did not know that crickets produce the thrumming whir that fills the air on summer nights. She sincerely imagined the source was the stars in the heavens. To this day, she retains a measure of the same sweet innocence that conjured such a winsome belief. And yet she is also a kick-ass poet with a medicinal knack for exposing raw and sometimes disquieting truths. She manages to be both virginal and penetrating; spontaneous and crafty; generous and relentless. In other words, my fellow Crabs, she masterfully embodies the beautiful contradictions that are every Cancerian's birthright. I hope you take advantage of this ripe astrological moment to be inspired by her example. L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): Cocooning is rampant. Many of us are spending huge amounts of time trying to recreate the womb. The withering of the natural world's greenery, autumn's annual ritual, is one factor motivating the mass retreat. But far more pressing is the demoralizing specter of terrorism. As much as I understand the urge to turn inward, I also mourn the fact that it's driven so much by fear. Wouldn't it be more rejuvenating if we cultivated the arts of nesting in

out light or oxygen in undersea volcanoes. If I myself had the means to reward brilliant virtuosity, you would be my top choice. Why? Because of your determination to keep digging and digging, through the layers of superficial desires we've all been programmed with, until you get to the bottom of your irreducible primal yearnings. In recognition of your ongoing work, which is now entering a new phase, please accept this metaphorical prize: an image of a giant heart beating at the center of the Earth.

order to better hear ourselves think? To shield ourselves from the inane and frenzied decadence of consumer culture? To act on the truth that being with those we love is what matters most? To seek out the restorative hum of the divine song? If anyone can make the shift to motivations like these right now, Leo, you can.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): "Chrysanthemum growers: You are the slaves of chrysanthemums!" So admonishes Robert Hass in his translation of a haiku by Japanese poet Yosa Buson. I couldn't have come up with a better oracle for you, Virgo. As much as I admire the beauty you have been freshly cultivating these last two months, I also want to warn you not to sacrifice too much whiie in service to it. "Chrysanthemum growers: Be the chrysanthemums' collaborators!"

SAGITTARIUS <no,

22-Dec. 21): Don't leave me hanging, Sagittarius. What the hell happens next? How could you imagine you've wrapped the whole thing up? Baby, you've got one more fish to fry, one more parting shot to deliver, one more element of surprise to conjure. To stop now would be a crime against nature and a full chapter short of a bestseller. The socalled "climax" you're calling The End was just the final foreplay before the real denouement. So come on, now, Crescendo Maestro. Get out there and bring this story all the way home.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I'd love you to learn more about how to push your own buttons and pull your own strings and unfreeze your own assets and understand your own motives and provide your own inspirations. I'd be overjoyed if you grew in your ability to unbreak your own heart and kick your own ass and wash your own brain. This is, by the way, not a prescription for loneliness, but for greater selfsufficiency. And that, ironically, is the key to making your collaborations more deeply synergistic. In fact, it's guaranteed to bring more grace and authenticity into all your relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-

Jan. 19): It's Practice What You Preach Week for you Capricorns. It would not only be wrong for you to violate your own standards and ignore your own advice, it would be downright dumb. At any other time you could probably get away with a minor outbreak of hypocrisy, but not now. That's the bad news. The good news is that if you embody more of the latent beauty and power of your most precious truths, you will become eligible for a previously unimaginable level of worldly success.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

21): Each year the MacArthur Foundation gives away prestigious cash awards to unsung geniuses. The most recent crop included an activist who turns old hotels into housing for homeless people and a molecular biologist who studies primitive bacteria that survive with-

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A woman I met at a party told

| me the following story. When , her son was still young, she gave him to her parents and *' disappeared from his life for three years. During that time, she fixed the damaged parts of her own psyche, but her son grew to resent the woman who had abandoned -him. When she returned and humbly asked to be his mother again, he refused. For two years she persisted patiently in her attempts to win back his trust. One day, five years after she'd originally fled, he accepted her back into her life. I feel there's an analogous story transpiring in your life right now, Aquarius. The situation's not as intense, and the time periods aren't as long, but the potential for a rich and dramatic karmic adjustment is similar.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): How'd you like a free chance to stare into the face of God? Before you answer this trick question, allow me to drop a few hints. First, to avoid frying your brains, don't stare. Catch fleeting glimpses. Act curious but not desperate. And don't speak unless spoken to, or unless you have a really good question. Don't misunderstand me, Pisces. I'm not trying to scare you away from your fair share of the divine shock wave and all its healing benefits. Just respect the limits of how much sublime revelation you can absorb all at once. You can call Rob day or night
