Appointed to positions of public trust under Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter, Charlie Ross was one of the most influential and well respected Vermont public servants of his generation. Ross earned a reputation as a strong advocate for consumers, environmental protection, and the public interest. His dissenting opinion in a case involving protection of the Hudson River established a critical legal foundation for the environmental movement. Charlie Ross taught public policy at the University of Vermont in the early 1970s.

Down on the Farm
CEDO RESPONDS If you were to read Russell V. Paul’s April 5 letter “Seeing CEDO” about the conspiracy of CEDO against the community, you would have a very distorted picture of CEDO. Mr. Paul’s idea that CEDO wanted to return N. Winooski Avenue to two-way traffic “because it would be good for downtown businesses” is not correct. In fact, the reason for exploring the idea of two-way traffic on N. Winooski Avenue was because of concerns raised by Old North End businesses and residents. I have been involved in many projects and meetings in the Old North End, and I was involved in this activity. Traffic on N. Winooski Avenue was a concern of folks in the Old North End. Neighborhood businesses, and businesses looking to locate in the Old North End, felt a return of two-way would have been a significant economic improvement. Lauren Smith, an owner of a commercial building on N. Winooski Avenue, reported, “We’ve had good businesses turn away because of the confusion the one-way street creates for customers coming from the south.” Neighbors were particularly concerned about dangerous intersections on N. Winooski Avenue at North Union and North Streets. In response, CEDO and Public Works developed a proposal to test the return of two-way traffic on N. Winooski Avenue. I worked with

Localvores! I am on the board of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont, and one of our quarterly meetings was yesterday. Part of the meeting involved a presentation from Barbara Duncan, Executive Director of the Vermont Earth Institute. She explained to the board that there are a series of localvore networks sprouting up in different parts of the state. Localvores are people who try to eat only locally produced products, and typically these groups will have local-only potlucks, or challenge themselves to eat totally locally for a week or month at a time. As you can imagine, it is easier to eat all-local up here in August than it is in January, but either way it takes effort and ingenuity. I mean, we don’t grow too much coffee, or mine too much salt, up here, even in August. But localvores try to do it all! Anyway, Barbara wanted to discuss with the board how NOFA might be able to hook localvores up with local farms, or how NOFA could otherwise help support this movement. We had a great brainstorming session. Maybe we will have a little household local only challenge this spring or summer. It looks like it would be fun. Posted April 11 by Peter Griffin

the Wards 2/3 City Councilors and the NPA (including going door to door with flyers) to involve the neighborhood in discussions. After several public meetings, the neighborhood had too many concerns that could not be answered without testing the two–way traffic configuration, and the NPA voted to discontinue the proposed demonstration. The City listened and did not proceed with the proposed demonstration. CEDO listened to the community’s concerns and desires, and tried to balance all of the interests. CEDO engaged the neighborhood in a meaningful dialogue and listened to their concerns. Clearly, CEDO and the city were accountable to the people living and doing business in the Old North End. In addition, Mr. Paul’s comments regarding construction contracting are completely untrue. Contracts involving public money (federal, state and/or local dollars) are awarded through a public bidding process. Contractors on publicly funded contracts are required to pay prevailing and/or livable wages. CEDO is audited every year: through the city audit process and then again through the federal single audit process. Private development is just that — private. CEDO doesn’t control who gets contracts in private developments. Kirsten Merriman Shapiro BURLINGTON

PSYCHO IMPERIALISTS I was dismayed to see in the Seven Days column “Tubefed,” by Rick Kisonak [April 5], an attack on religion. Further, I was upset to see a “liberal” journal such as Seven Days have such an article advertised on the front page. Kisonak refers to Scientology as “the world’s most humorless, paranoid and bizzaro cult.” Later he goes on to present Islam in an equally bad light. Sadly, it is not surprising to see such bigotry in the musings of a Burlington aesthete, as many artists and television shows are racist and imperialist in the same way as Kisonak. Although I am neither Scientologist nor Muslim, I think it is important we focus on the great qualities of these nonEuropean religions because of the discrimination they continue to receive from the U.S. and European nations. Both have persevered through the bigotry and imperialism of U.S. and European ideologies. Racist policies such as the “Patriot Act” and similar policies in European countries have made discrimination toward Islamic belief legal. If Kisonak goes out of his way to paint a picture of religious people as crazy, not uncharacteristically, he doth protest to any illegality of Christianity in Afghanistan. Scientology ought to be commended for its important critique of institutional psychology. Today psychology and psychiatry often

cooperate with the government and the medical-industrial complex to achieve “organized mind control,” a critique Kisonak one-sidedly levels at religion. Most of the recent public school shootings were committed by children who were on Prozac or some related psychiatrist-prescribed drug. More and more people see psychologists every year, and more and more people are taking drugs prescribed by psychiatrists. The opiate of the masses is big business. Some of the psychologists and psychiatrists that I have met were
often anti-intellectual and short with reasoning; one student of psychiatry at UVM was openly racist. As the former UVM philosophy professor Charles Guignon said in his criticism of psychology, Reinvisioning Psychology, the psychologist seems to have replaced the priest as the person who holds truth or salvation. Though I certainly don’t know as much about Tom Cruise as Rick Kisonak, I think Cruise’s critique of psychologists and drug companies is crucial. If anything, it will help engage the public in a very important debate.
Freud did think talking was the greatest cure. Nick Ruderman SOUTH ROYALTON
ACCESSIBILITY ASSESSMENT In the excellent article by Jon Margolis on lobbyists and health care reform [“House, and Senate, Calls,” April 5], lobbyist Stephen A. Kimbell says he recommends to clients that they contribute to everyone. He reports he “finds it harder to get a meeting” with legislative, and presumably, other political leaders, absent a donation.
He recommends contributing the legal maximum. That is quite an accusation of Vermont political leadership. But Kimbell backs up his words. His firm contributed the legal maximum: $400 twice to candidate Douglas and $400 twice to candidate Clavelle. Why else contribute the maximum to opposing candidates but to guarantee access regardless of the outcome? If Kimbell contributes to politicians to buy access, that is bribery. And if politicians offer him access in exchange for contributions, they are corrupt. I think the Attorney General should investigate this apparent confession of bribery. And if Kimbell has evidence of Vermont politicians offering access in exchange for cash, he should be interviewed by the proper authorities. Chuck Lacy JERICHO
HIRE AUTHORITY I was very dismayed to read in both Seven Days [“Critical Mass,” April 12] and the St. Michael’s College weekly The Defender comments attributed to Salvatore Matano, the new bishop of the Diocese of Burlington, on the continued employment at the college of gay and lesbian and nonCatholic faculty and staff. Asked in an interview with WCAX-TV if he would recommend that gay and lesbian faculty be dismissed under the directive of

JEFFRY GALPER, Ph.D. ADVANCED CERTIFIED ROLFER® 865-4770 • South Burlington www.vermontrolfer.com
Pope Benedict XVI, Matano was quoted as saying, “That is an issue that I would have to give serious consideration to in consultation with the college.” Bishop Matano has held his post for only five months, succeeding the retired Bishop Kenneth Angell in November. As a relative newcomer to Vermont, Bishop Matano may not be aware that under Vermont state law, it would be illegal for the college to fire its gay and lesbian faculty and staff. As an educational institution, it would also be illegal under federal law — in fact, unconstitutional under the First Amendment — for the college to dismiss non-Catholic faculty and staff as well. To say nothing of violating SMC’s own nondiscrimination policies. Granted, the media do have a tendency to magnify controversy. Given that, however, Bishop Matano’s comments certainly did nothing positive for relations between SMC and the Diocese — which, I must remind the good bishop, it has no direct control over. As an openly bisexual, nonCatholic member of the SMC staff, I certainly hope that Bishop Matano wasn’t serious about what his remarks implied. I love working for St. Mike’s, and I don’t relish the thought of having to fight to keep my job for reasons that have nothing to do with my job performance. Skeeter Sanders SHELBURNE

BURLINGTON — A gay man who is HIV-negative, practices safe sex, and has been in a monogamous relationship for 20 years is ineligible for life to give blood to the American Red Cross. But a heterosexual man who’s had unprotected sex with dozens of women in the last year can donate blood every eight weeks. The policy makes the blood of LGBT activists boil at the
northern New Hampshire, according to Carol Dembeck, the agency’s corporate communications specialist. About 8000 units came from UVM students, faculty and staff, including 428 units that were collected during oncampus blood drives. Kathryn Friedman, executive director for the Office of Affirmative Action, did not return repeated calls from Seven Days.
In the 1980s, the FDA imposed a lifetime ban on blood donations from any man who’s had sex with another man since 1977.

University of Vermont; they’re asking the administration to stop the Red Cross from holding blood drives on campus until the policy is changed. In the 1980s, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration imposed a lifetime ban on blood donations from any man who’s had sex with another man since 1977. The move was in response to widespread fears at the time that the human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus would be spread through blood transfusions. Since then, however, significant improvements in HIV testing and blood screening technology have made the U.S. blood supply much safer and more reliable. Nevertheless, the FDA policy, which was reviewed in 2000 but left unchanged, still applies to the American Red Cross, the American Association of Blood Banks and America’s Blood Centers, the three organizations that collect virtually all the blood used for medical purposes in the United States. But LGBT activists argue that it’s now well-established science that HIV transmission isn’t based on sexual orientation but on behavior. In fact, they point out that the fastest growing U.S. demographic group for HIV infections are heterosexual AfricanAmerican women. Nevertheless, blood donation centers like the American Red Cross still enforce the FDA’s ban on gay men’s blood, regardless of the men’s HIV status. In a complaint filed last year with UVM’s Office of Affirmative Action, student Evan Litwin contended that the Red Cross’ policy violates the university’s non-discrimination policy. The office recommended that UVM should no longer allow the American Red Cross to hold its blood drives on campus. But in January, UVM Vice President for Finance and Administration Michael Gower decided not to accept that recommendation. Gower argued that ending blood drives on campus would effectively cut off “a regular and reliable supply [of blood] from our students [and] would be an unacceptable position for the University to take from a public health perspective.” Between August 2005 and March 2006, the American Red Cross Blood Services–New England Region collected 35,015 units of blood in Vermont and
But in March, Annie Stevens, chair of the President’s Commission on LGBT Equity at UVM, solicited input from faculty, staff and students about their experiences with Red Cross blood drives. Among the people to respond was Scott Whipple, who was a
But as Dembeck points out, the Red Cross has “zero wiggle room” when it comes to enforcing the FDA ban. In fact, the Red Cross recently recommended that the FDA consider changing its longstanding policy, which has caused controversy not only at UVM but on other college campuses around the country, including the University of New Hampshire and the University of Maine. In March, the three national blood-collections organizations met with the FDA to ask that it change the lifetime ban on gay men’s blood to a one-year deferral from their last sexual contact. “It does not appear rational to broadly differentiate sexual transmission via male-to-male
WHO MAY GIVE, WHO MAY NOT Anyone who is 17 or older, weighs at least 110 pounds, and has not donated blood in the last 56 days is usually eligible to give blood. However, some restrictions apply. Some of the other reasons you can be ineligible to give include if you: • Are pregnant. • Have tested positive for HIV. • Have a cold, cold symptoms, a fever or the flu. • Have had sex with a man who’s had sex with another man since 1977. • Have had sex with a prostitute or someone who’s exchanged money or drugs for sex. • Have AIDS, leukemia, lymphoma or malaria. • Have a blood relative with Creutzfeldt-Jack disease. • Have traveled to another country in the last 12 months, or have moved to the U.S. within the last three years from a country with malaria. • Have received acupuncture, ear or body piercings or a tattoo from an unsterilized needle within the last 12 months. • Have received a blood transfusion in the last 12 months, or in the UK since 1980. • Had viral hepatitis after age 11. • Have had sex for money or for drugs since 1977. • Lived a total of five years or more in Europe, the UK and/or Turkey.
student at UVM from 1995 to 1999, and worked in the registrar’s office from 2001 to 2005. Whipple, who is gay, replied to Stevens’ request for comments and forwarded a copy of his letter to Seven Days. Whipple writes that as both a student and staff member, he was “always frustrated” whenever he saw people, posters or emails on campus asking him to give blood. “I find the need for blood drives extremely important, seeing as my father has had countless transfusions,” he writes. “I had to have smiling people ask, ‘Would you like to give blood?’ to which I would always reply, ‘Yes, I would love to,’” he adds. “The smiles become broader as they pick up a form to score their next recruit, and then I have to crush them with, ‘But I can’t because I’m gay.’” Whipple says that although the Red Cross knows that HIV is not limited to gay and bisexual men, it “continues to perpetuate the myth that gay men are the [only] ones who get the disease.”
sexual activity from that via heterosexual activity on scientific grounds,” the March 9 statement reads. “To many, this differentiation is unfair and discriminatory, resulting in negative attitudes to blood donor eligibility criteria, blood collection facilities and, in some cases, to cancellation of blood drives.” Some gay and lesbian groups have welcomed the recommendation. But others, like UVM’s professor Laurie Essig, who serves on the President’s Commission for LGBT Equity, say that such a change wouldn’t go far enough. Essig argues that even a one-year deferral on blood from gay men would be “a constant reminder that the Red Cross holds gay men responsible for AIDS, rather than certain practices.” “It’s ridiculous to put it all on the FDA. The Red Cross led the charge to keep this policy in place,” she adds. “This is the same Red Cross that kept blood segregated by race well into the 1960s, long after everyone admitted that was bogus science.” m

“Simply...”
PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
Two protestors from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals — one dressed as a giant chicken with broken wings and legs — stationed themselves outside the Kentucky Fried Chicken on Shelburne Road Monday to urge lunchtime customers to boycott the chain. The website http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com reports that PETA began complaining of animal rights abuses at KFC’s suppliers in January 2003. The group claims that KFC suppliers scald the birds alive, and breed and drug them to enlarge their breasts. Their legs often break under the weight — hence the big chicken in a wheelchair. Campaign coordinator Lindsay Rajt handed out flyers and free DVDs — featuring foul KFC fowl footage narrated by Pamela Anderson and Reverend Al Sharpton — to drivers who stopped to chat. The manager of the Burlington KFC refused to comment on the allegations, but the restaurant chain’s website says PETA is “unfairly singling out” the Colonel’s company in a campaign of “deceit, duplicity and terrorism.”

BURLINGTON — Is there a bumperto-bumper backup in Bolton? Rubbernecking on Route 2? A stalled manure spreader stinking up the Northern Connector? Whatever’s slowing the flow, Vermonters can now tap into a service once available only in major metropolitan areas: regularly updated traffic reports during the morning and afternoon rush hours. On April 3, Clear Channel Radio launched its “Vermont Total Traffic Network,” which offers motorists real-time traffic data on its 15 AM and FM radio stations around the state. The reports are updated 10 times per day and are broadcast Monday through Friday during the 6-to-9 a.m. rush hour, and again from 3 to 7 p.m. The traffic reports cover virtually all the Clear Channel listening areas in Vermont, which include the Champlain Valley, Montpelier, Rutland, Randolph and White River Junction. It’s unclear whether Clear Channel is responding to a symptom of Vermont’s rapid rate of growth or just trying to slice itself a larger piece of the radio pie. Karen Marshall, vice president and marketing manager for Clear Channel Radio in Vermont, points out that even rural Vermonters aren’t immune to the traffic delays that occur on major thoroughfares throughout the state. “I like to say that we have two seasons in Vermont that relate to roads: winter season and construction season,” Marshall says. “When you have that one lane closed, say, between Williston and

ESSEX JUNCTION — Residents of Essex Junction are hungry for organically grown fruits and veggies, free-range meats, Vermontmade food products and other specialty items like the ones sold at City Market in Burlington. So much so, in fact, that the town of Essex Junction has approached City Market to see if it’s interested in opening a second store in the village. “It’s really exciting for us, because it’s coming from the grassroots,” says Jodi Harrington, City Market’s marketing and community-relations manager. “We’re really flattered to be seen this way.” The Onion River Co-op, which operates the community-owned City Market, has about 200 members living in the greater Essex area, including about 120 in Essex Junction itself, according to Meredith O’Neill, City Market’s director of human resources. She says the store is financially “in a good place right now” where it can seriously consider such an expansion. Essex Junction has been without a downtown supermarket ever since the A&P pulled up stakes in 2002. Recently, the Grand Union on Susie Wilson Road announced that it’s closing its doors at the end of the month. Over the winter, two public meetings were held in Essex Junction to gauge community interest in opening a “Village Market” — a cooperativestyle health and specialty-foods grocery modeled after City Market — in town. Both public meetings were well-attended and revealed strong community support. As a result, the town of Essex Junction commissioned a $9900 market feasibility study on the idea. That study, funded largely by a rural development grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, found that there is a “significant opportunity” for a specialty/natural food store to do well in downtown Essex Junction. The market study, conducted by location research consultant Peter C. Davis of Port Townsend,
Washington, also found that “the opportunity for a specialty/natural food store is significantly greater than for a conventional supermarket.” A standard supermarket of 30,000 to 50,000 square feet would face significant competition — there are already seven such stores within 3.5 miles of downtown Essex Junction. However, a smaller, natural-foods specialty market could capture a “relatively strong share” of the area’s consumer-grocery dollars, estimated at $94.5 million annually. Moreover, the demographics of Essex Junction are conducive to supporting a niche specialty-foods store, the study showed. The greater Essex area has a large percentage of college-educated residents, white-collar workers and two-income households. The town is also home to IBM, the largest
store,” he says. Safford also says that a City Market-type store would offer the village a number of advantages over a conventional supermarket, such as “the multiplier effect” of re-circulating money within the community. It has the potential, as well, to provide the village with a sense of place, an identity and a focal point where people can gather. “City Market has a social mission to enrich the lives in the community that they serve,” he adds. “Their mission goes beyond the monetary transaction.” Locations being considered include the Essex Junction Shopping Center on Pearl Street and 34 Park Street on Route 2A, site of the old Flanders Lumber yard. Both are privately owned and would not require the kind of public-private partnership that
There’s a large group of people in this community who are increasingly conscious about what they put into their bodies, and would just as soon not have to take their global positioning systems with them to the grocery store.

ESSEX JUNCTION TOWN MANAGER CHARLES SAFFORD
private employer in Vermont. Charles Safford, Essex Junction town manager, says he’s thrilled that there’s an obvious “market for the Market.” He believes that many of his fellow residents would prefer to do their food shopping at a smaller, locally owned grocery than at a big-box supermarket. “There’s a large group of people in this community who are increasingly conscious about what they put into their bodies, and would just as soon not have to take their global positioning systems with them to the grocery
City Market did. According to the market survey, a specialty/natural-foods store would do well at either location, with an annual sales potential of $8.8 million within three years of opening. O’Neill at City Market emphasizes that the proposal has not yet been formally presented to the Onion River Co-op board of directors, which is expected to discuss the matter at its April 24 meeting. In addition, the decision to open a second store would require approval by the majority of the co-op’s 2300 members. m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Tarrant Campaign Gets Personal
A
s we entered the darkened hall, a thick, spicy, invisible cloud of spaghetti sauce hit us like a smoke bomb. The guest of honor had already begun speaking as we slid into a chair by the wall. We’d finally made it to one of Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Rich Tarrant’s free spaghetti dinners. In fact, we’d gotten five calls from Burlingtonians annoyed by the automated calls they’d received from Tarrant headquarters inviting them to the free spaghetti dinner at the Eagles Club on St. Paul Street. The candidate was wrapping up his life story and soon took questions from the audience of 31 about the hot issues of the day. But the story that requires reporting is not what the candidate, but rather his campaign manager, said. Campaign Manager Tim Lennon made it perfectly clear that the campaign’s opening phase of smiles and sweet talk is over. Mr. Lennon noted that Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders had just made his first TV advertising buy. Or rather, Ol’ Bernardo’s wife, Jane Sanders, had made the buy. With Richie Rich saturating the airwaves since January, Sanders was getting a little concerned some might not realize he’s running for the Senate this time, not the House. “Obviously, there’s questions of personal enrichment,” Lennon said in reference to the Sanders TV ad buy. The campaign manager for the richest man in Vermont charged that the longtime Green Mountain champion of the working class was “using one’s office to benefit one’s personal good.” Congressman Sanders, said Lennon, “was making money off of his wife’s actions. He was personally enriching himself. He used his wife as his agent to do it, but that’s what he was doing.” Lennon had done his research. He knew exactly when Jane Sanders had placed the ads at WCAX-TV. And Lennon charged it was at a time when she was supposed to be “on the clock” elsewhere: “She’s making it at four o’clock when she’s working for Burlington College.” Yes, indeed, Jane Sanders is the president of Burlington College. Obviously, she keeps presidential hours, despite the fact her husband is only running to gain senatorial ones. Lennon suggested that either President Jane is on the Sanders for Senate campaign payroll or her company “Leadership Strategies” is. He called it “purely a front for her, her daughter and her son-in-law.” Add in the spaghetti sauce smell, folks, and the evening was getting more Godfather-like by the minute. Lennon argued that Mrs. Sanders had to be getting some corporate benefit from her campaign ad-placement role in her old man’s campaign. “It goes to personal enrichment,” said Lennon. “It is one of the things that Tom DeLay did. Tom DeLay is just as guilty of this as anyone else.” Bernie Sanders and Tom DeLay. Birds of a feather. How bipartisan of Mr. Lennon to say so, eh? Not surprisingly, Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver had a very different take on the matter. “They do a lot of polling, and they see the same results that I’ve seen,” said

Weaver, a Franklin County native and former Marine who started with Bernie as his “chauffeur” during Sanders’ unsuccessful run for governor in 1986. “After spending millions of his own money, Tarrant is 40 points behind,” noted Weaver. “Now they’ve done what every Republican campaign does in its desperation — they decided that their only hope is to go extremely negative after swearing up and down that they wouldn’t go negative.” Weaver told “Inside Track” Lady Jane made the media buy as a “volunteer.” The ad commission, he said, went to their Alexandria, Virginia media firm Abar Hutton Media — http://www.abarhuttonmedia.com. Weaver, on leave from his chief-of-staff duties, said Mrs. Sanders “is no longer doing this professionally, but the truth of the matter is that Jane Sanders is widely acknowledged to be the most skilled and knowledgable media buyer for Democrats and Progressives in Vermont. That’s why she’s worked for Peter Clavelle, Anthony Pollina, Elizabeth Ready and Cheryl Rivers. Jane is very skilled at this.” Actually, the truth of the matter is that Mr. Weaver failed to note that the four candidates he named all lost their last races. Bernie’s the only Triple-Crown-quality political horse Jane’s worked for. As for charges of “personal enrichment,” Weaver called it “a lie from top to bottom.” “We’re surprised,” he said, “by how early they’ve gone negative and the fact that they’re targeting Bernie’s family. Mr. Lennon may have used these smear campaign tactics in New Hampshire, but it won’t work in Vermont.” Can’t wait for the Sanders-Tarrant debates, can you? Martha’s Standards — The quote popped off the page last week: “I will not judge campaign contributions on the contributor.” The speaker was Republican congressional hopeful Martha Rainville, the frontrunner for the GOP nomination. Democrat Peter Welch has the Democrat nomination all locked up. Marvelous Martha made the comment at a Statehouse presser with Gov. Jim Douglas, her biggest champion, standing at her side. Unfortunately, yours truly had not attended due to a schedule conflict. On first blush, it sounded like an incredibly stupid thing to say, especially in public. After all, in recent months Republican members of Congress have been lining up to return campaign contributions they had once gleefully pocketed from sources with ties to convicted superlobbyist Jack Abramoff. Gen. Rainville began her campaign on a high note. Martha said in her kickoff speech: “I am a Republican, but candor compels me to say that some of the Republicans in control of the House seem to have lost their way. They have lost the respect of many Americans.” Amen, sister! Despite her ethically pure statement, however, Martha got into a little mess over

indecision in taking a $2000 donation from former Tom DeLay aide Roy Blunt of Missouri. She eventually accepted $10,000 from Blunt. This week she’s in another mess, but let’s not jump ahead. Rainville had a second Statehouse press conference on her schedule last week. The purpose was to accept the endorsement of all but one House Republican. We simply couldn’t bite our tongue. Did the former adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard really mean to say the previous day that she’ll take money from anyone and anywhere as long as it’s green? “That is not what I meant, and I’m glad you brought that up,� replied Rainville. “I’m not going to get into the game of guilt by association. I accepted a contribution from Rep. Blunt. That’s been called many other things. It’s been made to appear as coming from many other places than that and I’m not going to get into the finger-pointing bickering part of it and I’m also not going to allow somebody else to wrap me around the axle.� Great line about not getting “wrapped around the axle,� eh? Gen. Rainville’s expertise, remember, was in aircraft maintenance. But, despite her expressed desire to clarify the matter, the situation only got murkier. What are Martha’s standards on taking money, if any? “I accept contributions from members in good standing in Congress,� she replied crisply. “Members who have not been indicted. They don’t have allegations against them... I’m grateful for their support.� And according to her first quarter campaign finance report filed with the Federal Election Commission, GOP congressmen and GOP PACS have supported her handsomely. It’s a clear indication of how highly Vermont’s open seat is valued. If the GOP loses its majority in either House or Senate, the investigations, indictments and downfall of the Bush regime will follow. Perhaps the best example of Rainville’s policy of ignoring the source on campaign contributions is demonstrated by the $1000 she reported from “Don’s PAC.� Thank you, Don! But who the hell is Don? Don’s PAC, officially registered as “Doing Our Nation’s Service� PAC, has been around since 2001. According to the FEC, it’s affiliated with Republican Rep. Don Sherwood of Pennsylvania. Rep. Sherwood, 65 and married, reached an out-of-court settlement last year with his former mistress, a young woman in her twenties. She had claimed in a 911 call to police from the Washington, D.C., apartment they shared that the congressman had beaten and choked her in a violent outburst while giving her

a back rub. No criminal charges were lodged, and Sherwood’s folks did a good job of keeping it under wraps press-wise. But a $5.5 million federal lawsuit was subsequently filed, and last summer Sherwood, the alleged choker, admitted to the five-year affair with the young lady but denied he was physically violent. An out-of-court settlement was reached, the terms of which have not been disclosed. With guys like Don Sherwood in her corner, how can Martha lose? But stop the presses! When we first called Rainville HQ Tuesday morning, Communications Director Bill Noyes said he was unaware of Rep. Sherwood’s young-mistress problem. However, three hours later, Big Bill called back to inform us he would shortly be issuing a press release announcing Martha was returning the $1000 contribution from Don’s PAC. Noyes said a little Googling had enlightened him about Rep. Sherwood’s family values. So, there! Martha Rainville does have ethical standards on campaign contributions, after all. Glad we called, eh, Martha? Just trying to help. Military Experience — Actually, the real surprise at Rainville’s presser involved her reading habits. At this historic moment, eight of America’s best and bravest retired generals are revolting against what they have accurately described as a deceitful president and inept secretary of defense. There’s no way to dodge it any longer — these are very dark days in the USA. We’re locked into another “no light at the end of the tunnel� war, folks, that, like the tunnel before it called Vietnam, is based on presidential lies and disastrous mistakes in judgment. As of Tuesday, 2377 of our countrymen and women have died in what history will remember as the Big Bush Folly. In 1997 Major H.R. McMaster, then a West Point instructor, published a book that laid bare from a military perspective what went wrong back in the 1960s. It’s called Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies that Led to Vietnam. When it was published, Gen. Hugh Shelton, chairman of the joint chiefs, made it required reading for all 17 of his four-star generals. The book makes the point that the military kept its mouth shut about the flaws in the Johnson administration’s Vietnam policy. The generals at the top made pleasing the president their top priority. Never again! Gen. Eric Shinseki, army chief-of-staff before and during the Iraq invasion, read Dereliction of Duty. In February 2003, Shinseki told Congress “several hundred thousand� troops would be needed in Iraq to secure the country. As everyone knows today, Shinseki was absolutely correct. His honesty cost him his job. Rumsfeld fired him, kept troop levels too low, and the rest is history. Obviously, the eight generals
who have gone public in the last 10 days have studied McMaster’s book. Unlike the generals of the 1960s, they are speaking truth to power. We wanted to get ex-Gen. Martha Rainville’s impression of Dereliction of Duty. Given her military background and continued support for war in Iraq, we assumed she’d have significant points of disagreement with McMaster’s central thesis. Unfortunately, we were stopped cold in our tracks. Martha, you see, told “Inside Track� she hasn’t read Dereliction of Duty. Damn! That explains it, eh? Internet Updates — Last July, “Inside Track� reported on the sorry condition of the Burlington Police Department’s website at http://www.police.ci.burlington.vt. us. What information was available was years out of date. Look, we’re well into the Internet Age, folks, and the largest municipal police department in the state, located in one of America’s awardwinning “most livable cities� was way, way behind the times. We reported last summer that Police Chief Tom Tremblay acknowledged the BPD website’s shortcomings. “That will change by New Year’s,� promised Chief Tom Terrific. He told us the site was being redesigned. Well, the bad news is that New Year’s has come and gone, and none of the promised changes have arrived. Tremblay informed this week that the delay was caused by the fact his network administrator had been reassigned to help Burlington Telecom. Today the BPD web page returns the message “the site is under construction.� No rush, eh? Out-of-Towners — Burlington’s current police chief is not a Burlington resident. Tremblay has long lived in Essex. He was appointed in 2003 by Mayor Peter Clavelle. Mayor Moonie also got the city council to grant Tom Terrific a residency dispensation until 2007 so he would not have to abide by the requirement of the city charter that city department heads live in Burlap. (Neither does the fire chief.) We now know that it is not only a requirement of the city charter, but one that the citizens of Burlington overwhelmingly support. The news got lost on Town Meeting Day with the spotlight on the mayor’s race, but Burlingtonians were asked in Ballot Question # 3 if they wanted to eliminate the residency requirement on the books. After all, argued the champions of change, the Queen City needs to attract the best talent regardless of what town they call home. Voters weren’t buying it, and 66.5 percent voted “no.� They clearly want the people who run the departments to live among the citizens who depend on and interact with them. Now the question is what will the new mayor, whatshisname, do? Unfortunately, Mayor Bob Kiss did not return our call. Stay tuned. m

You’ll excuse my jumping immediately into the arithmetic, David, but we need to give this some thought. If smoking really did cause 250 million deaths over 10 years, and these accounted for a fifth of all deaths, we’d be talking 1.25 billion total deaths in the industrialized nations alone. The population of the entire world in 1994 was 5.6 billion. No doubt you see the problem right there, but to be sure, we turn to the International Data Base of the U.S. Census Bureau, from which we learn that between 1995 and 2004 worldwide deaths from all causes numbered just 539 million. I don’t suggest that tobacco is anything less than a scourge, but if it accounted for nearly half of world mortality over a decade-long stretch, it’d make the Black Death look like a bad cough. This isn’t to say Christopher Buckley manufactured that horrifying statistic; he probably just misread his notes. Undoubtedly he’s referring to a 1992 Lancet article entitled “Mortality From Tobacco in Developed Countries: Indirect Estimation from National Vital Statistics� by Richard Peto et al. (Sounds familiar? Maybe it’s because I cited this article when trying to compute smoking deaths among U.S. WWII veterans. Incidentally, Peto, an Oxford don, was knighted in 1999, making him Professor Sir Richard Peto. Sometimes I wish I lived in England.) Peto and friends projected that “[based] on current smoking patterns just over 20% of those now living in developed countries will eventually be killed by tobacco (i.e., about a quarter of a billion, out of a current total population of just under one and a quarter billion).� So we’re looking at 250 million lifetime smoking deaths, not just in the next 10 years. In the shorter term, Peto’s group projected that tobacco would kill 2.1 million people in 1995, or 21 million for 1990-99. In sum, Buckley was off by an order of magnitude, a sizable boo-boo even for a novelist. Then again, the AIDS pandemic, generally regarded as the great plague of our time, has killed an estimated 25 million since 1981, so 21 million tobacco deaths in 10 years still qualifies as a lot. Be that as it may, we’re now 14 years on, and one naturally wonders how things look on the fatal
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
Dear Cecil, A character in Christopher Buckley’s 1994 novel Thank You For Smoking (now a film) quotes a then-current prediction in the medical journal the Lancet: “[In the] next ten years, 250 million people in the industrialized world are going to die from smoking — one in five.� It’s now 12 years later. I certainly hope the Lancet’s prediction — which I am guessing was bona fide, and not an invention of the novelist — proved to be overpessimistic. In the best estimate of the experts (and by “experts� I do not mean tobacco spokespersons), how many lives were lost to smoking during that 10-year period? David English, Somerville, Massachusetts
scorecard. Last December Peto and colleagues issued a revised version of their 1994 opus Mortality From Smoking in Developed Countries 1950-2000. The 50year total, since you’re probably wondering: 63 million, or one death in eight. Mean years lost per smoking death: 15. Returning to the matter at hand, Peto et al. calculate two million smoking-related deaths in 1995 in the 45 industrialized nations and 1.9 million in 2000. Offhand, those numbers suggest the toll is mounting more slowly than expected. Maybe, but it’s not like somebody is going around counting toe tags. All statistics on tobacco deaths, whether looking forward or back, are estimates of varying reliability and, from what I can tell, virtually all the synoptic international figures are the work of Peto and associates. For example, in the World Health Organization’s Tobacco Atlas (2002) I find a page of color graphics with a mortality bar chart in the form of little tombstones, in my mind a sure mark of reliability, plus, in big red numbers, an estimate “of everyone alive today [who] will eventually be killed by tobacco�: 500,000,000. (Attention novelists: That’s lifetime, not in the next 10 years. Got it? Lifetime.) Confirmation of Peto’s worst fears? Hold on. The likely source of the scary statistic is longtime WHO consultant — you guessed it — Richard Peto. I’m not saying the numbers are bunk. It’s true, as tobacco apologists argued for years, that given the long latency and complex causality of lung cancer, the chief smoking-related killer, it’s difficult to conclusively pin any particular death on tobacco use — mostly you’re stuck comparing cancer rates among smokers and nonsmokers. What’s more, anyone working up a global estimate has to generalize from narrow research (Peto’s major source on differential cancer rates was an American Cancer Society study). So smoking-death projections are inherently soft and won’t ever be confirmed in a rigorous way. Still, there’s reasonably good evidence that the leading cause of death in this bloody era is a form of suicide committed one puff at a time. CECIL ADAMS

Waste Not, Want Not Japanese Irony of the Week More U.S. troops have died in motorcycle accidents since Sept. 11, 2001, than have been killed fighting in Afghanistan. A big part of the problem, according to commanders of military bases, is troops returning from war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan with months of tax-free salaries and extra pay for combat and overseas service.

Videos obtained from Munsey’s car camera included, according to the official report, bikini-clad women, “an extreme close-up of a motorcycle passenger’s breasts� and scores of other “inappropriate� images. A Police Benevolent Association attorney insisted that the various shots of multiple women were not a “regular� thing, but “only an isolated� event.

I have intelligence information for the president!� — Brian Lee Patterson, 40, after scaling the White House fence on April 9, “looking distraught� and “screaming incoherently�. “Patterson apparently has made a habit of crashing the president’s house. According to the Secret Service, this is the fourth time the Albuquerque native has been arrested for unlawfully entering the White House grounds.� — Elites-TV News Service TO: George W. Bush FROM: Peter Kurth SUBJECT: “Your� House Dear George: I’m writing you directly because nothing else seems to work. I mean, we can’t all take Mr. Patterson’s approach by jumping the gates of the White House in an effort to get your attention. I’m not a Republican, not in the military, and not a fundamentalist Christian, so I don’t stand a chance of being invited to one of your pre-screened question-and-answer sessions and talking to you that way. And we know that Cindy Sheehan’s tactic also failed
My mother’s lived under 14 presidents, George, and I’m afraid she thinks you’re a punk. — that is, camping out in Crawford and demanding an audience with the Great Panjandrum. All it did was make Ms. Sheehan famous and give her a platform — a much larger platform than she’d have had, George, if you’d only taken a few minutes off from bike-riding, brush-clearing and barbecues and pretended to listen to what she said. So, a letter it is. I tried this a month ago with your Homeland Security director, Michael Chertoff, but I never had a reply. Probably Mr. Chertoff is too busy figuring out how to keep Mr. Patterson off your lawn, but I know you have more time on your hands than Chertoff does, what with the bike-riding, brush-clearing, etc., so I’m hoping that you or someone you know (at the NSA, maybe?) actually reads your mail. Of course, this is an “open� letter, George, which means a lot of people will read it even if you don’t. But, as you said so smartly while refusing to provide Congress with documentation of the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, “That’s just the way it works.� Anyway, George, you’ll have to forgive me for not addressing you as “Mr. President.� I’d like to honor your office, at least, but in your case I’m not allowed. I mean that literally: My mother won’t let me, and there’d be hell to pay if I went against her wishes. You know how mothers are, George — you’ve got one of your own. Yours is the one who wears pearls and once called you
“a dirty dogâ€? on the “Todayâ€? show. Mine is the one who lets out a little shriek — OK, a big shriek — whenever she sees you on TV, and especially when anyone refers to you as “the president,â€? “this presidentâ€? or “Mr. President.â€? My mother’s lived under 14 presidents, George, and I’m afraid she thinks you’re a punk. No amount of arguing is going to change her mind. “It’s that wave,â€? she says. “You know — whenever he gets off a plane and struts around, he waves as if he were a 5-year-old boy going off to his first day in kindergarten. He waves as if he’s saying, ‘Wook, Mommy! I’m de Commandew-in-Cheef!’ Somebody needs to give that man waving lessons.â€? My mother was especially upset, George — well, we all were — about your response last week to mounting calls from ex-military men that you fire your Secretary of War, Donald Rumsfeld. (Please don’t insult us by calling him your Secretary of “Defense.â€?) You said that Rumsfeld has your “full support and deepest appreciation,â€? despite the slaughter and devastation that he, and you, have wrought in your illegal, immoral and fruitless war in Iraq, and despite the fact that Rumsfeld has now been connected directly to your policy of torture, abuse and degradation of prisoners at GuantĂĄnamo Bay and other “extraordinary rendition spotsâ€? around the globe. “Secretary Rumsfeld’s energetic and steady leadership is exactly what is needed at this critical period,â€? you declared on Friday. Then you, or someone, threw a lot of still-serving military honchos onto the Sunday talk shows to say that calls for Rumsfeld’s resignation are “inappropriate in time of war.â€? “Inappropriate?â€? my mother cried. “Inappropriate? Tens of thousands of innocent people dead, no end in sight to this phony war, the Pentagon now planning nuclear strikes on Iran – and we’re told that even talking about tossing these bums out on their ears is ‘inappropriate’! Point of order!â€? I won’t tell you what my mother said after that, George, because it isn’t pretty. But I dare you — I dare you — to haul your sorry ass to Iraq for more than a photo-op and ask any mother there, any one at all, exactly how “inappropriateâ€? it would be to put an end to your incompetent, criminal regime. And, for that matter, to you. I mean your presidency, of course, George, not “youâ€? as a person. But that’s only because, unlike you, I’m not a murderer, and I don’t want to end up at GuantĂĄnamo myself. Meantime, George, I think you need more than just lessons in waving. I think you need lessons in politics, diplomacy, statecraft and human decency. I think you need a crash course in history. I think you need remedial reading and a whole new set of friends. I think your own mother ought to give you a good hiding, Texas-style, and I hope to hell we’ll see the last of you, Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney and the rest of your lying cabal before the world goes up in flames. Capisce? My best to Laura and the twins. m

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD
When “Last Call!” Means “Let’s Eat!”
I IMAGES Matthew Thorsen
s there a nighthawk in Vermont who hasn’t gone hungry because almost every restaurant in the state stops serving dinner at 9 p.m.? Even in Burlington, late-night eating options are limited. The one reliable weehour restaurant — Denny’s — is in South Burlington, and you need wheels to get there. At long last, the Queen City appears to be working up an afterhours appetite. A number of downtown restaurants now serve dinner until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Global Markets keeps the grill hot until 4. And last weekend, Henry’s Diner made local culinary history by expanding its hours of operation from 10 to 23, suggesting Burlington may be becoming a real city after all. “There’s a demand for late-night dining,” says bartender Aaron Pisano of Leunig’s Bistro on Church Street. “A huge demand.” I begin my investigation there, where the large, white, freestanding clock in the middle of the restaurant reads 11 p.m. The kitchen has just closed, but the bar is crowded with thirtysomething patrons sipping drinks and picking at desserts. We pull up the only vacant seats at the bar, and consider the sweet selections. My companion — who doesn’t eat gluten — explains her

predicament. Pisano names two flourless dessert options off the top of his head. He also tells us that Leunig’s is one of several downtown restaurants that closes the kitchen before the bar, avoiding the drunken late-night food crowd. “The trouble isn’t even the people coming from the bars,” Pisano offers. “It’s kids who aren’t even of legal age coming down from their dorm rooms.” A block away, around the intersection of Main and Church Streets, a multitude of carts and walk-up food counters cater to bar patrons looking to sober up or anyone else in search of cheap, late-night chow. The busiest is Kountry Kart, with its sandwiches and chips. Right next door is Ahli Baba’s Kabob Shop. Mr. Mike’s, Big Daddy’s and Manhattan Pizza all serve slices into the singledigit hours. Nectar’s lets you take a load off — and feast on artery-clogging gravy fries — until 2 a.m. But there are more civilized options. At 11:45 we finish our drinks at Leunig’s, and head to the Green Room on St. Paul Street, where we’ve arranged to meet some friends. From a chilly spring night in Burlington, we step through an emerald glow into another time and place: a 1980s nightclub in Manhattan? Shiny black furniture. A hand-stamping bouncer. Dim lighting. A DJ spinning retro and hiphop, while a decked-out crowd that’s fairly young — but not college — yells back and forth over the music.
We arrive at the same time as the rest of our group, and by some miracle, find a table and order drinks. The main menu items are no longer available, but they are still serving
“We are open till insane hours. And I work all of them,” Murray says. “We have guys call in around 12, from a bar, asking, ‘Can you feed 15?’ By the time they walk in here,

We’re not talking nachos here. The crab risotto with Mediterranean salad is delicious, and filling. We also sample two crostini plates — one with smoked salmon and artichoke topping; the other, with olive tapenade. The Cajun trout with sliced avocado goes down easy. I’d stay for another round — of drinks and appetizers — but there are more latenight eateries on my plate. As much as the Green Room is dark, loud and crowded, Global Markets is brightly lit, and there are just a few people sitting at tables when we reach the far end of North Winooski Avenue. It’s not an easy stagger from downtown, but owner Waell Murray makes it worth the schlep: he greets us himself — standard procedure at all times of day and night.

If I have to stay an extra hour, it’s okay.” Global Markets offers Middle Eastern and Vietnamese cuisine and, according to Ben, a regular enjoying his nightly dinner, the world’s best Philly cheese steak, for $5.50. “This is definitely my favorite restaurant,” Ben says. “I’d sooner eat shoe leather than eat at the carts — and I make shoes.” Global Markets is open until 3:45 a.m. every day except Sunday, when they close at 10 p.m. Murray doesn’t work on Mondays. “The whole late-night idea was the idea of a Yellow Cab driver,” says Murray. “He said when he picks people up from the theater at night, there’s no one open.” Murray decid>> 24A

ed to try late-night hours during Ramadan, the Islamic holiday when Muslims fast during the day, but eat at night. “By the time it was over,� Murray says, “I realized that even without Ramadan, it was the Americans who wanted me to be open nights . . . I don’t use that expression, ‘Sorry we’re closed.’ Never did. Never will.� Murray converses with every customer — he talks me out of the Philly cheese steak and into a Bosnian ground beef sandwich called a cevapcice. “The playwright Josh Bridgman came in a few weeks ago,� Murray says. “He heard I serve goat head. So I went into my freezer to get a goat head, and I boiled it in sauce to thaw it out. When it was finally ready, he yelled out, ‘This is the best head I’ve ever had!’� I would love to chat with Murray and his regulars all night, but downtown calls. Last calls, actually. We arrive back at Church and Main around 1:45 a.m. and wade through a crowd of people at the crosswalk to get one last drink at Manhattan Pizza. Like most downtown bars, Manhattan operates in a different time zone than the rest of Burlington. There’s a 25-minute discrepancy between my watch and the bartender’s clock, which
reads 2:10 a.m. Past last call. Back out on the street, walking past the rows of carts and walk-ups, we are joined by hundreds of other people who have been expelled from the bars. People are drunk-dialing on cell phones, they’re yelling for their wobbly friends to keep up, and — of course — they have the munchies. We re-cross Main Street in the direction of Bank Street, but I am distracted by Kevin Shea, the hot-dog guy. It’s not so much Shea himself that catches my eye, but his hat: a 16-inch foam hot dog-throughthe-head number Ă la Steve Martin. “Watch that thing!â€? says his cashier, ducking. “You keep hitting me with your wiener!â€? We continue up Church Street to Henry’s Diner, where a new era in late-night dining is about to begin. Established in 1925, Henry’s has just expanded its weekend hours to stay open all night on Friday and Saturday. Directly inside the front door, welcoming the first late-night crowd, is a Burlington police officer. “Trouble, Officer?â€? I ask. “No trouble,â€? he says. “It’s just that when people get drunk they do stupid things. We’re just here tonight to let people know that, well, we’re here.â€?

The scene inside Henry’s is quieter than the one outside the bars. The radio plays soothing oldies, while postbar noshers are scattered among the booths and tables, including two large groups of eight or nine people. “It’s been quieter than we expected,” our server reports, “but I think it’ll get busier when the word gets around.” Just after we order breakfast, one booth breaks out in song — a cell phone serenade to a friend who just got off from work. They’re not terrible singers, but their words are slurred beyond recognition. Everyone, including the cop, laughs at the late-night entertainment. Our food arrives, and it’s typical diner fare: a stack of pancakes for me and a sizable spinach and cheddar omelette for my friend. “The menu is the same as our day menu,” our server says, “without the dinners. And everything is bumped up about a buck.” Drowning my pancakes in real maple syrup — for which you pay an extra $1.25 — I feel confident that late-shift workers and all-night partiers need not go hungry in downtown Burlington. They just need to know where to look. m

rancis Ford Coppola might want to toss a horse head into someone’s bed, but the “Godfather” game isn’t half-bad. That’s not to say that this ambitious videogame based on the classic film series will win over the director. Coppola was whining about it long before the title even shipped. And this “Godfather” likely won’t score any Academy Awards or win any gaming awards. The premise is goofy, the action plodding and the basic game play surprisingly simple. Still, as a grand experiment with the ambitious reach of, say, Don Corleone, this “Godfather” bears some surveillance. The game, or perhaps more accurately the story, starts out with an act of

gangland violence. Someone blows up your bakery, grabs your wife, and then comes after you in a back alley with a baseball bat and, eventually, a Tommy gun. The life of a gangster, we are reminded, is stylish, brutish and short. This opening salvo also introduces us to a reasonable facsimile of Marlon Brando as the Godfather, an illusion that gets a boost from voice performances provided by the actor before his death. Flash forward a few years and the
narrative places the player in the role of the murdered mobster’s son. The Godfather answers a plea to take you under his wing, and the fun begins. Your training missions include learning how to beat the stuffing out of people, shoot a gun, drive a car, and shake down the local businesses. If you’re thinking “Grand Theft Goodfellas” then you’ve pretty much got the concept. This game borrows the oftimitated “Grand Theft Auto” sandbox game-play while adding a few features and importing some classic cinematic mythology. And the trouble starts here. The sweeping, Shakespearean setting of “The Godfather” might make for a good film. Hoisted into a game, however, the bleak, windy streets of Little Italy circa 1950 just don’t fire the imagination the way they should. A snub-nosed .38 or a classic Roadster might add to the authenticity. But it’s well known that when you sit on the other end of a joystick, a plasma rifle and a Ferrari provide more thrills. What’s left over is the story. And that’s a shame. The acting and character animations, and even the tale itself provide some real drama. The game’s developers have shown a respect for the material that Coppola could not have imagined when he ranted about the use of his film property as the basis for some interactive entertainment. Then again, maybe the salty old director was right. While the story of power-hungry, bloodthirsty gangsters makes for an epic tale, the idea of actually living the life of one of these guys just doesn’t seem like much fun. After you’ve busted up a dozen or so bakeries, barbers and butcher shops, your life of crime turns into a life of grind. As the wise guys say, “It’s just business.” Turns out, that’s true. That’s why business simulations remain a peculiar sideline to the videogame main show. m

niversity of Vermont professor and poet Major Jackson comes from the streets of Philadelphia. Read one of his poems and you will not forget that fact. To Jackson, every bombed-out building there is mythSTORY ic, every housing project a thing of beauty. JOHN In his award-winning 2002 debut, Leaving FREEMAN Saturn, Jackson announced he would sing the body electric of this place:
U Hoops: Poems by Major Jackson. W.W. Norton, 125 pages. $23.95.
I watched a mother straddle a stoop of brushes, combs, a jar of ROYAL CROWN. She was fingering rows dark as alleys on a young girl’s head cocked to one side like a MODIGLIANI. I pledged my life right then to braiding her lines to mine, To anointing streets I love with all my mind’s wit.
This is not just an ars poetica, but a call to arms. Something is missing from the map of contemporary poetry, Jackson declares, and he will put it back. Hoops continues this cartographic project, calling on the ghost of playground basketball stars, childhood memories and the inspiration of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks to guide his hand. Brooks’ influence can be felt straight out of the gate. In “Moose,” Jackson shears fat and scissors out short stanzas, emerging with a poem as streamlined as a drive to the basket. Basketball clichés work easily into the mix, setting up for a magnificent image: But we drove the lane — Soared on our tippy Toes, entered a rhythm Of Pick & Roll. Give & Go & he’d Run to his favorite spot, Off alone, out, our Orbiting afronaut.
The title poem has been brought over from Leaving Saturn, as has “Urban Renewal,” which Jackson expands upon. Like Seamus Heaney in his great poem “Digging,” Jackson unleashes his entire vocabulary on the landscape of his past, ripping up its roots, raking its soil. The backyard garden wall is mossy green and flakes a craggy mound of chips. Nearby my grandfather kneels between a row of beans and stabs his shears into the earth. I squint an eye, — a comma grows at his feet. The stucco’s an atlas, meshed-wire continents with leaders who augured hate, hence ruins, which further sow discontent.
Heaney bragged his grandfather could “cut more turf in a day / Than any other man on Toner’s bog.” It appears Jackson’s grandfather was a tough old feller too. “When a beggar cupped for change outside / a check-cashing place,” Jackson writes, “then snatched his wallet, / he cleaned a .22 revolver & launched this plot.” Throughout Hoops Jackson looks up at the world from a child’s waist-high per-
spective. Everyone is a giant. One poem remembers a teacher who gave his students the names of French painters, recalling Brooks’ “According to my Teachers, / I am now African-American.” Another poem recreates a preacher’s embrace, before he lays a hand on the poet and whispers, “Fall back, my son / Fall.” Halfway into the book, Jackson abruptly shifts focus and launches into a long epistolary poem to Brooks, whom Jackson met at an impressionable age. Bouncing from one city to the next, he reads her verse like scripture. Sitting in a pub in Ireland, Jackson marvels to himself, “I would have felt as alien in Sierra Leone. / What was I doing so far from home?” He continues: I recalled at once your well-spun phrase: “Puzzled wreckage / Of the middle passage.” Bewilderment bores, true — still, amazing: Your lines give weight to baggage. Art’s doing is to lift the sheet off the cage; The psychic wound within rendered bite-size, Pertinent, grave: our selves no longer disguised.
Unlike many poets, who write down the page to their last line, Jackson writes laterally, slowing us down with alliteration — speeding us up with a backbeat of braggadocio. Occasionally, he missteps and installs a final rhyming couplet to rescue a poem as it collapses under the weight of its dense corrugation. Other poems bounce from rhyme to rhyme. Which reminds me, — no adequate Thank You Conveys the perennial debt I owe, That morning you chose to forgo the chooChoo to Manhattan. Instead, my stereo VW played Kravitz’s “Flowers for Zoe” On cruise control as we schlepped up I-95 — The weight of your fate in part kept us alive.
It’s a shame Jackson’s poem about Brooks takes up so much of this book, for it is not very good work. The rhythm is stutter-stepped, overburdened by nostalgia, the rhymes facile. But it’s understandable why Jackson would falter here. Hoops is not just a book about basketball, but about the loop of tradition — AfricanAmerican traditions in particular, as they are passed from grandfather to grandson, poetic granddames to their admiring no ones. “Truth be told,” Jackson writes, regarding Brooks’ generosity, . . . I’ve come to believe such deeds Define as much the black tradition and seed The garden Clarence Major speaks. If it thrives, Scores bend on hand and knee keeping it alive.
Jackson’s homage to his elders is admirable. But his best poems proceed from a deeper, more personal kind of devotion — a plot of the past, which is the size of a backyard garden but, as he has shown before, and sometimes here, contains all the living world. m

Some of the women are smiling. Perhaps they grow geraniums on their windowsill, are pleased with the color. More women than you think sleep in a Murphy bed. They push the heavy frame into the wall in the morning, lower it at night, dress it with sheets, a blanket, a blue-striped seersucker spread. But this is not a lament. They sleep well most nights. Sometimes moonlight falls on the rose-patterned carpet.

Power to the peoplE Why Vermont needs a strategy for electrical energy B Y LO U I S P O R T E R
Bright Ideas For Doing Your Part
lone in the sunshine-flooded room of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, state Rep. Steve Darrow recalls the impact of the national energy crisis of the 1970s. Then, public buildings shut off unneeded lights to conserve energy, commuters began carpooling, and homeowners turned down thermostats and put on sweaters. In Vermont it was a boom time for the woodstove industry and loggers. Everyone, it seemed, was splitting and stacking wood out of necessity. The crisis, triggered by the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74, a response to U.S. support for Israel in the Yom Kippur War, was relatively short-lived — the nation eventually returned to its energy-consuming ways. Yet in Vermont that brush with energy shortages did provide one important and enduring lesson, Darrow says. Vermonters understand the need for energy efficiency. “It was the first wake-up call for the American people and for Vermonters,” says Darrow, a lanky Democrat from Putney who comes by his interest in ener-

gy policy honestly — his grandfather was once a member of the Vermont Public Service Commission, then the state agency with authority over electric rates. The embargo “was the origin of a lot of energy efficiency and gave a push to renewable energy,” he says. The state’s electric power future has been weighing heavily on Darrow and
In the worst-case scenario, Vermont will have to unplug from Vermont Yankee and Hydro-Québec; the state’s utilities will then have to wire into the deregulated and more volatile “spot market” power system on which much of the rest of New England is hooked. Darrow says such a scenario will amount to Vermont’s “second energy cri-

And the contracts between Vermont utilities and Hydro-Québec’s massive, 560-dam hydroelectric operation in the north will start phasing out around the same time. “How are we going to replace that, and at what cost?” asks Rep. Robert Dostis (DWaterbury), chairman of the committee
tinue a relationship with Hydro-Québec. The Public Service Department, which is charged with planning for Vermont’s energy future — the Public Service Board sets electric rates — may well want Yankee’s Louisiana-based parent company, Entergy, to keep operating the plant, provided it is safe and reliable. Says O’Brien: “I see the potential for a

That’s because, starting in 2012, the contracts between Vermont’s utilities and their two largest sources of power, Vermont Yankee and Hydro-Québec, will begin to expire. Those once long-term contracts, with the Yankee nuclear plant in Vernon and the public utility in Québec, have largely insulated Vermont from some of the radical price jumps experienced recently in other areas of New England.
sis.” Unlike the crisis of the 1970s, there would be no supply cutoffs. Rather, residents and businesses would be hit in the pocketbook as prices surge. The problem would be significant. “I am afraid the public will have to feel some real pain before we can implement some real policy changes,” Darrow says somewhat pessimistically. Vermont Yankee and Hydro-Québec now supply roughly two-thirds of the state’s electricity needs. But after Yankee’s 40-year operating license expires in six years, the plant will have to gain both
on which Darrow serves. Vermont Yankee may not win approval to operate beyond 2012, and Hydro-Québec may want to sell its power at much higher prices — if it has excess power to sell at all, he says. “I don’t know what more you need to look at to be alarmed.” Though aware of the looming deadline, Public Service Commissioner David O’Brien says the public should take heart that no one is predicting shortages like those experienced in 1973-74. “We don’t have the answer, but I think we are on a good path to the solution,” he suggests. Without new power sources, the state will have to keep Yankee on line and con-

The issue of electrical power has colored state politics for decades — ever since electric light bulbs began replacing kerosene lamps in barns and farmhouses in the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. The question of how to obtain affordable electricity has propelled the careers of some of Vermont’s most noted politicians. >> 38A
• Insulate. A well-insulated home is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, so you save money on climate control. • Pay attention to the sun. Plant trees to shade your house if you can. Close the curtains or the blinds in the daytime in the summer, and open them to let the sunlight in during the winter. And keep your air conditioner window unit out of the sun. It’ll work better in the shade. • Bake your strawberry strudels at night, or in the early morning hours. Engage in heat-producing activities after the outside temperature drops. • Shopping for a new home or office appliance? Look for the ENERGY STAR label. Products with this certification have met energy-saving standards set by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. ENERGY STAR washing machines use half as much energy per load, and save up to 5000 gallons of water annually. The DOE estimates that ENERGY STAR office products use half as much energy as regular equipment. • Wash and rinse your clothes in cold water, and hang ’em out to dry rather than using the dryer. • Buy compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. They produce less heat, and use one-third as much electricity as standard incandescent bulbs. Plus, they last longer. • Turn off the lights if you don’t need them — unless you’re using CFL bulbs. Turning CFL bulbs on and off reduces their life span, so leave them on if you’ll be returning within 15 minutes. • Nuke your lunch. Microwave ovens use less energy and reduce cooking times for certain foods, especially leftovers. • Clean your house more often. Dust your lampshades — dirt absorbs light. Wipe down the condenser coils of your refrigerator once a year — dust and pet hair makes them work harder. Clean your radiators, heating vents and air conditioners regularly, so hot and cold air circulates more freely. And clear the dryer filter after each load. • Stock your empty refrigerator with jugs of water — a full fridge is more efficient to operate. • Keep the fridge away from the oven. A 10-degree increase in temperature around your fridge can mean a 20-percent reduction in efficiency. • Fix your leaky faucets. One drop per second can waste up to 31 gallons of water a week. • Think twice before you buy a plasma TV. They use twice as much energy as the old-fashioned kind. • Pull the plug. Many appliances suck power from the outlet even when switched off. The DOE reports that 75 percent of the electricity that runs home electronics gets used when those devices are turned off. • Remove your name from mailing lists to cut down on junk mail. • Check the air on your tires. You’ll get better gas mileage if you keep them properly inflated and aligned. • Drive 65 miles per hour instead of 75. You might save yourself a speeding ticket, and you’ll definitely save gas. That extra 10 mph will empty your tank 15 percent more quickly. COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Closing the Generation Gap How one Vermont family lives off the grid B Y M E G H A N D E WA L D he holy trinity of energy management — conservation, efficiency and renewables — can be illustrated in terms of a common household lamp: Conservation means shutting it off; efficiency means fitting it with a compact fluorescent light bulb; and renewables means installing a solar panel to power it. Off-grid houses usually combine all three methods. Charlotte residents Brian Thompson and Katherine Knox live with their two daughters in an off-grid home they built in 2003. For them, going off the grid made good economic sense: Their lot is located half a mile from the road, and running subterranean wire that distance would have cost $30,000 — the same amount as installing a renewable-energy system. The house includes roofmounted solar panels, a 100foot windmill and a propanepowered backup generator. The solar panels work well when it’s sunny; the wind generator can provide an extra power boost in a breeze, and doesn’t stop at night or when it’s cloudy. The propane generator is a failsafe, especially for November and December when both sun and wind are scarce. This system generates about 140 to 150 kilowatts each month, more than enough to cover the household’s power needs. Thompson and Knox were happy to conserve energy, but they wanted to have a “normal” house — and they do. It has running water, a propane water heater and stove, and an energyefficient electric fridge. Their dryer uses electricity to turn the tumbler, but the heat comes from propane. Because their house is designed to let in natural light, they usually only need to turn on lamps after sundown. One thing they don’t own is a coffeemaker — they just pour hot water through the grounds. “Those things suck a lot of power when they’re keeping coffee warm,” says Thompson. Situated near the top of a hill overlooking Mt. Philo, the spacious house stands a short distance from the wind tower, which is supported by guide wires. When Seven Days caught up with Thompson on a recent sunny day, clean laundry was flapping in the breeze, and chickens were roaming a nearby grassy field.

SEVEN DAYS: How much propane do you go through in a year? BRIAN THOMPSON: We use about 500 to 600 gallons a year,
but that’s mostly for cooking, it’s not really for the generator. The backup generator runs between 50 and 100 hours a year, so far. So I think if you were to compare propane usage for normal houses, it would be twice or three times [as much], because we use it for heat as well. But we also heat with wood — that’s our primary heat source . . . This year, it was such a mild winter that the furnace hardly ever came on. The wood stove kept the house really nice and toasty. SD: Why did you choose the combination of wind and solar? BT: Mostly to have two sources to charge my batteries. It’s not a real big wind generator. It’s only a one-kilowatt wind turbine. It only weighs 80 pounds, and the blades are only 4 or 4-and-a-half feet each, so it’s got, like, a 9foot swept area where the blades spin. When you’re driving by on the road you can hardly see it. SD: How much wind does it take to make the turbine spin? BT: About, I don’t know, 2 or 3 miles an hour . . . It doesn’t take much. And it has a cutout speed. If the wind speed gets over 29 miles an hour, the tail turns. The wind pushes the tail over this way, and then the wind generator turns itself out of the wind and slows down. It’ll eventually tilt back, and then it’ll start speeding up again. SD: What kind of batteries do you have? BT: They’re called marine batteries. They’re like, 200 ampere, so if you think of a normal car battery, they’re probably like three times the size. SD: Chemically, are they the same composition as car batteries? BT: Yeah, they’re a lead-acid battery. And that’s actually the one thing I have to maintain on my system: Every four or five months, I have to go down in the basement and open up my battery box, take the caps off all my batteries, and add distilled water to each one. SD: If you wanted to go away on vacation for a couple of weeks, would that be a problem? BT: No. We go away for weeks in the summer. It’s pretty much self-sustainable. I don’t know if I’d want to do it in November and December . . . The backup

generator comes on by itself, but I prefer to be monitoring it. SD: Did you receive any tax credits or incentives for your home’s energy system? BT: No, I didn’t. When we installed the system in 2003, there weren’t any . . . They started in 2004, I think. SD: So that’s a one-time thing, when you build, not something you could get every year for having it. BT: Right. I know there’s a guy in Colchester who just put his 10-kilowatt wind turbine up, and got half of it covered, federal and state. SD: Are those credits related to being tied to the grid? BT: No, just for putting up renewable energy, for using it. It made a big difference in the cost. It would have cost him $30,000 to put it up, but it only cost him $14,000. SD: Could you say, annually, what percentage of your power comes from wind and what percentage from solar? BT: It’s probably about 70 percent sun and 30 percent wind, on average. SD: Is there a way to turn solar panels off? BT: They regulate themselves. When they see that the batteries are full, there’s a dump load, and they just start dumping power into a big resistor. SD: Do you have a solar hot water system? BT: No, we didn’t invest in solar hot water, primarily because of the cost . . . It was as much as the wind generator to do all of the plumbing and put the tanks in. SD: Do you think you’d ever want to be connected to the grid? BT: At this point, I don’t see a reason to, because it’s just not something that we need. I’ve never had an outage since we’ve been online, and we’re going on three years now, come November. SD: Where was the wind turbine manufactured, and how did you decide on that particular turbine? BT: The person who recommended it was the person who installed the whole system, a professional . . . It’s a Bergey XL-1 — I’m pretty sure they’re made in Oklahoma.

SD: If you were to separate out the cost of having just wind power, how much would it cost to put up a turbine like yours? BT: Oh, that was only $5000, for that wind generator and tower. SD: What kind of permits did you have to get to install the turbine? BT: I had to get a height variance from the town. That’s a zoning deal. You’re not technically supposed to have anything higher than 30 feet. When you ask for something like that, you have to involve your neighbors, because they all need to know about it. And then I also had to get an actual Act 250 permit amendment. SD: Has the wind generator ever been a concern for your neighbors? BT: Well, there were two neighbors that didn’t really like the idea, because they didn’t really know what it was going to be like. They would come to meetings and offer resistance of some sort. They wanted me to make the wind generator smaller, not so high in the air . . . Today [the neighbors] have changed their minds. They understand that it’s a good thing. SD: If there’s freezing rain or really drastic weather, would you have to worry about the wind generator? BT: No, when you get ice on the blades, it doesn’t hurt it any. It still keeps running in bad storms. Typically when you have a good storm, when it

turns itself out of the wind, it makes a pretty loud howl. SD: Did you have any background with renewables before you looked at doing this, or were you a blank slate? BT: Blank slate. SD: Apart from having chosen energy-efficient appliances, are there certain things you do to try to conserve energy? BT: Oh, yeah. We don’t have any plug-in clocks. All our clocks run off batteries. I made all my outlets switched, so I can switch an outlet off and there’s no power running to it. For example, we have a TV and a DVD player, and a VCR, but I turn the power off on that when we’re done with it. SD: Those appliances would drain power? BT: They’re called “phantom loads” — things that are in your house that are using power all the time, even when they’re not on. A clock in your stove? That’s using power. The same thing with your TV and your VCR, all that stuff that’s set on a timer . . . All of our lighting is compact fluorescent, as well. And when we built the house, we had it facing south with all of these big windows, so we get a lot of light. SD: If you had to do it over again, is there anything you’d change? BT: No, I don’t think so. I guess I’d like a bigger house. [He chuckles.] You know, you always want more space. m

hat goes around comes around, you might say, at Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport. With the only operating manure digester in the Northeast, the giant dairy farm is able to convert moo doo from 1000 milkers and hundreds of heifers into enough renewable energy to light 800 average-size Vermont homes. It’s the methane from all that manure that powers an electricity generator at Blue Spruce linked to the lines of the local utility, Central Vermont Public Service Corp. If the methane weren’t captured in the concrete-encased digester, it would be released into the atmosphere and act as a globalwarming gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Excess heat from the roaring generator, which produces at least as many decibels as degrees, meanwhile gets pumped into the hot-water pipes in Blue Spruce’s milking parlor and office, saving $10,000 in annual heating costs. The generator keeps the manure in the 14-foot-deep digester at the same temperature as that of a cow’s stomachs — 101 degrees Fahrenheit. After 20 days of enhanced anaerobic activity, a mechanical separator processes a portion of the manure into a sand-colored, crumbly material that’s used as bedding for the Holsteins, which never leave the barns. By eliminating the need for sawdust, this decontaminated solid saves the farm another $55,000 a year. The manure that remains in liquid form will eventually be spread over most of Blue Spruce’s 2000 acres. This fertilizer for the farm’s feed crops doesn’t have the sickening stench of unprocessed liquid manure. “That makes the neighbors and our own workers a lot happier,” observes Marie Audet, the Blue Spruce bookkeeper and wife of one of the three brothers who jointly own the farm. “It used to be we’d never have social gatherings on the farm when the spreading was going on. It just stank too much.” The 100-foot-long, 72-footwide digester is about as inconspicuous as a big block of concrete can be. Its off-white surface protrudes only a few feet above ground level. And it provides still more benefits for the farm and its surroundings. All of Blue Spruce’s wastewater gets pumped into the
We have a responsibility to do what’s right with the waste produced here. — MARIE AUDET digester along with the tons of manure. The seasonal spreading of fertilizer meanwhile results in less runoff into streams because the liquid manure has been thinned to a consistency that seeps into soil more easily. The manure also contains no viable weed seeds because the heating process kills them as well as pathogens that cause Johne’s disease, which makes cows waste away. The whole process delights environmentalists and helps keep an extended Vermont family in the dairy business. The downside: The digestergenerator system isn’t easy to operate; nor is it readily replicated. “They’re always tweaking it,” Marie Audet says of her husband Eugene and her brothersin-law Earl and Ernest. The 16month-old system remains “a work in progress,” she adds. “It
would have failed if not for their skills for fixing things and keeping them running.” Other manure digesters on New England farms have failed, although several are functioning in the Midwest. The Audets learned from both the successful and unsuccessful models, and spent five years pondering options for improving Blue Spruce’s manure management. “We have a responsibility to do what’s right with the waste produced here,” says Marie Audet. “None of the other ideas made as much sense to us as the digester did.” Even so, the venture was chancy. The system required a $1.2 million capital investment and, as Audet notes, “There isn’t much margin in the milk business.” But the family’s entrepreneurial drive has kept Blue

Spruce going, and growing, for nearly half a century — a period in which thousands of Vermont dairy farms have been lost. And the three current owners have inherited the willingness to take calculated risks, Marie says. It helped that Central Vermont Public Service, along with the state and federal government, contributed about a third of the capital costs, leaving the brothers to put up $750,000 of their own money. CVPS maintains a renewableenergy development fund that helped defray the Audets’ costs, and it will soon provide a total of $660,000 to four other Vermont dairy farms that plan to install manure digesters and methane generators. Those operations — in Sheldon, Fairlee, West Pawlet and St. Albans — are expected to produce enough electricity to service nearly 1400 average Vermont homes. The money for CVPS’ fund comes from 2500 of the utility’s customers who have enrolled in its Cow Power program. They volunteer to pay a premium of up to 4 cents per kilowatt-hour, which amounts to about $20 extra in their monthly bills. CVPS also offers customers the options of a 25or 50-percent Cow Power surcharge, resulting in about $5 or $10 in monthly increases. The largest alpaca farm in New England, located in Perkinsville in central Vermont, recently joined the roster of Cow Power participants. In fact, with annual electric use of about 55,000 kilowatt-hours, Cas-Cad-Nac Farm ranks as the single-largest CVPS customer enrolled in the program. “We’re strong supporters of sustainable, Vermont-scale agriculture, so it’s a natural decision for us to become Cow Power customers,� says Ian Lutz, who with his wife, Jennifer, co-owns the 250-head alpaca farm in Perkinsville. The added Cow Power payment to the utility is also passed on to the farmers who sell renewable energy to CVPS. The Audets receive about 11 cents per kilowatt-hour for the power they generate — nearly the full 7-cent market price of energy, plus the 4-cent Cow Power bonus sum. Central Vermont hopes to expand its manure-to-energy program to supply enough power in the coming years for 5 percent of its residential customers. Despite this projected growth and the environmental benefits it entails, says Vermont Public Service Commissioner David O’Brien, “These projects are small steps in resolving our energy future.� m

COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF VERMONT • 12 LOCATIONS STATEWIDE Enter Phil Hoff. Vermont’s Democratic governor in the mid-1960s proposed another arrangement, this one with Canada. Hoff wanted Vermont to establish a publicly owned power authority to invest in the proposed Churchill Falls project, a mammoth hydroelectric enterprise in Newfoundland. Hoff fought hard for the idea but was unsuccessful, largely because of opposition from the state’s private electric utilities, which preferred to develop their own energy sources in Vermont. Many legislative Republicans opposed the idea on philosophical grounds, or worried that

such an investment would put the state at too great a risk. So, instead of the state investing in the Churchill Falls project, the utilities built Vermont Yankee, with its promise of power “too cheap to meter.” Among those legislators opposed to the Churchill Falls proposal was then-House Speaker Richard Mallary, now 77, who has had a long career of public service including a stint in Congress in the 1970s. “The public power people wanted to create a public power authority,” he says. “There had been for a long time friction and disagreement between the public power people and the private utilities.” Mallary says some opponents felt the project was too speculative, and believed the state would have great difficulty marketing the bonds for such an investment. Yankee went on line in 1972, but Vermont would still need more power to meet growing demands. When Republican Gov. Richard Snelling took office in January 1977, Yankee supplied about 250 megawatts of the roughly 700 megawatts the state needed at any given time; about 150 were still being provided by the New York Power Authority, according to Saudek. The rest was purchased at a high price on an open market still constrained by the Arab oil embargo. Like Hoff, Snelling looked north. Only this time it was toward Québec, where the huge Hydro-Québec dams project was under way. The provincial utility had plans to export power, and in 1979, under Snelling and Saudek, the state reached an agreement to buy 52 megawatts. In the early 1980s Snelling encouraged other New England states to sign on with the Canadians, Saudek says. In a later arrangement, Vermont signed another 150-megawatt contract good for 10 years. After that deal the private utilities, which thought that negotiating power contracts was within their purview rather than the state’s, began to arrange their own contracts with Hydro-Québec, Saudek explains. As energy costs began to ease for a number of years, those contracts “seemed to make no sense in terms of price,” he says, but the utilities were stuck with them. Both state regulators and the public criticized the utilities for having entered into the contracts. But in the 2006 marketplace, in large part because of those contracts with Hydro-Québec and Vermont Yankee, Vermont enjoys the second-cheapest power in New England (only Maine is cheaper). And while

We need to develop renewable resources to the degree that we can in Vermont. But we need to understand that, for the most part, renewable resources aren’t going to be able to replace the baseload resources we have.

CHRIS DUTTON, CEO, GREEN MOUNTAIN POWER shape and surface customers of other utilities in the region have been facing rate increases — in some cases of up to 80 percent — Vermonters will likely see only moderate price increases for the next few years. This may all change in 2012 even if Vermont Yankee and Hydro-QuÊbec remain a big part of the state’s energy mix. Yankee has already asked the federal Nuclear Regulatory Agency for a new license extending until 2032. The plant also recently received permission to increase its power output by 20 percent, to roughly 650 megawatts. A little less than half of that amount goes to Vermont utilities; the rest is sold out of state. As for Hydro-Quebec, energy experts predict it is likely to have surplus power to sell, though not at its current bargain price of about 4 cents per kilowatt-hour. There remains, of course, a broad portfolio of other electricity sources for Vermont, but many are either technologically limited or require environmental tradeoffs the state may not be willing to make. And that more expensive power will almost certainly remain available from the open market. In New England the cost of open-market power is high because it is driven largely by the price of natural gas, the fuel of choice in many power plants outside Vermont. And natural gas prices have been climbing because of supply problems. Experts say underground supplies in the United States and Canada have likely peaked, while transporting the gas, whether through pipelines or shipping, has become more costly. In addition, many major supply lines in the Gulf states were demolished last summer by
Hurricane Katrina, and repair costs will be reflected in prices for years. One way to limit the rising cost of power in Vermont is to reduce demand — which is exactly what Richard Cowart, another former head of the state Public Service Board, has been advocating. As a member of the consulting firm the Regulatory Assistance Project, Cowart has been frequenting the Statehouse advising legislators on a number of energy-conservation measures. “Many people think of efficiency as just a small resource option,� he says, “but over a sustained period it becomes a major element in the electric power resource mix.� Advocates argue such measures can reduce the state’s power consumption, not just limit its increases. And the Vermont Legislature has responded. The state now has a $17 million energy-savings program that helps commercial and residential property owners build tighter buildings and install more efficient lighting and appliances. There are other power sources, all with limitations:
HYDROELECTRIC DAMS: Dams generate about a third of the state’s power, but most of that comes from Hydro-QuÊbec. Only about 9 percent of the state’s power needs are supplied through the more than 20 hydroelectric plants along Vermont’s own rivers. The size of the dams range from the 191-megawatt Moore dam in Waterford, one of a network of dams on the Connecticut River, to the 0.11-megawatt Nantana Mill dam in Northfield. Energy experts say power from hydroelectric sources is unlikely to increase, because of the cost to the environment — creating lakes where rivers and

SOLAR PROJECTS: Because Vermont has such cloudy weather, it probably will never have shimmering diamonds the kinds of solar projects that are cropping up in Arizona and California. In Vermont, solar projects are — and likely will expert detail continue to be — limited to very small systems, such as those that can be installed on the roofs of homes. But such projects do help.

power in aggregate, says David Dunn, who oversees the “cow power” projects for CVPS. “I think it’s safe to say it is not going to replace Yankee or Hydro-Québec,” he says. The bottom line, experts say, is that renewable power projects in Vermont in the next decade or so will remain too small and varied to count for much. Still, power companies express support for them. “We need to develop renew-

The $500 million selling price would have amounted to as much as half of Vermont’s current indebtedness. “The cost of those facilities . . . ended up being quite high,” says GMP’s Dutton. “I think it would have been very difficult for the state of Vermont to do,” and nearly impossible for the state’s utilities to do alone. Still, both GMP and CVPS said they were ready to buy the

WIND POWER: Many advo-
high wind turbines proposed for scenic ridgelines and the need to build roads to reach them for construction and maintenance. Still, if all of the wind projects now deemed feasible were built — given site restrictions and the limits of existing technology — those turbines could account for only about 10 percent of the state’s power needs, says John Zimmerman, president of Vermont Environmental Research Associates, a wind developer. “There are unacceptable places in Vermont, that is for sure,” he admits.
METHANE: The Washington Electric Cooperative, serving central Vermont, uses methane from the Coventry landfill to supply about a third of the coop’s power needs of 15 megawatts during peak periods. That 4.5-megawatt Coventry project began producing power last year, the co-op says, but the amount will eventually increase to about 6 megawatts. Coventry is the largest landfill in the state and therefore has the most potential for generating methane power. A handful of other landfills in Vermont may be tapped. In addition, CVPS is working on a series of farm methane projects. In such cases manure from dairy farms is fed into what’s known as a methane digester, and the gas produced is burned to produce electricity. So far one operation, Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport, is online and producing about 200 kilowatts. (See “The Poop Scoop,” page 36a.) More are expected. Similar projects could produce up to 5 megawatts of
able resources to the degree that we can in Vermont,” says Chris Dutton, president and CEO of Green Mountain Power. “But we need to understand that, for the most part, renewable resources aren’t going to be able to replace the baseload resources we have.” Whatever mix of energy sources the state settles on, the process will likely involve politics and, in some cases, sharp controversy. The recent debate over the proposed state purchase of hydroelectric dams along the Connecticut and Deerfield rivers is a case in point. Ultimately Vermont did not buy the dams, but it looked seriously into that possibility. The dams — 13 in all — are in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Those power stations, which can produce up to 567 megawatts, became available when the owner, USGen New England, headquartered in Bethesda, Md., went bankrupt and put them on the market. Vermont, in collaboration with private utilities, finally did make a bid on the dams. But it was lower than the accepted offer of $500 million. Public Service Department Commissioner O’Brien believes that buying the dams at that price would have been problematic because the state’s private utilities for the next six years or more will remain locked into those Yankee and Hydro-Québec contracts. With the dams, the state of Vermont would be producing power, but it would have no immediate local market for what would be generated. “The state would have been getting into the risky business of buying and selling power,” O’Brien says. And he believes the dams would have cost too
power if the state had bought the dams. “We were eager to buy the output of those plants,” says Dutton, whose company might not have needed the power immediately but would have been poised to buy and sell it on the spot market. CVPS wrote to the state in November 2004 saying essentially the same thing. “Right now Central Vermont Public Service expects that it will not soon need additional capacity and energy,” the letter said. But it also said of the dams: “CVPS continues to believe that purchase could be of significant value to the state and CVPS’ customers and investors.” Those who supported buying the dams say the state could and should have done more to buy them, and that selling off the power until the state’s utilities needed it would have been easier than state regulators had suggested. The state power use now peaks at about 1000 megawatts on a typical day, and with current demands and the rising cost of energy on the open market, they argue that the dams would have been a wise financial investment for the future. They also argue that with the rising prices of fuel the dams’ worth already has increased. Sen. Vincent Illuzzi (R-EssexOrleans), who was a vigorous proponent of a state’s purchase, says the fight was more about private utilities’ opposition to public power than the cost of the dams, despite what GMP and CVPS may have stated. “The utilities were concerned that public power would come to Vermont in a big way,” he says. “It’s my biggest disappointment with [Gov.] Jim Douglas, whom I enthusiastically supported in his first run for governor.

So, what price will Vermonters have to pay for their power? The question is important for any homeowner who wants to turn on the television or the bedroom air conditioner, and it’s downright critical for companies planning to move to Vermont or continue doing business in the state and possibly expand. That is why legislators in the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee have spent much of the last two years trying to develop an energy strategy that can take the state beyond Vermont Yankee and Hydro-Québec. Lawmakers are considering expanding homeowner-operated “net metering” programs and increasing the budget for Efficiency Vermont, the Burlington-based renewable energy and conservation program. “Whether Vermont can be creative enough to pull it out in the future,” says Saudek, “remains to be seen.” m

sound bites THE HILLS ARE ALIVE‌ Summer in the Green Mountains is synonymous with the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival. The event, now in its 23rd year, consistently attracts high-caliber national and international talent to Vermont. It also showcases our finest local musicians, who appear on stages big and small throughout the Queen City. This year’s lineup looks fine, indeed. Taking place from June 2 through 11, the series features everything from spicy Latin jazz to exploratory avant-garde. The celebration kicks off with a concert from pianist Ahmad Jamal on Friday, June 2, at the Flynn MainStage. An underrated but highly important artist, Jamal’s evocative, minimalist compositions were a major influence on Miles Davis. Although overshadowed by jazz’s more flamboyant personalities, Jamal nonetheless expanded the genre’s expressive range. Opening the show is the Vermont All State Jazz Ensemble, which likely contains some future jazz heroes. Saturday, June 3, has been declared “Big Joe Burrell Day,â€? in tribute to the beloved saxman. A series of performances, including sets from Friends of Joe and Money Jungle, will take place on the Church Street Marketplace starting at 3 p.m. That evening, guitar/bass overlord Charlie Hunter will perform alongside drums ’n’ sampler whiz Bobby Previte in a new group called Groundfeather at Nectar’s. Vocalist Dianne Reeves brings her sweetly soulful pipes to the Flynn MainStage the following evening. A multiple Grammy winner, Reeves recently scooped up a fourth award for her soundtrack to George Clooney’s Good Night, and Good Luck. Warming up will be Vermont’s own Joe Davidian Trio. Back in the ’80s, a local fusion act called Kilimanjaro achieved national recognition for their airtight blend of funk, soul, blues and jazz. The band featured such Green Mountain luminaries as Paul Asbell, Chas Eller, Tony Markellis and Lucas Adler. As many fans are aware, the group moonlighted as The Unknown Blues Band, backing Big Joe Burrell for many years. Kilimanjaro will reunite on Wednesday, June 7, at Burlington City Hall’s Contois Club. Expect classic tunes as well as new material commissioned by the Flynn Center and Discover Jazz.

Beehive Collective will also be on hand, spreading their message of visual learning and cooperative existence. Rounding out the bill is the Jeh Kulu Dance & Drum Theater, a local, community-friendly group who celebrate the rhythmic traditions of West Africa.
Boogie-minded music fans won’t want to miss the action at the Waterfront Blues Tent. Sax legend Maceo Parker brings his staccato skronk to the lakeshore on Thursday, June 8. Also on the bill are the Budos Band and the Dwight Ritcher & Nicole Nelson Duo with Dennis Willmott. VERNON REID If you prefer jazz music’s more exploratory side, check out the Friday, June 9, double bill of The World Saxophone Quartet and Vernon Reid & Masque. In a tribute to one of the most far-out musicians of all time, each act will perform Jimi Hendrix-inspired sets. WSQ have pushed the limits of group improv for more than 30 years. Reid is best known for his work in metal-fusion quartet Living Colour. Expect some adventurous and exciting interpretations of Hendrix’s visionary music. The final MainStage concert takes place on Saturday, June 10, with the Latin jazz, boogaloo and salsa sounds of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra. Under the guidance of celebrated pianist and arranger Oscar Hernandez, the band will serve up propulsive, horn-driven tunes that honor Latin tradition, while breaking new musical ground. And that’s just a portion of what’s going down. Point your browser to http://www.discoverjazz.com for a complete listing of events, ticket info and artist bios.
JUGTOWN PIRATES
If you’re looking for freaky, high-spirited fun, this could be the show for you. Call 652-0777 or visit http://www.Higher GroundMusic. com for more info.
NEW BAND ALERT! Friends have given me a hard time lately for writing so many positive reviews. Hey, it’s not my fault all these non-sucky acts are popping out of the woodwork. Anyway, there’s another new group that I want to tell you about. Burlington’s The Hero Cycle is something of an indierock big band, with seven members contributing to their multilayered sound. THC (how’s that for an abbreviation?) features three guitarists, two keyboardists, a drummer and a bassist. Yet somehow the music never sounds cluttered. Led by guitarist/vocalist Frank Smecker, the group combines shoegazer haze with yearning vocals and intricate arrangements. It’s a bit of a departure for Smecker, who once skinned ’em alive as a member of on-again, off-again metalcore giants Drowningman. The band’s unique sound should appeal to a wide variety of listeners, from neo-proggers to sensitive indie kids. They make their live debut with Carrigan, Fire the Cannons and Sharon Van Etten on May 19, at Montpelier’s Positive Pie II. A long wait, for sure, but it least it gives me time to find a ride. You can hear a preview at http://MySpace.com/ HeroCycle. m
AVAST, YE SCURVY DOGS! Burlington’s hirsute hellions The Jugtown Pirates of Lake Champlain have been pretty busy lately. Last week, they hosted a community treasure hunt. Now they’re gearing up for the Jugtown Masquerade II: Spring Awakening, which takes place on Saturday, April 22, at the Higher Ground Ballroom. The show features the debut of Seth Yacovone & the Visitors, the singer/guitarist’s new group with drummer Jeff Salisbury, bassist Mike Bernal, lap steel man Bob Wagner and keyboardist Shane Hardiman. I don’t know what kind of stuff they’ll be playing, but chances are it’ll be louder than Yacovone’s solo acoustic sets. Also on the bill are Big Apple-based interactive performance artists Waking Dream. Their “works of giant puppetry, pageantry and stilt dance� depend highly upon audience participation. That’s all fine and good, but nobody’s getting me on a pair of stilts. Maine’s progressive design crew the

VARIOUS ARTISTS, GREETINGS FROM VERMONT: AN INTRODUCTION TO BURLINGTON’S DJS & MCS
(Suicide Squeeze, CD)
On the surface, Burlington probably doesn’t look like a hip-hop haven. Can a city lacking skyscrapers and subway routes produce quality urban music? A new compilation CD, Greetings From Vermont: An Introduction to Burlington’s DJs & MCs, is a declaration to the affirmative. The disc is the first release from local hip-hop champion Fattie B.’s Tru North Records, a label he started with Nectar’s/Metronome owners Chris Walsh and Damon Brink. If the 25 rock-solid cuts on this album are any indication, they’ve made a worthwhile investment. Greetings features nearly every working hip-hop act in the area. Scene staples Konflik, DJ A-Dog and Future Methods are joined by new blood such as The Aztext, Burnt and Neighborhood. The disc kicks off with the Loyalists’ “North Winds.” The group recently relocated to sunny California, but their tight rhymes and frenetic DJ work are certainly missed ’round these parts. Newcomers The Aztext seem destined for bigger things. Their inspired “It’s True” is a rapid-fire love letter to the genre itself. The cut takes listeners on a mini-history of hip-hop, with legendary artists from Big Daddy Kane to Nas, name-dropped over boom-bap beats and juke joint piano. Burnt is another fresh talent. His “Reason For Living” boasts remarkably realized production and a lowtoned, almost sinister flow. Neighborhood’s Atlanta-influenced “Holla” boasts breakneck raps that rival those of vintage Outkast. Local turntablists get their due as well. B-town vet A-Dog serves up “He Gets Down,” which kicks off with Wu Tang Clan superstar GZA giving props to our local wax-hound. DJ Cre8 offers “Innovate Cre8,” an edgy track featuring snaky guitar and nimble scratching. Hip-hop shopkeep Darnell Burners’ “Hate Myself Breaks” utilizes a bluesy vocal sample to paint a picture of romantic rejection. The bongos and breathy whispers in the tune’s middle section are an especially nice touch. Lee & S.I.N. give us the earnest “I Pray,” which finds the duo rapping to God about various social ills. N. Cruz’s “Vigilante’s Theme” pilfers spoken-word bits from Apocalypse Now, as well as snippets of Johnny Depp’s jittery performance in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. The tune’s minimalist rhythms and spookhouse aura are right up my alley. Compelling from start to finish, Greetings From Vermont proves that Burlington hip-hop not only exists, it’s positively flourishing. I can’t think of a better CD with which to launch a label. Looking forward to hearing more.
Seattle’s post-hardcore quintet Minus the Bear are known as much for their absurd song titles as for their music. Unfortunately this may have hindered their career. For some, a song called “Hey, Wanna Throw Up? Get Me Naked” is distracting, if not outright annoying. But the band’s penchant for linguistic juvenilia has little to do with their crafty, impeccably performed music. The band’s sound is built on interlocking guitar figures and a propulsive rhythm section. Members cut their teeth in a variety of technical hardcore groups before swapping shrewd menace for brainy cool. Fans of detail-obsessed indie acts such as Don Caballero and Karate will find plenty to enjoy on MTB’s latest, Menos el Oso. The new disc, which completely jettisons ironic song names, kicks off with “The Game Needed Me.” A silvery obelisk of crystalline guitars and dynamic percussion, the tune grabbed me right out of the gate. “We don’t have money, so we can’t lose it,” vocalist/guitarist Jake Snider sings over compelling, startstop riffs. His delivery is a disaffected croon, half melodic, half spoken. I’m normally not a fan of selfconscious detachment, but here, at least, it works. The latticework melodies of “Drilling” are supported by bobbing bass guitar and an intriguing drum pattern. The song’s picturesque lyrics read like a slacker travelogue: “This is us on a western Atlantic coast / With no place to be, just taking in the sea,” Snider plainly intones. A slice ’n’ dice breakbeat opens “The Fix.” The tune’s mechanical stutter-funk and terse rhythmic pulse achieves a musical cold fusion. “El Torrente”’s guitar blips are framed by a dub-style groove reminiscent of Radiohead’s “Airbag.” “Please let my girl go without knowing what I know / Don’t let her read this day on my face when I come home,” Snider sings in his most affecting performance. “Michio’s Death Drive” features contrapuntal guitars cribbed from Robert Fripp’s early ’80s playbook. Musically it’s complex stuff, but MTB’s punk pedigree keeps the nerd factor in check. “Fulfill the Dream” finds the group firing on all pistons, with spiky axework and rock-solid beats shoring up Snider’s tale of disappointing hook-ups. To their credit, Minus the Bear’s meticulousness doesn’t get in the way of their tunes. And now that they’ve dropped the goofy song titles, perhaps people will focus on their musical strengths.

HER WAY :: Big Apple-born songstress Alana Davis has music in her blood. The daughter of jazz artists, she grew up on soulful swing. But Davis’ own songs have a rock edge, boasting feisty guitars and emotionally charged vocals. Although championed by critics from the getgo, Davis spent several years wrestling with major labels over the direction of her music. Undaunted, she started her own imprint, Tigress Records. Her latest release, Surrender Dorothy, plays by its own rules. Get a taste

EXHIBIT “Objects of Focus: Shrines, Dolls & Fetishes,” mixed-media works by 12 local and national artists. Nina Gaby Studio & Gallery, Brookfield. Through May 15.

he ride to Brookfield can be bumpy in the waning days of Orange County’s mud season, but the historic town, population 1200, is worth a visit. Vermont’s first library was founded there in the 1700s, and Brookfield boasts the state’s only floating bridge, initially constructed in 1820. Nina Gaby Studio & Gallery is a newer attraction — a compact visual art venue that opened on January 1. For her current show, “Objects of Focus: Shrines, Dolls, Fetishes,” artist/curator Gaby selected quirky, mostly mixed-media works by a dozen artists from Vermont and elsewhere. Fiber artist Anna Ferri divides her time between Brookfield and Cambridge, Massachusettes. Her untitled mixed-media tapestry in this show is a dramatic 4-foot vertical. Its Asian-influenced, central painted panels reflect time Ferri spent in China. Gold and bronze fabric appliqué designs surround the painted areas. The outer edges are bands of blackand-gray-checkered cloth. The mysterious image has a shrine-like presence. Gaby suggests that the show highlights how we humans “amass objects, relationships, rituals, religious artifacts and dogma” in order to feel safe, connected or in control. Her “Fetish Totem 1: Fierce Attachments” is an aggregation of greeting cards, texts, an antique nude photo and other prosaic items attached to a thin, gold-painted box about 3 feet high. Gracefully looped copper wires run along its sides. Gaby also makes talismans, and molds from old dolls that are attached to tiles. “Juanita Takes Off” has little silver legs and painted sticks for its arms and neck.
BURLINGTON ARTIST MARKET: Artists who wish to participate in the Saturday marketplace May 20 - October 14 should contact Burlington City Arts by April 27. $15 per weekend. Info, 865-7165.

Review of actual works April 30 at SPA; deliver 11 a.m. - noon and pick up 4-5 p.m. Can bring up to four pieces; no images. The gallery also invites artists to participate in a group, multimedia show in June that will explore varied conceptions of families: What can we learn from them; what do they look like; what family events stand out? Deadline: May 6. Info for both, 479-7069. TERRA LINDA MARKET in Shelburne invites artists to display their work for a month or two. Info, call Timothy or Linda at 9851088 or stop by 3762 Shelburne Rd., Tennybrook Square.

weights have been added as legs. Ownbey also makes purely papiermâché fetishes. One such figure, entitled “Hungry,” is appropriately gaunt; red cloth is stuffed into its open rib cage — perhaps designed to ward off hunger?
Gaby suggests that the show highlights how we humans “amass objects, relationships, rituals, religious artifacts and dogma” in order to feel safe, connected or in control. Tiffany Ownbey of North Carolina uses antique doll parts, many from the early 19th century, in a very different way. Her reconfigured doll assemblages have juxtaposed textures, as she adds the heads to disparate pieces of metal or papier-mâché bodies. The wall-hung “Porcelain Headed Doll” has a tiny head attached to a flat, fanned-out yellow dress. Large, rusty
Artist Orlando Ortiz, from Rochester, N.Y., draws inspiration from Mexican retablo household shrines. He decorated “Des Colores” — a peaked, adobe board shrine painted red — with whimsical tchotchkes. Swags of beads frame a flowery plastic cross, and on a shelf beneath the cross are a little plastic globe, a smiling skull, a small toy basket and other items. Ortiz’ silver-and-
pale-blue “Aura de Christo” is a little less festive. Its cross is a hefty crucifix surrounded by scrap tin, small religious medals and spatters of black and red paint. An untitled installation by Diane Turenne of Worcester, Vt., is the most conceptually complex piece in the show. She presents a 7-foot-tall cross made from weathered wood and spangled with 18 color photographs documenting a ritual event: the burning of her wedding dress on a similar cross. Bits of charred fabric dangle from Turenne’s installation. To differentiate her cross-burning photos from those of the Ku Klux Klan, she has decorated hers with white Christmas lights. Her ritual and the installation that describes it clearly have deep personal significance. Gaby’s objective with “Objects of Focus” has been “to provide both the viewer and the artist a means of examining what lies behind an image, the archetype, the energy. By entering into this dialogue with the object, we can pause and focus for a moment on something beyond us or it.” The show’s selections perfectly focus on her intent. m

theborowitzreport U.S. TO SEND ONE TROOP TO IRAN
i
n an effort to punish the government of Iran for its nuclear ambitions, the Pentagon announced today that it was preparing to send one troop to Iran. The troop, Private John R. Klugian, who is currently stationed at Fort Dix, could be deployed to Iran as early as next month, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon For Mr. Rumsfeld, who has been criticized for not sending sufficient troops to Iraq, the decision to send only one troop to Iran seemed guaranteed to create even more controversy. But the defense secretary used the better part of his Pentagon press briefing to explain that sending one troop, in this case Private Klugian, was more than enough to quell Iran’s nuclear threat. “In the Army’s recruitment ads, they talk about an ‘Army
of One,’” Mr. Rumsfeld said. “In the case of Iran, we are taking that literally.” With U.S. troop levels stretched thin in Iraq and Afghanistan, sending Pvt. Klujian to deal with Iran on his own may have been a necessity,
one additional troop to help with the reconstruction,” he said. Mr. Rumsfeld said that he fully expected his latest military strategy to come under fire from his detractors, but he had stern words of warning for
I am fully prepared to send one additional troop to help with the reconstruction. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
military analysts believe. But Secretary Rumsfeld denied that by sending only one troop to Iran he was fighting the war there “on the cheap.” “I am fully prepared to send
those who would criticize it: “I would ask them to support our troop.” Elsewhere, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie begged paparazzi to stop stalking them with ultrasound equipment. m

PREVIEWS
Scary Movie 4 HHH
W THE RING Even Zucker can’t make a boxing parody work in the middle of a spoof of horror films.
hen the Wayans brothers released the Airplane!-inspired horror spoof Scary Movie in 2000, one of their wittiest touches was the movie’s tagline: “No mercy. No shame. No sequel.” Well, money, as they say, changes everything. The franchise is now on its fourth installment, and if that tagline were to be dusted off and updated today, it would also read, “No Wayans.” When you have a cash cow like this series, you pay somebody else to milk it, and it seems only fair that the job was offered to David Zucker, one of the directors of Airplane! In the first place, the guy’s career had nose-dived. Prior to signing on, his most recent screen achievement was the Ashton Kutcher-Tara Reid crime against humanity My Boss’s Daughter. This wasn’t just the worst film of 2003, it was one of the most appalling pictures ever made. In the second place, David Zucker did, after all, help invent the genre spoof as we know it. Along with partners Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, he earned a place in movie history with a run that included lowbrow highlights such as Top Secret and the Naked Gun series. After more than a quarter-century of dumb puns, pop-culture parodies and penis jokes, does Zucker still have what it takes to create fast-paced, brain-damaged satire? Well, yes and no. Scary Movie 4 is a decidedly hit-or-miss affair. There are moments as tasteless and inspired as anything the filmmaker has ever given us. And then there are the movie’s other 70 or so minutes. And the film is only 83 minutes long. Originally the mission of the Scary Movie franchise was to lampoon the Scream franchise. When the well ran dry there, its creators began taking aim at popular horror releases in general. At this point the plot, such as it is, appropriates comic fodder from a broad and predominantly random sampling of targets — everything from recent frightfests and films that have nothing to do with horror to politics and razz-worthy celebrities. Craig (Cinderella Man) Bierko does a riff on the character Tom Cruise played in War of the Worlds and, eventually, on the hyperactive actor himself. Anna (all four Scary Movies) Faris plays his neighbor and love interest. As Bierko occupies the center of an extended W.O.T.W. parody, Faris inhabits a parallel spoof of The Grudge. She takes a job caring for a
comatose woman in a haunted house located next to Bierko’s. Story lines intersect when the ghost of the dead boy who shares the home with Faris and her employer inform her that the secret to foiling the alien invasion can be found behind the walls of a mysterious community straight out of The Village. Needless to say, the movie’s plot is hardly the point. The point is nonstop, rapid-fire shtick. A handful of jokes, as I say, are inspired. My favorites include an early scene in which a towering structure rises out of the ground, to the horror of panicked onlookers. It’s a classic Zucker sight gag, a familiarlooking device with the word Tripod inscribed across it in a familiar font. Initially it selects a musical menu item and people begin to get down. It then self-corrects, switches to the option “Destroy Humanity” and all vaporizing hell breaks loose. Steve Jobs aside, everyone is likely to be amused. Another is a priceless bit featuring Zucker alum Leslie Nielsen as the President of the United States. As he sits in front of a classroom listening to a children’s book being read, an aide rushes in to inform him that the nation is under attack. Despite the dire news, he keeps his seat and continues to attend to the story. How do writers come up with stuff this nutty, anyway? Only in Hollywood, huh? Flatulence fans will not be disappointed. On the other hand, the picture’s cretinous, slapstick-to-clever gag ratio is likely to be unacceptably high for even the staunchest Stooges fan. Are we really expected to laugh when Chris Elliot repeatedly runs into walls and bangs his head on things? A Brokeback parody seems out of place and already dated. Ditto with an extended take on Million Dollar Baby. Zucker could no doubt put together a perfectly entertaining spoof of boxing movies, but even he can’t make the joke work in the middle of a horror-film satire. Timeless cinema this is not. Not that a picture like this can’t attain that level of indispensability. Zucker did it with both Airplane! and The Naked Gun. Neither he nor his writers are at the top of their games here, however. The best that spoof connoisseurs can hope for from Scary Movie 4 is the minimum number of on-the-money moments required to justify a Scary Movie 5. And not a single flatulence gag more. m

SEVEN DAYS BLUE YONDER RANCH
flick chick
BY SUSAN GREEN
SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Short Stuff
“Blue Yonder Ranch” is the 20-minute saga of a young man “with a horrible secret” who meets a beautiful call girl and spends an intense weekend at her brothel. Dark,” about a woman whose dreams are really a form of mind-control manipulated by her best friend. Harris created “Samsara” — “that’s the opposite of nirvana,” she points out — in 2000, her senior year as a University of Southern California film and English major. Loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe story, the psychological thriller concerns a conscience that takes on a life of its own by splitting from the rest of the protagonist’s persona. The piece traveled through America, Canada and the United
Kingdom with a touring festival of shorts. “Blue Yonder Ranch,” her latest enterprise, unspools at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Middlebury College’s Sunderland Hall. It’s the 20-minute saga of a young man “with a horrible secret” who meets a beautiful call girl and spends an intense weekend at her brothel on the Arizona-Nevada border. The idea emerged when Harris attended a USC writing class taught by acclaimed author T. Coraghessan Boyle. Shot on an Orange County soundstage during Memorial Day weekend in 2004, “Blue Yonder” cost about $15,000. “I’ve only raised $2000,” Harris acknowledges with a laugh. (Full disclosure: Harris has a part-time job assisting the Seven Days calendar writer that she hopes will help her retire the debt.) The decision to move to the Queen City was influenced by Internet research. “I discovered that there’s a very active arts scene here,” says Harris, whose family once vacationed near Newfane. “I was always enchanted by Vermont.” Every spring for the last decade, Professor Robert Gershon and his Castleton State College colleagues have hosted a festival of videos by high school students from all over Vermont. The 11th annual competitive event, on May 19, will screen four types of projects: narrative fiction, documentary, experimental/animation and public service announcements. The deadline for submissions is April 28. Although some of the kids craft light-
hearted videos, others may reflect the tough, contemporary issues confronting young people. “Three or four years ago, many seemed to deal with teen suicide. Another time, it was partner abuse,” says Gershon, who chairs the college’s communications department. “Between 40 and 50 videos are submitted every year,” explains Gershon. “We show them all, but the schools of first-place winners in each category are awarded $500 scholarships [for Castleton tuitions]. We don’t give the scholarships to individuals because it’s often a team effort. The list of credits can be as long as that of The Godfather.” For details, contact him at 4681268 or robert.gershon@castleton.edu. The University of Vermont Culture Jam Film Festival will present Gobi Women’s Song at 8 p.m. on Tuesday in the Campus Theater. Sas Carey of Middlebury made this doc about nomads during the course of three summers in Mongolia. Government activities with such suspect titles as Clear Skies Initiative or Operation Enduring Freedom might bring to mind George Orwell’s opening
sentence from 1984: “It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.” There’s nothing underhanded about a title like “Turn the Channel,” the name of a new series screening topical fare on the last Thursday of each month at 135 Pearl in Burlington. The gatherings, intended for an 18-and-older crowd, are free. Donations will be welcomed, however. “I wanted to help change the face of popular media with little-known political and social films,” says coordinator Rebecca Rogers, who decided to express her views through this art form after realizing that conventional protest “did not necessarily fit my personality.” Through a Montréal activist friend, she got in touch with Cinema Politica, a Québec nonprofit that sponsors six similar series in Canada and maintains a diverse list of thought-provoking pictures. On the 27th, the Vermont selection will be Surplus, a mockumentary about consumerism partly inspired by President George W. Bush’s repeated suggestion that shopping is a good way to defeat terrorism. Doublespeak and bizarre euphemisms continue. Can you hear those clocks striking 13? m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
Alistair changed his name to LIONEL because he liked trains. If rocks and dirt turn you on, be sure to take GEOLOGY. SUCCESS is in the eye of the beholder when beholding oneself. What did he mean, “RADAR is to gaydar as Moxie is to Biloxi”? The story of PENELOPE has two versions: one chaste, one not. A pudding that’s hasty may be too pasty and not very TASTY. CONSISTENCY in itself is not a hobgoblin; check the quote. What did she mean, “MODEM is to mojo as yeoman is to yoyo”? Old kid joke: OHIO is high in the middle and round on the edges. The flight of the BUMBLEBEE is not aerodynamically baffling. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HARD CAN BE. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Put last things first, sort of.

hen Vanessa Elizabeth Harris relocated from Los Angeles to Burlington last summer, her goal was to develop short films, write feature-length screenplays and find a measure of personal bliss. So far, that plan seems to be on track. “I’m so happy here,” says the 28year-old emigrée. “I didn’t know such happiness existed.” Despite this sunny outlook, Harris tends to make movies with rather gloomy subjects. While still in high school, she wrote and directed “Whispers in the

CHOCOLATE BEET BROWNIES REALLY? Yes!

Wash and cut beets in chunks, boil in water until fork tender, mash, set aside. Melt butter and chocolate over low heat, cool. Beat eggs until light, add sugar and vanilla, beating well. Stir in chocolate mixture, applesauce and beets. Sift flour, salt, spices and baking powder and stir into liquid ingredients. Fold in wheat germ and almonds. Turn into greased 9 x 13 pan, bake for 30–40 minutes. Cool and cut. Enjoy!

Asparagus is here in force…and soon we’ll have local. So this is a timely wine to pick up.

FASCINATING RHYTHM One of the hottest concerts at last year’s Montréal Jazz Festival combined influential Brazilian singer-songwriter João Bosco and Havana-born pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba. Widely credited with single-handedly shaping Brazilian popular music, the guitarist Bosco launched his musical career with a single on the B-side of a release by samba maestro Antonio Carlos Jobim. Gonzalo Rubalcaba commands hot-ticket attention for melding styles from Latin, Afro-Cuban and African-American jazz. Paired for the first time last year, the dynamic duo regroups this week for just two U.S. shows — at the Flynn and at Dartmouth’s Hopkins Center. Catch them with Bosco’s band, burnishing bossa nova beats into a new fusion of Latin jazz, rock and traditional folk.
JOAO BOSCO & GONZALO RUBALCABA Friday, April 21, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 8 p.m. $24-37. Info, 863-5966. Saturday, April 22, Spaulding Auditorium, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., 8 p.m. $26. Info, 603-646-2422. http://www.flynncenter.org http://www.hop.dartmouth.edu

scene@CELEBRATE THE FLEECE SHELBURNE FARMS, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 9:30 A.M. This was the first time I’d ever seen a Power Point presentation given in a barn. It was like a college class, but warped, with wooden beams instead of sterile white walls and hay bales for chairs. The students were two-dozen 5year-olds and their parents. William Jarvis first brought Merino sheep to Vermont from Australia, the man on the platform lectured. The sheep population peaked around 1840, declining as the West opened itself up to farming . . . There are currently 15,000 to 20,000 sheep in the state. . . The kids’ attention spans were pushed to the breaking point. A few of them chased chickens or poked at the rabbit cage. Wool is famous for its hydrophilic surface . . . can be bent 20,000 times without breaking . . . 150 yards of wool in every baseball because of its elastic recovery . . . Suddenly a sheep was pulled onto the platform. That got the kids’ attention. The shearing process isn’t unlike a haircut. The animal is wrangled into a sitting position, the farmer in back like a stylist behind his chair. I would imagine there would normally be some barber shop banter between them, but today the sheep must have felt a little exposed. It glared around at the crowd, belching out rounds of belligerent baaahhhs. Finally, the wool came off in one layer, like a giant coat. There was a round of applause, and the embarrassed sheep was ushered off stage. The children rushed to claim a piece of wool they would later clean, wash and color. Built in 1890, the five-story barn was originally used for blacksmithing, painting, carpentry and storing crops. Today its point is to remind us of Vermont’s history. Outside it was blustery, with clouds patching the sky, but the warm sun reminded me that soon we’ll be trading wool for water skis. I decided to call my friend and see when he’s putting his boat in the water, but there was no cellphone reception. Shelburne Farms truly is serving its purpose.

ALL THAT GLITTERS In the early 1960s, Branson, Missouri, was country music’s hardworking heart. The musical Streets of Gold follows a show-within-a-show about what happens when a Nashville name-act drop-out crashes the old-timey Spencer Family Ozark Mountain Jubilee. Penned by Mary Sue Price, a part-time Vermont resident whose soap opera scripts garnered her a 2003 Emmy Award, the play features original music by songwriting duo Robin and Linda Williams, of “A Prairie Home Companion� fame. Lost Nation Theater stages Streets’ world premiere in a three-week run through May 7, but opening-week audiences get a $5 ticket discount. This Friday, playwright Price saddles up for a pre-show equestrian street parade including local faves Cold Country Bluegrass, the show’s house band.
‘STREETS OF GOLD’ Thursday through Sunday, April 20-23, and Wednesday, April 26, Montpelier City Hall Auditorium, various times and prices. Info, 229-0492. http://www.lostnationtheater.org

Twelve Italian immigrants founded Barre’s Società di Mutuo Soccorso in 1906. The cooperative offered aid to its members, using its dues to employ physicians and nurses. It also paid death benefits to widows — no small thing in a town built on moving dangerous hunks of granite. Over time, the society became more of an Italian-American social club, hosting concerts, sports events and picnics, and today, spaghetti dinners and bingo. At a centennial talk sponsored by UVM’s Center for Research on Vermont, historian Mary Fregosi describes the organization’s early years. Arthur Ristau, formerly of the Associated Press, chronicles how the advent of Social Security and organized labor changed the society’s rationale of getting by with a little help from friends and famiglia.

WELL GROUNDED Earth Day events in Burlington and beyond remind participants that this globe is the only home we’ve got. Alternative-fuel connoisseurs putter around a clean-car show. Soil-dabblers help build beds for the Ethan Allen Homestead’s new Community Teaching Garden via an earth-filled bucket brigade, or take in a seminar on how to plant species that absorb rainwater runoff. A pro-garden pep talk posits green thumbs as planetary stewards. And cost-conscious fashionistas can embrace funky thrift as part of an environmentally up-and-up clothing and art swap, fashion show and charity auction that promotes recycling over retail.

AUSTEN POWER The novels of English author Jane Austen, who lived from 1775 to 1817, explore social relationships in Regency-era England. Many of her works, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility among them, have been translated into gorgeous period films. The books seem to be a particularly female rite of passage, but both men and women can get clued into an important Regency-era social pastime this month, thanks to a series of events that tie Austen’s oeuvre to English country dancing, a forerunner to New England-style contra dancing. Austen assumed that her audience understood dance and its importance in polite society. To prep for a costume-clad, period ball on April 29, New Jersey-based Austen scholar and English country dance instructor Beverly Francis illuminates the dance references in Austen’s novels, followed by a walk-through of a dance popular in the author’s day.

APRIL 20-26
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “When the
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Psycho-
only tool you have is a hammer,” said psychologist Abraham Maslow, “you tend to treat everything as if it were a nail.” Since it will be crucial for you not to regard everything as if it were a nail in the coming weeks, Aries, I suggest you make sure your toolbox is filled with screwdrivers, wrenches, drills, crowbars and chisels, as well as hammers. If you want to nudge your craftsmanship even further outside of the box, you might also want to expand your definition of what a tool is. Remember that old TV show “MacGyver”? The hero used a paper clip to short-circuit the launch of a missile, and a candy bar to plug up a leak of corrosive acid.
therapist James Hillman and essayist Michael Ventura wrote the book We’ve Had a Hundred Years of Psychotherapy and the World’s Getting Worse. In it, they propose that resolving our problems may not necessarily come from sitting in a room talking about our deep, private feelings with a trusted counselor. Instead, the best approach might be to go out into the world and do good works such as helping the underprivileged or fighting for social justice. That happens to be the right prescription for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. As you marshal your moral force and collaborate with other people who are motivated by altruism, you’ll heal your own personal pain.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): It’s perfectly fine for you to have dreamy eyes in the coming days — wistful, hopeful, liquid eyes that are more focused on the fantasies within than on the sights without. Muse to your heart’s content, Taurus. Wander over to paradise in your imagination. Entertain utopian visions. As much as is practical, give yourself permission to visit La La Land, where you can explore infinite possibilities, imaginary adventures and “forbidden” topics that up until now you haven’t dared to play with.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): Poet Kay Ryan told the Christian Science Monitor how she cultivates the inspiration to write. She rouses the sense of a “self-imposed emergency,” thereby calling forth psychic resources that usually materialize only in response to a crisis. Please note that she doesn’t provoke an actual emergency: She doesn’t arrange, for instance, to have a loved one get pinned beneath the wheels of a car. Instead, she visualizes hypothetical situations that galvanize her to shift into a dramatically heightened state of awareness. This would be an excellent technique for you to try, Gemini. It’s quite possible that simulating an imaginary crunch will prevent a real crunch. So picture yourself rescuing a talking parrot from a burning pet store; envision yourself making a snappy comeback that halts the abusive behavior of an out-of-control authority; imagine a nightmare in which you save the world.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): It may be a good idea for you to hang around a blacksmith or pay a visit to a foundry. You would benefit from gathering firsthand evidence of how metals can be melted, bent, cut and worked. That might boost your confidence as you seek to reshape a certain situation in your life that to the naked eye seems utterly fixed and impossible to change. You have more power than you know, Leo, but in order to use it you’ll have to believe in it more zealously.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In early spring, some of our forebears made love in newly seeded fields, hoping to magically propitiate the growth of the crops. Right now would be an excellent time for you to perform a similar ritual on behalf of what you love. If you’re game, find a secluded outdoor spot on a warm day. Bring a partner if one’s available, or take the Earth or sky as your lover. Then carry out a rite of pleasure in which you offer up the spiritual essence of your bliss to the health and success of a beloved person or creature or situation that you want to thrive in the coming months.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The spirits of some of your dead ancestors are in your psychic vicinity, eager to make appearances in your dreams and waking visions. They’re hoping to fill you in on a number of subjects that will help you
BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone. navigate your way through the labyrinthine terrain ahead. They have interesting speculations about what might work and not work for someone of your genetic make-up, and they also have perspectives that will help you put your upcoming decisions in a richer historical context. Even if you’re a materialistic, scientific person and scoff at the idea of dead ancestors providing useful information, I urge you to temporarily suspend your disbelief. Adopt a playful open-mindedness and at least pretend it’s possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As you enter the Season of Unleashed Desire, here are a few guidelines to help you navigate your way through the interesting complexities ahead. (1) Consider the possibility that you have a lot to learn about what you really want. (2) Find out whether your chronic anger is obstructing the full bloom of a potentially beautiful desire. (3) Be careful about desiring experiences you don’t understand. (4) Meditate on the likelihood that some of your desires are superior to others, and that maybe you should cultivate those superior desires with more determination that you do the mediocre ones.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In contemplating your astrological omens, I’m reminded of Terence McKenna’s comment about a friend who “hurled herself into the abyss and discovered that it was a feather bed.” If you can summon the courage to dive into the scary depths, Sagittarius, I do believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the comfy, luxurious digs that await you at the end of your descent. Now go ahead and yell “Geronimo!” — which the dictionary defines as an exclamation used to express exhilaration when leaping from a great height.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his book False Alarm: The Truth About the Epidemic of Fear, Dr. Marc K. Siegel argues that our circumstances are far better than we’ve been conditioned to believe. In fact, only a fraction of our culture’s histrionic pessimism is justified. Alas, the collective delusion that life is totally messed up has seeped into your personal life (as it
has into mine and everyone’s), tainting even your most intimate moments. But in the coming weeks, it’s crucial that you fight to undo the brainwashing. Opportunities will be coming your way that will remain inaccessible if you’re too busy indulging in knee-jerk cynicism. So please resist the hypnotic temptation to look for the worst in everything. Be a fiercely buoyant nonconformist. Make this Nietzschean principle your watchword: Optimism tends to engender good health, while pessimism leads to morbidity.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Two friends of mine teach elementary school. They agreed to help me conduct a survey to determine how many first-graders eat worms, and what astrological signs they are. Among the 68 kids whom my buddies asked, seven boys enthusiastically bragged about their odd culinary habit. One girl also confessed, though with a little embarrassment. Of these eight, five were — you guessed it — Aquarians. I wasn’t surprised, seeing as how your sign is renowned for being the most eccentric. I was also quite pleased at the results. It made it easier for me to broach the unusual suggestion I have for you, which is that maybe you, too, should eat worms. This is the most direct way I can think of for you to carry out your current cosmic assignment, which is to come way down to earth.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some people imagine that I’m a bohemian mystic who lives outside the system and disdains conventional wisdom. That’s half-true. I’m also a disciplined artist with a fondness for analytical thinking and a commitment to self-mastery. In accordance with your current astrological omens, I will emphasize the latter approach in your horoscope this week. No matter how flowing and unbound you love to be, it’s high time for you to inject more organization and logic and self-regulation into your rhythm. Your Tarot card is the Emperor, “he who sets in order.”

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, My friend “Rhonda” just started dating “Harry.” He’s not exactly my cup of tea, but I’ve held back on telling Rhonda. I figure it’s her life. And it’s not as if he seems like an axe murderer or anything. But then I was talking to my other friend “Jill,” and Harry’s name came up. Turns out Jill went to school with him about 20 years ago, and said he was then a serious slime ball. She said to me, “If you’re any kind of friend to Rhonda, you’ll warn her off this guy. He’s major, major bad news.” Is Jill right? I’m afraid that if I tell Rhonda what I know it will get back to Harry and he’ll be pissed at me. What should I do? Worried in Winooski Dear Worried, Unless Jill’s definition of slime ball includes axe murderer, stay out of it. After 20 years, no one should be condemned for how they were perceived when they were in college. If Harry hasn’t grown up and gotten his act together by now, Rhonda will find out for herself soon enough. Love, Lola

Hello. I’m Snoop and here’s the scoop! I am a 7-to 8-year-old neutered male Beagle. I was rescued from a neglectful situation. I am calm, playful, mellow, confident, and talkative at times. I am a smart dog and know ‘sit’ and also like to ‘clap hands’. It’s cute. Wait till you see it! I really love my toys and enjoy fetching them, chewing them, or engaging in a gentle game of tug now and then. For a dog my age, I’m quite sprightly and energetic. I would do best in a home with kids 13 and up where there is someone at home most of the time. I sometimes get into barking when left alone. I do need to lose weight and in addition to playing with toys, I enjoy going for walks, so that should be a regular part of each day so that I can regain a fit figure and be healthy. I am food motivated (obviously) and would like to attend reward-based training classes like the ones they offer right here at HSCC. Right now I don’t seem to enjoy being hugged, but I might learn to enjoy it once I know you better. I have strong ideas about what I want to do, so I need someone who will be a firm, but gentle, leader in my life. I get along with other dogs, too. My last people didn’t take the best care of me – I am looking forward to a home full of happiness and love! Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
