weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER
She’s Right
SOMETHING ABOUT MARTHA After reading Peter Freyne’s article regarding Martha Rainville’s political contributions from Republican Leadership PACs [“Inside Track,” April 19], I decided to do a little research of my own. Turns out Peter’s article is just the tip of the iceburg. With a few clicks of the mouse, the innocuously named Leadership PACs (i.e., The Good Fund) reveal the “leaders” behind the funds. Martha’s leaders are overwhelmingly anti-stem cell research, anti-choice, anti-environment, anti-labor, anti-Social Security and anti-reducing our dependence on oil and coal. This is not to say they are anti-everything. In fact they are for decreasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans, for weakening House ethics rules, for privatizing Social Security, for prayer in school, and for coal and oil. Many of these “leaders” are awash in Tom DeLay money. Why are these extreme radicals giving money to Martha, and more importantly, why is she cashing the checks? Laura Cary

Consumer freedom is overrated anyway Ever wonder what our citizen legislature is up to under the golden dome? Why, they are looking for ways to make Vermont more expensive to live in, of course! The latest offender is a bill that will mandate that only “energy efficient” appliances can be sold in Vermont. According to a Burlington Free Press article, “Some appliances will be more expensive because they have to meet stricter standards, some of the bill’s backers acknowledged.” But, they don’t really care as long as they are fulfilling their liberal obligation to make it look like they are doing something important, while they are really just trying to break Vermont into that number one spot as the most expensive and business unfriendly state in the union. Great job, guys! That’s what we keep electing you for... I think it goes without saying that I dislike this legislation because I am an evil conservative who hates the environment, but another reason to dislike it is because it is another example of the government taking away our freedom as consumers and as business owners. What I don’t understand is how, in a state full of liberals, we don’t already have an overwhelming voluntary compliance with the policy of purchasing energy efficient appliances. Maybe the legislature should call for a summer study committee to look into that.

SEALED WITH A KISS What’s on the new mayor’s agenda for the next two years [“Inside Track,” April 5]? Are we going to walk on better sidewalks? Drive on better roadways? See less racial profiling by city police officers? Utilize an effective recycling program? Are we going to see a few

public restrooms, or do you have to pretend that you’re going to shop in a store in order to use the bathroom? Two years isn’t enough for anybody with a focused agenda to accomplish any thing. Perhaps we need to give mayors more time in office so they can have enough time to do things that really matter, things that really make a difference in a city that’s growing at such magnitude. Mayor Kiss, good luck to you and we are all waiting to see some improvements, aren’t we? Waell Murray BURLINGTON
Editor’s note: The Burlington mayor serves for three years, not two, since citizens voted in 2003 to change the term length. MEDICAL ADVISORY A recent article, “Sneezin Season” [“Fit to Live,” April 12], addressed the subject of asthma and allergies. In the article Elizabeth Jaffe, M.D., suggests alternative treatments for allergies and asthma provide no benefit. This attitude is indicative of the narrow-minded arrogance that is pervasive in the American medical industry. I didn’t notice anything in the article stating that Dr. Jaffe is trained in alternative techniques, and therefore can form a qualified opinion about them. Considering the U.S. has the highest per capita health-care costs

in the industrialized world, and does not provide the world’s best health care, it would behoove our medical establishment to acknowledge that there are a number of areas where so-called alternative therapies may be beneficial, and possibly better, than mainstream allopathic techniques. One of the primary motives of our healthcare industry is to boost pharmaceutical profits. Many drugs used in this country are compounds that have been synthesized from plants that are used in their natural states in other societies. Since you cannot patent a natural substance, the pharmaceutical industry, with the help of the FDA, attempts to discredit any natural cure so your local herbalist cannot erode the profits of this industry, which supports the media and politicians with its financial excesses. The irony is that there are numerous drugs in this country that are legal in spite of harmful side effects, including death. As a scientist, Dr. Jaffe is probably correct in noting that there isn’t good proof that acupuncture and homeopathy help with asthma and allergies. The reason for this is that the standard double blind experiments are not traditionally used in these methods. The cost of these tests is substantial, and cannot be borne by an industry that is more concerned with the holistic treatment of an individual than it is in supporting profits.

I also find it disturbing that Seven Days would not make the effort to consult with an alternative therapist in order to substantiate Dr. Jaffe’s claims. Shouldn’t responsible journalism attempt to prove or refute the claims made by an individual? I suppose Seven Days does not want to appear to have a conflict of interest. Since your paper is not rife with advertisements from drug companies, which appear in virtually every other printed publication and broadcast media, at least you can’t be accused of favoring the alterna-
tive practitioners who frequently advertise in your paper. David H. Carter WOLCOTT
COPPING LAPTOPS Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rich Tarrant has written to several high schools in the state, offering summer jobs for students to work in his campaign. He has promised that these employed students can keep the laptop computers that they will be using after the summer job has ended and the campaign is over.
Mr. Tarrant has the legal right to make this offer. Yet, it smacks of bribery and exploitation. Students who do not already own a laptop might be more attracted to the computer than to the candidate. Is Mr. Tarrant disingenuously aiming at the votes of students’ family and adult friends through this offer? If Mr. Tarrant was really interested in serving the needs of students rather than enticing them during the election campaign, why doesn’t he donate at least one laptop to a student of every high school in the state based on finan-
cial need, rather than the needs of the campaign, without screening as to political preferences? Students could earn their laptop by donating time in the form of community service. I will vote for Bernie Sanders because of his demonstrated integrity, commitment to political principles with which I resonate, and proven service to Vermonters throughout his years of public service. Regardless of whom you vote for in November, let it be said of Vermonters after this election cycle that neither our people nor our votes were for sale. Michael Schaal SOUTH BURLINGTON
IDIOT RAG Seven Days has run — twice — a particular cartoon, “Idiot Box� [April 12] that offers the following “Torture Tip� from a masked figure: “I find that slipping a hot iron in their anus really gets the names a flowin’. Careful. Too deep and they pass out.� What exactly is the point of this? Is it meant to be some sort of ironic (funny?) comment on violence against women? Is it an attempt at humor I am missing? Seven Days is a free publication and, to some extent, readers get what they pay for, however, I really don’t need to see this. Maybe I’m being prudish but I wouldn’t use this paper to housebreak a puppy. It’s just gross.
Wine Works Specials!
And, in a similar vein, the word “fuck� appears way too often in your publication. It’s not hip, cool, alternative and certainly isn’t rare today — but I still don’t need to read it in the newspaper. Try and show a little class and define “alternative� upwards instead ofdownwards. Jeff Gauthier BURLINGTON
WEIGHT AND SEE I appreciated your coverage of the Run Girl Run program’s report to the governor on the results of their Heart Healthy Town Survey [“Grade School Girls to Governor: No Fat Chicks Wanted,� April 12]. However, I want to clarify that the survey, as well as the Run Girl Run program, promote environments where physical activity and healthy eating are easy and accessible, with no focus on weight. The headline on the article and the first paragraph implied that these young women are urging Governor Douglas to “cut the fat,� which is inaccurate and misleading. Getting regular physical activity and eating healthy are essential to feeling good, performing well in school and work, and preventing and managing the symptoms of numerous chronic diseases. These are the key messages of Run Girl Run and other Fit and Healthy Kids programs. Suzanne Kelley BURLINGTON

BURLINGTON — It’s been a long time since Achier Mou, a senior at the University of Vermont, heard good news about his native country of Sudan. Since he began college nearly four years ago, more than 400,000 of his fellow countrymen have been killed in the ongoing genocide. Another 3.5 million have been driven from their homes, and 90 percent of their villages have been looted and burned. Four million others, most of whom reside in Sudan’s Darfur region, still live under the daily threats of disease, starvation, rape, torture and murder. Mou himself doesn’t know how many of his family members, including his mother, have fared. But last week, Mou finally had something small, albeit important, to smile about. The UVM Committee on Socially Responsible Investing voted unanimously to recommend that the board of trustees adopt a policy of “targeted divestment” of companies that do business with the Sudanese government. The decision was reached shortly after Mou and fellow UVM senior Jeffrey Skoldberg gave the committee an hour-long presentation on the history of the Sudanese genocide, as well as on divestment strategies that have been adopted by other colleges and universities around the United States. “Targeted divestment” involves severing financial ties with companies that provide financial and/or military support to the Sudanese regime in Khartoum, but not companies whose work benefits the civilian population. Targeted divestment is generally aimed at the oil, energy, weapons and telecommunications industries. Mou explained that the Sudanese government has been funding its genocidal war largely though oil profits, which account for nearly three-quarters of that country’s annual revenues. “No money goes to civilians,” Mou told the committee. “There is no Social Security. There are no roads. It all goes to buying weapons.” Skoldberg, a UVM business major, acknowledged that divestiture may be “a difficult and complicated thing to do,” because UVM is invested in several pooled funds with other large institutions. Moreover, he admitted that the impact on Sudan of UVM’s divestment would, by itself, be minimal. Currently, the univeristy has $39.1 million invested in non-U.S. equities; it’s unclear what percentage of those holdings would need to be sold off. Nevertheless, Skoldberg pointed out that UVM’s divestment would have a cumulative effect. Colleges and universities such as Yale, Harvard, Amherst, Dartmouth, Stanford and Brown have already stopped investing in Sudan-friendly companies. In fact, when the Board of Regents of the University of California — which holds about $10 billion in direct foreign investments — voted to divest on March 16, it marked the largest financial withdrawal from Sudan to date. “If ever there was a line in the sand to be drawn on investments,

surely genocide crosses that line,” Skoldberg said. Mou and Skoldberg are members of the campus group Students Take Action Now: Darfur, or STAND, which has been urging UVM to adopt such a policy. Last week, the group held a campus-wide educational campaign on the Darfur genocide, which included teach-ins, talks, fundraisers and films. The group also erected a “Sudan field of flags” on the campus green, with 980 flags, each representing 5000 Sudanese murdered since the end of British colonial rule in 1956. The UVM Committee on Socially Responsible Investing, which is comprised of students, faculty, staff, administrators and trustees, made a decision that was “lightning-fast” by administrative standards, noted committee Chair John Snow. The speed reflected both the urgency of the crisis and STAND’s thorough work on this measure, he said. STAND only approached the committee in February with its divestiture proposal, and committee members deliberated less than 15 minutes before reaching a deci-
sion. Snow recommended that the motion be considered at the next meeting of the university’s Investment Committee. If approved, the matter will go before the full UVM Board of Trustees in late May. Currently, three states — Oregon, Illinois and New Jersey — have passed Sudan divestiture laws. Twenty-three others, including Vermont, are considering similar legislation. Last year, Vermont Sen. Matt Dunne (DWindsor) introduced a Senate resolution calling on the three state retirement boards to work with state Treasurer Jeb Spaulding to implement a policy of disinvestment from Sudan. Since then, Spaulding has been participating in a working group with other state treasurers’ offices and public pension funds to try to be “agents of positive change” in Sudan. Their approach appears to be more one of “constructive engagement” with companies that do business in Sudan, rather than blanket divestment, however. Vermont’s three public pension funds total about $3 billion. m

Irish-Themed Flavor Serves Up a Bloody Sundae

“Pleasure in Every Bite!”
BY CATHY RESMER
Pizzeria/Takeout/Delivery: 655-5555 Casual Fine Dining (upstairs) Reservations: 655-0000 The Bakery (lower level): 655-5282 SOUTH BURLINGTON — When Ben & Jerry’s launched its new, beerthemed Black & Tan ice cream in March, the Vermont-based company issued a press release inviting customers to “toast St. Patrick’s Day with a frosty pint . . . of ice cream!” But an article in the April 20 edition of the Belfast Telegraph reports that the name of the Ben & Jerry’s flavor has “caused outrage among consumers in the Republic.” That’s because many on the Emerald Isle still recall the brutality of British soldiers, known as the Black and Tans, who served in an irregular police force in Ireland from 1920 until 1922, during the country’s war for independence. The notorious troops were memorialized in a song called “Come Out Ye Black and Tans.” The chorus goes: “Oh, come out you Black and Tans. Come out and fight me like a man.” Some of these troops were reported to have taken part in the 1920 Bloody Sunday killings. Not to be confused with the 1972 Bloody Sunday slayings in Derry, memorialized in the U2 song, this slaughter claimed 12 lives at a football match in Dublin. The famously socially conscious ice cream maker was apparently unaware of this connection. Ben & Jerry’s merely meant to invoke the popular drink that mixes stout and ale.

After a Five-Month Shutdown, Advocacy Organization Gets a New Lease on Life BY CATHY RESMER
BURLINGTON — The phones never stop ringing at Vermont Tenants Inc., which runs the state’s only hotline for renters. But the program was forced to lay off its two advocates last fall because of federal budget cuts to the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity. Since November, callers and visitors to VTI’s North Winooski Avenue office got a message saying the 22-year-old agency, which publishes the popular “Renting in Vermont Handbook,” could no longer offer information or advice. The organization aided 1200 Vermont households last fiscal year. The U.S. Senate in January restored funding to the Community Development Block Grant program, which funds VTI. This week, VTI’s outgoing phone message finally changed. Ted Wimpey, CVOEO’s director of statewide housing services, says that VTI advocate Pam Favreau is now taking calls, just in time for
the spring student housing turnover. Call 864-0099 with your security deposit and roommate issues, and leave a message. Favreau will get back to you. Until October, anyway — this fiscal year ends in September, and it’s possible that VTI will once again be on the chopping block. m

UVM Students Pay for Facebook Faux Pas

BY CATHY RESMER
BURLINGTON — Flipping through the college Facebook used to be a great way to get to know your classmates. But the 2campus-based year-old social networking website — www.facebook.com — may occasionally provide a little too much information. The site, which has more than seven million users at 2100 colleges and universities and 22,000 high schools nationwide, is open only to people with email addresses ending in .edu. And only members of a school’s real community can browse its virtual facebook community and interest groups: people who ride bikes, for example, or math majors. Or so it seems. In reality, parents, employers, law enforcement officers and journalists can easily sneak a peek at what students are posting to the site. And that’s landed some University of Vermont students in hot water. Kids seeking props from their peers will do the darndest things. For example, one UVM Facebook group calls itself “I go to UVM and I smoke trees.� Its profile photo shows a marijuana plant posed in front of an American flag. More than 250 students have joined. Click on their profile thumbnails and you can usually find their names, interests, email addresses and dorm room numbers. It’s startlingly easy to find snapshots of students smoking pot; some of them look as if they’re taking bong hits in their dorm rooms. One woman in the group uses a picture of a few dank clumps of weed as her profile photo. Publishing such incriminating evidence on the Internet is clearly unwise, especially since students aren’t the only ones who have access to the site. UVM faculty and staff also have uvm.edu email addresses, and can create their own accounts; UVM Chief of Police Gary Margolis has one. That means information posted to Facebook is essentially public, says Stacey Miller, UVM’s director of Residential Life. Earlier this year, Miller had to dismiss a student Residential Advisor because of photos posted to Facebook that showed the R.A. violating campus policies. “Students think they’re having these private conversations with each other,� Miller observes, “and they’re really not.� UVM administrators aren’t the only ones grappling with this issue. Campus newspapers across the country are running stories about students who have been disciplined for posting material to the site. Earlier this month, a student at Arizona State University who was pictured in photos on Facebook holding beer and pot in his dorm got evicted from on-campus housing. Miller says UVM doesn’t officially monitor the site. “We’re not checking up on them,� she says. But, Miller adds, “it’s widely used to see what’s going on in school culture.�

Miller and her staff have actually investigated three R.A.s this year for objectionable Facebook postings; two of them were allowed to remain on the job. In each case, she says, Res Life acted on a tip from another student. “It usually is brought to our attention by a third party,� she reports, “usually a disgruntled resident who’s been cited by the R.A. Unfortunately we have to follow up on those situations.� That may be how campus police found out about “John,� a UVM undergraduate who posted a photo to Facebook in which he appeared to be smoking pot. John, who spoke about his case on the condition that he remain anonymous, says the cops came to

Miller says she’s gotten numerous calls this year from parents who have looked up their kids’ future roommates on Facebook. Some parents have demanded a switch because the roommate doesn’t like the right music, or is gay. Miller, sounding exasperated, dubs Facebook “the devil.� But Elaine Young, an associate professor at Champlain College, disagrees with that assessment. Young teaches students about sites such as Facebook and MySpace in her e-business marketing classes. She says the networks

He writes in an email that he has since cleaned up his act. “Basically my advice would just be for everyone to remember that the Internet is public domain,� he writes. “Local, state, and federal law enforcement are watching.� Apparently employers are eyeing the site, too. Jonathan Bove, a UVM grad student in higher education, runs R.A. trainings. He tells students about a friend at Rochester Institute of Technology who worked as an intern for Intel.

Young argues that educators need to learn more about the sites, so they can help students avoid making fools of themselves online. “We have to be able to explain it, as faculty and teachers,� she says. She notes that Champlain will be offering a course next fall that examines and critiques online social networking sites. Young is also planning a workshop for parents at orientation, to show them how students can use social networking sites as an extension of their resumes. “If young people are jumping on this and using it,� Young says, “we can’t just shut the students off from it.� m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Style-Change at City Hall
PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
S
o you’ve already forgotten who eventually won Burlington’s first instant-runoff mayoral election in March, eh? You’re not alone. Former Progressive State Rep. Bob Kiss from Ward 1 has been on duty in the top-floor corner office for more than three weeks, but he’s drawn little in the way of attention. Can anyone imagine his predecessors going this long without holding a press conference on something?
THE “VOICE,” SO FAR OF MAYOR BOB KISS
Certainly folks in and around city government have noticed a dramatic change. Sources who spoke on condition of anonymity described the new mayor of Vermont’s largest city as a “man who speaks very, very softly and quietly. You have to listen carefully. Bob doesn’t fill a room,” said one city worker. Another city government source described Mayor Kiss, a Wisconsin native, as “a very stoic Midwesterner. He’s not Bernie and he’s not Peter.” That’s obvious. But another veteran emphasized that Mayor Kiss’ policy inclinations “are right on!” Kiss has “good sensibilities,” we’re told. But already, this source conceded, “There’s a little confusion over interpretation.” When Mayor Kiss “finally opens his mouth at a meeting and makes a statement, is that policy? Or is it just a random thought in his head?” asked a City Hall veteran. In fact, many of the random thoughts in Bob Kiss’ head are expressed for the world to see on the tailgate of his white Isuzu pick-up truck, pictured here. You see, being the Queen City’s mayor means being able to park free of charge in the mayor’s designated, reserved parking space on Main Street. One of few perks, but a valuable one in traffic-jammed Burlap! In an “Inside Track” interview, Mayor Kiss assured us that all is well and that he’s “gradually getting familiar with coming to City Hall everyday.” Kiss said he is “definitely reading more material. There’s piles of things to read. The really positive thing is meeting people: city department directors, more and more people, the community. That’s all progress,” he said. “We’ve also had two city council meetings, several finance board meetings, sort of that process is underway, sort of learn-
ing local government, you know?” Excellent! Everyone has to start somewhere. But the feedback we’re getting from City Hall veterans is that the rookie mayor represents a sea change in style. Yes, he’s been going to meetings, but the word is he says very, very little and does not assume a leadership role. Rather, he comes across like just one of the employees. A real regular guy. We asked Mayor Kiss about that. About how some city employees describe him as an “introvert,” in sharp contrast to the extroverts — Peter Clavelle and Bernie Sanders — in whose footsteps he follows. Some, we told Kiss, are already calling him “Silent Bob.” Da’ mayor chuckled at that. “I’ve been Googling the meaning of introvert,” he replied. “But I bet you can explain it. You’ll have to get it to me when you find it.” Funny guy, eh? The new mayor of Vermont’s largest city described his personality as that of a “contemplative,” rather than an “introvert.” Yes, he’s a listener more than a talker, but he insisted he was in the spotlight in the 1990s during his days running CVOEO on North Street. “In Burlington, you’re never anonymous,” said Silent Bob, “and now I’m definitely not anonymous. I’ve always said like when I worked at CVOEO, I worked with people not on them, and that’s what I think I’ll be doing here in Burlington as mayor. My style of leadership,” he continued, “really is, I think, kind of knowing the issue and trying to make your way through the best process to have something be effective at the other end. I think I was successful a lot of times in the past doing that. That’s sort of the process I’m in now.” As for predicting if his “media style” will differ from that of his predecessors, Kiss told us, “It’s too early to say that.” His avoidance of the press in his first three weeks in office, he said, “wouldn’t be a good predictor of the future.” But one thing that might be a good predictor of the future, we’d suggest, is the way the new mayor of Progressive Burlington handles power and privilege. Take the mayor’s parking space. “Peter [Clavelle] said that one of the benefits was that there was a parking place — so when you had to leave during the day there was a parking place to come back to,” said Silent Bob. “It does make life easier.” Has the mayor, we asked, had the experience of finding someone else’s vehicle in the mayor’s space? “Yes,” replied Kiss. “Someone else has parked in it. Of course. A couple times. That’s always interesting, too.” So did you call the cops to have it towed? “No” answered the elected leader of the People’s Republic of Burlington, INSIDE TRACK >> 16A

Tarrant Gets Testy — If conservative Republican software gazillionaire Ritchie “Rich� Tarrant doesn’t defeat Independent left-wing Congressman Bernie Sanders in November, it might be for reasons other than George W. Bush’s deceit, dishonesty and incompetence. That was obvious Monday when Candidate Tarrant was the guest speaker at the Burlington Rotary luncheon at the Wyndham Hotel. One would think that a U.S. Senate candidate would want press coverage of his public campaign speeches. Not Mr. Tarrant. His campaign is the most tightly controlled we can recall. Press releases are issued announcing “Free Spaghetti Dinners� with the candidate, but that’s about it. It may be because Tarrant hasn’t adapted yet to his new role as an aspiring “servant of the people,� rather than the BigBoss, “Because I Say So!� role he played at IDX for more than three decades. And he played it very, very well, selling out to General Electric in December for a cool $1.2 billion. Fortunately, a Rotarian tipped us off about Tarrant’s appearance. Wouldn’t miss it for the world. Tarrant gave the Rotarians the same basic campaign rap he’s been giving everywhere. We heard the same spiel at a recent spaghetti dinner. But Ritchie Rich made one tiny impromptu script change Monday. When Tarrant got to the part where he expresses his personal loathing for the “partisan hatred� that’s hurting America, he added a few timely lines. He told the crowd about this Saturday’s scheduled Flynn Center appearance by comedian and Air America talk show host Al Franken. It’s a fundraiser for the Bernie Sanders Senate Campaign, and you can bet it’ll be packed. “One of the things I talk about,� Tarrant told the 50 Rotarians, “is partisan hatred. I mean loyal opposition that Thomas Jefferson talked about is great. Partisan hatred stinks.� Amen, brother! But suddenly the candidate got personal. “You know what?� said Tarrant, “I’ll tell you flat out. Al Franken should not be coming to this state!� What? Close the borders, Ritchie? “This state is about moderate voices, common sense and getting things done. This partisan

hatred, I hate!� shouted Mr. Megamillions. He swore that the king of right-wing talk radio Rush Limbaugh “will never come to this state for me.� (Bet the Sanders Campaign would volunteer to pay Limbaugh’s expenses, eh?) “When all is said and done,� said Tarrant, “Vermonters will vote in a way that will help the country and not perpetuate partisan hatred. That’s what I believe.� Look, yours truly will confess up front: We’re not a big fan of Al Franken. A little too dry for our tastes. But hey, humor is in the eye of the beholder. After the Rotary meeting broke up, we asked the Republican Senate candidate to provide some evidence that Franken is truly a purveyor of “partisan hatred.� Here’s a transcript of that pleasant interview: Track: Why shouldn’t Al Franken come to Vermont? Tarrant: Because he stands for partisan hatred, and I think he and the other talking heads in both parties are just throwing flame on the fire and we need to pull together. Track: But this is a guy known as a comedian, a performer; he has a right to express his views, doesn’t he? Tarrant: Everybody has a right to express their views, but I think politicians, it says something about themselves based on who they ask to help them. That’s just the way it is. I would never ask some of the right-wing extremists. I don’t think it helps Vermont. I don’t think it helps the country. Partisan hatred is gone too far. We got to pull together. Track: Have you listened to Franken lately? Tarrant: Yes. I heard him with Russert about a week or two ago. Track: Well, if Russert will talk to him, why do you want to ban him from Vermont? Tarrant: I’m not trying to ban anybody from Vermont. It’s partisan hatred that’s a bad thing. What is hard to understand about that? Track: Give me an example of Franken connected to hatred? Tarrant: Franken and others like that who are at the extremes hurt the country more than they help ’em. Track. One example... Tarrant: Next question! Track. ...of being extreme by Franken? Tarrant: Another question! Track: Will you answer my question? You didn’t give me an example. Tarrant: I just answered your question. Track: Give me an example? Tarrant: I’m not about giving examples. I don’t have everything he said at hand. Track: Not a word? Tarrant. And don’t twist that into something I didn’t say! Track. Give me an example of Franken expressing “partisan hatred?� Tarrant: I don’t have an example at hand. Do you want me to look it up?
End of interview. Needless to say, Mr. Tarrant was not speaking in hushed tones. We told him that if he found evidence to support his attack on comedian Al Franken, we’d certainly appreciate seeing it. Guess what, folks? Still waiting. Peeper of the House — Kudos to WCAX-TV crime reporter Brian Joyce for his exclusive catch of a Burlington political fish in the Vermont District Court’s sex-crime net! Mr. Joyce was the only press in the courtroom last week when former Democratic State Rep. Alan Bjerke (Ba-jerky), an attorney with a prestigious residence overlooking Lake Champlain on Lakeview Terrace, became the first person convicted under Vermont’s new Peeping Tom law. Congratulations! You can view Bjerke’s current self-congratulatory bio at the Burlington law firm of Bauer & Gravel at http://www.vtlaw offices.com/bjerke.htm. Bjerke first ran for the Vermont House in 1992 and served three terms. In 1994, his friend and political protegĂŠ John Tracy won the other seat in the Old North End district. In fact, until a week before his court appearance, Bjerke was listed on the Tracy for Lieutenant Governor website — http://www.johnpatricktracy.com — as John-John’s campaign treasurer. “Alan and I have worked a lot together politically, and I’ve considered him a friend,â€? Rep. Tracy told “Inside Track.â€? In fact, according to city records, Bjerke and Tracy jointly own the house on Park Street next to Tracy’s home. Tracy, who faces a stiff battle against State Sen. Matt Dunne in the Democratic primary, said his change in treasurers happened “a couple weeks ago,â€? and was not related to Bjerke’s sex charge. “We felt we wanted a statewide presence,â€? explained John-John, “and Diane Carmolli (Bjerke’s replacement) is from Central Vermont.â€? Tracy said Bjerke notified him about a week before his April 18 arraignment that he had “a personal problem.â€? Bjerke “let me know he had some tight legal spot,â€? said Rep. Tracy. “He didn’t get into details.â€? Perfectly understandable. After all, the details are that Attorney Bjerke, a client at the Body Le Bronze tanning salon on Pearl Street, got caught poking his cellphone/camera over the top of the partition to photograph the partially clothed woman in the next booth. Bjerke pled no contest in court and, as part of the plea deal, got an 18-month suspended sentence. Sources say he had been planning a fall bid for the House seat Tracy’s giving up to run for Lite-Gov. Those plans might have changed, eh? m

the straight dope
BY CECIL ADAMS
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Dear Cecil, For decades I’ve wondered and, assuming the answer would be highly personal, have failed to ask: what’s the deal with the extra-long pinkie fingernail on people from the Orient (Middle East, India, Southeast Asia)? Jim Mundy, Pawhuska, Oklahoma You’re thinking I’m going to say I did all my research for this on the Internet. Well, not all. I have a buddy with a long pinkie nail and a high embarrassment threshold, so I called up and asked. However, let’s face it: For topics resistant to conventional lines of inquiry, the Internet is hard to beat. Some theories, many lifted from the Straight Dope Message Board, this column’s own little window into the demimonde: • Organic coke spoon. As if we needed to ask. • Booger scoop and earwax excavator. Gross, yes, but sure keeps that coke from falling off. • In the old days in China, long fingernails were a sign you were rich and didn’t do manual labor. Now they grow out the pinkie as a sign of culture, breeding and wealth. No doubt there’s some truth to this. A bit of browsing turns up photos of ornate fingernail protectors worn by ladies of the imperial Chinese court. Bizarre though such talons may seem to some, one could argue that as an indicator of culture, breeding, and wealth they beat having to buy a Jaguar and read Proust. • My Chinese students (all about 18 to 22) told me the nails are long so the little finger reaches past the last knuckle joint on the ring finger. If it does, you are rich and intelligent! Maybe, but if I’m Anna Nicole Smith trying to size up a prospective soul mate, I’m going to need to see more than a pinkie nail. • My 76-year-old uncle keeps one pinkie nail long and sharpened to open envelopes. • A sharpened, hardened nail is a dangerous weapon and can be a sign of prison time. Or of a man who opens a lot of envelopes. • I thought it was a sign one was a pimp. • My friend has one, and always hints it is for sexual purposes. I really hope they don’t involve earwax. • Great for opening shrink-wrap. Ha! I bet that’s what Mr. Sexual Purposes does with it.
• General scratching and ear cleaning. The longer nail also works well when trying to pick up something lying flat on a table, like a coin. Definitely seeing a common thread here. My assistant bibliophage points to the French word auriculaire, meaning pinkie finger, of which Larousse remarks, “ainsi nommé parce que sa petitesse lui permet de s’introduire dans l’oreille” (“so named because its small size allows it to be introduced into the ear”). • My pinkie finger on both my hands is a bit longer than the other nails. I use them for playing the tarifs, or sympathetic strings of the sitar, in different fashions. I use the right one for playing a quick scale down the sympathetic strings between different movements of the Hindustani classical music I usually play. The left one I use for striking the tarifs as accents during the slow, first movement, or alap. I keep my right index nail a little long so that I can pluck each string individually (they are hard to reach) for tuning. And as a bonus, people think you’re a pimp. • The cashier at Subway had one nail grown long. I asked him why and he said he had a running competition with one of his friends as to who had the longest fingernail. This, on so many levels, is why I never eat at Subway. • A Google search produced some interesting ones: that Picasso kept a long little fingernail for mixing paints, and that Turkish men commonly keep such a nail for opening cigarette wrappers. • I am the only man I know that has 32 different colors of nail varnish, as I have one 2-inch-long pinkie nail that I paint up like the Colombian flag. Whatever you say, partner. However, the Colombian flag only has three colors. • Don’t cut my nails, pinkies only ones that don’t break off. My friend’s answer. Give him credit for honesty. • On a Beijing subway I saw a guy with a long pinkie nail clean his nose and his ears with it. Right after he wiped his nail on the handrail, someone grabbed it. Wonderful place, Beijing subways. OK, I think we got it. Theory, at least in some parts of Asia: sign of culture, breeding and wealth. Practice, regardless of locale: booger scoop. CECIL ADAMS

s I pulled onto the hospital property and curved around the seemingly permanent construction site, it occurred to me that this was my maiden pick-up at the new main entrance. I’d passed by it many times since they opened it to the public. But until now, I’d never had a call. Stopping in front of the palatial structure, I thought, Well, there are worse ways to spend 400 million dollars. And, if a few Fletcher Allen board members had to go to jail in the process, we’ll just chalk it up to the price of progress. Even the Egyptian pharaohs had their ups and downs, but you’ve got to love their pyramids.

She nodded and approached my taxi. “What time’s your flight?” I asked, loading her things into the trunk. “Not until five,” she replied, climbing into the back seat, “so you certainly don’t have to rush.” “Well, I might rush anyway. It’s just my cabbie nature. But we’ll get you there safe and sound.” As we got underway, I glanced at my customer in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were dark and shone keenly, unusually awake with intelligence. Her small round face and slightly concave cheeks gave the sense of an indigenous background, maybe Filipino or a South Pacific Islander. This 21st century has brought us an amazing world, I mused. We get to meet our brothers and sisters from every corner of the planet. “So, what brings you through Burlington?” I asked, initiating the conversation. “I was in town for a meeting,” she replied. Her accent was hard to place. Actually, it was oddly unaccented, though I would have bet English wasn’t her mother tongue. “I stopped at the hospital to visit with a friend. Her son was being circumcised today.” I find this subject slightly disturbing — like many men, I suspect. I quickly asked, “What kind of business are you in?” “Shall I call it a business?” she considered with a chuckle. “Why not? I’m a lawyer in Indonesia. I do work on issues of native land rights. There was a conference in Burlington on development strategies, which I took part in. It seems your little

Curses, Foiled Again Philadelphia police investigating a bank robbery identified Daniel Magee, 29, as their suspect after they recovered a jacket that witnesses said the fleeing robber tossed into a trashcan. In one of the pockets, officers found a pawn ticket for a digital camera. They asked the pawnshop owner, Nat Leonard, to alert them if someone came to claim the camera. A week later, Leonard called, and police arrested Magee. • Authorities in Pierce County, Wash., said that a 12-year-old girl who was kidnapped after getting off a school bus on a rural road by a man wearing a camouflage mask was able to thwart her attacker because of his distinctive cellphone ring

Ye of Little Faith Tresa Waggoner, 33, a first-year music teacher at Colorado’s Bennett Elementary School, was placed on administrative leave after she showed a 12minute children’s video of the opera Faust to first-, second- and third-graders. Some parents complained because the play contains references to the devil. Waggoner, the mother of two and a former opera singer who has recorded two albums of Christian music, told the Rocky Mountain News that she has been called a devil worshipper and a lesbian. • The Presbyterian Diocese of Mizoram,
Australia’s Tourism Ministry responded to complaints by some Australians that the slogan was too crass by spending US$74 million on a follow-up campaign aimed at convincing international tourists that Australia also has culture. Its latest campaign, costing US$133 million, simply asks tourists, “Where the bloody hell are you?� The tagline, which Minister for Tourism Fran Bailey called “plain-speaking and friendly,� caused Great Britain to ban the ad. It objected to the word “bloody,� a mild profanity. The ban was rescinded, but then Canada banned the ad because of another line: “We’ve poured you a beer.� The Canadian regulator objected because it “implies consumption of unbranded alcohol,� Bailey said, adding, it’s “some sort of quirky Canadian regulation.�
Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel The latest weapon in the angler’s arsenal is an ultraviolet spray whose inventor, Milan Jeckle of Spokane, Wash., said attracts fish from half a mile away. Called Fool-a-Fish, it contains titanium dioxide, which, when sprayed on bait and lures, uses UV light to attract fish. Noting that birds use ultraviolet vision to avoid humans, Jeckle said that he has adapted his formula to produce Fool-a-Bird, which, when sprayed on hunters’ clothes, bodies and guns, absorbs UV rays and causes birds to ignore the wearer. “You spray it on yourself, and they treat you like a tree trunk or a dead stump,� Jeckle said.
Another Dimension Star Trek fan Tony Alleyne, 52, declared bankruptcy after spending more than US$52,350 to convert his studio apartment in Leicestershire, England, into a replica of the bridge of the original Starship Enterprise, then adding $175,000 to market his firm, 24th Century Interior Designs, which offered similar makeovers for other people’s homes. He admitted that part of his problem was financing the venture with credit cards. He tried to raise money to pay off his debts by selling the apartment, but nobody met his asking price of $1.23 million. This February, Alleyne told the Times of London that he was using his unemployment assistance to retrofit the apartment as the spaceship Voyager from a later Star Trek series.

which detailed how much contractors would have to pay him to order multimillion-dollar contracts, according to documents that federal prosecutors submitted for Cunningham’s sentencing hearing. The rate structure, which Cunningham had printed on one of his congressional note cards bearing the seal of the U.S. Congress, shows an escalating scale, starting at $140,000 and a luxury yacht for a $16 million Defense Department contract. Each additional $1 million in contract value required a $50,000 bribe. “The length, breadth and depth of Cunningham’s crimes,� the sentencing memo stated, “are unprecedented for a sitting member of Congress.�
Oratorical Sex Having sex can help reduce the stress of public speaking, according to a psychologist at Britain’s University of Paisley. Stuart Brody told the BBC News it was possible that the calming effect was linked to the stimulation of a wide variety of nerves that occurs during heterosexual intercourse but not other forms of sex. “A growing body of research shows that it is specifically intercourse, and not other sexual behaviors, whether alone or with a partner, that is associated with a broad range of psychological and physiological benefits,� Brody said. “And greater frequency of intercourse is associated with greater benefits.� Peter Bull, a social and political psychologist at the University of York, disputed Brody’s conclusion, telling New Scientist magazine that other ways to prepare for a speech were more likely to reduce stress. “You are probably better off thinking about what 3:19:08 you are PM going to say and 4/24/06 preparing thoroughly,� he said, “rather than having sex the previous night.�

t’s late Thursday afternoon, and moose biologist Cedric Alexander is battling the weather — not in the field, but in the classroom. Alexander, the “moose team leader” with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife in St. Johnsbury, is giving a guest lecture at the University of Vermont on the state’s moose population. Trouble is, it’s a gorgeous spring day, and the students in this resource-management class would rather be doing something — anything — outdoors. Cedric Alexander By all measures, Vermont’s moose are Moose Biologist, Vermont thriving. When Jericho native Alexander Department of Fish and Wildlife graduated from UVM in 1978, he’d never St. Johnsbury seen one in Vermont. Not surprising. In 1980, the year Alexander started working for Fish and Wildlife, only 200 moose were believed to be living in the state. Today, there are more than 4700. Those numbers continue to grow, despite record numbers of moose killed on Vermont’s roads and highways. Between June 2004 and May 2005, 250 non-hunting moose mortalities were recorded. Collisions with vehicles accounted for 177 of those deaths. May is prime road-kill season for moose. As Alexander explains how moose are managed, it’s apparent spring fever is not the only obstacle in getting through to the students. Back when he attended UVM, far more wildlife-management students were hunters. “I knew my experiences were becoming the minority,” he notes. “What has led people to become so far removed from the land and understanding the circle of life and death?” Today, hunting is an important tool in Vermont’s moose management plan, he says. Last year, about 600 moose were “harvested” during the brief season in late October — producing about 192,000 pounds of moose venison. But Alexander emphasizes that hunting moose is about more than just performing some civic duty to protect car fenders and sugar bushes. “I always like to point out that we don’t hunt moose because it’s a tool that we use,” he adds. “We hunt moose because it’s a very natural interaction between humans and moose. It’s how the species evolved.” SEVEN DAYS: How do you spend most of your time as Vermont’s moose biologist? CEDRIC ALEXANDER: It’s mostly administering the hunt and monitoring the physical indices from dead moose that come into the check station. I’m sure a lot of people think, “Oh, a moose biologist!” They think Jane Goodall and Marlin Perkins. “What a great job!” We aren’t out there with radio collars on moose. There’s the possibility for some of that stuff to happen occasionally, but it’s mainly done by universities and co-op units and graduate students. We’ve never had radio collars on moose in Vermont. We have such a small staff that it’s really a time thing. SD: Are there other ways to track moose? CA: We did make this attempt to do
an infrared census in February. That was with helicopters and forward-looking infrared cameras. They’ve been used successfully to survey deer and moose in fairly open landscapes in New Hampshire and Maine. There, they used fixed-wing aircraft and these exmilitary guys who’ve spent their lives looking for troops and guerillas in the jungle. They’re really good at it. We’ve been interested in having them do similar surveys in Vermont. But they’re so totally involved in surveillance of pipelines in Iraq and Afghanistan right now that they can’t find any free time to do wildlife surveys. SD: What’s a common myth about moose? CA: People think they’re stupid and they’re not. They’re quite intelligent. They’re not primates, but because they look big and lummoxy, people think
they’re dumb. They’ve evolved to do quite well. SD: Why is May the worst time for moose road kills? CA: Moose have quite a craving for sodium at the end of the winter. Their body metabolism slows down during the winter to conserve energy. They come down and smell these roadside salt licks, which is where the road salt accumulates, and drink that salty water. It’s quite a physiological craving for them. They usually come down at dawn and dusk, and that’s the reason why there are so many moose crossing the highway. SD: Not a good place to be when you’re big and brown. CA: The thing is, our headlights are focused down on the roadway, and a deer’s head is so much lower than a moose’s. Deer’s eyes capture that beam and reflect it back to the viewer. Obviously, the moose is higher, so you don’t see those eyes shining back at you. Actually, they have the same reflective layer in their retina as cats, which enables them to see under lowlight conditions. SD: I once heard a guide in Montana say that he’d rather encounter a bear or mountain lion in the wild than a moose, because moose are so unpredictable. Do you agree? CA: I think that’s overstating it. A rutting bull moose that comes charging over to investigate what he thinks might be a challenge, the testosterone is just flowing through them. That’s extremely intimidating. The reality is that, if you wave and shout, by the time they get close enough to you, they’ll realize this isn’t a challenger; it’s a human. Most people don’t wait for that moment. But you can climb a tree. You can’t do that with a mountain lion or a bear. SD: Have you ever had a bad encounter with a moose? CA: I haven’t. I’ve had some close
encounters with deer, but I’ve never hit a deer or a moose. I’ve had some who come over to investigate what I’m doing, but I’ve never had any intimidating situations. But we’ve had some physical encounters in Vermont. A woman was hanging up her clothes on an outdoor clothesline. Whether the moose had a reaction triggered by pillowcases flapping in the breeze or whatever, she must have treated the moose as a friendly, half-tame animal. He came up and threw her with his antlers right over his back. She didn’t have any serious injuries. SD: You’ve had plenty of good experiences around them? CA: Oh, yeah. They’re very impressive and magnificent animals and fun to observe. I’ve come up on them feeding in snowstorms and they’re just wrapping their tongue around the twigs and munching away. SD: Is there a particularly good spot for the public to view them? A: The spot that I direct people to is the junction of Notch Pond Road and Route 105 in the town of Ferdinand, which is east of Island Pond by about 10 miles. You’re in the heart of highdensity moose country — three moose per square mile — and there’s a major salt lick on the north side of Route 105 across from Notch Pond Road. We’re actually trying to site a moose-viewing tower in that location. SD: What do you recommend if someone encounters a moose in the wild? CA: You want to give the cows and calves a wide berth because the cow is highly defensive of her newborn calf. That’s actually when people have been hurt. That could be any time from May 15 through June 1. The rutting bull is usually September 15 to October 15. Outside those two windows, you’re probably at no risk at all. But if you’re hiking along the trail on October 16, that doesn’t mean the bull moose isn’t going to come huffing over to see what the noise is. m

he bridge that spans Lake Champlain at Chimney Point — New Yorkers call it Crown Point — connects a desolate, rural stretch of Adirondack North Country to pastoral Vermont. The noxious paper mill at Ticonderoga, notable for its tire-burning schemes, rises on the New York side to the south. In Vermont, the nearest “destination” is the migratory bird area at Dead Creek, where for most of the year, the scene is as lifeless as its name suggests. It’s not exactly the kind of place you’d expect to find a sculpture by Auguste Rodin. The 19th-century French sculptor created “The Thinker,” “The Kiss” and “The Gates of Hell.” Rodin sculpted in plaster or clay, then mass-produced his work by having it cast in bronze. You can see examples at the finest museums in the world, including the Louvre. Or you can drive across the Samuel de Champlain Bridge. Towering over the campground is the Champlain Memorial lighthouse. Embedded in its side, just above eye level, is “La France,” a bronze bust of a young woman, signed by Rodin. Don’t bother looking for any signs pointing you towards the sculpture. There aren’t any. The ramshackle tourist info center is only slightly more helpful. It houses hundreds of colorful brochures for attractions such as minigolf and paintball, but the flimsy black-andwhite tri-folded page that describes the Rodin is an outdated and poorly reproduced photocopy. A dark black finger smudge partly obscures the letters DEC — the acronym for New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. On an afternoon in late March, there’s just one brochure left. Tourist Information director Suzanne May opens a drawer in her office, pulls out the original, and slaps it on the copier to make more. “I know,” she says, “Pathetic. We can’t get state funding to print any more. If I ever lose this, I’m in big trouble.” May, a native of upstate New York, remembers visiting the lighthouse, with its ornate stonework and large carving of Samuel de Champlain as a child. She didn’t understand the significance of the bronze
bust until she started working here. “They all go to Paris and go to the Louvre to see the Rodins, and it’s right here,” she says. “I feel so fortunate to have it in my backyard.” But does anyone even know it’s there? Frances Chevalier sure does. The chair of the Department of Modern Languages and a professor of French at Vermont’s Norwich University, was born in France and came to the U.S. at age 14. She remembers visiting Rodin’s work in Paris as a child. The scholar has an infectious passion for the piece, but not just because it’s a Rodin. Chevalier is more interested in the bust’s model. She claims the woman gazing at the Green Mountains on the Lake Champlain side of the lighthouse is actually Camille Claudel, a gifted sculptor in her own right. There’s no indication in the brochure or at the lighthouse that this is the case, but Chevalier says curators and researchers have confirmed that Claudel is the lady on the lake. Claudel was Rodin’s apprentice, model and mistress before being involuntarily committed to an asylum by her mother and brother in 1913. She spent the last 30 years of her life locked up and prevented from writing, sculpting or communicating with the outside world. Much of her work has been lost. Her tragic story has been chronicled in books and in the 1988 movie Camille Claudel, starring Isabelle Adjani and Gerard Depardieu. Chevalier held a conference at Norwich on Claudel in 1995. Nine years later, a friend told her about the bust in New York, and she became determined to find it. “No one knew where she was,” Chevalier recalls. “I asked all around. I went to Lake Placid tourist center. They didn’t seem to know. They called here. No one seemed to know.” When Chevalier finally found the bust, she was shocked by its seeming neglect. The sculpture isn’t lit at night or protected by a security system. It looks as if it hasn’t been professionally cleaned in ages. The French inscription is barely legible. “At the time I came here, it was late May, and there were all these RVs all around it,” Chevalier recalls. “A friend who was with me said, ‘Oh, why don’t you check this out?’ I said, ‘No, it can’t be in there. They wouldn’t

SEVEN DAYS | april 26-may 03, 2006 | feature 25A do that.’ Sure enough, there it was.” Chevalier is on sabbatical this spring, working on an article about Claudel and the Crown Point sculpture. She’ll be traveling to France in May, in part to research other copies and versions of “La France.” The Rodin Museum has one, as does the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Chevalier has offered to rewrite the brochure describing the work. She’s also pushing New York State officials to have it cleaned and restored. Touring the site on a bleak and blustery day, she can’t take her eyes off the bust. “It captures her beauty,” she says of the likeness. “There’s a haunting look to her.” How did this intriguing artwork wind up on the shore of Lake Champlain? As any student of local history knows, before highways and railroads, the lake was the area’s primary means of commercial and military transport. The narrow channel between Vermont and New York was a strategically important spot for anyone looking to control passage on the lake. Suzanne May calls this stretch of water “a superhighway of the past.” “It doesn’t seem it right now, because of the way the transportation has evolved,” May says. “But this has always been a really significant piece of geography.” On the New York side of the bridge is the Crown Point historic site, the ruins of an English fort. The French had fortifications here at one time, too. The point on which the lighthouse sits is said to have been the site of a battle between Samuel de Champlain and the Iroquois. In 1909, the area celebrated the 300th anniversary of Champlain’s “discovery” of the region. In May 1912, while the memorial lighthouse was being constructed on the site, a French delegation traveled here to present Vermont and New York with the Rodin bust as proof of the friendship between the two countries. President William Howard Taft made the trip to the lighthouse. Chevalier points out that Rodin was still alive at the time, and was known around the world. Having one of his works on this lighthouse would have been an honor. Ironically, while this version of her visage was being publicly mounted, Camille Claudel herself was retreating from public life. She was born in 1864, a time when women in France were discouraged from pursuing careers as artists. She studied sculpture at one of the few schools that accepted female students. When one of Claudel’s early teachers left for Italy, he asked Rodin to advise her. When she met Rodin in 1883, Claudel was 19. He was 43. Rodin ran an innovative studio, in which dozens of assistants would help him mass-produce his sculptures. Claudel became one of those assistants in 1884. “Of course at the time that would have been a thrill for a female sculptor to have that opportunity,” Chevalier observes. Claudel soon became one of Rodin’s lovers; he had many, including a common-law wife, Rose
Beuret, who finally married him in 1917 — the year they both died. But Claudel’s relationship with Rodin was particularly passionate. She modeled for several of his works, and collaborated with him on some of his most famous pieces. The intensity and importance of their partnership has been widely acknowledged. The Musée Rodin in Paris exhibits some of Claudel’s work. Chevalier says there’s also speculation that Claudel sculpted hands, feet and heads for some of Rodin’s well-known works, such as “The Burghers of Calais,” and “The Gates of Hell.” She asks, rhetorically, at what point did his work end and Claudel’s begin? “It’s not clear,” she says. Claudel and Rodin finally ended their romantic relationship in 1898. Claudel is rumored to have had children with her older lover, and likely had at least one abortion as a result of their relationship. She produced some of her best work in the 1890s. Critics lauded her seemingly “male genius,” but after the breakup with Rodin, she became increasingly paranoid. She accused him — perhaps rightly so, suggests Chevalier — of stealing her work. Claudel’s mother and her wellknown brother, the writer and statesman Paul Claudel, were embarrassed by her unconventional lifestyle. “To have a very visible woman who is apparently unmanageable or uncontrolled by the norms, would create le scandal,” quips Chevalier. Camille Claudel’s father approved of her aspirations, but days after his death in 1913, her mother had Claudel dragged off to an asylum. She never knew it was her mother who had her committed; she reportedly thought it had been Rodin. Claudel was institutionalized until her death in 1943. Her mother never visited her; her brother dropped by once every few years. After her death, Claudel’s bones were interred in a common grave. The tortured tale clearly fascinates Chevalier. “Unfortunately I don’t think it was unique at the time,” she muses, “and perhaps not even today.” She hopes to use a revitalized Crown Point, with more and better information about the bust, to educate Vermonters and New Yorkers about Claudel’s life and work. But it’s not clear whether Chevalier will get her way. Charles Vandrei, an historic preservation officer with the DEC, is scrambling to fund renovations to the Crown Point site in time for 2009, the 400th anniversary of Champlain’s arrival. He says he’s been “begging” for money, and has found funds to shore up the bank, renovate the visitor’s center and fix the pier. But securing some spare change for the lighthouse is proving a challenge. Chevalier is hopeful that it will happen. “I think by studying Camille’s situation, we can perhaps learn more about the dynamics of how someone’s creativity can be snuffed out,” she says. “And how it can seem to be of some danger to the establishment.” Too bad it relies on the establishment for funding. m

he Green Mountains offer some prime locations for scrambling up and rapelling down rocks. Unfortunately, good climbing topography and property boundaries don’t always go hand in handhold. Some of the best spots for climbing are often privately owned, and those that are on public land risk being loved to death. One climbing area that might be getting too popular for its own good is Smugglers’ Notch, off Highway 108 in Jeffersonville. The area boasts precipitous cliffs and ice falls, breathtaking fall foliage, more than 20 rare, threatened or endangered species — and swarms of human visitors. That’s a concern for CRAG-Vermont, a volunteer organization that has been working since 1999 to preserve and assure access to climbing areas in the state. Last Saturday, the group hosted a “Smugglers’ Notch Bouldering Town Meeting� at PetraCliffs Climbing Center in Burlington to talk about the popular climbing area. Could increased recreational use in the area lead to restricted access? And did climbers believe CRAG-VT should be doing something to help preserve the cliffs and boulders there? About 20 people, mostly in their twenties and thirties, attended Saturday’s meeting. They looked like climbers, with heav-
off the cliff. The State assumed that the former was doing the latter.� Moskowitz solved the problem by communicating with people at the ANR. “We teach backcountry ethics, Leave No Trace principles and stewardship,� he explained to agency officials. Moskowitz’s Johnson groups climb there now with the state’s blessing. Commercial groups are required to provide proof of liability insurance in order to climb on state land, explains Nick Caputo, a ranger supervisor who oversees the area that includes Smugglers’ Notch for the ANR. Groups must also demonstrate their potential impact, and may be required to pay a fee, Caputo says. “As for recreational climbing, rock and ice climbing have been happening in Vermont and in the Notch area for years. Our agency is the steward of the land for use by Vermonters, and climbers make up a group of Vermonters.� On the other hand, Caputo warns, if a group’s use causes problems, the ANR might put its foot down. “Several years ago, some hang gliders cut down bunches of trees to improve their take-off spot on top of Mount Ascutney,� he recalls. “There were restrictions put on hang gliding there for a year as a result.�

PAUL HANSEN ily calloused hands and wiry limbs. Many wore climbing clothes. Had anyone from the state expressed concerns or issued warnings to CRAG-VT about Smugglers’ Notch, they wondered? “No closings are imminent,� CRAGVT President Travis Peckham assured the crowd. “We are just trying to be proactive. We want to identify whether there is a problem, and if there is, is there something we can do about it?� Brad Moskowitz, an associate professor of outdoor education at Johnson State College, talked about a past experience with the Agency of Natural Resources. Some years ago, the ANR closed a stateowned climbing site near Johnson to commercial groups. “People were climbing there,� Moskowitz said, “and people were throwing beer bottles and television sets
Even foot travelers, such as hikers and climbers, should worry about their impact on the environment, Caputo adds. Concerns include creating new trails, leaving trash around, leaving permanent equipment on cliffs, and disturbing peregrine falcon nesting areas. “In general,� he says, “we just ask that people take responsibility.� The folks at Saturday’s meeting talked about whether Smugglers’ Notch is being trashed by overuse. They said they had noticed new trails around the boulders in the Notch, which are frequented both by climbers and tourists hiking in from the nearby parking area. They also see chalk marks on the rocks where people boulder. Peckham asked if the group felt that a “chalk-scrubbing day� might be in order. The consensus was no — new marks would just spring up the following day,

and that rain washes the marks away. “I guess if any place gets bad weather,� Peckham said, “it’s the Notch.� No arguments there. The topic of Saturday’s meeting was a bit of a departure for CRAG-VT. Most of the state’s climbing areas are privately owned, and the organization has mainly focused on keeping those sites open. “I’ve been climbing here for 20 or 25 years,� says member Paul Hansen. “And some of my favorite climbing areas are closed. They were on private land, and someone bought them and built houses. In some cases, they didn’t even know that people had been climbing back there for years.� CRAG-VT formed when an absentee landlord in Lower West Bolton sold 260 acres, including 10 acres of crags that had long been a favorite place for climbers. The recreational users couldn’t bear the idea that access to one of Vermont’s best — and their most beloved — cliffs
would be subject to a stranger’s whims. They mobilized as Climbing Resource Access Group — or CRAG — Vermont. Founding members Heather Hibbard and Adam Sherman met with the new owner, Patrick Smith, to assess his attitude. Smith had no awareness of the resource in his backyard. Hibbard and Sherman gave him a tour of the cliffs. They also filled him in on his rights as a landowner, and the protections Vermont law offers landowners who make their property available for recreational uses. Smith was impressed by both the cliffs and the climbing enthusiasts. He became an immediate ally, and, in 2002, sub-divided his land and gifted the property to CRAG-VT. The organization’s other big success story is the Bolton Quarry, a major ice-climbing site. When liability concerns prompted jittery landowners to close the location, CRAG-VT set out to regain access. First, the advocates counseled climbers
to respect landowner wishes. Then they began raising money through memberships, private fundraising and grants from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board and the Vermont Recreation Trails Grant Program. They acquired the quarry in 2004, and reopened it to climbing. The folks at Saturday’s meeting concluded that there isn’t a crisis at Smugglers’ Notch — at least, not yet. Several people spoke of the need to continue to try to raise awareness and to educate other climbers about issues, impact and stewardship. Caputo feels this is a good course. “I have heard no talk about restricting access in the Notch,� he says. “We will probably try to designate a few more trails in order to reduce impact.� Caputo also points out that the state’s land-management plan identifies climbing as a relatively low-impact activity. “Periodic rockslides in the Notch cause far more impact than rock climbing,� he says. m

ot all poetry comes to us whole. Paper erodes, tablets are smashed. We will never retrieve much of what was delivered orally. In a recent translation of Sappho, the ancient Greek female poet, the classicist STORY Anne Carson reminds us how flagrantly JOHN time steals. “On a papyrus roll the text is FREEMAN written in columns . . . To read such a text is hard even when it comes to us in its A Little White entirety and most papyri don’t.

In her latest book-length poem, A Little White Shadow, Bennington writer and Vermont College professor Mary Ruefle attempts to recreate this sensation.

In other places, Ruefle applies the white stuff like a Van Gogh of erasure, the brush strokes thick and furious. You can see the texture, but it’s not tactile. There are two kinds of statements being made here. One has to do with the passage of time, and what remains. Even if it seems a bit morbid to collect “seven centuries of /

FRANKEN EARNEST Chatting up the Left’s funniest front man
story: ken picard image: kenn minter
Al Franken is finally getting serious. That’s not exactly breaking news to the legions of fans who listen to his three-hour show each weekday on the liberal talk radio network Air America. But now more than ever, the 54-year-old comedian, author, screenwriter and political satirist is blurring the lines between observer and activist. For the benefit of those who may have been living among the Amish since the Nixon administration, Franken first gained national prominence for his writing and comedy sketches on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” He was associated with SNL for 15 years, often appearing with his comedic partner, Tom Davis, or in character as the nebbishy, self-help guru Stuart Smalley. Over the years, Franken has appeared on numerous news programs and talk shows, from “The O’Reilly Factor” to “Politically Incorrect.” He’s also written or co-written several movies, including The Coneheads (1983) and Stuart Saves His Family (1995). In 1998, he starred as the narcissistic news anchor, Al Freundlich, in the short-lived NBC sitcom, “LateLine” — a spoof of the ABC news program, “Nightline.” More recently, Franken has written five books, including the number one New York Times bestsellers Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, and Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations. He’s not only the sole syndicated talk-show host to have visited Iraq; Franken claims he’s the only comedian to ever perform at the Abu Ghraib prison. Talk about a tough crowd. Celebrated on the Left for his skewering assaults on such pundits as Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, Franken recently cranked up his political activism a notch by launching Midwest Values PAC, a 527 advocacy group. Its goal, he says, is to provide financial support to candidates at the federal, state and local levels who reflect his progressive values and those of his political mentor and fellow Minnesotan, the late Senator Paul Wellstone. Franken is now touring the country promoting his PAC, while also working on the soon-to-be-released paperback edition of The Truth (With Jokes), which came out in hardcover last year. This week, he’s in Vermont to raise money for U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders. Proceeds from his Flynn Center performance will help fund Sanders’ campaign for a U.S. Senate seat. Franken is also the subject of the newly released documentary, titled Al Franken: God Spoke, now making the rounds at film festivals across the country. The movie follows Franken from his court victory over Fox News — the network sued him over use of the words “fair and balanced” in his book title — through the 2004 Republican National Convention, where Franken broadcast his Air America show. As Franken says in the film regarding right-wing pundits, “What I do is jujitsu. They say something ridiculous, and I subject them to scorn and ridicule. That’s my job.” Seven Days spoke with Franken last week by phone from his office in Minneapolis.
SEVEN DAYS: So, is this the greatest time ever to be a political commentator and satirist? AL FRANKEN: It’s pretty good. But it’s sad. Every day, you’re focused on awfulness. A big focus of all this is the war, whether it’s the leaks or the phone taps, the calls for Rumsfeld’s resignation, this lie or that lie. It all comes back to the rationale for war. SD: You’ve been to Iraq several times to perform USO shows. What was the most surprising thing you encountered there? AF: I’ve been to Iraq three times on USO tours. The first time I went over was twoand-a-half years ago. The most shocking thing you see is how young our troops are.
SD: What kind of feedback do you get from the soldiers? AF: I get only good feedback. People ask me this a lot because I’m pretty anti-Bush. When you’re over there, they know that you’re over there because you care. And they’re very appreciative, no matter what their politics are. I’ve had guys come up to me and go, “I don’t agree with anything you say politically, but I want to thank you for coming over.” SD: What advice would Stuart Smalley give to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld? I don’t think his people like him much anymore. AF: Um, yeah, well. [laughs] Ooh, boy! [In character] Just, sometimes it’s time to let go and let God. And maybe this is that time.
The purpose of the USO tour is to raise morale, so you don’t do “Your-presidentis-lying-to-you-and-you’re-dying-for-noreason” kind of jokes. It really is a very, very different thing I do there. AL FRANKEN These kids are my kids’ age, and that’s maybe one of the most disconcerting things. The other is that Iraq is kind of a beautiful country. Much of the southern part is just desert, but there are some other beautiful, beautiful areas, and you can see where this could be a prosperous country. Compared to Afghanistan, it is a prosperous country. SD: Do you alter your show for the troops? AF: Oh, yeah. I’ve done six USO tours. I started back in ’99 going to Bosnia and Kosovo and stuff. The purpose of the USO tour is to raise morale, so you don’t do “Your-president-is-lying-to-you-and-you’redying-for-no-reason” kind of jokes. It really is a very, very different thing I do there. I do a little satire, but it’s Bob Hope kind of stuff. Like, “So far, I’ve had five MREs [meals ready-to-eat] and none of them seem to have an exit strategy.” Your job is to cheer them up. It isn’t to bum them out.
SD: Have you met any members of the Bush administration? AF: No. Well, wait. Have I? Who have I met? I met Bush once, but only briefly, in Iowa. SD: Did he know who you were? AF: Yeah. This was before he was president, but it was when he was running. I also met [former Commerce Secretary] Don Evans. He was very nice. [laughs] I met [Defense Policy Board Chairman] Richard Perle, too. He’s coming on our show May 11. I’m very excited about that. I think he’s doing a TV show where he only interviews people who disagree with him. SD: When you meet people like Perle or Evans, whose views are diametrically opposed to your own, are you able to chit-chat with them off-camera, or are they still hard-asses? >> 34A

AF: It depends who they are. For example, if I’ve written about somebody and done a good job on them, sometimes they don’t like me. But, I can see someone like Wolfowitz and have a conversation with him, even though I’ve been kind of mean to him. Who else? If I saw Rush [Limbaugh], you know what? He doesn’t seem like he’s as big a dick as [Bill] O’Reilly. I can even talk to [Sean] Hannity if I have to. I bump into him every once in a while because one of the guys who I’ve been on the USO tour with is [singer] Darryl Worley, who Hannity glommed onto. He’s the one who wrote “Have You Forgotten.� I don’t like Hannity at all, but he shows up at these Worley events and pretends he’s a good guy. SD: I understand you used to wrestle in high school. If you could wrestle anyone in Washington, D.C., right now — Democrat or Republican — who would it be? AF: Does Sharon Stone live there? No, Halle Berry! She lives in Washington. I’d wrestle her. SD: You’re coming to Vermont for a fundraiser for Bernie Sanders. You know he’s not in favor of impeaching Bush. He doesn’t think Cheney would be much of an improvement. AF: I don’t either. SD: What are your thoughts on impeachment? You’ve come out in favor of it. AF: No, I haven’t. Have I? Well, in my book I talk about it, but only after having done the proper investigations. That’s in the book, The Truth (With Jokes). But that’s under those specific circumstances. SD: Are you a fan of Howard Dean and the job he’s done as head of the Democratic National Committee? AF: I think he’s doing good. I think he’s trying to go to a 50state strategy, which I like.

FROM AL FRANKEN’S MIDWEST VALUES PAC WEBSITE, http://www.midwestvaluesPAC.org: An Evening with Ann Coulter at the University of Judaism, April 4, 2006: Thank you. First of all, I know I join Ann [Coulter] in thanking the University of Judaism for hosting this event . . . And, I’d like to answer the question that I actually get asked the most when I do an event for a Jewish organization. Yes, I had enough to eat. You know, in these kinds of debate forums, someone has to go first. It’s always preferable to go second, because you can react to what’s been said, giving you something of a tactical advantage. More importantly, it pretty much spares you the chore of writing out pre-prepared remarks. Both Ann and I said we preferred going second, but I didn’t insist on it, because I understood somebody had to go first. And being a liberal, I just wasn’t tough-minded enough to insist on a coin toss. So, I’ll try to use my time to define the terms of the debate — if you will. “Whence Judaism?� No. I think we should talk about the Bush administration and the Republican Congress and what it has accomplished over the past five years. I’m talking, of course, about well over $2 trillion added to the national debt, the increase in poverty in our country and the added millions of Americans, including children, without health insurance. I’m talking about the sale of our democracy to corporate interests that pollute our water and our air. I’m talking about the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots in this country. And, I’m talking about the war in Iraq. I’m talking about an increasingly corrupt, secretive, and incompetent federal government that rewards cronies, a Republican majority in Congress that’s acted as a rubber stamp, that has performed virtually no oversight and which excludes the minority party from the legislative process in a way unprecedented in our recent history. I also want to discuss with Ann the coarsening of dialogue in this country. I want to discuss values with Ann. Values like love, of family, of your fellow man, of country. Ann has said repeatedly that liberals hate America. I disagree . . . George W. Bush famously said that Jesus was his favorite political philosopher. Frankly, I don’t get it. I’m Jewish. Thank you. I’m not an expert on the New Testament. But I know that if you cut out all the passages where Jesus talks about helping the poor, helping the least among us, if you literally took a pair of scissors and cut out all those passages, you’d have the perfect box to smuggle Rush Limbaugh’s drugs in. I don’t understand when the Christian Right says that equal rights in marriage threatens marriage. I’ve been married 30 years, many of them happy. I don’t think that if my wife and I were walking around in Boston, where we met, if we saw two men holding hands with wedding bands, I don’t think I’d say, “Hey, that looks good. Y’know, honey, you don’t like watching football on Sundays. Maybe I could marry a guy, watch football with him, and then if I wanted to have sex, I could come over and have sex with you.� I was just talking to Newt Gingrich the other day. And I said to him, “Don’t you want for a gay couple what you had with your first wife? Don’t you want that bond that comes with the pledge of fidelity that you had with your second wife? Don’t you want what comes with that lifelong bond that you may or may not have with your third wife� — I have no idea what’s going on there. You know, Bill O’Reilly always talks about his “traditional values� — as opposed to “the far Left’s secular humanist values.� I didn’t realize phone sex was a traditional value. I didn’t think the phone had been around long enough. Maybe telegraph sex.

that other things don’t. So, that’s why I’ve always done satire. What I really am is a satirist and a comedian. I think satire can be a great way of shining light on something and making people understand what’s going on.
SD: I’ve read that many young people say they get much of their daily news from people like you, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher. Is it rewarding for you that humor now plays such a prominent role in American politics, or is there something disturbing about it? AF: No, I think it’s good. All the people you talked about are contributing to understanding. I think that people often feel that humor crystallizes things in a way
SD: Do you think humor and satire are the most effective ways of getting people to change their political point of view, or does ridiculing the opposition just alienate them to your positions? AF: It depends how you do it. There are some people that you’re never going to reach anyway, so you might as well forget them. SD: Do you ever miss doing nonpolitical comedy? Or is this your calling right now? AF: I do sometimes, but actually,

We don’t need no stinking naps! that’s one of the things I like about doing the USO tour. We really do try to take the politics out of it. SD: Does it ever get frustrating for you that, regardless of all the books and articles that come out about the Bush administration, it doesn’t seem to make much a difference? AF: I think that it is making a difference. It’s like the air seeping out of a tire. I don’t know how much lower they can go before their base absolutely abandons them. I think that mainly, that’s beginning to happen. Certainly, Democrats and Independents don’t trust this administration anymore, and a certain percentage of Republicans are very dubious now. So, I think it is actually taking a toll on them. I think they’ve hit a certain floor. The best thing that can happen for the Bush administration is the best thing that can happen for America, which is for stuff to start working out better in Iraq. I don’t like Bush, and I blame him for so many things. But you just want something good to happen over there. A unity government to get together, the Iraqi military to show that they can accomplish things and that the security forces aren’t just full of militias who are killing people left and right. But unless that happens, I don’t see him going anywhere. It was interesting with Gary Hart [on the show] today. Where basically, in his book, he says, if you tell people the truth and they buy into your policy, they’ll support you. But if you don’t and things start going badly, they won’t. And I think that’s what’s really happened here. People know that they were not told the truth going into this war, about weapons of mass destruction, about how easy the war would be, about how much it would cost. The Bush people took a huge gamble and lost. SD: Do you see the Democrats coming forward with positive alternatives? AF: Well, I react a couple ways to that. One of which is, we haven’t been left with very many alternatives. It’s like Bush is saying, “Hey! I lied us in, I didn’t send enough troops, I allowed looting, I disbanded the Iraqi military with their weapons, I tortured people, I didn’t do the reconstruction, I gave corrupt contracts to people. I’ve taken us this far. Now it’s your turn.� Wait a minute! You’ve put us in this situation and now you’re criticizing us for not having a plan? What plan?

Medical Mystery
I
n September of 1830, a young woman named Experience Goodrich — “Speedy” for short — returned to Burlington from a revivalist camp meeting in St. Albans, feeling weak and feverish. Within a few days STORY she succumbed to an infection and was MARGOT buried in the Unitarian graveyard. HARRISON In the 19th century, such sudden deaths were common. Still, the family of the IMAGE deceased suspected a form of foul play. ANDY Speedy’s older sister Electa had seen blood DUBACK on the young woman’s bedclothes, which led her to believe that “she had been in the The Inquest, family way and something had been done to by Jeffrey D. her.” So she put it to the jury of prominent Marshall, Burlingtonians assembled to investigate Hardscrabble Books, University Speedy’s death. Everyone knew what “someof Vermont Press, thing” meant — an abortion. But who had 256 pages, put Speedy “in the family way,” and who $24.95. had performed the lethal procedure? A cluster of medical students at the Jeffrey Marshall University of Vermont were buzzing about speaks on “Plausible Fiction: Charles Daggett, a colleague of theirs who Reconstructing allegedly had boasted of helping a girl disBurlington for a pose of an unwanted pregnancy. A friend of Historical Novel” Daggett’s claimed to have seen him prepare at Memorial Lounge, Waterman a thick wire and a dose of ergot for the purBuilding, pose. Dr. Benjamin Lincoln, a respected University of professor at the Medical College, testified Vermont, that Daggett had sold him a fetus for an Thursday, May 11, anatomical specimen, and Speedy’s sister 7.30 p.m. Nancy confirmed that the two young people had been friendly.
letter to Dr. Lincoln. The extent of his guilt, he claimed, was hiring a more experienced doctor to aid a friend in a desperate situation. The county attorney never brought charges against Daggett. The case faded away into the ranks of the unsolved — until more than 150 years later, when it piqued the interest of a young historian named Jeffrey Marshall. Marshall, who’s now the university archivist and curator of UVM’s Wilbur Collection of Vermontiana, first discovered the Goodrich case 22 years ago. On May 31, University Press of New England will publish The Inquest, a novel in which Marshall explores Speedy’s tragic story from the perspectives of three narrators, each with his or her own spin on what really happened. While the novel doesn’t exactly “solve” the mystery, in the conclusive manner of “Cold Case,” it does use poetic license to offer the reader some resolution. More importantly, perhaps, The Inquest recreates Andrew Jackson-era Burlington with an historian’s feel for details and speech patterns. Mid-read, it’s hard to walk across City Hall Park without recalling that it was once Court House Square, a thriving town center where politics were debated publicly, shocking newcomers from the sleepy countryside. (Maybe some things haven’t changed.) Or

DETAIL OF A MAP OF BURLINGTON, CIRCA 1830
Speedy’s death happened at a time when the people of Burlington were not feeling charitable toward doctors who performed abortions. (How they felt about abortion itself was a more complex matter.) A certain Dr. Cleaveland in Irasburg had just been sentenced to death for forcing a woman to undergo an abortion that killed her. He himself was the impregnator. Fearing he would be the victim of a lynch mob, Daggett fled by boat to Vergennes, where he continued to maintain his innocence in a
to pick up the Free Press without remembering its humble beginnings as a weekly tabloid put out by the Anti-[Free] Mason party. The Goodrich case seized Marshall’s imagination as soon as he encountered it. In 1982, when the Chittenden County Courthouse burned down, one of the documents salvaged from the ruins was the transcript of the 1830 inquest. A recent M.A. in history, Marshall had been assigned to sort through the court records as part of his job

in the UVM library’s Special Collections Department. He initially thought the case would make a good subject for a journal article in his field, but a career shift to library science caused him to drop the project. As a librarian and a curator, Marshall continued to focus on 19th century Vermont — his first book was a collection called A War of the People: Vermont’s Civil War Letters. In 1999, he decided to apply his research skills to the Goodrich case. “I turned over every stone I could find,” says the 50-year-old Georgia resident, in his bookstrewn office on the basement floor of Bailey-Howe Library. He’s happy to offer a visitor a look at the original court transcript, written on brittle, sepia paper in a nonetheless easily legible hand. Signed by each member of the inquest jury — prominent citizens of Burlington, including five doctors — the sheaf of paper feels like a time capsule. In a history of the UVM Medical College, Marshall spotted a reference to the self-exculpating letter Daggett wrote to Dr. Lincoln. He found the letter itself at Harvard Medical School’s Countway Library. In the burial records of the Unitarian Church, he discovered Speedy Goodrich’s full name, age and religious affiliation. Between them, the three sources offered enough information to tell a compelling story, but not enough for the rigorous standards of an academic journal. So Marshall, who’s an admirer of the historical novels of Patrick O’Brian and Iain Pears, decided to fill in the gaps himself, telling the story as what he calls “plausible fiction.” Marshall initially conceived The Inquest as a novel with one

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIR presents
Getting In: If you want a B.A., you’d better get chummy with the ancients. The entrance exam covers Virgil, Horace and Cicero in the original Latin as well as Greek grammar and some math. Maybe an M.D. is a better prospect: The main requirement is a lack of squeamishness, and the course of study only takes three years. (Bonus points to med-school candidates who are enterprising enough to dig up their own study-cadavers from the soldiers’ graveyard.)
SATURDAY
Dorms: The upper floors of North or South College [Old Mill]. Your room comes with a bedstead, two chairs, a washstand and a woodstove. You’ll have to buy the wood and haul it up three flights yourself. Who needs a gym?
SEP 2 7:00 PM
Food: No meal plan required. Actually, no meal plan available. Buy your grub at “private houses, endorsed by the faculty,” or try the overwhelmingly student-endorsed option of a “public house,” i.e., a tavern. Campus Rules (per Prof. George Benedict’s address to the freshmen): Show up for chapel daily at 5:30 a.m. “Tardiness and absence” are not tolerated. “Absence from your rooms overnight is not permitted . . .” “No smoking or drinking is permitted within these walls.” “Riotous behavior will result in suspension, rustication, or expulsion. You are not to ring bells, blow whistles, sing or speak profanely, or otherwise disturb the quiet of night or the Sabbath. You are forbidden to molest the property or annoy the livestock of our neighbors.” Just because farmers insist on squatting illegally on the campus common doesn’t mean you can tip their cows. What to Do for Fun: Skinny-dip in the Onion [Winooski] River. Debauchery: “Was it true, then, what certain friends at home had warned me of — that sin and wickedness prevailed in Burlington?” freshman Stephen Parker wonders in The Inquest. Though this sounds promising, Burlington’s rep for sin and wickedness may be overrated. The suspected “bawdy house” at College and Water [Battery] Streets caters mostly to fine Pearl Street gentlemen. Sure, the bars don’t card, but let’s not forget that the town is afire with religious revivalism, including temperance societies. Nothing kills your buzz like a chamber fellow [roommate] who’s the “epitome of piety” and lectures you about indulging in “spirituous liquors.”

“[Men] have no more business doctoring a woman with child than I have running for Congress,â€? one female character says scornfully. impartial narrator who would sort through the contradictory evidence about Speedy’s death. He invented the character of Stephen Decatur Parker, a naĂŻve young man from Addison County who comes to Burlington as a student and is asked to record the testimony at the inquest. Later, though, Marshall decided to give The Inquest a structure similar to Rashomon, the Kurosawa film, in which different narrations of the same incident yield different conclusions. He reconceived Stephen’s narrative and added the first-person accounts of Daggett and Speedy’s younger sister, Nancy Goodrich Proctor. “I wanted a way to get inside the heads of the principal characters better,â€? Marshall says. The novel’s conceit is that five years after the inquest, the county attorney has solicited these testimonies, to satisfy his own curiosity. Because the accounts are intended for the public, we can never be sure that a particular narrator is telling the truth. Still, we get a strong sense of their distinct values and priorities. Charles Daggett describes himself as “a skeptic at a tender age, in a world where faith was prized over
knowledge.� He’s not overly fazed by the prospect of, say, defiling a graveyard to obtain a study cadaver, but he wishes medical science commanded enough respect to make such adventures unnecessary. Stephen Parker is both more religious and more romantic, prone to flowery descriptions and crises of conscience. Nancy supplies valuable background on the Goodrich family and gives us a sense of what it was like for a woman in 1830 to be single and self-supporting, as Speedy was. “As I developed their characters, I had in mind what I thought would be typical for that kind of person,� says Marshall. “I’ve always been fascinated by how ordinary people in other eras thought and felt and lived their lives, and I think that is what appeals most to people about history.� Copious reading of letters and diaries has given him a sense of how people wrote and spoke in the period. One difference between the early 19th and 21st centuries is the general attitude toward abortion. Then as now, it occasioned debate among physicians. An abortion case about 10 years

before the Goodrich inquest “literally split the county medical society apart,” Marshall says. The doctors couldn’t agree on whether to discipline their colleague for inducing premature labor in a Williston woman. However, the 19th-century debate focused on the very real risk to the woman, not the status of the fetus. Nancy Goodrich sums up the traditional approach to abortion when she says, “It has been the custom since the beginning of time that a woman may freely rid herself of a foetus before the time of quickening [movement in the womb], if she can do so without harming herself.” Doctors and religious thinkers were starting to question that belief. Marshall suggests that women, particularly midwives, saw this as an incursion on their turf. “[Men] have no more business doctoring a woman with child than I have running for Congress,” one of his female characters says scornfully. Contrary to the popular image of old-time Vermont as a bastion of conservative farmers, its citizens were embroiled in this and many other debates — about alcohol, slavery, politics and religion. “Burlington really was an intellectual center,” Marshall says. One event in the novel resonates strongly — if unintentionally — in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. A catastrophic July flood on the Winooski and New Haven rivers has some people talking about God’s wrath. One man astutely points out that the disaster may have resulted from human acts, namely the “unrestrained cutting of timber.” A teacher as well as a curator, Marshall hopes the novel will help “make history more meaningful to people who might otherwise regard it as dull and irrelevant.” Although University Press of New England chose not to attach transcripts of the historical documents to the novel as an appendix, he plans to make them available on a website that can be reached from the UPNE page. Marshall says that, as in the 1970s, 1830s America was a time for “questioning the values you grew up with.” His novel shows that, without being “feminist,” “progressive” or “environmentalist” in the modern senses of those words, some people in that era could and did entertain a broad spectrum of opinions. Nancy Goodrich’s view of the reasons for her sister’s death is typical. Though she’s upset by Speedy’s decision to “abjure motherhood,” she feels it must be understood in context or not at all. “It is impossible to remove from it various parts, examine them, pass judgment, and put them back in place!” she says. Marshall suggests that we should accord the same respect to our past. m

Happy Campers Theater review: The Rocky Horror Show
T
he Rocky Horror Picture Show was a rite of passage in the 1970s and ’80s. At some point during high school or college, most of us braved a midnight showing or two — or 200 — of the STORY campy cult classic, and were initiated ELISABETH into the deliciously subversive world of CREAN transvestites from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy Transylvania. Look Upcoming around you. That sedate Soccer Dad performances: from Accounts Receivable may have The Rocky Horror once dressed in Dr. Frank N. Furter’s Show, directed fishnets. by Alex Koch, produced by the The 1975 film performances were Barre Players. iconic: the seductive and sneering Tim Barre Opera Curry, as Frank, in a corset and heels; House, April ultra-geeky Barry Bostwick, as Brad, in 28-29, 8 p.m. his tighty whities; and virgin-on-the-verge and April 29, midnight. $18. Susan Sarandon, as Janet, in a half-slip. But before Rocky Horror was a movie, it was a play.

lab for the unveiling of his newest creation. Frank has made Rocky to be his perfect boy-toy: a blond, tan, muscleman with half a brain. The hitch? Rocky’s libido hasn’t been controlled. A frenzied night of gender-blending bed-hopping ensues, bringing to a head (so to speak) the failure of Frank’s mission on earth, in the opinion of his extraterrestial bosses. The ending isn’t pretty — although the final floor show is — and Brad and Janet stumble away from the castle with their black corsets and sexual liberation awkwardly concealed beneath their now-rumpled country-club clothes. A key aspect of the Rocky Horror experience is audience participation, which first evolved at the rowdy midnight movie screenings. The crowd hurls insults, witticisms and props before or after certain lines of dialogue. The Barre Players delightfully encouraged this practice with a $3 “Virgin Survival Kit” — in the Rocky realm, a “virgin” is a first-time showgoer. It contained detailed instructions on

When Riff Raff asks Brad and Janet to “Come inside,” the customary response is, “Better than coming outside!” The substitute line: “That’s not safe sex!” Less raunchy, more 21st century. It moved to a succession of larger houses, and ran for seven years. Since then, professional productions of The Rocky Horror Show have taken the stage around the world, translated into languages such as Icelandic and Spanish. With amateur performance rights available only since 2000, the show is just now becoming part of the community theater repertoire. The Barre Players earnestly embraced Rocky’s spirit of joyous decadence, but the production was hardly smooth. The plot of Rocky Horror is part parody of, and part homage to, the golden age of Hollywood’s B-movies: a mad scientist, a clueless heroine-in-peril, the guilty butler, aliens, melodramatic subplots and splashy song-and-dance numbers breaking out left and right. Add hints of cannibalism and incest, and heaps of naughty lingerie and sex — what’s not to love? The action begins on the de rigeur dark and stormy night. Newly engaged couple Brad and Janet’s car breaks down, and they head to the nearest spooky castle to find a phone. Hunchbacked butler Riff Raff’s invitation to the couple to “come inside” foreshadows much “coming” that will go on inside the castle that night. The uptight pair is soon stripped of most of their clothing — and later, many of their inhibitions. Dr. Frank N. Furter, cross-dressing master of the manor, presides over the motley household with a fearsome demeanor and an apparent lack of access to mood-stabilizing pharmaceuticals. He brings Brad and Janet up to his
“Rocky Etiquette,” an Arthur Murrayesque diagram of the “Time Warp” dance, and instructions for proper use of the included items. Before the opening curtain in the dignified Barre Opera House, diligent attendees read aloud directions on what to do with the carefully folded sheet of newspaper, miniroll of toilet paper, rubber glove, tiny flashlight, playing cards and bag of confetti. Time warp, indeed — I don’t remember any handy pamphlets for Rocky deflowerings circa 1980! To ensure a healthy dose of snappy comebacks, the Players also planted a few audience participants who knew what to say and when to say it. Although regional variations and topical references have always occurred, the Barre crew had clearly scripted some new lines. For example, when Riff Raff asks Brad and Janet to “Come inside,” the customary response is, “Better than coming outside!” The substitute line: “That’s not safe sex!” Less raunchy, more 21st century. One of the strongest aspects of the Barre production was the terrific band. Music director Jason Pierce conducted a stellar five-piece combo, highlighted by Matt Clancy’s swinging saxophone and Michael Poczobut’s jazzy keyboards. Unfortunately, the Opera House lacks a sunken orchestra pit. The volume produced by musicians playing at floor level condemned the actors to the Curse of the Wireless Body Microphones. Body mikes never work flawlessly, even for seasoned pros. On opening night, they caused occasional bursts of static, and more disruptive episodes
where the sound dropped out entirely. A bigger problem was that while mikes allowed the lead singers to project well over the band, the unmiked chorus of Transylvanians went largely unheard. When audible, their harmonies sounded strong and focused, so it was a shame to lose so much of their singing. The biggest problem with the audio set-up was that singers seemed to lack what they needed in order to hear themselves adequately. Performers who sounded fine in some numbers veered badly off-key in others, resulting in some pitchy and patchy vocal performances. While the singing sometimes suffered, the acting did not. The leads distilled the essence of camp: a tasty mix of deadpan humor and over-the-top zest. As the hot dog Dr. Frank N. Furter, Joseph Grabon simpered, scowled and sashayed commandingly from the teetering height of shiny 6inch platform heels. His parallel seduction scenes, bedding first Janet and then Brad, were priceless vignettes of hilarious lasciviousness. As Brad, Rick Young embodied the ultimate dork. So his transformation from white Hanes to hot black lace for the “Floor Show” finale was the evening’s funniest. Maggie Ferreira charmingly channeled Janet’s faux-’50s innocence: sweet on the outside, untamed on the inside. As Riff Raff, Tom Jacques conjured a heap of creepiness. As his sister Magenta, Alana Manning played the sly and sexy servant always in the know.
Grabon, Ferreira and Manning overcame the technical challenges to sing with consistent strength. Grabon’s voice had a warm, mellow quality — almost soulful — that lent a softer, endearing side to Frank’s character. Ferreira matched her tone to Janet’s personality: pure and naive, for example, in the early “Over at the Frankenstein Place.” Manning sang powerfully as Magenta, and also shone in the more demure role of the Usherette, sweetly singing “Science Fiction” (famously intoned in the movie by the giant pair of red lips) to open and close the show. Two additional factors proved incongruous with the actors’ energy: the unimaginative set design and the Transylvanians’ drab, sack-like costuming. Director Alex Koch and his team failed to use these key visual elements to reinforce the fun, flair and outré sex appeal quotients. To be fair, however, Koch is a sophomore at Spaulding High School; legally, he probably shouldn’t know too much about the outlandish and the outré! Despite these shortcomings, the audience had fun, and it was great to see so many Rocky neophytes fall for the show’s wayward charm. Elements that once seemed so daring — cross-dressing, bisexuality, a gay wedding — are now almost commonplace. What remains risqué is its message to look beneath the surface — of yourself and of the person next to you — to discover what is hidden. m

<music> STATE OF THE UNION :: Hard rockin’ jam gods
Gov’t Mule have come a
long way since the tragic death of bassist Allen Woody in 2000. Having spent subsequent years touring with fill-ins, the band recently conferred permanent membership upon former Black Crowes low-ender Andy Hess. They also added a keyboardist, exGregg Allman Band member Danny Louis. But Mule fans needn’t fret — the group’s heavy blues-rock and knotty improv still kicks. Catch them this Saturday afternoon at UVM’s CBW Green with reggae legends Toots & the Maytals and fusion favorites Soulive.

BY CASEY REA
SEAL OF DISAPPROVAL
Radio Bean proprietor Lee Anderson, the event is hardly your grandparents’ wingding. The fun takes place on Wednesday, April 26 at 8 p.m. at the cozy 1/2 Lounge. Featured performers include folksy torch singer Anna Pardenik, cabaret sensualists The 78s, pop refusnik Joshe Henry, blues mavericks cccome? and madcap emcee Ben T. Matchstick. Tinker Taylor and George Voland will serve up fresh lounge jazz. Also on the bill are Electric Halo and Nosebleed Island, whose names are new to me. If you haven’t yet seen The 78s, this is a perfect opportunity. The duo’s libertine act comes across like Josephine Baker backed by Nick Drake at an old-world carnival. Try not to stare too much. Anderson claims the freaky free-for-all represents the “cream of the Burlington bohemian underbelly.” Who can refuse creamy bellies?
We at Seven Days are plenty excited about the one-time-only reunion of Burlington rockers The Pants at Higher Ground on Saturday, May 27. Other folks are getting wound up, too, but not about the music. It seems the publicity materials for the event incorporate the official Vermont state seal — a legal no-no. Apparently some eagle-eye citizens called State Archivist Gregory Sanford to complain. The ad and poster take a couple of creative liberties with the Green Mountain coat-of-arms, but apparently not enough to avoid incident. Last Thursday, Sanford alerted Higher Ground to the situation. Seven Days found out not long after. I recently spoke with Sanford about the ins and outs of protecting Vermont’s iconographic identity from opportunistic rock bands. “I guess I know what you’re calling about,” Sanford said, following my introduction. So, umm, what’s the deal? “There is a statutory prohibition on using the seal in conjunction with advertising,” he explained. “You can’t in any way imply state endorsement.” Not sure that was the intent. Still, Sanford was tolerant of my bewilderment. “After the second call, I just figured I ought to give a heads-up,” he said cheerfully. “Maybe if you gave the cow a guitar and changed the trees into speakers, it would be OK.” The Pants simply colorized the coat of arms and replaced the state slogan with something along the lines of “Freedom. Rock ’n’ roll. Unity.” It’s not the first time Sanford has dealt with a peevish public. “The other complaint I get all the time is about what color the cow should be,” he said. “By law, the cow has to be red. But at some point, the state started putting a brown cow on everything, including the flag.” Talk about a beef. “I used to joke that it was back in the McCarthy era, and we didn’t want Vermont associated with anything red,” he continued. “So you get a sense of how I while away parts of my day.” I had to admit: I’m not terribly well versed in Vermont legal charters. “It’s all in Title 13: 1904 and 1904 A, if you ever wanted to look it up,” Sanford informed. Umm, is there a Cliff Notes version? I thanked Sanford for the tip. “Well, I just wanted to do my ‘stately duty’ and make sure there were no grievances down the road,” he said. “Because as a public servant, let me tell you — there are a lot of grumpy people out there.” No kidding.

THE SCENE ON THE GREEN Higher Ground Presents has just released the lineup for this year’s Concerts on the Green at Shelburne Museum. As usual, there’s a little something for everyone. The series kicks off on June 26 with pop-rock momthrobs Train. Biodiesel champion and country music maverick Willie Nelson drops by on August 8. “Acoustic Planet II” features Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, Natalie MacMaster and the Del McCoury Band. That show takes place on August 10. Waitsfield superstars Grace Potter & the Nocturnals will close out the season on September 3. Wonder how many major magazines they’ll be featured in by then? Guess right, and… Well, you still DEL MCCOURY BAND have to pay for a ticket. But there is good incentive to buy early: 500 discounted tickets are being made available for each performance, so break out the plastic and start lining up sitters. Call 888-518SHOW or head to http://www.HigherGroundMusic.com to secure your spot on the lawn.
MONKEY SHINES
THEY ARE THE WORLD
James Kochalka Superstar’s playful ditty, “Hockey Monkey,” has gotten a second life, due to its inclusion in the new Fox sitcom, “The Loop.” As of last week, it was in the Top10 on SIRIUS satellite radio’s “Alt Nation” channel. “In the past my music has only been sent to college stations,” Kochalka recently told me. “We kinda assumed that anything else was beyond our reach.” In addition to conquering the digital dial, Kochalka recently performed in Kingston, Ontario, on the CBC program, “Hockeyville.” “It’s an American Idol-type show that pits Canadian towns against each other to see who has the most hockey spirit,” Kochalka explains. I can see that getting pretty ugly. Backed by The Zambonis — who play Higher Ground on Friday, April 28 — Kochalka tore through his now-famous tune. After a lengthy warm-up, that is. “They had us practice it for two hours straight while they checked the levels,” he says. “We finally taped before a live audience of 2000 people in a Canadian-style ‘hockey barn.’ We’d call it a rink here. It was an awesome performance — I did some amazing jumps, great twisting leaps. The audience loved it.” Unfortunately the broadcast itself was less than inspiring. “A couple of hours later we watched it on TV,” Kochalka relates. “All my best moves were cut out, replaced by videos of little kids playing hockey. It was a little disappointing.” Shades of Elvis on Ed Sullivan? Maybe the Canadian government just isn’t ready for flying high kicks. Still, Kochalka remains upbeat. “In any case, I’m having a lot of fun with a song that I wrote 10 years ago!” So is the rest of North America, apparently. m
I’m usually not big on American-made “world” music. More often than not, the sounds are watered down, if not completely insipid. Still, every rule has its exception, and African-inspired quintet Toubab Krewe are it. Although most of TK’s members hail from North Carolina, bassist David Pransky makes his home in Cabot. But the band’s address has little to do with its music, which evokes a vast continent teeming with intoxicating rhythms. Routine pilgrimages to Africa have had a positive affect on the band’s work. I reviewed their self-titled debut last year, and was taken by the band’s commitment to getting things right. Apparently, I’m not the only one; Toubab recently received positive notice from The New York Times. The Krewe will appear at several of this season’s big festivals, including Tennessee’s musical melting pot, Bonnaroo. They’ll also be featured on national Public Radio in the coming months. Vermonters will have two chances to catch them this week— at Montpelier’s Positive Pie II on Thursday, April 27, and Club Metronome in Burlington the following night. Check out the audio samples at http://www.toubabkrewe.com for more encouragement.

SOUL MAN :: Burlington’s acoustic strumming indie-funkster Nebulai writes engaging tunes that mix the personal and the political. Musical and spiritual quests have led him to such exotic locales as India and the shores of West Africa, where he soaked up plenty of culture. These experiences inform his most recent release, Odd Man-Out. On it, the songwriter tackles such sub-

reviewthis ALEX TOTH & THE LAZYBIRDS, VERMONT SKY SESSION
VISCUS, MERGING (Self-released, CD)
(Self-released, CD) Local trumpeter Alex Toth is one of the most visible young players in the Queen City’s vibrant jazz community. From his weekly sets at Burlington’s Radio Bean to side projects and jam sessions, Toth is, in a word, industrious. The latest example of his big-league work ethic is Vermont Sky Session, a disc he cut with his primary collaborators, the Lazybirds. Recorded in a no-frills session at Vermont Sky Digital Audio in Barnet, the disc features six classics reinterpreted by Toth and his cronies. Refreshingly, the band sticks to jazz elementals — there’s nary a jam-band detour or funk interlude to be found. Toth may get top billing, but he never grandstands. Both he and his band focus more on communal expression than individual pyrotechnics. That’s not to say there aren’t juicy solos; each player is given several opportunities to thunder above the herd. Wayne Shorter’s elegantly complex “The Big Push” kicks things off. It’s a challenging piece, but the Lazybirds tackle the tune’s protracted harmonies and start-stop rhythms with soulful surety. Saxophonist and singer Annakalmia Traver takes an impassioned vocal turn on the Charlie Mingus warhorse, “Goodbye Porkpie Hat.” Her low-toned croon is met by Toth’s muted trumpet, which wraps around her melody like a cozy scarf. Pianist Peter Krag melds with the song’s understated chord progression, gracefully surging and receding. Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Triste” is an excursion into the exotic world of bossa. Here, Toth serves up a whirlwind solo as the band bobs above drummer Dan Ryan’s rugged rimshots. The pace picks up further with “Have You Met Miss Jones,” in which Traver and Toth exchange several classy, brassy bursts. Traver puts her own lyrical spin on the Sonny Rollins-penned “Sonnymoon for Two.” A sultry blues number, the song provides a chance for the band to explore its sensual side. In fact, Toth’s steamy trumpet would sound at home in the red-light district of a film noir metropolis. The album wraps up with “I Hear a Rhapsody,” which was recorded live at Radio Bean in February. While the sound quality isn’t as pristine as the studio cuts, the tune further showcases the group’s ample chemistry. My only complaint about Vermont Sky Session is that there aren’t any original compositions. Toth is a fine player, and he’s assembled a remarkably fluid ensemble. Still, it would be nice to hear what else is kicking around in that musical mind of his. Perhaps he’ll provide a few more hints on Saturday, April 29 at Burlington’s Red Square.
A recent “Saturday Night Live” skit parodied a Regis-style morning show, complete with an interminably cheesy theme song. The joke was that the house band played for so long that there was no time left for the show. Vermont funk act Viscus’ new disc Merging feels a bit like that sketch. The CD starts off remarkably strong. Its opening title track is a blast of instrumental party funk boasting sax, organ and a propulsive beat. Interestingly, the album’s closing track is a reprise of the same tune. It’s the stuff in between that fails to make a lasting impression. “Separate Paths” and “The Water” attempt to keep the funk vibe rolling. But Viscus’ lyrical and vocal shortcomings rob the music of much of its potency. Guest singer Myra Mathis-Flynn livens up several of the songs, but microphone mainstays Ira Friedman and Derek Campbell don’t fare nearly as well. At best they come across like a strange hybrid of Buster Poindexter and a B-list Elvis impersonator. There are even a couple of ill-advised attempts at rap. Friedman’s prose aims for a universal positivism, suggesting the world’s problems can be solved solely through openhearted optimism. While there’s plenty of metaphoric cheese to go around, the lowest point comes in “Absence,” which subscribes to the notion that the more lyrics rhyme, the better they are. Compounding the problem is the length of the tunes. Most of ’em are in the five-to-six minute range, with a handful running considerably longer. Viscus are undeniably strong musicians. Yet, due to unnecessary repetition, I found myself ready to hit skip before most tracks had reached their halfway point. Unsurprisingly, Viscus sound best when working up an instrumental sweat. “Stevie”’s clavinet-fueled dance groove apes the funky bounce of its assumed namesake, Stevie Wonder. Merging’s strongest cut is “New Groove.” It’s also one of the disc’s shortest tunes. On it, baritone saxman Luke Laplant hurtles alongside British spy movie organ and a sick cowbell groove. Perhaps the record simply needs more cowbell. Hmm, isn’t that another “SNL” skit?

P EXHIBIT “Transformation: Sky and Water,” recent paintings by Judy Hawkins. Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery, Shelburne. Through May 9.
ARTWORK “Lauren’s View” by Judy Hawkins
PHOTO Marc Awodey
utney artist Judy Hawkins pursues two themes, one of which is water; Hawkins is a painter of clouds, rivers and reflections dancing over aquatic surfaces. Her second, less obvious, theme is the expressive power of painting. As she reinterprets the natural world, Hawkins paints with supreme confidence, a mature yet evolving personal aesthetic, and a total mastery of color. Several of the 18 Hawkins paintings now on view at the Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne are veritable kaleidoscopes. Nature is a point of departure in Hawkins’ best works. But in a few others, such as “Morning Mist,” the landscape seems like little more than a motif. The most conservative landscape in the show, Hawkins’ 30-by-24-inch marshland morning, with scruffy brown grasses, gray skies and silvery water, is virtually colorlessin both senses of the word. But its excessive circumspection sets it apart. While 36-by-24-inch “Evaporation” relies on a similar misty morning palette, it’s in a dynamic composition of angled furrows, curving slightly over a subtle rise in the field at left. A triangle of dark values unfolds in the upper right of the horizontal piece. That chromatic distance between light and dark imparts a measure of drama that “Morning Mist” lacks. All of Hawkins paintings are structurally robust. When her colors become
equally exciting, the paintings truly sing. The 2-by-2-foot square “River Setback” transitions from calm naturalistic hues to expressive warm colors in a topsy-turvy way. Naturalistic skies — cerulean blue and puffy white clouds — lounge as a placid reflection in the bottom third of the canvas, but as the eye travels upward to the sky itself, the local color gives way to dark turquoise, yellow green, and, ultimately, fiery reds and orange. As in “Evaporation,” “River Setback” has a dark and murky upper right hand corner that provides stark contrast between light and dark values. Hawkins takes risks with hues and execution to the point of being idiosyncratic in several pieces that focus on rushing water. The results are superb. Her 24-by30-inch oil “Wave” has foamy dots and curls of white, while squiggles of bright colors create a cacophony of brilliant hues. Warmer colors are located in the center of the canvas, as dark corners frame the wave. Hawkins’ tumultuous waters seem influenced in equal measure by Asian landscapes and Post-Impressionism. If those are among her influences, however, both sources have been perfectly synchronized to invent a completely original personal approach. “Ripples and Splashes” has short squiggles of white floating over churning patches of red-orange and Prussian blue.
Hawkins painted the 24-by-30-inch work with distinct layers of color, giving her rapids wonderful depth. She also varies the intensity of her paint, with differing degrees of opacity in the way the colors are laid down. The 30-by-30 inch “Lauren’s View” is in the same class of abstractions as “Ripples and Splashes” and “Wave,” but several stones under the rapids shape the flow of their stream. Eddies and spray interact with the rocks, as water rushes upon them on all sides. Hawkins used variations of blue in designing the composition, but a few red patches on the nearly black stones impart calmness — a lack of movement — suggesting steady islands in the stream. If Hawkins is producing two bodies of work simultaneously — one as conservative as “Morning Mist” and the other as almost wholly abstract as “Ripples and Splashes” — it wouldn’t be the first time an artist fished with two kinds of bait. There are no dates ascribed to the paintings, but in her artist’s statement Hawkins notes: “My most recent paintings explore intimate views of water, trying to capture its multi-dimensions . . . from stream bottom through layers of water, to the surface tension, flow and water splashes, to reflections in the water.” She adds, “There are endless possibilities.” This show certainly proves that point. m

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT
“Lost” Art
V IMAGE Matthew Thorsen “Painting Faces on War: Brave Hearts of the Lost Boys and Girls of Sudan.” Sanctuary Artsite at Jager DiPaola Kemp, 47 Maple Street, Burlington. Opening reception April 28, 5:30-8 p.m. Through May. Silent Auction Fundraiser, with traditional food. Saturday, April 29, 6 p.m. 3rd Floor, Firehouse Gallery, Burlington.
ermont, arguably one of the best places in the world to live, will get a glimpse of one of the worst through a month-long exhibit of paintings by Sudanese clustered in the Kakuma refugee camp in northern Kenya. The opposites meet at Sanctuary Artsite at Jager Di Paolo Kemp in Burlington, where they will be bridged by images and oral histories of some of the Sudanese who have settled in Chittenden County during the past five years. The show offers an unusual opportunity to see works of beauty that have been created amidst squalor, hunger and constant threat of rape and killing. “Painting Faces of War: Brave Hearts of the Lost Boys and Girls of Sudan” will also enable Vermonters to learn about an endangered culture that, for all its “otherness,” appears fully recognizable in its values and aspirations. The exhibit is as much an act of cultural documentation as it is an encounter with an unfamiliar aesthetic. “It’s a call to look,” says Sarah Kariko, the show’s organizer. “These paintings give a visual voice to those who have no other representations of their families and villages.” Because there is so little photographic documentation of where they came from — a part of Africa that’s routinely ignored by the Western media — “there’s a whole generation of kids in the refugee camps who have not even an indirect experience of traditional life,” Kariko notes. Surprisingly, only a few of the 30 paintings produced by the refugee artists in Kakuma camp depict scenes of violence and bereavement. Such subject matter reflects the current and past circumstances of 70,000 Sudanese who fled to Kakuma, almost always on foot, from a civil war that pitted Arab-dominated government forces against Christian and animist black-African guerrillas fighting for greater autonomy in their southern Sudanese homeland. An estimated two million Sudanese lost their lives in the course of a 22-year conflict that officially ended 17 months ago. The Kakuma camp, administered by the United Nations, has offered relative respite from the gruesome conditions inside Sudan. But Kakuma and another large Sudanese refugee camp in Kenya are notorious for their searing heat, lack of vegetation and

scorpion infestations. Also common are raids by local bandits and sexual assaults on women who leave the camps to herd goats and collect water or firewood. In addition, the UN recently cut food rations for the refugees by 20 percent due to drought and inadequate donations from well-fed countries. In one print to be included in the show, an image of a woman with skulls and bones scattered around her is super-imposed on a yellow-colored map of Sudan. Human bones are also present in a framed reproduction in which a man facing the viewer holds human remains, while another figure seen from the back raises his arms in despair or supplication. Several tableaux of tranquility, and even merriment, will also be on display. Among them is an acrylic work on paper by Jima Anak showing four women of the Dinka tribe, one of whom is braiding the hair of another, in relaxed yet attentive poses. In a similarly striking work by Jacob Lueth Achol, a trio of Kashipo
tribeswomen with distended lips and feathered headdresses weave brightly colored baskets. “When I unzipped a suitcase full of folded canvases from Kakuma, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” recalls Kariko, who has been working without compensation since August to assemble the show. “I was very moved and impressed by the overall level of artistry.” The refugee artists use whatever material is at hand in a place of acute scarcity. Three of the works in the show were painted last summer on mosquito netting that has begun to disintegrate. Kariko, who is delicately framing these pieces, says they can be stabilized through conservation efforts the Shelburne Museum is helping to arrange. A number of the artists included in “Painting Faces of War” are students of Atem Thuc Aleu, who lived in Kakuma for nine years and is now studying art at Brigham Young University in Utah. Aleu will be conducting workshops and giving talks in conjunction with the show during a local residency that runs from April 28 to May 6. He began teaching himself drawing in 1994 at age 14 by studying art books UN aid workers made available. Aleu showed so much talent that he was eventually made an instructor of about 75 other young Sudanese in Kakuma. Designated for settlement in Utah in 2001, Aleu is among the few thousand fortunate Sudanese refugees admitted to the United States in the past 25 years. “The year I started painting in Kakuma, I was having dreams of Sudan and of my people every night,” Aleu said in a telephone interview last week. “Every morning I tried to draw my dream. I would often see people running and being shot.” Both of Aleu’s parents were killed by Sudanese troops in the 1980s. Four of his six siblings also died in attacks carried out by the army or allied militias. Three or four of Aleu’s paintings will be included in the show, along with monoprints, lithographs and watercolors he has made in recent years. A couple of these are geometric abstractions, with pastel-colored horizontal and vertical bars etched with thin circular swirls. Aleu is scheduled to lead an art-composition workshop for local Sudanese on April 29. Those attending will be among the 100 or so “Lost Boys” who have settled in the Burlington area in the past few years. Like Aleu, they came to the United States from refugee camps in Kenya, where most lived as orphans. They have had to acclimate to an unfamiliar climate and culture — a challenge exacerbated by prejudice on the part of some locals, according to Kariko. She befriended some of the Lost Boys soon after they began arriving in Vermont in 2001. Kariko, a 37-yearold sculptor, says she became committed to helping the refugees after seeing a segment on CBS’ “60 Minutes” about their harrowing escapes from Sudan and subse-
quent consignment to the Kenya camps. One of Kariko’s initial steps was to enroll a few of the Sudanese refugees in driver-education courses and to help them find apartments. She invites several of them to her South Burlington home for what has become an annual corn roast, and has also accompanied them on apple-picking and kayaking outings. “What amazes me is that they still have so much joie de vivre despite everything they’ve gone through,” Kariko says. A dozen capsule autobiographies of locally resettled Lost Boys will be displayed in transcript form as part of the Burlington exhibit. This “Story Wall,” assembled by students in an anthropology class at St. Michael’s College, will also include photographic portraits of 10 Lost Boys — and a Lost Girl — by Mary Lake, a St. Mike’s senior. Lake says she hopes to compile a book of photos, oral histories and paintings from the show for distribution to Burlington and Winooski shops that are frequented by Sudanese. “Maybe that will help people better understand the background and make them more receptive to the Africans who have come here,” Lake says. Visitors to the show will be asked to donate money and/or art supplies for the refugees still in Kakuma. Proceeds from the sale of the paintings and prints, which range in price from $25 to about $2500, will be shared among the artists, a foundation established by Aleu, and needy members of the local Sudanese community, Kariko says. Showgoers will also be asked to take political action in the United States on behalf of the still-displaced southern Sudanese as well as the victims of what the Bush administration describes as a genocide currently occurring in the Darfur region in western Sudan. “One thing Vermonters can do is support education to empower the Sudanese to take their own country back,” Kariko says. She notes that the discovery of major oil deposits in southern Sudan has drawn considerable interest from outside investors. “We should do what we can to help the Sudanese control their own resources rather than having the Chinese come in and buy up the southern half of the country,” Kariko says. m

theborowitzreport BOLTEN STRIPS SELF OF POWER
J
ust days after forcing the resignation of White House spokesman Scott McClellan and reducing the role of political advisor Karl Rove, newly installed White House chief of staff Joshua Bolten stunned Beltway observers today by stripping himself of power as well. Moving from his spacious corner office to a card table in the hallway, Mr. Bolten explained his extraordinary decision to reduce his own role at the White House to almost nothing. “I have been stripping people of power around here and this sends the message that there are no exceptions,” Mr. Bolten said. Mr. Bolten said that the only power he would retain would be “the power to strip other people of power,” adding that he had just stripped Postmaster General John E. Potter of the
ability to mail letters or buy stamps. While Mr. Bolten’s decision to strip himself of power struck some in Washington as perplexing, political scientist Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota called it “a
and woman in the White House now has less power to do any harm.” But Mr. Logsdon said he did not believe that it was necessary for Mr. Bolten to strip President Bush of power, explaining, “Dick Cheney did
I have been stripping people of power around here and this sends the message that there are no exceptions. Mr. Bolten political masterstroke.” “Right now, the Bush administration’s approval ratings are at an all-time low,” Mr. Logsdon said. “It will be reassuring for the American people to know that every man
that years ago.” Elsewhere, after wife Katie Holmes gave birth on Tuesday, Tom Cruise informed the people of the world that it was “okay” for them to make noise again. m

The Sentinel HHH
I MEN IN BLACK Douglas tells Sutherland for like the billionth time he never had an affair with his wife.
f Michael Douglas were the Beatles, Catherine Zeta-Jones would have to be Yoko Ono. The guy had a nearly unrivaled run for a decade and a half, from Romancing the Stone and Wall Street through Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct and, more recently, The Game. Traffic and The Wonder Boys both came out in 2000. It’s been downhill for Douglas ever since: One Night at McCools, It Runs in the Family, a lame remake of The InLaws. Is anybody surprised? If you had Catherine Zeta-Jones at home, would your mind be on business? However blissful it’s been for him on the domestic front, the new century hasn’t exactly been the best of times for the actor professionally. The Sentinel, I am sorry to say, does nothing to reverse that trend. Adapted from the novel by Gerald Petievich and directed by Clark Johnson, the film — in which Douglas plays a Secret Service agent accused of plotting to kill the president — is a ho-hum crossbreeding of In the Line of Fire and The Fugitive. The opening half hour offers a semi-diverting look at daily life in the White House from the point of view of the elite staff of agents assigned to guarding the first couple. A stunning amount of fuss, for example, is made over the simple matter of the President and the First Lady waking up, going through their morning routine, and heading off in a motorcade to their day’s activities. Code names are whispered into miniature radios, and top-secret traffic routes are kept undercover until the last possible moment. A small army of men and women in black closely monitors the couple’s every move; snipers are positioned on the rooftops. Realistic detail quickly gives way to B-movie monkey business, however. Douglas’ character, Pete Garrison, is a legend in the department — the agent who saved Reagan’s life by throwing himself on the president and taking a bullet for him. These days he’s more likely to be found throwing himself on the current president’s wife. That’s right, he’s having an affair with the First Lady — a fact that’s only slightly harder to swallow than the proposition that the chief executive is married to Kim Basinger. Or that, in residences constantly swarming with Secret Service personnel, Garrison could possibly conduct such a covert op without dozens of officers catching on. Equally difficult to buy: A fellow agent (played by the film’s director) has uncovered evidence which we later learn
SHORTS points to the existence of a traitor in their midst. Rather than bullet-train the information to someone with the authority to act on it, he passes Garrison in the hallway and simply asks him to telephone after work. Needless to say, the fellow does not live to take that call. The next thing we know, Garrison is being sent envelopes containing incriminating photos of himself and First Lady Basinger. At about the same time, a snitch informs him that a plot is afoot to assassinate the president, and someone inside the agency is involved. We are never told how the informant could possibly have knowledge of the plan, much less the evidence he supplies. Nor are we surprised when he turns up deceased, too. As hard-to-swallow plot developments continue to be served up, we are ever less surprised. Kiefer Sutherland costars as the agent placed in charge of the investigation: David Breckinridge and Garrison used to be best friends. Now Breckinridge has it in for his old pal because he believes he had an affair with his wife. Garrison denies this. Breckinridge’s wife denies this. Breckinridge at no point provides any basis for believing this. Nonetheless, he has turned on Garrison and is only too happy to issue a warrant for his arrest when he fails to pass the polygraph test every agent is forced to take. Only the audience and Garrison realize the reason for this: One of the questions forces him to lie about his level of access to the body he’s being paid to guard. The second half of the picture is a rehash of The Fugitive, with Garrison using his high-level, well-honed skills to stay one step ahead of the less experienced agents on his trail (These include a rookie played by “Desperate Housewife” Eva Longoria). Just as Harrison Ford did, he manages to be on the lam and uncover evidence pointing to the identity of the guilty party at the same time. Will he unmask the real mole before gung-ho agents can track him down and take him out? Three guesses. The Sentinel is a political thriller that has almost nothing to do with politics and is even lighter on thrills. What it does have is generic Russian bad guys and the feel of an only so-so TV procedural. My advice: Stay home and watch one of those. Eleven years ago Michael Douglas played the American president. Today he’s been reduced to playing one of the president’s men. If he doesn’t turn things around, the next time we see him in the White House, he’s likely to be on the small screen, doing a guest shot on “The West Wing” or “Commander in Chief.” m
AMERICAN DREAMZHH Paul Weitz, the director of American Pie and About a Boy, brings us this comedy, in which a U.S. president tries to restore his popularity by appearing as a judge on an “American Idol”-style talent show. Dennis Quaid, Mandy Moore and Hugh Grant star. (107 min, PG-13) BENCHWARMERSH Dennis (Problem Child) Dugan directs this comedy about a millionaire nerd who forms a nerd baseball team to get back at Little League teams made up of bullies and mean jocks. David Spade, Jon Heder and Rob Schneider star. (85 min, PG-13) BIG MOMMA'S HOUSE 2HH Released just a few weeks too late to qualify for Oscar consideration, this sequel has Martin Lawrence reprising the role of an FBI agent who goes undercover as an overweight, elderly woman. Nia Long costars. John Whitesell directs. (99 min, PG-13) DATE MOVIEH From the writers of the horror-parody Scary Movie comes this parody of romantic comedies featuring Jennifer Coolidge, Fred Willard and Allyson Hannigan. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer direct. (80 min, PG-13) DUMAHHHH Campbell Scott and Hope Davis star in Carroll (Never Cry Wolf) Ballard’s family adventure about a South African boy who adopts an orphaned cheetah as his pet. Alex Michaeletos costars. (100 min, PG) FAILURE TO LAUNCHHH1/2 Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker star in director Tom Dey’s romantic comedy about a slacker who still lives with his parents until he meets a woman who turns his life around. Justin Bartha and Kathy Bates costar. (96 min, PG-13)

and Emmylou Harris. Music is also at the center of Existo, a 1999 cult classic that imagines rightwing Christians taking over the country. They ban singing and dancing. Think Footloose. A band of wacky rebels must fight for the right to party. For more information, call (802) 649-3242 or visit http://www.wrif.org. Have you noticed that the Palace 9 on Shelburne Road recently began showing art-house fare along with more mainstream movies? George Mansour, a Boston cineaste who books films for the theater, says he hopes to avoid duplicating the Roxy schedule. His most successful title to date in this category is the Oscar-nominated Duma, directed by Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion). It’s been held over for weeks. This terrific drama about a boy who raises an orphaned cheetah cub is the highly fictionalized adaptation of How It Was With Dooms, a 1997 memoir by Alexander Hopcraft, now a Middlebury College senior. “I grew up in Kenya, not South Africa,” he notes, pointing out one of the differences between real life and celluloid make-believe. “But it’s still nice to have been able to share the story of my friendship and bond with Dooms, and have it
be recreated into something people can enjoy.” “Young people are incredibly intuitive in this visual medium,” suggests Joe Bookchin, who teaches in Burlington College’s Department of Cinema Studies and Film Production. “I think of our students as being in the vanguard.” The proof will be in the proverbial pudding during the school’s annual film festival, unspooling a dozen short narratives at Higher Ground in South Burlington on Friday at 8 p.m. Two works by Andrew Rosenthal, a 22-year-old senior from Essex, will be spotlighted: “Tent Below Freezing,” a romantic comedy about friends “with a long history of making stupid bets,” is his thesis project. “Toby’s Last Resort,” which he describes as “an experimental, dark dramedy with music,” involves a father-son power struggle. After graduating, Rosenthal plans to launch a company called Double Jointed Productions to craft commercials for local businesses and music videos for Vermont bands. Meanwhile, in addition to providing the off-campus debut of his current efforts, the fest will offer what he sees as “a chance to celebrate the moving image.” 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.
Ed Asner says it’s hard to WIN the alpha chick if you’re BALD. The Oxford DON looked eerie with his face SARAN wrapped. Many a Dane has LAIN on the chaise at Cha-cha’s CHAMBER of Joy. The LESS one behaves, the shorter the arm of the LAW. No MAN is quite the same who did HACK the head off a chicken. In LANDS with lots of corn there is many a ROW to hoe. In late April the flowering BANKS of the Winooski’s are oh so FAIR. A MAN should handle a woman’s vanity with KID gloves. If you do a tree count, you’ll find there’s more WOOD in the EAST. To BURN weed while burning rubber is not HEP, my brother. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASIER THAN YOU’D THINK. 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.

All three segments of the 80-minute doc are on tap Saturday morning, followed by a panel discussion that includes Boston Globe critic Ty Burr. The military setting of Guy X, a black comedy similar to Catch-22 or M*A*S*H, invites comparisons with the contemporary U.S. war machine.

He’ll be on hand for a benefit reception Friday evening, along with director Saul Metzstein, who’s flying in from his native Scotland. “A Lover’s Quarrel With America,” by Anne Macksoud of Woodstock, profiles William Sloane Coffin.

SAX APPEAL In 1982, Toronto-based soprano sax player Jane Bunnett was looking for a cheap way to escape a Canadian winter. She traveled to Cuba, and became enthralled by the island’s complex jazz rhythms. Way before Buena Vista Social Club broke, she was studying Cuba’s musical culture and showcasing its musicians’ dexterity. Bunnett, who also plays flute and piano, has been nominated twice for a Grammy. Her latest album, Radio Guantanamo, was named “Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year” at Canada’s 2006 Juno Awards. Courtesy of the Green Mountain Jazz Series, salseros shake it up at two fiery dance concerts featuring Bunnett as part of the Afro-Cuban sextet The Spirits of Havana.

scene@EARTH DAY SWAP STOP & FASHION SHOP JAMBA’S JUNKTIQUES AND THE GREEN CLOSET, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, NOON. Just because you schedule events in honor of the Earth doesn’t mean Mother Nature is going to cooperate. “We’ve never held an event when it didn’t rain,� said Finn Sonin, owner of Jamba’s Junktiques, as we watched a couple of helpers raise a tarp over a rickety assortment of second-hand chairs, a duct-taped vinyl diner-style stool, a battered loveseat and a row of four blue, cushioned theater seats. The odd collection of rump rests would be the site later that evening of an auction to benefit Bike Recycle Vermont, which donates used bikes, locks and helmets to those who can’t afford them. I squeezed under a pop-up tent to stay out of the cold mist, while Sonin haggled with a customer over a set of used hedge clippers. “Two dollars,� Sonin said. “It’s Earth Day,� the customer replied. “I’ll give you three.� I walked around the corner to the Green Closet, to see if festivities there were any busier. A fashion show, billed as “Post-Decadent Reconstructed,� was scheduled to kick off soon. A handful of shoppers quietly perused the shelves and the special Earth Day free bin. “Hmmm,� said co-owner Xmas Alley. “I think the fashion show may be a no go.� “Fashion models,� added her partner Dorian Alley. “They’re notoriously erratic, aren’t they? They probably took one look at the weather and said forget it. I imagine they’re drinking down at Three Needs.� I walked to the free garment drop-off and swap bin, in which people had been depositing and taking old clothes all day. Some duds looked okay, but others were pretty ratty. And I wondered if everyone had thought to run their donations through the washer before dropping them off. I couldn’t help feeling that on this drizzly Earth Day, the fashion models might have had the right idea. I decided to celebrate by getting a hot toddy in a cozy corner where I could stay warm and dry. MARK AIKEN

TRANNY PACK With both Brokeback Mountain and TransAmerica garnering nominations, this year’s Oscar Awards seemed to mark a breakthrough for queer issues in mainstream entertainment. But as Tranny Roadshow organizers see it, those Hollywood flicks just confirmed straight views of gender politics. In a tour from Toronto to Tallahassee, members of the multimedia performance-art extravaganza, who all self-identify as somewhere between male and female, emphasize that they’re just normal folks with whole lives. Photographers, guitarists, comedians, zine-writers and activists join a violinist who also sings opera, and artist Dylan Scholinski shares excerpts from his memoir The Last Time I Wore A Dress.

LAST RESORT The U.S.-Mexico border may be permeable now, but it was even more seedily so in Tennessee Williams’ day. In the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright’s 1961 The Night of the Iguana, American tourists in Mexico are at the mercy of an ex-minister-turned-tour-guide accused of sleeping with a seductive 16-year-old in their party. This guide retreats with his group to buddy’s hotel on the Mexican coast, only to find that his friend has died and his randy widow is running the business. Characters connect over a long night of conversation, before a tragic yet thrilling ending. Ticket seekers, beware — last Saturday’s Shelburne Players show sold out.

A contributing editor to National Public Radio’s “This American Life” for more than a decade, Vowell has penned honest and oddball narratives about subjects ranging from her father’s homemade cannon to her Cherokee ancestors’ forced march on the Trail of Tears. Vowell’s querulous voice also vivified teenage superhero Violet Parr in The Incredibles. Her fourth essay collection, Assassination Vacation, chronicles travel to locations associated with the murders of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. Vowell fires off readings from the book and describes her approach to writing. A pre-reading discussion allows readers to air their own opinions.

BITE ME Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the animated TV comedy hit “South Park,” excel at pushing the envelope of social decency. The dynamic duo’s Team America: World Police was the world’s first action-adventure flick featuring marionettes. Parker wrote Cannibal! The Musical on his own. The taboo-tweaking film, now adapted for the stage, tells the true story of Alfred Packer, the only person ever convicted of cannibalism in America. In it, a toothy miner confesses to a reporter while awaiting execution: Searching for gold and love in the Colorado Territory, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unspeakable horrors, including toe-tapping songs. Johnson State drama students lay out the whole bloody, bearded and catchy cliffhanger.

free will astrology
L RE A
APRIL 27 -MAY 03
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Let’s put your salary in perspective. If you earn more than $2182 per year, you’re wealthier than 85 percent of the world’s population. That’s according to www.GlobalRichList.com. Even though you’re pretty well-off, however, I’m going to dare you to ask for more. It’s the perfect astrological phase to do so. The omens suggest that you will attract benefactors and drum up cosmic support if you make even a half-assed attempt to get richer quicker. Homework: Write down three things you could do to raise your income.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Recently I had minor eye surgery to close some tiny holes in my retina. It wasn’t a big deal — just a preventive measure — and it didn’t have any effect on my actual physical vision. The best part of the experience happened because of the nurse who prepped me for the procedure. She used a felt-tip pen to write “YES” over my right eyebrow, ensuring that the surgeon wouldn’t aim the laser into the wrong eye. I didn’t wash off the “YES” until 24 hours after the operation, and was pleased at the unexpected effect it had. I found myself using my eyes more aggressively — with a greater hunger to study my surroundings. It was as if the written “YES” had given me a subliminal suggestion to switch on a figurative “YES” in my perceptual apparatus. Now I’m recommending this trick to you, Taurus. It’s a perfect astrological moment to perk up your seeing. I dare you to write “YES” over both of your eyebrows.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): On some days you work on creating your tapestry, weaving each thread with care and artistry. On other days you inexplicably unravel the same tapestry, undoing your fine efforts. Is there some hidden purpose in this maddening rhythm — a strategy I can’t fathom? Or is it fueled by a half-conscious compulsion you feel helpless to resist? Please get clear, Gemini, about what’s motivating you to take two steps forward, then two steps backward. I’d like to see you go at least three steps forward, two steps backward.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): “An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all,” said author Elbert Hubbard. I don’t know if I would go quite that far, but I do like the notion that the best ideas are disruptive to the status quo. Your mission in the coming weeks, Cancerian, is to flirt with and even embrace ideas like that — revolutionary perspectives that tend to undermine the way things have always been done and usher in fresh approaches to living the good life. For inspiration, you might want to check out The World Question Center (http://snipurl.com/lpik), which is collecting answers to the question “What is your dangerous idea?”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the pagan calendar, the coming week brings Beltane, one of the major holidays of the year. Halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, it marks a time of teeming fertility, when the life forces of the natural world are in full bloom, in our bodies as much as in plants and animals. At Beltane, many of us have access to more creativity than usual. Our vitality may be at a peak and our libidos fully unfurled. The effect is enhanced for you Leos by the fact that you’re in the confidence-building phase of your personal cycle. As a result, you now have an excellent opportunity to get into the zone, where you can wield power with a playful spirit that’s nourishing to everyone whose life you touch.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Bird-watchers in North Dakota are reporting a host of unusual sightings. A mountain plover has been spotted for the first time since the 1930s. The cormorant-like anhinga, which is native to swamps in southern climates, has also made an appearance. So has the Eurasian wigeon, a noisy duck that is rarely found outside of Europe and Asia. In addition, there have been visits by five other species that are unknown in the area. What’s going on? Another byproduct of global warming and the weird effects it’s generating? Maybe. Whatever it is, Virgo, a metaphorically similar experience will soon occur in your sphere. You’ll be mingling

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Will the truth set you free? Maybe, but first it will set you on fire, metaphorically speaking. Once you have been completely consumed by the flames and been reborn out of the ashes like the mythical phoenix, then you might be able to figure out how to use the truth to set yourself free — and to set others free as well. As long as you’re armed with the knowledge in this horoscope, Libra, the process won’t hurt as much as you might imagine. In fact, the predominant sensation may be exultation. Here’s some homework to get you started: Write your three top fears on a piece of paper and burn it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Sun and Mercury are lighting up your astrological House of Relationships. Uranus, the planet of awakening, is animating your House of Creativity, and is in a sweetly harmonious aspect with the expansive planet Jupiter, which is invigorating your House of Beginnings. What does it all mean? You have a fantastic opportunity to experiment with the ways you conduct your intimate alliances. I suggest that you have major fun as you introduce previously undreamed-of innovations into your three best bonds.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The biggest problem in the world could have been solved when it was small,” said the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu. Let this advice serve as an early warning, Sagittarius. Unless you pounce immediately, a simple little glitch will eventually turn into a huge, nightmarish puzzle. Luckily, you now have all the resources you need to dispatch the annoyance with relative grace and ease.
states they stir up results in complaints from people who’d prefer you to act like a predictable machine, I’ve written the following excuse note for you to give them: Please forgive Capricorns for departing from their routine behavior, including but not limited to disobeying orders, defying fate, sticking out their tongues, belly-laughing at odd moments, and dancing backwards on the tombstones of evildoers. They are currently under the influence of astrological factors that tend to dissolve inhibitions and awaken dormant joy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s Return to the Source Week for you, Aquarius — also known as Listen to Your Wild Heart Week and Honor Your Core Truths Week and Focus on the Juicy Gist Week. The best way to celebrate this priority-sharpening, attention-honing time is to get twice as serious about feeding the one dream that’s more important to you than all others. Now study the counsel of Malidoma Some, as expressed in his book Of Water and the Spirit: “No one’s center is like anyone else’s. Find your own center, not the center of your neighbor, not the center of your father or mother or family or ancestor, but the center that is yours and yours alone.”
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): For six and a half months in 1881, James Garfield was President of the United States. More impressive than his modest accomplishments during his short time in office was his multilingual ambidexterity. He could write a passage in Latin with one hand even as he wrote in Greek with the other hand. That kind of skill reminds me of the aptitudes you will have in the coming weeks, Pisces. If you so choose, you’ll be able to take multitasking to profound new levels. Juggling will be your ruling metaphor. You may even be able to make a beautiful mess with one hand while creating a dynamic peace with the other.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are your magic words for the coming week: spree, frolic, whoopee, carouse, escapade, fiesta, and siesta. Invoke them often as you act out their meanings. And if your research into the altered

Dear Lola, When women complain about vaginal lubrication during intercourse, the issue is usually dryness. I have the opposite problem. When I’m feeling sexy I get so slick and wet that I can hardly even feel my boyfriend’s penis. Plus it makes an awful mess. Any suggestions? Flooding in Fairfax
Dear Flooding, Vaginal wetness varies according to a woman’s level of arousal, menstrual cycle phase and stage of life. Too much lubrication may sound like an oxymoron, but it can dampen satisfaction for both partners. Unfortunately, lubrication is easier to add than to subtract, but you could try drying out your system with an antihistamine. A commercial product called AbsorbShun claims to be a “natural powder.” Applied to the penis, it’s supposed to soak up moisture. I can’t vouch for it, but it might be worth checking out. More extreme, medical solutions involve freezing or lasering the cervix. In the meantime, you can also work on your Kegels — practice contracting your vaginal muscles — between and during intercourse. That won’t keep you dry, but it can help you feel more of what you’re up to. Love, Lola
