’HOOD HERO Thank you for the truly striking article about Brooke Hadwen and her one-woman-crusading Community Support Program [“Girl in the ’Hood,” August 11]. Cathy Resmer did, in my opinion, a New Yorker-quality job with that article, and the photo does excellent justice to Ms. Hadwen. Everybody with a brain reads Seven Days, and this incredibly valuable program has now gotten the exposure it needs and deserves. As an ex-Washington, D.C., street cop, I can tell you that the Brooke Hadwens of this world are worth their weight in gold. Now they’ll probably even have to hire more Brookes! (Though they won’t find another like her — that mold’s broken, alas.) Thank you again. Seven Days rules. Jim Tabor WAITSFIELD

“I LIVE WITHOUT PAIN SINCE ROLFING.” “I had tried lots of things, but working with Jeff is what has really made the difference." — Vanda Crook, Hinesburg

TUNED OUT? My husband and I read Karen M. Geiger’s letter [August 11] with recognition and amusement. Our outwardly cool quotient is lacking and we have suffered the same fate at Radio Bean. (Ironically, we make our living as artists.) After going in search of our dark master, coffee, we have been served up disdain from the hipster staff on multiple

occasions. Happily, we have returned to the other local brew houses where our kind is welcome. Kim Kulow-Jones BURLINGTON

SMALL-BUSINESS CLIMATE I was disheartened to read Cathy Resmer’s article about union organizers in Montpelier [“A More Perfect Union,” August 4]. Why? I’m all for unions. I think everyone deserves to have a good working environment, a good rate of pay, flexibility and, most importantly, respect in their job. However, I don’t think these basic rights should come at the expense of the small-business owner, who more often than not is struggling for the very same things. The union organizers whom Resmer writes about seem to disregard the fact that the working relationship between employee and employer is one of mutual benefit; as the business prospers, thanks to the shared efforts of the workers and the employer (especially in a small business), the rate of pay and other benefits for everyone involved increases. In this regard, setting up an adversarial relationship between the workers and the employer is just not good business. As a small-business owner, I’ve found that the problem is not figuring out how to pay my

employees less, but how to pay them more. Health care, paid vacations and other realistic benefits aren’t even in the distant future for small businesses struggling with utilities and maintenance costs, rising vendor prices, high liability insurance and various taxes imposed upon them by all levels of government. Yet to attract and keep good employees, good pay and benefits are an essential part of the package. Calling all small-business owners “the enemy” seems to be a facile and overly dramatic way to call attention to a cause which should be in the best interest of everyone, but which the union organizers have predetermined to be only about the workers. Rather than focus on the beleaguered business owners, perhaps union organizers, employees and employers alike should band together to assess what we all want as workers, and then charge the government to make sure we get it. Surely a nation as strong as ours is capable of providing such basics as health insurance, child care, disability insurance and paid vacations. Or is that just something that the supposed weaker nations (Canada, Great Britain and France, to name but a few) are able to manage? Tara Vaughan-Hughes

ENSURE HOUSING Thanks to Ken Picard for an adroit characterization of the human costs of the Section 8 budget cuts [“Federal Offense,” August 11]. The devastating effects will ripple throughout this community. Burlington has been dealt an additional hit in its 2005 non-residential tax rates. In spite

of testimony by the Mayor and other community leaders, and pleas that a phase-in be considered, the rate was set in Montpelier at $3.34 — 62 cents above the homestead rate! This increase will greatly impact businesses, landlords and, inevitably, tenants. Market forces in this city have already driven rents to the apex

of affordability; increases will force many to seek housing alternatives. Compounded with the loss of Section 8 vouchers, an unconscionable crisis looms. Please join me in demanding protections for our most vulnerable neighbors: Email, call and write letters, and most importantly, use your vote in

November to ensure that Burlington remains a “livable” city for all of our residents. Cheryl McDonough BURLINGTON

McDonough is a City Councilor representing Ward 2.

TELL THE WHOLE STORY With all due respect, I was a bit disappointed with Cathy Resmer’s article on the Burlington LARP [“Interview With Vampires,” July 21]. First and foremost, White-Wolf Gaming Studios clearly states in all of its literature that the storylines and campaigns they publish are suggestions, and I can guarantee that the plotlines being unraveled in Burlington are solely the creative impulses of Pat Gallagher and his associates. Second, I would have liked to have seen a bit more detail in the article in regards to the acting that goes on, or perhaps at least a bit more humanization of the gamers. Being a storyteller in the Montpelier LARP, and a friend of the storytellers in Essex Junction, I see a lot of people making grand assumptions about roleplayers (we’re Satanists, or at least witches; we’re real vampires, or we’re just a bunch of dorky kids with no lives), and it’s difficult to dispel those rumors. My partner and I are the parents of a soonto-be 4-year-old, and I work as an auditor for the state. Another of my “gamer” friends is a successful entrepreneur, and we introduce new types of people to the game every week. I guess my point is that I would have liked to have seen >> 38A

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Vietnam Flashback

lease. Tell me I’m not crazy. We’re smackdab in the middle of a nasty war in the sands of Mesopotamia with no end in sight, but every time I turn on the news, all they’re talking about is the Vietnam War of 35 years ago. Is this some kind of scheme to promote pot smoking and loose sex among the Viagra generation? Or revive the LSD business among the grandparent set? With everybody arguing over the Vietnam War on every channel and talk show, the current real war orchestrated by George W. Bush simmers along out of view, exactly where Bush would like it to be. This is a chapter lifted right out of the movie Wag the Dog. How easy it is to divert national attention. Bravo, Karl Rove! All the network news shows are suddenly fixated on the Purple Hearts of 1969 while ignoring the Purple Hearts of 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. “This may be the last election,” said Newsweek writer Eleanor Clift Sunday, “where Vietnam is a central issue.” Clift spoke at the Sheraton in South Burlington to about 100 eager listeners. Her visit was sponsored by Vermont Woman. Clift is one of our favorites. For more than 20 years she’s won a loyal following battling the loud-mouthed male regulars on the original political TV shout show, “The McLaughlin Group” on PBS. “Tell-it-like-it-is” Eleanor admitted she’d been wrong to once think that John Kerry “was uniquely qualified to heal the division between those who fought the war and those who fought against the war because he had done both.” Instead, the Bush team has used a front group, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, “to smear Kerry’s Vietnam record and simultaneously divert national attention from the current increasingly unpopular war in Iraq.” The Swift Boat Veterans are really not about what John Kerry did in Vietnam, said Clift, “but about what he said when he came back home and was a leader of the antiwar movement.” In particular, Kerry’s 1971 congressional testimony about atrocities committed by U.S. troops in Vietnam has drawn the ire of the Bush boat vets. Kerry was merely recounting public testimony that had earlier been given by fellow vets who had witnessed or partook in such conduct. Surprisingly, we’ve yet to see any news organization mention the well-documented massacre of more than 500 women and children at My Lai. Interesting. If we’re going to re-fight Vietnam, then let’s let it all hang out. And let’s not forget the words of the greatest political poet/folk singer of that era: Phil Ochs. Ochs boiled down the U.S. foreign policy debacle in Vietnam into two little lines put to music: “Oh, we’re fighting in a war we lost before the war began. We’re the white boots marching in a Yellow Land.” The Pentagon Papers proved Ochs right. We did know ahead of time that winning was not possible. President Lyndon Johnson ignored the intelligence.

And, yes, you’re absolutely right. The Ochs Analysis fits the current Iraq War like a glove. More Clift — Ms. Clift is herself a bit of a Vietnam-era flashback. She recounted her first job at Newsweek, not as a reporter but as a secretary. There were no women reporters at Newsweek back then. But at least everyone smoked cigarettes anywhere they damn well pleased, eh? Clift offered a positively brilliant analysis of the different personalities of Bush and Kerry. “Bush is a gambler,” she said. “He rolls the dice. He’s a gut player who trusts his instincts. He never second-guesses himself. He never looks back. He makes decisions on belief and conviction rather than submit them to rigorous scrutiny. He did not seek out opposing views on taking the country to war, and there were plenty of them out there.” Kerry’s personality is “very different,” said Clift. She painted him as “very cautious.” “Sometimes you have to remind yourself this is a man who actually enlisted to go to Vietnam, who commanded a Swift Boat into enemy fire and then, as a 27-year-old, took on the Nixon administration in challenging the war. That boldness has not been evident in his Senate career. He’s a very careful politician who sees all the grays and the nuances and is actually quite slow to act.” Clift had nothing but praise for TV host and ex-Jesuit John McLaughlin, now in his mid-seventies. Surprisingly, she also had very kind words for right-wing stalwart Pat Buchanan. “He is, on a personal level,” said Eleanor, “a very gentlemanly person. He never hogs the airtime.” Buchanan is also, she confessed, “a fellow cat lover.” Clift was not so high on “Hardball” host Chris Matthews. She called him “a McLaughlin wannabe” who is “much too loud and boorish.” On the prospect of four more years of Bush II, Eleanor said, “Oh, I think if Bush has a second term, he will stew in his own juices. The war will continue to be difficult. There’s no money to do anything. I don’t think whoever’s going to be president is going to have an easy time.” Bright future, eh? Jim and George — To hear the brilliant 30-second radio spot the Douglas Campaign began airing statewide last week, one would never guess the candidate was a lifelong member of the Republican Party. “Vermont is heading in the right directions,” says the crisp, mellow radio voice of Jim Douglas. The Guv tells listeners about lowering health-care costs, increasing jobs, lifting an “unfair tax burden” and protecting the environment by backing “legal action against the Bush administration when they wouldn’t protect our air and water.” Sure sounds like a Democrat, eh?

Natureâ€™s Revenge Authorities investigating a motorcycle accident that killed Joseph M. Maglori, 35, of Piscataway, New Jersey, concluded that the cause was a low-flying turkey buzzard. Witnesses said that after the 10- to 15-pound bird slammed into Magloriâ€™s helmet, the motorcycle crossed the yellow line while Maglori tried to fight off the bird and struck a car that had stopped after the driver saw Maglori struggling with the buzzard. â€˘ California authorities concluded that a wildfire that charred 5710 acres and prompted the evacuation of 1600 homes near Santa Clarita was caused by a redtailed hawk. Fire investigators said that the bird apparently was electrocuted by power lines and fell to the ground, igniting brush that had not burned since 1962.

Their hair must be conservative, and men arenâ€™t permitted to have beards. Both men and women are required to wear leather dress shoes. â€œThere have been many instances where air marshals have been picked out by travelers. People give them the thumbs-up and thank them,â€? said John D.

ell, blow me down! “Twenty lashes with a wet noodle!” as the late Ann Landers used to say. It seems that the story I told in my last column about that poor woman in Arkansas, Georgann Williams, who supposedly died on a highway by jumping through the roof of her car in the belief that she’d seen Jesus and was headed for the Rapture, is an “urban legend.” That means it’s false, phony, fake and — pertinently, in the circumstances — “apocryphal,” like the Book of Revelation, a work that Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, once described as “the ravings of a lunatic.” But don’t take my word for it. That great debunking website, “The Urban Legends Reference Pages” (www.snopes. com), has a whole one devoted to the putative Ms. Williams and her nonexistent leap to Heaven. “This inventive work of fiction was penned and released onto the Internet on 2 August 2001,” says the site’s co-founder,

There must be some tortured logic behind the Lord’s failure to assist the Aborigines, since he talks to George W. Bush every day of the week. Barbara Mikkelson. “It was written by Elroy Willis, proprietor of ‘Religion in the News,’ a site that warns visitors what they’re in for: ‘Some of these stories are really true. See if you can figure out which ones they are.’” Now, that’s a challenge. I mean, it’s a real challenge, more exciting than the Olympics, even, inasmuch as the 24/7 “news” cycle has us all spinning in circles, all of the time. As I write this, I’ve just heard about the death of John Passmore, the Australian founder of “applied philosophy.” As a young boy, he asked a nun at his Catholic school why all of humanity had to suffer through eternity just because Adam and Eve were a couple of dopes. “He was surprised when [the] nun told him that he need not take the story literally,” according to Passmore’s obituary in London’s Daily Telegraph. Sister Mary Wisecrack plainly didn’t live anywhere near the Vatican or, for that matter, huge portions of the United States. And even then her words couldn’t quash Passmore’s lifelong concern: “Why,” he wondered, “if salvation could come only through the Church, did God wait nearly 2000 years before allowing the Australian Aborigines to hear about Christianity?” Hmm. Sounds like a question for Thomas Aquinas. There must be some tortured logic behind the Lord’s failure to assist the Aborigines, since he talks to George W. Bush every day of the week, except Sundays, of course, when both of them are resting. It’s true! You probably missed the following story, and you can judge for yourselves whether it’s “real,” “fake,” “apocryphal” or whatever. But I swear to God,

borrowing a phrase, I read it in The Scribbler of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, helpfully posted online for those of us who don’t get down to Amish country very often. Evidently Dubya was there recently on one of his “Ask the President” tours: LANCASTER COUNTY, PA (AP) President Bush met privately with a group of Old Order Amish during his visit to Lancaster County last Friday. He discussed their farms and their hats and his religion. He asked them to vote for him in November. The Amish told the president that not all members of the church vote but they would pray for him. That should be enough for one president, don’t you think — especially as there was nothing “private” about Ding-Dong’s foray into the world of wimples and wooden shoes? But no. The story continues: Sam Stoltzfus, an Old Order historian and writer who lives in Gordonville, spoke with a number of people present at the session with the president … An Amish woman … that morning had presented a quilt to the president with a card thanking him for his leadership of the country. Bush said he would like to talk to the quilter and her family. So the Secret Service invited the family to meet the president. Friends wanted to come along, and the entire assembly eventually numbered about 60 … Stoltzfus reports: “It took a while to get them through the metal detectors as these were farmers and shop men, with vice grips, pocket knives, and nuts and bolts in their pockets. Some ladies had baby gear. All pockets had to be emptied.” Once the Amish were “found not to be a serious threat to national security,” they were allowed in and waited about 30 minutes for the president to appear … Bush said he had never met any Amish before and was curious about why the men were wearing straw hats rather than black wool hats. The Amish explained that they wear cooler straw in summer. Bush tried on a hat. “One of the young girls wanted to give [him] a whoopie pie cookie,” Stoltzfus says. “Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren’t supposed to eat untested food.” At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.” Whether the Amish fell over dead or not, hearing these words, Stoltzfus neglected to say. I ask you, in any case: Wouldn’t you like to give the president a whoopie pie cookie? I sure would — right between his beady little eyes. My guess is, the Amish don’t know a lot about the First Amendment, or that most people who go around saying, “God speaks through me,” are locked away in mental wards, where they belong. “Listen,” says Bush in his inimitable syntax. “It’s hard to be a faith-based program if you can’t practice faith. And the message to you is, we’re changing the culture here in America.’” We certainly are — one whoopie pie at a time. 쩾 Email Peter at peterkurth@peterkurth.com

Many wild animals in fairs & circuses spend their lives in tiny cages or chained in trailers. These animals are often trained with whips, bats, bullhooks & electric prods — all perfectly legal under federal law. Many have their teeth or claws surgically removed. Children learn the wrong lesson from watching these creatures who have been beaten into submission. Animals that are too old or sick to perform may be slaughtered at game farms or canned hunts. Say NO to cruelty. Boycott wild animal shows at the Champlain Valley Fair. Ask your town to ban circuses with wild animal acts. Tax deductible donations may be sent to:

For that alone, Mermin deserves a medal. Instead, he got two â€” in one week. The first â€” an â€œIt Takes a Villageâ€? award â€” was presented during the Lund Family Centerâ€™s Festival of Fatherhood. The second came from the Vermont Arts Council. After the Montpelier show, director Alex Aldrich stepped right up with a citation of merit for Merminâ€™s â€œdistinguished service to the arts in Vermont.â€? No check, though. Over its long, successful history, Circus Smirkus has received $70,000 from the arts council. Thatâ€™s peanuts, folks. Good thing Mermin excels in risk-taking. His latest feat was launching an alumni troupe that performed this summer at San Antonioâ€™s Sea World. Now thereâ€™s one more reason to join Merminâ€™s circus: a chance to go pro.

+LJKHU 6FRUH *XDUDQWHHG loss nation Outdoor concerts werenâ€™t the only wash-outs this soggy summer. Attendance at Montpelierâ€™s Lost Nation Theater dropped by about half, precipitating a panicked plea from co-producing artistic director Kim Bent. Mailings begged patrons of the 16-year-old company not only to come see a show, but send in donations to help stem a â€œserious cash-flow crisis.â€? When the call was picked up by the Times Argus and broadcast on WDEV, WORK and VPR, fans answered to the tune of $20,000 in contributions, and filled the house for the two final weekends of You Canâ€™t Take It With You. â€œItâ€™s been so rejuvenating and heart-warming,â€? says Bentâ€™s partner, Kathleen Keenan. But it ainâ€™t over â€™til the fat lady sings â€” or the witches work their magic. If Septemberâ€™s production of Macbeth conjures up sufficient sales, Keenan suggests, the company will only need to raise another $15K in private contributions. What was behind all those empty seats? â€œEverything,â€? Keenan surmises. â€œThe accumulation of bad news, whether it be economic or at the gas pumps or because of the war or no one could get their gardens in because of the rain.â€? Not to mention the Fahrenheit factor. While tickets to LNTâ€™s The World Goes â€™Round: The Songs of Kander and Ebb went begging, Michael Mooreâ€™s Bush-bashing blockbluster was enjoying an unprecedented six-week run at Rick Winstonâ€™s Savoy Theater just across the street. â€œWe went to the line and offered coupons to people who were being turned away from the shows at the Savoy,â€? Keenan reports. Lost Nationâ€™s not the only company feeling the pinch. Alarmed by dwindling audiences at all Vermont stages, this summer Theatre on a Shoestring did its part to boost attendance by raffling off a MontrĂŠal weekend. According to the TOAS website, the winning ticket stub belonged to New Hampshire resident Roger Brickner, one of the few loyal folks who turned out for the first week of LNTâ€™s The World Goes â€™Round. What goes around comes around.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, What’s the deal with not taking a shower, using the phone or standing too close to the TV during a thunderstorm? If people were electrocuted by lightning in their homes on anything like a regular basis, surely we would hear about it more often than we do. Is this just one of those stories our parents tell us over the years so now I can terrify my own son? Jim L., Windsor, New York A skeptic, are we? You probably thought those warnings about waiting an hour after eating before swimming were silly, too. Well, they were. Lightning, unfortunately, is a different story. A few cautionary tales from the medical journals: • In an incident reported in 1985, two Danish women, neighbors living several hundred meters apart, were talking on the phone during a thunderstorm when lightning struck an electric wire, shorted across to an underground telephone cable, and blasted through their handsets. Both were thrown to the floor, each with an eardrum ruptured due to the extremely loud noise, estimated to be at least 155 dB. In addition, both had star-shaped burns on their necks and shoulders, presumably where the juice had entered their bodies. The women recovered their hearing after surgery. • An Australian man was talking on the phone while sitting on a kitchen stool with his right leg touching the dishwasher. Lightning struck the phone line somewhere upstream, traveled through the line, fried the phone, and slammed the guy into a wall. He was knocked out for a few seconds and for a minute couldn’t breathe or speak. Branching red, fernlike marks on his skin, known as Lichtenberg figures — the traces of the skittering current — extended down his neck, across his torso and down his right thigh to the point where what was left of the bolt entered the dishwasher. His body hair was singed and his right leg was paralyzed. He recovered fairly quickly, but

three months later still had mild hearing loss. • In 1962 a Danish man was on the phone when lightning struck nearby. He heard a sharp crack and was partially deafened. Nineteen years later he was completely deaf in one ear and dizzy besides. A scan of his head showed a large, calcified, noncancerous tumor inside his skull near his ear, presumably the result of bleeding following trauma to the inner ear. Lightning causes way less damage to houses and the people in them than it used to because most buildings and utilities now are well grounded. Research by Ron Holle, a meteorologist formerly with the National Severe Storms Laboratory, suggests that out of a typical 75 U.S. lightning fatalities per year, one person on average is killed while using the phone, another two or three die due to lightning conducted through pipes, wiring, etc., and one or two are killed by lightning-caused house fires. It’s estimated that 10 people are injured by lightning for every one killed. Considering there are 25 million cloudto-ground lightning flashes in the U.S. annually, that’s not many. In contrast, in the early 1980s, 60 to 80 Australians were injured by lightning each year while on the phone, a rate roughly 45 times higher than the comparable rate in the U.S. At the time Australian phones weren’t connected to the house electrical ground. Now they are. Effective as grounding is, if lightning strikes close enough, the fearsome current involved — anywhere from 10,000 to 200,000 amperes —can defeat even the most reliable protection measures. That means parental advice about staying off the phone, out of the shower and so on during lightning storms is still worth heeding. Even a relatively small jolt can fry delicate electronic equipment. According to Holle, the U.S. insurance industry pays 300,000 claims annually for lightningcaused home damage — a large fraction of which involve electronics. Cheap surge protectors don’t offer much security; if you can’t afford the $50 kind and your computer contains critical data, unplug it before (not during) an electrical storm. There’s nothing like lightning to convince you of the fundamentally random nature of the universe. In a case reported in 2003, a man was fussing with wood in the fireplace of a Belgian farmhouse during a thunderstorm while his 5-year-old daughter played at a nearby table. A glob of ball lightning — a rare, poorly understood phenomenon that behaves like a mixture of electricity and fire — emerged from the fireplace and shoved the man back three meters, burning him and knocking him unconscious. According to his wife, an eyewitness, the ball lightning then made a 90-degree turn and drifted over to the little girl, burning 30 percent of her body; glided underneath the table, through the kitchen and into another room; and finally exited through the open back door and vanished in the garden. The scientific mind at such times does not try to think up precautionary measures. Rather it says: Yipes. CECIL ADAMS

AN ENTREE TO VERMONT FOOD

Galley, Ho!

I IMAGE Andy Duback The Lois McClure tour is underway. For the next two months, she’ll be visiting port towns around Lake Champlain. Visitors can board and tour the boat on Thursday and Friday in Westport, New York. Over the weekend, she’ll be at the Vergennes town dock.

t’s a good thing Patti Luchetti stands 5 feet tall and weighs about as much as a sack of potatoes. Her small stature — and belly-dancing skills — will make it easier to get around the galley when she spends the next seven weeks cooking aboard The Lois McClure. Luchetti is feeding the crew on the replica sailing canal boat during its multi-stop maiden voyage around Lake Champlain. Authenticity has guided the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s nautical reconstruction, from the rigging of its 50-foot mast to the marble blocks in the hold. That period focus is evident, too, in the cozy kitchen and adjoining “bedroom” at the stern of the boat — if you overlook the 21st-century fire extinguisher and the Coast Guard-approved electric lantern. The 9-foot-square space is dominated by a 100-year-old castiron woodstove on which Luchetti is contracted to prepare three meals a day. The crew won’t be dining on pasta or stirfry. Cuisine is as much a part of The Lois McClure recreation as carpentry and costumes. The trip menu aims to recall foods that sustained canal-boat families as they plied aquatic trade routes between New York and the Canadian cities of Montréal, Québec City and Ottawa. “Traditional New England fare: We’re going to eat a lot of potatoes and corn, blueberries and cheese — and probably pork and beef,” says Luchetti, a Maine resident who has cooked on historic and contemporary charters. “Lots of stews, corn chowder. I’m interested in finding out what kind of fish was used.” That’s not as easy as you’d think. But researchers have found answers in the personal writings of several prolific canalers. Captain Theodore Bartley didn’t detail what kind of fish he reeled in, but his canal-boat journals, published in book form by the Maritime Museum earlier this year, are full of culinary clues. During the course of his 28-year career on the water, Bartley kept meticulous shopping lists, several years of which are now preserved at the Ticonderoga Historical Society. References to meat, meat steaks, ham, soup bone and dried beef indicate the popular protein sources of the day. Also cod fish, sausage and cheese. Flour, butter, molasses, eggs, bread, potatoes and lard were all shipside staples. “Plain and course but not unwholesome” is how writer Clifton Johnson described the food on his canalboat journey in an 1898 article for The Outlook magazine. He was one of a number of journalists, writers and illustrators who produced travel narratives about the unique bohemian lifestyle for publications such as Harper’s. “We had beans, meat, potato, bread and butter, crackers, and tea,” Johnson wrote. He also remarked on the canal-boat people’s manners, noting they were “inclined to neglect their forks as conveyances for food, and each reached his own knife to the butter plate from time to time.” The Bartleys indulged in pickles — or “pickeles,” as the captain spelled it — and spiced things up with “nut-

megs,” cinnamon, vinegar, citron preserve and pepper sauce. Unlike ocean-going seamen, who had limited access to edibles, the canal boaters were always close to land. They came into contact with exotic items — oranges, lemons and coconuts — around New York, and, in their limited way, facilitated globalization. Raw materials went south. Manufactured goods went north. Food flowed in both directions. “There were probably in the neighborhood of 30 grocers along the Champlain Canal” concentrated around locks and turning basins, according to Scott McLaughlin, the Maritime Museum’s resident expert on canal-boat life and culture. An illustration of the Boatmen’s Café in Whitehall suggests a larger range of services were available to the 4000 boats that “home-

PATTI LUCHETTI ported” on Lake Champlain between 1819 and 1940. In the southern Hudson River and Erie Canal portions of the waterway, “bumboats” catered to canalers by offering ice, food, equipment and, yup, cold beer. Families fashioned freezers on deck using wooden boxes packed with sawdust. That allowed them to carry milk — which was not pasteurized — and butter. McLaughlin explains, “If someone had a lot of ice, and there was cream, they’d sit down and make ice cream. Food is one of the things that’s easiest to share.” The bumboats did not venture as far north as the Champlain Canal, where farmers came to the water’s edge to sell their produce to floating customers. “In many cases, the boat wouldn’t actually stop. The farmer would follow along,” McLaughlin says. “They’d throw a sack, he’d fill it, then the boaters would throw him the money stuffed in a potato, and he’d throw the sack back.” In June 1864, strawberries crop up in the Bartley journals. Three weeks later, they’re buying 13 quarts of raspberries — probably for pies. With the exception of tomatoes and peaches, however, McLaughlin claims there wasn’t much canning on board. And he’s not just speculating. An experienced diver with a Master’s in underwater anthropology, he’s had a look at the dirty dishes. “We found grape seeds aboard a Sloop Island canal boat which probably sank in 1918. They were probably picked in early fall,” McLaughlin deduces. “We also found pantry canning jars packed full of fish bones. That was probably pickled fish.” Two charcoal briquettes discovered in the toolbox of the same sunken vessel led him to believe the boaters started barbecuing on deck in the early 20th century. That fact, he adds, “helped us date the boat.” The journal of 27-year-old Lucy Brown, who worked on the water with her father out of Whitehall, provides more human insight. Hers is a vivid account of how the boaters — particularly the women — actually spent their days. Where Bartley rarely referenced his wife or children, Brown details not just the weather, but the backbreaking daily chores and social isolation of canalboat life.

Her December 25, 1871, entry reads: “Merry Christmas. Though not so very merry to me, have been in the cabin all day. And it has been a splendid day. Baked bread, biscuits & pies. Then roasted turkey for dinner. Had a good Christmas dinner as could be asked for. After the work was done finished a piece of sewing. That is a sign this weeks work will amount to something.” The familial aspect of these boats set them apart from other male-crewed transport vessels — and put women in the hot seat, by the ever-cranking stove. It was the means by which “you heated all of your water for bathing, for doing laundry, for heating up the pitch to caulk seams, to get the dampness out of the cabin,” McLaughlin explains. “If we are going to have a woman present” on The Lois McClure, he reasons, “she has to be engaged in working the stove.” Does Patti Luchetti know what she’s in for? “I don’t think so,” he says with a laugh. Luchetti expects to be more liberated than Lucy Brown, who died in 1896 at 52. She’s already talking about serving occasional cold meals — “I’m inclined to bring out a hearty bread, sardines and mustard, and call it lunch” — and requested a pressure cooker to supplement the cast-iron collection of pots and pans. There are still details to work out, such as how to safely shepherd visitors through the galley when the stove is stoked. Generally speaking, Luchetti will either be cooking or telling true stories from the era, some of which are cautionary. A grislier one involves an accident with a kerosene lamp in which two children perished. The more contemporary lesson is about appropriate technology, she says, and conserving resources. A promoter of local, in-season eating, Luchetti hopes her concoctions will get people to think about where their food comes from. The smells and tastes she creates on board will help the crew stay in character and the visitors suspend disbelief — nothing ruins the illusion of 19th-century maritime life like a Doritos bag on deck or empty Coke cans rolling around in the hold. Luchetti hopes the simpler life, and menu, has a positive effect on her fellow mates. She’s got one timeless truth working for her: “Everything tastes great on a boat.”

Thatâ€™s because Gov. Scissorhands knows heâ€™ll need Democrat votes to make it to a second term. Lots of them. Last weekâ€™s attempt to show Democrat support with a fundraiser at former Democratic House Speaker Tim Oâ€™Connorâ€™s Brattleboro hacienda, however, fell flat. Press reports uniformly highlighted the dearth of Democrats in attendance. But behind the scenes, Jim Douglasâ€™ ties to Bush and the GOP are as strong as ever. As was the case two years ago, the Douglas Campaign has hired on the services of two nationally recognized Republican Party campaign firms that each boast of their work for Douglas on their websites. Public Opinion Strategies, based in Alexandria, Virginia, is the biggest and best GOP polling/ strategy firm in the game. On its website, www.pos.org, POS boasts that itâ€™s â€œthe largest Republican Polling firm in the country.â€? Its clients include Sen. Bill Frist and Rep. Tom DeLay, the GOP congressional leaders. Among the victories it boasts of in 2002 are those of Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and Gov. Jim Douglas of Vermont. Arena Communication in Salt Lake City, Utah, will once again handle Gov. Scissorhandsâ€™ print advertising and direct mail, or what some call the â€œmidnight mailâ€? that arrives in the final days of the campaign, smearing the opponent and firing up the base for a big turnout. On its website, www.winning mail.com, Arena Communications highlights as a â€œQuality Sampleâ€? the â€œHard-hitting Mailâ€? it produced and distributed on Jim Douglasâ€™ behalf in 2002. The sample portrays Democrat Doug Racine as a frantic tax-raiser whoâ€™ll pick your pockets empty. It also describes Racine as the â€œchief architect of Act 60.â€? That should come as news to the actual architects of Act 60. Donâ€™t be surprised if this yearâ€™s â€œmidnight mailâ€? from Utah portrays Peter Clavelle as the taxhiking â€œarchitect of Act 60â€? who will steal your underwear. Arenaâ€™s corporate slogan is â€œBy Republicans, For Republicans.â€? On its list of â€œWinning Clients,â€? Arena puts â€œBush-Cheney 2000â€? at the top of the list. â€œDouglas for Governorâ€? was right below it in the second spot. The Bernie Factor â€” Vermontâ€™s current seven-term Independent congressman is once gain facing less-than-credible competition. Bernie Sanders has the job as long as he wants it. But many think Olâ€™ Bernardo could help someone else get elected this time, too, i.e., his successor as mayor of Burlington and the current Democratic candidate for governor, Peter Clavelle. It is, after all, Clavelleâ€™s first statewide dance, while Bernieâ€™s been around the floor more than a dozen times. In 2002, Sanders received 41,000 votes more in his race than Jim Douglas got running for governor. With a high presidential election turnout this November, Sanders will likely receive more than 200,000 of the anticipated

300,000 votes cast in Vermont. Douglas will need to convince about 50,000 Bernie supporters that heâ€™s a better choice for governor than Peter Clavelle. Sanders has already stepped up in supporting the Democratic presidential candidate. And heâ€™s reached out to three Vermont Ds â€” Auditor Elizabeth Ready, Lite-Gov candidate Cheryl Rivers and Clavelle â€” inviting them to join him at his scheduled issue forums around the state. But will Bernie do a little more, like radio/TV spots for Clavelle? â€œThatâ€™s something that Peter and I have to work out,â€? Sanders told Seven Days this week. The pair have quite a track record. Mayor Sanders recruited Clavelle to be his personnel director in 1983. In 1985, Pedro headed up the brand-new Community and Economic Development Office. â€œI know Peterâ€™s record when he worked with me in Burlington,â€? said Bernie. â€œAs anyone who travels knows, Burlington is one of the most dynamic, exciting, economically vital small cities in the United States of America,â€? said the frequent-flyer congressman. â€œThat did not happen by accident. Iâ€™m proud of the work we did, but Peter has been there for 14 years doing a great job. Peterâ€™s expertise, experience and vision could do a lot for the state of Vermont.â€? Sounds like a pretty strong endorsement, eh? But Bernie also realizes, veteran political genius that he is, that unseating one-term Republican Gov. Jim Douglas wonâ€™t be easy. â€œRunning against an incumbent is tough,â€? said Rep. Sanders. â€œJim Douglas is a very hard worker. Heâ€™s all over the state. But the bottom line is, yeah, I do think Peter can win.â€? Interesting. Out of Gas? â€” Next weekâ€™s Republican National Convention in the Big Apple will be a bit of a swan song for Vermontâ€™s Republican National Committeeman Skip Vallee. The millionaire owner of the Maplefields minimart chain will be â€œtaking a breather,â€? as he puts it, from politics. Gasoline Vallee has also been a propitious fundraiser for George W. Bush, earning the prestigious title of â€œBush Rangerâ€? for exceeding the $200,000 level. Mr. Vallee told Seven Days he does not think President Bushâ€™s unpopularity in Vermont will in any way derail the reelection train of Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. Of course. What would you expect him to say? Boettcherâ€™s Cruise â€” Surely you saw the Freeps story on former Fletcher Allen Health Care boss Bill Boettcherâ€™s â€œworld-class performance yachtâ€? appearing in a sailing magazine? Unfortunately, they didnâ€™t run a photo. Vermontâ€™s distinguished homeless blogger, Morgan Brown, quickly came to the rescue. As Brown puts it, â€œBill Boettcher got $750,000 and all I got was this lousy blog.â€? You can check out the Kittawake, Captain Billyâ€™s 50-foot yacht, at http:// norsehorses-turf.blogspot.com.

SEVEN DAYS Brownâ€™s monetary reference is to the farewell â€œgiftâ€? Mary Fannyâ€™s trustees gave Big Bill two summers ago to get out of Dodge: a $750,000 retirement package. This week, the buzz around town is that federal law-enforcement officials are about to drop the hammer on Boettcher. Over at the U.S. Attorneyâ€™s office, Paul Van de Graaf, chief of the criminal division, would only tell us, â€œWeâ€™re still investigating.â€? Pretty lengthy investigation, eh? The 9/ll Commission didnâ€™t take this long. Some suggest the feds have to nail Sailboat Bill on something in order to save face and justify all the time and taxpayer money put into their investigation. â€œWeâ€™re still investigatingâ€? probably means intense negotiations are underway behind closed doors between the U.S. Attorney and Boettcherâ€™s attorney regarding plea agreements and such. Right now, itâ€™s the government that needs to save face. Boettcher, after all, lost his years ago. Captain Billyâ€™s attorney, Jerry Oâ€™Neill, a former federal prosecutor turned trial lawyer, declined to discuss any possible negotiations. However, Oâ€™Neill tells Seven Days he continues to be in regular weekly contact with his salty client. They talked by phone, even by satellite phone, when Bill took the Kittawake north to Alaskan waters for a couple months. Boettcher, noted Oâ€™Neill, actually lives on his sailing yacht. He doesnâ€™t have a mansion somewhere or an address on land. â€œHeâ€™s been at sea,â€? said Oâ€™Neill. â€œThatâ€™s his home.â€? If the buzz is correct, Captain Billy better start charting a new course from the northern Pacific to Lake Champlain. If anyone can find the damn Northwest Passage, betcha Boettcher can! P.S.

Thatâ€™s just the way it is.â€? Bernieâ€™s wife, media consultant and Burlington College President Jane Sanders, was equally ecstatic. â€œHeâ€™s very alert,â€? said Grandma Jane of the recent arrival. â€œCarina told me heâ€™s very smart.â€? Carina ought to know. Sheâ€™s pretty smart herself, having served in the Vermont Legislature and on the Burlington City Council while in her twenties.

ast week at my house, we embarked on a mini-Manchurian Candidate campaign. First we rented the original 1962 version starring Laurence Harvey and Frank Sinatra. In a strange casting move, Puerto Rican actor Henry Silva embodies the Asian Menace; Janet Leigh is either deranged or extraordinarily horny; and Angela Lansbury, who is just a year older than Harvey, plays his evil, controlling mother with exacting incestuous skill. It’s a gas. Then off we went to the cinema to see the new version with Denzel Washington finally exerting a bit of get-upand-go, and all of the odd plot lines left dangling in the original nicely tied up. It’s been a marvelous exercise in paranoia, this mini-Manchurian fest, and perfectly timed for the upcoming Republican National Convention, which takes over Manhattan next week — just in time to rip off the tragedies of 9/11. Dutifully, I trudged over to the RNC’s website to see what the ruling class has in store for September. No fool, I waited to make the perilous voyage when I was at work, fully equipped with a shiny OSX.2 operating system on a fully loaded Mac,

Republican National Convention: www.rnc.com and www.gop.com 2004 Republican National Convention: www.2004nycgop.org Bush for President: www.georgewbush.com Kerry on Iraq: www.kerryoniraq.com Dems Extreme Makeovers: demsextrememakeover.com Counter Convention: www.counterconvention.org The RNC Are Not Welcome in NYC: www.rncnotwelcome.org RNC Watch: rncwatch.typepad.com Indymedia NYC: www.nyc.indymedia.org Save Our Civil Liberties: www.saveourcivilliberties.org rather than the pokey old dial-up, tincan-and-string system I use at home. Simply said: I surfed, I dove, I waited. Perhaps built in someone’s garage on an ancient PC, the RNC’s site loads like grandma’s first washer and initially affronts with a resistant pop-up window. There lies a note from RNC Chairman

and profile. Reagan truly appears livelier. (To be fair, the president’s own campaign website is a prettier, smarter matter and his picture is actually visible — below the amber waves of grain and purple mountains majesty, but still near the top.) Links from the RNC site are an amazing, constant paean to . . . John

The Republican National Convention’s website loads like grandma’s first washer. Ed Gillespie directing concerned citizens to voice their outrage through the rational vehicle of talk radio. After successfully squelching Ed, I was confronted with a familiar face: John Kerry’s. The senator from Massachusetts is featured not once, but twice, at the very top of rnc.com. George is nowhere to be seen. Ah, there he is. At the bottom of the page, next to a large, four-color photo of the late Gipper, is a gray-scale image of Dubya in Stetson

Kerry. He appears at the top of the “Kerry on Iraq” website, unintentionally shilling a faux-doc that portrays him as a “flip-flop liberal out of touch with America.” The footage benefits greatly from the kind of “fair and balanced” reportage that the Fox News Channel specializes in. Similarly, you can’t be a card-carrying Republican without running into John Kerry. There he is, heading the

page at Dems Extreme Makeover — a fabulous site if you want to relive each excruciating detail of the Democratic National Convention and the many, so many, lies it disseminated. But wait! There’s another familiar face: Michael Moore, about whom this website claims, “Organizations linked to Hezbollah offered to help distribute Michael Moore’s film in the Middle East!” Mr. Moore, cine-terrorist. What all of the above sites share with their brethren at the RNC are prehistoric design and technology elements intended to serve those unfortunates who signed up for WebTV back in the last century. In no way do they demonstrate that any of the organizers is in “touch with America.” Even a hint of hip might offset the rhetoric, the hatefulness, the implants-stored-in-fakewar-hero’s-brains. But alas. Which is why it’s so groovy to get back to those sites organizing to protest the RNC. Flip over to Counter Convention, for example, and a light trip-hop begins to play as the pages smoothly load, utilizing gorgeous, clean graphics with John Kerry’s face taking a deserved rest from reproduction. Planning to attend? This site offers housing links, organizational tools, tips, insights and a community network of people. Rather than being pro-Kerry, Counter Convention focuses on the disenfranchised and middle-class folks so poorly served under the current administration. And did I mention the trip-hop and clean graphics? I found myself truly grateful. The RNC Are Not Welcome in NYC is nothing if not direct. So is its mandate: “In a shallow attempt at exploiting the lives lost at the World

Dressing up is so much fun...

Trade Center, the RNC has pushed the convention date to September. We have witnessed two unjust wars, at least one American life lost each day overseas, a depressed economy, the collapse of the dollar, $87 billion to boost war profiteering, the closing of our firehouses, a health-care crisis, millions of children being left behind, and now this. We say, enough!” That’s certainly clear. Meanwhile, RNC Watch keeps a disdainful blogger’s eye on the upcoming proceedings, offering good links and fresh news. Indymedia, an international self-posting media outlet that offers free reportage from untrained but eager souls, has a Manhattan outpost. You can almost hear the chortles in reports about Mayor Bloomberg’s offer of discount shopping to “well-behaved” activists. But merely wearing a baby blue pin proclaiming yourself to be a “peaceful protester” isn’t enough to get discounted tickets to Broadway shows and free entry to the Museum of Sex. One must also, Bloomberg cautions, behave that way. And perhaps the FBI could determine that for you. According to Save Our Civil Liberties and, oh, The New York Times, the Bureau has been extrabusy recently interviewing suspected protesters. The good agents have reportedly been knocking on college students’ doors and stopping dread-locked youth in a manner definitely not harassing — no, no — but in the service of truth, justice and the American way. I’d be amazed, I’d be sobered, I’d be righteous . . . if I hadn’t lived through the Nixon administration and indulged in mini-Manchurian. 쩾 Webfeat is going to vote and vote and vote again.

Class Conscious CCV’s adjunct faculty are thinking union

C STORY

KEN PICARD IMAGE

ANDY DUBACK

atherine O’Callaghan doesn’t fit the usual profile of a union organizer. A full-time mother and part-time comparative religions instructor at the Community College of Vermont, she’s more accustomed to talking Celtic folklore than collective bargaining. In fact, until last winter, she’d never been involved in a union or led a political cause. But in the last eight months, O’Callaghan has been helping to organize 500 or so faculty members at CCV, Vermont’s only state college that doesn’t have a collective-bargaining unit. As union drives go, this one is unique because CCV is the only community college in the nation staffed entirely by adjunct, or part-time, professors. Approximately two-thirds of CCV instructors teach just one course per semester while working other jobs or, like O’Callaghan, handling family responsibilities. And although CCV courses are taught at 12 different sites around the state as well as online, technically speaking there is no “workplace” to organize. Instructors come in just once or twice a week, teach one to three classes, and then leave. And therein lies a prime motivator for forming the union. “The nature of part-time teaching is very isolating,” O’Callaghan explains during a recent phone interview from her home in Brattleboro. “You tend not to know anybody else because all you do is go in and teach your class… A culture of collegiality or community of scholars is not promoted.” First accredited in 1975, CCV was initially set up as a way for nontraditional students — adults who’ve been out of school for years, low-income folks, laid-off workers and so on — to earn a college education, change careers or acquire new workplace skills. Since then, however, CCV has grown into one of the largest institutions of higher learning in Vermont, each year serving more than 5000 traditional and nontraditional students. CCV recently signed agreements that allow its students to transfer their course credits to other colleges around the state, including the University of Vermont, and count them towards a four-year degree. In the classroom, the difference between an adjunct and a tenure-track professor can be all but imperceptible. Tenured and other full-time professors usually have Ph.D.s or some other terminal degree, while adjuncts are usually required to have just a Master’s degree. Even so, some adjuncts have at least as much teaching experience as their full-time or tenured colleagues. From the instructor’s point of view, the biggest differences between adjuncts and fulltime faculty — besides their professional creden-

tials — are in their job security and compensation: wages, health benefits, retirement packages and so forth. Full-time faculty have the added responsibilities of acting as student advisors, serving on institutional committees and publishing regularly in professional journals. When the adjunct faculties at other state colleges were unionized back in the early 1990s — UVM’s nearly 200 adjunct professors unionized last year — CCV professors were excluded from the process by the state laborrelations board. This has led to dissatisfaction among some CCV instructors, who say that many of their professional concerns around job security, employee benefits and academic decision-making aren’t being adequately addressed. “Everybody who’s involved in this [union] loves CCV and loves our student population,” O’Callaghan emphasizes. “But we’ve found that the basics of how to treat instructors aren’t really in place at the college.”

O’Callaghan started CCV’s union drive last winter by calling other instructors to gauge their interest. The grievances she heard most often involved what she describes as “issues of professional respect.” For example, CCV profs are not paid for keeping office hours, even though many do so. In fact, CCV teachers don’t even have offices — O’Callaghan says she usually talks to her students after class in a hall or nearby café. Likewise, CCV instructors aren’t compensated for preparing for classes that are later canceled due to low enrollment. “We prepare a class, order the books, do all the prep work, create a syllabus and block out that time in our lives,” O’Callaghan explains, “and then you may not get that class at the last minute.” Some adjuncts have even complained about not being notified about cancellations until the day before classes were scheduled to begin. Another concern is their lack of benefits and job security. Although many CCV professors work at other jobs and teach for the love of it or to supplement their incomes, community college earnings are the sole income for a growing number of instructors. But CCV offers no tenure or seniority based on teaching experience. Hired on a semester-by-semester basis, CCV instructors can teach the same class for a decade and then not be asked back, with no explanation, O’Callaghan says. Heather Luden’s entire income comes from teaching at CCV. For the last six years, the Brattleboro English instructor has been teaching three classes each semester, plus a writing lab. At most colleges, her course load would be considered a full-time job. But Luden receives

SEVEN DAYS no benefits and gets her health insurance through the Vermont Health Access Plan, just like lowincome Vermonters. Luden worked for years as an adjunct at the Community College of Philadelphia, which is unionized, and at Wake Tech Community College in North Carolina, which is not. “Here, it feels more like a business model than it ever did before,” she says. “And for a community college, I’ve never worked in a place that has so little to do with the community.” O’Callaghan has taught at St. Lawrence University, and at Western Maryland and Gettysburg colleges. She says it’s unusual for professors not to be more involved in decisions that are fundamental to their students’ education experience, such as determining course objectives, curricula and class size. One subject that hasn’t become a hot-button issue yet is pay — perhaps because CCV recently made a concerted effort to increase faculty compensation, says CCV President Tim Donovan. The college has upped the flat rate it pays for teaching a threecredit course from $1461 in the fall of 1999 to $2475 this fall — an increase of nearly 70 percent over five years. Donovan explains that this increase was an effort to achieve pari-

“This is a college that serves a lot of people and keeps it affordable and close by to a lot of people around the state,” he says. “And that will remain our goal, regardless of how we’re organized.”

Others are less convinced that CCV has found that healthy balance. Roy Vestrich is president of the United Professions of Vermont/ American Federation of Teachers, the Burlington-based union that CCV faculty first approached about a year ago. A full-time professor at Castleton State College, Vestrich says CCV faculty are grossly underpaid compared to their counterparts at other state institutions. Assistant professors at other state colleges now start at about $30,000 per year, not including the value of their benefits package, Vestrich points out; a full professor starts in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. However, a CCV professor with comparable classroom experience who teaches three courses per semester earns just $15,000 a year and gets no benefits, retirement or job security. “This is a way to do education on the cheap,” Vestrich says. “That sounds good when you’re a lawmaker trying to balance the state col-

ty with other Vermont professors’ earnings. “I don’t know exactly what everyone else in the state pays,” he admits. “I suspect this is less than UVM, but I know it’s more than some of the private colleges.” In fact, adjuncts are paid quite a bit more at some local colleges. An adjunct starting at St. Michael’s College in Colchester this fall will earn $1025 per credit hour, or $3075 for a standard three-credit class. An adjunct who has worked 19 or more semesters at St. Mike’s can earn $1225 per credit hour, or $3675 for a three-credit course. But making direct comparisons between adjuncts’ pay is tricky, because part-time professors at schools such as UVM can receive vastly different pay depending upon their credentials, experience and the department in which they teach. Donovan notes that CCV tries to balance offering a fair wage with keeping the school affordable. “We’re all striving in this state to pay as livable a wage as we can,” he says. Tuition at CCV is roughly half that at other state colleges. Donovan first learned of the union drive in April. When five CCV instructors sent a letter to their fellow CCV professors inquiring about their interest in joining a union, the school’s administration sent faculty a seven-page mailing explaining their rights and responsibilities under the law. Since then, Donovan has heard nothing more on the union effort, he says — nor has CCV’s administration staked out a formal position. Donovan won’t speculate about what effect the drive might have on tuition.

leges’ budget, but… there are other ways of making education accessible and affordable without creating a system that depends on the exploitation of the faculty.” Vestrich sees what’s happening at CCV as a reflection of a larger trend in higher education: “the de-professionalization of the professorate.” Nationally, the number of tenure-track positions at institutions of higher learning has been in sharp decline. According to figures from the American Association of University Professors, both the percentage and absolute numbers of full-time, tenure-track faculty fell from 30.5 percent in 1998 to 25 percent in 2001. During that same period, the number of full-time, non-tenure-track faculty positions increased by 35.5 percent. With the lack of good salaries, benefits or an institutional voice comes another condition: reluctance to openly discuss a union. “Frankly,” O’Callaghan says, “there’s a lot of fear because of the fact that our jobs are not secure.” That said, the union drive has also been an empowering experience. CCV faculty have met in Bennington, Rutland, Brattleboro, Springfield and Burlington, and a union election may be held as early as late fall. Connecting with other CCV instructors throughout Vermont has not only provided an outlet for grievances, but also addressed some of the isolation that comes with teaching at a college with no campus. “It’s creating a community,” O’Callaghan suggests. “We are a community college, so obviously our faculty want to be, too.” 쩾

Radio Daze

ou’ve got your iPod, your acoustic guitar, a box of bootleg cassettes and maybe even a crate of your favorite wax — you’re set up for the school year, right? Well, it’s a good start, but what are you gonna do when the craving for new tunes hits? The affliction might even strike STORY when you’re at your most vulnerable — at 1 CASEY a.m. in an empty dorm room. A thirst for fresh REA music cannot be quenched by warm beer, though it’s tempting to try. There’s always illeIMAGE gal file-sharing programs (unless, like MiddleMATTHEW bury College, your school has a deal with THORSEN Napster), but who wants the stinging guilt of ripping off record companies? On nights — and mornings — like these, you’ll need the human touch. Thankfully, there’s a trusty friend on your radio dial and browser window. Incoming students, meet college radio. The Green Mountain State and its institutions of higher learning have long been havens for cutting-edge broadcasts. In many cases, participation in the free-for-all that is campus radio prepares its DJs and staffers for later careers in ways a standard curriculum can’t hope to match. Here’s a rundown of some of the most respected and listened-to college stations in Vermont. Put down that MP3 player, tune in, and turn on. Underground music sounds best when it’s broadcast from, well, underground. Situated in the basement of UVM’s Billings Student Center, 90.1 WRUV makes its mark felt in the community like no other. Founded in the early ’50s, WRUV was one of the first AM broadcasters in the area. The shebang went strictly FM in the early ’70s, and has been a refuge for music freaks ever since. The station is legendary among local townsfolk, and the majority of on-air talent isn’t even students. Neither are the listeners, according to longtime DJ L.J. Palardy, who describes an ancient turf war between the station’s college representatives and its working-stiff DJs. “We sent out 9000 fliers through the campus mail and didn’t increase our student listenership one iota,” bristles Palardy. WRUV’s programming is aggressively non-commercial, and its directors mean business. Playlists cover nearly every musical style, but one thing is guaranteed: If it’s on MTV, you won’t be hearing it on 90.1. Local artists use the station as a springboard to larger recognition — getting played on WRUV provides an important rite of passage

for area bands. The long-running program “Exposure” is Burlington’s own “John Peel Sessions,” and features in-studio performances from the community’s top musical talent. Even the recently deceased Phish played live on the air back in ’85. Over the years, the 460-watt “Better Alternative” hasn’t given up on its core focus: to bring a fresh supply of music that otherwise might never be heard on the dial. You computer addicts can also listen in on streaming audio. The airwaves are open to anyone motivated enough to take a brief, FCC-required training course, but be prepared to accept some crazy shifts — UVM’s broadcast mavericks are on-air year-round, from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. That practically guarantees that if you call 656-4399, somebody will be there to take your request.

Located in a sleepy, quintessential Vermont village, Middlebury College’s WRMC 91.1 is a monster of campus radio. With 2900 watts of power, the station dwarfs its peers in broadcast muscle. WRMC is a fine-tuned machine, with a student staff plugged into the heart of the independent music business. Former music directors at the station have gone on to be industry heavy-hitters: Chicago’s Dusted Magazine — considered the resource for indie music charts — is run by a former WRMC MD. Broadcasting from the Proctor Building at the center of campus, 91.1 aims to satisfy a wide range of musical tastes. Genres include indie rock, jazz, world, avant-garde, blues and more. Independent labels keep the station well stocked, and WRMC takes this relationship very seriously. Board member Andrew Bishop says that 91.1 is “devoted to giving airtime to artists who normally don’t get radio play.” This dedication has paid off in the form of one of the region’s largest non-commercial music libraries.

a respectable permanent address in the Dewey Campus Center and wattage worthy of its “station,” WJSC is primed to deliver its eclectic broadcasts to the student community and beyond. Once you leave the immediate vicinity, however, the signal fades like a hashish dream. DJs at 90.7 are primarily students, but, according to Community Advisor David Goddette, a few faculty and locals are usually on board as well. “The DJs here love the outdoors and have a different perspective on life,” Goddette says, suggesting that being nestled in the mountains affects the station’s programming style. This all-natural vibe is reflected in down-to-earth, user-friendly radio. And although WJSC plays everything from classical to heavy metal, music is only

ices. WGDR’s three to five hours of news is a lot of talk for a college radio station. Goddard College is “low-residency” — which means there aren’t many students around to run the station. General Manager Amanda Gustafson says that 99 percent of WGDR’s staff are community members. And what a variety — the oldest DJ is in his mideighties, while the youngest licensed DJ is 14. The station “employs” a 7year-old jockey as well, but he has to come in with his parents. As corporate-owned, profit-driven media conglomerates gobble up available airspace, more and more people in Washington County and beyond seek out Goddard’s mix of music and unfiltered news. This is putting a strain on the little station that would if it could; according to

like the playlists, it was probably a tad inconvenient. These days, 88.7 makes its home right on campus in Colchester. The station is quite popular among the natives, with programming running from the Jimmy Buffet-inspired “Kahunaville North” show to straight-up punk-rock blowouts. Former Music Director Cherise LaPine claims WWPV doesn’t “shy away from anything per se,” but administrators prefer that the DJ sets don’t consist entirely of mainstream music. WWPV has had its share of claims to fame in recent years: A popular compilation based on a long-running local-music program was released, and some ridiculously popular bands such as Primus have performed in the studio. WWPV is unquestionably user-friendly,

One thing is guaranteed: If it’s on MTV, you won’t be hearing it on 90.1. one part of the picture. Shows such as “Democracy Now” and “Earth First Radio” reflect a diverse and liberal approach to broadcasting. WJSC is pretty bare-bones, and the attitude might be a little too laid-back for some. But the station has its noteworthy alums: Back in the late ’70s Cyndi Lauper served as MD, before she became so unusual. Now, there’s a tough act to follow.

Goddard College’s WGDR is as fascinating as the school that spawned it. A free-form, socially conscious station, 91.1 (yes, the same number as Middlebury; more on that in a minute) has weathered many storms on its way to broadcast glory. News is a huge part of WGDR’s programming schedule: The station is part of Pacifica, a coalition of progressive broadcasters that provides syndicated news serv-

Gustafson, WGDR’s biggest challenge is keeping up with the demands of growth. The Middlebury and Goddard stations share more than a number on the dial, interestingly enough. Amanda Gustafson’s brother Andrew is WRMC’s business director — sibling rivalry, anyone? Middlebury has the strongest college radio signal in the area, making it tough for Goddard to expand any further within the same frequency. Securing operational funding is also unique at the station; WGDR gets money from the college, but rakes in an additional $25,000 from on-air fundraising drives. Now there’s a supportive community. Once upon a time, St. Michael’s College radio station WWPV was located at Fort Ethan Allen. While it may have been well-protected against irate students who didn‘t

though its programming isn’t as challenging as it could be. If you want to shake things up a bit yourself, it’s not difficult to become a member of this radio family; at the beginning of every semester, WWPV scouts out new talent. Prospective DJs simply have to come up with a proposal for a show — “the more unique, the better,” according to LaPine. Students get the first pick of available slots, with faculty and staff grabbing the rest. WWPV has a unique partnership with Vermont Public Radio that allows it to broadcast BBC news during hours in which students may be, um, in class or something. The station’s online broadcasts have even inspired a global audience from time to time: Listeners in Japan and Australia have been known to call in or write. Down the street or across the world, requests can be phoned in at 654-2887. 쩾

Hooked on Tuna

Catching up with UVM’s big fish in the world of competitive debate

hen the University of Vermont debate team won the national collegiate championships in 1950, its members paraded around town in a fire engine, and the mayor of Burlington gave them the key to the city. STORY It’s difficult to imagine anyone making CATHY such a fuss over debaters these days. The RESMER act of arguing a point clearly and persuasively and responding to a cross-examinaIMAGE tion by one’s ideological opponent has all MATTHEW but disappeared from American pop culTHORSEN ture. Even our politicians have essentially stopped debating — can you imagine George W. Bush and John Kerry engaging in an unmoderated, 90-minute back-andforth about foreign policy? It’s no wonder that debate programs at most colleges live under the constant threat of budget cuts. But competitive public disagreement still thrives at Groovy UV — 30 to 40 debaters join the team each year. They haven’t won the national title since 1950, but plenty of plates and plaques line the walls of the team’s trophy room in its Main Street campus building. The school is such a powerhouse that if you Google

the word “debate,” the UVM website is the first two of 17 million matches. The program owes its good fortune to two men: Edwin Lawrence, who in the 1960s established the rare position of an endowed professorship of forensics at the University, and the man who’s held that post since 1982 — Alfred “Tuna” Snider, one of the world’s most widely recognized debate coaches and scholars. In Snider’s 30 years as a debate coach — he taught at several colleges before coming to UVM — he’s written several textbooks, edited critical journals and traveled the globe teaching seminars on debate. He even coined, in his doctoral dissertation, the theory behind the academic sport’s dominant paradigm, likening it to a game. But debate is more than just a game to the 53-year-old Snider — it’s a vehicle for social change. When he talks he sounds more like a prophet than a college professor. “I have an agenda,” he admits frankly during an interview in his Clark Street apartment in Burlington. “My agenda is

SEVEN DAYS to fight back the darkness by trying to bring the light of human reason. I want to replace weapons with words. I want every citizen to be a debater.” That’s a heavy mission, but the iconoclastic Snider also likes to have fun. His apartment is full of goofy stuff — a jar of rubber bugs, several Jesus action figures, posters of the British scifi show “Dr. Who.” When your nickname is Tuna, you can’t be serious all the time. The ichthyologic moniker is a remnant of his junior high debating days, when someone thought he resembled a nowforgotten mobster. He doesn’t mind. “As a communications scholar, I know that the name is not the thing,” Snider says. “No, I don’t feel I have to be dolphinsafe or come in a can.” He’s also no doubt aware that the name lends him an air of mystery, makes him larger than life. Not that he needs help. Graybearded and heavyset, he’s a big guy — “five-foot-11 and threequarters inches,” he notes precisely. A New York Times article about his summer debate camp once branded him a Santa Claus look-alike, but temperamentally

time — the season starts in September and ends in early April. During that time, debaters can expect to spend anywhere from five to 20 hours a week researching and honing their skills in various types of debate, including “policy” and “parliamentary.” And that doesn’t include traveling to four or five tournaments a semester and actually debating. Snider’s students also host several public debates throughout the school year, and produce a television show called “Flashpoint” that airs three times a week on Channel 15. But Snider doesn’t have trouble finding students willing to do the work, and he seems to relish recruitment. Unlike many coaches, he doesn’t lure top high school debaters to his program with the promise of scholarships — there aren’t any. Instead, he seeks out novices to fill the ranks of his 28- to 40-person team. To find them, Snider preaches the gospel of debate like a fiery evangelist. In a video called “Why Debate?” available as a download from the UVM website, he warns his listeners about the perils of the “pathetic intel-

My agenda is to fight back the darkness by trying to bring the light of human reason. I want to replace weapons with words. I want every citizen to be a debater. A L F R E D “ T U N A” S N I D E R

he’s more akin to one of the elves — a brilliant, eccentric, impossibly energetic elf. Snider is almost always in motion; even when he’s sitting his feet are constantly tapping. And he doesn’t seem to spend much time sitting. Last year, he spent a whopping 133 days on the road engaging in debaterelated activities. He may exceed that this year. In addition to the 12 to 15 debate tournaments he attends with his UVM crew, he also directed the national high school championships in Salt Lake City this summer. This fall he heads to Afghanistan, Istanbul and Slovenia to lead international conferences and teach debate seminars. “I like to take debate where it’s not,” Snider explains. “Yeah, I’ve lectured at Oxford and Cambridge, but I don’t really feel they need me to tell them that debate’s cool and they should do it. They’re all set. But I do like to go to Serbia, Chile and Mongolia. My favorite countries are dictatorships in the process of falling, or where they recently got out of a long period of authoritarian rule, to try to help introduce a culture of creative disagreement.” Ironically, that same culture can be a tough sell to American college students. Being on the debate team eats up a lot of free

lectual landscape of modern America.” Standing before a podium on a blackened stage, he urges young people to learn to challenge the “experts.” “The experts want to make decisions for you,” he proclaims. “They will not make them in your interest. They’re going to make it in their interest, or the interest of their masters. You know it. You can’t rely on them. You have to think for yourself.” That philosophy worked for Snider — growing up in suburban Los Angeles he wasn’t exactly a model student. “I really liked knowledge, and I liked learning, but I didn’t like school,” he confesses cheerfully. “I was a very serious discipline problem.” He discovered debate more or less by accident during eighth grade. Forced to choose an activity for his last class of the day — and having been kicked out of chorus — he picked debate. He competed in high school and college, placing third in the 1972 National Debate Tournament while attending Brown University. It basically saved his butt. He keeps a framed letter from one of his advisors, who describes Snider’s academic career as characterized by “unrelieved medioc>> 26A

rity.” But debating got him into Emerson, where he was awarded an M.S. in Rhetoric and Public Address. It also took him to the University of Kansas, where he earned his Ph.D. in Communication Studies. Besides the Brown missive, the mantle in his office holds countless trophies and plaques naming him “Coach of the Year.” Nearby is a set of Mongolian drinking horns, his collection of plastic snowglobes and a watch from the prime minister of South Korea. A gifted public speaker, Snider uses his come-frombehind story to connect with his students. He also uses music. A former DJ on WRUV and organizer of the Vermont Reggae Fest, he teaches a popular seminar called “The Rhetoric of Reggae,” and often turns to song to punctuate his points.

debate squad, “I’d probably be in New York City, still going to community college, being a part-time student, not doing much with my life.” Snider’s enthusiasm for his work is on display one recent Sunday at UVM’s Royall Tyler Theatre. The building holds the headquarters for the World Debate Institute, a program Snider founded in 1984. It’s a month-long debate summer camp with sessions for high schoolers, college students, teachers and international students. The building is buzzing with college kids from all over the country who have come to learn about policy debate. It’s a form many debaters refer to as “mental chess” because of its emphasis on speed and strategy. In it, teams of two argue over a resolution, using file folders full of published articles as their evidence. To say the rounds are fast and furious is an understatement: Competitors speak up to 400 words a minute.

To say the rounds are fast and furious is an understatement: Competitors speak up to 400 words a minute. Snider’s gaming paradigm. The editors invited him to pen a retrospective, which he titled “Gamemaster: Is It You?” The essay opens with a quote from the song “Gamemaster” by an artist called Lost Tribe. The epigraph begins, “Embracing the goddess energy within yourselves / Will bring all of you to a new understanding and valuing of life…” “I try to name all my things after song titles whenever possible,” Snider explains. He just finished a book on argumentation called Voices from the Sky, after a song by The Moody Blues. Snider’s idiosyncrasies and his passion for debate make him more than just a good teacher. Many of his former students — including his own daughter — are currently coaching debate. And many of them say “Dr. Tuna” changed their lives. Lisa Heller, who graduated in 1994, has coached debate at Bates College and Brown University, and now teaches at Cape Cod Community College. “The debate team is one of the things that most profoundly shaped my UVM experience,” Heller says. “It’s basically unwittingly shaped my career, and Tuna’s a big part of that.” Jillian Marty, who graduated last May, will coach debate as a grad assistant at the University of Alabama this fall. She has similar praise for Snider. “If I didn’t know Tuna,” says the four-term president of UVM’s

In a classroom tucked inside the theater’s entrance, four young men engage in a practice round over the resolution they’ll argue for the next 11 months: The United States should adopt an energy policy substantially reducing nongovernmental fossil-fuel use in the U.S. Arguing the affirmative is a laid-back, bearded white guy from Southeast Louisiana State, wearing jeans and a green Tshirt; his debate partner, Thierry Turenne, is a black, mustachioed fourth-year student from Pace University in New York City. Turenne is sporting a dorag, dog tags, cargo pants and Timberland boots. Before the round, he praises Snider. “He’s funny,” says Turenne, who’s attended the WDI since his sophomore year in high school. “He’s a really cool guy.” Their opponents are two kids from Kansas City Community College, both dressed in jeans and T-shirts. One of them, a beefy redhead, looks like a cornfed linebacker. His speedy, highpitched opening statement calls to mind a Midwestern livestock auctioneer. While he’s speaking, Snider enters the room. The debater plows on. Snider smiles proudly, gives him a thumbs-up, and dances on his toes, swaying to the sound of the debater’s voice as if instinctively moved by its hypnotic, intellectually charged rhythm. It’s music to his ears. 쩾

Walk on the Wi Side “

”

Marking the wireless hotspots in Vermont hen Krista Evans arrived for her first year of medical school this fall, the University of Vermont gave her, and each of her classmates, a laptop equipped with a wireless Internet STORY adapter. The UVM med school CATHY changed its curriculum two years ago, RESMER placing large amounts of information online. The wireless adapter — a $30 IMAGE to $100 piece of hardware installed STEFAN inside a computer — lets Evans hop BUMBECK on the Internet without plugging her computer into a phone jack or a wall. Now she can access her course readings from anywhere. Well, almost. Anyone who pays for an Internet connection can install a wireless router, which disseminates the signal as a radio wave. But outside of several “hotspots” on campus, Evans doesn’t really know where else she can pick up wireless, or “wi-fi” (rhymes with “hi-fi”). The technology is still so new, in fact, that many people still don’t know what it is, much less where or how to find it. The local business climate is mixed on the question of whether to provide the service. Free wi-fi hotspots are available at Speeder & Earl’s on Pine Street in Burlington and in Essex Junction, but not at the Church St. location. “It seemed like a logical step,” says owner Jessica Workman. “Our customers are really, really happy we did it.” Lee Anderson, owner of Radio Bean in Burlington, says he’ll have free access by September 1. But Muddy Waters on Main Street won’t be installing wi-fi. Carrie MacKillop, who co-owns the crunchy café, would rather not encourage the digerati to come in and hide behind their screens. “It’s a philosophical decision more than a financial one,” she says. “We’d like to keep the customer interaction up as much as possible.” Not that MacKillop has much choice — if a next-door neighbor sets up a network, her patrons will be able to check their email while sipping their lattes regardless. The range of these networks varies. Some people intentionally ensure that it stops at their door, but sometimes you can still get a signal halfway down the block. And although wi-fi access can be protected with passwords, sometimes networks remain unguarded. If your laptop is in range of an unguarded network, it’s easy — and absolutely legal — to “steal” access. Even so, free wi-fi is harder to find than you might think. On Church Street they don’t have to offer the service gratis; a local company called Soundtivity operates a pay-to-play network in large-scale hot zones that include most of Church Street, City Hall Park, Waterfront Park and the North Beach campground. Users buy access on their credit cards for $6 a day, or $28.95 a month. That’s cheaper than T-mobile, which is available now at Borders and soon will be at Starbucks. T-mobile also costs $6 an hour, but it’s $39.99 a month. Then again, you can access your T-mobile account in other cities, too. If all this sounds remarkably

unregulated, that’s because it is. There’s no standard wireless service, says Al Levy, president of Burlingtonbased Summit Technologies. “The world has not yet decided if Internet access should be a free thing or a paid thing.” Levy, whose company is working with the Vermont Broad-band Council to create a wi-fi hot zone covering the Statehouse in Montpelier, compares wi-fi today to the early days of cell phones: Coverage is spotty and prices vary. Here, then, is a guide to official public hotspots in Burlington and beyond. If you want to steal access, you’ll have to find it yourself. But first, a word of caution from techno-savvy Workman: When you join a public network, your hard drive joins it, too. “My advice to people is try to be careful,” she says. “I would recommend that anybody who uses public networks anywhere spend the 60 bucks on software to protect their information.”

Reading and Righting A summer ethics seminar sends UVM profs back to school

n a breezy August afternoon, while other people are windsurfing or soaking up the rare ray of sun, 37 University of Vermont professors are holed up in the basement of Kalkin Hall talking about STORY sex and drugs. “When should a person’s MARGOT ‘yes’ not be taken as valid?” asks Alan HARRISON Wertheimer, a gray-templed professor of political science who’s written a book IMAGE on consent to sex. His (real-life) examMATTHEW ple: A freshman at Brown University THORSEN drinks 10 shots of vodka and hooks up with a guy at a frat party. Later, she accuses the man of taking advantage of her impaired state — an offense under the university’s code, even though the woman said yes. Human Development professor Jackie Weinstock agrees with the Brown policy. Philosophy prof Don Loeb objects; if the woman couldn’t legally consent to sex while inebriated, could the man? Remove alcohol from the equation and “two-thirds of the sex on campus wouldn’t happen,” he suggests. (Overprotective parents, take note!) Weinstock counters that undergrads need to take off the beer goggles and own up to their sexual choices sober. Another professor ventures that, in order to enforce such a policy, the administration would have to “put a breath-o-meter in every frat house. No sex over .08!” “That would tell us a lot about the priorities of the students,” someone else calls out as the group dissolves into laughter. Policy planning meeting? Mass bull session? Neither. This is the Honors College Faculty Seminar: For three days, faculty from all over the university, under

the leadership of Wertheimer and Loeb, are discussing topics ranging from seemingly abstract issues such as “Obeying the Rules” and “Liberty and Paternalism” to op-ed-page standbys such as multiculturalism, war and abortion. On the surface, the ethics seminar isn’t about making the profs better teachers, nor is it about nagging them to cleave to university codes of good behavior. The professors are actually test-driving a course that some of their students will take this fall. The reading list is extracted from “Making Ethical Choices: Personal, Public, Professional,” a freshman seminar designed for UVM’s new university-wide Honors College.

instructors and eight plenary sessions, where students will absorb wisdom from such motley sources as a business professor, a free-speech advocate and the chief of the campus police force. But none of that explains why the professors are here, given that they generally divide their summers between that crucial-for-tenure research and plain old vacation. Yet here they are, hailing from fields as diverse as romance languages and computer science, accounting and medicine, all reading Plato and Peter Singer. There aren’t any papers due, but the course comes with quite a few pages of nightly reading, some of it thick with philosopher’s jargon.

malaise” evoked by the Enron and other business scandals. But the course, designed by Wertheimer and Loeb, doesn’t simply present a blueprint for the model student — or faculty — citizen. “It’s not about telling people how to be good people,” says Taylor. Rather, he explains, the seminar is meant to illustrate the Socratic precept that “thinking about serious things is good for us.” That’s part of the rationale behind the faculty seminar, too. But a more pressing motive, says Taylor, is to “give faculty a chance to get to know one another socially and intellectually. This faculty is very decentralized; people can

What better way for faculty to bond than by debating whether it’s morally permissible to bring outside food into a movie theater? When he came to the school in 2002, President Daniel Mark Fogel made it his priority to unify the various honors programs into a single, crossdisciplinary track for bright, motivated students. Committees had batted the idea around since 1999, but the Honors College — which will offer its own seminars and even have its own residence — will see its first 95 students this fall. The ethics seminar is expected to set its tone. Honors College Dean Bob Pepperman Taylor describes it as a “big bells and whistles course” with five

And what are the profs getting in return? There’s a mild financial incentive: Faculty earn $150 per day — union rate — for their participation. But Taylor, who had to turn away applicants for lack of space, says he received no “perfunctory responses” from professors looking for vacation cash. “I was impressed with how seriously the faculty took it,” he says. “We had obviously tapped a vein.” Taylor says that, if the student ethics seminar has an inspiration in the larger culture, it’s the “general feeling of moral

go for a whole career and not know people in other colleges.” What better way to bond than by debating issues such as whether it’s morally permissible to bring outside food into a movie theater?

I’ll admit that I came to the seminar expecting to hear more pontification than conversation. The seating arrangement is formal — the professors sit in tiers, each behind his or her name-card, like delegates at the U.N. And, yes, they have to raise their hands.

SEVEN DAYS But debate is fairly lively, and the seminar has its zany moments. One professor ribs another mercilessly for telling his wife wellintentioned lies — an example of paternalism. Asked for an example of “offensive speech,” a professor who teaches entrepreneurship cites a chat she had in the hallway with a colleague in a hard technical field — also present — who told her his students considered themselves “too smart” to take courses in her department. It’s news to some students, maybe, but these folks have foibles… and egos. Teaching duties are split between the course designers, each of whom has a distinctive style. Wertheimer, 62, is the more senior faculty member. An author of three books and a former visiting professor at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, he’s the staid instructor, with a dry wit and a knack for eliciting reactions to moral dilemmas by refusing to divulge his own. Loeb, 48, a selfdescribed “Grateful Dead guy” with a neat gray ponytail and a stentorian voice, is the grandstander and the clown. His best one-liner comes in a discussion of the biblical Onan, who was actually struck down by God not for masturbation — “onanism” — but for failing to impregnate his brother’s widow. “Talk about a substantial penalty for early withdrawal!” deadpans Loeb. The seminar is a crash course in wacky philosophical analogies, which somehow turn the most gravely serious subjects into Monty Python skits. Is having an abortion when birth control fails like pulling the plug on a famous violinist to whose life-support system you have been connected by a group of rogue music lovers? Or is it like attending a Grateful Dead concert with a virus and then refusing to provide antibodies to a fellow Deadhead who comes down with your bug, on the grounds that there was only a 3 percent chance of transmission? Absurd as these scenarios may be, they help us test the consequences of our beliefs. The seminar has its share of heavy moments, too. In the Abortion session, faculty members, some of them physicians, discuss the difficulty of counseling women who are trying to decide whether to terminate a pregnancy. In the War session, Loeb asks whether it’s possible, or moral, to be an absolute pacifist: “What if you could save 10,000 lives by torturing a terrorist’s child? Or 50,000 lives?” His question illustrates a dry distinction between deontology — pure duty-based morality — and utilitarianism — an ethics based on calculation of the greater good. But its resonance is powerful. While many of the participants express opposition to the Iraq War, they don’t rule out the use of violence in all situations. A session called “Issues in Higher Education” addresses a topic that hits home for the participants — academic free speech. Recent critics of academe maintain that, when it comes to political issues like the war, professors tend to walk in lockstep. During the past year, a survey in which the vast majority of university faculty members identified them-

selves as Democrats inspired right-wing activist David Horowitz to draft an “Academic Bill of Rights,” whose aim is to quell liberal bias and guarantee equal time for conservative opinions in the classroom. Though Horowitz isn’t mentioned in the seminar, libertarian Jonathan Rauch’s attack on “politically correct” campus speech codes is a reading for this session. It provokes strong, personally tinged responses. Several participants suggest that professors who conceal their own opinions in the classroom are no better than “robots.” But most agree that squelching student dissent does more harm than good. Sociology professor Valerie Moore, who teaches a course on race and gender that fulfills the school’s cultural diversity requirement, says that students often come to her class hostile, expecting “brainwashing.” She recalls how the atmosphere relaxed when she told a student who worried about making a potentially offensive remark, “You can’t offend me.” Asked how he might respond to a student who cited facts “proving” that blacks had a smaller intellectual capacity than whites, Center for Cultural Pluralism director Sherwood Smith, who’s African-American, says, “We shouldn’t ban that speech, we should interrogate it. I can ask, ‘Where did that information come from?’” Other professors maintain that the free-speech debate has been unduly dominated by conservatives, who simply overlook areas of the university where their beliefs do hold sway. “Are they teaching socialism in the business department?” asks English professor John Gennari. Loeb points out that both sides can be charged with selective blindness. Professorbaiters on the right who see only the “brainwashing” occurring on the other side, he says, are analogous to “liberals like me” who attack Israel for its human-rights violations but turn a blind eye to those taking place in Saudi Arabia. It’s a good example of how an ethics discussion can twist and turn, refusing to let the participants be complacent about their moral or political choices. Very few concrete answers result from the professors’ discussions, but what does emerge is a method for approaching problems that are notoriously hard to solve. Part of the philosopher’s job, says Loeb, is achieving logical consistency and “reflective equilibrium.” Part of it is to recognize the importance of “nonmoral facts,” like the statistics showing that seatbelt laws save lives. Part of it is avoiding bias and “informal fallacies,” such as, “You’re just making that argument because you’re a male chauvinist pig.” And part of it is trusting your gut. One professor, who took the seminar to help with his teaching, points out, “It’s easy to raise these issues in class, but hard to guide [students] through them.” Loeb agrees. Philosophers “get stuck with the stuff it’s hard to be sure about,” he says. “The acquisition of knowledge is painful in some ways. But it beats the hell out of the alternative.” 쩾

Classes We’d Most Like to Take ...if only we had the time

ep, it’s August again — the time of year when we scroll through online college catalogs and sigh over the classes we wish we could take. If only real jobs weren’t so much, well, work. Students STORY just don’t know how good they’ve got PAMELA it. On the other hand, interpreting POLSTON course titles is a lot more fun than taking tests. If you’ve signed up for any of the following, don’t fret; the real classes are much more serious, probably.

could actually go back in time? Does NASA know about this? I am so going back to tell off Kelly Williams for stealing my boyfriend senior year. I thought of the best line after that fight we had. While I’m at it, I might as well get a decent haircut, because I look like a total skanker in my yearbook. On second thought, forget that — if I combine this course with MUS 1015-J01 MEET THE MASTERS (Johnson State), I could go way back and hang with Hendrix before he choked. Sweet! But do I have to take the rest of the class along?

ECO 3210 GREAT IDEAS IN ECONOMICS

ANNB 301 MEDICAL GROSS ANATOMY (University of Vermont) I really want to be a doctor, like on “ER,” and I’ve been trying to steel myself by watching those reality shows where they do actual surgeries, but it is so gross! Really, I mean, ewww! I’m never going to make it to med school if the sight of blood makes me hurl. So I’m psyched that this class just comes right out and admits that anatomy is disgusting. Besides, the professor for this class is a total hottie. I wouldn’t mind checking out his body fluids…

(Castleton State College) I really like the positive, can-do attitude of this class. Usually they focus on the ideas that totally suck ass — you know, trickle-down, voodoo, and tax rebates that bankrupt the government. I expect we’ll cover tried-and-true basics like piggy banks and saving for rainy days, and then explore the really excellent capitalist innovations of our time: credit cards for college students and free toaster ovens with new checking accounts.

PED 3710 THEORY OF COACHING (Castleton State College) Who knew there was an actual theory? I guess we’ll learn the intellectual underpinnings of such strategies as screaming until your veins bulge out in your neck. Our high school football coach had his own EMT handy in case he had a coronary, or a cow. And what’s the theory behind all that butt-patting?

CH101 CHEMISTRY FOR CHANGING TIMES (St. Michael’s College) Omigod, you mean to tell me I

PO 349 PEOPLE AND BOUNDARIES (St. Michael’s College) Some people I know? They can be, like, so in your face? I told this one dude the other day I could see his tonsils and he just kept standing there like he didn’t get it. Hello? I want to learn how to deal with people who have no concept of personal space, you know? Without being a total bitch? Hope the class isn’t too crowded — if I get another mouthbreather sitting behind me I’m going to scream.

EDEL 270 KINDERGARTEN METHODS & ORGANIZATION (University of Vermont) My mom always says I’d lose my head if it wasn’t attached. (She doesn’t know that I have, in fact, lost it on a number of occasions.) So I figure I might as well go back to square one and learn how to neatly stow my crayons, hang up my jacket and throw my chocolate milk carton in the actual trash can. How will I ever make it through college if I can’t… oh, wait, did I send in that application? Anyway, I’m hoping to be ready for the much more rigorous PHYS 0104 CHAOS, COMPLEXITY & SELF-ORGANIZATION (Middlebury College) next year. I’ve already bought some hangers!

NFS 208 SENSORY EVALUATION OF FOODS

GEN 380 CAMPAIGN FEVER: THE RACE FOR POWER (Burlington College) How timely is this? I figure we’ll finally learn the real stories behind, say, John Kerry’s Vietnam exploits and George W. Bush’s, um, “service” in the National Guard — and how come those Swift Boat dudes aren’t worked up about that? But enough of this macho crap; I’m writing a paper on how a candidate’s hair — or lack thereof — impacts the youth vote. Field trip to Ohio, where we will interview swingers. But I wonder what we’re going to do after November 3?

cheapest beer? And, OK, the black-andwhite cows are Ben & Jerry’s, but what about those brown ones? Finally, foliage is totally pretty and everything, but where do you people put all those leaves after they fall off the trees?

BIO 1260 NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES (CCV) This is presumably about other people’s brushes with the Grim Reaper and will not require trying it personally. Kinda creepy, but I’m game — it’s good to be informed, right? Wonder if that guy who nearly tanked at Justin’s kegger last year will speak in class?

THE 030 FUNDAMENTALS OF SCENERY (University of Vermont) I know it sounds dumb, but I was born and raised in the city, and I need a little help with, you know, the landscape. I’ve got Camel’s Hump down, but where’s Mt. Mansfield, and which lodge has the

(University of Vermont) This is the career stepping-stone I’ve been looking for. I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who smell things for a living. How cool is that — you just basically have to inhale all day. Oh, sure, you have to identify things authoritatively, but that’s gotta be cake. I figure I’ll start out with some entrylevel gig that pays you to tell if cheeses are too stinky for the American market, then work my way up to baked goods. Eventually, I plan to develop my own all-chocolate aromatherapy line.

HARC 0409 ART MUSEUMS: THEORY & PRACTICE (Middlebury College) Oh, the theory behind museums is fine: You go to some big art show, you expect to feel like a better person for it — more highbrow or whatever. But in practice, what happens? First you wait in line like it was effin’ Shea Stadium, then you shuffle through the show at a bovine pace determined by the people who got the audio, and spend about 27 seconds on each painting. And all the while you’re scrutinized by guards who act like Homeland Security officers on orange alert. It’s humiliating, really — even if they’re not armed. My paper for this class will propose a better way to become an art snob. Hint: It will involve virtual reality.

PSS 145 TURFGRASS MANAGEMENT (University of Vermont) I’m hoping this class will attract those types whose management style is basically: “Move it, asshole — this is my turf!” There’s got to be a more civilized way to convey the notion of private property. For starters, we’ll change our “Keep Off the Grass” signs to “Keep Off the Grass, Please.” The main text for the class will be Turf War… and Peace. Extra credit for learning how to share.

PHYS 0155 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIVERSE (Middlebury College) Hello, Mars. Hello, Pluto. Hello, Saturn — love your rings! Hello, your, er, Uranus. Hello, Black Hole. Hey, Big Dipper, wassup? Yo, Alpha Centauri! Hello, Sirius. Boy, this could go on forever. m

Tech Check Will the proposed Regional Technical Academy make the grade?

ast March, it seemed clear: High school students in Northwest Vermont needed a regional academy to better prepare them for high-paying, high-skill technical careers. Educators, business leaders STORY and taxpayers had bought into the KEVIN J. notion, and on Town Meeting Day KELLEY about 60 percent of voters in 25 towns in Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle IMAGE counties agreed to let planning for the TIM new facility continue. NEWCOMB Now, however, with a vote on final approval looming in November, that consensus is starting to fray. Growing skepticism and outright opposition have planners rethinking their proposal, and prospects for what would be the most expensive high school ever built in Vermont may be dimming. Sponsors of the proposed Regional Technical Academy (RTA) remain firmly in favor of the plan. They point to a 2001 study by Vermont state economist Jeffrey Carr that identified a growing shortage of technical workers in the Burlington area. This lack, employers complain, has required them to foot the cost of expensive, out-of-state recruitment efforts to fill local job openings. RTA supporters cite these missed opportunities as proof that existing technical-education programs aren’t equipping enough students with the skills that tomorrow’s jobs demand. Proponents add that the career academy model is associated nationally with lower dropout rates and higher job placements for students embarking on technical careers. The RTA would thus serve as “the cornerstone of a long-range workforce development plan in our region,” academy sponsors say.

Technical-education centers adjacent to Burlington and Essex high schools currently offer a wide range of vocational courses. Eleventh- and 12th-graders throughout the area can enroll in either the half-day program at the Burlington Technical Center or the full-day schedule at the Center for Technology, Essex. But academy proponents point out that both these facilities are about 30 years old and don’t always provide the most up-to-date instruction.

Academy at a nearby site would ease congestion not only for vocational students but for all those attending Essex High. The growing suburban town sends more than 1600 students to the local high school — about 300 more than it was intended to handle. If voters give approval to the RTA, the 40,000square-foot Essex tech center would be shut down and the building would almost certainly become available to Essex High School.

provide funding for only a two-year RTA. And lawmakers have yet to approve of the academy conferring its own diplomas. Even some RTA supporters view that as a major potential shortcoming likely to discourage a significant number of high school juniors and seniors from enrolling in the full-day academy. Unless the Legislature acts, RTA students would receive diplomas from their “sending schools,” even though they would no longer attend classes there.

Overcrowding is also a problem, especially at Essex. There, 409 students are enrolled for classes that start next week. That’s about 50 more than the facility was designed to accommodate, according to director Kathy Finck. High demand has forced her center to rent additional space and to house some of its services in temporary trailers. Some students eat lunch on the floor of a corridor, Finck says. Planned construction of the 300,000-square-foot Regional Technical

Some critics suggest that the high school’s need for additional space is an important but generally unacknowledged force behind the RTA proposal. They argue that it would be more efficient to simply expand the high school than to build a whole new technical center. Political and financial factors, meanwhile, have tempered RTA sponsors’ ambitions. When planning began in 1998, the academy was envisioned as a full four-year high school. But the Vermont Legislature made clear it would

It is also not clear whether the academy will be able to offer advancedplacement courses for students hoping to attend prestigious colleges. And close to half the students currently enrolled at the Burlington and Essex centers do want to attend four-year colleges, according to the centers’ directors. In addition, the academy wouldn’t field its own athletic teams or offer other extracurriculars, so students who wanted to play sports or participate in clubs would have to drive or be bussed

SEVEN DAYS

All these disincentives are fueling doubts about RTA sponsors’ initial and maximum enrollment projections. Varied sources have given different numbers at different times during the planning process. Enrollment estimates range from 843 students (a projection for fiscal year 2005 included in a 2002 consultants’ study), to 800 (an estimate in a 2003 report by the RTA planning committee), to 960 (a figure recently cited on the academy’s website). Sponsors have also said they envision an eventual enrollment of 1200 or 1250 students. Key RTA backers won’t offer specific predictions about how many students will attend the RTA in September 2005 — its projected opening date, pending voter approval in November. “Our data show we will have good enrollment numbers, but I’m not sure what the first year will equal,” says RTA project manager Melissa Hersh, who also directs the education and training division of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce. State education officials decided this week that academy sponsors’ projections for maximum enrollment are too high. Capacity has now been set at 947 students. This official forecast could prove crucial to the RTA’s fate because the estimated cost of establishing and operating the facility will be based how many students it is expected to serve. State officials are due to make those determinations later this week. Mark Aliquo, director of the Burlington Tech Center, meanwhile estimates that about half of his 360 students would not chose to travel to the RTA’s proposed site in Essex. Aliquo notes that Burlington high schoolers enrolled in his facility can simply walk down a hallway to reach their academic classes at BHS. Andy Demar is among the stu-

dents taking classes at Burlington Tech who would be reluctant to enroll in the RTA. Demar, a senior at South Burlington High School, says he would not want to leave behind his classmates for the sake of attending the new academy full-time. He says the classes in automotive technology he now takes at Burlington are “really good.” If almost all students enrolled at the Essex center opt to attend the RTA — as Finck predicts they will — and if Aliquo’s forecast is accurate, initial enrollment at the RTA might be as low as 580 students. Inability to demonstrate unmet demand for technical education has cast doubts on the central premise of the RTA project, according to Mount Mansfield Union High School principal Bob Stevens. “The academy design perpetuates the myth that if you build it, they will come,” he wrote last year in a position paper criticizing the RTA proposal. Mount Mansfield is one of nine high schools within the academy’s envisioned service area. According to State Rep. George Cross, a Winooski Democrat and a leading opponent of the RTA, none of those principals, or their school boards, have formally endorsed the RTA. And Stevens isn’t the only one openly voicing opposition to it. Some voters in November may be influenced by the scant support for the RTA among educators. But the projected cost of the academy — and what that means for local property tax bills — will probably be the decisive factor. The academy’s website (www.techedworks.org) puts the projected per pupil cost at $13,256 for fiscal 2004. Nearly $8000 of that would be covered by the state, according to the RTA sponsors’ calculations. The balance — a local per pupil tuition assessment of $3715 and capital carrying costs of $1448 — would have to be paid through the education tax in the 25 towns within the RTA’s district. Moe Germain, the RTA board’s budget specialist, suggests this would raise the average homestead tax by 3 or 4 cents, equivalent to a $60 to $80 increase per year on a primary residence valued at $200,000. That’s a relatively small price to pay for “a world-class facility,” Germain suggests. The cost of the project to taxpayers would presumably be reduced if the region’s business community, which strongly favors the RTA, were to help raise funds for the academy. Project manager Hersh says business leaders have had “some quiet discussions about raising financial resources to help the RTA with its startup and ongoing operations.” She emphasized, however, that no specific commitments have been made. Some critics have suggested that taxpayers are, in fact, being asked to fund a public school that would primarily serve private interests. “The RTA will cost additional new money and will not improve student access nor assist in the introduction of technical education to more students,”

to their sending schools at day’s end. “That wouldn’t be in the interest of the school climate at the RTA,” notes Colchester Superintendent Armando Vilaseca, who counts himself among the academy’s potential supporters. “Would your kid want to go to a school that doesn’t have a soccer team, a basketball team or a baseball team?” asks Joe Mackey, who taught at the Essex and Burlington tech centers for 30 years. Worried about how voters might react to the academy’s price tag, planners recently downsized their proposal. The original idea was to house the RTA in two buildings — the former Tensolite and Champion Jogbra facilities on New England Drive in Essex. Renovating those sites would have cost an estimated $58 million. The revised proposal involves only the Jogbra building, which would be refitted and expanded at a projected price of almost $45 million. The single-building choice meant abandoning a plan for an on-site partnership with the Vermont State College system, which was to have operated out of the Tensolite plant.

Administrators at a few local high schools worry that the RTA would effectively drain their own budgets. Scott Lang, principal of BFA-Fairfax, has warned that his school could suffer a 20 percent cut in resources if a sizable share of its students transfer to the RTA. About 50 BFA-Fairfax students, or 15 percent of the school’s total enrollment, currently take courses at either the Burlington or Essex tech centers, Lang says. If the same number of students enroll in the Regional Technical Academy, BFA-Fairfax would see its budget shrink by about $1.5 million, Lang predicts. “It would be devastating for this school,” he says.

Lang contends that a single regional facility would have the perverse effect of foreclosing tech-ed options for some students. “If we send all our tech programming to the Regional Technical Academy,” he says, “we’re giving access to more kids but we’re reducing access to ones who aren’t interested in going full-time for two years. When kids see tech ed taking place in their own schools, they think it’s something they may want to look into.” The head of the Burlington Technical Center also expresses doubt that the RTA would improve the quality of vocational education. “The vision we started out with was pretty exciting,” says director Aliquo. “Now it’s been tempered by the practicalities of finance and the political process. I think the current system is actually a good one, and in the proposal as we see it now, I’m not sure the system would be better.” RTA opponents suggest that technical education in the region could be improved at a lower cost by upgrading the vocational programs already offered at local high schools and perhaps renovating the Burlington and Essex centers.

Cross. “There’s a need to offer good tech courses at every high school in the area.” The debate in Vermont is occurring against a backdrop of declining federal support for vocational education across the country. Throughout the 1980s and ’90s, tech programs were de-emphasized in many school districts as attention was focused on improving high school students’ academic performance. A few local critics base their opposition to the RTA partly on the view that a high school education should be heavily academic. Among those is Robert Low, a professor and former provost at the University of Vermont who also serves on the Chittenden East Supervisory Union school board. “If you overeducate somebody to make a certain

kind of widget while in high school, you’ve done no service to that person when the widget becomes obsolete,” Low reasons. “The most important thing for a high school student is to get a general education background. It’s an essential underpinning. You can get a good technical education after leaving high school.” But a large share of American secondary students continue to take some sort of vocational courses, and about one-quarter concentrate on a specific career field during their high school years, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Many vocational programs have also recently enhanced their academic content, bolstering the image of technical education. RTA backers insist that the academy would provide a firstrate academic program even as it focuses on equipping students with job skills. “The concept is to integrate technical education with full academic requirements,” says RTA school board chairman Jim Hester, a vicepresident of MVP Health Care. “Our courses are designed to meet college-prep standards.” This November, voters will decide if the RTA passes the test. 쩾

LEGALIZE IT Ken Picard deserves a round of applause for his article, “Leap of Faith” [August 18]. Fortunately, Peter Christ is standing up against a flawed and impotent morass, otherwise known as the War on Drugs. Christ’s message is controversial and unpalatable, but you know what? It’s the only realistic solution to ever be offered. Too many people die in this “war” with the majority of drug-related deaths tied to trafficking, not ingestion. The drive to intoxicate oneself is universal and ancient. Making substances that are in such high demand illegal makes prices skyrocket. With such lucrative monetary appeal, crime is the inevitable offspring. In all actuality, I don’t expect much to change with Federal Scheduling, considering that the Feds don’t truly want this war to be won. There is a symbiotic relationship between law enforcement officials and drug traffickers. They need each other, for entirely fiscal reasons. Christ is right. Legalization is the only solution. It will be a difficult road, but in the long run it will save lives and keep innocent people out of prison. It’s not as if everyone is going to abandon their moral statutes if drugs are legalized and run out and overdose. True prevention, in the form of education, must accompany decriminalization. And, of course, if some people take advantage, that’s their right. This is, after all, a land that supposedly believes in freedom, a word overused and cheapened of late, but a powerful one. Freedom and its ideals spawned the U.S., lest we forget. Jebson Interlandi SOUTH HERO

BETWEEN THE SCENES Below are production stills from four well-known films. In each, one or more of the picture’s stars has been caught between takes talking shop with the film’s director. Your job, as you’ve no doubt guessed, is to process all available clues — costume, set, the combination of personnel, etc. — and come up with the title of the movie they’re in the middle of making.

REMNANTS

CONTROL ROOM★★★1/2 Jehane Noujaim’s latest offers a documentary look behind the scenes at al-Jazeera and draws some provocative conclusions about the fairness of war coverage offered by the Arabic network and its counterparts in the U.S. media. (84 min, NR) DODGEBALL★★1/2 On the heels of Along Came Polly, Starsky and Hutch and Envy, along comes Ben Stiller’s comic saga about a team of losers who try to save their local gym from being bulldozed and replaced by a modern sports-and-fitness palace. Naturally, the issue winds up getting resolved by an all-or-nothing round of dodgeball. Vince Vaughn and Justin Long costar. First-timer Rawson Marshall Thurber writes and directs. (90 min, PG-13) THE DOOR IN THE FLOOR★★★1/2 Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger star in writerdirector Tod Williams’ adaptation of the 1998 John Irving best-seller, A Widow for One Year. The two play a children’s book author and his wife coping in contrasting ways with the death of their two sons. With Mimi Rogers. (111 min, R) EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING★1/2 Stellan Skarsgard stars in this problem-plagued prequel (the production burned through three directors; never a good sign) in which Father Merrin makes a horrifying discovery while on an archeological excavation in Kenya. James D’Arcy and Izabella Scorupco costar. (114 min, R) FAHRENHEIT 9/11★★★1/2 The new documentary from Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore is sure to rank among the year’s most controversial and provocative. The filmmaker offers a searing examination of the Bush administration’s actions in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks. (110 min, R) FESTIVAL EXPRESS★★★★ Janis Joplin, The Band and The Grateful Dead are among the acts immortalized in this documentary about a week in the summer of 1970 when some of the biggest names in music traveled by train across Canada together. (90 min, R) GARDEN STATE★★★1/2 Zach Braff wrote, directed and stars in this drama about a young TV actor who returns home for the first time in almost a decade, sees his old world through new eyes and even gets to hook up with Natalie Portman. Ian Holm and Peter Sarsgaard costar. (107 min, R) I, ROBOT★★1/2 Will Smith stars in this scifi-effects fest directed by Alex (Dark City) Proyas and based on an Isaac Asimov short-story collection, in which a detective discovers that servant androids pose a threat to humankind. With Bridget Moynahan and Chi McBride. (115 min, PG-13)

PEACE OUT Literally meaning “ego severance,” chod is both a tantric Buddhist spiritual practice and a living expression of Tibetan culture. Burlington City Arts and the Bristol-based Drikung Dzogchen Community team up to present internationally respected teacher Kunsang Dechen Lingpa Rinpoche in a performance of the healing chod, assisted by monks and nuns from northern India’s Zangokpalri Monastery. Participants relax on their sides for a series of rituals accompanied by haunting, thousand-year-old melodies played on the hand drum, bell and bone trumpet. Kunsang Dechen Lingpa Rinpoche talks Thursday evening about healing compassion and world peace. There’s a concept.

WED.25 scene@ROCK THE VOTE music BURLINGTON WATERFRONT, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, NOON.

Everybody knows Americans love democracy — so much so that we’re literally dying to bring it to Afghanistan and Iraq. But for some reason we’re not as keen on practicing it here at home: Only 51 percent of eligible U.S. citizens voted in the 2000 election — and only 36 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds cast a ballot. Since 1990, the nonpartisan, nonprofit organization Rock the Vote has organized concerts to urge young voters to the polls. This one drew a few hundred Vermonters and tourists to the Waterfront by pairing locals Gregory Douglass and Salad Days with touring acts Chris Grace and Antigone Rising. But the most interesting show wasn’t on the main stage; it was in the Secretary of State’s small booth. The staff invited concertgoers to play a game. They propped up a black plastic wheel, featuring a dozen or so civics questions in pie-wedge sections, and let passersby give it a spin. A plastic needle clicked as each section spun past, eventually stopping on a question. The prize for answering it correctly was a white shirt that read, “Your Vote Is Your Voice.” It was entertaining, if disconcerting, to watch adults struggle with questions such as, “Who becomes president if the president and the vice president are unable to fulfill their duties?” or “Name two Vermont candidates for governor.” A fortysomething-looking woman panicked when 19-year-old staffer Eli Chalmer asked her which state office runs Vermont’s elections. (It’s the Secretary of State.) “Can she have a lifeline?” asked her male companion. There were a few tougher questions, too, such as, “What was the original name of the Vermont Voter’s Oath?” Jan Backus, a candidate in the Democratic Lieutenant Governor primary, aced that one. “I think it was the Freeman’s Oath,” she said. Most players walked away with a shirt, thanks to Chalmer’s enthusiastic coaching. RTV president Jehmu Greene says the organization has registered twice as many voters this year as in 2000, and the volunteers at the voter registration booths said they were busy. But the lines at the temporary-tattoo tent were longer.

At Sunday’s finale, the 46-piece New Amsterdam Summer Orchestra showcases emerging young musicians under the direction of 23-year-old conductor Alondra de la Parra — the first woman from Mexico to be invited to conduct in New York City.

FAIR SHARE Summer has to end sometime. But folks who want to squeeze in a bit more warm-weather fun and absorb some local color before the fall colors can head to the Champlain Valley Fair. Along with the main-stage concerts and midway rides, fairgoers can see sheep shearing, oxen pulls and perfect-complexioned cows. The greenhouse’s hotly contested heavyweight vegetable competition prompts passersby to speculate on who’ll get the blue — last year’s winning pumpkin topped a ton. In a nod to Vermont’s dairies, a sculptor crafts a scale model of the Statehouse in Montpelier entirely out of solidified sweet cream. And, of course, there are always the racing pigs.

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY FAIR Saturday, August 28 through Monday, September 6, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, 9 a.m. - midnight. Admission $9, parking $3. Info, 878-5545.

RAPID REVISION If the Three Stooges teamed up with Monty Python to do Shakespeare, it might look something like this staging by the Dorset Theatre Festival’s Conservatory Company. Fast-paced and wildly funny, the play covers all 37 of the Bard’s dramatic works and sonnets in under two hours. With just four actors playing all the roles, costume changes become a matter of precision layering as jester-pirate-courtiers fire off the literary canon. Originally a production of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, the work is now officially London’s longest-running comedy. Though the actors deliver their lines with necessary speed, this isn’t a tough act to follow — audience members who pay close attention earn it back in laughs, with interest.

TASTY BUDS You donâ€™t have to have a green thumb to appreciate a well-tended garden, and the annual walking tour of Burlingtonâ€™s outstanding neighborhood green spaces showcases several. This yearâ€™s route through the Old North End takes in a whimsical backyard, a Japanese home garden, a Burlington Blooms Award-winner with a variety of flowers, and the new childrenâ€™s garden at the Sara Holbrook Center. At each location, homeowners and gardeners answer questions and point out features of their particular patch of earth. After the tour, Friends of Burlington Gardens hosts a vegetarian dinner featuring fresh produce from local gardens and farms, so walkers can experience the late-summer pleasure of eating the fruits of their â€” and other peoplesâ€™ â€” labor.

TASTE OF THE GARDENS DINNER AND GARDEN TOUR Saturday, August 28, tours depart from Lawrence Barnes Elementary School, Burlington, 3:30-4:30 p.m., dinner at 6 p.m. $25. Reservations and info, 658-5733.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, It’s common knowledge that Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Mary is a lesbian. I have heard rumors that his wife, Lynne, also has a Sapphic side. Is this true? Curious in Colchester Dear Curious, Lynne Cheney has never said which way she swings. But back in 1981, when her husband was serving his first term as a congressman from Wyoming, Cheney published Sisters, a bodice-ripper set in frontier days. The Faucet paperback includes strong women, attempted rapes and undercurrents of lesbian love. In April, New American Library wanted to re-issue the novel, which has long been out of print, but the author just said no, demurring that the book doesn’t represent her “best work.” (The Second Lady has published seven books altogether, including the best-selling kids’ book America: A Patriotic Primer and the intriguingly titled Telling the Truth.) You can buy Sisters on eBay for $100, or read it online for free. The book is being posted as a public service at http://www.livejournal.com/~lynnecheney/. Although reading it won’t answer your question about Lynne’s proclivities, it’s easy to imagine why the author might be intrigued by sexual scenarios that don’t involve a Dick. Love, Lola

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Staring into my computer screen is not necessarily the best way to get inspired for the task of creating your horoscope. After analyzing the astrological omens, I often wander out into nature in quest of inspiration. Today’s jaunt took me all the way to Mt. San Pedro, a place I’d never explored before. Upon reaching the top, I found a panoramic vista that revealed three of the bridges that cross San Francisco Bay. As I surveyed those monumental connecting links, my intuition turned to you. A sudden breeze came up, and I heard a voice in my head say, “It’s weaving time for the Crabs. Tell them to splice and unify and join together.”

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): “Beginner’s mind” was originally a Zen practice. Many artists and thinkers now use it to stimulate their creativity. To achieve this blessed state, you dispense with all your preconceptions and enter each situation as if you’re seeing it for the first time. “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities,” wrote Shunryu Suzuki in his book, Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind, “but in the expert’s there are few.” As much as I love beginner’s mind, though, I have an even more important assignment for you this week, Taurus: Cultivate a beginner’s heart. Approach every encounter with love as if you’re feeling it for the first time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 2001, Mitzi Nichols of Virginia Beach anonymously donated one of her kidneys to a stranger. She got paid nothing for this rare act of generosity, and after recovering from surgery went back to her job as a cashier at a gift shop. It took the universe three years to figure out a way to compensate her properly. This past June, she won $500,000 in the Virginia state lottery. I call this to your attention, Leo, because I believe you’re in a phase when your acts of no-stringsattached largesse will generate karma similar to what Nichols set in motion three years ago. Like her, however, your rewards may not arrive right away, and they might come from sources with no apparent link to the recipients of your kindness.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): While visiting relatives in Fort Collins, Colorado, I borrowed a 10-speed and rode down the most delightful urban bike path in the world. As I pedaled for miles past parks, wetlands and fields of wild flowers, I felt gratitude for the visionary planners who had created such a sanctuary in the midst of a city of 120,000 people. I hope you can be like that bike path in the coming week, Gemini: a source of relaxing beauty at

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your life will always be unfinished business, Virgo. From now until the day you die many years hence, you will be a work in progress. There will never come a time when you have everything figured out. I urge you, therefore, to find a way to feel at peace with this incompleteness — or better yet, to love and celebrate it. Luckily for you, the coming weeks will bring you some of the sweetest, juiciest imperfections ever.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Creativity expert Roger von Oech takes issue with the old saw that a chain is no stronger than its weakest links. He thinks they’re indispensable. “Many systems have weak links designed into them,” he says. They’re called ‘fuses.’ When a system gets overloaded, the fuse blows and saves the rest of the system.” Judging from the astrological omens, Libra, I’m pretty sure you’ll soon get to play the role of a fuse yourself. Whatever group or structure you’re part of needs to break down for the sake of its long-term health — and you’re the best candidate to lead the way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): New York Times rock critic Jon Pareles bemoans the withering of the Beastie Boys’ comic feistiness. As they’ve become politically aware and socially responsible, the white hip-hop artists have toned down their anarchist braggadocio and shameless troublemaking. Now the fun is almost gone. Pareles says it has been “like having the Three Stooges decide they want to become a panel of appellate judges.” I wonder if it might have been possible for the Beastie Boys to evolve a more positive and compassionate outlook without losing

their deliciously scandalous spunk. I pose a similar question to you, Scorpio: Can you imagine becoming both kinder and wilder?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s time for you to intensify your levels of Sagittariusness — to become even more of a Sagittarius than you’ve ever been before. Here are a few tips on how to proceed. 1) Always keep your basket overflowing with options; 2) Don’t laugh unless you really mean it, and then unleash a belly laugh; 3) Embrace optimism for both its beauty and its tactical advantage; 4) Be fiercely allergic to fraud and injustice; 5) When pursuing a goal, crank open your peripheral vision and be prepared to get from A to Z in an A-J-C-X-E-Q-R-B-Z fashion; 6) Add new stamps to your passport regularly; 7) Know how to have fun even when life sucks; 8) Remember that you’ll regret adventures you didn’t do more than those you did do.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): The astrologer Forest Fickling did a statistical study of 50,000 people, analyzing the data to determine which signs were the best and worst in various categories. He found that Capricorns work the hardest, accomplish the most in the shortest time, and daydream the least. But I hope you’ll rebel against these natural inclinations in the coming weeks. Between now and September 16, I think you’ll achieve the greatest success possible if you daydream a lot more and don’t work as hard as usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Soon I’ll begin my annual pilgrimage to the world’s wackiest utopia,

your Unbirthday season, Pisces — that upside-down, backwards, yet oddly fullof-grace time halfway between your last birthday and your next. I can’t buy each of you an Unbirthday present, but if I could, it would be a gift certificate to the Pirate Supply Store in San Francisco. There you could buy Jolly Roger flags, eyepatches, plundered treasure chests, lessons in how to whistle while eating saltines, tubs of lard (good for hair-styling and skin moisturizing as well as cooking), and a broadside featuring the text, “The Journey of the Fishes Overland.” Believe it or not, all these would be quite practical. They’d inspire you to cultivate a devil-may-care mood, which would be perfect during your Unbirthday season.

the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. Of the many ways it refreshes my spirit, the most important is its absence of money, advertisements and commerce. The temporary community of 30,000 people is run as a gift economy. Nothing is for sale. No one can buy anything. When goods and services are exchanged, it’s because they’re given freely. I wish that you, Aquarius, could experience the unprecedented relaxation that settles in when you’re utterly free of being hustled. I wish you could live for a time without worrying about finances. I especially wish you could do this now, when you have a prime astrological opportunity to reinvent your relationship with money. If you can’t make it to Burning Man, what else might help you in this noble task?

the heart of the hubbub; a calming yet inspiring influence that motivates the people around you to act with maximum integrity.

June, a rickety raft carrying 42 destitute African refugees washed ashore on a posh nude beach in Spain. Visualize that scene, Aries. It will serve as an apt metaphor for your life in the coming week. A forlorn, vulnerable part of your life will come face to face with a luxurious, beautiful part. And what will unfold in the wake of this juxtaposition? Let’s hope it will be similar to the scene in Spain, where the naked sunbathers leaped into action and got help and care for the refugees.
