BRANDING IRONY I would like to say a few words in reference to last issue’s article about General Dynamics [“Local Matters,” July 27] and its readingprogram donations. I think it’s a little ignorant to complain about General Dynamics printing their logo on reading materials. Yeah, General Dynamics is a defense contractor, but plenty of other corporations are profiting immensely from this war. Pepsi and Coke donate to schools all the time, and besides the oil companies, they are profiting off the war more than anybody. There are some who, like me, see the war as a business opportunity for many U.S. companies, who no doubt pushed for this conflict. If it wasn’t for the UNOCALs, Halliburtons and Coca-Cola companies of the world, there wouldn’t be pressure for the government to spend its money on defense contractors. And for those who claim General Dynamics is trying to get good PR for children, I ask you to look at McDonald’s, Phillip Morris and all the other companies out there that brainwash children into brand loyalty. After all, those are the purchases future consumers will make, not machine guns and body armor. Nathan Burgess HINESBURG

STUDENT LIFE I live in the heart of the “student ghetto.” The reason is three-

fold; proximity to downtown, colleges and the university; the affordability; and the architecture of my home and the neighborhood. There is also the factor of challenge and going against conventional wisdom. A young landlord and I were in an animated discussion about the acceptability of his tenant’s raucous behavior when he quipped, “What do you expect? It’s a student neighborhood!” That statement defines the whole problem. It serves as the rationale for landlord and tenant alike, giving both an excuse to abdicate responsibility as well as the obligation to change. For the landlord, this mindset allows him/her to let things slide. Tenant safety and the building maintenance suffer. After all, they’re just students in a student neighborhood. It allows them to be “pragmatic” with their investment. They focus on the bottom line rather than taking pride in their property. Since it surely doesn’t look like home, many of the students who live in these buildings treat the property, and its surroundings, with little concern. From this attitude it is easy to see why they feel no obligation to respect the rights of others in the neighborhood. This is no excuse for their behavior, such as noise in the wee hours of the morning, or dumping trash in their front yards. It serves to highlights the pragmatic nature of

the situation; your attitudes reflect your environment. For this cycle to change, several things must happen. Both landlord and tenant must take responsibility for their actions. The city must take a more active role in enforcing its existing codes. Police need to walk a beat rather than drive it during the spring, summer and fall. Non-students living in these neighborhoods need to be less adversarial, hard as that may be. As with bringing up your own kids, you need to pick your battles. What will change things more than anything else is for all of us to stop using the excuse that it’s “just a student neighborhood.” Neighborhoods, like life, are a process of transitions. Not to see change is to miss an opportunity. Phil Hammerslough BURLINGTON

Donald Fell and his fellow murderer Lee accomplished and the thorough waste of five lives and the irreconcilable sorrow that others now carry in their souls. How is it possible to feel empathy for such cold-blooded, druginduced horror? It just isn’t. Though, if we let ourselves reflect upon our American legacy of violent brutality, it’s not difficult to appreciate the endless precedents. It wasn’t that long ago that black people were bought and sold as commodities for high profit. Or smallpox-infected blankets were

handed out to freezing Indians . . . So what do slavery and killing Indians have to do with Fell? I’m talking about how our American legacy and lust for ownership and profits blinds us to the social costs of exploiting people . . . When our military funding supercedes every other budget and our laws and policies and cultural messages promote guns and violence and exploitation as well as endorse legal slaughter in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia, when our depleted uranium bullets and bombs kill foe and friend alike,

how is it possible to feel empathy for those responsible for the lost lives, lost limbs, lost hope and genetic deformities? It just isn’t. What Fell and Lee accomplished in their criminal, murderous rage may indeed deserve an eye for an eye, and Fell’s death sentence may bring closure for some. Their unbalanced, drug-seduced minds had no shortage of public mentors accomplished in the art of legal slaughter. How to feel empathy for a man who snaps because of a hopeless life in a black hole, and why not an eye for an eye

from cold-blooded, calculating, profit-at-any-cost-minded cheerleaders masquerading as patriots who order the deaths of thousands through embargoes or bombs, whose decisions caused deaths no less bloody and horrible than [those of] our fellow Rutlanders’? Perhaps at some collective level, this is one price we pay for the lustful and obscene profits made at the expense of our social responsibility . . . And, for sure, the families, friends and acquaintances of loved ones like Debra Fell, Charles Conway and Tress King will be left holding the emotional bag while the mega-scoundrels and legal murderers bamboozle us out of our money and social conscience for one another. Nick Santoro WEST RUTLAND

GOOD GRADES It is unfortunate that in beginning the discussion on the financial limitations facing the Burlington School District, the focus of consolidation continues to be on closing schools in the Old North End [“Local Matters,” July 27]. Emphasis on the underperformance of Lawrence Barnes and H.O. Wheeler creates a negative public perception that undermines

the important role they serve in educating a diverse population of students. I’d like to take the opportunity to applaud the hard-working teachers, administrators and staff in both of these elementary schools. They not only provide an outstanding education to the students who come through their doors, but exemplify the true purpose of public schools. They model the belief that all children, no matter what challenges they present, have the right to a high-quality public education. We are eagerly anticipating our son’s first day of kindergarten at H.O. Wheeler, knowing that he will have the opportunity to learn in a diverse and engaging public school. I’m proud of the community-based, enriching environment the teachers of Lawrence Barnes and H.O. Wheeler create every day for students and parents. As we engage in dialogue on the financial realities which must be addressed district-wide, let’s also remember to focus on the positive contributions of the Old North End schools and the important role they play in the Burlington School System. Colby Kervick BURLINGTON

CORRECTIONS: In last week’s Daysies awards write-ups, we said that City Lights in Burlington opened in 1995. It actually opened in 1988. In 1995 it moved to its current location at Battery and Main streets. We regret the error.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

EAT THE LANDSCAPE!

Senator Megamillions?

epublican U.S. Senate hopeful Rich Tarrant filed his personal financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate last Friday afternoon and also released copies to the press. Are you sitting down? The IDX CEO’s report marks the first time we’ve ever seen a candidate check the box for “over $50,000,000.” That was the box Tarrant marked to indicate the value of just his IDX stockholdings alone! Unfortunately, there is no box on the form for “over $100,000,000” or “over $250,000,000.” Tarrant also reports up to $30,000,000 earned from real estate partnerships, and millions more from approximately 300 holdings in publicly traded assets including stocks, money market funds, etc. Tarrant’s Florida property holdings and his new Bentley, which he has registered in the Sunshine State, were not included. Campaign Manager Tim Lennon said Tarrant does not have to report personal property. Incidentally, Richie Rich might want to contact the online Winkipedia Encyclopedia. That’s because the Winkipedia bio of Mr. Tarrant still identifies him as a Florida resident. “Inside Track” has also learned of a recent pro-Tarrant telephone poll that the Tarrant Campaign claims to know nothing about. It was conducted around 10 days ago. Those called were asked, among other things, if they would “find Tarrant appealing if they knew he was a basketball star who went to school in Vermont, had borrowed money to start IDX, had created 900 jobs and had done philanthropic work?” Another question asked if they would be “negatively influenced knowing Tarrant had resigned from the Fletcher Allen board through no fault of his own?” Or how about this little dig at the frontrunner, Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders: “Would you think negatively about a person who has been a congressman for 12 years and had only one piece of legislation passed?” We’re also told there were about 10 questions on abortion and stem-cell research. Interesting. We wanted to talk to Candidate Tarrant about his financial disclosure, the poll and his recent appearance at an event sponsored by an ultra-right-wing, antigay group called Vermont Renewal. According to the Vermont GOP website, Tarrant was the “special guest” at the Vermont Renewal Summer BBQ at the home of David and Judy Sargent in Chittenden. Vermont Renewal recently wrote town clerks letters informing them that it is illegal to issue civil-union licenses to out-ofstate couples. Secretary of State Deb Markowitz said she has notified town clerks to ignore the missive from Vermont Renewal because it is a misinterpretation of state law. Wonder what our gazillionaire GOP senate candidate thinks? Unfortunately, Mr. Tarrant did not respond this week to our request for an interview.

Dean on the Dial — DNC Chairman Howard Dean returned to the WVMT airwaves last week, making an appearance by phone on the “Charlie & Ernie Show.” Ernie Farrar was on vacation, so Charlie Papillo lined up a week of “guest hosts.” On Thursday morning, the guest hosts were Democratic State Sens. Peter Welch and Dick Mazza. One of the guests Welch lined up was Dean. However, when Ho-Ho called in as scheduled, Papillo hogged the mike like the professional morning man he is. You see, Dean had been ignoring Charlie’s requests for an on-air interview for more than two years. Plus, the infamous “Dean Scream” from Iowa is a regular feature on the show. In fact, Charlie told Ho-Ho he’d checked the computer — it’s been replayed more than 800 times! For starters, Dean had to slither out of Charlie’s questions about why he’s declined to appear on the program over the last couple years. “It’s a huge country. Every talk show wants to get me on,” replied Ho-Ho. Papillo asked Dean to explain both the dramatic change in his personality and the change in his politics that occurred when he hit the presidential campaign trail. You know, the “rolled-up sleeves,” the “angry voice,” the sudden appeal to the antiwar political left? Good question, but Dean expertly danced around it. He started rolling up his sleeves, he said, because he was “pretty passionate about what was going on in this country . . I was always pretty hard to characterize.” Asked if he would have done anything differently, Dean replied, “Oh, sure, but the biggest problems were in campaign organization.” Hear that, Joe Trippi? “I didn’t have any idea about how to run a front-runner campaign. We got into the big leagues faster than I anticipated. That was one of the big problems.” Charlie also jabbed Dean for the crass comments he’s made this year about Republicans being a “white Christian party” and people who “haven’t worked an honest day in their lives.” Dean defended the first: “It’s true! It’s true!” he shouted — but claimed the latter was “taken out of context.” “The reason I haven’t apologized,” said Dean, “is I know what I said.” Then Charlie hit him with the Bernie Sanders question: “You’re supporting him, yet you’re on the record saying you never voted for Bernie Sanders?” “Ah, we’re not getting into all that stuff,” responded Dean with a chuckle. “We haven’t formally endorsed Bernie Sanders, but it’s likely we will.” Sanders “votes most of the time in a way I approve of,” said the DNC chairman. “He votes principally like a Democrat.” Such stirring praise for Ol’ Bernardo, eh? Then Chairman Loose Lips proceeded to almost endorse Ol’ Bernardo’s opponent — Republican Rich Tarrant. INSIDE TRACK >> 16A

VERGENNES — Vermont’s oldest city is getting rotten to the Corps. The Northland Job Corps, that is. A financial dispute between the city of Vergennes and the U.S. Department of Labor has Mayor April Jin threatening to cut off police and fire protection, street lighting, road maintenance and other municipal services to the vocational training center unless the federal government pays the city $134,000 by August 13.

About a third are Vermonters. The center is privately run but receives more than $7 million annually in federal funds. For years, the DOL paid the city an annual fee to cover municipal services. But five years ago, the General Accounting Office determined that those payments violated federal law. To fill the gap, Vermont’s congressional delegation secured a $596,000 appropriation for Vergennes. The

The city has obligations for public safety. In terms of strict liability, I don’t know, but I think there’s a moral obligation. VERMONT SECRETARY OF ADMINISTRATION CHARLIE SMITH

But the DOL’s Employment and Training Administration, which funds the facility, says it won’t pay, claiming the federal government is immune from local taxes under the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution. Moreover, the DOL warns that if the city refuses to provide those services, students may be moved to other Job Corps sites in New England. “It is not acceptable that students’ safety is being used to press this issue,” Emily Stover DeRocco, the assistant secretary for U.S. employment and training, writes in a July 22 letter to the city. “Termination of municipal services would be a serious breach of the City’s civic responsibility.” The Northlands Center was established in 1978 on the grounds of the former Weeks School, a 66-acre state reformatory for troubled teens. Since then, the Center has provided diplomas, career preparation and other training to thousands of disadvantaged youths from New England. About 280 students attend the residential school.

DOL considered it a final settlement of its obligation. But Jin, who was elected in March, disagrees. “I’m not so sure the city looked at it that way,” she says, “but they took the money anyway.” Last year, Vergennes exhausted the last of the appropriation — about $37,000. It now faces the prospect of raising taxes on all city residents to cover the lost revenue. On July 1, Jin sent the DOL a letter requesting $134,214 — or 10 percent of the city’s budget. Jin contends that since the Job Corps houses 280 students in a city of about 2800 people, the center should pay one-tenth of city expenses. “It’s not that we’re trying to chase the Job Corps out,” Jin emphasizes. “We just hope we can work this situation out. But if they do choose to move, there are other potential uses for that property.” Jin adds that she’s checked with the Vermont League of Cities and Towns and believes Vergennes isn’t obligated to provide services for free.

But Vermont Secretary of Administration Charlie Smith isn’t so sure. “The city has obligations for public safety,” he says. “In terms of strict liability, I don’t know, but I think there’s a moral obligation.” The federal government rents the Northlands site from the state for $210,000 per year. That money goes into the general fund, which in turn reimburses Vergennes about $30,000 annually. Smith notes that other communities host state and federal facilities — Waterbury has the Vermont State Hospital, Burlington the Vermont Department of Health — but get no additional money for their expenses. Northlands Center Director Denise Jones says this dispute is primarily between the city and the feds and she’s not letting it interrupt the organization’s work. “We’re all just ready to say goodbye to this [dispute] and get on with doing what we came here to do.” She adds, however, that the center is making contingency plans in case the city follows through with its threat. She won’t specify what those plans are. Jin acknowledges the many benefits Vergennes reaps from the Job Corps. The Center employs about 119 people, many of whom live and spend money there. Job Corps students also volunteer thousands of hours in community service worth an estimated $15,000 to $20,000. Nevertheless, Jin believes it’s unfair to ask Vergennes residents to bear the cost of services for such a large complex. “If you have a property owner who doesn’t pay their taxes, you have a recourse because you can take their property for tax sale,” she says. “But this is state land and state buildings and we really can’t do anything else about it.”

Reappraisals Add Up to Trouble for Tenants BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — Mike Shea was stunned when he opened his tax bill a few weeks ago and discovered that the property taxes on his six-unit apartment building on Austin Drive had jumped $3550, an increase of nearly 40 percent over last year. “I can’t absorb that,” says Shea. “The place doesn’t make that kind of money. I’m a little scared.” But Shea, who also owns the Spirit of Ethan Allen III, says the tax increase will hit his tenants even harder. The occupants of his two-bedroom apartments, which rent for about $900 per month, include a seasonal house painter, a pizza delivery driver, a waiter and an employee at Dobrá Tea. “I’m not talking executives who can afford the $35-a-month increase from last year and a $50a-month increase this year,” Shea adds. “I know these people can’t afford this. I can see it in their eyes when I tell them. Any increase they may have gotten in their wages this year is gone.” Shea isn’t the only landlord in town being forced to raise rents when leases expire. An analysis of the city’s recent property-tax reassessment shows that “residential-commercial properties,” or rental apartment buildings, experienced the biggest percentage rise in their property taxes. In fact, more than 62 percent of all apartment buildings — i.e., those with five units or more — saw their taxes rise by more than 31 percent. Fewer than 6 percent of them saw their tax bill rise 10 percent or less; fewer than 9 percent saw their tax bills drop. The trend was similar for twoto four-family dwellings; more than 46 percent of them saw their property taxes jump by more than 31 percent. In contrast, taxes on only about 22 percent of single-

family homes rose that much. Commercial real estate fared better; nearly 36 percent of these properties have a lower tax bill than last year. The trend wasn’t entirely unexpected. For more than a year, Mayor Peter Clavelle has been warning residents that the statemandated property reassessment

would shift the city’s tax burden from commercial to residential properties. (The state requires a reappraisal whenever the aggregate value of all property in the city falls below 80 percent of its true market value.) As anyone who has been watching Burlington’s real estate market knows, the price of investment rental properties has been increasing even faster than that of single-family homes. As Shea points out, the people who will bear the brunt of those tax hikes are the ones who are least able to afford it. “I’m not blaming the City of Burlington. I know it takes money to run the city,” he says. “But it does seem that the apartments got hit hard,

and nobody was representing the apartment dwellers.” Actually, city residents in all kinds of dwellings were floored when their tax bills arrived last month. Many assumed that because the reappraisal was supposed to be revenue neutral, their taxes wouldn’t go up much, if at all. Among them is William Folmar, who lives in the Old North End. Folmar says his taxes nearly doubled over last year’s. And when he called the city, he was incensed to learn that the window for filing an appeal had already closed. “I said, ‘What are you talking about? I’m just opening the mail today.’” Brendan Keleher, Burlington’s chief administrative officer, says that’s been a common reaction. Many homeowners didn’t realize that when their property values went up after the reappraisal, some would see their taxes rise, while others would stay the same or drop. “There’s actually quite a bit of variation within the residential class,” he notes. Keleher can’t say which neighborhoods experienced the greatest tax hikes — a geographic analysis is still in the works — but property values in the Hill Section and along the waterfront were among those that rose the most. While the process for appealing the reassessment is over, Keleher emphasizes that the current tax bills — which are due August 12 — may not reflect a homeowner’s true tax liability. Anyone who earns $47,000 or less can have their taxes capped at 5 percent of their income. Keleher recommends that residents contact the Vermont Department of Taxation and file a request for a tax rebate. A similar program also exists for low- and moderateincome renters.

NAKED LUNCH? BURLINGTON — Love them or hate them, you have to admit the animal-rights activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) know how to attract attention. Last Friday at noon, PETA’s Amy Jannette painted a butcher’s diagram on her body and sat at the corner of Church and Main streets in downtown Burlington, wearing only lacy black panties. Holding a small rectangular piece of cardboard in front of her chest, she sat cross-legged beneath a banner that read, “All Animals Have the Same Parts.” Even the committed carnivores in line at the Kevin’s Wicked Hot Dogs cart couldn’t look away. Jannette and her companion, Chris Link, came to Burlington from PETA HQ in Norfolk, Virginia. Their summer tour to dissuade meat eaters includes stops in Albany, New York, and Springfield, Massachusetts. Link’s job is to hold the banner and answer questions from passersby, such as Darryl Dawson.

The twentysomething Burlington resident wandered over after a friend told him about “the naked girl” at the bottom of Church Street. He read the writing on Jannette’s back out loud. “We got chuck, chuck, rib, rib, and . . . rump,” he said, his eyes lingering on her posterior. “That’s funny!” Dawson explained that he eats meat because of the taste, the texture and the carbohydrates. “Actually,” Link corrected, “meat doesn’t contain carbohydrates.

Just protein.” “Protein,” Dawson agreed, his eyes still fixed on Jannette, “that’s what it is.” Link handed him a pamphlet, which Dawson scanned distractedly. He promised he’d learn more about why he shouldn’t eat meat, and complimented the activists for opening his eyes to vegetarianism. “Presentation,” he said, slowly backing away, “is everything.” CATHY RESMER

Homeland Insecurity When someone reported seeing a box with wires sticking out of it under a subway grate in New York City, police closed off the block while the bomb squad investigated. They gave the all-clear signal after discovering the device was a digital camera, which someone apparently positioned to photograph beneath the skirts and dresses of women and girls who walked over the grate. • When workers at the Bluffton, S.C., post office noticed a package sitting alone

in a loading area and went to check it out, they said that it was shaking and buzzing. Suspicious, they alerted police, who evacuated a dozen employees from the building, cordoned off the area and summoned a SWAT team and bomb squad. Two bomb technicians opened the package, which contained no bomb. Police Chief John Brown reported, “It turned out to be a novelty gift”: two vibrators. Lisa Holman of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said that postal inspectors who responded to the incident were debating whether to return the package to the sender or forward it to the receiver.

Little Things Mean a Lot A federal judge in Denver ruled that more than 400,000 customers of a Canadian company that sells penis-enlargement products may join a lawsuit claiming that the oils and herbal supplements don’t produce the permanent enlargement and cure for erectile dysfunction that the company promises on its website and elsewhere. Michael Freeman, attorney for the company, told U.S. District Judge Phillip Figa that the company never promised permanent enlargement; it touts its products as sexual enhancements. Connie Peterson, the attorney for another company named in the suit, suggested that plaintiff Jeffery Horton might have a difficult time rounding up a substantial number of under-endowed customers willing to step forward and join the suit.

Drinking-Class Heroes When Johnnie Patt Ndogo, 55, appeared in traffic court in Durham, N.C., to answer allegations that he hadn’t complied with penalties from a drunk-driving case, he

smelled of alcohol and was “appreciably impaired,” according to Assistant District Attorney Jim Dornfried. A test showed his blood alcohol level was three times the state’s impairment standard. Although Ndogo insisted that he had consumed the alcohol the day before and not driven to court, Judge Marcia Morey promptly held him in contempt and sentenced him to three days in jail. • Kudzu, the vine that covers Dixie like the dew, may curb binge drinking by speeding up alcohol absorption. Researcher Scott Lukas and his colleagues at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital in Boston set up an apartment in their lab, complete with a television, reclining chair and a refrigerator stocked with beer. Then they recruited 14 men and women to spend four 90-minute sessions drinking beer and watching TV. Those given capsules containing kudzu drank only 1.8 beers per session, compared with 3.5 beers by those who took a placebo. “Individuals reported feeling a little more tipsy or lightheaded,” he said, “but not enough to make them walk into walls or stumble and fall.”

Problem Solved Seattle police who tried to stop a distraught man from jumping off a bridge wound up shooting him. The unidentified man, in his twenties, had jumped off the bridge twice at a lower level trying to commit suicide before he went back for another try, police official Debra Brown said. She explained that officers were trying to calm the man when they struggled and shots were fired, sending the man to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS

ow is it that anyone, anywhere, still cares that Lance Armstrong has won his seventh Tour de France? How many times is he supposed to do that? This “cancer survivor” thing is wearing a bit thin. Alternatively, how much suspense can we endure about the “space shuttle,” tiles damaged or undamaged? Let’s face it, the only really exciting thing about the space shuttle in recent times is that it blew up twice — though God forbid it should ever happen again. I’m sorry. That’s in bad taste. But so much is nowadays. It was in bad taste for President Bush to “flip the bird” at journalists on his way to yet another vacation in Texas, as he reportedly did last week, when they asked him some questions about the CAFTA agreement. It’s in bad taste for Bush, ever, to call his wife Laura “the lump next to me in bed,” as he has done in the past.

A fresh take on dinner.

Be smart

It was in bad taste for the president’s mother, the stinking-rich Barbara Bush, to appear with him at another of his Social Security “stumps” and declare again how “worried” she is about the financial future of her grandchildren. It was in bad taste for his father, the first and only slightly less murderous President Bush, to complain in an interview how “hurt” he is whenever he hears his little boy criticized in the press. It was in terrible taste for Bush to leave 40,000 Boy Scouts sweltering in near-100degree temperatures at their jamboree last Wednesday because it was “too hot” for him to appear, and then to stand them up again the next day because of the threat of “thunderstorms.” The Boy Scouts had had such a bad week already, what with all those lightning deaths, and inasmuch as about 300 of them had to be treated for dehydration, heat prostration and exposure while waiting in vain for Ding-Dong to appear. (That he finally did appear, in the cool of Sunday evening, was in even worse taste, an obvious exercise in damage control.) It was in dreadful taste, also last week, for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to announce plans to “accelerate the demise of Castro’s tyranny” in Cuba by appointing “a transition coordinator” to hasten his downfall by any means necessary. Assassination, maybe? Oh, wait, we tried that before. It was in rotten taste for the U.S. Congress to grant $14.5 billion in tax breaks to energy companies at the very moment that the world’s largest oil giant, ExxonMobil, announced a $7.5 billion

profit in the last three months alone. It was in disgusting taste for the same Congress to grant immunity from lawsuits to gun makers, just because “po’ widdle Smith & Wesson,” as columnist Greg Palast observes, didn’t actually pull the triggers that killed 32,436 Americans with handguns last year. And it’s in really execrable taste for Bush and his British lapdog, Prime Minister Tony Blair, to keep insisting that we need to “fight the terrorists over there so that they won’t fight us over here” — the clear implication being that foreign lives are worth less than our own. The list goes on and on — you might say that Bad Taste is Bush’s middle name. And about that space shuttle: Don’t imagine that it has anything to do with “exploring space,” because it doesn’t. It has to do with the perfection of war — from the skies. And even then it’s a bust — a great, big Edsel of a federally funded project that’s kept NASA afloat ever since Americans landed on the moon and discovered there was nothing there. That was in 1969, for those who don’t recall — just a few weeks after Judy Garland was found dead on a toilet in London from cirrhosis of the liver, and about a month before actress Sharon Tate and some of her friends were brutally murdered by the Manson gang. I mention these events not to be outrageous, but because they were closely connected at the time. Garland, Manson and the moon — what better juxtaposition could there be of American dreams gone sour, American violence on the rampage, and American know-how all for naught? Garland’s death, at least, led to the Stonewall riots in New York, when urban “homosexuals,” grieving their favorite cultural icon, got tired of having their bars raided and threw anything at hand — mainly drinks — at the police, thus giving birth to the gay-rights movement. But can you think of a single thing the American moon landing accomplished besides making us feel like “Number One?” Now Bush wants the “Star Wars” missile system back, even though American taxpayers have already expended $130 billion on this turkey (more than is spent on cancer research, according to the TrueMajority campaign), and even though not one aspect of it has so far proved workable. Worse, the U.S. “is planning its first production since the cold war of plutonium 238 — one of the most deadly forms of the element — for use in secret missions, possibly including spy satellites and undersea devices,” while still bullying and chastising other nations about the proliferation of “weapons of mass destruction.” We’re Number One, all right — in military spending, arm sales, foreign debt and useless consumption. And, I would say, we’re Number One among warmongers, hypocrites and goddamn fools on the planet. But it might be in bad taste to say so. 쩾

The Kindness of Strangers

DANIEL ZILKA

f there were local Tony Awards, the Vermont Stage Company would surely nominate the star of The Anonymous Donor. This one-act was staged last week at an unusual venue: the Chittenden Bank. Its simple plot goes something like this: A stranger walks in, writes out a $17,000 check, and pays off VSC’s loan. The banker is sworn to silence. The theater company’s business manager discovers the zero balance online, calls the bank to inquire, and is told, “Someone loves Vermont Stage very much.” Emotional drama ensues: bewilderment, joy, relief. Elsewhere around town, the stranger wears a secret smile. The best thing about this “play” is that it’s true. “It just blew me away,” says VSC’s baffled but grateful Artistic Director Mark Nash. “We have no clue who it was . . . We were in deep trouble three months ago and no one came through with that kind of cash.”

“All the hard work and you never know if you’re making a difference, and then something like this happens and it’s a real affirmation,” Nash says, referring to last week’s generous donation. “We’ve reached a critical mass of people who want to keep us around.”

Positive thinking seems to be the zeitgeist in Vermont’s performing community: New companies keep popping up — and several are devoted to the centuries-old but ever-popular William Shakespeare. Vergennes’ Augenblick Theatre is going the “reduced” Shakespeare route, at least in its first season. In North Hero, the Vermont Shakespeare Company launched just last month with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Now, Charlotte-based actor Kathryn Blume is following her own Bard bliss with the brand-new Queen City Shakespeare.

We have no clue who it was ... We were in deep trouble three months ago and no one came through with that kind of cash. VERMONT STAGE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR MARK NASH

Though Nash claims it “wasn’t common knowledge that we had this $17,000 debt,” friends and followers of the company have known it was struggling for months. A fundraising drive last October “got us out of a real bind,” Nash says candidly. He thought VSC would be all right through the winter, but ticket sales continued to slump — a problem shared by other local thespians — and the company was forced to pass the hat again. In March Nash announced that VSC needed to raise $35,000 by the end of the fiscal year (June 20) in order to go forward. Donors rose to the occasion once again, coming just a few thousand dollars shy of that goal. Meanwhile, VSC slashed its already spare overhead; Nash and business manager Corinn Bergeron are now the only full-time employees. “It’s about a $45,000 difference, between fundraising, major discipline and financial gifts,” Nash reveals. “We’re the strongest we’ve been in our 12-year history.” He has another reason for optimism: Subscription sales for next season are already double the number expected by this point. Perhaps it helps that the opener, on October 12, is Larry Shue’s popular comedy, The Foreigner. (See http://www.vtstage.org for the full schedule.)

The name is a subtle double-entendre: In a reversal of the 17th-century norm of maleonly productions, QCS is composed solely of women: Blume, 37, and Burlington actors Haley Rice, 25, and Susan Palmer, 30. The three performed together in Vermont Stage Company’s spring production of Quilters, and got to talking about how much they loved Shakespeare but lacked opportunities to do it. Blume, who frequently performs with Vermont Stage (and is married to director Mark Nash), believes in taking matters into her own hands. Her Lysistrata Project was performed internationally as the U.S. was invading Iraq; she followed that success with her one-woman show, The Accidental Activist. The politically passionate Blume continues to cultivate her “artist-as-activist” persona — the Lysistrata theme recurs in another solo show she’s developing, in which “the First Lady starts a sex boycott to effect environmental change.” In the meantime, Queen City Shakespeare is rehearsing As You Like It, which Blume hopes will debut at First Night. She expects to take the company into schools as well as tour professionally. “It will be just the three of us, performing multiple roles,” Blume says. “But there may be puppets or coat racks, you never know.” 쩾

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, I’ve always wanted to have a lucid dream. I’ve read about a lot of different methods to increase the number of lucid dreams you have. Most of them require a lot of commitment, though, and before I take one up I want to know if it actually works. Is there a real working method that helps you have lucid dreams? Derek Murphy, via email Like many people, I have dreams nearly every night. Some seem significant, most are probably pointless or silly, but I’d really like to know for sure. How can I remember in the morning what I’ve dreamed the night before? Anthony Crowe, via email “Lucid dreams?” said Little Ed, befuddled as usual, on reading Derek’s question. “So he can tell when the snakes and cigars are really just snakes and cigars?” No, dolt. Lucid dreaming is a paradoxical state in which the window of consciousness is seemingly closed to the outside world but open to an inner one. Lucid dreamers know they’re dreaming, and if truly adept can return to the same dream night after night and manipulate the content, all without waking up. Sounds like a nifty skill, and life-changing benefits are ascribed to it. But many people, like Anthony, have a more basic concern: Far from having enough on the ball to dream-surf, they barely remember their dreams at all. The best-known guru of lucid dreaming is Stephen LaBerge, author of several books on the subject and founder of the Lucidity Institute in Palo Alto, California. LaBerge’s qualifications are twofold: First, he’s a PhD in psychophysiology who conducted dream research for many years at Stanford University. Second, he’s a veteran lucid dreamer who over a seven-year stretch recorded nearly 900 lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming — the term was coined by Dutch writer and physician Frederik van Eeden in 1913 — has been known for centuries. But it had been largely forgotten until interest in altered states of consciousness perked

up among certain scholars during the 1960s and ’70s. LaBerge, for one, decided lucid dreaming offered a ruote to personal growth, vanquishing inner demons, etc. Here’s his report of a lucid encounter with a scary dream genie: “Realizing that my fear had created his terrible appearance, I resolved to embrace what I had been eager to reject, and with open arms and heart I took both his hands in mine. As the dream slowly faded, the genie’s power seemed to flow into me, and I awoke filled with vibrant energy.” Whatever. But LaBerge makes a good case that lucid dreaming isn’t just aging hippies kidding themselves. The chief proof is his research involving rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, when most dreams occur. Knowing that REMs can indicate where the subject is “looking” in his dream, LaBerge and other lucid dreamers arranged to signal lab technicians that they were in control of their dreams by moving their eyes in a specified way. Sure enough, they were able to do so, even though instruments showed they were still asleep. From what I can tell, sleep scientists now generally accept that you can be aware you’re having a dream. Is lucid dreaming a gateway to a higher state of awareness? I’m skeptical, and when I queried him LaBerge said merely that it can be “one of many pathways to continued development.” The simplest explanation for conscious control of dreams is that the dreamer is in fact close to consciousness, and that practitioners have merely mastered the art of dancing on the thin line between wakefulness and sleep. LaBerge doesn’t buy this, telling me, “Our research indicates that lucid dreaming takes place during deep, intense REM sleep.” We might debate whether higher central nervous system involvement = deep sleep, but let’s leave that for later. More relevant for present purposes is whether lucid dreaming can be learned. LaBerge says yes, but I’m not convinced it’s something everyone can do. Even a casual reading of first-person accounts suggests that lucid dreamers have exceptional powers of recollection. One study found they’re also more imaginative and inclined to mystical experience. A cynic might interpret that to mean they’re more prone to being flakes, but let’s be charitable and say they see and remember with a vividness about which the rest of us can, well, only dream. If you ask me, therefore, the first step in lucid dreaming is deciding whether you’re a likely candidate. LaBerge says you need two things: high motivation and good dream recall — not good news for us Anthonys. To improve in the latter department, the Lucidity Institute recommends setting your alarm for some multiple of 90 minutes after bedtime in hopes of waking yourself up during a REM interlude. I don’t claim it’s pointless to try; on a purely practical level, research indicates lucid dreaming can help control chronic nightmares. I merely suggest that a knack for lucid dreaming seems a lot like perfect pitch — cool if you’ve got it, but not the end of the world if you don’t. CECIL ADAMS

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD

Reds, Whites and Now... Blues?

O IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

n a summer afternoon, the view from the patio of the Charlotte Village Winery is magnificent — hazy blue mountains and dramatically lit clouds loom above an expanse of short, gnarled trunks covered in darkgreen leaves. It could be a scene from the French wine-growing region of Alsace, except that the “vines” are incongruously tall and bushy. That’s because they’re actually highbush blueberries. William and Colleen Pelkey, who own and run a 25-year-old UPick operation off Greenbush Road just west of Route 7, grow 10 acres of blueberries and not a single grape. But that hasn’t stopped them from winning honors in the American Wine Society’s 2001 Commercial Wine Competition, including a gold medal for their Midnight Blue Dry wine and a silver for their Country Blue Semi-Dry. Blueberry wine? Wine snobs aren’t the only ones likely to be skeptical about the plum-colored vintage. Wines made from fruit other than grapes have a reputation for being sickly sweet as well as earthy and homespun — suitable for a picnic on the green in peasant skirts, perhaps, but not for a well-appointed table and formal wear. Yet there are definite advantages to drinking wine made from the homely northern blueberry: It’s the fruit highest in antioxidants, which may help stave off cancer and heart disease by metabolizing free radicals in the bloodstream. While the benefits of moderate red wine consumption have been touted for years, a 2003 study by the Tufts University Human Nutrition Center found that blueberry wine is higher than any grape wine in “ORAC” — or oxygen radical absorbance capacity. As for the problem of excessive sweetness, it may be an issue to take up with the winemaker, not the fruit. Most fruit wines actually need some added sugar to be palatable, because the fermentation process converts natural sugars to alcohol. But in the right hands, fruit wine doesn’t end up tasting like a wine cooler. The Pelkeys have been making wine since 1999 and selling it since 2001. It started when a hobbyist friend asked for some blueberries in order to try a wine recipe. Soon the Pelkeys and their grown son Will were experimenting with winemaking, too — including with other fruits. “It was kind of like a fever,” Colleen recalls. As their efforts became more professional, they hired an out-of-state wine consultant to evaluate the results. In the early days, the Pelkeys held tastings on the porch of their house. In 2003, they began building the present winery, a handsome, red-roofed, pine-sided structure that opened to the public just last month. On the upper floor is the spacious, dark-raftered tasting room and retail shop, where visitors can sample the vintages and pick up a Charlotte Village Winery T-shirt. Through a large, plate-glass window, they can overlook the first-floor workshop and get a glimpse of some winemaking paraphernalia: a barrel of raspberries with a weighted cover undergoing its first few days of fermentation; tall, stainless-steel tanks in which imported grapes are busy fermenting; 14 oak barrels in which blueberry wine is aging and soaking up flavor, which can take up to a year. The process of making blueberry wine begins in August, after the last pickers have gone through the fields. The berries are harvested by machine and brought to a sorting shed, then dumped into a barrel, still in their skins, and mixed with sugar water and yeast. The sugar is needed because blueberries are lower in natural sugars than grapes, and it must be carefully calibrated to ensure the target alcohol content. After an initial five days of fermentation, the wine is “racked,” or filtered, then transferred to stainless steel tanks.

“Edible Complex” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

COLLEEN PELKEY During the fermentation process, the winemakers assiduously measure temperatures and sugar levels. Individual taste influences the process: for instance, a lower temperature yields a wine with a stronger, fruitier “nose,” while a higher temperature produces one with a deeper color, William says. After two or three weeks, the brew reaches a measure called “zero Brix,” meaning that its sugars have been entirely converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide. Next comes the sojourn in oak barrels — longer for dry wines, shorter for sweeter ones. The last step, bottling the wine, takes place on a three-generation assembly line. William and Colleen Pelkey prep the bottles and pass them to their two teenaged grandchildren, who cork them using a three-legged metal apparatus. Their uncle Will packs the corked bottles in cases. “We can do a case a minute,” says Colleen. “You know how teenagers are — they’re in competition with each other.” What would Miles, the Merlot-hating oenophile from the movie Sideways, make of blueberry wine? Hard to say. But to an easier-to-please palate it tastes pretty good. Those who have tried in vain to detect the “blueberry accents” critics find in some grape wines will be pleased to discover that this wine really does taste like blueberries. At the same time, you won’t mistake it for a cheap fruit cordial. The Midnight Blue Dry really is dry, neither sugary nor overly acidic. The Semi-Dry has a brisk, bracing taste. And even the Moonlight Blue, a dessert wine, retains a hint of the tonic tartness of fresh blueberries. “Sprinkle it on cheesecake or angel food cake and then have a glass on the side,” Colleen suggests. Given Vermont’s savage temperatures, growing wine grapes — which bask at an average 65 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit on the West Coast — isn’t a great proposition. But that doesn’t stop the Pelkeys from trying their hands at classic grape wines. A few years ago, they began importing heat-pressed grapes from the Lodi region of California. They receive the fruit

in the form of a heavy juice and put it through the fermentation process. A light Gamay Beaujolais and a crisp Pinot Grigio are on sale at the winery; a Merlot and a Cabernet are aging in oak and will be ready next year. The Pelkeys also make raspberry wine from Putney fruit and strawberry wine using berries from the Mazza Farm in Colchester. They sell a selection of their wines through Burlington-area retail outlets such as Cheese Traders and City Market; they hope to sell from their upcoming website by winter, when winery drop-ins will be scarce. At the winery, prices are modest, ranging from $9 for the Moonlight Blue to $14 for the oaked Midnight Blue Dry. Unlike grape wines, blueberry wine doesn’t “mature” with age, Colleen says, and buyers should drink it within two or three years. Both in their sixties, the Pelkeys are knowledgeable about their craft, but unpretentious. Ordering wine in restaurants, Colleen says, they generally refuse a test glass and ask the server to “bring it on.” “I tell everybody, ‘You’re the judge,’” says Colleen, who presides over the daily tastings at the winery. “If you don’t like it, it doesn’t mean you’re wrong.” Still, informed approval is welcome. She recalls an encounter, when the family was still selling wine on the porch, with a visitor who was a formidably qualified taster of the Miles variety. After hearing his expert critique of a friend’s grape wine, Colleen asked the connoisseur to try her blueberry version. “He said, ‘No,’ just like that,” she remembers. “I said, ‘You really know your wines. We’re just starting out, and I’d like you to give us good advice.’ Well, he took a sip of the wine, looked at me, and said, ‘Somebody knows how to make a good blueberry wine.’” Though the oenophile didn’t buy any wine that day, Colleen says, “It made me feel really good, because he wasn’t ready to give phony compliments.” That’s something the Charlotte Village Winery doesn’t seem to need. m

“Whatever disagreements I may have with Congressman Sanders,” said Dean, “in the end I have to choose. And I like Rich Tarrant, too. If he ends up being the candidate, I think he’s a very good guy, but I have to make a choice for what’s good for the country, and it’s much better not to have the Republicans control everything.” With solid supporters like DNC Chairman Dean, who needs enemies? We can see the Tarrant campaign commercial now, featuring Ho-Ho’s semi-endorsement: “I like Rich Tarrant. I think he’s a very good guy!” — DNC Chairman Howard Dean.

Kick Me, Kate — The former top aide to Gov. Howard Dean responded to our call last week, but unfortunately it was after Seven Days hit the street. As we reported, Kate O’Connor has signed on as campaign manager for Peter Shumlin of Putney. Shummy wants the House seat Bernie is giving up to run for the Senate. Ms. O’Connor was particularly upset with comments made here about her breakup with Howard Dean following the evaporation of his 2004 presidential bid. “The fact of the matter is,” wrote Ms. O’Connor via email, “that after 14 years of working in the governor’s office, setting up and working on a PAC [remember the Fund for a Healthy America?] and a presidential campaign, I needed a break. “What people forget,” wrote Kate, “is that I started the whole presidential stuff back in 2001, two years before anybody else came on board! I spent the last year and a half of the campaign traveling around the country, only visiting Vermont one day a week. So I was fried when the whole thing was over.” As for her current relationship with her former longtime boss, O’Connor wrote, “I am very supportive of anything Howard does. In fact, I was at the DNC meeting in February when he was elected chair. I was there per a personal invitation from Howard, and I sat with Judy. “Can we move on,” asked Kate, “and talk about Peter Shumlin?” Who?

Shellshocked — We’ve had the dream since landing in Burlap back in 1979 — about one day hopping on a passenger train at Union Station and hopping off at Penn Station in the Big Apple. At the July meeting of the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization, Chairman Bob Penniman of Jericho dropped a bombshell. Penniman said he had always been told by VTrans, the state transportation agency, that the owner of the 7.8-mile Winooski Line, which runs from the lakefront station to Essex Junction, wasn’t interested in upgrading the line to meet Amtrak standards. The rail bed is owned by Canadian National and leased to New England Central Railroad, which is owned by Rail America,

a national rail giant. Frustrated, Penniman recently set up his own meeting with the local point person for NECR. What he heard, said Penniman, left him “shell-shocked.” That’s because, he said, NECR vice-president Charlie Moore told him the railroad is eager to upgrade the line and is even willing to put up its own money to get the matching funds! Canadian National was not the problem, he was told. The problem was that VTrans wasn’t interested. “I was absolutely floored,” said Penniman. He said it was “unconscionable” that VTrans was still putting out information that the line upgrade simply wasn’t doable. Penniman said NECR’s Moore had cited “chapter and verse” about how Rail America regularly provides the 20 percent match to get 80 percent federal funding for track improvements. “Shame on VTrans,” Moore told “Inside Track” this week. He said that with an upgraded track, the current St. Albans-to-New York Amtrak train, “The Vermonter,” could be backed into Burlington and out again without delaying the arrival time at Penn Station. The total cost, said Moore, would be $1.3 million. According to the current Amtrak schedule, “The Vermonter” departs Essex Junction daily at 9 a.m. and arrives at Penn Station at 6:25 p.m. Charlie Miller, the rail operations manager at VTrans, told “Inside Track” he first heard something about NECR’s proposal in an email a few months ago. He said he has “not gotten that kind of commitment” directly from NECR as yet. Informed of NECR’s proposal, Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle said he’d certainly support it. But the mayor noted that the Amtrak train from Essex Junction to New York City is a “very slow” train ride — almost 10 hours’ travel time. In recent years, said Clavelle, the goal has been to upgrade the track from Rutland to Charlotte. He’s hoping the recently adopted federal transportation bill will provide the funds — about $10 million — to do it. That route would get Burlington riders to Manhattan in six hours. In the meantime, wouldn’t an upgraded Winooski Line that won Amtrak service to Burlington’s Union Station be an improvement over no downtown passenger train service at all?

Bureau Chief Not Fired! — Despite his passionate prediction, Vermont Press Bureau chief Darren Allen did not get fired last week. Mr. Allen, who heads the state capital bureau of the Rutland Herald and Times Argus, claimed our mention in this column of a certain item he had posted and later removed from his online blog would likely prompt his dismissal. Allen’s Vermont politics blog, called “Hall Monitor,” appears on the websites of both newspapers. A July 12 item he posted included

Midd-East Arab culture is the hot topic at summer school

iddlebury College is quintessential New England, so wandering into its Arabic School on a summer morning presents a shock. The tables in the Hepburn Hall lounge are covered with copies of Lebanese newspaper Al Hayat. The TV STORY is tuned to Qatar-based al Jazeera. CATHY RESMER Labels in sinuous Arabic calligraphy have been taped over the men’s and women’s signs on the bathroom doors. IMAGE MATTHEW No one is speaking English. Upon THORSEN arrival, students take a pledge promising to communicate only in Arabic 24/7, for the duration of their stay. Arabic is one of nine languages — including Russian, French and Chinese — taught in Middlebury’s Summer Language Schools. These nine-week courses attract English-speaking applicants from all over the world. While some students receive financial aid, most

MAHMOUD ABDALLA

are willing to pay nearly $7500 for the privilege of learning a language through the Intensive Immersion method. Not surprisingly, since 9/11, applications to the Arabic School are way up. At a time when the U.S. military is fighting wars in two Middle Eastern countries — as well as struggling to decipher intelligence regarding terrorist threats here at home — government workers, translators and instructors fluent in Arabic are in dangerously short supply. Arabic School Director Mahmoud Abdalla says his specialty is definitely hot. “The demand for Arabic is really great,” he says, “and it’s increasing rapidly.” Abdalla points out that students don’t come to Middlebury just to learn the language — they’re here to immerse themselves in the culture as well. They

eat Middle Eastern food, listen to Middle Eastern music, and watch Middle Eastern movies. It’s likely they’ll have seen at least one film starring reknowned Egyptian actor Nour El-Sherif, who will deliver the Language School commencement address on August 12. Middlebury’s Arabic School students also discuss the history of the East-West conflicts that are tearing at the fabric of 21st-century society. And though Abdalla appears relaxed in his jeans and button-down shirt, there’s an intensity in his wide brown eyes that seems appropriate for someone facilitating this task. He says he sees in his students “a sense of responsibility, a commitment, the need to know about ‘the other.’” Sounds like a kind of educated patriotism, though he doesn’t call it that. “They feel

that they’re really doing something great for the country,” he says. The director doesn’t mind sharing that insight in English, as long as none of the students is within earshot; there’s a prohibition against disturbing their all-Arabic aural environment. “We’re not supposed to speak English here,” he whispers as he checks to see if the coast is clear. Abdalla, a native of Egypt, has been the head of Middlebury’s Arabic summer school since 1995. During the academic year, he’s an assistant professor of Arabic at Wayne State University in Detroit, a city with the highest concentration of Arabic speakers outside of the Middle East. He has also taught at Washington University in St. Louis, and at universities in Denmark and in London. Many of his fellow instructors also hail from overseas, from countries such as Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and Iraq. “I know how special this program is,” Abdalla says of his post at Middlebury. Since its inception in 1982, the Arabic School has earned a reputation as a Mecca — so to speak — for those eager to cram a wealth of knowledge about Arabic and Middle-Eastern culture into a short period of time. Though applications have increased in the past few years, Abdalla doesn’t want to sacrifice the program’s quality, so instead of ballooning, it’s simply become more selective. This year, 121 students enrolled in the program, 90 percent of them graduate or undergraduate students pursuing degrees in Arabic-related studies. Abdalla acknowledges a handful of government employees sprinkled throughout the 11 classes. And he suspects that some of the others will seek government-related careers. But he dismisses the rumor that half the school works for the CIA. “We are not a government school,” he says. When pressed, he admits that it’s possible the CIA is enrolling covert operatives. “Officially, we have a student coming from Harvard,” he notes. “How can you know?” The breadth of the immersion experience is on display in the corridors of Hepburn Hall. Abdalla quietly narrates a short tour of the building, translating some of the hand-written Arabic signs that decorate the walls. “This one says, ‘Life is sweet in Middlebury,’” he murmurs. He points to a bulletin board plastered with photos of students participating in co-curricular cultural activities. These include clubs for cooking, learning calligraphy and studying the Koran. Abdalla says it’s a measure of the students’ devotion that they don’t actually have to participate in many of the extra activities, but most do. “We just announce it, and everybody’s there,” he says. Several photos depict athletic matches; the school encourages students to learn sports vocabulary. A cheat sheet of English-Arabic translations accompanies

Another captures a participant in a volleyball match. According to Abdalla, the caption reads, “a very dangerous serve.” These lighthearted images hang beside schedules for Jewish and Christian worship services, and near the current events section of the board. The instructors post news stories there in Arabic, to help students keep up with what’s going on in the world. Abdalla doesn’t translate the top story, but he doesn’t need to. The photos say it all. They show two bloodied, blindfolded men — Algerian diplomats kidnapped and killed last week by alQaida operatives in Iraq. The contrast between these images and the volleyball shots couldn’t be more striking.

elongated vowels and throaty consonants, but without a translation, it’s impossible to know what he’s saying. He clearly says the words “computer,” “Internet” and “imam,” though. It’s difficult to imagine that novices can follow him, but most of them laugh at his jokes, and a few raise their hands to ask questions. If beginners can keep up with his conversational style, the immersion method must be pretty successful.

Vermonters have died and been put in the ground behind the college.’” Bandy reports he’s also enjoyed practicing different Arabic dialects with the teachers and their families during mealtimes — the instructors often mingle with their students outside of class. Abdalla touts these interactions among the things that make Middlebury special. Teachers routinely sacrifice their alone time to help students. “They do it consciously, because they love it,” he says. “This is amazing.” Michelle Forman, named the country’s 2001 Teacher of the Year, attended summer school at Middlebury three years in a row, 1997, 1998 and 1999. She teaches

The contrast between these images and the volleyball shots couldn’t be more striking. Abdalla’s tour concludes in a classroom in another building, where the novices in Levels 1, 1.5 and 2 question a guest lecturer from the University of MichiganFlint. Each Wednesday, a different speaker addresses topics such as Islam in America and the role of women. On Thursday, the classes divide into two groups — novices and more advanced speakers — for a chance to ask followup questions. The large seminar room is packed with mostly twentysomething men and women in polo shirts, T-shirts, khaki shorts and flip-flops. A couple students with crew cuts stand out, as do the three women wearing hejabs. But for the most part, this group looks no different from the Midd kids who sit here during the school year. The professor introduces himself and says a few words before opening the floor. You can tell he’s speaking Arabic from the

Swarthmore College sophomore Hunter Bandy, who enrolled in the program to prepare for his upcoming semester in Syria, says it’s definitely helpful. In an email — apparently the language pledge doesn’t extend to electronic communication — Bandy writes, “immersion forces you to learn.” Bandy has studied Arabic before, and tested into Level 2. “You start the program being humbled by your infantile linguistic capacities,” he writes, “so you force yourself to say things other than ‘I like Arab history and live with two brothers and both parents in a beautiful part of town.’” Bandy explains that when he doesn’t know the Arabic word he needs, he just gives as much context as he can and hopes his listener will figure it out. Once, instead of saying, “I studied in the cemetery,” he said, “I studied in ‘the outside place where all the

an extracurricular Arabic class at Middlebury Union High School, and spoke recently on an alumni panel at the Arabic School. She believes language skills are essential in trying to make sense of why people in other countries act the way they do. “You really can’t understand someone else’s culture without understanding something about the language,” she says. “If we understand someone’s language, it’s much more difficult for us to walk away from people and say, ‘That’s just the way they are.’” The award-winning instructor started studying Arabic 10 years ago, after her high school students expressed an interest in it. She’s pleased to see this increased interest in learning the language. “It helps us understand the complexities of the culture,” she says. “We understand how much they’re like us.” At Middlebury, they’re doing everything they can to keep that lesson from getting lost in translation. m

Ramblin’ Man Music preview: Utah Phillips

tah Phillips looks a bit like Santa Claus, and he’s probably just as friendly. But while Mr. Kringle is something of a capitalist icon, folk legend Phillips is an unabashed lefty — a man whose commitment to political activism is rivaled only STORY CASEY by his storytelling gifts. The 70-year-old songwriter has been REA hopping trains, protesting and generally Utah Phillips, living the life of a troubadour tramp since the 1960s. Phillips’ rugged, golden voice Champlain Valley Folk is a part of the tapestry of American Festival, music — he’s got 12 albums under his Kingsland Bay, belt and has appeared on more than 73 Ferrisburgh, compilations. He also has a strong conAugust 5 & 7. nection to Vermont, having lived in a Info, www.cvfest.org. caboose while recording for the legendary,

Ferrisburgh-based Philo label. Utah will be back on his old Green Mountain stomping grounds for several performances at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival at Kingsland Bay park this weekend. You might say Phillips’ vocation was predestined. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, to a family of labor organizers and radicals, he had ample opportunity to witness the reallife struggles and victories of those involved in leftist causes. After hopping trains as a teen, he served in the army in Korea, an experience that shaped his pacifism. Running for U.S. Senate on the Peace & Freedom Party ticket in 1968, Phillips managed to win more than 6000 votes — which spooked some government offi-

cials. Blacklisted for his political views, he was unable to find employment in his then-home state of Utah. Never one to give up, Phillips supported himself as a folk singer, riding the rails across the country and bringing his tales of old-time labor unions and hobos to anyone who would listen. These days, a heart condition keeps Phillips from performing more than once a month. He nevertheless remains active in the peace movement, both in his own community of Nevada City, California, and the world at large. Phillips hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program that is broadcast free of charge to community radio stations by Pacifica — a non-com-

mercial radio-content provider. His friendship with neo-folk goddess Ani DiFranco has exposed a whole new generation of listeners to his work. A four-CD boxed set of Phillips’ music, Starlight on the Rails: A Songbook, was recently released. The set includes his personal reflections on each tune, captured in his amiable and intelligent vernacular. Seven Days recently spoke with the folk hero from his West Coast home. SEVEN DAYS: You once lived in a railroad car outside the Philo Records barn in Ferrisburgh. How did that come about? UTAH PHILLIPS: I did indeed. I made three records there — Philo was like a big family. A friend of mine got a handle on a “scraper car,” which is like a large caboose that’s used for scraping ice off the rails. It was a big, old, wooden one out at the St. Albans yard. So I bought it and did some work — we weren’t making a lot of money then, and I was just a traveling folk singer. But I saved up some money and bought it for $500. And then I saved up more money, about a thousand dollars, to have the thing hauled out to Philo by flatbed truck . . . we had to lay down about 50 feet of track. So we had kind of a track-laying party. There was no electricity, but I had a hand-crank Victrola, a beautiful Sonora, and a bunch of old Enrique Caruso 78s. SD: How did it go over with the locals? UP: Thing was, it was sitting in the township of Monkton Ridge and, at that time, the state had passed a consolidatingdevelopment ordinance for housing. And the caboose didn’t fit into that plan. So Monkton Ridge decided that because it didn’t fit the plan, it didn’t belong there. So I said, “Well, this thing is huge, and it weighs a hell of a lot. It’d be really hard for you to move it, should you decide that it’s illegal.” And they said they’d just get some Army Reserve helicopters over there and just drop it in Lake Champlain! SD: That’s ridiculous. UP: Yeah. Well, the head of the Chittenden Bank over there turned out to be a huge railroad buff. He had pictures of trains all over his walls. He was part of the Champlain Valley Rail Historical Society. So I went and sang for their group. And then I sang for all these other civil groups in Monkton Ridge. I sort of ingratiated myself with these people. Finally, they said, “OK, we’ll designate this as a hunting camp,” which means that you can only live there a certain number of months out of the year. And I said, “Hell, I’m not around that much anyway!” But I intend to visit whoever’s living there when I get back to Vermont. SD: You knew Bernie Sanders a little bit, too. UP: I talked to Bernie on a number of occasions about what appeared to be an open hall in your city building. And there was an immediate need for a mediumsized venue in Burlington. Either we could play at Hunt’s, or the organization

that was sponsoring an event could rent one of the local churches. And I played at a lot of those. But we thought that City Hall would be a great place for contra dances and concerts. So I talked with Bernie Sanders when he was the mayor about opening it up for performances. And they did. SD: Itâ€™s still being used for that purpose. UP: Oh, I am very happy to hear that! SD: Having spent so many years in the struggle for labor rights and worker equality, whatâ€™s your opinion about the shift in the labor force to serviceindustry jobs? UP: The whole thing is a sack full of puppy doo. We rant and rave about patriotism, and then we destroy Youngstown, Ohio, by get-

something other people can sing. You donâ€™t sing down to them. Joe was writing at the turn of the last century â€” a time when most of the industrial workers were immigrants and didnâ€™t speak much English. Did you know that the International Workers of the World [of which Hill was a member] is 100 years old? Iâ€™ve been a member for 51 of those years. When I lived in Utah I was a state archivist, before I got blacklisted. So I got to go through all of Joe Hillâ€™s files, and the appeals from President Woodrow Wilson for a new trial. There were 75,000 letters, and I went through all of â€™em. Joe Hill was executed in the old Salt Lake City prison, which was later torn down and turned onto a public park. Well, since I worked in archives, I knew what the floor plans were. So I could pretty much pace out where the kitchen chair was that he was tied up and shot in. One night at

ting our steel overseas. I mean, who are the real savage hordes, who are the real non-patriots in this whole thing? Youâ€™ve got steel workers, who were proud of their work, now flipping burgers to keep up on mortgages that they canâ€™t even conceivably begin to pay. SD: How do you feel about the recent fracturing of the AFL-CIO? UP: Oh, I am very happy about it. Iâ€™ve been in the labor movement all my life, and Iâ€™ve been keeping track of this verse and chapter for a long time. This really needed to happen. The CIO developed in 1935 as a whole bunch of unions organizing industrially, rather than by craft. They were built around the idea of industrial unionism and real rankand-file organizing. And they were successful. But they nearly were redbaited out of existence in the McCarthy era of the â€™50s. They were forced to become part of the AFL. Those were the fruits of the cold war. So this is like a rebirth of the CIO. These people from the CIO are saying that too much is going into political action committees and not enough into workplace organizing drives. The AFL has always been the real labor elite, but there are a whole lot of people in the service industries, like fast food, that need to be organized. This is a real shot in the arm for those down at the bottom. SD: I recently had the privilege of learning a little bit about [martyred labor leader and protest singer] Joe Hill. What kind of influence did he have on your life? UP: One of the greatest things I learned from Joe Hill was as a songwriter. Keep it simple,

midnight I went out there in the pouring rain, confused about what I was going to do with myself. I couldnâ€™t see any future at all. But I stood in that spot, and looked at the sky. And thatâ€™s when I decided to take up the trade that Iâ€™m in now. Joe said, â€œTheyâ€™re gonna kill me in jail or out, so stop wasting money on me. Put it to work keeping those presses rolling and getting people into a fighting union.â€? He wrote himself off. Real hard to find leaders like that in our political movements today. SD: Do you believe that violence is ever justified? UP: No, I donâ€™t think violence is ever justified. I am a pacifist. But I embrace non-violence for the same reason that a recovering alcoholic stays away from the bottle. Because I have a lot of violent, angry feelings in me, I have to be a pacifist for the same reasons an alcoholic has to give up alcohol â€” because otherwise you wind up dead. SD: How do you maintain an oral tradition in this age of digital media? UP: I maintain it by turning on the radio to see if weâ€™re at war or not, and then getting ready to go to jail if we are! If weâ€™re not, I turn all that stuff off, go downtown and talk to people. The world Iâ€™ve created for myself is made up of speakers and listeners. Thatâ€™s why at this festival Iâ€™m going to, Iâ€™m not going to be sitting in some green room. Iâ€™m gonna wander around and see what people think and feel. People give me ideas, they give me songs; they tell me dumb jokes that I can hopefully turn into good jokes! Thatâ€™s the juice that keeps me alive. m

Hope Flows Hip-hop preview: Saul Williams

S STORY

CATHY RESMER Saul Williams performs at the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival, Chilly Ranch, Albany, Vermont. August 5 & 6. Info, http://www. nekmf.com.

aul Williams is an actor, a writer and L.A. Weekly’s “best hip-hop artist” of 2005. But contrary to popular belief, the 33year-old native of Newburgh, New York — who will perform in Albany, Vermont, at this weekend’s Northeast Kingdom Music Fest — claims he’s not a slam poet. It’s an easy mistake to make. Williams first garnered national attention as the 1996 Nuyorican Poet’s Café Grand Slam Champion. He stole the show as a member of the 1996 Nuyorican Poet’s Café team in the documentary Slam Nation. He also starred in the indie film Slam, which won the 1998 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize, and the Cannes’ Camera d’Or. In fact, Williams insists he’s only competed in five slams in his life — people just happened to make movies of them. But if he doesn’t belong to the slam scene, Williams doesn’t fully belong to Hollywood or to hip-hop, either. His body of work includes three books of poetry, two music CDs and roles in K-PAX and the forthcoming TV movie Lackawanna Blues. He has lectured and read at universities around the world, and his poetry appears on high school and college syllabi. He proudly resists categorization.

After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Morehouse College, Williams took a Master’s in acting from New York University. He began reading his writing at open mikes in 1995, and after his slam stint, began putting his words to music. His 2001 musical debut, Amethyst Rock Star, was named “album of the year” by The Times of London. He released a self-titled CD in 2004, and toured this past summer in Europe as the opening act for, oddly enough, the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. Williams’ rhymes are simultaneously street-savvy, political and cerebral. His “Act III Scene 2 (Shakespeare)” from Saul Williams includes a shout-out to U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq: “And this one goes out to my man, taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand, then gets home and no one flinches when he can’t feed his fam. But Brutus is an honorable man.” His flow is also more full of hope than the average Glock-cocked spew. In “PG,” Williams professes, “Ain’t from the streets of Compton. Ain’t from no prison yard. Ain’t got no guns or weapons. Hell, nigga, I ain’t hard. I’d rather help than fight you. I’d >> 24A

rather hug than swing. I know where diamonds come from and ain’t about to bling.” Michael Driver of DrownedInSound. com cites that lyric in his review of one Williams’ recent London shows. Says Driver, “Saul Williams is hip-hop’s shining hope in an epic blackness of blasé boasters and bling-ed booty callers.” Seven Days spoke to Williams over the phone from his home in Los Angeles. SEVEN DAYS: So you don’t bling. What do you do? SAUL WILLIAMS: The only reason I’m not that heavily into it is because I have no real desire to relive my adolescence. When I was 13, I got jumped in Buffalo, New York. I’m quite aware of why I got jumped. I was wearing two Swatches, a fake Gucci little pouch around my neck, I had on a Name ring,

school, I read The Autobiography of Malcolm X. And later on I read The Temple of My Familiar, the sequel to The Color Purple by Alice Walker. All of these things, so many things, too many to list. I guess what distinguishes me is the fact that I’ve expected and desired that growth. I’ve looked for it. I’ve sought after it. SD: You’re an actor, a poet and a musician. Are all of these aspects of work related to each other? SW: I believe they’re all connected. For the most part, the through line is performance. I think of myself as a performer. Even when I’m writing, I’m writing something that I’m really looking forward to performing. SD: Your work has enabled you to interact backstage with a wide variety of artists and per-

and feelings and thoughts . . . because I believe that it’s important that all voices be heard. And for that reason, I don’t really have anything bad to say about the commercial empire, as it exists, other than if you want it to be different, then it’s you that has to make it different. SD: There’s traditionally been a divide between the performance poets and the academic poets. Have you built any bridges over that one? SW: I think the main connection I have with them is the number of students who go to those people and tell them that they need to be reading or teaching me. And so then, as a result, I end up connecting with them. But that’s pretty much the extent of it. SD: Have you ever thought about publishing your work in

a Name plate, a Name bracelet, another ring with a clock on it, a Guess watch on my arm, and a little gold rope. There was a point in my life when that was what was essentially important to me. And it just isn’t now. SD: What changed you? SW: Maturity. I mean, what makes someone mature? Experience, growing tired of something, learning more, understanding more, being exposed to more. I’m sure you may be who you are now, but there may have been a time in your life when you were watching “Full House” or something . . .

SD: And worse. SW: Well what was it that made you change? Time. Understanding. Evolution. SD: You’ve said you’re the son of a preacher and a schoolteacher, and you have an eclectic academic background. Did you have mentors or experiences along the way that led you towards your political or academic interests? SW: There’s a million and one things that I can point to. My oldest sister — who’s about nine years older than me — when I was in the tail end of elementary school, she was entering college. She was an activist while she was in school, primarily against the apartheid regime, which was still happening then. She would come home and demand that the family boycott certain products. And she definitely heightened my political awareness. When I was in high school, I was an exchange student to Brazil. That exposed me to a lot. When I was in junior high

formers, from the artsy slam poets, to actors Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey, to Trent Reznor. These artists seem so different. Are they alike at all? SW: Mostly I think I’ve interacted with people who take their work much more seriously than they take themselves. I know for me, I can be like a child, talking about a new book or a new song I’ve worked on. I get really excited. And I find that other people are the same way. SD: After seeing Slam Nation years ago, I would never have guessed that you’d be on tour with Nine Inch Nails. It seems like a big jump to me, a completely different genre. SW: My work bleeds into many different worlds. I find people [who appreciate my work] in the more “hippie” world of activism and jam bands — people who like Ani Di Franco, and String Cheese Incident. And then when I do hip-hop, it’s “Saul Williams and Blackalicious.” Which is cool. But although my work filters into that world, I am not exclusive to that world . . . being an African-American male, I just don’t do real well with confinement. SD: Clearly. You’ve definitely managed to avoid being pigeonholed into the poetry scene. SW: For six years now my books have been published by MTV. I can’t act like I’m not a part of the mainstream in that sense — I am. And that’s a goal of mine. I don’t do this to be a part of a periphery existence. My aim is to reach as many people as possible with these ideas

more traditional poetry venues? SW: I was approached by more academic presses. And I’ve chosen to go the other route. It’s a choice on my part. I’ve been approached by Norton. SD: You would prefer to be published by MTV than by Norton? SW: Yes. Primarily because I’m after a demographic. I’m interested in reaching people. Either way, it’s not going to change the caliber of the work. MTV has never questioned anything I’ve desired to publish. All they’ve done is put commercials on the station for it. I prefer to reach people. I prefer to be aligned with the living than with the dead. SD: What’s your next project? SW: My next book is coming out though MTV in February. It’s called The Dead Emcee Scroll. And I’m working on an EP right now, which is something like a musical companion to the book. SD: What’s your live show like? SW: Um, fun? I wouldn’t describe it. I perform. SD: But I’ve never seen it, and I want to give people an idea what to expect. SW: It walks a fine line between punk and hip-hop, just like the music. I mean, I’m a performer. Even though I’m known for writing poetry, I think that my work resonates the most with people who have seen me recite it, and the same thing goes with the music. It’s really about the performance. m

When the Burlington, and maestro is “conducting” the oldest, August 20, 8 p.m. at the Vergennes most common, finicky sound source: the human voice? Opera House, Robert De Cormier, 83, leads the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Chorus, with 80 to 100 singers from all over the state. He started the group in 1993. De Cormier also founded Counterpoint, Vermont’s only professional choral ensemble, in 2000. The dozen-strong chamber group focuses on performing and recording seldom-heard repertoire, with a special commitment to contemporary composers and music related to the Holocaust. De Cormier is remarkably low-key when discussing the jaw-dropping highlights of a 60-year career. His credits include conducting, composing and arranging for Harry Belafonte, Peter, Paul and Mary, three Broadway shows and an Alvin Ailey ballet, and 17 years as music director of the New York Choral Society. De Cormier realized he wanted to be a conductor during World War II. Wounded in Germany, he was hospitalized for a year and a half. The latter part of his convalesence was in New York, where he got involved with the New York City Labor Chorus. De Cormier was trying to choose between labor organizing and music when one night after a rehearsal the conductor took him out for a drink and told him, “You’re going to go back into music, and you’re going to go and audition for Juilliard,” De Cormier says. “And I did,” he reports, “but always with the idea that I would use my music in that way, and that choral music was a way of uniting people, of expressing your own political point of view and about whole issues of social justice.” Dawn Willis, 47, is the assistant conductor of the VSO Chorus. She speaks glowingly of De Cormier. Just as he created Counterpoint to provide another outlet for the VSO’s core of pro-quality singers, Willis started Bella Voce because many VSO women were eager to sing in an allfemale choir. In early 2004, the group went “from passing thought . . . to a performing ensemble of 34 women” in a matter of weeks. Willis downplays the significance of being a woman in the male-dominated

field of conducting; of 10 students in her choral music doctoral program, she was the only female. Yet part of her mission clearly is mentoring other women in music. This spring Bella Voce held joint concerts with Kaleidoscope, the women’s chorus from Essex High School; its conductor doubles as Willis’ assistant director. Willis was a teenager when she started conducting, for a children’s choir at the local church. “I really caught the bug at that time,” she says. “It just has always been a love, a passion of mine. I love working with peo-

ple, I like making music with people.” William Metcalfe has a doctorate in history, not music. In 1998 he retired from UVM after 35 years of teaching; conducting has never been his “day job.” His Oriana Singers, a small, high-caliber early-music choir, is entering its 25th year. Metcalfe also conducts frequently at the Mozart Festival. This year both the Oriana singers and the Vermont Gilbert and Sullivan Singers, which he also directs, are performing. Metcalfe’s wife Elizabeth is the region’s go-to harpsichordist.

Like Willis, Metcalfe also cut his conducting teeth while in high school. The music teacher who conducted Gilbert and Sullivan shows “stuck a baton in my hand at one point and said, ‘I can’t do this rehearsal, will you do it for me?’” Metcalfe recalls, then amends his thought. “Actually he probably just said, ‘Do it,’ and I did.” Recently Seven Days asked DeCormier, Willis and Metcalfe about their unusual vocation and what drew them to it in the first place.

The most important thing the conductor does is to provide a concept . . . so that he can teach the players or the singers what that music is really all about. ROBERT DE CORMIER WILLIAM METCALFE

good musicians. And yet there are times when a conductor can help: setting tempo, in transitional periods, and then that sort of mysterious business about whether or not the musicians are inspired to play their best, and enjoy playing their best. Sometimes they’re more highly charged and inspired, and I think a conductor can supply a level of energy and focus that maybe helps. SD: Anything else about choral conducting that readers might be surprised to know? ROBERT DE CORMIER: I feel very fortunate and blessed even to be able to have had this long, wonderful relationship with music and people . . . There are choruses wherever you go, all over the world, and you have an almost instantaneous relationship with those people because there is this bond between people who sing in groups.

SEVEN DAYS: How did you come to focus on choral conducting over orchestral conducting? ROBERT DE CORMIER: Both the fact that I was a singer, and that I thought the chorus was a way to express something that was very special, a way of bringing people together. DAWN WILLIS: The whole concept of the text has always been a particularly interesting and inspiring part of the puzzle for me. The texts give us meaning in so many ways. Of course, the music does, too, but I feel like the wedding of those two factors is what’s particularly exciting for me. And I love it that so many people can sing and share in that experience, whereas sometimes orchestral opportunities are limited to those who have had a good bit of musical training. WILLIAM METCALFE: I suppose because I had done work with voices when I was starting to conduct, and, let’s face it, it’s a lot easier to start a small choir than it is to get an orchestra going, and to pay an orchestra, and so there are more opportunities available if you want to conduct choirs.

of the music, so that he can teach the players or the singers what that music is really all about. DAWN WILLIS: I’m thinking significantly ahead from where the current music is happening, because the conductor is responsible for the next measure, and generally has the next five to 10 measures in her head prior to their arrival . . . The lushness of the moment is always colored a bit by the preparation — you’re thinking about what lies ahead. WILLIAM METCALFE: In fact, of course, conductors do both less than beating time and more. Establishing tempo is very important, it’s crucial to how a piece ends up sounding. I think that the tempi chosen . . . give life to a piece, or they suck the life out of it if they’re wrong . . . My approach to conducting is, the medical rule applies: First, do no harm . . . A conductor can screw things up fairly quickly, even with very seasoned,

DAWN WILLIS: Conducting for me is so satisfying because it isn’t just about me. It’s about a collective effort . . . Performing well on your own is incredibly exciting, but to help others do it all together as a single body is incredibly satisfying, and not easy. But when it works, there’s really nothing else that compares to it . . . Choirs oftentimes are very giving; people tend to be there because they want to be there. It’s not just a paying gig for them, but a chance to share their heart and soul. And that’s what it is to be human, and that’s why music touches all of us. WILLIAM METCALFE: Choral singing is as compelling to the people who do it as playing golf, playing tennis, playing basketball, can be . . . There is a terrific high that people in the performing arts get out of performing, and enough of that high runs back through the rehearsal period to keep you going. The real high comes when you actually perform for people. 쩾

<CAMP>

Dear Camp Sleepaway sage Laurie Kahn salutes summers past

used to think I was the only girl in America who spent 10 months a year pining for summer camp. My annual refuge, Hawkeye Trail Camps, in a desolate corner of the Adirondacks, was a dramatic STORY departure from my home in suburban PAULA Maryland. Instead of screens, most of us ROUTLY relied on mosquito nets for bug and bat protection. There were no showers, so we IMAGES washed up once a week in the lake. A sinCOURTESY gle telephone — on a party line — served OF the 80-odd campers. The camp cook LAURIE made three meals a day on a woodstove. KAHN The boy with whom I shared my first kiss came down with impetigo and was quarSleepaway: The Girls of antined for a week. Summer and the Camp may not have been high on the Camps They health inspector’s list, but for us, it was Love, by Laurie paradise — a wonderland, promoted by Susan Kahn. word of mouth, where uniqueness was Workman Publishing, 242 celebrated and encouraged. “Troubled” pages. $15.95. kids thrived in this surrogate family. Who knew adults could be so cool? On Share your epic canoe trips and hikes, our counselors camp stories offered outdoor leadership lessons that by emailing laurie@ went down as easy as s’mores. These sleepaway.net underpaid adults came back year after year. Until 1978, when our camp director died unexpectedly over the winter. Without so much as a mailing list, we all went our separate ways. I entered adulthood lamenting the loss, convinced that camp’s ongoing significance in my life was a result of circumstances unique to me. That is, until I saw Sleepaway, Vermonter Laurie Kahn’s coffee-table book about “the girls of summer and the camps that they love.” With gorgeous archival

photos and remarks from girl-camp alums of all ages, Kahn shows how crucial the camp experience has been for countless women whose identities were forged in female solidarity, singing silly songs, short-sheeting beds and capturing the flag. Next year she plans to launch a quarterly magazine on the same theme for current and erstwhile girl campers — whether their summers were single-sex or co-ed. Everybody has a camp story. That’s what Kahn discovered when she set out to make a documentary about Camp Kear-Sarge, in New Hampshire, which she attended for nine years. It also closed abruptly in the ’70s, like mine, and Kahn fell out of touch with her bunkmates. Twenty-eight years later, in 1998, she decided to track down the “lost girls of Kear-Sarge.” It was no amateur, handheld-camera endeavor: For 10 years, Kahn, a self-described “big shot on Madison Avenue,” was director of radio and television production at the Young & Rubicam ad agency. “Not only did I discover that women had been deeply affected and carried this experience of Kear-Sarge in their hearts,” says Kahn, 57, “but when I talked to people about what I was doing — women I would meet in restaurants or hotels or whatever — they’d want to tell me their camp stories . . . I came to see the universality of the experience as very important. So I did a book proposal.” Kahn’s own camp story holds Sleepaway together. Her personal intro-

ductions launch each of the eight chapters, which roughly follow the camp stages from “And Away We Go” to “And Why We Went.” Her straightforward prose and detail-rich descriptions set the book’s frank and honest tone. But most of the material comes from other narrators, who shared their memories and insights with Kahn. A timely newspaper article announced her project. Word spread via the Internet. “I sat at home and waited for this avalanche to happen, and it did,” says Kahn, an avowed technophobe. “People told their daughters and their sisters and their aunts. The network was unbelievable.” An email questionnaire saved her considerable editorial legwork. Tracking down the photographs was more physically arduous. Kahn found them in shoeboxes, suitcases, basements and other “precarious” places at camps across the country. She also got her hands on letters sent home, camp songs, recipes, clothing lists from 1920 and 2002. Among the sidebars are a few howtos: a 21-step guide to making a lanyard, for example, and instructions on shortsheeting beds and playing jacks. Kahn wanted the book to have a scrapbook feel and, despite the soft cover, it does: Cutting-edge graphics convey the nostalgia on each artful spread. Big, mostly vintage black-andwhite images bleed off the pages. Pullquotes draw you in with lines such as, “I went from being a wimp to being a winner,” and “I was more uninhibited than I’d ever been anywhere in my life.”

A few passages extend beyond one page, including Diana Trilling’s fascinating account of post-World War I summers at Camp Lenore, where a classical string quartet played every night and the girls danced, Isadora Duncanstyle, in Grecian tunics. In another reminiscence, Judy Page Horton of Texas recalls finding solace at camp after her father committed suicide. She writes, “Here nobody knew about my sick, crazy, dead father. Nobody knew the scandals that made up our life. For five and a half glorious weeks, I was free to be any me I wanted to be.” “I just edited and edited and edited,” Kahn says of the process. Using skills from her career in advertising, “I was able to draw out the jewels and really find the heart and essence of what the women were saying.” And naysaying. Kahn included comments from eloquent camp-haters. Among the voices from “the other side,” as she calls these entries, one makes a reference to Lord of the Flies. “At camp I learned how mean girls can be to each other,” remarks Gerry Penn Wexler, a five-year veteran of Camp Matoaka in Maine. Another disgruntled camper, Sylvia Borenstein, observes, “It was like junior high in a pretty environment.” But there was one big difference between most junior highs and Kahn’s Kear-Sarge or Borenstein’s Seafarer: boys. Aside from a random male instructor here and there, Sleepaway’s faces are all female. Like it or not — and the American Camping Association

SEVEN DAYS | august 03-10, 2005 | feature 29A apparently didn’t; it declined to promote the project — Kahn’s book is a celebration of girls camp and the single-sex philosophy of education behind it. “There is no question that girls do better in same-sex environments, academically,” Kahn reports. The same goes for camp. Surrounded by women, “we lived in an environment where nobody wondered if you were thinner than I am, or prettier than I am, until the day of the dance” — the dreaded “social” gets its own chapter in Sleepaway. The message throughout the book is that women are more likely to find their “authentic selves” in isolation from boys.

Not surprisingly, camp for boys preceded camp for girls, by about 36 years. The male model emerged in 1866, Kahn says, inspired by romanticized accounts of the Civil War. Young ladies picked up their packs around the turn of the century, when the notion of girls sleeping outside was still considered scandalous. Over time, wealthy industrialist families came to see the wisdom of getting their pale-faced children out of the hot city in the summertime. Teachers — who were out of school in July and August — liked the concept, too. So they started working as counselors at early girl camps such as Maine’s Wyonegonic and Vermont’s Aloha, Farwell and Lochearn. Many of them went on to start their own, and the summer-camp tradition spread from the Northeast to North Carolina, Minnesota and Texas. These girl-camp founders, who sometimes had religious affiliations, were pioneers in more ways than one. “The woman who ran my camp was a feminist before Gloria Steinem was born,” Kahn says of Kear-Sarge’s matriarch, Rhoda Booth. “Nobody was burning their bra, but it was the first time for all of us that we were in an environment where women were in charge of everything. They called the shots.

Nobody suggested sisterhood was powerful. I think it was just the way camp worked.” In Sleepaway she writes, “The sanctuary of an all-girls environment was clearly a powerful antidote to the narrowness of what was expected of them as girls in what they called their ‘real life.’” A fellow Kear-Sarge camper confirmed this liberating aspect of life in the woods: “This was an area that I had not been exposed to before: thinking of myself as a someone with possibilities beyond how I looked or whom I could marry. Who I was mattered.” This thinking is not as dated as it sounds. Last summer, on a tour to promote her forthcoming magazine, Kahn visited a number of co-ed camps. She was appalled by the extent to which the girls there were focused on attracting boys. “They’re wearing these trampy little outfits and they’re all flirting and being coy,” she says. “It’s everything you loathed and were afraid of as a seventh-grader — only in the woods, without your parents.” You’d think a crusader like Kahn would start her own summer camp, but Kear-Sarge is “the only camp I ever wanted to run, and own,” she says. She’s considered creating a weeklong camp for adult women, though, and was on the verge of buying a place on New Hampshire’s Pleasant Lake — the former site of Kear-Sarge — when her partner talked her out of it. Kahn recalls, “She said, ‘There are no Jews in this town. There’s not one other gay person. They’re going to think we’re nuts. We’re going to be isolated and unwelcome.’” Kahn, who lives in Burlington, now looks out over a bigger lake than the one that hosted “general swim,” but she’s found a way to keep camp alive all year round. Her magazine, also called Sleepaway, will pick up where the book left off. A prototype shows the first fea-

ture is an advice column. Figuratively speaking, “All you have to do is refuse to close the camp book,” Kahn writes. “I haven’t. Why should I? And why should anyone?” Keeping the book open is one thing, but reading aloud from it is another. For years, I tortured friends and lovers with my camp stories, which, unlike Kahn’s, were co-ed. Eyes would glaze over as I tried to explain the thrill of catching air in a swinging square dance or how perfectly a PB&J goes down on the top of an Adirondack peak. Even more difficult to convey was the quirky, loving spirit of the place. When I got my period for the first time, at 17, word got out, and the boys — who ate in a separate, less civilized dining room — treated me to a congratulatory chant. In the quarter-century that has elapsed since then, I’ve kept my

eye on the Adirondacks. I picked a college with a clear view of the range. Moving north to Burlington brought me even closer to camp, as the crow flies. When the sun drops behind the mountains each night, I know it’s still shining on Silver Lake. I didn’t go back to camp for almost 20 years. The original property was divvied up, in 1978, among four former campers, most of whom had been there before my time. The new arrangement made the place feel private, posted — even when I talked myself into a spontaneous drive-by around 2001. Rental opportunities were limited. Soon after that, though, younger campers — now in the 35-to-50year-old range — started finding each other on the Internet. One old friend of mine popped up in Oakland. Another surfaced in Seattle. As lakeside properties adjacent to the camp have become

available, alums of my generation have started snatching them up. Our 2-year-old Yahoo listserv has 44 members. In May, there was a heated exchange about an old camp activity called “Flaming Broomkill.” Since June, four people have posted their vacation dates “at camp,” inviting others to join them. Last summer, I did. I rented one of the new “camps” — actually an old Adirondack lodge — and spent a week swimming, hiking and visiting old friends for whom this remarkable place was every bit as important as it was for me. It was easy to get a look around. The outdoor pavilion where we held our dances and plays is gone, and many of the original cabins have fallen down. But the fossils of our fun are everywhere: lists of “neat guys” penned onto the rafters, the chipped blue-and-white plates we ate on, even the camper reports counselors wrote up every year.

On epic canoe trips and hikes, our counselors offered outdoor leadership lessons that went down as easy as s’mores.

I barely noticed that it rained almost the entire week and we had to keep a fire going all day to stay warm. Or that the non-camp friends I’d brought along had no interest in hearing yet another boathouse tale. Only one accompanied me to a barbecue hosted by a former counselor. The camp’s de facto

emcee and music director, she’d played the entire score of West Side Story on a piano when we staged it in 1976. I hadn’t seen her for 26 years. They could have served bug juice instead of cocktails that night as a dozen of us gathered around the campfire. Nothing could stop us from bursting into song. m

Hazy, Hot and Humid Happy, and not-so-happy, campers share summer memories

7/11/05 4:27:14 PM

ust as we were planning a summertime feature based on Laurie Kahn’s collective memoir, Sleepaway, Disney CEO Michael Eisner published his recollections in Camp. That just confirmed what Kahn claims, and what we had verified through informal conversations around the office: Everyone seems to have a camp story. Here, then, are some of ours. We hope they’ll resonate, and maybe inspire you to relive your own.

For five summers beginning at age 7, I attended Camp Mar-Lin, a now-defunct sleepaway camp in Windsor, Connecticut. One of the summer’s high points was the Olympic Games, a weeklong competition that pitted the athleticism and enthusiasm of four “countries” against one another. For seven days, we swore our undying allegiance to some country none of us had ever heard of — Ceylon, Fiji, Trinidad or Zaire — and wouldn’t allow our flags to so much as touch the ground lest we’d suffer a national disgrace or unspecified curse. Among the most exciting Olympic events was “Rope Burn.” Held in a dirt parking lot shortly after nightfall, the game involved everyone at camp. Each country was given two ropes strung between two poles. The thinner rope was hung three or four feet off the ground and the second, thicker rope was suspended 12 to 15 feet in the air. The object: Build a bonfire beneath the ropes. Whichever country burned through both ropes first won.

The chants grew louder and more fevered, as the tops of the flames began licking the higher ropes.

...but we like it.

Easier said than done. The higher rope had been soaked overnight in soapy water, so a tall, steady blaze was required to sever it. For several hours (or so it seemed) minions of wood gatherers ventured deep into the forest, searching for downed limbs, while the rest of the team either stoked the fire or cheered from the sidelines. As the night wore on, the chants grew louder and more fevered, as the tops of the flames began licking the higher ropes. The rules prohibited leaning anything against the ropes themselves, so a winning fire had to be both hot and well constructed. A fire that seemed to be

coloring beard styling hand detailing foot overhauls gray management ahead one moment might suddenly collapse onto itself, eliciting a collective groan from its builders and cheers from the competing teams. Rope Burn still feels like a primeval memory for me: several hundred people gathered in a clearing late at night, shouting their lungs out for a fire to reach the sky. In todayâ€™s litigious society, itâ€™s impossible to imagine any camp allowing young campers to wander unescorted through dark, poison-ivy-infested woods in search of kindling, let alone build four bonfires without a fire truck and ambulance parked nearby. But Rope Burn wasnâ€™t only a competition. After the first two teams had completed their tasks, all four teams pooled their firewood and helped burn through the remaining ropes. In the end, it was all about cooperation and teamwork. In the morning everyone was hoarse and spent from all the shouting. KEN PICARD

I spent every July from 1967 to 1969 at Eagle Island in the Adirondacks. The camp served the Girl Scouts of Essex County, New Jersey, and most of the campers were whites from affluent suburbs, like me. But my first year, when I was 10, my unit also included handful of African-American girls who kept mostly to themselves. Word quietly spread that these kids were on scholarship â€” which seemed to explain their bedding. While the rest of us snuggled into flannel-lined sleeping bags and cheerful linens from home, these girls all made up their cots with the same thin, gray blankets: government-issue, I assumed. The scholarship girls also stood out in other ways. After our initial swimming tests, they all placed in Red Caps, which meant they didnâ€™t know how to swim. They did know some things I didnâ€™t, though. After lights-out, the two scholarship girls in my five-person tent told dirty jokes â€” the first Iâ€™d ever heard. When they quipped about a lady letting a man put his â€œthingâ€? in her â€œcrackâ€? and then having a baby, I laughed as loud as everyone else. But I basically had no clue. The only â€œcrackâ€? I could imagine was between the butt cheeks. I spent months afterwards wondering why moms-to-be didnâ€™t poop their offspring into the toilet. The reality of the scholarship girlsâ€™ lives came home to me towards the end of the session. It was barbeque night, and newspapers had been spread

Did I mention that I was a Jersey boy? Out in the middle of Maine? Iâ€™d never seen anything like it. on the dining-hall tables to catch the mess. Most of us simply ate our food, but something on a page caught the attention of one of the scholarship girls. It was a photograph of downtown buildings engulfed in flame. While weâ€™d been whining about the iciness of Saranac Lake and giggling about sex, Newarkâ€™s Central Ward had been engulfed in five days of deadly riots. My tent-mate stared at the picture in disbelief. â€œThatâ€™s the street where I live,â€? she said. RUTH HOROWITZ

When I was 10 or 11 and living in New Jersey, my parents shipped me off to Pine Island Camp, somewhere in the middle of Maine. Our regular sleeping quarters were on a large, platform tent. But on the next-to-last night of the session, we took down the tents and slept under the stars. And I do mean stars. Did I mention that I was a Jersey boy? Out in the middle of Maine? Iâ€™d never seen anything like it. The experience was awesome in the truest sense of the word â€” more powerful than any in my experience, before or since. That night under the stars inspired me to pick up some books on astronomy later in my life. I learned a lot of interesting stuff about red giants, black holes and white dwarfs. But in the end, that information wasnâ€™t nearly as compelling as what happened at camp, when I simply looked up and let in the mystery. RICK WOODS

I went to camp in 1986 and 1987, and both times I almost drowned. The two weeks I spent at Camp Sequoia when I was 11 were actually fun â€” until the last day, when I went tubing with a couple male counselors and my new 11-year-old â€œboyfriend.â€? They were towing me on an innertube behind a motorboat. I was a shorthaired, athletic tomboy, and had just won a prize for taking apart a BB gun and putting it back together faster than anyone at camp. But I thought I should act â€œgirlyâ€? for the guys in the boat. I decided to fall off the innertube. >> 34A

Social prestige at my camp appeared to be based on how many pieces of lanyard jewelry one could make, and how many songs one could sing from the movie Grease.

PAULA ROUTLY (SECOND FROM LEFT), CIRCA 1976 Only I couldnâ€™t just fall off, I had to show off; I dove through the center, while the boat was still moving. Naturally, I got stuck. My legs shot into the air. I kicked frantically. I was helpless, pinned by the rushing water. I couldnâ€™t breathe. It seemed like forever before they stopped dragging me. I came up for air and saw the guys laughing hysterically. It was the most humiliating moment of my life. The next summer my parents sent my sister and me to Camp Shamrock, which was run by the East Detroit Parks and Rec department. The other campers there already knew each other from other summers or public school. My sister and I went to Catholic school in another town and didnâ€™t know anyone. I realized that it would be a miserable week even before weâ€™d left the Rec Center parking lot. One of the girls got on the bus, looked at me, and announced, â€œThis is the girlsâ€™ bus. The boysâ€™ bus is over there.â€? Later that week, that same girl and two of her friends approached me at the edge of the swimming area. Two of them dove under and pulled me down before I could suck in a good breath. The bus girl found my head with her hands and held me under. I thrashed around desperately until they got tired of their game and let me go. They were so mean. I think maybe that bus girl had figured out I had a crush on her. CATHY RESMER

The only time I went to co-ed camp, I was 10, too young to appreciate midnight bunk sneak-outs and sexual tension. My attention was focused on the social pecking order among girls my age, which was as mysterious to me as the hierarchy of some remote Amazon tribe. Social prestige at my Upstate New York liberal Presbyterian camp appeared to me to be based on two factors: how many pieces of lanyard jewelry one could make for oneself and oneâ€™s friends, and how many songs one could sing from the movie Grease. I hadnâ€™t seen Grease, because my momâ€™s friend had told her it was about â€œhoodlums.â€? When a bunkmate rose from her sleeping bag and wailed, â€œI got chills, theyâ€™re vibah-ratinâ€™â€? into an imaginary microphone while writhing in a creepy, prepubescent imitation of Olivia Newton Johnâ€™s sexiness, I wondered if she might be a little crazy. Lanyards were almost as perplexing. Before coming to camp, I had never heard the word or seen one of these flexible plastic cords in Day-Glo colors â€” and Iâ€™ve rarely seen or heard of them since. But at my camp, lanyards were it. You bought your single strings of color at the camp store, where they hung enticingly beside the candy bars. Then you wove them into necklaces, belts and friendship bracelets, using knotting and braiding techniques that seemed as complex to me as computer-system architecture. Over, under, over, around, under . . . watching the colors flash in some experienced girlâ€™s hands, I quickly lost track. I did learn enough of the secret science to produce a couple of bracelets with lumps in the wrong places. But who wanted to wear plastic jewelry, anyway? I wonder if some of my more popular campmates still have their raspberry, tangerine and turquoise bracelets stashed away in a drawer somewhere, reminding them of the days when John Travolta defined cool.

The Last Five Years is a brilliant, funny and ultimately moving portrait of a young marriage. Jason Robert Brown is considered the best of the new generation of composers of musical theater, and his genius is found in every one of this showâ€™s songs. This unusual two-character musical explores the rise and fall of a relationship. We encounter the young man at the beginning of the relationship, and watch as he moves from infatuation to marriage and on to a painful separation. The young woman is first seen at the devastating end of the story, and throughout the musical she works her way back through time, ending up at the night of their first meeting.

When I was 9 and 10, I went to Tibetan Buddhist military camp. My parents have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism since I was born, and my family had actually lived for a while at the meditation center where the camp was held. Camp was a blast. I even enjoyed wearing khaki or olive-green fatigues and secondhand combat boots — bought in the smallest women’s size at the Barre Army-Navy surplus store. Besides ordinary camp stuff like swimming, card games and overcoming fear of outhouses, the daily routine included pre-meal meditation practice and mornings full of marching drills. The camp’s mission was to cultivate compassion and “enlightened warriorship,” but the real focus of the week was to get good at playing Capture-the-Flag in the woods, as preparation for one final, daylong game pitting kids against counselors. This was the day we all looked forward to, thrilled at the idea of 10-to-16-year-olds using sheer stealth and wit to overcome adults twice our age who would never dream of “letting” us win. Other kids rejoiced in battle strategy, but as a shy girl my favorite part was learning to sneak behind “enemy” lines as a spy. I learned how to walk soundlessly through the woods — much easier at age 9 than I find it now — and how to help disguise a troupe with available natural materials. It was exciting to disappear in a clearing, a few kids tucked under a fallen log, sunk into leaf-covered hollows, and ensconced in trees, ready for an ambush. When “the enemy” showed up, we’d pop out to pelt them with flour bags, which marked them as prisoners, out of the game. The whole thing reminded me of Peter Pan’s band of Lost Boys. Believe it or not, the uniforms and drill practice were empowering, and actually lots of fun. After morning reveille, which was usually a boombox blasting the Ghostbusters theme song (“Who ya gonna call?”), a flag-raising ceremony and morning meditation mellowed out the macho-ness. On the surface, the guard members who helped run Sun Camp may have seemed militaristic, but the organization’s motto was — and remains — “Victory Over War.” Amen. MEGHAN DEWALD

<music> LIKE FATHER LIKE SONS :: While they aren’t exactly a tribute act, The

Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash’s wild ’n’ twangy rock managed to impress the Man in Black himself, who gave them his blessings. In addition to Cash, the group takes inspiration from outlaw country legends such as Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard. The band’s rockabilly-tinged tunes are filled with tales of truck stops and asphalt — up-close accounts of life on the road. Fierce and authentic, BSOJC tear the roof off every joint they play. Hear ’em Wednesday, August 10, at Club Metronome, with local barnstormers Chuch.

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

RAISING THE DEAD While I don’t remember what the five stages of grief are, I’m pretty sure the last one is “acceptance.” That is, unless you’re a fan of the Grateful Dead’s late guitar guru Jerry Garcia. Deadheads seem to have a hard time letting go of the nine-fingered noodler, that’s for sure. But who says they have to? Certainly not Blues For Breakfast, the hosts of the decade-old “Jerryfest.” A celebration of Garcia’s lysergic licks and grandfatherly voice, the event has taken place in several different venues since the guitarist’s passing. This year, it’s being held at Nectar’s in Burlington. On August 9 — the anniversary of the day Garcia departed this plane — BFB hit the stage with a bevy of special guests, including keyboardist BLUES FOR BREAKFAST T. Lavitz of Jazz Is Dead and Dixie Dregs, and local six-string phenom Seth Yacovone. While Jerry may have been a “Friend of the Devil,” some of his followers have more angelic intentions. A food drive will be held at the event, sponsored by Conscious Alliance — a socially minded group of jam enthusiasts who travel the country raising money for the hungry. Attendees who donate five cans of food, or five bucks, will get a limited-edition commemorative poster by Jager Di Paola Kemp Design. Pop by to catch Dead-related movies at 8 p.m., and stay for the live music, which kicks off at 9.

BACK TO SCHOOL I received an interesting email the other day from Nate Orshan, who used to play keyboards and sing in a teenage band called The Lawyers back in the mid-1980s. Apparently, the dudes were hot stuff; they won the Burlington Battle of the Bands in 1984 and released an LP the following year. So why should you care? ’Cause they were actually pretty good. In his email, Orshan included a link to an MP3 called “Girls For Reagan.” I have to admit, it’s definitely one of the better pieces of music to come out of the New Wave era. Kind of Devo-esque. Anyway, the band recently got back together to play the Essex High School Class of ’85 reunion, and reportedly it went pretty well. Or at least better than the show they played at the Flynn Theatre back in December of ’85. “It was supposed to be a big deal,” Orshan says of the ill-fated gig. “And it was a big deal — to the 40 or so folks that showed up.” Seems there was a major blizzard that kept most of the group’s fan base in for the night. “There probably aren’t many artists out there who have played the Flynn that can say their audience couldn’t even fill two rows,” Orshan jokes. So how about recording a sequel to their biggest hit? I’m thinking they should call it “Girls For Bush.” “Well, in a rainbow-friendly town like Burlington, that might go over better than expected,” Orshan says. “Wait, did I just think that or say it?” You can check the original at http://www.natosongs.com/the-lawyers-girls-for-reagan.mp3. If you don’t feel like typing in that URL (and who could blame you?) I’ll post a link at my blog, http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate. You no doubt already have that one bookmarked! 1x4-onehalfWEEKLY

I haven’t heard much from local fuzz-rockers User Shorty Patent Co. lately. Well, that’s not entirely true — bandleader Scott Taylor emails me all the time. It’s just that his group has kept a pretty low profile since the release of their debut, Depart So Slow, last year. That might have something to do with the fact that the backing band for the album was none other than Grace YO-YO NIPPLES Potter & the Nocturnals, and they’re currently out conquering America. Taylor’s got a whole new lineup in place for his show opening for Magnolia Electric Co. at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Monday, August 8. Comprising Dan LeFrancois on guitar and keys, Mark McIntire on bass and Steve Sharon on drums, the band has apparently developed a toothier approach to their epic guitar rock. “We aren’t playing anything off of Depart So Slow,” Taylor recently told me. “My new songs are still open-ended, but we take them into more treacherous and exciting points of ecstasy.” The change in approach is due in part to the new technology in8084 Taylor’s guitar rig. “The mothership pedalboard has been tweaked and added to,” SCOTT TAYLOR he explains. “And now there’s a smaller, more white-noise-oriented board as well.” Better clear that runway. Unfortunately, it looks like this might be the last User Shorty gig in Vermont, as Taylor is moving to Portland, Oregon, with his girlfriend. “Rightfully, there will be a name change,” he says. “As of the 8th, User Shorty is dead.” Hope that crazy pedalboard survives.

BAD ROLE MODELS Burlington’s resident comic-savant James Kochalka is the subject of a little write-up in Spin magazine for his brand-new book, the provocatively titled Super F*ckers. The work centers around a group of teenage heroes who probably wouldn’t pass the Justice League of America’s entry exam. According to the article, the protagonists “while away their days, finding creative ways of getting high and generally engaging in all the things you suspected the Teen Titans were doing in between panels.” One such character, Princess Sunshine, “charges her energy hair by brushing it 1000 times.” Sounds a bit like Marsha Brady to me. Kochalka says his heroes are free to do like, whatever. “It’s characters going about their day,” he explains, “but there’s not any story or plot or any of that literary junk.” Thank goodness — we all know how much harm literature can do to our minds. The issue is available at newsstands now.

reviewthis THE PERCEPTIONISTS, BLACK DIALOGUE

PATTI CASEY, THE EDGE OF GRACE (Self-released, CD)

(Definitive Jux, CD) Boston-based hip-hop trio The Perceptionists are fast-rising stars in the rap music underground. Featuring the bold mike talents of Mr. Lif and Akrobatik as well as the buff bounce of DJ Fakts One, the group makes mincemeat of their “below the radar” competition. Black Dialogue, released on the celebrated Def Jux label, is one of the finest hip-hop records to be released this year. The album hits hard right out of the gate. Opener “Let’s Move” thunders across the speakers like digital elephants set loose on urban streets. Vocally, it’s obvious these guys not only possess mad mike skills but also have something to say. “Strange fruit used to swing from the Southern trees / Now there’s only leaves and those who laid the path are lovin’ these / Discoveries in the brothers’ frees,” the MCs spit. This ain’t no G-Unit album, kids. The trip-hop-tainted “Blo” shows a group with one foot in the old school and one in the new. Fat analog synth squawks and deft turntable scratching keep hip-hop’s street tradition alive, while the staggered beat and speedy verses give the track a 21st-century edge. Perhaps the most politically charged cut on the disc is the incendiary “Memorial Day.” “Where are the weapons of mass destruction?” Akrobatik and Lif ask in the opening verse. “We been lookin’ for months and we ain’t found nuthin’ / Please Mr. President, tell us somethin’ / We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffin!” Recorded before the ’04 elections, the cut is sadly still relevant. The album loses a little steam with “Love Letter,” a paean to old-fashioned romance. While it’s not a bad song, I can imagine the narrative being transposed into a schmaltzy screenplay for an urban romantic comedy. But they bounce back fiercely with the title track, which articulates the assimilation of black culture into the mainstream. Rejecting the “minstrel show” so prevalent in the media, the group suggests real pride comes from integrity. “It was written in the books of Europeans we were savage / That our history was insignificant, our minds below average / But how could one diminish the worth / Of the most imitated culture on this Earth?” they angrily ask. Modern hip-hop doesn’t get much better than this. Forget about bling and vanity clothing lines — The Perceptionists are truly keeping it real. Hear them at the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival Saturday, August 6. modhh-harpoon080305

CASEY REA

Montpelier songwriter Patti Casey’s fourth solo album, The Edge of Grace, delivers on much of the promise heard in her work with the Bluegrass Gospel Project. Of course, it’s pretty tough to stand out in a band that boasts six other singers. Casey’s latest also manages to surpass Just an Old Sweet Song — last year’s album of standards recorded with guitar wizard Paul Asbell. While that disc possessed plenty of charm, it didn’t give her a chance to show off her considerable songwriting gifts. As a matter of fact, until this release, Casey’s main claim to fame has been her singularly gorgeous voice. Now there’s even more to celebrate. The Edge of Grace boasts 13 originals custom-made for country divas, bluegrass bands, gospel quartets, a cappella choirs and even pop singers. “Another Lucky Day,” a sweet torch song that Casey claims to have written many years ago, is one of the album’s many highlights. “Deliver Me” is a late-night waltz, while “East of Asheville” is a love song composed for her little boy while she was on the road. “Where the Nails Were Thrown” — written for Social Band’s Vermont Composers Project — is so catchy you’ll be humming it for hours after the initial spin. Although Casey is more than capable of singing all the lead parts, she enlists a few talented pals to lend their voices when harmonies are needed: Bluegrass Gospel Project’s angel vocalist Taylor Armerding, bluegrass singer Moondi Klein, local singer-songwriter Colin McCaffrey and the legendary Pete Sutherland. Sutherland’s powerful bass vocal on “It All Comes Down” is as convincingly “heavy” as a 300-pound street singer from Georgia. The stellar contributions are not just vocal. Casey surrounds herself with fine musicians, such as Pat Donohue and Gary Raynor from Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band of “Prairie Home Companion” fame, BGP mates Steve Light and Gene White, and central Vermont string genius Kristina Stykos. These players have plenty to offer, but they never eclipse Casey’s warm voice and compelling songs. From start to finish, The Edge of Grace is impressive — it’s already my top contender for local album of the year. Casey performs solo, and with her band Bellatrix — which includes Stykos and rising star Susannah Blachly — at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival in Ferrisburgh this weekend. ROBERT RESNIK

Into the White

W EXHIBIT “Light” artworks by Denis Versweyveld. Amy E. Tarrant Gallery, Flynn Center, Burlington. Through September 3.

ARTWORK “Blue Bowl” sculpture by Denis Versweyveld

PHOTO Marc Awodey

hite isn’t a color; it’s all the colors combined. White light contains the entire spectrum within it, and white pigments reflect about 80 percent of the light they receive, thus filling our eye’s color receptors with “whiteness.” By comparison, black pigments reflect only about 5 percent of the light that falls onto them, so we’re left with “black” — the absence of color. Other pigments reflect only certain wavelengths of light, creating the crazy quilt of complex hues that brightens our visual life. Expect to be bombarded with reflected light when visiting Denis Versweyveld’s exhibition, entitled simply “Light,” at the Flynn Center’s Amy E. Tarrant Gallery. Versweyveld’s aesthetic is dominated by milky whiteness; even the blues, greens, reds and other hues in his paintings are generally pale, generously blended with white. His favorite material for sculpture is raw, white plaster. Three of those snowy sculptures make reference to classical antiquity, appearing as tall, fluted columns. “Bowl with Apples” sits atop a gently tapered column nearly 8 feet high. “Basin,” beside it, is almost as tall; “Dutch Oven,” sited just in front of the other two columnar pieces, is smaller than both. That graceful grouping of three verticals with differing heights elevates everyday objects into the realm of monumentality, as the taller forms are visually measured against the shorter ones.

OPENINGS

warmer and more loosely rendered than were Morandi’s canvasses; his use of color is equally judicious, yet rich. Versweyveld’s bowls are on the indigo side of blue, bordering pale purple. They repeat the same tableau of a mixing-type bowl with a piece of fruit — or is it a tennis ball? — inside. In “Blue Bowl 3,” the interior ball is an almost

Versweyveld’s aesthetic is dominated by milky whiteness; even the blues, greens, reds and other hues in his paintings are generally pale, generously blended with white. Versweyveld’s plaster imparts static timelessness, like the relics and citizens from Pompeii that became plaster casts. Mid-20th-century Italian painter Giorgio Morandi created still lifes of bowls and other vessels in empty spaces with pale backgrounds, and Versweyveld is productively mining similar turf. Some of his sculptural plaster still lifes, such as “Still Life III,” are like Morandi’s existentially barren images pulled into three-dimensional space. Versweyveld’s paintings, however, are

fluorescent pale green; in “Blue Bowl 4” it’s yellower. Versweyveld’s dryly textured handling of paint is masterful in all his canvasses, and his play within a narrow range of white-saturated values is beautifully controlled without being prissy. Another important element in Versweyveld’s paintings is his use of space. As a painter who is an equally accomplished sculptor, he appears to take into full account the depth of each picture plane.

The grayish oil paintings “Dutch Oven I” and “Dutch Oven II” are almost identical vertical compositions, but in the latter the singular lidded pot is deeper in the space and the light is more dramatic. If the Dutch-oven paintings were considered as a diptych, that slight difference in the two pots’ positions would lend the works a subtle narrative of passing time. “Still Life with Onions” is the painting seemingly most influenced by Morandi. It’s a small-scale canvas portraying bowls and other items lined up on a white table. The golden cast of one of the onionskins seems to have crept into all the other forms as well as the background, like advancing sunlight at dawn. Elegant shadows are also integral to these works. Their rich, washed-out quality results from Verseyveld’s ability to create subtle shifts in value. In the larger painting “Orange Bowl #1,” a spare rendition of a bowl on a box-like pedestal, he successfully captured patches of reflected light within his shadows. Verseyveld has acutely observed, and conveyed, the kind of full-spectrum reflections that bathe us in white light every day — even in the shade. m

TALKS/ EVENTS TWO FOR THE SHOW Asuka Ohsawa’s gouache-onpaper works grace the walls of the Firehouse Gallery through August. The internationally acclaimed, L.A.-based artist blends traditional Japanese motifs and idioms with mass-media cartoon imagery, creating a distinctly sophisticated brand of social commentary. Also on display is an angular, wood-andpaper installation by New Hampshire artist Kirsten Reynolds; her piece nearly fills the gallery’s back room and seems inspired by the freeform architectural potential of Tinkertoys. The joint exhibition is appropriately entitled “At an Angle” — both artists certainly have unique perspectives on the world, or at least on art-making. Pictured: “Shock and Awe” by Ohsawa.

Artists Jane Horner, Karen McGregor and Susan Smereka collaborated to build the structures within a structure, creating a space unlike any other that has appeared at the long, high-ceilinged venue, which is well suited to installation art.

Must Love Dogs HH

M LOVE BOAT Lane and Cusack sink to career lows in Goldberg’s formula fest

ust Love Dogs represents an unfortunate milestone in the evolution of the chick flick. Once upon a time, you may recall, the label signified a motion picture that told a story focusing primarily on the emotional lives of its characters. Such a film generally concerned one or more characters searching for true love. It’s historically important to note that many examples of the genre achieved a high cinematic standard. There was a time when we could not automatically presume a chick flick was unchallenging or formulaic in the way, for example, an action adventure featuring Chuck Norris could be assumed to be. That has changed. You could see hints of a shift toward the insipid in the movie industry as far back as 1998. That’s the year You’ve Got Mail infested cineplexes. To anyone who was paying attention, the writing was on the wall. A stripped-down, dumbed-down, star-driven template was in the final stages of preparation. By 2001, the first romantic comedies as we know them now began to roll off the assembly line. Hollywood has always made romantic comedies, of course, but these represented a new model. None was dumber or more predictable than the Ashley Judd vehicle Someone Like You, but it’s interesting to note that both Diane Lane (Hardball) and John Cusack (Serendipity) jumped on the bandwagon that same year, producing work in stark contrast to their previous output. Many of Cusack’s admirers were particularly surprised by his willingness to lend his talent to such forgettable fare. After all, only two years separated Being John Malkovich from the forgettable romantic comedy America’s Sweethearts, which Cusack also made in 2001. These movies may be bad, but the money’s good. Maybe that explains it. All we know for sure is that Lane and Cusack’s curious career paths have now crossed in another forgettable romantic comedy that sets a new (low) standard for big-screen boilerplate. Echoes of every romantic comedy released since the dawn of the millennium howl through Must Love Dogs, a film just as saccharine and clockwork as You’ve Got Mail and which, like that film, feebly mines the Internet for laughs. Based on the novel by Claire Cook and directed by Gary David Goldberg (Dad), Must Love Dogs tells the story of two recently divorced fortysomethings who are obviously destined to spend the rest of their lives together in utter bliss just as soon as they leap a handful of mandatory

plot hurdles placed in their way. Lane’s character has one of those patented, supersized families that seems to perpetually gather to celebrate something, and offer her dating advice. The family’s most colorful character is the twinkly-eyed patriarch (Christopher Plummer), who speaks with a brogue and is likely to quote from Yeats or Browning without warning. Elizabeth Perkins plays Lane’s sister. She’s the culprit who places a personal ad for Lane on Pefectmatch.com without her knowledge and this leads to — you guessed it — the mandatory montage of terrible blind dates. One of her first responses comes from Cusack. They meet in a park and hit it off nicely enough, but he says just enough loveably eccentric things for Lane to put a question mark next to his name. He’s not one to give up, however. This is a guy, I should point out, whose livelihood is hand-building glistening teak rowboats that nobody will buy. People in these new dumb romantic comedies almost always have improbable jobs and lifestyles. Cusack has never sold a boat, but somehow maintains a spacious designer pad. For her part, Lane dwells in a sprawling suburban estate straight out of Martha Stewart Living. She works at a daycare center. Lane keeps going on dates with Cusack and nutty, unexpected things keep going wrong. That’s why we’re supposed to think it’s understandable when she goes out with Dermot Mulroney, who costars as the father of one of her students. He’s separated. The boy reports that his mother calls Mulroney “incorrigible.” We know this is code for “womanizing cad,” but it goes right over Lane’s head, setting the stage for the plot’s mandatory misunderstanding. Which, of course, is supposed to keep us wondering whether Lane and Cusack will ever get together. Right. Not a single convention of the genre is missing here. The result is a sitcom disguised as a movie — and one that’s way too familiar to deserve a cast of this caliber. Must Love Dogs has nothing to say about life in the dating lane that hasn’t been said with more wit and insight in dozens of other films. Its cookie-cutter characters are so relentlessly cute, even actors as talented as Lane and Cusack can’t make us believe for a minute they’re real. Which makes it hard to get real interested. If this is your bowl of kibble, all I can say is, you really must love Diane Lane, or John Cusack, or you just must love dogs indeed. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Very Moving Pictures couple brought their vacation movies from the 1940s, for example, and someone else had their 1955 birthday party. Part of the fun is that organizers have no idea what they’ll get.” That appeal convinced Snyder to host the 2005 gathering. “These are cultural documents,” he notes. “They enhance our sense of history through a peek at everyday lives. The films may have been boring to watch at one time, but now we notice how people interacted, how they dressed. Look at that

Maybe 40 people came, mostly those with footage and film cultists who get off on the smell of projectors. BARRY SNYDER, BURLINGTON COLLEGE CINEMA STUDIES

Experts will be on hand to assess your vintage reels from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We can offer advice on how to preserve material that’s been sitting in a closet for years. And we’ll make sure it’s screenable,” Snyder says. In the afternoon, some of the amateur works will be showcased at a public session. The mid-August Home Movie Day began in 2003, and has been celebrated in various places around the country, including last year in White River Junction. Snyder went there to check it out. “Maybe 40 people came, mostly those with footage and film cultists who get off on the smell of projectors,” Snyder quips. “The whole thing was wonderfully spontaneous. An elderly

refrigerator! Look at those drapes.” According to Snyder, it’s OK to bring “orphan films,” the kind that come “from a distant uncle or you find in the attic.” The process is first-come, first-served, and only one submission per person will be presented. Although the silent images may be scratchy and reflect use of shaky, handheld cameras, they often have depth. “It’s insightful, in the raw, full of discovery,” Snyder says, “even radical. Watching them might provide a strong emotional experience. These can be intimate accounts of a vacation in Hawaii or of a soldier just home from the army. Many capture poignant moments.” In an era when the masses have cho-

MY SUMMER OF LOVE

sen video over film stock, he is a champion of early technologies. “There’s a false idea that digital is superior,” Snyder suggests. “We’re really celluloid people here, even though it’s disappearing. Instead of everything smooth and polished, I think we have nostalgia for a creaky projector chewing up the sprocket holes. It’s iconic.” Video recording has become so ubiquitous, in fact, that “our innocence is gone, for sure,” Snyder theorizes. “We’re a more self-conscious civilization now.” For more information about Home Movie Day, call him at 862-9616, or email bsnyder@burlcol.edu.

The contemporary Yorkshire lass in My Summer of Love is as restless as one of the late-19th-century women Thomas Hardy depicted in The Return of the Native. Much like the novelist’s Eustacia Vye, teenage Mona — played by newcomer Natalie Press — dreams of escaping the sleepy village that suffocates her lively spirit. The 87-minute film, which opened last weekend at the Roxy in Burlington, gives Mona more romantic options than

would have been imaginable for her literary predecessor. A lesbian affair of the heart is not so shocking in modern times. Mona has been alienated from her ex-con brother Phil (the wonderful Paddy Considine of In America fame) since he became a born-again Christian and began turning a pub inherited from their late parents into a church. It’s fascinating to witness the struggle between his sanctimony and the quick temper that no doubt once helped land him in jail. Mona’s outlook brightens when she is befriended and subtly seduced by the artsy Tamsin (a feature debut for Emily Blunt, who recently portrayed a Roman vestal virgin on the ABC-TV miniseries Empire). An affluent student summering at her family’s nearby estate, she seems exotic to the small-town girl. Their dynamic allows for an interesting perspective on Britain’s evolving class system. Director Pawel Pawlikowski (Last Resort) coaxes brilliant performances from all three actors and keeps the audience nicely off-balance in this bittersweet portrait of a young protagonist with more pluck than poor Eustacia had. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

Over-educated types scoff at words like PRIORITIZE. Claudia CARDINALE was a femme fatale in the Jurassic Age. PASTORAL symphonies are performed in alfalfa fields. Canadians who live in NUNAVUT will have none of it. They couldn’t afford Charlotte, so they settled in MONKTON. POPEYE’S anomalous forearms astonished morphologists. There ain’t no bunny RABBIT in Welsh rarebit. Ninety-nine percent of the violence in our lives is VICARIOUS. Some would-be LAMAZE moms end up going for the spinal. Joseph PRIESTLEY discovered both God and oxygen. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EASY AND HARD. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Just pray you can solve this.

ot any old footage of your childhood visit to Disneyland, or that backyard barbecue at Grandma’s house on the Jersey Shore? People with such memories stashed away in the basement are invited to attend Home Movie Day on August 13 at Burlington College. “This is a very egalitarian, free event for people who don’t necessarily have the equipment to view their 8mm, super8mm or 16mm films,” explains Barry Snyder, who heads the school’s cinema studies department.

GOING BATTY You’d expect to find the odd bat in a creaky, 19th-century barn. But the one causing a flap on the Skinner Barn stage goes beyond “odd.” Bat Boy: The Musical tells the story of a smart, but not exactly normal, young man who’d rather hang upside down than fall head-over-heels. Based on “actual events” reported years ago in the tabloid Weekly World News, it sends up Broadway musicals by mixing hard-core rock and gospel with traditional show tunes. It also transforms kitschy, supermarket-check-out-aisle fare into a dark comedy about outsiders. Look for lots of gender-bending, a villainous doctor, and a classic love story — with a bite. ‘BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL’ Wednesdays through Sundays, August 314, The Skinner Barn, Waitsfield, 8 p.m. $15.

SEVEN DAYS

scene@SMACKDOWN! LIVE MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM, BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, JULY 31, 7 P.M. The steady stream of pro-wrestling fans walking up Main Street for Sunday night’s pro-wrestling show paid no heed to the five protesters across the street waving signs that read, “Don’t teach kids to be bullies,” and “Domestic violence: It’s a crime, not entertainment.” The wrestling enthusiasts — mostly boys and young men, but also a few teenaged girls in tight jeans and T-shirts — weren’t dropping $50 plus to have their consciences raised. They were coming to watch their favorite muscle-bound gladiators in spandex and grease paint toss each other around in a grunting orgy of testosterone-fueled acrobatics. And WWE delivered. After a minor snafu left me outside without a press pass, a former Seven Days intern working security got the promoter, Tim White, to walk me in through backstage. “No finishes, just action shots,” White instructed my photographer, as we passed a panting, halfnaked man drenched in sweat. “And shoot from upstairs, so you don’t see the empty seats. The show didn’t sell out.” As we entered the arena to distorted heavy metal, White turned and said, “You know who all the guys are, right?” “Um, yeah,” I mumbled. A bout had just begun between cruiserweight Paul London and a long-haired wrestler whom the fans I asked could only identify as “The Mexican.” As the two behemoths flung each other around the ring — and occasionally over the ropes — the crowd chanted, “Mexico sucks!” and “U.S.A!” No political correctness here. A wave of boos swept through the arena as the Mexican’s henchmen ducked through the ropes and stomped on the American’s chest. But they cheered as the ref disqualified the Mexican and declared London the winner. London raised his arm in victory, then hobbled away feebly, high-fiving the boys crowded along the barricades. My favorite moment came when a female “coach,” dressed in a skimpy red skirt and knee-high boots, locked her legs around an opponents’ neck. A teen standing near me stood and shouted, “You suck!” A father seated nearby with his wife and children scolded, “Excuse me! There are children here!” The young man turned to me and muttered, “You can see her panties and everything, and he’s complaining?” KEN PICARD

An international soccer tourney on Sunday afternoon allows game fans to get their kicks in — “futbol” never seemed so fun.

SATURDAY 06

CLUE SLEUTHS Racing can build brains as well as bodies. In The Urban Adventure, arranged by Vermont City Marathon organizers, participants have four hours to follow a mystery trail of hints and hideouts in downtown Burlington. Some items can be answered with book research, but others require the two-person teams to paddle, run or bike to a specific location. The catch? Only one person can be on a bike at one time. Most of the race is regulated by the honor system, but it’s totally legal to bring maps and reference books or use cell phones to connect to Internet-searching friends in order to finish. After the clue books have been turned in, a post-race meal builds community.

BURLINGTON’S URBAN ADVENTURE Saturday, August 6, One Main Street, Burlington, registration 7:30 a.m., race 8:30 a.m. $70 per team. Registration and info, 863-8412.

SWIM TEAMWORK “Baywatch” notwithstanding, the primary function of a lifeguard isn’t to look pretty. In addition to physical fitness, the job requires being alert to danger and quick at responding to it. All lifeguards are certified, but a new regional competition hosted by the American Red Cross aims to sharpen skills while providing fun — and raising funds for drowning-prevention and aquatic programs. “We’re hoping for somewhere around 20 to 25 teams,” says Rachel Kring of the Red Cross’ Northern Vermont chapter. Bystanders can cheer on their local three-person teams in the swim as they compete in activities such as staging a rescue for a spinal injury and retrieving a brick from the pool bottom. Heavy stuff.

LIFEGUARD COMPETITION Friday, August 5, Racquet’s Edge, Essex Junction, 7-10 p.m. Donations to compete, free to watch. Registration and info, 660-9130, ext. 106. http://www.nvtredcross.org

SIX STARS QI GONG: Saturday and Sunday, October 1 and 2. Elements of Healing, 62 Pearl St., Essex Junction. $200. Info, 802-288-8160 or visit www.elementsofhealing.net. The Six Stars consists of six non-strenuous standing exercises which build-up the physical foundation of the body, beginning with the bone marrow. These exercises help to strengthen from the inside out, by keeping the bone marrow soft and supple. The stars also help to rejuvenate the body by strengthening the tendons, bones, muscles and connective tissue. Rather than increasing muscle size and bulk the Six Stars focus the Qi, or internal energy, giving a sense of solidity, depth and grounding of the physical body. Master Share K. Lew is a Taoist priest with over 60 years’ experience in the traditional Taoist arts. Master Lew received his education at Wong Lung Kwan, a Taoist monastery in the Luo Fo mountains near Canton, China. He had studied the Tao Ahn Pai (Taoist Elixir Method) system at Wong Lung Kwan for 13 years. During that time he trained in the full range of Taoist healing and martial arts. At the core of his training was the system of cultivation of the internal energies known as Qi. The exercises that Master Lew teaches are part of what has been traditionally called the internal or “Nui Gung” system of martial arts.

AUGUST 04-10

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): The Drama Queen or Drama King within you is secretly plotting to raise the emotional stakes to record levels. For that inner extremist, mere adventure might not be enough; thunderous histrionics and romantic excess may be considered essential. While I have no problem with you enjoying a fevered fling, I don’t think it’s necessary to cross the line into delirious hysteria and volcanic excess. So here’s what I’m going to suggest: Take your inner Drama Queen or Drama King for about 10 rides on an actual roller coaster. That way he or she may not need to make your whole life into a roller coaster.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Can you keep your balance and your dignity while trying to sit on two fences at once? Can you be a friend to all, a servant of none and a freestyle wheelerdealer all at the same time? As you’re flattered and criticized for the oddest reasons, and as people try to manipulate you and impress you, can you keep your ego from inflating and deflating like a hyperventilating lung? The answer to these questions is a definite maybe, Cancerian. For best results, be as dispassionate as a Buddhist monk and as brave as a drunk without actually getting drunk.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Please speak the fol-

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): There was a personalized California license plate on the yellow Hummer I saw today. It said “U Move.” I took this to be the driver’s announcement that he was king of the road and had no obligation to watch where he was going. He seemed to be saying that if you had a problem with him, you should get the hell out of his way. In the moment, I took this to be an idiotic communication from a belligerent jerk, but when I studied your astrological aspects for the coming week, I realized it was actually a good motto for you to adopt. For a limited time only, you have the right to proclaim the following to anyone who thinks you should be anywhere else besides where you are: “No, you move.”

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Let’s say you were somehow able to travel to a comet as it approached the sun. Let’s say you also brought a container in which you were able to capture all the vapor from the comet’s 5000-mile gaseous tail. The container wouldn’t have to be any bigger than a wine bottle, because there’s not much actual stuff in the tail. This hypothetical project is a good metaphor for the work you have ahead of you in the coming week, Gemini. Vast volumes of hot air will contain only a tiny bit of rarefied substance. And yet that bit will be interesting and useful.

lowing series of declarations at least once a day in the coming week: “I want to drink in the brilliance of someone’s beautiful eyes today. I want to dream of the kind of intimacy I will someday be worthy of. I want to learn to enjoy everything that I do and everything that happens to me, even if it’s not what I expected or thought I needed. I want the end of every story to be quickly followed by the beginning of the next story. I want to go home to a home I have never known.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The average person throws out 19 pounds of garbage per week. Between now and August 24, however, you have license to exceed that figure by a large margin. In fact, Virgo, the cosmos would love you to carry out a Great Purge. So take full advantage of this opportunity to lighten your load. Get rid of every last scrap of dross and clutter, give away anything that has outlived its usefulness, and unburden yourself of outmoded necessities that have been sitting untouched in a closet or storage unit for more than a year. As much as you possibly can, free yourself of the unnecessary residues of your past.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it would be an excellent time for you to put on your best clothes and clean toilets at a leper colony in India, or give exuberant foot massages to workers at a sewage disposal plant, or sing songs, sip champagne, and play card games with patients at a psychiatric hospital. Adventures like those would put you in close alignment with your highest possible destiny. Do they strike you as too extreme? If so, figure out alternatives that will work for you: Conjure up your most expansive and generous energy as you carry out taxing tasks that benefit other people.

your time and getting caught up in trivial details might feel like the most natural thing to do in the coming week, but I’d love to steer you away from doing that. Please, please, pretty please, take heed of this proverb from ancient Rome: “The eagle does not catch flies.” In other words, avoid lowering yourself to pursue rewards that don’t really interest you or nourish you. And please, please, pretty please, also listen to the advice of this Nepalese proverb: “Conduct short rituals for minor gods.” Translation: Acknowledge the second-tier powers-that-be, but don’t prostrate yourself in front of them for hours.

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Early American politician and inventor Benjamin Franklin said, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” And yet for one period of his life, he frequently stayed up all night reading books. Make him your role model in the coming week, Aquarius. Use his example to inspire you to rebel against one of your mottoes or refuse to obey your own well-worn advice. At least temporarily, the best thing you can do for your mental health is experiment with alternatives to policies you usually regard as inviolable.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve probably heard tales about people who buy an old desk at a thrift store or a used jacket at a yard sale, then find a big stash of money in it when they get it home. You may also know the story of author Byron Katie, who was wallowing in depression on the floor of a halfway house when she had the epiphany that ultimately transformed her into a brilliant, rich, successful teacher. I believe your fate in the coming weeks will have elements of both of those motifs.

AQUARIUS

Madden was a successful pro football coach who understood the value of taking things both seriously and not very seriously at all. He was a hardworking master of strategy and motivation who drilled his team relentlessly so they’d develop the discipline necessary to excel. But he also understood how critical it was to inject playfulness into the mix, even during high-pressure moments. There was one stretch in the 1970s when he prepared his players for each game with a fierce pep talk, but then refused to let them leave the locker room until running back Mark van Eeghen could summon a belch. I recommend this dual approach to you, Scorpio. As you wade in to your upcoming dates with destiny, draw liberally on the leavening power of teasing and whimsy.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A panel of 23 astrologers headed by yours truly has named you Window Shopper of the Month for August. I know that may sound premature, given the fact that you have not yet done much browsing this 1/31/05 2x3-090104-soulstice

month. But the astrological omens are clear. We’re confident you’ll justify our faith and do what’s necessary to earn your title. To get you pointed in the right direction, here are some things you might want to fantasize about acquiring: a silk lantern, a stained glass window, a bird’s nest, black pearls, 2000-year-old honey, photos of smoke rising from ritually consecrated fires, a compass that once belonged to a great explorer and anything else that simultaneously evokes your love of beauty and your sense of wonder.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am caught in the middle of a dyke drama. I have one friend whom I am beginning to be interested in. We have had long, in-depth conversations over coffee, and we mesh well because our core values coincide. However, this fickle flame is slow to kindle. On the other hand, I just met a fiery femme and we have hit it off well. We are obviously attracted to each other; I often have to hold back the urge to jump her in public. So, should I pin down at this potentially awesome femme or go the slow-and-steady route and hope? Baffled in Brattleboro Dear Baffled, Maybe I’m missing something here, but I don’t see why you can’t have your cheesecake and eat her, too — at least for now. Situations like yours are why God created dating. As long as neither woman is counting on your being monogamous (and I doubt that Ms. slow-and-steady believes she’s the only coffee in your cup), why not cultivate both relationships and see what percolates? Love, Lola

Woof and hello! My name is Jake and I am a playful and happy 5-year-old black and brown male Hound/Rottweiler mix. I am a gentle dog with a heart of gold. My previous people say that I am housetrained, good with dogs, cats, and children. What an ambassador I make! I am friendly to visitors and I enjoy attention from my human friends. I do have a little spur in my right shoulder, but it doesn’t seem to affect my mobility too much. I am very tolerant of body handling, mellow, affectionate, and attentive. Since I have lived with children I would love to find a home with respectful people of all ages. Right now my exercise needs are in the ? hour to 1 hour a day range, but I may be able to do more as I get in better shape. My new home will have to have another dog with whom I can be pals and hang out, because I may have separation anxiety if left alone. I know ‘sit’ and ‘give paw’ and would love to learn more. If you’re ready, I am ready to find a family who will love me forever. Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 6 pm or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
