COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Green Mountain Daily

JEWISH DISSENT Erik Esckilsen’s article on the proIsraeli rally at Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington [July 26] is inaccurate. In its headline, “Area Jews Rally Around Israel,” and its non-coverage of area Jews who are not in agreement with the Israeli assault against Lebanon and Palestine, Esckilsen and Seven Days imply that Jewish citizens are unified in their support of Israel’s current military offensive. Esckilsen and Seven Days ignore the reality that while some Jewish Americans support the Israeli government’s policies of the rubbleization of the Western-friendly nation of Lebanon, the senseless destruction of its urban centers like Beirut and Tyre, and the tragic loss of lives in Israel and Lebanon, vast numbers of other Jewish Americans in our community, the U.S.A. and Israel are horrified by the Israeli war against Lebanon and Palestine, and are and always have been leaders in the movement to bring peace between Israel and Arab neighbors. Despite the endless intimidation of being labeled “antiSemites” or “self-hating Jews,” Jewish Americans as individuals and members of groups like Peace Now, Women in Black, Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel and the Bethlehem-Arad-Burlington Sister City Program have continued to put forth the message that all the peoples of the Middle East, Jew,

Christian and Muslim, Palestinian, Israeli, Lebanese and Arab, nearly all of whom are Semites, have equal rights to live in peace, security and prosperity within safe borders and viable societies. To imply that Jews in our community and region support the military policies of the Israeli government that have led to destruction and death in Palestine, Lebanon and Israel — and which can only stir more hatred against the outnumbered and therefore inevitably vulnerable Israelis — disrespects the work of Jews and those who work with them, who courageously struggle to make peace in the Middle East and elsewhere, and to live in accordance with the traditions of Judaism: respect for the law, for the human rights of all people and for the opportunity of men, women and children to live together in harmony without the wars of states, governments and military machines. Sandy Baird BURLINGTON

DEFENDING ISRAEL Usually I read and try to refrain from comments. However, the letter “Betrayed Legacy” [August 2] upsets me to the point that I had to write. Israel did not start this war. If anyone is to blame, it is Hezbollah! They are the ones who betrayed the people of Lebanon by kidnapping Israel’s soldiers. 11:43 AM

Page 1

Israel repeatedly requested the return of their soldiers, to no avail. Hezbollah went against the U.N. peace treaty. Hezbollah is holding Lebanon by the “you know whats” . . . hiding behind the people of Lebanon. They are the ones to blame for killing women and children. Israel dropped leaflets to the people on the Lebanese border telling them to leave for their own safety, including the leaflets to the people of Beirut. Hezbollah just dropped an array of bombs on the people of Northern Israel, women and children included. And of course there will be retaliation. Hezbollah are terrorists. My father came from Rumania, immigrated to the United States in 1917. He fought in WWII, the “Battle of the Bulge,” to be specific. Remember how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust? Six million — family members of mine included. Israel fought long and hard to retain and defend the state of Israel. And now they’re being accosted from two fronts. The blame does not lie with Israel. They are defending their country and their people. We cannot buckle under Hezbollah’s heavy hand of terrorism. To do so would “desecrate” the heritage of all the Jewish people around the world! Peace will eventually happen. The other side of the coin . . . everyone will retaliate until no one can anymore. It’s a sad situation, but we have to remain steadfast and

not buckle under to the terrorism, and continue to support Israel. Francine Rosenzweig WOLCOTT

TERROR SUPPORTERS The Deaniac Democratic Left should stop to think where their Madrasa-like hate-Bush ideology is leading the United States and our future as a nation. Bush hatred has made these people witting or unwitting allies of the terrorists such as Hezbollah in the Mid-East and the rest of the world. They seem to believe, sup-

port, and sign on to the theory that the enemy of my enemy, Bush, is my friend. This ideology does not care that Bush is an American and that their goal is to destroy our way of life. This includes the destruction of our allies as well. The Democratic Left needs to ask themselves the following questions and then explain their answers to the American people. Since they are supporting Hezbollah against Israel, will the world really be better off with the death and dispersal of anoth-

er 6 million Jews, i.e., the elimination of the state of Israel and its population? How anti-Semitic can you be? They need to explain their position to the American people. The corollary to this question is, why do they think the world and the United States will be better off if the United States loses in Iraq because of their cut-and-run policy? They should give us a clear presentation on why they desire an American loss in Iraq, and how this loss would benefit them, the United States, and the world.

I look forward to their answers. Colin McNaull HINESBURG

SHOP LOCAL Just picked up the Seven Daysies Guide [August 2], and was glad to get new recommendations as well as see old favorites get their props. But I’m embarrassed by some of my fellow Vermonters’ picks — Barnes & Nobles, Borders, Home Depot, Clear Channel radio? We’re lucky to live in a state with many independent, locally owned businesses. If we want to keep it that way, let’s show them our support! Erin Costa PLAINFIELD PAVEMENT RAGE Regarding the article in Seven Days entitled “City Finally Paves the Way for Champlain Parkway” [July 26]: The attempts by city planners to spend $18 million to build a 1-mile strip of asphalt of dubious value simply because “we think that this project is as buildable and permittable as it’s going to get in Burlington” highlights the sophomoric thinking by transportation planners at the very same time that ridership on public transit is greatly increased (accord-

ing to CCTA figures published in their Board report). Spending on public transit is far, far more cost-effective than building highways, yet public transit is seriously underfunded, (representing less than 8 percent of transportation dollars spent in FY 2006), perhaps because of a mindset that is apparently stuck back in the mid-1950s. And Peter Freyne inadvertently hit the nail on the head when, as an afterthought, he commented in the very last words in his column, “wider bike lanes” [“Inside Track,” July 26]. For the same $18 million that city planners want to piss away as if it is manna from heaven, we could have a greatly enhanced system of bike lanes as well as expansion of public transit. By the way, according to federal transportation funding rules, the same piece of federal funding that would be wasted on a “Southern Connector” could be spent on a system of bike lanes, that is, if only our “progressive” government had the vision to match its rhetoric.

CORRECTION: Last week’s story about the Vermont Frost Heaves was accompanied by a photo of one of the men trying out for the team, but we neglected to identify him. His name is Deametric Shaw. Also, due to an editing glitch, the story contained a couple of errors; New invitees to the try-outs came from as far as Florida, not Alabama; and team owner Alex Wolff has a full-time staff of two, not five.

VERMONT — Eco-minded motorists running their rigs on vegetable oil are on the move in Vermont. Companies specializing in converting diesel engines to burn waste oil are proliferating. But keeping a fuel supply on hand may require greasing a few palms down the road as competition for free, clean oil heats up. Already, there have been some not-so-eco-friendly exchanges. Farmer Richard Wiswall of East Montpelier has been tapping area restaurants for their oil to power two 1980s-era Mercedes Benzes, two tractors and seven greenhouses on the 148-acre Cate Farm. He tries to keep the lines of communication open with other grease gatherers, but the fact that most supply relationships are informal agreements leaves the door open for others to step in. “In central Vermont, the supply is tight,” Wiswall says. “The people who come on board are looking for oil and tend to go to the sources on the common trail. They unknowingly swipe oil from people who’ve been getting it for a couple of years . . . We put a sign saying, ‘Oil saved for Cate Farm.’ Most people respect that, but some people swipe it anyway.” Karen Pearson, co-owner of the Easy Street Café & Restaurant in Waitsfield, a hotbed of veggieoil vehicles, likes supporting the alternative energy effort. But she also knows how competitive the quest for free fuel has become. So, from the day Easy Street started serving customers, she has exclusively saved the oil from two 5-gallon Fryolators that run in the kitchen through breakfast, lunch and dinner for one collector. She included the anonymous recipient in discussions early on. “We said to him, ‘What exactly do you need?’” she says, “and he

ered auto revolution, says Mike Blazewicz. The Burlington-based river restoration and ecological design consultant runs a ’91 Volkswagen Jetta on vegetable oil he collects from two sources — one is Maynard’s Snack Bar in Moretown, the other he prefers not to disclose. Blazewicz, who also teaches courses on fuel-tank conversion at Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Warren,

We put a sign saying, ‘Oil saved for Cate Farm.’ Most people respect that, but some people swipe it anyway. VEGETABLE FARMER RICHARD WISWALL

gave us a little education on that” — primarily in terms of oil quality. The result, she adds, is a win-win-win for her, the collector and customers. It’s hard to believe restaurateurs like Pearson once paid to have their waste oil taken away. Now, when it piles up out back, tempting other oil-car drivers in the Mad River, “We get phone calls asking about it, and we say that we do have someone to take it,” she says. If the oil goes uncollected for a few weeks, she gives her collector a call. “It’s like stealth,” she says. “He just drives in and puts it in his truck, and then I see him in here for lunch.” That level of cooperation between suppliers and consumers may hold the key to the nearterm success of the veggie-pow-

hasn’t had problems with people clipping his “cubies” — the cubeshaped cartons that restaurantquantity vegetable oil comes in. But he sees another potential conflict intensifying on the supply front. “The higher quality the oil, the less problems you’re going to have in your engine,” he says. “It’s becoming less common to find restaurants that are purchasing high-quality oil. There’s plenty of oil out there, but a lot of it is either partially hydrogenated or fully hydrogenated. Or the restaurant owners and cooks don’t care for it in a way that’s going to be useful to us.” Blazewicz isn’t complaining, though, and knows the relationship between suppliers and consumers is a two-way street requiring that oil collectors not take their suppliers for granted.

“I think it’s important for people who are taking vegetable oil from restaurant owners to be mindful, to be responsible in that pickup,” he says, “so as to keep that relationship a positive one.” Liz Fukushima, an acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner in Burlington, avoids the supply problem by running her ’02 Volkswagen Golf on retail vegetable oil. After converting her fuel tank to burn vegetable oil last spring, she pays about $2.83 per gallon for overthe-counter soybean oil. With diesel fuel at the pump going for roughly $3.10 at press time, Fukushima doesn’t save much money by going greasy, but she enjoys making a smaller environmental footprint through reduced toxic emissions. Still, she’s on the hunt for a streetlevel source to help her recycle while commuting. “I have a couple of leads that I won’t disclose,” she says. “The ideal thing in the waste-veggie-oil world is to find a place that produces at the rate that you want it . . . If you can find the local guy who’s dumping 5 gallons in the dumpster, and keep that out of the loop, that’s really cool.” In a capitalist marketplace, these supply-and-demand dynamics point to inevitable conclusions for vegetable oil vehicles. “It’s a matter of time before people are going to be paying for vegetable oil,” Wiswall says. “As diesel fuel keeps going up, vegetable oil becomes more valuable.” His advice for would-be greasecar jockeys: Find a steady fuel supply before making the move to vegetable-powered locomotion. m

Librarians See Red Over Proposed Social Website Restrictions BY ERIK ESCKILSEN

WASHINGTON — Such popular websites as myspace.com and facebook.com became the latest target in a legislative crusade to combat child predators with last the passage July 26 of the Deleting Online Predators Act. Public institutions are already required to block minors’ access to websites with obscene content. H.R. 5319 extends that mandate to social networking sites. The bill had overwhelming support in the U.S. House of Representatives — 410 legislators, including Rep. Bernard Sanders, voted “aye,” and just 15 opposed. However, DOPA has drawn criticism for failing to define what constitutes a social networking site, and for further burdening public institutions. Some of the sharpest objections have focused on what some see as a politically motivated initiative to attract suburban voters in an election year. The U.S. Senate had not drafted a companion bill by the time lawmakers began their summer recess on August 4. Sponsored by Rep. Michael (R-Pennsylvania), Fitzpatrick who is up for reelection, DOPA aims at sites that enable users to create personal profiles and communicate with other users. These may include such commonly visited sites as Amazon.com, as well as popular social networking sites. Institutions that receive federal funding through the Erate program, which offers discounts on technology services, will be required to comply with the DOPA provisions in order to retain that funding. DOPA is effectively an upgrade of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000. CIPA ties federal funds in the Erate program to compliance with the law. According to Vermont State Librarian Sybil McShane, the state’s public libraries by and large opted out of the E-rate program, “The feeling being,” she says, “that access to the Internet

should be determined at the local level.” Institutions were still able to draw E-rate funds for regular telephone service, since CIPA focused only on Internet access. As a result, she adds, DOPA “wouldn’t affect very many public libraries in Vermont.” One big problem with DOPA, however, is that unless online predators are using library and school computers, the bill likely won’t affect them, either. “The reality is, there’s more threat from the next-door neighbor and the person they know than the online predator,” says Elaine Young, a Champlain College professor specializing in Internet marketing. “And [DOPA] clouds that issue.” McShane agrees that the bill’s emphasis may be misplaced. “Perhaps a solution has to be an increased penalty or some sort of increased responsibility to prevent predators from using chat rooms, not block libraries from using chat rooms.” Young sees the bill as shortsighted in its view of social networking sites’ benefits, particularly to youth. “Think of the power that this gives adolescents to express themselves in ways they can’t in their space,” she says. “Aren’t we better to understand it and learn from it and give them the guidance they need?” Jessamyn West, a Bethelbased community technology worker and the driving force behind www.librarian.net, sees DOPA’s vagueness as problematic. “DOPA’s going through without the key parts of it defined,” she says. “Once it passes, then we’ll define what it is. That’s crazy. Why should you accept that from your lawmakers?” Sanders’ support of the measure concerns her, given the Congressman’s solid track record on privacy rights and public access to information technology. When viewed against the Freedom to Read Protection Act

(H.R. 1157) he introduced in March 2003, his yes vote on DOPA is disappointing. West and Young see Sanders’ vote on DOPA as politically motivated — just like the over-thetop-title of Fitzpatrick’s bill. “It’s a political hot button,” Young says. “If you don’t vote for it, what happens in an election year when your opponent says you voted ‘No’ on stopping predators on the Web?” Sanders did not return phone calls by press time. Politics aside, DOPA’s detractors are concerned about the bill doing more harm than good by widening the “digital divide.” Says Young, “If a student has a high socioeconomic background, there’s a better shot that they have Internet access, that they can take advantage of the technology.” Block that in the public arena, she adds, and suddenly “here’s a whole group of people not being trained how to use this.’’ And it’s not just about kids, McShane notes. Adults also use public libraries to access social networking sites — and for myriad reasons, such as to combat loneliness or to find support groups for illnesses. “This would essentially require adults to say, ‘Dear librarian, please unlock the computer so I can get access to my chat room,” she says. “Many people would feel awkward about asking for that.” With Congress in recess and the Senate yet to take up DOPA, some critics find solace in the momentary holding pattern. Looking down the road, though, McShane views bills like CIPA and DOPA as part of a troubling trend. “I just hope that everything’s not going to be decided at the federal level,” she says, “and that we’ll be able to decide based on our community needs.” Young would just like to know what types of sites will qualify for DOPA scrutiny. “I have a myspace account,” she says. “It has pictures of me. It has pictures of my cats. Is that too per-

REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT

Workshop Attempts to Help African Refugees Adjust to U.S. Rules and Regs BY CATHY RESMER

PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

DR. JEAN-MARIE MUJAKAZI TRANSLATES FOR A GROUP OF AFRICAN REFUGEES.

BURLINGTON — Refugees from war-torn countries who resettle in Vermont no longer have to fear armed militias, but life in the United States presents its own set of challenges. Getting a job, finding a place to live, learning English — those are all difficult enough, and they’re just the basics. How do refugees learn how Americans define and deal with domestic violence, drunk driving or child abuse? Organizers from the Association of Africans Living in Vermont attempted to help African-born refugees grasp these and other legal and cultural concepts at a workshop at Burlington’s City Hall last Saturday. Volunteers from the AALV partnered with area agencies to provide vital information, all of which was translated into French, Swahili and Mai-Mai. Charlie Halstead, manager of the Burlington Housing Authority Family Site, explained his agency’s interest in helping plan the event in a pre-workshop interview. “Basically,” he said, “we’re dealing with a community where people still have a lot of questions.” That community is composed of refugees from African nations such as Somalia, Congo and Sudan. Many of these newcomers arrived through the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, which has resettled more than 700 African refugees in the Burlington area since 2000. It’s impossible to know how many are still here, but the city’s Community and Economic Development Office estimates there are approximately 2000 African-born immigrants and refugees in the Burlington area. The VRRP provides its clients with intensive services immediately after their arrival, but there’s a limit to how much the federally funded agency can do. The AALV and its partner organizations are trying to step in and facilitate the next step in what is often a difficult transition process. Their efforts are meeting with mixed success. Prior to the workshop, for example, Halstead said he hoped to see one adult from every refugee household at the workshop. But just a dozen or so refugee

adults made it to Contois for the day’s first session, which was to have begun at 10 a.m. Organizers delayed for almost an hour before AALV president Jacob Bogre delivered his opening remarks. Speaking to an audience in which the journalists, presenters and translators nearly outnumbered participants, Bogre outlined the day’s theme. “How can we fit in this new culture and keep our African values and not do some mistake?” he asked. He introduced John Salter and Robin LaRue, of the Department of Children and Family Services, who spoke about child abuse and neglect. Their presentation reflected the cultural differences in childrearing practices that African refugees in particular must confront. Back at home, Salter implied, you can count on other adults to keep an eye on your kids, but expectations are different here. “Parents should not assume that other adults should watch their children,” Salter explained. “You wouldn’t trust strangers with your money or your documents; don’t expect others to watch your children.” Other speakers, such as Steve McQueen of the Winooski Police Department, explained that the police and the court system — not community elders — have the final word in domestic-violence situations. If a court orders an abusive husband to leave the house, he said, “elders cannot change that.” Participants also asked questions that revealed the extent of the educational task at hand. Through a translator, one woman asked Salter and LaRue to advise her on how to handle a problem she encounters often, when her daughter comes home from school, turns on the TV, and refuses to help with the chores. The woman reported that when she turns off the TV, her daughter cries and threatens to report her mother to the police. The crowd laughed at this dilemma, and many nodded their heads, as if it were a common problem. Through school and their peers, refugee children learn how

to manipulate the system, which can put their parents at a disadvantage. Salter’s answer: “If your child calls and says you won’t let her watch TV, I will not come to your house.” But if children are threatening to turn their parents in, the parents themselves are often reluctant to report problems. Before the workshop began, Burlington’s Community Support Program Director Brooke Hadwen said privately that she recently dealt with an elderly white man who was taking advantage of a refugee family, coming into their home and taking suggestive photographs of their partially dressed children. “They were just so polite and wouldn’t kick him out of the house,” she confided. When Hadwen learned of the situation, she told the family she’d have to report the man. She says they were worried for his safety. “They were like, ‘He’s not going to get hurt, is he?’” The mother of the family had had bad experiences with uniformed officers. “She tells me this story of being stabbed by bayonets and being held down and being raped,” Hadwen recalled. “Every story is like that. So it’s very different stuff.” At least one participant expressed his concern that the information presented at Saturday’s workshop isn’t reaching most of the people in the Somali Bantu community. Hassan Nur, a Somali refugee who has been in the U.S. for two years, raised his hand after Salter and LaRue’s presentation. “The problem we have is that we are not really the same as other people,” he said. He explained that the Somalis have lots of children and few financial resources. Parents are struggling to work and watch their kids. Many of them still don’t understand the language, much less the local legal system and support networks. “When the kids are in trouble,” he said, “who should they call?” BHA’s Halstead called the event “a great step in the right direction.” “All we can do is reach out,” he said. “People are reaching back.” m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Doctor’s Order: Tell It Like It Is

epublican two-term Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie has been leading a pretty charmed life as a GOP candidate in the antiGeorge W. Bush Green Mountains, and there’s no sign of his luck changing anytime soon. In fact, same goes for that other guy on the GOP ticket, Gov. Jim Douglas. The Vermont Republican Party’s electoral success at the top ranks of state government in the post-Howard Dean age is one of the GOP’s greatest and most unheralded outside-the-Beltway success stories. And many local pundits saw DoobieDoo’s Lite-Gov reelection odds improve significantly with the surprise entry into the race of a particularly articulate and well-educated Progressive Party candidate. In fact, Marvin Malek, M.D., is a real-life doctor on the front lines of health care. He wears the hat of director of Barre Internal Medicine. A doctor running for lieutenant governor? Hmm. That’s pretty rare. Let’s see, it happened once before — 20 years ago. A little guy from Burlington. Made house calls. What ever became of him, anyway? Seriously, folks, Candidate/Dr. Malek is not, like his medical predecessor, harboring secret dreams about one day calling 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue “home.” He does, however, intend to be around long enough to see the universal healthcare system he dreams of come into existence in the land he loves. And the straight talk Doc Malek offers just might be medicine to everyone’s fears. Look, yours truly has been writing about “health-care reform” since the 1980s. This “commission” here, that “task force” there. But 20 years later, America still has the most bloated, expensive, complicated and wasteful health-care system on Earth. Only lately have a few brave souls decided they will no longer ignore the 800pound gorilla in the corner of the room — the private health insurance industry that simply has to take its cut. David Sirota, one of the leaders of a new generation of straight-talking political writers with Capitol Hill experience (he served on Bernie Sanders’ congressional staff ), hit the ol’ health-care nail on the head in a Monday column in the Washington Times. “Here’s an idea rarely discussed in our nation’s capital,” began David. “Health insurance should not be a for-profit industry.” Sirota noted that study after study shows government-run health-care systems such as Medicare and the Veterans Administration deliver “better, more cost-efficient health care” than does the for-profit health-care industry. The patients are happier and healthier, too. And poll after poll shows that’s the way Americans want to go. Everybody knows the for-profit insurance companies will always try to squeeze out the biggest profit possible. It’s the nature of the beast. As Sirota put it, “Follow the money.”

— Colin Rugg, Bartender That explains why in the last six years the health insurance industry has donated more than $370 million to politicians. And Sirota points out that Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Rich Santorum was last year’s No. 1 recipient. Guess who was No. 2? New York Democrat Hillary Clinton! Obviously, folks, Big Health Insurance has had this game wired for a long, long time. But Sirota, a brave new voice himself, cites other new voices such as Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Physicians for a National Health Care Program — www.pnhp.org. “These and other leaders are breaking the silence and addressing the taboo subject of making health care off-limits to profiteers,” writes Sirota. “And the louder their voices get, the closer this country will be to getting the not-for-profit health-care system its citizens want and deserve.” Dr. Malek, the rookie Progressive in the Gov-Lite contest, told us he is a member of Physicians for a National Health Care Program. Surprise, surprise! There are thousands more like him. Malek is single and originally from the Buffalo, New York, area, a blue-collar kid who went to medical school. He moved to Vermont almost six years ago. Likes the people and the mountains. He calls it the “best decision of my whole life.” Turns out Doc Malek has been asking the Sirota Question for quite some time. Why do we need this useless layer of bureaucracy jamming things up so that Big Insurance can profit from healing the sick? Legalizing booze, you may recall, put bootleggers out of business. Ending Prohibition in 1932 meant booze in America became available and affordable again. Wouldn’t legalizing universal health care, making it a right of citizenship, do the same for the health insurance bootleggers, while making health care available and affordable to all Americans? “The biggest source of waste in the health-care system that you can get rid of without anybody missing a doctor visit or anything is the waste in the insurance companies,” said Doc Malek. He mentioned all the “advertising” and “lobbying” they do. And when they do “strategic planning,” the Progressive physician told us, “what they’re really doing is figuring out which people they don’t want to insure, which people they do want to insure because they’re better health risks, and whether to have a $10-thousand deductible or a $3-thousand deductible.” Candidate Malek called the for-profit health insurance industry “a complete waste.” He told us of the extra cost, staffwise, it adds to his medical practice and that of every doctor out there. Each insurance company has different forms,

requirements and procedures. A great system, eh? Incidentally, the two Ds in the race, House Health Care Committee Chairman John Patrick Tracy of Burlington and State Sen. Matt Dunne of Windsor County, are not conceding defeat. Tracy scoffed at the suggestion that Malek the Prog would be good for at least 10 percent of the popular vote in November. â€œIf you want determination, look at what Iâ€™ve done!â€? said Tracy, referring to the Catamount Health legislation that Gov. Douglas signed. Tracyâ€™s â€œdamn proudâ€? of it, though he readily concedes, â€œItâ€™s not perfect.â€? â€œWe could have walked away from the table,â€? he said, â€œbut it would have meant 20,000 uninsured Vermonters would not be getting insurance starting in October of next year.â€? Sen. Dunne acknowledged he voted for the bill Tracy calls â€œlandmarkâ€? legislation on his website. But Dunne did not share John-Johnâ€™s enthusiasm. â€œI donâ€™t think anyone believes itâ€™s a solution to the health-care crisis we have,â€? said Dunne, â€œand I share many of Dr. Malekâ€™s concerns that itâ€™s not financially sustainable.â€? Dunne added, â€œNo one should be putting up a banner that says, â€˜Mission accomplished.â€™â€? Interesting. Law & Order Race â€” The race to succeed Chittenden County States Attorney Bob Simpson (a former reporter) looks to be the hot one for Primary Day. Three fine Burlington-area lawyers are vying for the Democratic Party nomination. The battle has been publicly waged for weeks with a spirited political lawnsign competition in certain Burlington neighborhoods. And, this being the Internet Age, the candidates are also using their websites to show some muscle. Each has a page proudly listing their many supporters. Very interesting. Candidate Rob Backus at www.robbackus.com posts the names of about 80 supporters. Local political â€œcelebritiesâ€? among them include City Councilor Andy Montroll, who lost the mayoral primary to Hinda Miller, who lost the mayoral race to Progressive Bob Kiss. Also backing Backus is Phil Fiermonte, former Progressive city councilor and longtime aide to Congressman and soon-to-be Sen. Bernie Sanders. So is Ward 5 Democratic City Councilor Joan Shannon. Librarian Trina Magi, nationally recognized for standing up to the Patriot Act, and Chapin Spencer, Local Motion bicycle guru and former Prog city councilor, are also on the Backus team. Candidate Ted Kenny of Williston proudly lists more than 180 supporters on his

mdhv-Simpleshoes080906

website at www.tedkenny.com. The Williston selectman grew up in the political world. His dad was a top aide to Gov. Phil Hoff way back when. And, indeed, Vermont’s first Democrat to hold the governor’s chair tops Candidate Kenny’s endorsement list. Former GovLite and current comeback kid Doug Racine is there, too. As are Winooski Mayor Clem Bissonette and Elizabeth Skarie, a former Progressive state senate candidate with infamous premium icecream connections. Ben & who? Candidate T.J. Donovan at www.donovanforstatesattorney.com has the longest web address and the most supporters’ names posted — more than 370 names and many local “celebrities” among them. Former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, the Prog who became a Democrat in order to get clobbered by Jim Douglas in the 2004 governor’s race, tops Donovan’s list. But T.J. didn’t have to go far for political types. His uncle is State Sen. Jim Leddy. His mom is State Rep. Johannah Donovan. State Sens. Dick Mazza and Hinda Miller are backing him. So is Chittenden County Sheriff-for-Life Kevin McLaughlin. And there are 68 names on T.J.’s list that are followed by “Esq.,” which means the person named is a bloody lawyer! But will the best website win? Crazy World, Eh? — Politics does have its “Twilight Zone” moments, but we’re sure there’s a perfectly sound, rational and well-thought-out reason why the richest man in Vermont is running for the U.S. Senate this year. It’s just that no one’s uncovered it yet. Rich Tarrant has had a great ride in life, starting from scratch in New Jersey and working his way to the top of the corporate ladder at IDX in Vermont. He’s got a new Bentley at his new $8.9 million hacienda right on the ocean in Florida. Nice. But Richie Rich has yet to articulate why he wants to be Vermont’s voice in the United States Senate. What’s the political cause he’s dying to lead at this late stage in the game? Tarrant and his campaign pro Tim Lennon showed up at the Bristol Town Green Sunday evening, hoping to steal a little of the media spotlight from the congressional candidates. Democrat Peter Welch and Republican Mark Shepard had organized a one-hour “Conversation on the Green.” Two independents joined them in Bristol: Denny Morrisseau and Keith Stern. The Conversations on the Green are a wonderful idea for bringing candidates and voters together and keeping candidates on their toes. GOP U.S. House favorite Martha Rainville, the ex-general, has been strategically dodging them, as she carefully avoids political fire fights. Surprisingly, Tarrant HQ put out a press release Friday announcing Tarrant would follow the 7 p.m. House “conversation” in Bristol with a Senate conversation at 8 p.m. As Nancy Remsen of The Burlington Free Press politely described it, “As darkness started to settle on the green, Eric Davis, a Middlebury College professor and Sunday’s moderator, called the event to a close. Rich Tarrant, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat, had arrived to continue the conversation with voters, but nobody stayed.” Nobody stayed? Candidate Tarrant attempted to get

an audience on his own. All we caught on tape was this brief exchange between Tarrant and an unidentified male. Male: I want to see you go back to Florida where you belong, Rich. Tarrant: You told me that once in Burlington. Male: Twice! Once in Montpelier, too. Tarrant: Oh, was that you in Montpelier? I don’t forget. Male: You’re not a Vermont resident and you shouldn’t be our senator, Rich. Your residence last year, according to your taxes, is in Florida. Tarrant: We’ll see how it sugars out. Richie, why are you running? After taking a couple days off from his big-bucks, nonstop TV advertising, Tarrant was back on the air this week with a new TV spot that attempts to show his soft side. Apparently, Tarrant HQ has been hearing what we’ve been hearing about how his seven-month TV blitz has been turning viewers off and driving a few people batty. The former corporate CEO, they tell us, seems stiff, mean, impatient and one-dimensional. In his newest ad, Richie Rich plays Ol’ Grandpa and takes a question from his granddaughter: “What qualifies you to be a candidate?” “Experience building a business,” replies Tarrant. “Creating good jobs.” Nice slow-motion shot of Richie smiling and laughing and playing with the grandkids on the couch at the end! Tarrant’s desperate need to develop a warmer and fuzzier image was highlighted this week with the release of the Rasmussen Poll on Vermont. While 52 percent said they had a “very favorable” impression of Independent Bernie Sanders, the prohibitive frontrunner in the U.S. Senate race, only a measly 16 percent have a similar “very favorable” impression of Rich Tarrant. Twice as many Vermonters had a “very unfavorable” impression of him! This comes after the most expensive, longest-running TV campaign in Vermont political history. A campaign that’s turned Rich Tarrant into a household word in Vermont! Unfortunately, it’s not the kind of household word one mentions at the dinner table. P.S. The Rasmussen Poll also found only 15 percent of Vermonters “strongly approve” of President George W. Bush’s job performance. Fifty-seven percent “strongly disapprove.” On the abortion-rights issue, 68 percent said they were “pro-choice,” while 24 percent answered pro-life. Also, 22 percent of Vermonters polled said they take the Bible literally. And is America’s political system badly broken? Would you believe 63 percent answered yes? The number is rising. Fast Results — Last week we noted Burlington Police Chief Tom Tremblay’s pledge to get BPD a useful website was six months behind schedule. But in the last few days things have changed! Deputy Chief Mike Schirling, the new Boy Wonder, directed us to the new BPD website at www.bpdvt.org. Lots of new info posted, including 30-day arrest records and weekly police logs. There’s still a ways to go, but this marks a significant first step in informing the public about just what the cops do.m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

Dear Cecil, How long are these huge dams, like the Hoover Dam, engineered to last? How would we go about replacing it if it began to weaken or became obsolete? What’s the largest dam ever to fail? Craig S., Jacksonville, Florida Don’t sweat the big dams, chum. It’s the little ones you should worry about. Most of the small- and mediumsized dams in this country were built to last just 50 years. (Nowadays, from what structural engineers tell me, the typical design life is more like 100 years.) According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, about 30 percent of the more than 76,000 dams in the United States are older than 50 years — and by 2020, that number will increase to more than 80 percent. That’s a lot of old dams, some of which hold back not just water but toxic sediments from early industrial operations. Once they start to go, a lot of people are going to be in deep . . . OK, maybe not raw sewage. But some mighty unpleasant stuff. You asked about huge dams, though. Just so we can put this on a scientific basis, the International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) defines a large dam as one more than 15 meters tall or impounding (i.e., holding back) more than a million cubic meters of water; there are more than 39,000 such dams worldwide. Large dams for obvious reasons are designed to last a lot longer than the small-to-medium kind. According to all published sources I could find and the engineers I spoke to, megastructures such as the Hoover Dam are designed to last indefinitely provided they’re properly maintained. The chief construction supervisor of the giant Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in central China — though not yet operational, its recently completed main wall is five times the size of the Hoover’s — reportedly said in 1999 that it was “difficult to predict” how long the structure might last, but his team was “endeavouring to assure” that it would hold forever. You’re thinking: Even God doesn’t build things to last forever. Notwithstanding press release claims that the Three Gorges engineers learned “all they could about concrete” in their effort to make the dam extraordinarily durable (one would certainly hope so), let’s not expect miracles. Of the large dams tracked by ICOLD, at least 300 have experienced accidents. These weren’t all catastrophic failures, but if you’re an engineer in charge of building a big dam, you definitely want to give some thought to what can go wrong. Plenty of bad things can happen to a dam, not all of which involve a collapse. The spillways and pipes may erode, the sluice gates and valves may fail, or, if it’s a hydroelectric dam, the powerhouse equipment

may (excuse me, will) wear out. The reservoir may silt up — some predict the Three Gorges Dam will become choked with silt in just 50 years. (Lake Mead, formed by the Hoover Dam, lost about 15 percent of its capacity between 1936 and 1964 due to silting — more than 5 million acre-feet.) I’m guessing, however, that you’re more worried about spectacular disasters than too much mud. Suppose you stroll out on the Hoover Dam and notice — goodness, is that a crack? Repairing a dam wall is tricky. With a small dam the water can sometimes be drained, allowing repairs to be done safely. But imagine trying to drain the Hoover Dam to repair cracks at the bottom — it can’t be done. Larger dams are usually drained part way to make repairs easier, but with the really big ones even that’s a major undertaking. Divers are sometimes used to inspect dams, but it’s not practical or safe to have them attempt major structural repairs. If a smaller dam can’t be repaired and poses a risk of failure, it’s torn down as soon as funding and resources are available. When the Hoover or Three Gorges gets to be a menace . . . well, we’ll cross that dam when we get to it. Disasters can happen even if the dam doesn’t break. The towering 860-foot Vajont Dam in Italy was responsible for approximately 2000 dead in a 1963 accident — but the structure itself suffered only minor damage. A huge rockfall into the reservoir sent an enormous splash of water over the top in a wave more than 80 stories high, sweeping downstream and wiping out several villages. Still, the mother of all accidents in terms of scale and destruction was surely the 1975 failure of the Banqiao Dam in China (capacity 492 million cubic meters), which was just one of 62 dams destroyed (some intentionally) in a concatenating horror show, the result of record-breaking rains, that left millions homeless and more than 25,000 dead.

Dubya Doped?

couple of years ago, when the world seemed a little less bleak than it does now â€” a little, mind you, not a lot â€” a reader wrote in to say that he was tired of my â€œconstant rants about Dubyaâ€? and wondered if I could â€œever write an entire column without once mentioning the name George W. Bush.â€? The answer is no. As you can see from the above sentence, itâ€™s impossible. But I do get asked the question a lot. Even the so-called Bush haters are tired of hearing

Thereâ€™s absolutely nothing in national or world affairs that Bush and his regime havenâ€™t touched and, by touching, made worse. about him. â€œOh, fer crissake, Pete!â€? they complain. â€œCanâ€™t you write something â€” anything! â€” that isnâ€™t about that wetbrain in the White House?â€? And the people who admire Bush are even more expressive, believe me: â€œYou fâ€”kinâ€™ stinkinâ€™ liberal queer â€” get over it! George Bush won the election fair and square, and heâ€™s gonna be our Prezdint till every one of you filthy homos dies from AIDS like you deserve!â€? Ooh-la-la! I hear that in Washington theyâ€™ve started serving French fries again in the congressional cafeteria, the idea of â€œFreedom Fries,â€? after five years, being a little too stupid for even Republicans to contemplate. Well, never mind. Whenever the â€œWhyDonâ€™t-You-Write-About-Something-Else?â€? question raises its head, I do what every serious journalist does and try to please the people. Over the past year, Iâ€™ve written about topics as diverse as the James Frey literary scandal, â€œThe Star-Spangled Banner,â€? the plight of the Nukak Indians in Colombia, Randy â€œDukeâ€? Cunningham and Angelina Jolie â€” but damned if they didnâ€™t all lead back to Bush, one way or another. It simply canâ€™t be helped. Thereâ€™s absolutely nothing in national or world affairs that Bush and his regime havenâ€™t touched and, by touching, made worse. I donâ€™t know why this should be; I just know itâ€™s a fact. And, far from pleasing the people, my feeble efforts to get off Ding-Dongâ€™s back seem only to inflame them further. My column about Angelina Jolie, for example, in which I suggested that she be made Queen of America in the absence of a Bill of Rights, brought on more angry mail than Iâ€™ve had since the lesbians called me â€œtransphobicâ€? nearly a decade ago. My friend and former college roommate, rock star James Velvet (www.jamesvelvet.com), tells me that this is because writing about celebrities hits people â€œwhere they live,â€? and I guess heâ€™s right, because I got a similar wash of impassioned emails when I once did a column about Renee Zellwegerâ€™s hair. For the record â€” Iâ€™m sure youâ€™re

This problem of not writing about Bush is becoming so serious that I actually consulted one of my editors about it last week, who agrees that the worldâ€™s a mess on account of Bush and his policies, but suggested that I write about testosterone instead.

On the Waterfront

hen Waterfront Theatre opened its doors in the Lake and College building last summer, Burlington’s performing-arts community got a long-awaited gift: a small, dedicated theater space available to local companies. Under the direction of Matt Wohl, who leased the facility from owner Main Street Landing Company, Waterfront debuted with a lively schedule. A re-constituted Green Candle and Vermont Theater Ensemble were among the presenters who stepped in. But after the first few months, activities tapered off. By spring, the theater space was dark most nights. On May 1, Wohl moved on to devote himself to his production company, renamed Outside the Box, and his improvisational Kamikaze Comedy troupe. “I like producing and directing more than managing a space,” he says. Main Street Landing “re-developer” Melinda Moulton took over administration of the 140-seat auditorium. Rechristening it the Black Box Theatre, she redefined “Waterfront Theatre” to refer to all the public areas on the building’s third floor: the Black Box, two reception areas, a conference room and the new, 240-seat Film House, which opens next month during the Burlington Book Festival. BBF organizers have rented “every available inch” of the building, says Moulton. Other clients — presenters such as the Vermont International Film Festival, businesses looking for meeting space and families planning weddings and bar mitzvahs — can use just one or a few rooms, as needed. This flexible approach will make for a “really vibrant, happening place,” Moulton predicts. But making theater happen takes more than just good intentions and savvy property management. Basic design is an issue at the Black Box. Its name suggests versatility, but stadium risers and bolted-down seats — recycled from the old Cinema 9 — severely limit directors’ options. “There’s no wing space,” points out actor Wayne Martens, whose Death of a Salesman was the theater’s inaugural event. “There’s no place to put a set. It’s a lecture hall.” Other awkward features: a tech booth on a side wall from which a section of the stage can’t be seen, and a large window on the wall behind the stage — before sunset, light leaks through the curtain. Wohl denies these are problems. “It’s a great space,” he insists. “I will do shows in that space in the future.” Technical glitches were ironed out after the first month, he says. And though Wohl concedes that the number of shows dropped off after the fall, he calls the trend “a scheduling thing”: “We had a group that was going to take six weeks of theater time and they backed out.” Some producers did return. Catalyst Theatre, which presented the 9/11themed The Guys last October, staged The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in

December, and has scheduled a threeweekend run of Howard Zinn’s The People Speak next month. Artistic Director Veronica Lopez agrees that in the beginning there were technical difficulties, such as sound bleeding in from the adjacent atrium. But she sees these bugs as “growing pains” that are far outweighed by the venue’s benefits. Commodious green-room amenities, a box office in the lobby and underground parking make the facility “heaven,” Lopez says. “Waterfront Theatre is just a gem, and we’re doing everything we can to make it work.” Burlington playwright Maura Campbell, whose one-woman show Tying Up Sandima was part of the openTODD REED ing lineup, also returned in the winter, featured jewelry artist for with a fundraiser for Kids on the Block.

A new generation of über-local, premium ice cream makers now shares the freezer shelves with the corporation that produces Chunky Monkey and Phish Food. The two biggest natural-food stores in Chittenden County — City Market and Healthy Living — carry a combined total of four Green Mountain brands, from Leonardo’s Italian and Blue Moon sorbets to Wilcox Dairy and Strafford Organic ice cream. You have to work a little harder to find Island Homemade Ice Cream, which Gary and Patty Sundberg started making, and serving, two years ago at the seasonal snack bar next to their home in Grand Isle. Last year the couple closed the savory side of their business to focus on their frozen assets; they went on to win two awards from the National Ice Cream Retailers

Their “Dew Fresh Strawberry” and “French Vanilla” wowed judges, who sampled stuff from 50 other contenders. Despite the national acclaim, only four establishments carry pints of Island Homemade, and they’re all within 10 miles of Grand Isle: A&B Beverage, Dick Mazza’s General Store, Sam Mazza’s Farm Stand and Keelers Bay Variety. Cone-sized portions are available at Burlington Bay, Z Scoops in Shelburne and the Alburgh Country Store. The Sundbergs, who are middleaged retirees, do it all themselves and have no plans to expand. “We don’t want to be in every gas station,” says Patty, a former school bus driver. She and husband Gary handle deliveries — with occasional help from their son — as well as sales, production and, this summer, dishing. In addition to regular Wednesday gigs at the South Hero Farmers Market, they’ve worked the Green Mountain Chew Chew, concerts at the Champlain Valley Expo and two recent back-to-back weekend Craftproducer festivals, in Stowe and Manchester. They haven’t had a day off since May. The Sundbergs’ four-hand operation is in full swing on a Thursday night at Snow Farm Winery in South Hero; the Island Ice Cream stand has become a fixture at the weekly musical picnic, strategically positioned next to the live band.

We’ll just buy it, and the next day we’ve got sorbet,” Gary says, offering a sample from a tub of pale pink ice in the freezer that looks, and tastes, like a distillation of summer. Coming soon, “the cantaloupe and musk-melon are killer,” he promises. A little later in the season, Allenholm Orchards in South Hero supplies the raw materials for an end-of-the-summer “apple-pice cream.” “I do think people appreciate it when you use local ingredients. It gives you a fresher take on things,” says Gary, 51, a former Verizon engineer who still works a few days a week for his old employer. Vermont chefs certainly notice the difference. Custom work for area restaurants, from Shore Acres to the Daily Planet, is a huge part of the Sundbergs’ business. They make greentea ice cream for A Single Pebble and coconut and ginger for Adrianas in Burlington. South Hero’s Blue Paddle has an exclusive on their pink grapefruit sorbet, while Tuscan Kitchen on Shelburne Road serves a pistachio, black cherry and strawberry-packed spumoni. Vanilla-buying Leunig’s had a shot at Bailey’s Irish Cream, but “it never made it onto the menu,” Gary says, “’cause the employees ate it all.” At Taste of Burlington, where the owner has replaced all the old ice cream with Island varieties, the Sundbergs’ blackberry sorbet recently ended up in a duck entrée. The meat “traditionally pairs well with acidic berries,” Chef Brent Leary explains, “and their sorbets are made out of

nothing but that — pure fruit.” He brought the sorbet to room temperature and infused it into a demi-glace made with veal stock. “It saved me the step of having to macerate the berries and cook them down into a liquid form.” Leary adds, “You have to have pure, fresh ingredients if you’re going to add them into something like this.” What makes one frozen fruit creation better than another? Like the owners of Strafford Organic, the Sundbergs took a course at Penn State to learn the science of ice cream making. Trial and error played a role, too — not just in designing the product but in familiarizing themselves with regulations that get increasingly onerous as an ice cream operation expands. Gary attributes Island’s uniqueness to a combination of high-quality ingredients, minimal air incorporation and a “magic elixir” that cuts through the milk mixture, which is 14 percent butterfat, to give it a “heavier consistency without that greasy-mouth taste.” The Sundbergs currently buy their ice cream mix from Booth Brothers, but would happily switch to an allVermont supplier if there were one. Another secret is small batches — a gallon and a half is the minimum order — served fresh. The hundreds of scoops the Sundbergs pressed into cones and dishes on Thursday were probably made two or three days earlier. “That’s the low-down on the whole thing. We take care of it; we make sure

it stays at the right temperature. You know what happens to ice cream when you open and close your freezer?” Gary says. The right taste is Patty’s territory. Even without a professional food background, she has a feel for frozen flavors. “I’ll try the stuff and say, ‘This tastes pretty good,’” Gary confesses. “But she’ll say, add a little more sugar, or berries. She’s got all that.” Both Sundbergs like to experiment with ingredients, as evidenced by the Number 9 sorbet they cooked up for Magic Hat. “It was excellent,” Gary reports, noting a similar Guinness experiment failed because it “got foamy and expanded too much.” Such concoctions would have been inconceivable before Ben & Jerry’s. So would the price of Island Homemade’s premium pints: They sell for $4.29 at A&B. Thanks to a couple of goofy Vermont guys, people have higher expectations for ice cream than they did 50 years ago, when it came in halfgallons of vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. Higher even, perhaps, than when it went the way of Cookie Dough and Heath Bar Crunch. “Ben & Jerry’s opened the market for guys like us — little ice cream makers,” Gary observes. And that’s a good thing, especially if you live in the Champlain Islands. Here you can have black raspberry ice cream — made from fruit picked down the street. Next week? m

From Employee to Entrepreneur: Exploring Business Ownership Through Franchising

Aug. 24 • 7-9PM • Holiday Inn, Williston Rd The Entrepreneur’s Source in Burlington, VT is pleased to present a free seminar. This seminar is targeted towards people who are exploring business ownership as a career option, and are seeking more information and resources. This event will discuss franchising, the types of opportunities that are available, and a systematic approach to discovering the “right business” for you.

Seating is limited. Pre-registration is available by contacting Patrick Burns at: JPBurns-esource@verizon.net or calling 802-863-0077

eople like to ask questions. “Play any good games lately?” “Aren’t you a little old for video games?” And the ever-popular “Will video games turn my kids into murderous monsters?” “No,” I assure fretting parents and grandparents. “They won’t.” It’s a simple answer, and is based on common sense. Think about it: Video games have grown from a nerdy pursuit largely enjoyed by children, and adults who act like children, to a mainstay of global entertainment. And yet, we don’t see masses of people running around the streets trying to shoot each other as if the whole world were a level in “Grand Theft Auto.” In fact, crime figures show that youth violence in the U.S. has actually declined as game sales have increased. We might not know what videogames are doing to us. But they don’t seem to make us violent. Crazy, multitasking, fantasy-addicted, Pavlovian button-mashers, maybe. Just not violent. I have kids and, like most kids, they love to play video games. I’ve always found it interesting that when they play games with their friends they are more animated, participate more vigorously in the activity, and get more excited than they ever do sitting in front of the TV watching a movie. They love games because they get to participate, and that includes hopping up and down and hollering at the screen like football fans. Crusaders against videogame violence — and videogames in general — are right when they suggest that games can get under our skin, change the way we think and affect our behavior. Where they go wrong is in assuming that game players take away only the bad messages from games; that kids mindlessly absorb the negative and never bask in the positive. Games have come a long way since the days of “Pong” and “Pac-Man.” Game producers spend years and millions of dollars to realize rich and complex worlds that players can explore and enjoy. Sure, some of those worlds are horrific places filled with zombies, criminals and troublemakers. And, just as with books, film, music and theater, some of this content is not intended for children. The trouble is sorting the kid-friendly content out of the stream of available material. Even the game ratings don’t help as much as you might think. Thanks to constant pressure, videogame ratings have become overly conservative. A tongue-incheek World War II shoot-’em-up such as “The Outfit” is no more violent than The Dirty Dozen, nor more mature than the classic war flick Kelly’s Heroes. And even though you’ll find those chestnuts in rotation on Turner Classics, where any kid with a remote control can view them, “The

Outfit” suffers under the “M for Mature” rating. Some states even want to make it against the law for a kid under 18 to con a sales clerk into selling him a copy. Ultimately it’s not about whether some games are good or bad for children in general. It’s about which games are appropriate for your little ones. And here the best advice to parents is just good advice in general: Play with your kids. Coffee-shop pundits and dorm-room philosophizers can debate whether video games are art. But the verdict is in on whether they inspire art. Just check out www.randomizer.se for proof. Using modified GameBoy hardware, this Swedish hacker produces wondrous sonic textures that veer between something you might hear in a classic game and beats pulsing from the neighborhood techno club. On either account, this music brings a sort of outer-space quality and rock appeal showing that games offer an expressive palette to motivated artists. m Most Requested Game Rentals — Week of July 24 1. “Dead Rising” — Xbox 360; Capcom 2. “Prey” — Xbox 360; Take Two 3. “Chromehounds” — Xbox 360; Sega 4. “N3: Ninety-Nine Nights” — Xbox 360; Microsoft 5. “NCAA Football 07” — Xbox 360; Electronic Arts 6. “Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II” — Xbox 360; Electronic Arts 7. “NCAA Football 07” — PlayStation 2; Electronic Arts 8. “Super Dragon Ball Z” — PlayStation 2; Atari 9. “Saint’s Row” — Xbox 360; THQ 10. “Gears of War” — Xbox 360; Microsoft Source: GameFly.com New Releases “Dead Rising” — X360; Capcom; Aug. 8 “Brave: The Search for Spirit Dancer” — PS2; Sony Computer Entertainment; Aug. 8 “Bomberman Act: Zero” — X360; Konami; Aug. 8 “Backyard Baseball 2007” — GCN; Humongous; Aug. 8 “The Cheetah Girls” — GBA; Buena Vista Games; Aug. 8

JULES FISCHELMAN AND CATHY RESMER

<MEDIA>

Tell Me About It Welcome to StoryCorps, where you can spill your guts — and shed some tears — for posterity

isa Janicki’s job makes her cry. She’s an interview facilitator for StoryCorps, a national oral history project sponsored by the Library of Congress and the Corporation for Public STORY Broadcasting. For the past three years, CATHY StoryCorps has been gathering interRESMER views from people all over the country; documentarians like Janicki have IMAGES recorded more than 7000 to date. MATTHEW Their efforts were inspired by the THORSEN Works Progress Administration, which conducted a similar series of interviews in the 1930s, and produced a series of richly detailed portraits of Depression-era American lives. StoryCorps hopes to surpass the scope of the WPA — founder David Isay plans to record 250,000 interviews in 10 years, making this the largest oral history project ever attempted. But that description makes the work sound dry, and it’s anything but. Janicki works in one of StoryCorps’ two mobile recording booths, housed in a sleek Airstream trailer. For three weeks this August, her office is parked on Church Street in Burlington, in front of City Hall, as StoryCorps collects conversations with Vermonters. Every day, Janicki ushers people into the darkened soundproof chamber in the back of the Airstream and listens as they talk about their lives. The hushed interior of an Airstream seems an unlikely venue for emotional, heart-to-heart talks, but they happen often, and Janicki says it’s difficult to remain detached. “I think I tried to be tough at the beginning,” she admits, “but it didn’t work.” Now, says the otherwise sunny

Middlebury College grad, “I cry often.” Public radio listeners can relate. All the interviews Janicki and her colleagues record are archived in the Library of Congress, but excerpts of the best of them are broadcast on National Public Radio. These 3- or 4minute sound clips are often intensely personal and yet breathtakingly universal. The best ones contain details that give listeners a sense of time and place while also revealing some essen-

notes while it was going on — I was too busy talking. And crying. I should point out that tears are not mandatory; they’re sometimes just hard to avoid. That’s because StoryCorps participants don’t answer questions from facilitators such as Janicki; they interview each other, usually in pairs. When you choose your interview partner, you’re supposed to pick someone to whom you’re intimately connected, such as a family member,

she says, but when it does, it’s often because people don’t think they have anything to say. “A lot of people just don’t think that they’re that interesting,” she marvels. “We’re sort of there to tell them, ‘Yes, you are interesting, your story should be told, say more about that.’” Most participants come to the booth with questions in mind, but those who are wondering what to ask can use the question generator on the StoryCorps website. It suggests lists of

tial truth about the human experience. Twice in the past two months I heard StoryCorps segments while driving and was so moved I practically had to pull over to weep. That’s what I call good radio. So how does StoryCorps generate this remarkable material? I got a chance to find out firsthand when I sat down in the Airstream for my own 40-minute interview last week. Though I confess I didn’t take any

close friend or community elder. And you’re encouraged to ask the kinds of questions that elicit an emotional response. The feeling behind the answers — and the person to whom those answers are directed — gives the interview its magic. Janicki says she’s just there to make the participants comfortable and to deal with the technical aspects of the recording process. But she’ll jump into the conversation if interviewees get stuck. That doesn’t happen often,

queries, such as “What is your earliest memory?” and “How would you like to be remembered?” These seem basic, but they’re exactly the sorts of prompts that spark some of the most interesting responses. My favorite StoryCorps clip is an 84-year-old man’s response to his daughter’s question, “Can you tell me the scariest moment when you were a little boy?” In this excerpt, which you can hear >> 26A

in the audio gallery on the StoryCorps website, Dan E. Andrews Jr. tells his daughter, Mary McCormick, about walking along some train tracks in California with a friend, Joe, and Joeâ€™s younger brother one winter during the Great Depression. They were collecting the bits of coal that had fallen beside the tracks. The boys decided to cross a railroad trestle to pick up coal on the other side. â€œWe started walking across the trestle,â€?

train washed over them. McCormickâ€™s interjection punctuates the clip beautifully â€” â€œYou saved his life,â€? she says. The power of this story lies in its specificity â€” the shaking of the tracks, the hard sole of the boyâ€™s shoe, the heat of the trainâ€™s steam â€” and in the spontaneous, unrehearsed way in which itâ€™s related. Listening to Andrews, you canâ€™t help empathizing with his fear and his relief. I get chills just thinking about it.

They called me. Vermont Public Radio is partnering with several community groups, including the Vermont Folklife Center, R.U.1.2? Queer Community Center, and the Vermont Council on Aging, to extend StoryCorpsâ€™ reach beyond the usual public radio crowd. Approximately half of the 130 interviews the mobile team conducts in Vermont will be with people who have been handpicked.

Andrews recalls. â€œAnd suddenly we could feel the tracks shaking, and we heard the train whistle, and way behind us was an express train coming through.â€? Andrews saw Joe grip his brotherâ€™s hand, but the smaller boyâ€™s foot slipped and stuck between the timbers. â€œJoe kinda panicked and ran off the end of the thing,â€? Andrews remembers, his voice trembling. â€œAnd I got down and I tried to pull the little boyâ€™s foot out, and I lifted him up until he cried because his leg hurt, and I realized, my goodness, this is desperate.â€? He then tells how he bent down, unlaced the boyâ€™s hardsoled shoe, and pried his foot loose. As the two of them fell into the snow bank beside the tracks, the hot steam from the

Of course, not everyone has such a heart-stopping story to record â€” I certainly donâ€™t â€” so at first I wasnâ€™t sure whom Iâ€™d interview. But ever since Iâ€™d heard StoryCorps was coming to town, I knew Iâ€™d sign up to do it. I mean, who doesnâ€™t want to have stories from their life recorded in the Library of Congress, and possibly aired on NPR? Since the slots for the mobile booths fill up fast, I planned to call as soon as registration opened, like a crazed fan trying to get tickets to a sure-to-besold-out show. Sure enough, the Burlington slots filled up in a matter of hours, but it turns out that I didnâ€™t have to call to get one.

VPR producer Leah Hollenberger told me she offered me an interview because sheâ€™d liked a Motherâ€™s Day essay I wrote for Seven Days. I wrote about being â€œthe other motherâ€? to my son, Graham; my partner, Ann-Elise, is his biological mom. It probably didnâ€™t hurt that she knew Iâ€™d also write a story about doing the StoryCorps interview, but I choose to believe that she picked me because of what my perspective would add to the project. Hollenberger suggested that I interview my partner. But I had a better idea. Why not interview my friend Jules Fischelman, my sonâ€™s sperm donor? The more I thought about it, the more I realized Jules was perfect. Itâ€™s not something I think about every day, but we do have an interesting history. Our intertwined web of connections is precisely the kind of anthropological artifact that StoryCorps is meant to record. Jules and I met years ago when we lived together at the Green Mountain Student Co-op on Pearl Street. We stayed in touch after we moved out; I was a reference for him when he applied to the company where heâ€™s worked for the past eight years; he came to our civil-union party in 2000. And then there was that night almost two years ago when we asked him to be our sperm donor. Our relationship deepened further last year, when my partner and I introduced Jules to our friend Rachel. Rachel already had a daughter â€” conceived via artificial insemination using sperm from an anonymous donor â€” but she was single. And she was looking to date a really nice guy. The two of them hit it off, and before long, Rachel was pregnant with Julesâ€™ baby. She gave birth to Ira Sebastian on July 29, barely a week before my StoryCorps interview with Jules.

coming THIS sunday to Sam mazza’s!

Cathy Resmer and Jules Fischelman talk about the night in October 2004 when Cathy popped the question, after one of Fischelman’s potluck dinners. JULES FISCHELMAN: It was a really fun night. I remember it was one of the funnest potlucks that we’d had, it was just a wonderful group of people, there was tons of conversation, there was just really good energy in the house. And you and Ann-Elise and a couple other people were sticking around to help clean up . . . So I remember — you’re facing the sink. My sink. And you’re washing dishes. And I’m standing to your left, I’m pretty sure. Um, we’re talking. And there’s a pause. And then you ask, I don’t have it word for word, but you ask, ‘Would you like to be our sperm donor?’ Aaaaand I just pause. I have no idea what’s going on. I think that I said, ‘Wait, what, really? What?’ And my instant reaction, the instant reaction I had — beyond just trying to process the words — was, ‘Yeah, totally! I’d love to! That’d be great.’ I felt completely warmed by even the question. Like, here’s a person who wants something from me that’s significant, you know? That was an amazing moment . . . I never asked you how you got to that point. I have no clue. All I know is you appeared in my kitchen one day during a potluck and asked me if I would be your sperm donor. So how did that happen?

FARM STAND • BAKERY • GREENHOUSES CATHY RESMER: Well, my recollection . . . of that conversation is actually that you had asked us if we were thinking about having kids, and that’s why I asked — JF: Really? CR: Yeah . . . because we had actually decided before we came over there that we were not going to pop the question right then. Because we wanted it to be the right time . . . But, you were talking about children, and I just thought, you know, this is the right time. Like, we had a nice dinner, we had a great time with all these people here, and, you’re right, the energy in the house was right. It was just a good time to ask.

As countless friends and family members have pointed out, this is the sort of thing that could only happen in Burlington, so it was a perfect fit for StoryCorps. But I was still a little nervous, especially when I showed up the day the booth opened in Burlington and ran into former Governor Madeleine Kunin and her brother, Pulitzer Prizewinner Edgar May. They were headed into the booth to talk about their experiences fleeing Nazi Germany as children. They were actually scheduled for the second interview of the day. The first slot went to a mother and daughter pair — Sherry and Tara Mahady — who were talking beneath the Airstream’s awning when I arrived. I approached them and asked what they had talked about in the booth. “My impending death,” Sherry glibly replied. She calmly explained that she has two types of cancer, and has been told she has just six months to live. She’s refusing treatment, planning to live out the rest of her life still drinking Scotch and smoking the cigarettes that caused her cancer. She took a drag off one as we talked. Her daughter told me that the two had had many “honest conversations,” and that she had grown to see the dialogue between them as a gift. “When I listen to StoryCorps,” Tara said, “I feel like

it’s a gift. Just to be able to take what I feel like is a gift from my mother and share it with other people is an amazing opportunity.” Compared to them, it didn’t seem like I had much to say. But they encouraged me. “It’s important that you tell your story,” Tara said. “We’re taking this snapshot of what Burlington, Vermont was like in August 2006.” And I’m part of that. I felt that Friday morning, when I closed the door on the airlock that separates the Airstream office from the recording booth. I sat down in the booth across from Jules, and Lisa Janicki arranged the large microphones suspended before us on wall-mounted holders. A box of tissues sat between us on the table. I actually choked up before we even got started. Janicki told us that we’d have to look into each other’s eyes during the interview, so the sound would flow properly into our mics. I felt tears in my eyes when I stared straight at Jules — he looks so much like my son. But it’s not as if our conversation was sad; there was a lot of laughter, too. And when Jules and I did tear up, it was when we talked about how delighted we are that we’ve become connected in these strange and wonderful ways. I’m pretty sure I heard Janicki sniffle. m

Power Drive The cruel fate of the EV1 is the subject of Who Killed the Electric Car? which opens Friday at the Roxy in Burlington. Chris Paineâ€™s 92-minute documentary gives moviegoers yet another inconvenient truth to contemplate: the economic, political and psychological factors behind GMâ€™s decision to crush every existing EV1 despite growing consumer demand. Narrated by Martin Sheen, the film focuses on smog-ridden California, where stringent 1990 state emission standards required that electric cars account for a percentage of all new auto sales. The EV1 was never marketed with much pizzazz â€” GM ran a rather spooky TV commercial about pollution. Although in the doc an actress named Colette Divine describes her EV1 as â€œcool, fast and sexy,â€? it wasnâ€™t enough, apparently, for carmakers and oil companies. They began pressuring California to lower its groundbreaking emission rules, and the Bush administration joined corporate lobbyists in a 2003 lawsuit that spelled doom for the EV1. By then, GM had switched its allegiance to the Hummer, which became all the rage among Hollywood stars. Today, ads for this fashionable gas-guzzler promise that owning one will help you â€œget your girl on,â€? or become so manly youâ€™ll never eat tofu again. In Who Killed the Electric Car?, the EV1â€™s many West Coast fans hold a mock funeral to mark its demise. But the spirit of this environmentally sound vehicle lives on 3000 miles away. EVermont plans to surpass the Solectria this fall with an even more advanced prototype: the Evergreen. â€œWeâ€™re here to say that the electric car is not dead,â€? proclaims John Kassel, a Burlington attorney and chairman of EVermontâ€™s board. â€œWeâ€™ve been keeping them alive. The big automakers should be doing it,

Kassel notes. â€œNow that itâ€™s $3, people ask me all the time where they can get one.â€? Unfortunately, they canâ€™t. EVermont turns out a limited number of test vehicles. The three upcoming Evergreens may become part of â€œa shared-car program with local transportation organizations,â€? Girton says. Some used EVermont cars were sold on the Internet or at state auctions. In 2004, Kassel paid $2500 for one of the original models that runs a mere 35 miles per charge. â€œThatâ€™s fine for 90 percent of our familyâ€™s needs,â€? he says. â€œMy kids take it to high school.

sions was driving the technology in the 1990s, so hybrids seemed like a compromise in Vermont,â€? Kassel says. â€œWeâ€™re a little greener than other places.â€? Some people see promise in biodiesel or ethanol. Hydrogen fuel cells, touted by the Bush administration, are still decades away from reality. In an entirely different scientific approach, last month EVermont debuted the stateâ€™s first hydrogenburning car and requisite filling station, in Burlington. Garabedian describes this prototype as â€œa bridge to the future, because itâ€™s a cleaner fuel that can be locally generated, not from a hole in the ground half-a-world away.â€? At $5 to $10 per gallon, hydrogen is costly, but he theorizes that might become the price range of gasoline before too long. EVermontâ€™s visionaries temper their idealism with practicality. Theyâ€™d like to see a local cottage industry that could manufacture electric vehicles. Kassel hopes to forge a partnership with the University of Vermont, which â€œwants to create a green Silicon Valley to bring a lot of green, high-tech jobs here,â€? he suggests. â€œWe will end up with electric cars in America,â€? predicts Miracle, who took the premier Evergreen on a successful 10-mile maiden voyage last week. â€œTheyâ€™re the most efficient way to get to the store without having to pedal. We can make them with all the accoutrements â€” air bags, heaters, air-conditioners, whatever. If you canâ€™t give one to your mom, forget it.â€? Garabedian appreciates the cross-continental arc of progress: â€œCalifornia was the catalyst. Vermont continues to pursue more sustainable transportation for modern society.â€? He pauses before â€œgoing out on a limbâ€? to suggest a revolutionary mind-set: â€œMaybe we need to stop thinking of transportation as personal property. It can be a service that we pay a monthly fee for in order to get all the mobility we need. One day you might want a pickup; another day, it could be a compact.â€? Isnâ€™t this idea a bit like, gulp, communism? â€œWell, itâ€™s actually how we use the Internet,â€? Garabedian notes with a smile. As he parks his Solectria Force, the swelter of climate change outside is a reminder that EVermontâ€™s emission-free mission may be a lifesaver. m

OPERATION IRAQI FOOTAGE

SPC. MICHAEL MORIARTY WITH VIDEO CAMERA

Armed with guns and cameras, Guardsmen tell — and show — it like it is in The War Tapes story by Ken Picard

images from The War Tapes “Today was the first time I shook a man’s hand that wasn’t attached to his arm.”

The War Tapes: A soldier’s eye view of the War in Iraq. Opening August 11 at the Roxy Theatre in Burlington. www.thewartapes.com

Those chilling words, spoken matter-of-factly by Sergeant Stephen Pink of the New Hampshire National Guard, tell viewers right away that The War Tapes isn’t their grandfather’s Saturday afternoon war movie — or, for that matter, Platoon or Full Metal Jacket. Pink, 24, is a member of Charlie Company, 3rd Battalion of the 172nd Infantry (Mountain) Regiment, and one of the 64,000 National Guard soldiers who’ve been sent to Iraq. Just before his unit shipped out in February 2004, New Hampshire film director Deborah Scranton and Vermont executive producer Chuck Lacy traveled to Fort Dix, New Jersey, 10 movie cameras in hand, looking for soldiers who were willing to film their entire one-year deployment. The result of that effort was The War Tapes, a 97-minute, award-winning documentary about the U.S. occupation of Iraq as seen through the eyes of Pink, Specialist Michael Moriarty and Sergeant Zack Bazzi. Compiled from 800 hours of footage shot in and around Baghdad, as well as another 300 hours of stateside interviews, The War Tapes is the first-ever war movie filmed by the soldiers themselves in a combat zone. Raw, unflinching and almost entirely uncensored, the film offers viewers unprecedented access to the daily lives of U.S. soldiers who are stationed in Iraq’s deadly Sunni Triangle — and their family members back home who anxiously await their return. The War Tapes, which opens this Friday at the Roxy Theatre in Burlington, not only fuses the citizensoldier with citizen-journalist; for many people it also transforms the war from a distant political abstraction into an intimate, first-person reality. The three soldiers featured in the film weren’t handpicked by a Hollywood casting agent. When they accepted their Sony Mini DV cameras, tripods, microphones, batteries and stacks of blank tapes, they were

largely oblivious to how much work the project would entail, unsure of how their words and images would be used — uncertain even if the movie would be produced at all. As Pink tells Seven Days, “All I knew was that I was getting a free camera.” The filmmakers didn’t know whether their considerable investments of time, money and effort would bear fruit, either. “When we started, we had no idea whether the soldiers would actually film, whether we’d get the tapes back or whether it would even work,” says Lacy from his home in Jericho — which, coincidentally, is where the Mountain Infantry Battalion is headquartered. “And, it was a constant concern that someone in the Pentagon would pull the plug on us.” Fortuitously, someone in the New Hampshire National Guard had seen a television documentary Scranton had made about World War II veterans, and invited her to embed with their unit. She declined, but instead came up with the idea of giving the soldiers cameras and letting them do the filming. From then on, the project had the unflagging support of the New Hampshire National Guard. “From the beginning, I promised them that we would tell the story, their story, wherever it took us, no matter what,” Scranton says. “And I promised them we wouldn’t twist their words.” Over the next 12 months, the cameras and microphones became just more pieces of equipment in the soldiers’ Humvees, along with their radios, air-conditioners, GPS units and .50-caliber machine guns. They were mounted on helmets, dashboards, gun turrets and night-vision goggles, and they survived more than 1200 combat operations and 250 direct enemy engagements. In the process, the cameras captured the brutally honest remarks and observations of soldiers at their most visceral and vulnerable.

Though all three soldiers belonged to the same unit, they come from diverse backgrounds, enlisted for different reasons, and held divergent views on the reasons and justifications for the Iraq war. As the men’s stories unfold, it’s clear none of them can be easily typecast or pigeonholed. Michael Moriarty, 35, is a forklift driver from Windsor, New Hampshire, with a wife, a 4-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter. Describing himself in the film as “substantially patriotic,” he rejoined the National Guard after the 9/11 attacks and told his recruiter that

he’d only reenlist if he were assigned to a unit headed for Iraq. Moriarty had no prior experience with journalism or electronic media; he tells Seven Days that he was particularly skeptical the movie might come off as antiwar, anti-Bush or “Michael Moore-ish.” But he proved to be the most prolific of the three cameramen, generating 225 80-minute tapes. Stephen Pink, born and raised in Kingston, Massachusetts, is a carpenter and self-described ski bum who spends most winter weekends pounding the slopes of Jay Peak. An aspiring writer, he joined the military to help pay for college. In the film, Pink shows no sympathy or remorse for the insurgents he’s killed — in fact, his graphic images and accompanying commentary after a particularly nasty firefight were the only footage censored by military commanders. But Pink’s journal entries featured in The War Tapes are almost poetic in their depiction of the carnage. For instance, in one entry he compares the aforementioned severed limb

ally, I have no issues with war,” he tells Seven Days. “I’ve been doing this job my entire adult life since I was 18. But as this movie shows, I have issues with this one.” The War Tapes not only blows away all previous coverage of this conflict, it also explodes the myth that American soldiers are automatons with monolithic, hard-right Republican politics and a simplistic understanding of the reasons they were sent into battle. “The mistake we made in Vietnam was that we blamed the war on the soldiers,” says Lacy. “In this film, it’s clear that we have three soldiers with three different points of view on the war, and that the points of view of the soldiers who are serving are more representative of the public as a whole than you’d think.” Lacy, who is married to Vermont Speaker of the House Gaye Symington, is an accomplished entrepreneur with diverse business interests; he’s a former president of Ben &

A Lebanese-born American who escaped Lebanon’s civil war with his family when he was 8 years old, Bazzi is the only one of the three soldiers who speaks fluent Arabic. An avid outdoorsman and history buff who reads The Nation, he bemoans Bush’s reelection and rails against a war that’s being fought, he suggests, so that some “redneck fuck” can drive his half-ton pickup. “Fuck the oil,” he tells a fellow soldier while they’re waiting in a Humvee on the outskirts of Fallujah. “I’ll walk everywhere in the U.S.” But Bazzi also arrived in Iraq as a seasoned combat veteran for whom being a soldier is “a fundamental part of my identity.” He joined the Army in 1997 and was deployed to Bosnia and Kosovo for military operations that he strongly believes were morally justified. “Philosophically and person-

They decided to collaborate on The War Tapes and co-founded Scranton/Lacy Films.

McNamara. Since its release, The War Tapes has been awarded the prize for best documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. But unlike other films of its genre, The War Tapes is not an overtly political movie, at least not in any traditional sense. Though each of the soldiers struggles with his own internal contradictions about why he’s there and what the U.S. presence will mean for the future of Iraq, The War Tapes is not pro- or antiwar. Neither does it try to justify or

condemn the merits of Operation Iraqi Freedom. That is not to suggest the movie doesn’t include harsh criticisms of how the war is being waged, or strong condemnations of the corporations that profiteer off the blood of Americans, Iraqis and “TCNs,” or third-country nationals. “I can support the war, I can support the president and I can support the intentions for us being there,” Moriarty says. “I can also admit that KBR [Kellogg, Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary] is raping the American taxpayer and nobody’s questioning these things.” In fact, one of the film’s strengths is its ability to portray the surreal nature of 21st-century warfare, in which each day soldiers are sent on deadly missions to protect convoys of consumer goods such as cheesecake and videogames that, ironically, are meant to boost soldiers’ morale and make them feel more at home. In one scene, Bazzi is sent “outside the wire,” that is, beyond the heavily fortified base at LSA Anaconda, to defend a convoy of tanker trucks disposing of the camp’s septic waste. As the truck pumps out its foul contents along a roadside, Bazzi remarks, “Every time some kid sees a commercial

saying, ‘Join the Army and fight bad guys,’ they need to include this — streams of poop water.”

Besides the obvious difficulty of winnowing 1100 hours of raw footage into a cohesive 97-minute narrative, the filmmakers had to overcome a host of other logistical complications in putting together The War Tapes. Foremost among them was having the film’s director 6000 miles away from the action. “The thing that really made it happen was Deborah [Scranton] being in constant email and instant messaging with the soldiers in Iraq,” Lacy explains. At the beginning of their deployment, he says, the soldiers were primarily interested in capturing combat footage — firefights, roadside bombs, demolished vehicles and the like. It was Scranton who encouraged them to talk about themselves and tell their own stories. And it wasn’t until halfway through their deployment, Lacy adds, that the soldiers began to truly appreciate the significance of the stories they were telling. The soldiers all say their first concern was that the filming not get in the way of them performing their missions. According to Bazzi, it was Pink who first devised a method for mounting

the cameras on the Humvee dashboards and gun turrets. From then on, whenever the soldiers left their base, they could just hit the “play” button and let the camera run, changing tapes and batteries only at secure locations. In all, 17 soldiers shot footage for The War Tapes, though only three are featured in the movie. As Lacy explains, when it became clear who the main characters were, the filmmakers began interviewing their family members — notably Moriarty’s wife, Pink’s girlfriend and Bazzi’s mother — and provided them with cameras as well. Needless to say, the process wasn’t always easy or smooth, especially during the soldiers’ long and stressful workdays. Moriarty, a gunner, says he had so many other daily duties to perform — such as cleaning, loading and maintaining the weapons — that on 16-hour days, maintaining the film equipment was just one more unwelcome chore. “There were times when I wanted to throw that camera in the river, just smash it,” he says. “It was aggravating, it was frustrating, it was a lot of work. And there were times when I told Deborah, ‘That’s it. I’m done!’ And she’d pep-talk me to keep filming.”

WANTED: A FEW GOOD JOURNALISTS? The soldiers who shot footage for The War Tapes made the filming fit around their real jobs, but the Vermont Army National Guard is now looking for recruits who want to make documenting Guard life a full-time gig. The VTARNG placed an employment ad in last week’s Seven Days seeking “journalists, photographers and videographers” interested in joining the Guard’s Public Affairs unit, based at Camp Johnson in Colchester. Staff Sergeant Charles Elder explains that the VTARNG has several openings for enlisted personnel with or without previous experience. “That’s a bonus,” he offers, “not a requirement.” Elder says he’s received “a flood of calls” about the ad, though many of them came from writers who mistakenly thought the journalist job was a civilian position. It’s not. “You will be required to go to basic training,” Elder explains. From there, he says, recruits will be sent not to journalism school, but to the Defense Information School at Fort Meade in Maryland, where they will complete their job training. According to Elder, soldiers in the Public Affairs unit can expect to write stories and shoot photos for the VTARNG magazine. Videographers will shoot footage to be used in advertisements and training videos. “You would think for us it would be an easy job to fill,” he reflects, “but we just don’t get a lot of people who want to come in and do that stuff.” It’s not necessarily because of the occupational hazard — Elder says it’s not likely these soldiers would be deploying to Iraq. “They’re not a combat unit,” he says. “They don’t do that type of mobilization.” They do get to travel, though. This month, the Public Affairs crew is headed to South Korea, where they’ll document a VTARNG training exercise. Of course, if hostilities break out with North Korea, these soldier correspondents will be first on the scene. They could potentially cover a conflict for the Department of Defense. But don’t expect these reporters to pose questions about strategy — Elder says that critiquing the military is not part of their job description. “They don’t really criticize,” he says. “They don’t write an opinion column or anything like that. They write more of a generic piece and they let you draw your own conclusions.” Don’t look for them to break any sensational stories, either. “There are a little more stringent rules than a traditional newspaper has,” notes Elder. “They don’t want to write anything that’s going to compromise a unit. You can have The New York Times out there releasing classified information, but this publication is scrutinized for that.” In other words, Woodward and Bernstein wannabes need not apply.

Like the other two soldier-filmmakers, Moriarty admits heâ€™s glad she did. â€œIf I can answer questions for people who have a husband in Iraq or a soldier headed to Iraq, thatâ€™s such a great feeling,â€? he adds. â€œIt makes me proud to educate people in that way.â€? Pink agrees. â€œTo be honest with you, it really helped me understand better what Linds was going through,â€? he says, referring to his girlfriend Lindsay Coletti. â€œThatâ€™s the heart of this movie. What this can do for people is give them a glimpse of what itâ€™s like to be a soldier in Iraq, and also show what itâ€™s like for the families back home.â€? Executive producer Lacy believes the film also seems to have a therapeutic value for many of its viewers: It gives other soldiers a framework for starting to tell their own stories. â€œMy very favorite comment about the film was from a recently returned soldier from Iraq who said, â€˜Now I can talk about it. When I see this film, I can smell Iraq,â€™â€? he says. â€œâ€˜If I can show my family this film, then I donâ€™t have to start at the beginning.â€™â€? Not surprisingly, the film is garnering rave reviews, especially in towns with active military bases. â€œThe War Tapes is the closest

down and affect â€œthe boots on the ground.â€?

All three soldiers tell Seven Days theyâ€™re glad they made this movie, not only for what itâ€™s meant for them personally â€” Pink landed a book deal with Crown Publishing to compile his journal entries; Bazzi got an internship with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America â€” but also because of the opportunity it has given them to tell their own stories and those of their families. â€œI was a little nervous and anxious, of course, to see the movie for the first time, and a little shocked at how candid I was,â€? Pink admits. â€œThere were some things in the movie that I was surprised I said to the camera.â€? Moriarty says he was generally satisfied with how the picture turned out, though he expresses some minor disappointment that a few scenes couldnâ€™t be included. For example, an event that occurred on Veterans Day, when a dining facility he was in was hit by a mortar round right after heâ€™d exited it. He narrated the entire experience on camera afterwards, his uniform still covered with blood, but unfortunately the camera hadnâ€™t been

It was a constant concern that someone in the Pentagon would pull the plug on us.

CHUCK LACY, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, THE WAR TAPES you can get to Iraq without actually enlisting,â€? says Paul Rieckhoff, executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and author of the book Chasing Ghosts. â€œNobody else has had this footage, nobody else has had this access â€” not CNN, not Fox, and none of the other documentaries Iâ€™ve seen. And to be honest, I donâ€™t think anyone else will have this access going forward.â€? Rieckhoff, who spent a year in Iraq himself, says that one of the most powerful aspects of this film is its ability to help civilians better understand the nature and complexity of this war and the â€œworld of grayâ€? in which U.S. soldiers operate. â€œWhen I was in Iraq, my guys would say, â€˜The only way you can tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys is, the bad guys shoot at you.â€? Rieckhoff also believes that The War Tapes is helping to reframe the debate about military misconduct. By no means does it rationalize or justify abuses such as those that occurred at Abu Ghraib and Haditha. However, Rieckhoff says it may help civilians better appreciate the pressures and anxieties that can drive soldiers to such extremes â€” and how top-level policies trickle

In it heâ€™s heard saying, â€œI donâ€™t care if we have to nuke this fucking place.â€? What the film doesnâ€™t show, he points out, is the context of that comment. Within the previous few minutes, his convoy had been hit by three roadside bombs, eight rocket-propelled grenades and a whole lot of small-arms fire. â€œI was at the end of my rope,â€? he confesses. â€œBut obviously, you canâ€™t include everything.â€? Bazzi says he stands behind everything he said and did in The War Tapes, and he believes the film is already having an effect on discussions about the war. â€œIâ€™d say itâ€™s made a difference,â€? he says. â€œCivilians who know nothing about this war, regardless of how many yellow ribbons they have on their SUV, have gained an understanding of what this war is.â€? That said, Bazzi does have one minor gripe. â€œThe only thing I wish they didnâ€™t have in there was when my mother said my name means â€˜blooming flower,â€™â€? he admits with a chuckle. â€œBut what are you gonna do? Mothers are there to embarrass their kids.â€? m

ardner McKay is one of the most fascinating men youâ€™ve probably never heard of: actor, playwright, novelist, sculptor, photographer, lion-tamer â€” yes, lion-tamer â€” and accomplished sailor. Itâ€™s tempting to aggrandize STORY someone with multiple talents as a clichĂŠ ELISABETH â€œRenaissance Man,â€? or to dismiss someone CREAN whose interests shifted continually as a dilettante. Neither label suited McKay, who died Sea Marks, in 2001. He just did what he loved, and he directed by Nick Corley, produced did it all quite well. McKayâ€™s 1971 play Sea Marks is a perfect by Peter Boynton. The Skinner Barn, reflection of the man: a modest gem, less Waitsfield. about surface flash than the facets underAugust 9 & 13-16, neath. This love story between a lonely Irish 8 p.m. $18. fisherman and an ambitious publisherâ€™s assistant has a quiet charm that works its way into your heart. Director Nick Corley has refreshed the two-person piece with a delightful new adaptation that integrates music into the storytelling. This updated version, in its

world premiere at Waitsfieldâ€™s Skinner Barn, floats on a tide of traditional and freshly composed Celtic tunes by the Vermont folk ensemble Atlantic Crossing, who fiddle, strum and drum throughout the show. There were surprisingly few rough edges, even on opening night. The combination of stellar acting and a toe-tapping score made Sea Marks a swimming success. â€œThe simpler the stories, the more epic they are,â€? McKay was once quoted as saying. And characters donâ€™t get any simpler, on the surface, than Sea Marksâ€™ Colm Primrose: a middle-aged fisherman conversant in mackerel, gulls and gales, but barely acquainted with electricity or women. He lives on a remote, rocky island off the coast of western Ireland, where his fishing partner is a father figure called the MacAfee. Colm looks forward to â€œcoming off the water at night,â€? rather than drowning, and drinking whiskey with his fellow fisherman at the pub.

He seems content never to have “courted” — until a woman from Liverpool, visiting the island for her cousin’s wedding, catches Colm’s eye. But the vision of Timothea Stiles, the city sophisticate in a red dress, sparks his imagination, and he begins an awkward correspondence with her. She doesn’t remember Colm at first — despite his inelegant collision with a punchbowl at the reception — but gradually warms to him over many months of letter writing. The passionate way he describes the land and the water intrigues her. Romance blossoms via post across the Irish Sea. When Timothea returns to the island for another cousin’s nuptials, the smitten Colm agrees to accompany her back to Liverpool. The transition from a written courtship to a physical one is difficult; even harder is taking the fisherman out of the elements that nourish his soul. The biggest shock is what career-minded Timothea has done with the poetic prose of Colm’s letters: She let her boss turn them into a book entitled Sea Sonnets. The publication of his intimate thoughts embarrasses Colm. He reluctantly agrees, because he loves Timothea, insisting only that the volume be renamed Sea Marks, after “those lines that the highest reach of the tide leave on the land to remind you that it’ll be back.” His discomfort increases — with the city and the relationship — as he finds himself marketed as the “primitive” poet of Clifforn Heads. In the end, shocking news from home about the MacAfee arrives like a

proud-shouldered in Colm’s dirty Aran sweater and Wellies. He also captured Colm’s intelligence and inimitable Irish sense of irony with a wry smile and quizzically arched eyebrows. His faraway gaze showed that Colm also longed for something over the horizon. Colm’s confidence melts when the “44year-old spinster-man” tries to woo Timothea in person. Price was simply hilarious in the moonlit scene, fortifying himself with swigs of home-brewed hooch as his character tries to drink his way to courage. Eventually, the confines of Liverpool sap Colm’s strength, reflected in Price’s subtle slump. He showed how the glint goes out of Colm’s eyes, and the audience learns — perhaps before the characters do — that only the light of the sea will restore it. There are layers to Timothea, too; like Price, Kearney-Patch painted a nuanced portrait of her character. Although Timothea occasionally reveals what lies beneath, she cannot change what she has become and will not go back to who she was before Liverpool. While Kearney-Patch’s face softened with Timothea’s love for Colm, her straight spine conveyed her character’s resolute commitment to her job and her city life. The former farm girl has turned her back on the “killing roughness” of her Welsh rural origins, “where things taste good only because they’re hard to come by.” Kearney-Patch matched Price’s comic gifts as well. She gave the moonshine-drinking scene a Hepburn-esque screwball feel:

Casting is critical in a two-person love story. If the actors can’t conjure believable chemistry, then it doesn’t matter how compelling the script is. With Jim Price as Colm and Kate Kearney-Patch as Timothea, director Corley hit a home run. Both actors are seasoned pros with a wealth of Broadway, off-Broadway and national credits. They worked marvelously together, tracing the arc of the relationship across the play — how it buds tentatively long-distance, opens with awkward charm when they meet, flowers, and then begins to wither in Liverpool. As the unease melts into familiarity, as their characters flirt and banter and fall in love, Price and Kearney-Patch made you care deeply about Colm and Timothea. Also important for Sea Marks is that the actors match their characters’ physical types. Price was appropriately rugged and brawny for the roughhewn, cold-climate fisherman. Kearney-Patch, by contrast, had delicate features and pale coloring that made her look refined but not fragile — perfect for Timothea, the city woman with roots as a Welsh farm girl. At its heart, Sea Marks is Colm’s story, and Price lovingly revealed all the layers of McKay’s “simple” Irish fisherman. He’s a man of great confidence in his own demanding environment, and Price stood

Timothea struggles to maintain her veneer of prim dignity while getting slightly sauced and trying to seduce Colm into moving to Liverpool. When Timothea reminisces about her childhood, Kearney-Patch lapsed into a coarse Welsh lilt and sprawled comfortably on the floor — a sharp contrast to her character’s otherwise tightly controlled physical carriage. Director Corley used Atlantic Crossing’s lively music in several ways: to flesh out the story; to speed up the dramatic motion of long stretches of letter-reading; and to create an expanded sense of the characters’ emotional and physical worlds. Band members Peter MacFarlane, Viveka Fox, Rick Klein and Brian Perkins became an integral part of the action, playing from on stage for much of the show. Some of the songs were entirely new; others featured fresh lyrics set to traditional tunes. The lyrics often commented on or advanced the story line. The opening song, “The Last Lonely Bachelor of Bally Bay,” established Colm as the central character, and Atlantic Crossing as the troubadours of his tale. “When Maggie and Ernie Wed” recounted the cousin’s unseen wedding — and gave the actors time to change costumes during the humorous number. “Guiding Star” was a beautiful love song that launched Colm and Timothea from the island to Liverpool. The integration of words and music wasn’t entirely smooth, however. Performers

And love for how he delivered his songs â€” My Way.

THANK YOU TO SEVEN DAYS READERS FOR OUR DAYSIES!

Unfortunately, the vocalists shone a little less brightly. Sinatra made singing and being cool look easy, but anyone whoâ€™s tried it â€” particularly both simultaneously â€” can tell you it ainâ€™t. And so anyone cast for My Way is faced with the inevitable conundrum: Should I try to sound and act like Sinatra, or just do it, well, my way? Original director Grapes addressed this with the admonition: â€œDo not let anyone do an imitation of Sinatra!â€? But he did advise finding singers who could at least channel the soul of Sinatraâ€™s recordings, and enunciate as well as he did. Still a tall order, especially for performers who have grown up in the era of hip-hop, not sock hop. That divide is manifest in the Playhouse program notes, where actor Mike Backes dedicates this production to his grandfather, â€œwho introduced him to Sinatraâ€™s music.â€? Backes plays Man #2, the de facto â€œyoung Frank,â€? and so is occasionally required to leap about the stage and act buffoonish. Backes has the physicality and animation for this, but one wonders if these more exuberant dance routines arenâ€™t better suited to musical comedy â€” or if director/choreographer Keith Andrews simply got carried away. At times Backes instead resembles a young

SEVEN DAYS | august 09-16, 2006 | feature 41A

Anyone cast for My Way is faced with the inevitable conundrum: Should I try to sound and act like Sinatra, or just do it, well, my way? Jerry Lewis. Vocally, too, heâ€™s less-than-smooth, so itâ€™s all the more impressive when he pulls off a somber tune. Jon Penick sounds the most Frank-like. As Man #1, he represents the mature, suave, utterly confident Sinatra. And though he looks as young as Backes, Penick tackles this challenge mostly, it seems, by relaxing: His movement and mannerisms are easygoing, and his vocal style almost has that famous phrasing. Penick is, in short, the most successful in both playing a character and being himself. The female roles in My Way are a little more complicated. The ladies obviously donâ€™t have to sound or look like Sinatra, but they do have to sing his songs while also representing the women he desired, in lyric or in real life. This leads to a couple of briefly jarring, sexist

exchanges. Mostly, though, the women have to look good and sing even better. Both of them easily achieve the former. Christy Faber doesnâ€™t seem quite old enough to be Woman #1, but she appears comfortable in her role, has a warm, musical-theater-strength voice, and exudes the confidence of a mature woman who is still a babe. Kristy Lynn Farrell, as Woman #2, is adorable and charming but seems miscast here: Her sweet, little-girl voice just isnâ€™t quite right for Sinatra. To her credit, though, Farrell has enough dramatic reach to play a dorky naĂŻf for one song and, for another, hop up on the bar and grind like a stripper. These four singers sound best in beautiful harmony; the Manhattan Transfer-style approach is most effective in the more cohesive second act. But at least one show last week

had an awkward moment near the end when, following a premature standing O, with images of Sinatra flashing on the backdrop, Penick had to inform the audience, â€œWe actually have one more song for you.â€? This score doesnâ€™t know when to stop. John Paul Devlinâ€™s Vegas lounge-inspired set design gets it right with shiny blue curtains hung from high, arched panels lining both sides of a multi-tiered stage; his lighting is spot-on, and the backdrop becomes a starry night, a Manhattan skyline or a sunset, as needed. Linda E. Kelleyâ€™s costume design is period-perfect: white and black tuxes for the guys and pretty, low-cut, sparkly dresses for the gals. Frank forecast? Casual fans will enjoy the show. Purists should stay home and cue up Nice Nâ€™ Easy. m

McKay â€” inadvertent renown, and a deliberate turning away from success as defined by others and towards fulfillment from something else. Fame found McKay almost accidentally from the time he was in his early twenties. Sculptor? An early work landed in a Museum of Modern Art exhibit. Photographer? His photos of the sinking Andrea Doria appeared in Life and The New York Times. The classic â€œyou-oughta-bein-picturesâ€? discovery in a Hollywood coffee shop (by thenstudio executive Dominick Dunne) led to McKayâ€™s starring role in the 1959-62 TV series â€œAdventures in Paradiseâ€? as Captain Adam Troy, a dashing voyager across the South Pacific. His looks and charm landed him on the cover of Life magazine, and linked in the tabloids with starlets such as AnnMargret, Julie Newmar, Suzanne Pleshette and Joan Collins. Fan mail gushed in at the rate of 5000 letGARDNER MCKAY ters a week.

But McKay walked away from the spotlight â€” including a movie role opposite Marilyn Monroe â€” and into restless years of real travel and adventure in the Caribbean, South America, North Africa and France. When he returned to Los Angeles, he acted occasionally on stage, but began to write plays and drama criticism. He also raised lions, cheetahs and ocelots. Eventually McKay married a beautiful Irish painter, had a family, and made his home in the shadow of an extinct volcano called Koko Head at the southeastern tip of Oahu. He became an avid sea kayaker, often paddling to distant Diamond Head and back. He wrote novels, as well as short stories for a program on Hawaii Public Radio, on which he read tales heâ€™d written â€œabout people off to one side.â€? The program ran until just before his death, from prostate cancer, at age 69. The poet of Koko Head penned his own epitaph. The last stanza reads: â€œI have sailed toward a high, steep island / Where my dreams would all come to be. / Never wanting to be done with the ocean, / Till each wave was done with me.â€?

sometimes struggled to balance the volume between dialogue and instruments. These problems occurred primarily in Act I, which was frontloaded with music. According to producer Peter Boynton, alterations have been made since opening night to address these issues â€” music changes to reduce competition with the actors and improve audibility of dialogue underscored with sound. The barn provided excellent acoustics overall, as well as the ideal rustic backdrop for the simple set. The farmer who built it surely never envisioned his posts and beams as a lovely proscenium arch. One doesnâ€™t have to stretch far to find thematic echoes between the fictional Colm Primrose and the real Gardner

<music> BEYOND BLUEGRASS :: Progressive Americana trio

BĂŠla Fleck & the Flecktones have served up engagingly complex music since 1989. Leader Fleck is a banjo virtuoso, comfortable in styles ranging from old-time to jazzfusion. His band includes bass god Victor Wooten and percussive oddball Future Man, both heavy hitters in their own right. Catch them this Thursday at the Green at Shelburne Museum as part of the Acoustic Planet II tour. Sharing the bill are bluegrass legend Del McCoury and Celtic fiddle sensation Natalie MacMaster.

sound bites OLD HIPPIE ALERT One glance at the upcoming concerts at Higher Ground proves that jam-rock is alive and well, at least ’round these parts. For the next several months, neo-noodlers including Widespread Panic, moe. and Umphrey’s McGee will supply feel-good tunes to students and townies alike. Me, I’ll be watching CNN on mute with the new Slayer album as the soundtrack. This week, jammers from an older generation aim for a piece of the action. Like patchoulisoaked vampires, they crave fresh blood. And their thirst is never slaked. First up is Big Brother & the Holding Company, who stop by Nectar’s on Wednesday, August 16. Yep, that’s Janis Joplin’s old backing band. Guess what? They look like yer granddad. In the years following Joplin’s departure and subsequent death, Big Brother has become a bar blues act. I gave a listen to their recent live disc, Hold Me, and it’s actually better than I expected. Still, it’s not 1967 anymore. Gone are the lysergic free-for-alls, replaced by refined solos and in-the-pocket grooves. Joplin ringer Sophia Ramos belts through the band’s back pages, sounding particularly electric on the Gershwin standard “Summertime.” And, since she’s probably not as booze-addled as her predecessor, she’ll likely make it through the entire set standing up. That same night, Grateful Dead beat buddies Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann reunite as Rhythm Devils at Higher Ground. They’ll hit the stage again the following evening. Elevator-fusion guitarist Steve Kimock and bass-slingin’ man-about-town Mike Gordon are also in the band. Shoring up a good bet, I guess. I’ve never heard RD, but I have been known to enjoy the Dead on long, strange road trips. Nevertheless, my “no Kimock” rule trumps any configuration of tie-dyed millionaires. To put it simply, you won’t see me there.

THE BEARDED ONE Speaking of strange trips, Nectar’s is once again playing host to Jerryfest, an annual celebration of nine-fingered axe icon Jerry Garcia. The show, spearheaded by erstwhile Dead covers act Blues for Breakfast, takes place on Wednesday, August 9. It was on that day in 1995 that Garcia departed the terrestrial plane. Who knows, maybe in a couple thousand years, folks will await his resurrection. It’s a historically significant date for other reasons, too: In 1969,

the Manson Family did their grisly business; Richard Nixon resigned in ’74; the Sistine Chapel opened in gay old 1483. There’s also that atomic bomb we dropped on Nagasaki. A few bummers, for sure. But, hey, no more Nixon! Anyway, back to Jerry. This year’s event, which also features guitar maestro Seth Yacovone, is a benefit for Conscious Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the hungry. Commemorative posters by JDK Design will be available for the donation of five canned goods or $5. Methinks Garcia would approve.

Burlington will heat up this week with the 12th annual Vermont Latino Festival, which takes place at various Queen City locations August 9-13. The celebration features a wide variety of activities, including family picnics, Latin aerobics and even a soccer match. But music is always the main attraction, and this year is no exception. Ten-piece salsa/merengue masters Grupo Sabor will perform spirited dance tunes at the Waterfront on August 12. Joining them are Black Beans, a band specializing in Caribbean and BERKLEE SCHOOL OF MUSIC BOB MARLEY ENSEMBLE South American styles including cumbia, guaracha and chachacha. The concert, which is free to the general public, kicks off at 6 p.m. The party continues with an 11 p.m. cruise aboard the Spirit of Ethan Allen III. Hard-working DJ Hector Cobeo will be spinning his signature mixes as patrons boogie their asses off. The brand-new vessel hosts two floors of dancing: salsa on deck one and tango on the upper level. Tickets are $13 and are available at the Flynn Box Office, by phone at 86FLYNN or online at www.FlynnCenter.org. For general Latino Fest inquiries, call 864-0123 or check out www.HermanosProductions.com/LatinoFestival.htm.

BLUES FOR BREAKFAST

DREAD DAYS OF SUMMER

August is a popular month for live reggae. Last week, there was the Rise Up concert; this week it’s the Vermont Roots Reggae Festival, which takes place in Newport, August 11-13. The event has a 20-year history, but management missteps and site difficulties have marred its once-stellar reputation. It looks like VRRF is back on the upswing, as this year’s party seems very well organized. Just some of the performers include The Meditations, The Itals, Nyabinghi Invocation and Batch & Ras Attitude. Also on the bill are Berklee School of Music Bob Marley Ensemble, a 15-piece band playing expanded arrangements of the reggae legend’s tunes. The group is composed of students enrolled in a Berklee course called “The Music & Life of Bob Marley.” Nothing says “hands-on learning” like a festival engagement. In addition to the music, there will be an organic farmers’ market as well as lectures on Rastafari culture and tradition. Camping is available, along with free spring water. Check out www.vermontreggae.org for the full roster, directions and more.

WAITSFIELD ROCKS This weekend, a handful of Vermont’s finest talent descends on the Big Picture Theater & Café in Waitsfield. According to organizers, the eight-act mini-festival is likely to become an annual event. The entertainment begins at 5:30 p.m. on both nights. The Friday, August 11, concert features jazz-fusion whippersnappers Table 45, cabaret sensualists The 78s, The Sky Blue Boys with bluegrass vets Banjo Dan and Willy Lindner, and ubiquitous art-rockers Swale. Saturday’s show includes torch-folk songstress Anna Pardenik, exploratory acoustic troubadour Austin Sirch, space rockers The Cush, and pop-friendly songwriters Flinn, Fitzsimmons & Meehan. In other words, it’s a pretty diverse lineup. Visit www.BigPictureTheater.info for the full scoop. m

reviewthis TRAGIC FALLACY, TRAGIC FALLACY

HAYMARKET ORPHANS, HAYMARKET ORPHANS

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD) Self-described “outspoken acoustic protest rock duo” Haymarket Orphans recently released a sparsely produced but powerful CD. The sound of the self-titled recording can be described as monochromatic: a riffing acoustic guitar, sometimes with a second plunking out a lead; bongo-style percussion; and a male vocal so far back in the mix that he might as well be singing in the next room. It’s too bad; the words are worth hearing. The Orphans know their message and stick to it. Charles Haymarket — he and his female bandmate claim they “keep changing their names in order to avoid becoming famous” — has a plaintive delivery that calls to mind the pop-inflected warblings of a young Lou Reed. The liner notes suggest we’re living “in a world that’s been union bashed, civil and human rights denied, red baited, world warred, nuclear bomb scared, Cointelpro’d, Watergated, Vietnamed, wiretapped, consumer distracted, downsized, outsourced, Sept 11th lied to, Iraq War lied to, Gitmo’d and Abu Ghraibed, spied on, stalked, and facing endless debt, spiritual decline and a trashed Earth.” In other words, we’re talking about good, old-fashioned protest music. Here are some of my favorite lyrics from this edgy, 10-song set. “Saratoga”: “It’s not fear that makes the man, but how he stares it down.” “Flag Song”: “Our flag’s been ripped down and shredded, by those who claim to love it most.” “Suits and Uniforms”: “Tanks and guns and bombs and planes, these are uniforms at play / badges, rank, decorum, honor / When all else fails, get out the armor, laws and courts seem made of stone, ask no questions, no one’s home / Sirens wail and lights a flashing, tensions build and heads a bashing, trouble brews investigations / who thinks cops have good intentions?” But Haymarket’s acoustic ire doesn’t stop there. “Tiny Little Moon” describes the ultimate consequence of battle: “Tiny little moon, if someday you glance, and we’ve gone quiet, and war wins in the end, and we go cold and dry, tell us if it was worth it.” The result of such a lo-fi recording is that you have to pay close attention to decipher the band’s impassioned prose. In this case, at least, it’s a good thing.

ROBERT RESNIK

Middlebury, Vermont, is home to Tragic Fallacy, a riff-happy quintet that plays with the energy of punk and the crunch of metal. Their self-titled debut favors passion over technique, with spirited, if sloppy, results. Following a homemade comedy routine, the disc kicks off with “Invisible,” a surging tune with both screamed and melodic vocals. Ben Mench Thurlow’s tribal toms provide an anchor for guitarists Olin Shumacher and Jesse Mench Thurlow’s careening riffs. The mixture of angst and exuberance is kidfriendly, but might not play well with more seasoned headbangers. “If Screaming Had a Color (It Would Probably Be Black)” continues the loud/soft formula with mixed results. The track has plenty of heart but is marred by distracting tempo fluctuations and guitar misfires. “Stuck in My Head” is a minor improvement. It opens with a clean guitar passage that would be more interesting if refined a bit further. Singer Isaiah Reed turns in a couple of off-key verses about soured romance before launching into a guttural howl. He’s more convincing at the latter, with a roar to match the instrumental aggression. “Burnout” features shifting time signatures that never quite coalesce. TF need to do a lot more woodshedding before attempting this kind of rhythmic complexity. But, hey, even Dillinger Escape Plan had to start somewhere. “Justice” contains a worthy riff or two, but Reed’s vocals are a little too whiny for my tastes. Why is it that the most prominent singing styles in today’s heavy rock are tortured squawks and cookie-monster grumbles? The pummeling guitars of “Half Lived” start out strong but ultimately fail to develop. On the other hand, the chugging breakdowns and start-stop riffs of “Remember” are actually pretty solid. The prominent Metallica-isms on “Our End” give the song a familiar feel, but the out-of-tune riffs are not yet arena-worthy. For now, Tragic Fallacy are neither catchy nor brutal. Still, they get an A for effort. With a bit more practice, the band might just break out of the metalcore bush league. I’m looking forward to it.

R EXHIBIT “Immortal Likeness,” prints, drawings, watercolors and photographs from the permanent collection that showcase the art of portraiture. Fleming Museum, UVM, Burlington. Through August 27.

ARTWORK “Portrait of a Woman” by Amadeo Modigliani

ealistic portraiture is an invention unique to Western civilization. In the art of non-Western cultures, individual physical details have historically been less important than spiritual identity and societal context. Ancestors, rulers and gods were the primary subjects for portraits, and self-portraiture was virtually nonexistent beyond Europe until modern times. In a current Fleming Museum exhibition, 36 portraits culled from the permanent collection span Western art history. “Immortal Likeness” is a marvelous little show that describes more than facial features; it’s also a display of technical mastery in printmaking, photography, drawing and watercolor. Self-portraiture may have been invented by a 13-year-old German boy in 1484. That precocious lad was none other than Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), a super-genius on par with contemporaries Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The Durer portrait in this show was made by Swiss engraver Francis L.M. Frostier in 1823, but it is a detailed copy of a Christ-like, mature Durer self-portrait painted in 1500. The intensity of Durer’s otherworldly stare in the original painting is faithfully preserved in Frostier’s likeness. Few artists copy features as slavishly as he did. Rembrandt van Rijn’s 1656 portrait of Johannes Lutma dates from the year of the Dutch painter’s bankruptcy. It has the same dark, moody foreground space that was finding its way into Rembrandt’s self-portraits late in his life. Here, Lutma is seated in a heavy chair and wears dark, bulky clothes. All in front of him is dark as well. The 1919 etching “Dying Woman” by German artist Kathe Kollwitz (1867-1945) captures the pessimistic zeitgeist of post-World War I Germany in the face of a beleaguered, middle-aged woman who seems to be dying on the inside. Kollwitz has captured her subject from above, focusing solely on the woman’s face. There is no background other than blackness. Like the Rembrandt, Kollwitz’ piece isn’t so much a selfportrait as a vehicle to express the artist’s inner struggle. Kollwitz’s son had been killed during the war and, like most Germans of the era, she faced a dim future. Photography has had a profound impact on portraiture. Most of the earliest daguerreotypes were portraits, and many advances in the medium were accomplished to make portrai-

ture easier to craft. So it also could be said that portraiture has had a profound impact on photography. “Hebrew Grandfather,” shot in 1930 by American photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971), harkens back to the roots of the medium. The silver gelatin print captures

The realism of photography had a direct and somewhat paradoxical effect on painting and sculpture, particularly in the realm of portraiture, by liberating the mediums to become more abstract. Freed from the responsibility to render literally, non-photographer artists began to experiment

“Immortal Likeness” is a marvelous little show that describes more than facial features; it’s also a display of technical mastery in printmaking, photography, drawing and watercolor. the peaceful air of an elderly gentleman, seen in profile and dramatically lit. Bourke-White’s sitter isn’t a specific individual but rather the epitome of grandfatherliness. Walker Evans (1903-1975) presents a portrait of a place in his 1935 “Barber Shop, New Orleans” silver gelatin print. An anonymous lady with a stylish hat stands at the barbershop’s entrance, surrounded by diagonal stripes radiating from the door in all directions. Such representations of place are common in many media, though we don’t often think of them as portraits of the everyday world.

with fresh pictorial ideas. By the time Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920) created the 1914-15 etching “Portrait of a Woman,” he had cast off European conventions of representation and had begun working with forms influenced by African masks. He also used line for its own sake, inventing contrapuntal rhythms with varied weights and directions of the mark making. For a likeness to become immortal — at least in art historical terms — it must be more than a documentary. When an artist produces a formally successful portrait, it has the power to transcend individual identity. m

IN TRANSIT

When rushing to catch a flight, viewing

art isnâ€™t the first thing on oneâ€™s mind. But if you arrive at Burlington International Airport early enough, youâ€™ll have time to catch Marina Epsteinâ€™s whimsical, mythological abstractions (above) at Gates 1 & 2, as well as Valerie Ugroâ€™s exhibit of Vermont watercolors in the Skyway Corridor. Burlington City Arts curates the airport; the federal Transportation Security Administration keeps it safe. But at least you donâ€™t have to take off your shoes to see the shows.

n a stunning moment of redemption for the embattled actor Mel Gibson, President George W. Bush today awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, telling the star, “Thanks for taking the heat off me this week.” Mr. Bush, who has spent the summer floundering amid crises in North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Lebanon, said that Mr. Gibson’s DUI arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic tirade had distracted the media and the American people for a solid week, “And for that I am eternally grateful.” “You have taken people’s attention from the mess I have made of things,” Mr. Bush said. “And that’s something that even talking about phony issues like gay marriage and immigration could not do.” Mr. Bush said that the

Gibson scandal had given him the “first real vacation I have had all summer.” Mr. Gibson accepted the coveted medal graciously, telling the president, “The only thing I value more than this medal is my deep and

+ The Worst Meal I Ever Had

PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN

Upon entering the Parkway diner on a busy Saturday afternoon, there was no room to even place my purse. I had to keep it on my shoulder when the waitress yelled at me for having it on the counter. The food did not help matters. The hot turkey sandwich I had was all tendon and gristle, with a thin, soupy gravy and soggy fries. My boyfriend had pancakes, which we previously did not think could be screwed up. The waitress joked at length about the fact that corn cannot be fully digested. Gross! Reviewed on July 12, 2006

PREVIEWS

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby HHHH

W DRIVING FARCE Ferrell feels the need for speed in the new one from Adam McKay.

hen it comes to big-name Hollywood comedies, summer has shaped up to be the cinematic equivalent of a 25-car pileup, with everyone from Vince Vaughn to Owen Wilson limping away from fuming wrecks. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, just as the season’s finish line comes into view, Will Ferrell is back in his best vehicle since Anchorman. Which makes sense, since The Legend of Ron Burgundy and The Ballad of Ricky Bobby are both collaborations with writerdirector Adam McKay. (What do you bet their next project has the word “saga” in its title?) The former satirized television news and the megalomania of an empty-headed star reporter. The latter satirizes the whole NASCAR scene and the megalomania of an empty-headed redneck driver. We all watch TV news. We don’t all tune in to the races. Fortunately for moviegoers, you don’t need to know Formula One from baby formula to know this is finger-licking funny stuff. Born in the back of a speeding car, Ferrell’s character grows up consumed with the idea of someday driving fast. The obsession leads him to life as a member of the pit crew for a driver whose career is in the pits. The fellow has grown so indifferent to coming in last, in fact, that he leaves his race car in mid-competition one afternoon to sit down at a stadium eatery and enjoy a chicken sandwich. This gives Ricky Bobby the opportunity to realize his longtime dream. He takes to the wheel, stuns everyone present with his performance, and goes from nobody to bigheaded buffoon faster than a Ferrari does zero to 60. Few actors do bigheaded buffoons as well as Ferrell, of course. And Ferrell does few things as well as he does this type of character. His Ricky Bobby is a comically preposterous monster of self-indulgence and delusion. He marries the first bimbo who flashes him once he becomes a winner. They build a mansion designed to dwarf the other homes in their neighborhood, and raise their two demon spawn (“Walker” and “Texas Ranger”) to be the rudest kids on the block. Dinnertime at the Bobby home, for example, is divided between Dad saying a hysterically meandering grace to the baby Jesus and the kids hurling insults at their feeble grandfather. McKay reveals a genius for the delicate art of devising gags that succeed in having fun at the expense of NASCAR culture without alienating it. The movie has the potential to appeal

equally to those without the slightest affinity for the sport and those for whom a human being strapped into a soupedup automobile and driving in circles for hours represents the apotheosis of athletic achievement. A prime target, naturally, is the tradition of covering every inch of a racecar with sponsor logos. Bobby is such a kid-in-a-candy-store rube that he sells the space on his windshield to the makers of Fig Newtons. Who’s not going to laugh at that? As Bobby’s best friend and fellow racer, Cal Naughton Jr., John C. Reilly reveals a flair for fast-and-loose improvisation likely to astound even his biggest fans. It’s clear that much of the movie consists of comic bits stitched together from separate loosely scripted sessions, and that in real life Reilly has no trouble keeping up with the picture’s star. On screen, it’s a different story, however. Ricky Bobby has such a sense of celebrity entitlement that he refuses to allow his buddy to win one himself every once in a while, and is too blind to notice the resentment building up in him, one slight at a time. This blindness — combined with an irrational fear of catching on fire — proves Bobby’s downfall when a traumatic accident on the track sidelines him and calls his future behind the wheel into question. This is the development that occasions the much-clipped scene in which Ferrell bolts from his totaled car wearing only his helmet and white BVDs, believing that he’s engulfed in flame and screaming, “Help me, Jesus, help me, Jewish God — help me, Tom Cruise!” You know something’s funny when you can see it as many times as you’ve already seen this on TV and still laugh when you see it on the big screen. Will Ricky Bobby ever race again? Will he recover from watching his wife leave him and marry his best friend now that he’s number one? Will McKay come up with an excuse to get Ferrell to run around in his underwear some more? Thankfully, the answer to each of these questions is yes, because deep down Ricky Bobby is a decent, if dimwitted, country boy. It’s not Naughton’s fault that he’s dumb enough to fall for the same gold digger his buddy fell for, and Lord knows, these are troubled times. If the questionable spectacle of Will Ferrell flailing down the road like a nutjob in his Jockeys somehow makes them the slightest bit more bearable, I say, long may he run.m

FIDEL

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Unfogging the War vate Palestinian land. As Mehalick crossed checkpoints between Tel Aviv and the volatile West Bank city of Ramallah, she often encountered hostility from police. She says that Palestinians living in the occupied territories frequently face much worse humiliation and harassment. Mehalick’s sojourn, which began shortly after she graduated UVM, was initially less about politics than matters of the heart. “I was traveling in Southeast Asia when I met my boyfriend,” she explains. He’s an Israeli graduate student and a former soldier. As a “refusenik,” his intention is to decline obligatory military service now that reservists like him are being recalled to fight in Lebanon. Mehalick, who is aligned with Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine and Israel, seeks donations for admission to the Euro Gourmet event. She studied Hebrew but doesn’t have a work permit to qualify for jobs in Tel Aviv. One of her goals is to start a weekly blog in the Holy Land to share experiences and observations with loved ones in the United States. Even in this intense Information Age, truth continues to be a casualty of war. The London-based filmmaker Pilger has denounced the English-

speaking world’s supposedly evenhanded media coverage of the Middle East powder keg, suggesting, “Impartiality and objectivity mean the establishment point of view.” Yankees beware: American filmmaker Estela Bravo’s Fidel is not a very balanced portrait of the controversial Cuban leader, who recently turned over control of the government to his younger brother Raoul. Cableaccess Channel 15 will broadcast the 93-minute doc at 6 p.m. this Sunday. While Fidel lacks opposing perspectives, however, it does present remarkable footage, such as the image of a somewhat flabby Castro swimming with his bodyguards in the warm waters of the Caribbean; or the moment, during a victory speech four decades ago, when hundreds of white doves were released over the crowd and one chose to land on the commandante’s shoulder. Superstitious supporters saw it as a divine blessing. U.S. intelligence operatives who have been out to kill him ever since the 1959 revolution would probably have preferred to see the birds poop. There’s also a vintage Edward R.

Murrow interview on CBS with a charming Fidel in pajamas, sitting next to his young son of the same name, who is holding a puppy. But in the film, warm-and-fuzzy gives way to the loquacious, angry guerrilla commander in his ever-present military fatigues. The human being inside the uniform is certainly a rare sight in this country. Estela Bravo’s credentials stretch back 30 years, including extensive nonfiction work that has aired on PBS and CBC. She had unique access to Castro, showing him sometimes in a reflective mood or displaying a keen sense of humor. World leaders such as Nelson Mandela warmly embrace him. The film also includes commentaries, generally disapproving of American foreign policy, from novelists Alice Walker and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Hollywood director Sydney Pollack, singer Harry Belafonte and former diplomat Wayne Smith. Missing in Fidel, though, is the critical voice of the Cuban exile community. At the very least, it would have been appropriate to once again hear the shrill cries of little Elian’s infamous Miami relatives. 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.

They make their own hay, milk their own cows and spread the cow’s manure as rich dark compost. The cheese that Dancing Farm makes, called Menuet, is hand crafted, seven days a week from fresh, un-cooled milk that flows directly from the cows in the milking parlor to the cheese vat. The result is a raw milk cheese with a rich, creamy texture and a sweet milky flavor that lingers, reminding you that contented cows make great cheese. Meet the folks from Dancing Cow Farm and try this fabulous local cheese, here at Healthy Living, on Saturday, August 12th between 12-3pm.

3 cups cubed fresh pineapple 3 tablespoons butter 5 teaspoons honey 6 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted 3/4 cup mascarpone cheese 3 teaspoons honey Lay the pineapple cubes on a paper towel and pat dry. Put the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Make brown butter by heating the butter until melted and just starting to brown around the edges. Add the pineapple and toss to coat in the butter. Add the 5 tsp. honey and toss to coat the pineapple with the honey. Cook until the pineapple is golden and caramelizing, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the pine nuts. In a small bowl mix together the 3 tsp. honey and the mascarpone. Place the pineapple mixture in a serving dish and top it with a dollop of the cheese mixture. Serve immediately.

COUNTRY KING

Anyone familiar with the 2000 cinematic odyssey O Brother, Where Art Thou can appreciate Ralph Stanley’s mournful Appalachian tenor. In the film, the Virginian sang “O Death”, a terrifying dialogue between the Grim Reaper and a young man racked with fever. Mortality isn’t Stanley’s only bag. The original “Man of Constant Sorrow” recently released a more cheery album of lesser-known tunes by The Carter Family. The old-time mountain gospel legend headlines the Lake Champlain Bluegrass Festival, backed up by his seven-man family band the Clinch Mountain Boys. Other acts at the three-day fest include the New England Bluegrass Band, Vermont’s Gopher Broke Bluegrass, and upstate New York’s Gibson Brothers, whose Red Letter Day album of originals just topped genre charts.

LAKE CHAMPLAIN BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL Friday through Sunday, August 11-13, Route 2, Alburg, various times. $15-45, free camping. Info, 482-8110. www.lakechamplainmusic.com www.drralphstanley.com

SEVEN DAYS

scene@â€™DOG DAYSâ€™ OPENING RECEPTION LAZY PEAR GALLERY, MONTPELIER, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 5-8 P.M. While I gazed at a wall of anthropomorphized canine oil paintings, chewing away at a dog-bone-shaped gingerbread cookie, I wondered why all galleries donâ€™t make themed food a priority at their openings. Perhaps itâ€™s to make sure that the hors dâ€™oeuvres donâ€™t trump the art on display? Luckily for the Lazy Pear Gallery, which is hosting artist Anna Dibbleâ€™s newest â€œDog Daysâ€? series, this is not a problem â€” though I did rather enjoy the appropriately shaped homemade cookies. Bright in both color and texture, Dibbleâ€™s work unabashedly beams at gallery-goers from the front room. A rusthued, fox-like dog mask grins excitedly. A contented bulldogesque mutt is expressed in shiny green and white strokes. A plaster-based black hound â€” wearing a simple red dress â€” stands on a table with other sculptures. â€œI got my first dog about a year and a half ago,â€? Dibble told an opening-night attendee, by way of explaining her choice of subject matter. A walk through the other two rooms at the Lazy Pear revealed a smattering of works by other artists â€” some dog-centered, most not. What they all have in common with Dibbleâ€™s displays is a lack of pretension. Nothing at the Lazy Pear, including the welcoming owners, puts on airs. Kids careened around the gallery, situated on the ground floor of a well-kept Victorian house, while their parents admired the artwork. The only thing missing from evening was The Real Thing: No live dogs were spotted on the premises. 3x7-CultSurv072606

REAL-TO-REEL While studio blockbusters routinely deal in six- or seven-digit figures, cell phones snap images and DV cams are the recording medium of choice for kidsâ€™ birthday parties, amateur film enthusiasts are seeking out movies from the era when celluloid routinely rolled in the backyards of middle-class America. Inheritors of spool-encased family films convene at three locations on Saturday to celebrate Home Movie Day. Experts evaluate vintage 8mm, Super8mm and 16mm film stock and offer preservation tips, then project those in good shape on a first-come, first-served basis. Itâ€™s anyoneâ€™s guess what will turn up: a wedding, an exotic vacation, a soldierâ€™s homecoming? Prepare for some moving pictures.

Teams camp out in 12-foot-square spaces designated for sizzling, and serve passersby spicy samples of spare ribs and other cuts cooked in each tong-toting head chef’s signature style. People’s-choice awards crown top tastes in amateur and pro divisions. A short train ride connects the two festival sites, and live music and a flea market provide pursuits for folks not preoccupied with pit recipes. Post-bash, evening fireworks evoke great grill sparks in the sky.

GLOBAL MARKET

Indigenous cultures worldwide are trying to preserve traditional arts and life on land usually owned by governments that donâ€™t always act in their best interests. Cultural Survival, a Boston-based nonprofit founded in 1972, has worked for 30-plus years to support native groups in the U.S. and elsewhere; recent efforts include affordable water access in Guatemala and Africa. This weekend, Cultural Survival hosts an eclectic outdoor shop-walk in conjunction with the Vermont Latino Festival. Skilled artisans and craftspeople from nearly every continent showcase Balinese batik fabric, Thai silk, African carvings, Masai and Navajo jewelry, hand-knotted rugs from the Middle East and hand-blown Guatemalan glass, among other finds. Live music and cultural demonstrations, including Native American drumming and singing, offset Indian, Asian and Pakistani food.

HOME SWEET HOME

The median ticket price of a U.S. home is still well over $200,000, but Karrie Jacobs doesn’t want to live in just any building. In 2003, the founding editor-in-chief of modern residential design magazine Dwell traveled in search of her dream home: a functional, modest, house that wasn’t cookie-cutter, for under a hundred grand. In her book The Perfect $100,000 House: A Trip Across America and Back in Pursuit of a Place to Call Home, she chronicles meeting with 23 architects and considering everything from pre-fab kits to the in-ground Earthships of Taos, New Mexico. Her starting spot? A two-week home design workshop at Yestermorrow Design/Build School. Jacobs returns to Waitsfield to talk architectural turkey in a lecture based on her book.

L RE A

AUGUST 09-16

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1986, an CANCER (June 21-July 22): A reader accident at the Chernobyl power plant in the Ukraine caused a nuclear meltdown. Radioactive waste spewed into the air, making the area uninhabitable. Twenty years later, humans are still absent, but wildlife is thriving. Native populations of badgers, wild boars and deer have multiplied, and species that had disappeared before the disaster, like the lynx and eagle owl, have returned in abundance. Birds are even nesting in the steel and concrete “sarcophagus” built over the exploded reactor. This is not to say that everything’s peachy. There are many problems lingering from the original devastation. I propose to you, Aries, that the situation in Chernobyl is a metaphor for something in your personal life. A place within you that endured a trauma has rebounded surprisingly, though it’s still wounded. Take inventory, then raise the ante on the healing process.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): The UK is populated by hordes of “overweight, alco-popswilling, sex-and-celebrity-obsessed television addicts,” according to the travel book Rough Guide to England. I recommend, therefore, that you avoid traveling to that part of the world if you’re a sensitive person who’s susceptible to taking on the attitudes of the people around you. The astrological omens suggest that you should take stringent measures to exorcise any impulses you might have to indulge in excessive consumption of bad food, numbing intoxicants, superficial sex, dumbed-down entertainment and mindless gossip about famous lightweights. For that matter, you should be ruthless in sealing yourself off from influences that tend to bring out the worst and the mediocre parts of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The wife of pro baseball pitcher Chris Benson has made public her desire to experience a wide array of erotic diversity while remaining faithful to her husband. “I would like to have sex with Chris in every major league stadium in North America,” Anna Benson told the press. She’s your role model for the coming week, Gemini. Your assignment is to expand the variety and explore the frontiers of your familiar pleasures.

named Amanda Jarosz has offered an alternative to the traditional name for our astrological sign: Canswer, a blend of “can” and “answer.” It’s not a viable long-term solution, but it would make a lot of sense in the immediate future. Here’s why. According to my analysis of the omens, you’ll be able to get a useful answer to just about any question as long as you craft it with thoughtful precision. So, for example, “How can I get more love?” is a sloppy formulation that won’t yield fruitful insights, whereas “What long-term plan can I set in motion that will help me earn more of the care and blessings I deserve from doing what I’m good at?” will be a gem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A few weeks ago, 8year-old Harrison Vonderau was playing golf with his dad on a course in Cleveland when he shot a hole-in-one. Father and son experienced an even more shocking delight 20 minutes later when the boy scored yet another hole-in-one. It was an almost unbelievable accomplishment for anyone, let alone a kid. Harrison is your role model for the coming week, Leo. I predict that a young part of you — either your inner child or your inner teenager — will score an unlikely and spectacular coup, the equivalent of two holes-inone.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Of all the times in your life when you have been in captivity, this has to be one of the least arduous and frustrating ever. I’ll go so far as to say that I have rarely seen a more beautiful prisoner than you; for a drudge in bondage, you’re ravishing. As hard as it may be to contemplate, however, it’s almost time to escape. Your dark though sexy night of the soul will soon come to an end. Don’t you dare linger any longer than you have to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): USA Today did a profile on business guru Doug Hall, who’s famous for his unconventional approaches to stimulating creativity. One of his techniques is “left brain, right brain storming.” Transcending plain old everyday brainstorming, it’s done with a team that blends people who specialize in ration-

Touchtone phone. al, linear thought (left brain) and those who are skilled at letting their imaginations go a little crazy (right brain). May I suggest you try it out? The coming week is a perfect time to undo your attraction to what has always worked before, and start heading in the direction of the unknown future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have found that introducing disorder into certain messy situations may actually spawn order. It happened as they worked with a network of interconnected pendulums that were all waving around chaotically. When they brought random forces to bear on the tumult, the pendulums locked into sync. The physicists’ results may not necessarily imply a universal law you should invoke in every circumstance, but it does happen to be applicable to you right now. The more unpredictable, effervescent, and even unruly you are — especially in the face of confusing circumstances — the better chance you will have of generating elegant success, and maybe even some beauty, truth and love as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In Britain’s last census, 390,000 people declared themselves to be members of the Jedi faith — a fictional religion depicted in the Star Wars movies. That was heartening to those of us who lobby for a wider array of belief systems. My ultimate hope, however, is for there to be 6.5 billion different religions — a singular form of worship for each person on the planet. It happens to be a perfect astrological phase for you to advance that cause, Sagittarius: to break out of the pack and fashion your own unique spiritual path. It’s also an excellent time to dream up a new political party that intimately reflects every one of your idiosyncratic views, and to identify yourself as a member of a brand new racial or ethnic group that has never before been defined. Whip up your own niches!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Recently my 9-year-old bike has developed an unfortunate glitch. When I ride up hills, and only when I ride up hills, the chain periodically gets lodged in the transmission mechanism. If I act quickly, taking action the instant I hear the incipient grinding noise, there’s something I can do to fix the problem and keep from lurching to a halt: I have to temporarily pedal backwards; doing that frees the chain from its stuck place. So picture this scene: As I ascend, I’m able to push forward for long stretches, but now and then have to pedal in reverse, slipping backward a few feet. From what I can tell, Capricorn, this is similar to the rhythm your life has right now. It’s OK to bitch about it, as I do during my travail, but you should also feel grateful for the way it’s building your strength and character. P.S. I predict you will reach the top by September.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The often-inebriated Calamity Jane character on HBO’s TV show “Deadwood” uttered words that are important for you to take to heart. I’ll paraphrase her observation in order to streamline her drunken syntax: “Every day you have to figure out how to live all over again.” Of course this is always true, Aquarius, but it’s even more intensely apt for you right now. The good news is that you’ll be unusually skilled at deciphering the ever-changing rules of the master game, and you’re also likely to have maximum fun while doing so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground,” said inspirational author Vernon Howard. “You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can’t have both.” I suggest you make that one of your guiding thoughts in the coming week, Pisces. An undreamed-of burst of liberation is now possible for you if you compel yourself to experiment with radical generosity on the wild frontiers of forgiveness.

Callie Mae Good day. I am Callie Mae. I am a sweet and beautiful 9-yearold spayed female, long-haired, Calico cat. I may seem a little shy at first, but once you pet me I’ll relax and gain confidence quite quickly. I am also an independent woman. I love exploring new places and checking things out. I’m comfortable being handled and enjoy being petted and held, and especially love being brushed. I am extremely affectionate and really enjoy looking out windows -- from the comfort of the indoors. I enjoy using my scratching post and playing with toys -- yes even at my age, I’ve got some playfulness in me! I would love to find a family with kids 5 or 10 and up who will be gentle and respectful, and will love me. My ideal home would allow me to be queen feline of the castle with no other cats. 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.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, My siblings and I are worried about our 75-year-old mother. After being widowed 10 years ago, in late May she took up with a man who is more than 30 years her junior. On the Fourth of July, she announced that she was engaged to be married. “Frank” lives with his mother and, as far as we know, has never held a job. Mom is no millionaire, but the house our parents bought in the 1950s has appreciated considerably. Mom is acting like a giggly pre-teen and won’t listen to reason. The wedding is scheduled for Labor Day weekend. Help! Freaking Out in Ferrisburgh Dear Freaking, Which upsets you more, that your mother might have found new love at her age, or that you might lose part of your inheritance? Granted, Frank sounds less than ideal, but he could be just what Mom needs. And at her age, she might not feel like taking it slow. Even if you suspect he’s a gold digger, raising a fuss will probably just fuel her resolve. Stay supportive, keep the lines of communication open, and hope for the best. Love, Lola
