“CAT” FIGHT
As someone who was actively involved in the legislature’s healthcare debate last year, I could only shake my head in dismay as I read Vermont Ski Areas Association President Parker Riehle’s comments in your story about business and health insurance [“‘Cat’ Amounts,” January 17]. When the legislature created Catamount Health, its goal was admirable: to provide affordable insurance to the estimated 61,000 Vermonters who are currently uninsured, most of whom are working, and whose employers either don’t provide health insurance or the insurance that is offered is way too expensive. That’s why I found Parker Riehle’s comments so disingenuous. He knows full well that when a typical seasonal ski area employee making at or around minimum wage is offered a chance at a typical health insurance plan with thousands of dollars in deductibles and monthly co-pays, of course they’re not going to take it. I should know: I used to work seasonally at ski resorts and could barely get by on what I was paid. Taking hundreds of dollars out of my pocket each month for a health insurance deductible was not possible. Mr. Riehle also knows that if one of these uninsured employees, say, bounces off a tree while skiing, someone else is going to pick up the tab of putting that

SHAME ON YOU Many of you in the Champlain Valley know about Jeff Cota, the Milton basketball player who is suffering from a rare form of bone cancer. From all accounts, Jeff is a tremendous kid who is fighting this disease as only a kid can, and has a great attitude on his recovery. His teammates have been supportive in driving to Boston to keep him company during his treatment, and he has the full support of the Milton and basketball community. Last week it was reported that items — including an Xbox — were stolen from Jeff’s home while he was in Boston receiving treatment. The Xbox was a gift to help him stay occupied while homebound and recovering from chemotherapy treatments. To the little twits who broke into the home, shame on you. Jeff has CANCER, and needs everything possible to help keep his spirits up. Stealing something because you either want to hawk it on eBay or are too lazy to get a job to buy one yourself is simply a disgrace. You think you have it bad? Think about the kid who is literally fighting for his life right now. Mommy won’t buy you an Xbox, or you don’t want to get a job? Deal with it. I hope the police catch you, and for your sake, I hope the Milton basketball team doesn’t get their hands on you; there may not be much left after they are done. Get well soon Jeff, we are all pulling for you. Posted January 30 by Chris Fells Fells is the Sports Director for ESPN Radio Vermont.

DEAD RIGHT
When my wife was dying in 2004, I read Lisa Carlson’s Caring for Your Own Dead [“Dead Wrong,” January 31]. I learned that what I needed was a medical examiner’s certificate and a permit from my town clerk allowing me to transport her body to be cremated. My wife died in a beautiful manner and her body was cared for after death by loving friends. A friend and I transported her body to the Mount Pleasant Crematorium in St. Johnsbury in an open container that her son and I made. The entire process was what she desired, and it went seamlessly. Afterwards I heard a friend say, “That’s how I want to die.” I have only praise for the Mount Pleasant Crematorium. I felt completely honored and respected. They made what could have been a difficult time one that I think of with gratitude, and the cost of the cremation was only $200, which was far less than what another crematorium asked. Thank you for an excellent article. Fred Cheyette ORANGE

employee back together, primarily through the cost shift hospitals impose on those with health insurance. So, Vermont ski areas that don’t provide affordable health insurance to seasonal workers are exploiting the system, and the rest of us Vermonters with insurance are picking up the tab. The assessment imposed on business by Catamount Health is a step towards getting businesses in Vermont to pay their fair share towards a problem that affects us all — unaffordable health insurance and the growing number of Vermonters who are uninsured or underinsured. Clearly, in the next stage of health-care reform, the legislature needs to address the ongoing cost crisis that affects employers everywhere in this state who offer health insurance but are increasingly burdened by rising premiums. And by the way, Mr. Riehle, if you are reading this, when you complained that many ski areas “in a year like this are lucky to hang onto their employees when they can . . .,” here’s a tip: Can you imagine a better incentive for prospective employees than offering them comprehensive and affordable health insurance?

died. Recently my daughter (who is an environmental/urban planner) did an internship in Sweden. While there she learned about “promessa,� which is a way of freeze-drying a corpse to become fertilizer that can be used to enhance the soil for gardens, trees and shrubs. I called several local funeral homes to
inquire if they had heard about the new technique but each one acted ignorant of the new cutting-edge “recycling.� Not one was interested or encouraged to pursue any inquiries on my behalf. I would encourage you to check out www.promessa.se/index_en.asp. It is very enlightening, and I

his other reviews, he goes to the review wizard and chooses “take the heart and soul out,â€? and it’s done. What remains are such passionate lines like: “crafty percussionâ€? and “wide-open strumsâ€? — literally taking our breath away. Add the obligatory artsy words like “soporificâ€? when “monotonousâ€? would fit better into his writin’ style; throw in the mandatory put-down of the genre itself and those who listen to it, and you’ve got a new CR masterpiece. Take his empty and boring “reviewâ€? of BHW’s incredible compilation CD In Silver Light: In the whole listless account there wasn’t one line that the producers could use to promote it. Not one. For the review I allegedly wrote about Gary Sisco’s End of the Trail CD last summer, Mr. Music Editor boots up his review wizard, clicks on “take the guts out of it,â€? puts in his cookie-cutter reviewer clichĂŠs, and sends me 50 bucks while still managing to leave 2 inches of blank space. Sure, Resnik gets his once-a-year backlash from inane comments he writes while chomping on a CD he was having for breakfast. And, I know that every five years or so we have the usual debate on “How can you write subjective reviews in such a small state as Vermont,â€? etc. But, as you send this stuff through the Seven Days mill, we ask the question: Why bother?

1364 Marshall Ave. Williston, VT 05495 802.861.3200 DECORATIVE HARDWARE & BATH SHOWROOM • www.closetohomevt.com Hi There, I am Frank, the owner of Close to Home. For years I have been running funky ads with puns and crazy tag lines but I’m feeling the need for change — at least temporarily! So what to do?? Over the next few months I am going to do away with the zany stuff and talk about the great stuff we sell and how it can improve your home and even your quality of life!! Let’s start with the shower — THE THERMOSTATIC SHOWER SYSTEM. Your basic pressure balance shower valve is okay — but the future is in thermostatic. More water, more choices, more precise temperature control, and you can regulate ďƒ&#x;ow from a trickle to full blast. The heart of this system is a thermostatic valve which has a dial to regulate temperature. Water ďƒ&#x;ows through the thermostat at terriďƒžc rates of 8-20 gallons per minute. The water is emitted from the thermostat at your set temperature and it then runs to the volume controls. Volume controls are positive on and off valves that control each shower ďƒžxture from showerhead to body spray to hand shower. Each shower ďƒžxture can be run separately or all at one time. You can run multiple ďƒžxtures off of one thermostatic valve because of the high ďƒ&#x;ow rates. Thus thermostatic systems enable you to create your own unique shower experience. Please make sure to check with your plumber to ascertain your water usage capabilities. See the high tech diagram of a typical thermostatic system — or stop by Close To Home to explore all the latest in thermostatic systems and beyond! Thank you.

he strain is starting to show in terms of damage control. And also in terms of the absence of his two former political whiz kids: Neale Lunderville and Jim Barnett, a.k.a. the Nasty Boys! Lunderville is still in the vicinity as Secretary of Transportation. But Mad Dog Barnett has left the state to go to work for the McCain for President campaign. Last week was a rough one for Vermont’s Republican Governor Jim Douglas without them closer, eh? The poor guy’s got headaches from an embarassing security breach in a state computer network, crumbling state road culverts and continued delays in evacuating workers from the contaminated state office building in Bennington that’s experiencing an off-the-charts outbreak of sarcoidosis. Plus, the new state chairman of the Vermont Republican Party has got the Democrats and other political opponents positively delighted! Nick Skala is a research associate at Physicians for a National Health Program in Chicago. It’s an organization that represents 14,000 physicians who support a single-payer system (www.pnhp.org). Skala told “Inside Track” Tuesday that about a year ago, Rob Roper called him “posing as a reporter” and seeking information on Vermont physician Deb Richter. Richter champions a singlepayer health-care system here in the Green Mountains. At the time, Roper was the head of the Vermont chapter of FreedomWorks, an organization Skala described as “a rightwing nut group.” FreedomWorks even put out a press release last year attacking Gov. Jim Douglas for “waffling” on his no-tax pledge. Today, Mr. Roper is the newly elected chairman of the Vermont GOP, the candidate who, sources say, did not have the support of Jim Douglas. C’est la vie. Asked to respond to last week’s Vermont Democratic Party press release going after him, Chairman Roper replied with this email: “Only to say that the mission of FreedomWorks is lower taxes, smaller government, greater economic opportunity and freedom — principles that benefit all mainstream Vermonters, regardless of party.” Sure. Whatever you say. Closer to home, Gov. Douglas showed unusual, below-the-belt testiness at his weekly presser the other day as he tried to blame the Bennington building problem on his predecessor, Howard Dean, MD. “The first diagnosis,” of a case of sarcoidosis, he said, “was in 1994, and this is the first administration that has dealt with this situation.” We weren’t going to let that one slide. “Did I hear you say, Governor,” we asked, “that the Dean administration did not deal with this at all?” “The first diagnosis of sarcoidosis was 1994,” Douglas repeated with emphasis, “and the first time that we are dealing with it in terms of moving people out of the building is now.”

Hey, the cardinal rule for these engagements is: “There are no embarasssing questions, only embarassing answers.” As Ross Sneyd of the Associated Press later reported, “His staff later corrected him. The first case of sarcoidosis was diagnosed in 1992,” said spokesman Jason Gibbs. Subsequent diagnoses were in 1998, 2000, 2005 and two in 2006. The outbreak was not identified as a cluster worthy of further investigation until last summer, Douglas said. In the office meeting, Douglas backed off on blaming the Dean administration. “I’m not blaming my predecessor for any inaction,” he said. “I simply wanted to point out to all of you that I took action.” Interesting. Suddenly, for the very first time, Jim Douglas looks vulnerable in 2008. Attempts to reach Gibbs for comment this week were unsuccessful. He did issue a press release on Monday titled “Vermont Governor Vetoes Punxsutawney Phil’s Forecast — Says Vermont Woodchucks Confirm 12 More Weeks of Winter Wonder — Vermonters Celebrate ‘Woodchuck Day.’” Busy guy, eh? New Director Settles In — “Quite an experience,” said the new executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party. Last weekend was Jill Krowinski’s first DNC Winter Meeting as state director. “I spent a lot of time outside the meeting room catching up with people,” she told us Tuesday. Four years ago, this was the DNC meeting where a virtually unknown governor from Vermont named Howard Dean unleashed his now infamous “I want to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party” speech. In the end, guess what? He did up end representing the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party — not as its presidential standard-bearer, but rather as its national party chairman and successful architect of a winning 50-state strategy for the Democrats, one that took back both houses of Congress for the first time in 12 years! Krowinski was particularly touched by one man from the Midwest who lit up when he learned she was from Vermont. “‘You know,’ he said, ‘Gov. Dean stayed with me when he was campaigning for president, and at the time my son was terminally ill. Gov. Dean made it a point to stay with us so he could check in on our son. He went with us to the hospital. He was with us every part of the way.’ And he was so touched by that. All he could talk about was Gov. Dean and what he did for their family. He was so excited to tell me this story.” Also a treat, said Jill, was hearing all the Democratic presidential candidates so far. Who stood out? “There were four,” replied
Krowinski. “Barak Obama, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton and Bill Richardson were the four, for me, that definitely stood out.” Obama, she told us, “just has this passion, and he has this way of speaking that everybody just sits there staring at him with a mesmerized look. It was interesting to watch folks watch him and listen to him.” Edwards, she said, was “great on the issues.” He talked “about the middle class and poverty and what he’s been doing since he ran for president, and he’s really been putting his money where his mouth is — opening a poverty center.” Sen. Hillary Clinton? “She’s straightforward, a straight shooter,” said the Vermont director. “She was the only one to say, ‘My name is Hilary Clinton and I’m running for president.’ She just put it all out there.” Bill Richardson made an impression, too. The New Mexico governor “has this great resumé and he was really funny.” Krowinski said she was least familiar with Richardson, but curious. His style, she said, was “intriguing to me.” She “looks forward to getting to know him a bit more.” Any favorite at the moment? “I’m sticking with the four,” said Jill. As for Ho-Ho’s current status as chairman of the DNC, Krowinski told us, “Everybody was really excited about Gov. Dean and his work with the ‘50-State Strategy,’ and the confidence in him as chair really showed through.” Yes, indeed, he’s come a long way, baby! Flashback to 10 Years Ago — 1997. Gov. Howard Dean held his nose as he signed Act 60. The gilded low-tax age of Stowe and Manchester and other exclusive Vermont gold towns was over. The statewide property tax was a reality. Speaking of Act 60, did you catch Paul Cillo’s op-ed in the February 1 Barre-Montpelier Times Argus? Sure you did. Cillo, then a state rep, was, along with then Rep. John Freiden, a co-author in 1997 of the landmark public education funding bill known as Act 60. The Vermont Supreme Court said “equal educational opportunity,” and that meant a level playing field. Cillo notes that, based on recent figures, “School taxes as a percentage of income are dropping.” And “60 percent of taxpayers in owner-occupied homes are paying school taxes based on their incomes, not on the value of their homes.” And he concludes with a statement that leaves no wiggle room. “Our system needs refinement. But the bottom line is, Vermont’s Act 68 (Act 60’s successor) is still the best schoolfinancing law in the nation.”
SEVEN DAYS | february 07-14, 2007 | track 13A
Don’t forget Valentine’s Day‌ No if, ands or buts. The Times Argus editorial echoes Cillo’s op-ed. Titled “What Crisis?â€? it highlights the fact that in 1996 school taxes took 5.4 percent of Vermonters’ income. Ten years later, in 2006, school taxes have fallen to 4.9 percent of income. Gov. Douglas said he was “not aware of that.â€? Jeezum crow. You’d think the state’s chief executive would be, wouldn’t you? As the Times Argus edit concluded, “The sense of crisis that has surrounded this question, emanating chiefly from the property-rich towns where the new system has never been popular, is exaggerated. The legislature need not be rushed into an ill-advised reform of a system that is mostly working.â€? Interesting. Lunderville Shines — Inner-city passenger rail really does have a future in Vermont, says the state’s Transportation Secretary Neale Lunderville. Lunderville, who twice was Jim Douglas’ esteemed campaign manager (2002 and 2004), was the featured guest on Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Meâ€? on Sunday morning. “A good day,â€? the Boy Wonder told Marselis Parsons and Kristin Carlson, “would be when we can take a train from Burlington to Middlebury, Rutland, Manchester, Bennington, and then down to New York City. But it is going to take time and investment.â€? At the moment the emphasis is on culverts and bridges — putting the few dollars we have today to extend the life of those assets. “A dollar we put in today will save $10 in the future,â€? said Neale. “It really is a good rule of thumb to live by, and one we hope everybody will agree with.â€?

BURLINGTON — Jean Forden said she couldn’t deal anymore with living in Florida, where many younger drivers would give her “the finger” simply because she had white hair and drove more slowly than they did. Forden, 75, is a feisty ex-New Yorker who spent more than two decades managing Planned Parenthood offices in Canada before finally settling in Burlington. “I was on the cusp of feminism,” Forden said, “and now I’m on the cusp of a generation that’s not going to stand for the kind of crap that happened to earlier generations.” By “crap,” Forden was referring to the practice of pigeonholing everyone over the age of 65 as being elderly, infirm and, ultimately, a burden on society. Betty Stambolian, also a seventysomething Burlingtonian, jokingly refers to herself as “an old fossil.” But she has a similar gripe. “Young people assume that once you’ve crossed over the hill, you’re a moron,” she said. Forden and Stambolian were echoing the sentiments of dozens of their fellow Burlington seniors who participated in an AARP-sponsored survey on the benefits and challenges of growing old in the Queen City. At a press conference last week at Fletcher Free Library, their message was loud and clear: Those who want to plan for the graying of Burlington must not assume that people over the age of 65 are defined solely by their age. The AARP-Vermont study used phone surveys of 800 Burlington residents aged 45 and older, as well as seven focus groups, to look at such critical issues as housing, mobility and community engagement. According to Jennifer Wallace-Brodeur, who directed the survey on behalf of AARP-Vermont, this was the most comprehensive study AARP has ever undertaken in the United States to help a city and its various support agencies plan for the upward shift in its demographics. According to U.S. Census data, Burlington’s senior population is expected to double between 2000 and 2010. In 2003, 13 percent of Vermonters were 65 or older. By 2015, that number will rise to 15 percent. And by 2025, one in every five Vermonters will be over the age of 65. The findings of the AARPVermont survey, which were released at the press conference, were fairly predictable. The majority of Burlington residents 45 years and older are homeowners living in single-family homes. By and large, driving is their primary means of getting around,
and most say they plan to live in their current home for as long as possible. Not surprisingly, the survey participants’ biggest concerns revolve around their ability to remain independent, physically and politically active, and connected to their community. Most said that promoting educational opportunities for seniors is a high priority. “This was really high,” Wallace-Brodeur noted. “People want to continue with lifelong learning, and it’s impor-
with less education and/or in the lower-income brackets tended to be less involved than their wealthier and better-educated contemporaries. Heidi Klein is a research consultant with the Snelling Center for Government who helped AARP gather and compile the data. Klein said one prevailing remark she heard from seniors was that they want to be defined not by the services they need to access but by the contributions they can make later in life.
By 2025, one in every five Vermonters will be over the age of 65.
tant that these [opportunities] are continually made available in the community.” On the transportation front, Burlington residents who were surveyed said that the city ranks high for walkability and pedestrian access. However, they’d like to see increases in the number of benches, sheltered bus stops and islands, the delay times at crosswalks, and the policing of drivers who don’t stop at stop signs. When asked about housing, most of those surveyed said they want to remain independent, with financial constraints listed as their biggest obstacle to staying in the city. Most also said they’d like to see a wider range of affordable housing options. Stambolian, for example, spoke about the need for “affinity housing,” which caters to retirees with shared interests, such as artists, athletes or activists. In terms of community engagement, respondents described themselves as active members of their community, though their involvement tends to drop off after the age of 75, mostly due to health, mobility and transportation issues. Those
After the press conference, several of the focus-group participants in attendance — all divorced or widowed women — spoke about the need to modify the language that is commonly used to discuss elder issues. All mentioned their objection to such words as “aged” and “elderly,” because they conjure up images of helpless people who are no longer able to contribute to society. Such words, they said, have a negative impact as much on how elders see themselves as on how others see them. Among the speakers was Carol L. Winfield, an 88-year-old yoga instructor who lives in Burlington. “I think, in a certain sense, the whole attitude toward aging in this country is so demoralizing to people,” she said. “Our generation is kind of tossed off.” But Winfield expects that attitude to change soon, if only because listening to seniors will serve younger people’s self-interest. “Because there are so many of us [seniors], we’re becoming a crucial factor in finance,” she said. “The people who want to make money have to pay attention to us now.” �

THE DAILY TRAIN FROM BELLOWS FALLS TO RUTLAND, VT, PHOTOGRAPHED IN BROCKWAY MILLS
ESSEX JUNCTION — If Vermonters are serious about creating a clean and sustainable mode of transportation for the Green Mountain State — namely, passenger rail service — then the state must invest in its ailing and outdated railroad infrastructure. And if passenger rail is ever to become a viable part of Vermont’s transportation future, it needs to be paid for with the state’s freight rail service. That was the message last week from Michael Coates, a member of the Vermont Rail Advisory Council, and Charlie Moore, retired general manager of the New England Central Railroad. Coates and Moore spoke last week to some 50 railroad enthusiasts at the Brownell Library in Essex Junction about the future of passenger and freight rail in Vermont. Both experts agree that what’s good for the economy is also good for the environment, namely, getting freight traffic off the roads and onto the rails. Consider the numbers. According to Coates, each year between 30,000 and 35,000 shipping containers pass through Vermont to points north and west — by truck. That’s because Vermont’s railroad tracks, bridges and tunnels aren’t equipped to handle the greater height and weight of today’s standard freight cars. While the national standard for a Class 1 freight car is 186,000 pounds — and will soon rise to 315,000 pounds — most Vermont tracks and bridges can only handle a maximum of 163,000 pounds. Likewise, the last decade has seen a dramatic rise in “intermodal” freight traffic — that is, shipping containers that travel by road and rail. Because many of Vermont’s bridges and tunnels are too low to accommodate these double-stacked train containers, much of that traffic is either diverted around Vermont or loaded onto trucks and driven across the state, increasing wear and tear on its highways. “The legislature just sat
When we can get all those trucks off the roads and get that freight onto trains, it will make so much sense and have tremendous environmental impacts. MICHAEL COATES, VERMONT RAIL ADVISORY COUNCIL through three weeks of testimony on global warming,” says Coates, who was appointed to the Rail Advisory Council by Governor Jim Douglas. “My God! When we can get all those trucks off the roads and get that freight onto trains, it will make so much sense and have tremendous environmental impacts.” The savings to taxpayers would be felt throughout the economy, Coates notes. Consider home heating oil. Each year, about 6600 train carloads of fuel oil are shipped into Vermont. However, because of Vermont’s weight limitations, those tankers can only be loaded 80 to 85 percent full, which significantly adds to their transportation cost. Environmental and quality-oflife benefits could also be reaped by reducing the number of trucks on Vermont’s roads and highways. Each year, for example, OmyaVermont, which quarries marble that’s ground and milled into calcium carbonate, logs about 70,000 truck trips between Middlebury and Florence. A railroad spur slated for construction near Middlebury will eliminate much, if not all, of that truck traffic and dramatically improve the quality of life in the small towns along Route 7. Coates says he recently compared rail and truck costs in terms of “externality costs” to taxpayers — such as accidents, maintenance costs, enforcement and pollution. For a 72-mile stretch, rail beat out trucks by $567,000 per year. Part of the problem in recent
years, Coates and Moore agree, is that neither the state nor the federal government has made rail freight service a priority. In a speech delivered several weeks ago, Vermont Transportation Secretary Neale Lunderville outlined his maintenance priorities for the coming year. “All that maintenance is on highways and bridges,” Coates points out. “Not one mention was made of rail infrastructure.” Nevertheless, the need is considerable. According to Moore, getting the Vermont-owned railroad lines up to snuff for the 21st century would cost an estimated $112 million. By contrast, the entire state railroad budget for fiscal year 2008 is less than $24 million. At the federal level, only about $12 million is slated for Vermont. As one audience member noted during last week’s presentation, “That’s about 20 minutes of what we spend in Iraq.” Ironically, the rail experts agree that Vermont is ideally situated to capitalize on so-called “bridge traffic” — that is, freight trains such as coal cars and automobile carriers that travel across the state and pay user fees to ride on Vermont rails. Currently, Vermont’s rail system is directly connected to three major railroads — Norfolk Southern, CS Corporation and the Canadian National Railroad. A final version of Vermont’s Rail and Policy Plan, which outlines the future priorities of rail service in Vermont, is due to appear by the end of March. �

ENVIRONMENT
Vermont’s “Step It Up 2007” Leads National Climate-Change Action BY PAMELA POLSTON
BURLINGTON — Will Bates, a recent graduate of Middlebury College, will be 66 when Step It Up 2007 achieves its overarching goal — that is, if it does. Bates is one of the organizers of the newly created movement, founded by environmental author Bill McKibben, that implores in its tag line: “Step It Up Congress! Cut Carbon 80% by 2050.” The imperative refers, of course, to the primary culprit behind glob-
people who have wanted to do that,” he says. “We think there have been all the pieces here for a movement, but not the actual movement.” Bates says McKibben — his senior thesis advisor — came up with the idea for Step It Up 2007, “but we joined in to make it happen.” He also notes that the nascent environmental movement is not simply a consortium of enthusiastic twentysomethings, but
We think there have been all the pieces here for a movement, but not the actual movement. BILL MCKIBBEN al warming, a looming catastrophe the 23-year-old Bates calls “the challenge of our generation.” This week, Bates was one of a half-dozen former “Midd Kids” who set up headquarters in the green office building at 12 North Street in Burlington, from which they will coordinate a “national day of climate action” scheduled for April 14. Bates explains that Step It Up 2007 is “not really an organization.” Rather, he says, it’s “just a group of people who care about the issue.” Less than a month after Middlebury scholarin-residence McKibben and his protégés hatched the idea, that group has witnessed phenomenal growth. More than 550 global warming awareness events are already being planned in 47 states; a graphic of the U.S. on the website — www.stepitup2007.org — keeps count as an assortment of actions large and small pop up across the country. The viral potential of the Internet has given new meaning to “spreading the word,” as the Howard Dean for President campaign demonstrated. “It’s been astonishing to us as well,” Bates admits. “The biggest draw so far is Bill’s weekly stories on the Grist [www.grist.org, an environmental webzine], which reaches lots of active and sympathetic readers.” For his part, McKibben — who just returned from a 10-day research trip to Antarctica, a place he calls both “sublime” and “disturbing” — credits the energy and enthusiasm of the Middlebury student activists. Step It Up’s crew was involved in the college’s “Sunday Night Group,” a student-run, issueoriented salon. And McKibben gives props to Bates for organizing the March Across Vermont last Labor Day weekend. “I’m not really good at this kind of work,” McKibben demurs. “Left to my own devices, I’m best left alone sitting in a room and writing.” That’s a modest assessment from the man who raised the alarm about the environment with his 1989 book The End of Nature. Since he arrived on the Middlebury campus several years ago, McKibben’s teaching, writing and frequent public speaking around Vermont and beyond have helped give global warming code-red status. The success of last fall’s march in Vermont inspired the Middlebury group to “go national.” While persuading Congress to take dramatic action seems like a monumental task, McKibben suggests the group’s goal is more limited: “to provide a venue for people around the country to have a voice for the need for rapid change. We think there are all kinds of

and the PIRGs. “There are also a lot of small, statewide organizations,” Bates adds. “We’re still reaching out to businesses, to extreme sports . . .” Vermont’s delegates in D.C. are helping to lead the legislative way. “Bernie [Sanders] just reintroduced Jim Jeffords’ climate bill — definitely the most bold action in Congress,” Bates says. And this week, Rep. Peter Welch vowed to make his offices in Washington and Vermont “carbon-neutral.” That is, he plans to offset the greenhouse-gas emissions related to his newly elected position — including those generated by travel between Burlington and D.C. — so they won’t contribute to global warming. Welch is also a cosponsor of Rep. Henry Waxman’s Safe Climate Act, which calls for an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, to be achieved in part by greatly improving mileage standards for automobiles. Eighty percent, and 2050, seem a long way off. Is the goal achievable? “Absolutely!” Bates declares. “We certainly expect that to come along with shorterterm, immediate goals. It’s going to be a challenge,” he concedes, “but, as is often discussed, there is great opportunity that comes along with the challenge — all sorts of technological innovations, and rethinking, redesigning our communities.” Vermont, Bates adds, “is one of the great places to be right now to see the transition to a new society.” � 2x5-3Toms012407.indd 1

A dramatic casting change is under way at the Vermont Film Commission in Montpelier. After four years in the top job, Danis Regal was fired last week as part of a major organizational overhaul. Her deputy, Tyler Debbs, is also exiting. On Monday, the office on Baldwin Street was empty, and its voicemail had been redirected to Greg Gerdel at the Vermont Agency of Travel and Tourism. On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the commission announced Regal’s replacement: former executive director Loranne Turgeon is coming back to run the show. The new interim director starts next Monday. “We are cleaning house at the film commission,� says Bill Stetson, a member of the citizen board that oversees the organization — an “instrumentality of the state� funded by the legislature through Travel and Tourism. Stetson explains that, at a recent board retreat he attended, “We voted to reorganize things . . . It’s not that anyone’s been criminal; we’re just changing things around.� Stetson would not give any specific reasons for Regal’s dismissal. The way it went down “would have been more sensitive if it could have. But it couldn’t,� he says. “This isn’t a police action. It’s swift, because that’s how you make change. It’s not

ugly, or harmful, but there are some complicated aspects to it.� Regal declined to comment on the situation, saying, “I’m not sure I’m allowed to.� Stetson focuses on the future when discussing the shake-up: “We have to rethink everything . . .
We are cleaning house at the film commission... It’s not that anyone’s been criminal; we’re just changing things around. BILL STETSON to be a more competitive and slightly leaner film commission.â€? Regal has been earning a little more than $50,000 a year. Two other part-time salaries are drawn from the commission’s annual $180,000 appropriation. Stetson helped found the Vermont Film Commission in 1996 to “encourage the development of the Vermont film and television industry.â€? Assisting local filmmakers was a part of the mission, but the real motivation was to woo big-budget Hollywood movies to the Green Mountains. Turgeon, who has since moved to Maine, was the commission’s first executive director. She got credit for back-to-back pictures shot here in 1999 — Me, Myself and Irene and What Lies Beneath — and the economic benefits that resulted. The state hasn’t landed a comparable Hollywood project since. If Stetson holds Regal responsible for the reduced film flow, he isn’t saying so. “A lot of things have changed: the economy, the unions — it’s a different world,â€? he says. “We just want to do as much as we can to let people know that Vermont is open for business.â€? Stetson is the first to admit that competition for film work is fierce in the U.S. and around the world. The Vermont Legislature recently passed a bill that gives financial incentives to out-of-state movie producers — provided their budgets exceed $1 million. But the deal doesn’t compare with those being offered by film commissions in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts. Stetson explains that moviemakers “look at the bottom line and say literally, ‘There’s $300,000 between what you can give me and what Connecticut can give me.’ I say, ‘But there’s so much more we can do. Just come here. You’ll save more.’ They actually give you grants in places like New Mexico and New Zealand.â€? The incentives are so attractive elsewhere that even local filmmakers have been tempted to shoot out of state. Jay Craven and Bess O’Brien told Stetson they could “save a lot of moneyâ€? by crossing the lake to work in New York. “That hit home,â€? Stetson says. Can Vermont compete? “We need to do better,â€? Stetson opines, noting that all of the board members agreed the film commission was at an impasse. “We need to do a better job for our governor, for Bruce Hyde in Tourism and Marketing, and for our taxpayer dollars. He’s banking on Turgeon to make that happen. “We want to be the vital film commission we were when Loranne was there. She was just incredible,â€? says Stetson. “The Farrelly brothers just loved her. I remember her driving a van with Danny Devito and his boys around.â€? Until she starts work on Monday, her empty office is in good hands. Gerdel of Travel and Tourism was the point man for location scouts long before Vermont even had a film commission. ďż˝

POETRY
Arts Council Seeks Nominations for State Poet BY PAMELA POLSTON
Move over, Grace Paley; it’s time for a new state poet in Vermont. Unlike the U.S. president, state poets cannot seek a second fouryear term. That’s why the Vermont Arts Council has recently called for nominations to replace the esteemed Thetford resident. The deadline for nominations is February 27; a panel of judges will winnow those suggestions and make a recommendation to Gov. Jim Douglas, who will announce the winner in June. And just what does a state poet do? According to VAC’s website, he or she “serves as Vermont’s ambassador for the art of poetry and is called upon to participate in official ceremonies and readings within Vermont and nationally.� It’s an unpaid position, save for an honorarium of $1000. Essentially, the state poet is in attendance at “auspicious occasions,� says VAC spokesperson Jonas Eno-Van Fleet. Not just any Rhymin’ Simon will do for the post originally held by the revered Robert Frost. Though several states claimed him as a resident, he was named poet laureate of Vermont in 1961.

Not just any Rhymin’ Simon will do for the post originally held by the revered Robert Frost. until 1988, when then-Governor Madeleine Kunin revived the public nomination process and declared the post limited to four years — and to living poets.

The panel that will review nominations includes representatives from VAC’s board, the Vermont Poetry Society and the Vermont Humanities Council, along with the current state poet and other writers. VAC Program Director Michele Bailey notes that all three times she oversaw the process, the governor approved the panel’s recommendation.

Playwright and actor Anne Galjour is known for her plays about the Cajun culture and characters she knew growing up in southeastern Louisiana. Now the California-based artist — who performs her one-woman show, Hurricane, this Friday at the Flynn Center — is turning her archivist’s eye on New England. Galjour is working on a new play, tentatively titled “New England Class Divide,� which was commissioned by Dartmouth College in partnership with regional arts organizations, including the Flynn. She described her hopes for the project last fall in Seven Days, explaining, “This play is part of a three-year initiative that explores issues of class, locals versus newcomers. My hope is that hardworking, underserved members of your community will see themselves on stage.� Galjour has been in New England for the past couple of weeks, gathering material. She’s scheduled interviews with dairy farming families and recent immigrants from Africa, and she’s inviting residents to bring anecdotes and ideas to a series of “story circles.� She held one last Saturday in the Flynn’s Hoehl Studio; another is scheduled for Thursday, February 8, from 7 to 9 p.m. Fourteen Vermont residents — including two reporters and two Flynn staffers — showed up Saturday afternoon to school the playwright and her assistant, Dartmouth student Lisel Murdock, about life in Vermont. Everyone there was Caucasian, and all but two were women, but during the two-hour share-athon, a

variety of differences emerged. Galjour’s first questions were basic: How many grew up in Vermont? How many moved here? How many graduated from high school? How many had Master’s degrees? But she soon switched to more open-ended inquiries about education and social divides. Did participants feel there were class differences in Vermont, she wondered? Shirley Bean, 82, of Charlotte said there certainly used to be. She recalled a time when her small town was separated into two distinct sections — one occupied by third- and fourth-generation native Vermont farmers and the other by French-Canadian newcomers. Bean says she was lumped in with the latter group because she married a Catholic man. “You had to strive to get from there to become someone who could do something for the town,� she said. Later, Galjour passed out index cards and invited everyone to write down a “hidden truth� about themselves, or share a time when they felt “some kind of tension.�
She urged, “Let’s be honest.â€? Murdock collected the cards, then redistributed them randomly. Galjour invited participants to read them out loud. The results were surprisingly intimate. One person confessed to being prejudiced against minorities. Another admitted to suffering from depression. A third complained that she had trouble finding a job, despite advanced degrees, and could not afford to buy a house. After each, Galjour nodded her head and sighed empathetically. Murdock scribbled intently in her notebook. Finally, Galjour asked the group to suggest characters that might represent the area. Responses ranged from a chainsmoking homeless man to Winooski resident Raymond Clavelle — father of former Burlington mayor Peter Clavelle — to renowned hot dog vendor Lois Bodoky. Galjour seemed grateful for the advice. “This circle is terrific,â€? she said. “I feel like this community is very special.â€? ďż˝

Canada asserts that it has sole jurisdiction and wants to enforce its own laws to minimize unsafe ships and accidental spills in the pristine North.

BE PREPARED WHEN APPLYING FOR A LOAN With lending agencies scrutinizing your financial affairs, shopping for a mortgage loan can be an anxiety producing experience. Faced with the biggest debt you will assume in a lifetime, it is wise to do your homework when preparing to apply for a loan. Before you submit an application that will spotlight your credit history, make certain you can do so with confidence. Surprisingly, many people simply hope their credit scores are adequate without taking the time to make certain. Credit reports may contain inaccuracies that can affect your credit worthiness, so request a copy of your report and review it with your mortgage officer. Don’t be tempted to borrow more than you can comfortably afford, even if the bank is willing to loan it to you. First time buyers particularly might be inclined to assume more debt than they can manage. A good rule of thumb is to limit your total debt, including housing costs, to 40% of your income.

all worthwhile human knowledge
Touchy question. On the one hand, sure, you want to able to do something about a judge who shows up for work in a gorilla suit or gives the chair to excise-tax protesters. On the other hand, only frothing partisans (of whom admittedly this country has no shortage) want judges getting the heave for not toeing the party line. Lifetime appointments aren’t just for Supreme Court justices but for all federal judges. Under Article III of the Constitution, they “hold their offices during good behavior.â€? For the most part that means till death, resignation, or retirement, but judges who misbehave badly enough can be removed from office by impeachment, same as for the president and “all civil officers of the United States.â€? To judge from the impeachment record, such misbehavior is pretty rare. To date only 17 federal officeholders have had impeachment proceedings started against them in the House of Representatives; of the 15 tried by the Senate (the other two bailed first), only seven were convicted and removed from office. Thirteen of the seventeen impeachments (and all seven convictions) were of federal judges. Only one Supreme Court justice has been impeached: Samuel Chase, in 1804. Historians agree the charges against Chase were politically motivated; in any case, the Senate acquitted him. The fact that impeachment is a time-consuming and expensive process deters abuse, and lifetime appointment is likewise meant to prevent political meddling. The downside is that some judges remain on the job long after they’ve begun to lose it mentally. Attempts to legislate a mandatory judicial retirement age have gone nowhere. Historically the most effective way to remove an incapacitated Supreme Court judge has been for the other justices to try to get him to quit. According to Cambridge historian David Garrow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, arguably the most distinguished justice the court has had, was convinced by the other judges to retire at age 90 after he became unable to follow cases. Out-of-it judges, particularly at the highest level, aren’t unusual. “The judiciary is the nation’s premier geriatric occupation,â€? Judge Richard Posner observed in 1995. Garrow, in a 2000 article bluntly entitled “Mental Decrepitude on the U.S. Supreme Court,â€? finds 18 cases of mental deterioration, stroke, or other forms of mental impairment — just under 20 percent of all Supreme Court justices. Examples: • Chief Justice (and former president) William Howard Taft, who served on the court from 1921 to 1930, “really lost his gripâ€? at the end, according to Louis Brandeis.

Dear Cecil, Many judges, including U.S. Supreme Court justices, are given lifetime appointments. This presents obvious issues since judges can do a lot of damage if they go off the deep end. How do we get rid of whacked-out judges? Looking at it from the other side, what happens if a Supreme Court judge is greatly disliked by, say, the president and Congress — can they do something to give him/her the boot?

• Frank Murphy (1940-1949) was hooked on sleeping pills, hospitalized several times, and thought to be regularly securing illegal drugs. • William O. Douglas (1939-1975), had a stroke toward the end of his career, could no longer follow arguments, and spoke in non sequiturs; the other justices reputedly set up an informal arrangement to nullify or ignore his vote. Even after his eventual resignation, he continued showing up at the court building, evidently believing he was still on the payroll. • Thurgood Marshall (1967-1991) became disengaged in the 1980s, spending afternoons watching TV and letting his clerks do his work. A 1990 TV interview left some wondering if he’d lost it, and he retired the next year. • Chief Justice William Rehnquist (1972-2005) for years took strong medication for back pain that caused him to slur his speech. Hospitalized in 1981, he had hallucinations and other withdrawal symptoms and tried to escape in his PJs. In 2004 he announced he had thyroid cancer but continued to serve as chief justice even though he was clearly not strong enough physically or mentally. The other justices knew he couldn’t read the materials but continued to pretend he was participating. Why do justices hang on so long? Partly because they can, and partly because, let’s face it, nobody wants to give up one of the world’s coolest jobs. Also one of the cushiest — the caseload’s lightened considerably over the last few decades, Garrow says, and being surrounded by fawning sycophants must make it easy to think you can still hack it. Some justices — like Marshall, reportedly — also try to wait until their own political party holds the Presidency. The brethren’s success in covering up for their doddering peers no doubt largely explains Congress’ failure to address the situation, but come on. If Roman Catholic cardinals can’t vote for pope after 80, there’s no reason to risk having near-senile judges deciding a presidential election. CECIL ADAMS

and Justice Review” scheduled to air late this month on Channel 15 will be his last. “We’re hoping someone will carry it on, maybe less frequently,” Everts says. “I’ve done it singlehandedly for the past 10 years and I can’t do it anymore.” He’s hardly housebound, however. Everts and his wife of 40 years, Raven Davis, are planning bird-watching trips in the spring to Puerto Rico and Africa. “Color-confused and nearsighted” himself, Everts says he regularly travels to the tropics not to see indigenous species but because Davis, a birding enthusiast, asks him to accompany her. Wanderlust still compels him as well, though. Before moving to Vermont in 1973, Everts notes, “I never lived in one place for more than a couple of years.” At age 44, after divorcing his second wife, for example, he embarked on a round-the-world hitchhiking jaunt. “I thought it’d take a few months,” he says, “but I was gone more than three years.” That journey advanced a political evolution that has taken Everts far from his Republican roots. During a stopoff in Egypt, he recalls, “I was impressed by how that culture required people with money to support those who don’t have much.” And through-

ED EVERTS RECALLS A LIFE OF ACTIVISM BY KEVIN J. KELLEY
F
our score and seven years ago, Ed Everts was brought forth on this continent, conceived in Berkeley, California. In the years since, he’s become increasingly dedicated to the proposition that war seldom solves anything and must be resisted. Throughout the long run of his alleged “retirement” years in Vermont, the Charlotte resident has worked relentlessly for social justice as well as for world peace. Everts’ contributions to those causes include producing 660 weekly shows on Burlington-area publicaccess television featuring talks by local and national activists (see accompanying story).
“Other people would get tired, but Ed never has,” says Wendy Coe, office manager of the Peace and Justice Center on Church Street, where Everts sat for an interview last week. “Ed’s an inspiration,” Coe suggests. “If he can keep going at 87, I figure I can keep going at 54.” But while his mind shows no sign of diminishing, Everts’ physical capabilities have slowly succumbed to the passage of time. He totters stoop-shouldered now. And after recently falling asleep at the wheel and swerving into a ditch along Route 7, Everts depends on others for transportation. “I’ve begun unplugging all connections to life,” he says with a slow shake of his whitehaired head. The installment of “The Peace
out his travels in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Everts adds, “I learned that the poorer the country, the nicer the people.” He practices charity in his own right, though he doesn’t advertise it. Coe, not Everts, points out that he donates his U.S. Air Force pension to the Peace and Justice Center. That money was hard earned, too. Drafted in 1940 after graduating with a chemistry degree from Berkeley, Everts rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. His fiveyear military career began with an assignment to a chemical-warfare unit, but “I realized pretty quickly that wasn’t something I wanted to do,” Everts says. He was transferred to a meteorology training course at UCLA, which prepared him for the scores of weather-forecasting flights he would make in the South Pacific and over Tokyo. Japanese anti-aircraft batteries frequently fired at the planes that were checking weather conditions prior to bombing runs. “They were ineffectual, though,” Everts notes nonchalantly. “Their guns couldn’t reach our altitude.” He nonetheless wound up in the water one night in February, 1945. Everts and 11 other U.S. servicemen fell from the sky after a propeller sheared off and tore into their plane’s fuselage. Four of the fliers were killed. The survivors floated in a life raft for three days as sharks circled and occasionally bumped them from below. His World War II experiences pushed Everts, by then a Democrat, further to the left. “I came to see that war is no solution, that negotiation makes much more sense,” he explains. While condemning state-sponsored violence, Everts isn’t sure he’s personally a pacifist. “If put to the test, I don’t know which way I’d go,” he confides. After the war, Everts worked for a while at an aviation company in Los Angeles. “It was like ‘Dilbert,’” he recalls, referring to the newspaper comic strip that finds the funny side of workplace alienation. “I didn’t want that kind of job.” Instead, he took a nighttime job at a meatpacking plant. Like many living within sight

of the Hollywood hills, though, Everts wanted most to make movies. He helped start a production company, but when its bankrollers died, the film business failed. Everts kept his blue-collar job in downtown L.A., and eventually was elected president of the plant’s union local; he led his coworkers on a 102-day strike that comprised an important chapter in Everts’ political education. “A lot of the guys at that plant were blacks or Chicanos,” he says. “It was obvious that if you wanted something decent, you had to work together to get it.” After experiencing the Third World and California, Everts had a well-developed awareness of racial injustice. His commitment to equality impresses Larry
McCrorey, an African-American professor emeritus at the UVM College of Medicine who has often appeared on Everts’ TV show. “Ed has always been on the right side of history,” McCrorey says. “It took courage for him to film all those sessions with me and John Tucker” (the former director of the racial justice and equity project at the Peace and Justice Center). “Those were controversial areas, because Vermont is in denial as far as racism is concerned. But Ed never flinched.” In addition to what he learned in war, on the job and through his world travels, Everts acquired an academic understanding of social issues while studying at Boston College Law
School in the late 1960s. He had moved to Cambridge because Davis, whom he met in Tokyo in 1965, had received a grant to study at Harvard. Everts earned a law degree but never became a lawyer, partly because he inherited a substantial sum in 1970 following the death of his grandfather, who owned a lumber mill in Berkeley. In a profile of an octogenarian activist, readers might expect some upbeat prognostications, but Everts isn’t going to supply them. To him, the future looks “terrible.” The global population of 6 billion, heading for 10 billion, is “at least three times what the Earth can support,” he declares. “We just keep spreading out like a Banyan tree on top of a mountain.”
He also doubts that the United States will become a more peaceful country. “Our leaders are very vindictive, very militaristic,” he observes. “I don’t think that’s going to change.” Even so, Everts adds, “I’ve always felt obligated to do the best I can.” Pressed to offer at least a hint of hope, he comes back to the television show that’s been his focus since 1992. “If it convinced just a few people to try to change the way things are,” Everts muses, “I guess you could say it’s been a worthwhile experience.” m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

CHRONICLING 15 YEARS OF THE LEFT IN VERMONT BY MARGOT HARRISON
I
t’s July 2003, and four members of Green Mountain Veterans for Peace are doing a live call-in show in the Burlington studio of Vermont Community Access Media, the local public-access TV station. It’s an episode of the “Peace & Justice Review,” produced by local activist Ed Everts for the nonprofit Peace & Justice Center in downtown Burlington. Since Everts himself is a vet — of World War II — he’s part of the four-person panel of talking heads on-screen. His presence is low-key compared with that of (now late) University of Vermont philosophy professor Will Miller, who chairs the discussion. But when Everts speaks, he stands out. After showing an excerpt from Metal of Dishonor, a film about the dangers of depleted uranium, Everts says he’s personally witnessed the disastrous effects of Agent Orange in Saigon and of depleted uranium in Basra. “This country doesn’t seem to have much compassion or care much about what we do to other countries,” he says, a hint of country twang in his voice. “There has to be a time coming when we draw the line and say, ‘No more.’” The vets solicit callers. Only one viewer responds, but he seems to have been thinking hard about the panelists’ message. “I agree with some of what you’re saying,” he says hesitantly. “But didn’t Saddam also experiment on his own people with nuclear devices? To put all the blame on the [Bush] administration doesn’t seem quite fair.” “You’re taking a lot of what the government says as true,” Everts objects. Then he takes a different tack: “We have to criticize or try to manage or educate or do whatever we can do to our own government. We’re not in the position to do that in Iraq.” Demonizing Saddam, he claims, allows us to think our actions in Iraq “aren’t all bad. But it is all bad.” A glitzy CNN call-in show this isn’t. It’s 180 degrees removed from the politics of Fox News, or the aggro energy of “Hardball” or “Crossfire.” But its run rivals theirs. For the past 14 years, the weekly “Peace & Justice Review” has brought radical Left voices to Burlington’s airwaves. That’s primarily the work of Everts, who retires from producing the show this month. The “Review” didn’t start as a solo project. When it premiered in 1992, a 12-person committee produced it, Everts recalls. Eight or 10 activists were interested in continuing with the project, so they set aside an hour each week. But “gradually people fell by the wayside — getting pregnant, divorced, graduated, whatever,” Everts says. The fresh volunteers he recruited “never showed up.” The staff dwindled to two or three, then to just Everts, who has helmed the show alone for the past 10 years. In 2002, he began producing “Veterans for Peace,” a monthly call-in, editing both shows at VCAM using the station’s equipment. “It’s hard to imagine VCAM without Ed; he’s
such a pillar,” says VCAM Executive Director Rob Chapman. The show’s back catalogue stands at a whopping 660 hour-long, commercial-free episodes. Ten or 12 have been lost, Everts says. Videotapes of the others can be found shelved chronologically in the Peace & Justice Center, each painstakingly handlabeled by Everts with a date and often lengthy description. “They were going to get some computer guru” to work with him on cross-indexing the tapes, Everts says, but it never happened. In early episodes, PJC director Robin Lloyd hawked products from her store on the air, but the producers soon axed this commercial aspect. The show generally focused on “a visiting name, an action, a vigil, a protest, an interview with a local activist,” Everts says. In other words, it covered a lot of territory. Some episodes are shot in the VCAM studio, like the call-in show; others consist of video of a local event. Some are excerpts from professionally produced documentaries available on VHS, while others are amateur docs, such as a record of the 1993 Freedom to Travel Challenge, when 174 Americans defied the ban on travel to Cuba. (Though Everts only appears fleetingly on that tape, his memory of the trip is vivid. “I hugged Fidel,” he says.) But one thing the “Review” isn’t, unlike many political public-access shows, is a soapbox for its producer. As he demonstrates in the call-in show, Everts can “preach it” with the best of them. But he can also sit back and let his guests, or his subject, take center stage. One early episode is a conversation in the studio between Everts and Dave Dellinger, the lifelong activist and member of the Chicago Seven who died in Montpelier in 2004. In the episode, Dellinger has just finished fasting for 42 days on the U.S. Capitol steps for “peace and justice in the Americas,” he says. As Dellinger tells anecdotes from the ’60s, the camera only occasionally cuts to Everts, who sports a Maynard G. Krebs goatee, a full head of white hair and a bluechecked shirt. “When you’re violent yourself, it’s easier to deal with violence,” he chimes in, as Dellinger discusses how FBI moles tried to goad activists to violence. When Dellinger says the only choice in that year’s presidential election is “none of the above,” Everts says with a chuckle, “I put that on my absentee ballot.” In other episodes, Everts shows a commercial video excerpt and follows it with personal commentary. They Can’t Break Our Union, a documentary about the strike at Sterling Radiator in Westfield, Massachusetts, in 1981, prompts Everts to reminisce about his role in the nationwide strike against Wilson Meat Packers in 1959. Banned from the plant for six months, he took a job offered by the local longshoremen. “After the first day of loading bananas I could hardly walk,” he recalls. Another episode presents Everts’ home-
made doc of a visit to South Africa’s Robben Island, the desolate rock off Capetown where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Everts appears only as a voice, but his singsong, homespun narration is oddly evocative. “There’s Robben Island in the distance. Just a flat pancake surrounded by really rugged rocky shoreline,” he says, following a lengthy, silent view of the ferry crossing. The “Peace & Justice Review” jumps around the globe, but it’s also a record of Chittenden County’s activist legacy. A 1994 episode documents a 10-year reunion of the “Winooski 44,” who invaded Senator Robert
ism here.” When someone suggests calling security, Sugarman retorts, “I am security. Congratulations, you’re handing a victory to the Right. You’ve been co-opted, and God forgive you. Don’t allow the Left to be perverted in the name of anti-Semitism.” It’s a powerful moment from a turbulent time, when even academic civility couldn’t restrain people’s emotions. But perhaps more powerful is what happens after the professor leaves. Peace activist Sister Miriam Ward rises and, voice shaking, recites the numbers of Israelis and Palestinians killed in the past few days of violence. “My message tonight, contrary to what Professor Sugarman said, is
The “Peace & Justice Review” can be seen on Channel 15 in the Burlington area at 3 p.m. on Tuesdays, 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays, and 1:30 p.m. on Fridays. New shows will air through the end of March.

Stafford’s Winooski office in 1984 to protest U.S. involvement in El Salvador. Besides Everts in his familiar blue-checked shirt, the Congregational Church gathering features a young “Debbie” Markowitz, wearing round glasses and dandling a toddler. (The current Vermont secretary of state was there with her husband Paul, one of the 44.) Another episode preserves a 2001 Burlington panel discussion called “Politics, History and the Media,” moderated by Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven and featuring historian Howard Zinn, journalist Gwenda Blair, and Amy Goodman of Pacifica Radio. Though thought-provoking, such discussions among activists don’t tend to feature strongly opposing viewpoints or intense debate. That’s why it’s a surprise to come across a December 2001 episode documenting a “Palestine/Israel Forum” in Lafayette Hall on the UVM campus, which offers a rare moment of drama. After a student gives an impassioned speech decrying Israel, religion professor Richard Sugarman disrupts the gathering, calling it an “exercise in anti-Semitism” because no Israeli speakers were invited. “I’m going to tell you something, and I’m not leaving until I’m done,” he bellows. “I have friends who were killed in those restaurants [by suicide bombers]. There’s no debate here, there’s no free speech here, there’s no justice here, and there’s no social-
. . . end the cycle of violence,” she says, holding up a battered protest sign bearing those words. All these moments are part of Ed Everts’ legacy. At its annual dinner In 2005, VCAM gave him a Director’s Award for his lifetime achievement. Serena Chaudhry, current director of the PJC, notes that Everts was also runner-up for the United Way’s Hometown Hero award. “Service organizations pull on people’s heartstrings, while advocacy and activist groups nudge people’s intellect and conscious[ness],” she writes in an email. “The work we do is not always tangible. Ed’s Hometown Hero [nomination] helped our work to be recognized.” Chaudhry says the PJC will conduct a marketing survey this spring to determine how best to “carry on Ed’s legacy.” “We’re pretty committed to doing the show,” she says. “It’s a question of figuring out what kind of format we’ll use.” The currently running episode shows that Everts is still on the move: It consists of footage he took at the recent national convention of Veterans for Peace in Seattle. Does he ever sit on the couch and contemplate the fruits of his labor? Actually, Everts says, he’s never watched the show. “We don’t get cable TV.” m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one? Contact Margot Harrison at margot@sevendaysvt.com.

atholic colleges, particularly their administrations, aren’t known for taking bold steps in radically new directions — the safe and familiar are more the norm. So it came as no surprise to many at St. Michael’s College in Colchester that Dr. John J. “Jack” Neuhauser, a St. Michael’s trustee since 2001, was chosen to succeed Marc vanderHeyden as the next president of Vermont’s largest Catholic school. Neuhauser, 63, was the candidate who neither ruffled many feathers nor elicited unbridled enthusiasm; he’s a liberal Catholic with solid academic credentials and a proven administrative track record. But convincing SMC’s presidential search committee — six of the 11 were his fellow trustees — may have been an easier task than winning over faculty, staff and students, some of whom were pushing for a younger and more dynamic leader. By all appearances, Neuhauser seems unaccustomed to and a bit uncomfortable in the spotlight. More soft-spoken and reserved than his charismatic predecessor, he’s a left-brain thinker. Neuhauser has a Bachelor’s degree in physics from Manhattan College, a Master’s in operations research and statistics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a doctorate in mathematics, also from RPI. His achievements sure add up. As academic vice president and dean of faculties at Boston College, Neuhauser helped grow the full-time faculty by 50 members, doubled the number of endowed professorships, and boosted the college’s grant funding from $20 million to more than $40 million annually. Under his leadership, BC also received the fourth-highest number of applications of any private university in the United States. Longtime SMC history prof George Dameron expects Neuhauser to be an approachable, pro-faculty leader with a firm grasp on the financial complexities of higher education. “It was an extremely apt appointment at this stage for the college,” he suggests. Neuhauser assumes the St. Mike’s helm at a crucial time — not only for the college but for Vermont’s Catholic community in general. A year ago, the Diocese of Burlington announced that seven of Vermont’s 130 parishes were closing and another 14 were consolidating. This at a time when the Catholic Church faces dwindling attendance, priest shortages and scandal-driven financial woes. Like all Catholic colleges and universities in the United States, St. Michael’s is in the midst of reexamining its own religious identity. A year ago, vanderHeyden asked the faculty, “Is St. Michael’s College ‘Catholic’ enough?” This soul-searching, driven by the Vatican’s effort to reaffirm the religious identities of all American Catholic colleges and universities, is more than a philosophical thought experiment. It has serious implications for the students and faculty SMC recruits and, ultimately, for the intellectual and cultural climate on campus. Neuhauser, who formally succeeds vanderHeyden on July 1, sat down with Seven Days last week to talk about himself, the future and the Catholic identity of St. Michael’s College.
SD: Do you think St. Mike’s is “Catholic enough?” JN: I don’t know what that means. I think it is, but does that mean you go to Mass, or does it mean you have a certain set of beliefs, or you live in a certain way? It probably means all these things. Especially for young people, this is bound to be a time of exploration — it was for me — and I’d be surprised if it weren’t for the typical 18-, 19- or 20-year-old . . . One of the things college lets you do is take different viewpoints, argue the pro, then argue the con.
SEVEN DAYS: You’re a math and science whiz. Is that an unusual academic background for the head of a Catholic, liberal-arts college?
SD: At Boston College, more than half of the new faculty hired during your tenure were people of color. Is boosting diversity at St. Michael’s a
JACK NEUHAUSER: It might be. I was a physics major because I’m sure somebody said to me in high school that you should be a physics major. It wasn’t as if I knew what I was getting into. I found science to be a very good background, even though I never practiced physics — the rigor, the toughness of the mathematics. I actually had more credits in philosophy than I did in physics. SD: What are the biggest challenges you’ll face at St. Michael’s? JN: Enrollment is going to be a problem because the demographics are just against you. Such a large percentage of the college-going population — it could be as high as 30 percent by 2010 — will be Hispanic. We’re not terribly good at recruiting them. Nobody is . . . The populations that are growing are in the South and West, they don’t have enough financial aid. We need to keep it affordable. There are not a lot of new ways to do that. SD: What else? JN: Financing in general. It’s healthy now, but you’re only two mistakes away from bankruptcy at any of these schools. In a broader sense, what does it mean to be a liberal arts college in an age when everyone wants to be an investment banker? . . . Do we really want to send all our kids to Wall Street? That’s not the only way to live. SD: St. Michael’s College is re-examining its own Catholic identity. Did you have a similar dialogue at Boston College as well? JN: A fair amount. I would have to say, at times it was quite contentious, because a college tends to be a pretty pluralistic place and has a tough time with dogmatic pronouncements, especially from a church that would seem to be weakened in terms of moral authority to begin with. So, we had a lot of heated discussions, especially amongst the faculty. SD: Did this discussion arise much while you were a trustee for SMC? JN: Oh, sure. I remember one or two board meetings where it was the principle topic of discussion, and not without differences of opinion. And not from where you’d expect them. It’s not like it was Edmundites on one side of an issue and lay people on the other. It was all over the lot. I think it broke down as much by age. Those people who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s are still kids of the ’60s and ’70s, and that was a very non-doctrinaire age.

priority for you? JN: Yes, though I expect it will be more difficult here because it’s Vermont. It was probably a little easier at Boston College, but it was something I really cared about. I think you have a responsibility to your students to have a diverse faculty. It’s hard to recruit students of color if you don’t have anybody else of color. You really have to try hard, and I expect to be personally involved in it. SD: Will that include religious diversity? JN: Yes, although I expect you’re going to get that anyway. I think it’s probably true that if you’re a Catholic college, you probably ought to have some percentage of your faculty Catholic, but I’m not in favor of preferential hiring based on religion. I think if you’re an avowed Catholic place, but not in a proselytizing way, you’ll just naturally end up with a disproportionate share of Catholics. Will it be 70 or 80 percent? No, I don’t think so. SD: Is it important for St. Mike’s to have a “critical mass� of Catholic students? JN: I think it’s important to have Catholic students here. Again, I have a problem knowing what that “Catholic� means. We used to have a discussion [at Boston College] that they only wanted to hire practicing Catholics. What does that mean? Some of the bishops that got into all this trouble were practicing Catholics . . . I think there’s some level of Catholic students we ought to expect. Is it 30, 40, 70 percent? I don’t think it’s 70 percent. But again, I think there’s a good deal of selfselection . . . I don’t think it would be good if you were 100 percent Catholic. SD: Why not? JN: To grow up in this world, you need more diversity. You need to be more challenged. Some of the more fundamental institutions where you’re not allowed to challenge their faith, I think that’s bad for the people who are there. It doesn’t allow you to grow the way you should. SD: What are your expectations about the relationship between the college and the Catholic Diocese? JN: I don’t know. In other places, it can be tense. It certainly was in Boston when I was there. At the same time, much of what you’re doing is in common. You can really help each other instead of throwing stones at one another. I have no intention of throwing stones. I’d like to get to know the bishop to the extent that I can and, hopefully, we can agree on most things and agree that it’s not unlike a marriage. There’s a certain set of things we’re going
to disagree about, but we’re going to have to get along anyway. SD: Is it the role of the Diocese to direct the College? JN: I tend to see the college as quite autonomous. But the local [bishop] certainly has a role in terms of commenting, being present and even saying, “I disagree violently with what you’re doing here.� That’s his role. And my role is to say, “Well, free speech counts, too.� In America, we have to learn how to do both. There’ll potentially be times when we disagree. You don’t want to have fights within the family.

SD: In 2005, the appointment of Jeffrey Trumbower as dean of the college was controversial because he’s openly gay. As a trustee, did you support his appointment? JN: Yes, though it never came to the board. It was a presidential decision. I knew Jeff because of his scholarship. He’s a very good scholar, and a nice guy. To tell you the truth, I was a little surprised that Marc [vanderHeyden] was able to convince him to become an administrator. SD: Would you support the hiring of another gay administrator or faculty member at St. Michael’s College? JN: It wouldn’t be an issue for me. I certainly supported hiring without regard to [sexual preference] at Boston College. Not that everybody agrees with me. I think you have to be who you are. If we suddenly take three steps to the right, you run the risk of losing your identity . . . In my experience, it’s very hard to dislike people you know. To the extent you can break bread together, it’s a lot easier to get along.

he Oscar nominations bestowed on Babel suggest that the time is ripe for stories that remind us the world is getting smaller every day, and we’re all more connected than we think. Alejandro GonzĂĄlez Iùårritu’s solemn film wasn’t wildly popuSTORY MARGOT lar, but it seems to have struck a chord. HARRISON FireWife, the first novel from Yale grad student and Randolph resident Tinling FireWife: A Story Choong, plucks some resonant nearby of Fire and Water strings. It’s also the debut of a talented by Tinling Choong. writer who has a knack for alternating Nan A. Talese/ Doubleday, 206 between floridly sensuous prose and plainspoken abruptness Ă la Jamaica Kincaid. pages, $21. FireWife is the story of eight women Tinling Choong who live scattered over the globe, from reads from and Taipei to Amsterdam to New York, all of signs FireWife on February 10 Asian ancestry. The nominal protagonist is at Cover to Cover, Nin, a young architect of Chinese heritage Randolph, who, much like the author, was raised in 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Malaysia and now lives in the U.S. Info, 728-5509. Like many — perhaps too many — young female protagonists of fiction, Nin is on a journey of self-discovery. She’s sick of her job designing “E.D.I. Fridayâ€? chain restaurants for cities such as Bangkok and Singapore. So she obtains a six-month leave of absence to fly around the world shooting portraits of “nameless girls and womenâ€? for a photo essay she calls “FireWife.â€? Nin’s deeper agenda is to rediscover her own “fireâ€? self — a self free from guilt over the role she played in her sister’s accidental death decades earlier. In the novel’s carefully constructed symbolic scheme, based on a Chinese creation myth, “fireâ€? represents spontaneity, boldness and sexual freedom. “Waterâ€? represents stability, continuity and the maternal virtues most cultures expect women to embody. Nin has spent most of her 31 years being “good,â€? as daughter, wife and employee, but now she’s had it with her “Water Me.â€? “How does one leap off the solid cliff of memories and fly immensely?â€? she asks. “How does one become free as a fearless tiger with wings?â€? If this sounds like every “female selfempowermentâ€? narrative ever written, it is — in some ways. But Choong is a complex thinker, and she shows us the other
side: the dangerous heat of fire as well as the allure. The first voice to speak in the novel isn’t Nin. It’s the ghost of Lakshmi, a lowcaste Indian woman whose “fire tiger� spirit, “fierce but blind,� helped bring her to grief. In a lyrical, compressed narrative of horrors that’s like a darker version of the opening of The Color Purple, Lakshmi tells her niece Parvati, whose dreams she’s visiting, how she married for love and found herself in slavery. “Really, they respected cows and fish more than they did me,� she says of her husband’s family. “They didn’t kill cows.� By the end of her tale, Lakshmi has returned literally to her element — fire. But we’re told that her spirit follows Nin on her travels, as the photographer encounters a series of women who have their own stories to tell. They do so in their own words, in a series of short chapters that alternate with chapters narrated by Nin while she’s in transit. Like Lakshmi’s, most of these stories are rife with oppression and atrocities. In Thailand, we meet a 14-year-old prostitute; in Japan, a woman who sells her naked body for use as a sushi table. In the West, women don’t seem to be much better off: These narrators speak of childhood molestation, spousal abuse, bulimia. A welcome exception to the pattern is Zimi, a Taipei rock musician with a saucy voice who makes her own choices, whether she’s renting out her forehead as ad space or breaking her own hymen so the virginityobsessed doctors will let her donate eggs to an infertile friend. That sauciness — which crops up in almost every narrative, no matter how grim — is the saving grace of the book. FireWife has compelling lyrical passages, and its philosophical quandaries about balance and interconnection provoke real thought. Yet the mysticism sometimes feels stale, and Nin’s meditations can become dangerously reminiscent of a selfhelp book — she keeps telling us about liberation, not showing us. (“Do. Be,� she lectures herself. “Don’t analyze. Don’t think.�)

Like many young people today, Nin is equally comfortable discussing the life of Buddha and the modern myth of The Matrix.

FROM FIREWIFE: December 31, 1981. We were at Good-Grandma’s Tapioca House in the village of Terong that afternoon because my Other-Grandma, the Godzilla, had thrown Mama’s clothes from inside Kinta House onto the main street of Kinta at 12 p.m. sharp. Mian, Liang, and I were playing Lost in Space on the Kinta main street pavement at that exact moment. The last day of the year, school ended earlier than usual. All the Kinta town folks and children were home early. Like us, they saw Mama’s clothes shooting into the street, propelled and sustained for an unusually long time in the noon air by the simple rage of my Other-Grandma. She was a tiger. I asked Mama once if I could change to be a rabbit like her or a dragon like Mian or a horse like Liang. Mama explained that tiger has many kinds. You can be a good one. She didn’t say you are a good one. She said I can be a good one. Can Be is dangerous and can be bad. Underneath Mama’s airborne clothes, I saw the neighbors’ eyes piercing from the deep shadows in their living rooms through the gaps in their front doors. The eyes had teeth. Sharp ones. I saw the gaps of their front doors turn into the gaps of their front teeth, out of which gossip would self-sprout and self-feed. Mama left her clothes untouched on the main street that day. We left our chalk-drawn spaceship sitting apologetically on the sidewalk. We made a line walking down the main street heading toward Good-Grandma’s Tapioca House in the next village, fifty stone-throws from Kinta House. Kinta people’s eyes had teeth. They nibbled at my feet. A blind-white noon. Windless and peopleless, the street smelled faintly of smoked rubber, and stray dogs stood like amputees. Hissing crickets hissed us along. I wished we were on horses, like the cowboys with long chins in Bonanza, vanishing into the end of their Main Street, into sunset, into justice, into a happy The End. But we walked.

oughly 60 years before Lizzie Borden “took an axe / And gave her mother 40 whacks,” as the lyrical legend of Fall River, Massachusetts, goes, Vermonters saw their own murderess lurch from the shadows to kill one of her kin.

prepared a short written piece for the program.) “I believe Rebecca got a fair trial, as that term was defined in her time,” Gillies writes in an email. He adds, however, “Nobody would think this case would survive an appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court if that were done today, but times are different.” Gillies and Campbell were both struck by the general vehemence of popular opinion against Peake — “particularly the zeal,” Gillies writes, “with which Rebecca’s friends and neighbors worked to ensure her conviction, and the curious words of the chief judge [Charles K. Williams] upon sentencing her to hang, with their heavy Christian sermonizing and shaming tone.” In Campbell’s view, the fact that a woman was being accused of killing a man — at a time when women had relatively few individual rights — stacked the deck against Rebecca Peake from the outset. She notes that part of the prosecution’s case hinged on portraying Ephraim as a hard-working soul who’d “made good” by earning $1500 to buy the farm from his father. Digging more deeply into that claim, however, Campbell discovered that Jonathan had returned the sum to Ephraim that same day, raising questions about whether Ephraim had means of his own or if the transaction was just for show. Rebecca was painted a villainess, plain and simple, and an ingrate to boot in an age when women were more dependent on their menfolk. Given the implications of that power dynamic, Self Evidence becomes something of a costume drama with gender-political overtones. The play’s modern sensibility, including ample sexual tension and wry humor, helps to sound themes that resonate in the 21st century. “I do think women will rally around this story, because it wasn’t so long ago,” Campbell says. “And in some ways, I don’t think things are terribly different now. They may be legally, but in terms of our attitudes — not just men to women but women to women — I think not that much has changed, really.” But Self Evidence is not a retrial. That might more accurately describe The Trial of Mrs. Rebecca Peake, which Campbell wrote, directed, and produced in 1997 before staging the play around the state into 2000. Aside from voiceover readings from the Peake trial transcript, the play takes place primarily in what has become the home of the fictional Dr. William Pember (played by Kevin Christopher) and his new bride, Fiona (Xana Wolf ). No sooner has Fiona taken up residence than crises of varying magnitudes begin to flare. William’s brother Clayton (G. Richard Ames), a lush and lout visiting from New York City, is helping himself freely to his hosts’ brandy. The Pember matriarch, played by Phyllis Powell, blusters about imperiously, finding almost nothing about her son’s domicile to her liking. Add to the mix a creepy hired man named Tom Butterfield (Jeff Tolbert), who is most likely abusing the teenage Irish servant girl Helen O’Grady (Molly Bombard), and the

stage is set for some rich family dysfunction. The ghost of Rebecca Peake, an eerie, dark-eyed presence in the form of actor Mary Scripps, moves throughout the house. She appears most vividly to Helen as she acts out a defense that, presumably, she was never able to present at trial. In this ghost story, however, the ghost is really a bit player; the Pembers and company make plenty of their own bumps in the night as they drag their psychic baggage from room to room. To amplify this effect, Campbell has made the bold staging choice of trying to simulate a house more realistically than one typically finds, with furniture positioned more in keeping with an authentic domestic space than with a theatrical space. She’s aiming for an open look into the Pember home, with various rooms exposed to the audience so that action taking place throughout the dwelling can be experienced as it might organically unfold — even, at times, with dialogue overlapping. “That’s what a house is like,” Campbell says of her set. “And that’s what it would’ve been like in Rebecca’s time, or your house or my house.” The effect goes beyond the look and feel of the play, though. “We’re on top of each other, but we’re isolated from each other,” Campbell adds. “And that’s really what I think I’m exploring in this play, just how isolated we really are from one another, even in a family, and maybe especially in a family.” � Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

ARTWORK “Found Sunlight” and “Drastic Action” by Lauren Olitski
PHOTO Marc Awodey
oems by Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson provide a literary context for the art of Lauren Olitski, currently showing at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in an exhibit entitled “Under the Snow: paintings inspired by winter and dance.” Its nine pieces, ranging from 20-some inches to 10 feet in size, were installed to coincide with the Stephen Petronio Dance Company’s “Bloom and Bud Suite,” which appeared at the Flynn Center on January 6. A key difference between visual art and dance is that performances must end, while paintings are, or ought to be, timeless. That should be no problem for Olitski’s abstract expressionist-influenced works. The Flynn’s description of choreographer Petronio’s works as “modern landscapes for the senses” could just as aptly be applied to Olitski’s canvasses: Every inch of them is infused with the lyrical spirit and movement of dance. The monumental painting “Found Sunlight” distills a broad range of hues into a warm and unified chromatic harmony. An atmosphere of yellow and pink stain painting appears to be the foundation of the wholly abstract, 48-by-108-inch vista; it recalls the canvasses of the artist’s eminent father, Jules Olitski. The younger Olitski unleashed a plethora of paint applications over that ethereal foundation, creating a veil of spattered passages in several places. Shimmering metallic pigments enliven the surface of “Found Sunlight,” and patches of red-orange acrylic punctuate the vast picture plane. These patches are connected by drips laid down like irregularly positioned steppingstones. Lines from Whitman and Dickinson appear in modest type on the gallery walls. Dickinson’s stanza “Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul / And sings the tune without the words, / And never stops at all” is closely related to the show’s brightest, most exuberant paintings, such as “Found Sunlight.” In contrast, Whitman’s “Unseen Buds” — which begins, “Unseen buds, infinite, hidden well / Under snow and ice . . .” — is associated with pieces that obliquely reference winter’s landscape. Silvery-white blankets of paint drift thickly in uneven textures along the lower reaches
stark branches — life inside the barren trees and ground of January, February and Vermont’s March.” Such is the vision enunciated in more than half the works in this show, including the pair of 10-footlong horizontal canvasses “Winter Light Left” and “Winter Light Right.” Olitski’s vertical 86-by-68inch “Drastic Action” uses a more restrained palette than that of “Found Sunlight,” but it is enlivened by greater varia-
Every inch of Olitsky’s canvasses is infused with the lyrical spirit and movement of dance. of the show’s “colder” canvasses. A translucent mauve disk hovers to the right in the 22-by-27-inch “Under Snow and Ice (and Thoughts of Walt Whitman)”; it resembles an evening sun floating in a subzero sky crowded with ice crystals. Chaotic textures reminiscent of denuded trees seem frozen into a sloping band that fills the painting’s middle ground, and a creamy impasto field of dips and swirls plays the part of an icy meadow in the foreground. Olitski’s artist statement reveals her inspiration: “When I look very closely, I can see the dark maroon-purple tips of the
tions in line and color than those found in “Under Snow and Ice.” A splash of inky-black dots climbs up the left edge of the composition, while a cross of red-orange hangs like a sprawling constellation in the upper right. Chartreuse corners anchor the abstraction. By inviting painter Olitski into a conversation about dance and poetry, the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery exemplifies an ecumenical approach to the fine arts. Aesthetic conceptions will always crosspollinate in such an environment, even in the midst of winter. m

When explorers Lewis and Clark trekked across the great Northwest some 200 years ago, the ancient forests were vast, deep and unspoiled. Contemporary photographer Robert Adams examined the same Oregon landscape more recently and found . . . changes. His portfolio of 164 images, entitled Turning Back, documents not only evidence of landscape abuse but also nature’s resilience. Now in the collection of the Middlebury College Museum of Art, Adams’ work offers a commentary on the country’s ambiguous relationship with its forests. Pictured: “Sitka Spruce, Cape Blanco State Park, Curry County, Oregon,” silver gelatin print. As part of the exhibit’s opening reception next Thursday, February 15, Middlebury scholar-in-residence Bill McKibben will give a lecture entitled “The Arts and the Environmental Crisis” at 4:30 p.m. in the Center for the Arts.

Wario on the Move Call it the innovator’s dilemma. Sure, you can come out with a provocative, cutting-edge game that defines its genre. But then, what’s next? In the case of “WarioWare,” you take the brilliance of the original idea and franchise it to death. Fortunately, five games into the series, “WarioWare: Smooth Moves” for the Nintendo Wii finds a reservoir of wit and enough new ideas to keep the original charm chugging along. If you missed the original, “WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$” minted the idea that bundling together lots of very, very short interactive activities actually would produce feelings of pleasure rather than assembly-line pain. Packed on the portable Game Boy, “WarioWare” was a smash, streaming bits of gaming to a short-attention-span community of gamers weaned on fast-cut MTV and instant-messaging. The game was such a hit, a sequel was inevitable. And Nintendo was ready to deliver. A GameCube version added multiplayer, and, not long after, the Game Boy DS showed off its touch screen in a game, appropriately subtitled “Touched.” The Game Boy got its own sequel, adding motionsensing to the franchise. With all this tinkering and tweaking of the formula, it was inevitable that Nintendo would invest in a new version of the game for the Wii. After all, Nintendo’s new gaming console earned accolades for its innovation in interface, providing a motion-sensing game controller that looks like a TV remote. And “WarioWare” was just begging for a chance to bring its low-fidelity graphics and spiked humor to a new territory. “Smooth Moves” crash-landed on the Wii with all the anticipation an avant-garde series commands and the ironic burden of having to continue to push the envelope.

This time around, “WarioWare” never fails to amuse, but the shock and awe of a massive, creative explosion is gone. This iteration remains so faithful to earlier incarnations that, unless this is your first time visiting Wario’s microgame world, the Wii version feels more comfortable than provocative. That’s not to say the game is without its pleasures. Holding the controller to your face like an elephant’s trunk and plucking apples, waving your hips to hula-hoop a donut or trying to insert dentures in the mouth of a fast-moving grandma keep the smiles coming, even if the novelty has worn off. Like its namesake, “WarioWare” always arrives ready to party and poke a finger in the eye of propriety. But like the class clown, it will also always have to look for new ways to keep its schtick interesting.
Who’s It For: As strange as “WarioWare: Smooth Moves” is, it’s simple enough for anyone to pick up and play. And since it’s weird, people watching eventually will want to give it a try, just to see what all the fuss is about. If You Like This, Try That: Since the original “WarioWare” debuted, the idea of microgames has stuck in the popular imagination. Neither “Rayman Raving Rabbids” on the Wii nor “WTF” on the PSP is as fast-paced or even as micro as “WarioWare,” but both find their fun by loading up on the mini-games. Best Part: Instructions on how to hold the Wii controller take a page from Jack Handy’s “Deep Thoughts” segments on “Saturday Night Live.” A soothing voice provides surreal commentary while coaching you through each technique.

theborowitzreport Experts Go On Strike — Work Action Could Last Months, Non-experts Say
I
n an unprecedented labor action that could directly impact American journalists’ access to space-filling quotations, America’s experts went on strike today, seeking payment and benefits for their oft-quoted remarks. For decades, journalists who have been up against deadlines with many column inches to fill have called upon experts at colleges, universities and think-tanks in the hopes that the loquacious sages would spew forth much-needed verbiage. In exchange, the experts have asked little more than that the journalists spell their names correctly — but all that is about to change, the striking experts hope. At a massive rally of disgruntled experts at the University of Minnesota, Professor Davis Logsdon, a leading expert and the president of the United Experts Union, fired up the crowd of irate know-it-alls. “As experts, the time has come for us to stand together and refuse to give away our opinions for free,” Professor Logsdon said. “And a recent study shows
that 98 percent of you agree with me.” Tracy Klujian, one of two dozen or so non-experts who crossed picket lines at the University of Minnesota to work as so-called “replacement experts” for the duration of the strike, said he had “no idea” how long the work stoppage could last. “Maybe it could go on for months,” he said. “But I don’t know much about labor unions and stuff, so you’re really asking the wrong guy.”
But I don’t know much about labor unions and stuff, so you’re really asking the wrong guy. TRACY KLUJIAN Elsewhere, in an appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Admiral J. Fallon said it was time for the United States to redefine its goals in Iraq to something more realistic, such as “chaos.”

ARIES
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Happy Valentine
(March 21-April 19): Happy Valentine Daze, Aries! On this lover’s holiday, let’s see what we can do to purge some of your old romantic karma. With a cleaner slate, you’ll be freer to create the kind of love you really want in the future. To begin, write a list of the worst sins you’ve committed against your ex-intimates. Include behavior that was ignorant, cruel, or unconscious. Next, think of atonements you might make for the hurtful things you did. For instance, you could send your ex an “I’m sorry for the craziness our relationship caused you� letter. Finally, Aries, forgive yourself of your errors.
Daze, Cancerian! I sing a sly WOW toward the sky and murmur a resonant YOW toward the earth in rowdy reverent gratitude for the wonders that come your way from the special people in your life. I send out a special YAYA and GAGA to that Mysterious Other who has the power to challenge you, teach you, confound you, inspire you, and love you almost as well as you love yourself. Long may your story unfold in all of its enigmatic glory! Long may you liberate each other from your suffering!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Happy Valentine Daze,
Leo! I predict that more love will flow into your life in the future. Why? Because beginning now, you will remove the obstructions that have been interfering with that flow. That’s not all. More love will flow into your life because you’ll decide that you are actually very lovable-—more lovable than you’ve previously acknowledged. That’s not all. More love will flow into your life because you will vow to invoke in yourself a tremendous surge of willpower that will make you hungry to give love, to bestow blessings, and to extend favors. You’ll derive deep pleasure, a real libidinous thrill, from radiating generous emotions in all directions.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Happy Valentine
Daze, Taurus! During this lover’s holiday, I encourage you to devote yourself full-time to acting like a person who’s in love. Even if you’re not currently in the throes of passion for a special someone, pretend you are. Everywhere you go, exude that charismatic blend of shell-shocked contentment and blissful turmoil that comes over you when you’re infatuated. Let everyone you meet soak up the delicious wisdom you exude. Dispense free blessings and extra slack like a rich saint high on natural endorphins. (I assure you that this assignment is in perfect accord with the astrological omens.)
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You’ve been walking the ocean’s edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry,� writes Coleman Barks in his translation of the 13th-century poet Rumi. What he means is that you’ve been too tentative and inhibited in your relationship with the tidal forces of love; you’ve been holding back from giving your total devotion to the primal power that fuels the universe. “You must dive naked under and deeper under,� Barks and Rumi continue, “a thousand times deeper!� Consider taking the poets’ advice, Virgo. If you can’t manage diving a thousand times deeper, try to least make it a hundred times. Happy Valentine Daze!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Happy Valentine
Daze, Gemini! I hope you’ll be very specific about what you want from intimacy and collaboration in the coming months. To get you in the mood, I’ve written a personal ad for you to use. Or create your own, borrowing from the spirit of mine. Here you go. Slapstick thinker with refined sensibilities seeks a saint-like sinner with insanely cool style for a longdistance joyride towards the outskirts of Nirvana. Established meditation practice and a good bedside manner are desirable. Would it be too much to ask that you might also have a high level of emotional intelligence without boring me to death with your maturity? Is it possible that you’ll be an entertaining talker who also knows how to listen with your wild heart turned up all the way? Let’s keep reinventing ourselves forever.
LIbRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Happy Valentine Daze, Libra! After careful meditation about what advice might help you expand your experience of intimacy, I’ve decided to offer you the following meditation. “Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly. It wants to rip to shreds all your erroneous notions of truth that make you fight within yourself, and with others.� So writes Daniel Ladinsky in his translation of a poem by Hafiz. Love, he continues, “sometimes wants to do us a great favor: hold us upside down and shake all the nonsense out.� That’s a pretty good description of where I think you are in your current relationship with love, Libra. I hope you’re brave enough to cooperate with its gift.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Happy Valentine Daze, Scorpio! I dare you to up the ante in your relationship with a special someone who both frustrates and inspires you. One way to do that might be to say the following to that person: “We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours. I want to hold you close like a lute, so that we can cry out with loving. Would you rather throw stones at a mirror? I am your mirror and here are the stones.� (This passage was written by the 13th-century poet Rumi and translated by Coleman Barks.)
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “From studying the samurai art of kendo,� writes a reader named Amanda, “I’ve learned that some of history’s most fearsome warriors derived their great strength from sublime tenderness.� Your assignment during this season of love, Sagittarius, is to act on that advice in every way you can imagine. I want you to be a sensitive juggernaut of courage and daring in the coming months, and I believe the best way to do that is to intensify your commitment to mastering the art of ingenious intimacy. Happy Valentine Daze!
Valentine Daze, Aquarius! During this lover’s holiday, I’m praying for you to have mind-boggling communions with smart-mouthed, quick-thinking virtuosos who are at least as brilliant as you. To be frank, I don’t care whether or not these communions are with attractive members of your favorite gender. In accordance with the promises of your current astrological omens, I just want to see you stimulated to the point of spiritual and intellectual rapture by kaleidoscopic give-and-take sessions.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Happy Valentine
Daze, Pisces! My team of Prayer Warriors and I are sending you surges of the smartest love we can conjure up. Through the sweet fierce force of our high-tech magic, we’ve transformed our hearts into the equivalents of 100,000-watt broadcasting towers that are dosing you with wave after wave of primal adoration and appreciation. Open yourself to our gift, please. It’s as real as a thunderstorm, as potent as the Buddha’s libido. If you’ve felt that no one could ever see you for who you really are, let us prove you wrong. If you’ve fantasized that no one will ever be completely on your side, surrender to the overwhelming evidence that we are your shockingly friendly allies.

CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Happy Valentine Daze, Capricorn. I dare you to say the following to a special someone with whom you want to be closer: “Your face is true and your hair is perfect and I love you. You make boats in my dreams and you speak without words and I love you. Your fears unnerve me and your questions amuse me and I love you. I love you not only for who you are, but for the interesting person I become when I’m with you. I say I love you and love you and love you until the words become the constant song of your voice in my head and the original ache of memory in my soul. I love you more than life and death, more than everything that’s in between the light and the dark. Do you believe me? Try harder. Do you believe me now? I’m always with you, which is why I know you will never abandon yourself.�

film review
Because I Said So H
I
’ve been giving it a great deal of thought, and have come to the conclusion that the squandering of Diane Keaton’s screen legacy is without parallel in the annals of cinema. Has another performer trashed a great career as cavalierly, as deliberately, as HALF BAKED unnecessarily? Keaton has made Think about it: This is an actress who made some less than memorable films in immortal comedies alongside Woody Allen. Play It recent years, but Again Sam, Manhattan, Annie Hall, for God’s sake, her latest takes and the list goes on. Then she took an astonishing the cake.
turn for the dramatic and did acclaimed work in some of the era’s most important films — Reds, Looking For Mr. Goodbar and a couple of other pictures you may remember — The Godfather I and II. How does one leave that sort of professional orbit and plummet fireball-style into the realm of Baby Boom and Father of the Bride without knowing one is doing so? But there was much worse to come — Town & Country, Hanging Up, The Family Stone and now, Because I Said So, by far the most appallingly cretinous picture in which Keaton has ever appeared. A by-the-numbers chick flick about a meddling mom who plays matchmaker for her youngest daughter (Mandy Moore), the movie lacks even trace amounts of originality or wit. No cliché of the genre goes untapped, no twist or turn of the plot un-telegraphed. It’s every dumb romantic comedy ever made rolled into one.
Keaton’s character takes out a personal ad, interviews a series of predictably geekish respondents, and narrows the field down to a hunky but self-satisfied architect (Tom Everett Scott). He and Moore hit it off, but the young woman meets another, completely different sort of guy (Gabriel Macht) at about the same time, and takes up with him, too. He’s a musician and single father. He doesn’t make as much money as the architect, but he’s more spontaneous and sensitive. Moore’s character is at this point the only person in the theater who doesn’t know with 100 percent certainty which one she’ll choose. And very likely the only one who cares. This is stunningly awful stuff, even for February. How sad to watch Keaton resort to slapstick again and again. For some reason never revealed to the audience, she is constantly carrying elaborate cakes from one place to another and, well, you know the Bad Movie Rules. Two of the most inviolable: If there’s a pool, someone will fall into it. If there are big fancy baked goods, they will be smooshed into faces, dropped on people’s heads and prat-fallen upon. The actress’ latest features every conceivable variation on the Bad Movie cake gag, and not a single one is amusing. And before you offer the “What do you expect, there aren’t any good roles for actresses past a certain age” defense for the trajectory of the 61-yearold’s career, consider the quality of the work being done these days by people like Julie Christie, Charlotte Rampling, Sissy Spacek, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. Diane Keaton’s problem isn’t the passing of time. It’s all the times she could and should have passed but didn’t. RICK KISONAK
Volver HHHH
T
he ubiquitous Pedro Almodóvar adopts Penelope Cruz as his latest muse for his 16th film. In Volver, Cruz leads a predominantly female cast in a crossgenerational story about the culture of death in Almodóvar’s native region of La Mancha, Spain. SURVIVORS The movie opens in a wind-swept cemetery In Almodóvar’s La crowded with women brushing dirt from the headMancha, the men die young, leaving stones of their dead relatives. They are actively conthe women to sort nected to the same soil in which they themselves through the emo- are destined to be buried. One of the film’s crucial tional fall-out. themes contends that returning to a birthplace means making peace with ghosts both real and imagined. Almodovar conveys this idea by weaving together a complex story populated by phantasms of all sorts. Raimunda (Cruz) and her sister Sole (Lola Duenas) believe their parents perished together in a fire. But neighbor Agustina (Blanca Portillo) points out that her own mother disappeared on the same day. Meanwhile, someone has been taking care of senile Aunt Paula (Chus Lampreave). The entire pueblo believes it’s the ghost of Irene, Raimunda and Sole’s dead mother. Played by Carmen Maura, Irene slowly reveals herself to both daughters. Granddaughter Paula (Yohana Cobo) is also in on the secret. And she’s got one of her own. She’s killed a man: Raimunda’s husband, who Paula mistakenly believes is her father. Raimunda inherits from her daughter the challenge of disposing of her husband’s corpse, and
uses this task as an excuse to change jobs. After depositing the body in an empty restaurant freezer, Raimunda agrees to cater lunch for a film crew that’s shooting a movie nearby. The homey atmosphere she creates as a chef provides impetus for the film’s musical centerpiece, in which she serenades her dinner guests with the film’s title song “Volver,” which translates as “to return.” Almodóvar presents his hometown of La Mancha as a place where men die young and women live on to sort out their personal relationships, as well as their shared histories, which are clouded with lies. As the deceased mother to Raimunda and Sole, Irene’s ghost has ostensibly returned to open a dialogue about the facts surrounding her death as they connect to her late husband’s infidelities, which are much more shocking than the tone of the movie would forecast. There are surprises here that tilt at the windmills of La Mancha as metaphors for the lasting effects of the cruelty that men do to their own families. But Almodóvar’s resilient women are no Quixotes. They rise above their traumatic pasts to serve one another and their community. For her beautifully sustained performance Penelope Cruz shared this year’s Cannes Film
Festival award for Best Actress with her co-stars Yohana Cobo, Lola Duenas, Chus Lampreave, Carmen Maura and Blanca Portillo. And deservedly so — they are sublime. COLE SMITHEY

THE TEST OF TIME They can’t all be classics. In fact, what we’ve got for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public consciousness and did so-so business at best. They came and went faster than you can say “straight to video.” Your challenge is to prove they are gone but not forgotten . . .

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. The concept of the Holy GHOST is hard to get a handle on. Calling a woman HANDSOME leaves some room for doubt. Years ago, a college CURFEW turned windows into doors.
PEAPACK, New Jersey, was named after a Birdseye product. In the marriage ceremony, man has morphed into HUSBAND. In GERMANY, suppositories are preferred over pills or injections. A raging fire UNDERSCORES the need for fire extinguishers. SKIDMORE students take mineral baths and watch horse races. The word CLUELESS was coined in the San Fernando Valley. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: INDEFINITE. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: I can’t be specific.
Hard-working HARLOTS help out guys who can’t get a date.

Sitting in with Trattoria Delia’s new waitstaff as they bone up on wine BY SUZANNE PODHAIZER
A
t Burlington’s Trattoria Delia, they’re intense about Italian wine. “Wine is an integral part of the food in Italy, and of the culture,” says Tom Delia, 46, who owns the St. Paul Street restaurant with his wife Lori, 41. The couple’s verve for vino is evident in their 101-strong wine list, which has earned them the Wine Spectator Award of

Griesser also explains that wines from Sardinia sometimes have a “saline or brackish” flavor imparted by the light spray of sea salt that settles on the grapes each evening.

Excellence every year since 1995. But having a celebrated cellar doesn’t mean squat if you can’t sell the stuff. That’s the job of the waitstaff, who help diners pair their preferred dishes with the perfect beverage. Doing that requires not only a natural aptitude for combining flavors, but also in-depth knowledge of the wine. Getting up to speed isn’t a challenge just for “the Tratt,” as fans affectionately call it. Pretty much every restaurant that sells wine does some type of staff training. At Café Shelburne, servers get a booklet full
of info about the wines they’ll be serving, almost all of which hail from France or California. Servers at the Starry Night Café in Ferrisburgh are encouraged to try wines when they’re not working, and they can attend tastings with wine distributors. The Delias take it up a notch at the Tratt, though. Their servers’ required training takes several days and is capped by a seven-page test. To find out what it involves, I’m sitting in on a training for the restaurant’s two newest servers, Kellie Colasurdo and Engjell Vrapi. The process
we undergo is similar to what servers at the Tratt have experienced since the establishment opened. When Lori and Tom founded their traditional Italian restaurant in 1993, the dining climate in the area was much less sophisticated than it is today, Lori suggests. “There was so much people were missing in the Italian cuisine, and we wanted to expose them to it.” Customers who arrived expecting chicken parmesan or spaghetti with garlic sauce were in for a surprise. One early offering was bol-
lito misto with salsa verde, which consists of mixed boiled meats, often including tongue, pig’s trotters and other variety meats, served with a green sauce of parsley, capers, garlic and anchovies. For the rustic batù d’Anatra, duck confit is prepared with sweet and sour yellow and red peppers sautéed with Vermont honey, garlic and balsamic vinegar. As part of this effort to bring “the true, authentic Italian experience” to Vermont, the Delias filled their wine cellar with >> 0 B

varietals that are well known in Italy but relatively unheard of in the States. The selection of whites features wine made with grapes such as Picolit, Kerner and Arneis. Ciliegiolo, Mammolo and Prugnolo show up among the reds. Customers who aren’t familiar with these grapes have a hard time knowing whether a given selection will pair well with their food, or even if they’ll enjoy the flavor. To help the uninitiated, the wine list offers a few recommendations. Caselfarneto Verdicchio dei Castello di Jesi Fontevecchia is recommended to go along with zuppa di pesce, a fish soup featuring clams, mussels, scallops, calamari and shrimp. With brasato di cinghiale — wild boar braised in red wine with tomatoes and herbs — the suggested pairing is Giuseppe Cortese Barbaresco Rabaja. But even with these hints, customers may still feel intimidated by the menu’s abundance of mysterious Italian words, not to mention prices that range from $6.50 a glass to $289 a bottle, and default to “Give me a glass of the house white,� or “I’ll just have some Chianti.� That response is what the Tratt’s wine course is designed to prevent. The training begins with the whites. Manager Jon Griesser, a three-year employee, starts us off with an ample pour of the “house white� — a Pinot Grigio, which, he says, “leaves much to be desired� compared with other wines. We move on through every white served by the glass, discussing each one and jotting tasting notes. Griesser instructs us to pay particular attention to the color of each wine and to aromas — also called the wine’s “nose� — in addition to the taste. When I suggest that one wine tastes like an underripe strawberry, he agrees. But my description of another one as having an aroma reminiscent of potato chips elicits teasing. Each time Griesser pours a new glass, he holds up a map of Italy to point out where the wine comes from. His patter includes detailed information about various kinds of grapes and particular vineyards and regions of Italy. We learn that the Kerner grape, a cross between Riesling and Shiava first bred in 1969, was named after Justinus Kerner, a 19th-century poet and composer of drinking songs. Griesser also explains that wines from Sardinia sometimes have a “saline or brackish� flavor imparted by the light spray of sea salt that settles on the grapes each evening. “There has to be a little bit of academia that goes with the job, or else you’re just a waitron,� he suggests. Sadly for me, trying the really high-end wines isn’t part of the training. “So how does a server describe a wine they’ve never tried?� I pester. “Isn’t it even more important when a customers is thinking of dropping over 100 bucks?� It’s not that I’m hoping to poke a hole in their tasting theory; I just want to get myself a glass of prized Barrolo. No luck. Lori explains that it’s enough to understand the regional characteristics of grapes and know the flavors a particular varietal imparts. DescribPHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

ing a wine in overly specific terms can backfire. “Wine is an agricultural product, and it changes,� she says. “It’s so subjective, but people are expecting . . . that you’ll open the bottle and there will be confetti coming out or something. We’re not certain we can tell them what the wine is like, because we don’t know their background or their tastes or their palate.� In other words, if you describe how a wine tastes to you and the customer’s palate doesn’t agree, you may end up with a disappointed patron. On day two — red wine day — Griesser is really in the groove, offering pithy sound bites along with the sips. As he pours a Sardinian “riserva� wine — one that was aged before release — he points out, “You can age crap longer and call it ‘riserva.’� This is no crap, though. The wine has an aroma of cedar and tastes like ripe berries. “Wines by the glass are supposed to have wide appeal,� Griesser says. “They should be great examples or benchmarks.� Understanding the benchLORI DELIA marks appears to be the key to coping with such a huge wine list. Being able to describe varietals, knowing the kinds of wines produced in the various regions of Italy, and always asking questions are the building blocks of a successful server. On day three, Lori walks us through the complicated world of dessert wines, and throws in a couple of spirits for good measure. As we swirl and sniff amber and orange liquids that taste of orange peel and hazelnuts, I keep in mind the lesson I learned the day before — if I understand how these wines are made and how those processes affect the flavor, I should be able to sell them to the customers. But, as I breathe in the aromas of red cherries and chocolate from a ruby-red glass of Bussola Recioto della Valpolicella, Lori drops a bomb. “Do you want to take the test?� “I don’t think I’ll pass,� I reply, blushing. Luckily, she lets me off the hook and instead hands me a copy of the quiz to look over. As I leaf through the pages, I’m relieved that I don’t have to prove myself. One question describes a three-course Italian dinner and asks, “What wine or wines would you recommend?� With more than 100 to choose from, that’s not so easy. But what does the test mean to those who are actually starting work at the Tratt? “If you don’t do well on the test, it means we haven’t done our job well,� Lori says. “It’s an indicator of how well we’ve trained the person and how seriously they take what we are going to do. We need a server who is intelligent, who can speak well in a professional manner and be informative. The only way you can succeed is empowering them.� I may not have enough knowledge to pass the Tratt’s test — for one thing, I haven’t read through the huge training binder Griesser makes up for each new staff member, and for another, I haven’t gone through the culinary portions of the training. But after three intensive wine sessions, I have no doubt that I’ll feel a lot more confident next time I place an order at an Italian restaurant. >

Tortilla Flub
Moonshine Jazz every Tuesday nighT 7-10PM
Last week Seven Days reported that Tortilla Flat had closed, but the doors are open again. Did the paper get misinformation from an employee? Bartender Michael Harr confirms that the restaurant was closed on a day when it normally wouldn’t have been, and that “closing indefinitely was discussed and discarded quickly.” The cause of the brief shutdown was, according to Harr, a “temporary staff shortage.” What’s going on at the local Tex-Mex watering hole? Construction on Riverside Avenue took a bite out of its business. Before it started, “the place did so well,” says manager Nancy Breiner. But “during the construction, nobody wanted to drive down Riverside — people were getting flat tires.” The restaurant closed for a while during the roadwork, but the project lasted much longer than expected, into the lucrative summer and fall. By the time the road was widened and the crews had gone home, it was already winter — the notorious post-holiday slow season. “We’re just a small, family restaurant,” says Breiner, and the owner is “trying to come back and keep his employees happy.” While the new pavement and additional lights on Riverside have improved traffic flow, the customer count is still lagging. “It’s sad that construction can do that,” says Breiner. For now, the restaurant will remain closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Call 864-4874 for more info, and don’t jump to conclusions if no one picks up. Tortilla doesn’t have an answering machine, and, if the owner is dealing with a take-out order, he might not hear the phone.
Viva Espresso offers biodegradable cups of fair-trade brew from Vermont Coffee Company. The snacks at the Old North End café are local, too. On a recent trip to Costco, co-owner Megan Munson-Warnken saw Philadelphia Cream Cheese on sale for $1.43 a pound. “At Viva, we pay six dollars for local cream cheese from the Champlain Valley Organic Creamery,” she explains. “Other cafés aren’t making these choices. There are organic coffee shops, but as far as a commitment to organic and local, we may be the only one in the country.” Now Munson-Warnken is making the leap from serving “coffee with conscience” to serving citizens conscientiously. She’s running as a Progressive for a Ward 1 Burlington City Council seat. “I’m hoping to get people to think local to solve global problems,” Munson-Warnken says, noting, “Opening Viva was a Megan Munson-Warnken response to global warming.” The café was also designed for parents looking for a place to hang out with their kids in tow. No local hangouts were really “accommodating and supportive” of children, Munson-Warnken pointed out. A desire to build community, as well as to be involved in choices that impact the local schools, are big motivators in Munson-Warnken’s decision to enter politics. And while 8-month-old Viva is doing good business, Munson-Warnken feels it’s time to get more involved. People come to Viva Espresso “partly because food is political and a purchase is a vote,” she says. On March 6, Munson-Warnken hopes those votes translate to the more tangible kind.

Chef Michel Mahe, who is also proprietor of Shelburne’s Bearded Frog, sends mashed potatoes and fries to the table with every meal. “It’s like a nice little dinner for two at home — with more people,” he suggests. But if you were at home, you might not be eating sexy lobster ravioli with tarragon beurre blanc, or a rack of lamb with rosemary demiglace. “A lot of people propose at the Black Sheep,” Mahe says. “So far nobody has ever said ‘no.’” Must be the food. Hemingway’s Restaurant (not rated) 4988 U.S. Route 4, Killington, 422-3886 $$$$ dinner, closed Monday & Tuesday 7 Nights says: “Owner Ted Fondulas is an award-winning chef. You can dine in the rustic wine cellar, under chandeliers in the elegant main room, or in a cozy back room with a fireplace. Multi-course and wine-tasting menus available.” Esquire magazine once called Hemingway’s one of the most romantic restaurants in America. Past years’ Valentine’s menus have featured such suggestive dishes as “a quail roasted in the moment of fertility with a truffle lavender sauce” and “carpaccio of salmon in a tangle of seaweed.” This year, look for a plate of all things chocolate “to be spoon-fed to your soul mate,” including hot chocolate scented with cardamom and ginger foam, and a little chocolate gift box containing a hazelnut mousse with brandied cherries. Between courses, couples will be offered palate-cleansing sips of a bitter concoction called “Unrequited Love,” Linda says, “to put you back into reality.” Ariel’s Restaurant HHHH 29 Stone Road, Brookfield, 276-3939 $$$$ dinner, closed Monday & Tuesday 7 Nights says: “Restaurateur Richard Fink and Chef Lee Duberman have been serving ‘sophisticated, healthy food’ at this destination restaurant for more than 30 years. The pub area is slightly more casual than the dining room.” A comment card confirms: “Fabulous food prepared to perfection with the most nearto-perfect mix of spice, space and
speech. A small New England village on a pond with a floating bridge . . . hosts a restaurant with a culinary acumen second to none.” Lots of people celebrate their anniversaries at Ariel’s, says Chef Lee Duberman. “We try to make things as romantic as possible.” For a V-day special, Duberman plans to pair vibrant pomegranate, “the food of love,” with seared duck breast. A sensual item that’s always on the menu — and Ariel’s most popular appetizer — is the crab cake in a Middle Eastern pastry crust with grapefruit vinaigrette. “It’s crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside,” says the chef.

Restaurant Phoebe HHHH 52 State Street, Montpelier, 262-3500 $$$ lunch, dinner 7 Nights says: “Formerly Conoscenti, this new eatery is named after Chef Aaron Millon’s sister. He describes the cuisine as ‘New American with Italian roots.’” Chef Millon tries to capture the “romantic Vermont” vibe with preparations that are “rustic and elegant at the same time.” Roasted duck breast with sweet potato gnocchi in a cherry port sauce, anyone? Root veggies with butter and maple syrup come on the side. This is a “quintessential Restaurant Phoebe dish,” Millon says. Another luxurious option: beef tartare with a butter-coddled quail egg. “Lots of couples sit at the bar and share the tartare,” Millon says. Sexy and unusual — what more could anyone want? >

7 Nights says: “This elegant, fine-dining restaurant has alpine roots. Swiss-trained chefowner Michael Kloeti runs the kitchen.” A comment card confirms: “If you want to go all out for a romantic dinner, Michael’s is the way to go.” Chef Kloeti thinks so, too. “Everything is romantic here,” he boasts. The proof? Even the comfort food, like mac and cheese, is full of sensual ingredients. His version features papardalle pasta with lobster, artichokes, spinach, Gruyere and black truffle. On the day itself, try special menu items such as oyster gratin with Pernod, garlic and herb butter, or feed your lover a piece of chocolate gateau with passion-fruit sauce.

Chef Jimmy Kalp’s menu changes weekly, so he hasn’t thought yet about V Day. But he suggests that oysters, champagne and caviar “get the blood flowing a little bit.” For an entrée, he recommends something “warming to the heart,” such as braised Glover rabbit with thyme, cob-smoked bacon and celeriac with its “clean, crisp flavor.” “It’s rich but not overly heavy,” he notes, so you could still finish up the meal with a sexy dessert such as a molten chocolate pot with Valentinered raspberry sauce, “and then go home and do whatever you’re going to do.”

promises “quintessential” Valentine’s ingredients, according to Jonny. Cayenne-and-lemon aioli on the crispy fried oysters will “get you sparked up for the evening,” he says. Champagne-basil cream sauce envelops a sauté of shrimp, scallops and lobster tail. Appropriately enough, Faith plans to bake the decadent chocolate cake for two in the shape of a heart.

Grammer’s songwriting partner Dave Carter died of a heart attack in 2002, her personal and professional life was thrown into turmoil. Three years later, she returned with Flower of Avalon, which featured heartfelt interpretations of some of Carter’s unreleased tunes. These days, Grammer is back on the road, performing alongside multi-instrumentalist Jim Henry. Her haunting fiddle playing and yearning vocals are as strong as ever; both can be heard on Seven Is the Number, an album begun shortly before Carter’s death and recently completed in his honor. Don’t miss Grammer this Saturday at the Valley Players Theater in Waitsfield.

It’s been pretty damn cold lately, but Higher Ground’s annual Valentine’s Dance Party should provide temporary relief from winter’s icy grip. This year’s event, which takes place on Friday, February 9, features the salsa sounds of Jesus Andujar & Orquesta Sazon, and is hosted by erstwhile Latin DJ Hector Cobeo. Orquesta Sazon are a Latin big band that combines traditional salsa rhythms with more contemporary sounds. The group takes its inspiration from the ever-evolving music of the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Puerto Rico. Expect highly danceable, horn-driven tunes with plenty of spice. DJ Hector will entertain in between sets. If you’re less than confident in your boogie skills, you can attend the salsa dance lesson that takes place at 8 p.m. Looking to really impress your date? Then you might want to take advantage of the special VIP offer, which includes reserved seating, private bar, a light fare menu and your own server. For more info, visit www.HigherGroundMusic.com.

ORQUESTA SAZON
AURAL ADVENTURERS A couple of interesting avant-garde shows are taking place in Burlington this week, and we once again have sound artist Greg Davis to thank. First up, a brand-new act called Sun Circle, which features Davis and his experimental music associate Zach Wallace. They’ll perform alongside The Wind-Up Bird at Green Door Studio, at 20 Howard St., this Saturday at 8 p.m. Admission is a mere $5. Davis describes Sun Circle as “ecstatic, high-volume drones, longform trance music and peace noise.” The duo creates its far-out sounds using bowed strings, organ, percussion, world music instruments and the human voice. Word on the street (or at least on local blogs) is that Davis, who typically employs a laptop in his sets, will perform sans computer. Now that’s pretty radical. The Wind-Up Bird is Providence, Rhode Island’s Joseph Grimm, whose electro-acoustic compositions are inspired by legendary avantgarde composers such as Terry Riley and Gyorgy Ligetti. Using software to manipulate organic tones, Grimm creates cascading waves of sound that seem to evolve of their own accord. On February 12, Davis and Tick Tick Productions bring celebrated avant-jazz ensemble Vandermark Five to the Firehouse Center. The band, led by composer-instrumentalist Ken Vandermark, represents the vanguard of modern jazz. Their music is incredibly varied, ranging from euphoric freeform to asymmetrical groove. But their music doesn’t sound overly academic; it’s full of adventure and no small amount of whimsy. The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. and costs $10. Call 540-0088 for more information.
As you might imagine, I get a lot of CDs sent my way, many from national acts that are coming through town. Not all of ’em are worth a damn, but you wouldn’t gather that from the accompanying press releases, which excel at the fine art of exaggeration. I recently received a package concerning singer-songwriter Piers Faccini, who opens for The Wood Brothers at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Sunday, February 11. Faccini’s bio — or “onesheet,” as we say in the biz — made a big deal about how his debut, Tearing Sky, was produced by the same dude who helped cultivate Ben Harper and Jack Johnson. Not being a fan of either artist, I wasn’t particularly taken by the pitch. Still, I gave the disc a spin. I was pleasantly surprised by what I heard. Faccini’s music is highly evocative and remarkably minimal. Best of all, it’s dark without being oppressive. There’s an ever-so-slight world-music influence, particularly in some of the rhythms. And although he rarely sings above a whisper, Faccini’s voice is rich and soulful, with a slight lilt that reminded me of Nick Drake. It’s a rare album that stays consistent from the first cut to the last, but this one did. Although the mood rarely deviates from the hauntingly introspective, every song demands your attention. Fans of Ray LaMontagne’s shadowy folk-pop will definitely find a lot to enjoy here. I know I did.
SMART-ALECK Up-and-coming stand-up guy Steve Hofstetter calls himself “the thinking man’s comic,” and has a DVD called Cure for the Cable Guy. I’m guessing it’s a dis of the hayseed funnyman and not some dude who works for Comcast. Hofstetter’s act isn’t as brilliant as he advertises — at least not the samples I’ve seen — but it’s still pretty solid. He’ll perform two sets at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Friday, February 9, alongside jokesters Denis VANDERMARK FIVE Donohue, Phil Mazo and Oliver Barkley. Here’s an example of one of Hofstetter’s zingers: “Irish people can hold their liquor — that’s a positive stereotype,” he says. “But they’re not the only ones. French people can hold liquor.

reviewthis GTD, BURNT UNDERGROUND RADIO
ANAÏS MITCHELL, THE BRIGHTNESS
(Projectivity, CD)
(Righteous Babe, CD)
Vermont-based folksinger Anaïs Mitchell may be signed to Ani Difranco’s Righteous Babe label, but don’t assume you’ve got her pegged. While both women have a knack for crafting finetuned confessionals, Mitchell eschews DiFranco’s overt political leanings and favors a more subtle approach on her latest, The Brightness. Actually, Mitchell has more in common with Americana luminaries such as Patti Griffin and Gillian Welch than with her label boss. To me, that’s hardly a bad thing. In addition to her songwriting faculties, Mitchell possesses a voice that’s childlike yet versatile, reminiscent of Julie Miller or even Joanna Newsom at her most tuneful. The Brightness’ zenith arrives early. In the final moments of opener “Your Fonder Heart,” Mitchell takes the lead in a poignant three-part harmony that rests on a blanket of acoustic guitar, banjo, saxophone and hand drum. It was arresting the first time I heard it, and several listens later, it still gives me goose bumps. Although the remainder of The Brightness doesn’t quite pack the emotional punch of its curtain raiser, there’s still plenty to love. “Changer” showcases Mitchell’s aptitude for carving out lines that are simultaneously simple and heartrending: “If I can’t keep it, at least let me call it by name / That was called falling / This is called pain,” she sings. And there’s enough variation to keep things interesting. The soothing interplay of the guitar and banjo on “Shenandoah” wouldn’t sound entirely out of place on indie hero Sufjan Stevens’ Seven Swans. “Namesake” could be an homage to Difranco, with Mitchell declaring, “I’ve worn out all of your records / I’ve torn out page after page / I’ve lain with the shadows you threw when you danced with the bright-colored lights of the stage.” Hammond organ and baritone sax buttress her words, exuding a spectral elegance not normally heard in acoustic ditties. Slight imperfections keep The Brightness from ranking alongside Welch’s Time (The Revelator) or Griffin’s Impossible Dream. Mitchell’s sentiments occasionally sound precious or contrived, and in her less inspired moments she falls back on genre clichés. But given The Brightness’ best bits, there’s every reason to believe that Mitchell has a magnum opus in her. DiFranco likely thinks so, or else she wouldn’t have signed her. Catch the promising young chanteuse at her CD release concert on Tuesday, February 13 at Higher Ground. JOSH LACLAIR

Burlington hip-hop duo/production company GTD (that’s Growth Till Death or Get That Doe, depending on their mood) are primed to become major players on the Green Mountain rap scene. Composed of MCs Burnt and Network, GTD is about to release Burnt Underground Radio, which features more than 20 head-nodding cuts. Guests include Dan Mansion, Ramiz, Scroll and Tekst — all movers on the urban music underground. Sorting through the track list is daunting, but the music is rock solid. Razor sharp rhymes, creative production and a fiercely independent spirit exist in equal measure on this, another fine Vermont rap record. The majority of the tracks find Burnt behind the mike, with mix assistance from the Loyalists’ Touchphonics. Following an intro featuring record scratching and repeated declarations of identity, the disc kicks off with the profanity-littered “Nobody’s Listenin’.” “Half man, half alien, staring off into oblivion / Nobody’s listenin’,” Burnt rhymes with barely-tempered fury. “Enlightenment” is built on off-kilter snare drops and a bed of hazy samples. Burnt’s flow is more subdued here, but that doesn’t mean it’s easygoing. “Been through too much shit / On these roads that I’m goin’ / Will it ever change, or am I goin’ down?” he asks bluntly. The shuddering bounce of “Special B” provides a great launch pad for Burnt’s confessions of angst and ambition. “All of my life I hoped to be more than just an MC / More than just a writer and an annoying little B,” he rhymes in the track’s opening stanza. Another line is particularly telling: “You could be sure whenever I enjoyed myself I was told to shut the fuck up / And sometimes I did / Sometimes I had to,” he raps. But Burnt also displays a hard-won positivism; he seems willing to embrace his future, whatever it may be. “Serve Chilled” is a sultry cut boasting slick guitar licks and a crusty, old-school beat. The raps are all over the place, moving from the scatological to the ecumenical within a single verse. Although every track on the album has something to recommend it, there’s almost too much to digest. In addition, it’s difficult to tell if the disc meant to be a single artistic statement, or more of an overview. Its creators have termed the release a “winter mixtape,” and I guess that’s as good a description as any. No matter what you call it, Burnt Underground Radio is further evidence of the strength of the local hip-hop scene. A release party takes place on Thursday, February 8 at Club Metronome, at which free copies of the disc will be given to attendees. Not a bad way to spread the love. CASEY REA

his favorite pastimes, which happen to be singing and drinking. The band’s self-styled “Celtic Jewgrass� sounds a bit like The Pogues at a bar mitzvah — equal parts instrumental exuberance and boozy bravado.

storm urges Hurricanes are a force of nature, as anyone living on the Gulf Coast knows. Louisiana native Anne Galjour wrote her one-woman Hurricane in the early 1990s, well before Katrina devastated New Orleans and neighboring coastal parishes. But, given that gale-force winds regularly threaten the same communities, the oral-history-based show remains apropos. In it, three Cajun couples living at the edge of a bayou batten down for one heckuva storm while also weathering their fears of fierce alligators and shady oil speculators. Galjour makes rapid-fire switches of role and gender to portray a cross-section of the charismatic snake-eating, piroguepoling neighbors from her youth. As a tie-in, she conducts a Thursday storygathering circle for a future play about class divisions in northern Vermont and New Hampshire. ‘Hurricane’

scene@ �POWER ANIMAL PARTY�
LANGDON STREET CAFÉ, MONTPELIER, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 7 P.M.
It was about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night in the front alcove of the Langdon Street CafĂŠ, and “The Crowâ€? was reclining on the couch, her orange crow’s feet propped on a cushion, a yellow lightning bolt emblazoned across her chest. “The Crow,â€? a.k.a. Trish Denton, was the organizer of the evening’s festivities — a cage match, if you will, pitting people’s “power animalsâ€? against one another. Denton, who studies “animal symbolism and Jungian psychologyâ€? at Goddard College — now there’s a major that leaps off a resumĂŠ — is also an artist who created a Tarot-like deck of cards for reading people’s auras via their animal totems. “We were going to have an all-out wrestling match,â€? she explained sheepishly, pointing to some gym mats in the corner. “Then we realized there might be liability issues.â€? Indeed. While the crow waited for a critical mass of fellow animalists to gather at this popular Montpelier watering hole, I struck up a conversation with “John.â€? He wasn’t in costume but clearly had been drinking like a fish all night. In a drunken confession, he blurted something about heading into alcohol rehab the next morning and getting in his “last licks.â€? In keeping with the evening’s zoological theme, I asked about his personal power animal. “The wolf and the deer,â€? he said. I could suddenly appreciate the reasons behind his self-destructive behavior. Just then, a tiger entered the room, accompanied by a pint-sized hummingbird, a.k.a. 6-year-old Siiri. She was wearing a rainbow sweater, glittery ruby slippers and sheer wings. The blonde little bird hopped onto a bar stool to watch as “The Crowâ€? squared off on the mats with the “Wind-Up Monkey.â€? He was sporting a red vest, cymbals, a Turkish fez and a winding stem. As simian and fowl danced around one another, each trying to grab the other’s flag, I chatted with “The Tiger,â€? a.k.a. Bethany Pombar, whom I knew through work but didn’t recognize in her orange-and-black Tony-the-Tiger garb. I asked when she would be heading into the ring. “Next,â€? she said, “as soon as the water buffalo is done doing the dishes.â€? KEN PICARD PHOTO: PETE TALBOT

FILLET OF SOUL Ray Charles and James Brown no longer do earthly gigs, but their musical influence lives on in the genre they helped popularize. The Holmes Brothers have been bringing gospel- and funk-inflected soul to audiences worldwide since 1979, and they show no signs of stopping. The recording vets have worked with artists from Peter Gabriel and Van Morrison to Willie Nelson and Odetta. Their signature sound blends sanctified spiritual music with pure pop and low-down roadhouse blues, using sophisticated yet earthy harmonies. Drummer Popsy Dixon joins Sherman and Wendell Holmes on bass and guitar, respectively, though each member is really a multi-instrumentalist. Catch the trio of Virginia natives at a concert of American roots music that reaches into churches and juke joints alike. The holmes BroThers

COOL RUNNINGS Burlington’s Winter Fest recently got frozen out of the city budget, and the popular annual party seemed slated to end after 12 years. But members of a student-run consulting firm at UVM stepped in to save the day, coordinating sponsorships and volunteers so that area residents can keep their cool. There’s one major difference: Don’t look in Waterfront Park for snow sculptures this year. Instead, teams shape piles of ice shavings on Church Street in a nationally certified competition, while a pro carver from Maine transforms blocks of solid ice into shimmering figures. Hardy morningfun seekers can head lakeward to sample family-oriented events at ECHO, or shiver in solidarity with scores of participants in the Penguin Plunge, a total-immersion fundraiser for Special Olympics Vermont.

Dear Mistress Maeve, My partner has a weird sexual kink — he can’t reach orgasm without being smothered by skin. At first he was content sticking his face into my ample bosom as he shot his wad, but the thrill died down after a week or so (not to mention the boob rash I got from his stubbly chin). Now he insists that I gain 100 lbs and lose it as quickly as possible so that I will have layer upon layer of ripply loose skin for him to wrap himself in like a warm, fleshy blanket. I truly think he is “The One” and am willing to do it, but I’m worried that I will gain and lose the 100 lbs very quickly and be left with firm elastic skin. Do you think I should

just invite a former fatty into our bed for a threesome? I appreciate an urgent response as I am already having a hard time, no matter how much junk I eat, I just can’t seem to put on weight! Sincerely, Ophelia Mancok, Beaverville Dear OMB, For your sake, I hope this letter is not real. Although it’s entertaining, it’s also offensive and shortsighted. Purposely putting your body through such trauma would likely outrage women who struggle with weight loss, then have to struggle with the loose skin aftermath. But as outrageous as your letter is, the fetish you describe is no joke — plenty of people like to be smothered by their partners’ flesh as foreplay or during sex. Whether it’s being completely enveloped by their partners or the lack of oxygen — smother fetishists say that they experience stronger, more intense orgasms when their partners smother them with various body parts. When a smother fetishist is also a macrophiliac (having a strong sexual attraction to larger people), he or she is more likely to also be interested in trample fantasies — where the heavy partner will stand or walk on the submissive partner. On the off chance that you really are stuffing your face with chocolate and chips, I must advise you to take an immediate break from this relationship. While smother fantasies are somewhat common, insisting that your partner endanger his or her health is not. You deserve better: someone who will love and desire you for who you are now, not who you’ll be once you’ve gained and lost weight. And one more piece of advice for my fellow smother-lovers — partake in this activity only after any bearded partners have performed a clean, close shave. Ouch!
Smothering kisses,
MM
