CINDY MCKINSTRIE Owner-The Busy Chef ‘How to Brand your Product’ • UVM Continuing Education Class UVM’s Vermont Business Center
‘How to Brand your Product’ was Cindy’s first UVM CE class. After discovering an idea that would fill a much needed niche in the culinary industry, she was almost ready to open her restaurant. Networking with local small business owners and getting an objective look at her new enterprise was just what she needed before opening the doors to the public. “The class ran on two Fridays, and because I worked at night, the full day schedule was perfect.” The course enabled Cindy to define her business and to clarify her message through the redesign of her logo. “The feedback was incredible!”
“
The two-day course was perfect for my busy schedule.

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE Thank the gods for Peter Kurth’s columns [“Crank Call”] and his recent, hilarious and wise article on getting published [“Pass the Word,” December 21]. Better yet, thank Peter Kurth. Such fierce and funny darkness! It can only be called . . . faith. It takes a lot of faith that things can get better to be that angry, with so much daggerly style, for so long . . . But we’d better not let on. Mr. Kurth has been re-charging my battery for years.

again in poverty . . . All refugees need friends from this culture to help them track medical appointments, buy food, deal with bank accounts, get a driver’s license and a better job, deal with and understand school, and make and keep appointments. And for each family that is dissatisfied with the help they receive, there are many more who have made real friendships with volunteers, tutors and neighbors, whose children are thriving . . . This business of going from refugee to citizen isn’t easy. There will be many bumps along the way, many misunderstandings, frustrations and annoyances. But it is also an amazing, rich process, full of growth and possibilities for volunteers as well as new folks. The best way to help it go better for everyone is to get involved, and quit blaming VRRP for all the problems. However difficult this integration is for everyone, it is nothing compared to what our refugees have suffered before they got here.

SALINE SOLUTIONS It was good to see an article finally mention the environmental impacts of road salt [“Local Matters,” December 14]. Given that our landscape is littered with roads, I’m not surprised that over 100,000 tons of salt is needed in Vermont per year to maintain our safety. Unfortunately, with a landscape of roads, highways and bridges comes the dilemma of run-off pollution. This means that whenever it rains, or snow melts, the salt gets washed into our rivers, streams and lakes along with engine oil, antifreeze and other hazardous deposits. There are no easy solutions to run-off pollution, but I would say it’s in our best interest to make do with the roads we have. The more roads we build, the more salt we will need to use, and the effects of these chemical de-icers on our water quality are bound to catch up with us. I can only hope that if we are going to build more roads that an environmentally friendly and economically feasible alternative to the current selection of harmful salts is found sometime soon. In the meantime, we must keep the roads we have safe, but we should also do everything we can to manage the amount of salt that is spread near ecologically sensitive areas. The future of our water quality is dependent upon it.

KEEPING TRACK Mr. Freyne: Well, it is the end of the year, which means it is time to send you my annual thank you to show my appreciation for you and your writings [“Inside Track”]. Having been deployed to Kuwait with Task Force Green Mountain for almost all of 2005, I found myself clinging to anything and everything that would remind me of home. I have to say that your weekly article was a godsend. Here I was 8000 miles away and still able to keep up with the local goings-on (yes, I know of burlingtonfreepress.com, but they can’t hold a candle to my favorite little weekly). So, Mr. Freyne, thank
you so much for your column, and keep up the good work.

‘MAN PHONE’ OVERBOARD Ken Picard’s article [“Local Matters,” December 21] was fair, thorough and important. The fact that Health Commissioner Dr. Paul Jarris pulled the plug on Planned Parenthood’s website entitled “The Man Phone” after discovering direct links to adult pornography sent the right signal to those entrusted with taxpayer dollars and, most importantly, the health and welfare of young teens.
night stand” or in a more committed relationship. Beyond the inappropriateness of the site and the link to adult pornography, PPNNE was arguably in violation of the federal guidelines when they decided to add a link to The Man Phone from their website designed for teens. Vermont Right to Life will object when promotion of irresponsible sexual behavior could lead to unintended pregnancies, especially among those at high risk for abortion. Websites have been developed in other states to address the serious health risks for sexually active men in a manner that would not be objectionable to this organization. It is long past time for the state to shine some light on PPNNE’s activities and goals.
The federal funds were made available for the purpose of reaching sexually active men between the ages of 18 and 24 with targeted messages about sexual health and responsibility. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England (PPNNE) applied for and received an annual grant of $125,000 and used some of the money to create The Man Phone — a raunchy website complete with pulsating pictures, suggestive overtones and messages that included advising men about being “good lovers.” For example, the “Stud or Dud” tab was designed to help improve your sexual prowess whether you were having a “one-

MORE SCIENCE I am writing in response to Ryan Abernathey’s letter scolding Casey Rea’s article on the band Vorcza [December 28]. Mr. Abernathey points out that Mr. Rea mistakenly refers to a “quark molecule,” which does not exist. While attempting to correct this notion, Mr. Abernathy himself errs. While I understand the motivation for correcting an elementary
1x2-yogavt092805
NXek Dfi\6

1x4-7road 5/26/05 YOGA VERMONT
error, I do not think the schoolmarmish tone of the letter was helpful. As we have seen in the recent debates regarding evolution and “intelligent design,” the level of scientific understanding in America could stand to be brought up a couple of pegs. However, Mr. Abernathey’s statement that quarks are something “most readers learned about in middle-school science class” serves only as an insult and does nothing to advance any understanding. An attitude of contempt does not further the understanding of physics and contributes to the false perception that those who are involved in the sciences are looking down on the unwashed with disdain from an Ivory Tower. Mr. Abernathey’s letter contains a second error. He describes quarks as the building blocks of protons, electrons and neutrons. This is incorrect. While protons and neutrons are indeed composed of quarks, electrons are themselves elementary particles and belong to the class of fundamental particles called leptons. I will let Mr. Abernathey have the final word by quoting the closer of his letter: “When an author namedrops the most advanced scientific theories of our time, his only hope at avoiding arrogance and pretension is to get his facts right.”

BURLINGTON — If you’re a tenant in trouble, where do you turn? Since 1984, renters in Vermont with questions about security deposit disputes, code enforcement issues or eviction notices have been able to turn to Vermont Tenants, Inc., for advice. But that door is currently closed. Since mid-November, visitors to the agency’s office on North Winooski Avenue have been greeted by an unwelcoming paper sign. “Attention tenants,� it reads, “Due to major cuts in federal funding for our program, Vermont Tenants, Inc. will no longer be able to assist tenants in person or by phone until and unless funding is restored.� VTI is the only agency of its kind in the state. In the last fiscal year, the program, sponsored by the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, distributed 30,000 copies of its essential “Renting in Vermont Handbook� and counseled members of nearly 1200 Vermont households. Ted Wimpey, CVOEO’s director of Statewide Housing Resources, says VTI is an extremely popular program. He notes that when someone calls its renters’ hotline,
the phone doesn’t even ring; the calls go directly to voicemail. “Otherwise,� he says, “you’d never get anything done. Some days as many as 30 calls come in. Wimpey explains that federal funding for VTI dried up last fall, when lawmakers in Washington failed to appropriate enough money for the Community Block Grant Development Program. Wimpey was forced to lay off one of the two VTI program advocates in September; he let the other go in November. The U.S. Senate did restore funding for the CDBG program to ’05 levels in the final days of December. As a result, Wimpey says, VTI should be able to hire and train a new advocate in about two months. But he adds that VTI is still in jeopardy. The CDBG funding only runs through fiscal year ’06, which ends in September, Wimpey notes. When Congress revisits the budget in nine months, he says, “We could be in the same precarious position.� This instability at VTI is bad news, and not just for tenants. Burlington landlord Stu McGowan calls last fall’s defunding of VTI “a tragedy.� McGowan owns approximately 40 apartments,
many of them classified as lowincome housing and located in the city’s Old North End. He says he often relies on the VTI handbook, and has referred tenants to the agency in the past. “They’re very helpful,� he says. “They’re a resource for me as well.� Marjorie Stinchcombe, staff attorney for Vermont Legal Aid, says VTI is important to her organization, too. The agency is the only source for basic tenants’ rights information, and is able to help tenants judge whether they should pursue legal action. “They really play an important role in educating people,� Stinchcombe says. CVOEO Executive Director Tim Searles blames the Bush administration for VTI’s recent troubles. He claims the administration is trying to defund secular social services. “They’re eliminating the anti-poverty safety net that’s been in place for 40 years,� he charges. “This has never happened before.� Searles points out that the CDBG funding doesn’t only affect VTI — last fall’s funding cuts CVOEO’s entire endangered Community Action network.

BURLINGTON — The soy sauce bottles may finally be cleared off the tables at the Panda Inn. On January 3, Pomerleau Real Estate delivered architectural drawings and a building proposal for the Shelburne Road property to Burlington’s Planning and Zoning Department. The plans show an 11,500-square-foot Kinney Drugstore on the site. The Design Advisory Board will discuss the proposal at its meeting on January 17 at 3 p.m. Ernie Pomerleau, president of Pomerleau Real Estate, which is representing Kinney, says the company would like to demolish the building and begin construction this summer. The Panda Inn building has been vacant since Davis Chan murdered his business partners there in 1999. Kinney Drugs bought the site last summer. The Delaware-based company had optioned the land to build a drugstore two years ago, but the deal fell through after neighborhood opposition. Kinney learned from that process, Pomerleau says. “We’ve really taken seriously the comments.� He notes that the new plans, for example, make the

The architects have also cut back on parking, added brick columns in the front, and changed the color scheme and window treatments to fit the streetscape. Pomerleau calls it “a more urban design.� He stresses that it’s important the building be inviting not just to commuters but to neighbors and passersby. That corner has long been a community gathering place, Pomerleau says. Many Burlingtonians still remember it as the old Howard Johnson’s. Pomerleau certainly does. He was involved in an altercation there as a teenager. “I was trying to protect a fellow member of Rice High School,� he explains, “and somehow I got thrown through a plate-glass window.�

Kathy Sweeten, who lives near the site on Prospect Parkway, opposed the project the first time around. She says the developers have been good about following up with neighborhood concerns, but she worries that they haven’t addressed the main one — a proposed driveway that would steer traffic from the drugstore parking lot onto her street. The new plans still show an entrance from Prospect Parkway. Sweeten says she plans to attend the DAB meeting on the new proposal. “I do think we need a drugstore in that space,� she says. “But not with an entrance on Prospect Parkway.� m

A VIEW OF THE CREEKSIDE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN HINEBURG.
HINESBURG — Town planners expected maybe 20 or 30 folks would show up for last week’s public forum to discuss a proposed village plan. They got more than 140 people, who lined the walls and spilled into the hallway the town hall. One local resident who couldn’t get a seat grumbled, “They offer food and everybody shows up.” But it wasn’t the free brownies and cheesecake that attracted a standing-room-only crowd to the
Alex Weinhagen Planner explained, in June the Hinesburg Selectboard adopted a new town plan, or “vision document,” that lays out in broad strokes what the town should look like in the next decade. On November 4, the Planning Commission held a halfday “design charrette” where a few dozen experts in planning, architecture, engineering, water quality and resource management brainstormed ideas about the kinds of development best
Residents want their town to be more than just a bedroom community or a strip. two-hour public forum. At issue was the very identity of Hinesburg in the coming decade. To wit: Will this town that is less than half an hour south of Burlington follow the lead of Williston and South Burlington, and build car-dependent strip malls and sprawling subdivisions? Or will it look more like Bristol and Vergennes, with a compact village center, pedestrian-friendly streets, a village green and unique historic appeal? Hinesburg is only the latest Vermont town to begin planning for growth into the 21st century. Overwhelmingly, the residents at last week’s forum said that as their town grows, they want it to be more than just a bedroom community for Burlington or a strip for drivers passing through on Route 116. The question now is how to realize their vision. That process has already begun. As Hinesburg Town
suited for this small, rural community. Those experts included Robert White, of ORW Landscape Architects and Planners of Norwich, who was hired to help Hinesburg through the process. The town faces a number of challenges that are endemic to many other small Vermont communities, White explained at the public meeting. Public school enrollment is decreasing. The town’s wastewater treatment facility is at or nearing capacity. There is no public transportation to speak of. Much of Hinesburg’s open space is swamp or wetlands and therefore off-limits to new construction. And the north edge of the village is already showing signs of, as White called it, “strip-mallitis.” The purpose of this meeting was to summarize the results of the design charrette and to seek feedback from the public, with particular emphasis on how they

Double Edge Theatre think the village center should grow. “This is a tool for you,” White told the crowd. “Not for us. You.” Weinhagen echoed that sentiment. “As most of you know, the municipality of Hinesburg does not control development. Landowners control development,” he explained. “What the town controls — what you control as a community — are the rules of the game.” Among the desiderata that emerged: a more walkable downtown, a broader range of housing options, more mixed-use development, on-street parking and tree-lined neighborhoods. Several residents expressed the need to slow traffic on Route 116, both to make the town safer to cyclists and pedestrians and to create a more inviting place for visitors to stop and shop. “For many of us who live and work here every day, it feels like a dangerous place,” said George Dameron. He chairs Hinesburg’s Village Steering Committee, an advisory group created in June to improve quality of life in the town center. A new village plan should emphasize walkability, safety and connectivity, Dameron added, and maintain the town’s historic structures. Other residents asked about the likelihood of the state constructing a “western bypass” to reduce vehicular traffic through the village. White’s assessment was blunt: “Unless you’re willing to fork over a couple of million of your own money, it’s not going to happen.” The Hinesburg Planning Commission expects to have a final report in hand this spring. m

“Leunigs—a haven in a world gone mad”
AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
—Bill and Maureen Gilbert
Crucifying Cashman
I
t’s the hot Vermont story of the day, and Monday night it went national on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” Teasing viewers at the top of the program, Bill O’Reilly flashed a picture of veteran Vermont District Court Judge Edward Cashman. The bombastic rightwing cheerleader told viewers, “You may be looking at the worst judge in the USA. He gave a child rapist 60 days in prison. We’ll confront him!” Appearing live on “The O’Reilly Factor” via satellite was freshman Republican State Senator Wendy Wilton of Rutland. “The reaction from Vermonters is outrage,” said Wilton. “People are just horrified about this. People think that Judge Cashman has basically flipped his lid.” Asked by O’Reilly if “impeachment” was deserved, the longtime choir girl at Rutland’s Immaculate Heart of Mary Church replied, “This guy has to go!” Indeed, press reports about last Wednesday’s sentencing of Mark Hulett, 34, of Williston, has sent shock waves through the community. A Fox News crew interviewing passersby on the Church Street Marketplace Monday had no trouble getting public reaction. “I’m not gonna want to walk down this street with my child,” said one unidentified expectant mother, “knowing that a rapist is out. I mean, I don’t want that around my kid.” Nothing like a sex crime, especially one involving a child, to get such a visceral, emotional reaction across the board. Were it constitutional, a popular vote supporting castration or boiling in oil would pass easily this week. In fact, hanging Judge Cashman appears to be on almost everyone’s to-do list. But the problem with public executions fueled by the mob is that too often the wrong person gets executed. That’s because the facts are not allowed to get in the way, and that’s exactly what’s happened here. “I understand the public’s concern,” said Hulett’s attorney Mark Kaplan. The veteran lawyer and former president of Burlington’s board of alderman way back when told “Inside Track” he was “not surprised by the reaction. It’s really not an informed reaction. In part, that’s the fault of the press.” Ouch! “I just don’t think that the media has accurately portrayed what Judge Cashman did in the sentencing and what his concerns were,” said Kaplan. “They sort of cherrypicked a few of his quotes and took them out of context.” Now take a deep breath, folks, because Kaplan’s got it right. In fact, none of the Republican lawmakers who joined Sen. Wilton’s Statehouse press conference Friday appeared to know anything about the facts in the case or Cashman’s record, despite his 25 years as a Vermont black robe. For example, the GOP legislative critics had no idea that Cashman is, like them, also a Republican! He was appointed to the bench by Republican Gov. Richard Snelling. Prior to that, “Cash” was a lawand-order prosecutor in Grande Isle County, an assistant attorney general and a Public Service Board commissioner. Fox News may be portraying Judge
Cashman as some kind of super-liberal “Vermont tree-hugger,” but the fact is, he’s got a well-earned reputation for tough sentencing. Just last month the Vermont Supreme Court overturned a life sentence he gave to a convicted murderer. What Cashman’s sentence actually did was ensure that Hulett will never again be able to live in the community unless he participates in sex-offender treatment. To get him into treatment, Cashman had no choice, under corrections department rules, but to give him 60 days to serve on the low end. Since the department has classified him as low-risk, Hulett is only eligible for counseling on the outside. In fact, what Wendy Wilton and the bloodthirsty mob don’t realize is that almost all Vermont criminals get out of jail at some point. And unless Sen. Wilton and her supporters pass legislation appropriating hundreds of millions of dollars for new Vermont prisons, offenders will continue to be released. In his order upholding Hulett’s sentence, Cashman laid out in detail the actual facts in the case and the only options before him — items overlooked so far in press accounts. In cases such as Hulett’s, wrote Cashman, the court is presented with a “sentencing dilemma.” It’s a choice “between two less-than-ideal options. One option enhances the long-term risk to public safety, due to the future release of a hardened, untreated sex offender. This person would endanger our children and grandchildren. In order to avoid that risk, the other option would be to impose a low-minimum on a lengthy incarcerate sentence.” The fact is, Cashman sentenced Hulett to up to 10 years on the first count, three years to life on the second count and two to five years on the third count. He will be on probation and under state supervision until the day he dies! If he screws up or refuses treatment, he’ll be behind bars for a long, long time. Hulett’s release conditions prohibit him from any alcohol or drug use, or even living in an apartment complex that has children. He cannot have friends who have kids, go to a bar or possess or view pornography, among other restrictions. One violation would put him back in the slammer. Calling this “a 60-day sentence for raping a child,” as O’Reilly and Wilton have done, is a gross distortion of what happened. In his Tuesday decision upholding his sentence, Cashman also addressed the public furor he’s ignited, mostly due to the passion of folks who don’t want to know all the facts in the case. When asked how many convicted sex offenders were already living in communities across Vermont, Sen. Wilton replied “about 1100.” But according to Sheri Englert, coordinator of Vermont’s sex-offender registry, there are at present 2352 registered sex offenders in the state. Oopsie! Wilton and her supporters want a 25year minimum prison sentence for sex offenders like Hulett. If adopted, such a law would drain the state’s financial resources by requiring new prison construc-

tion for hundreds of new longterm inmates. The court system would need more prosecutors, judges and defense attorneys to represent defendants who could no longer plea bargain. Every case would go to trial. This week, state’s attorneys across Vermont are quite concerned, since resources are already strapped. The calls for Cashman’s crucifixion will continue, fueled by Fox News and others who refuse to let the facts get in the way. So be it. Judge Cashman has actually displayed the type of courage that has long been his trademark. He’s always been willing to take the heat for doing what he thinks is right to protect the public. The message he’s sending is that the corrections department, currently run by a Douglas appointee (a former Burlington banker with no experience in the field), needs to get its act together when it comes to providing treatment for sex offenders, because at some point in time, all of them will end up back in the community. As Cashman noted, state law requires the department to “render treatment to offenders with the goal of achieving their successful return and participation as citizens of the state.� All the judge did was follow the law. As former Vermont Chief Justice Jeff Amestoy — also a former Republican attorney general — once wrote, “There must be judicial accountability. But it must begin with an accountability to conscience. Judicial independence is a value easy to honor in the abstract, but more difficult to applaud when one disagrees with a decision. But, of course, it is then that it most needs to be sustained.� Amen. Campaign Matters — Vermont’s senior senator, Patrick J. Leahy, is in the thick of it this week with the Alito hearings. We caught a glimpse of him Tuesday morning asking the Bush Supreme Court nominee what possible legal justification there could be for the White House spying on Vermont Quakers who oppose the president’s disastrous war in Iraq. St. Patrick suggested that if the White House wants to spy on Vermonters who criticize its Iraq policy, “all they have to do is turn on C-SPAN,� said Leahy. “I do it all the time.� Meanwhile, the favorite to become St. Patrick’s seat mate next year, Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, was busy Saturday escorting Wisconsin’s progressive U.S. Senator — and likely presidential candidate — Russ Feingold around Vermont. They appeared at several Democratic Party-organized fundraisers and a big public rally in Brattleboro, where Bernie’s designated replacement, Peter Welch, got a good heckling from antinuke critics. At a morning presser in Burlington, Sen. Feingold sang Bernie’s praises. “This is one of the few people in this country that I honestly believe can help change the face of America,� said Feingold. “He’s not only ready to be in the Senate, I think he’s ready to be
one of the instant leaders in the Senate.� And this week Ol’ Bernardo got it all off his chest, telling the Associated Press he’s firmly behind Peter Welcher’s, sorry, Welch’s, congressional candidacy and has privately urged Progressive State Rep. David Zuckerman to abandon thoughts of entering that race. Sanders, godfather of Vermont’s Progressive Party but never an official member, says Dave the Prog would just be a “spoiler� and get Republican Martha Rainville elected in November. On Sunday evening, the Burlington Progressive Party caucus unanimously chose State Rep. Bob Kiss as its horse in the mayor’s race. Last Thursday, Democrats narrowly backed Hinda “Jogbra� Miller over Councilor Andy Montroll. Republicans are fielding Councilor Kevin Curley. Monday afternoon, we bumped into Bernie on Burlington’s Church Street. Mr. Sanders told “Inside Track� he will not be making an endorsement in his hometown’s upcoming mayor’s race. “There are two good people in the race,� said Sanders. “Kevin Curley and who else?� we asked. “Huh, huh, huh!� replied Bernie — he even laughs with a Brooklyn accent! — as he turned and headed back to his office. Sometimes a good laugh says it all, eh? The early betting line has Hinda on top, with Curley second and Kiss pulling up the rear. But hold all bets, folks, because this baby looks headed for extra innings, i.e., Instant Run-off Voting. The Kiss candidacy has squelched Lady Jogbra’s plans for an easy win over Squirrelly Curley. Getting more than 50 percent on the “first choice� ballot count looks unreachable now. Mayor Peter Clavelle, the Prog-turned-Democrat — a political transformation that has hastened the end of his political career — told us this week he is sticking with Hinda, despite the last-minute Kiss entry. Tarrant Sighting — Bernie’s Republican U.S. Senate opponent, Rich Tarrant, was in the audience at Monday’s Lake Champlain Chamber breakfast. Tarrant worked the room with a campaign aide glued to his elbow. The chap indicated he’d worked previous races in Virginia and Michigan. Nothing but the best for the IDX gazillionaireturned-politician. Richie, unfortunately, was in no mood for an interview. And no press conferences are scheduled, he said. We get the feeling this will be one carefully controlled campaign — the “best� that money can buy. And, oh, yes, Richie’s website is finally up and running at www.tarrant06.com. Media Notes — According to reliable sources, the largest daily newspaper in Vermont, the Gannett chain’s Burlington Free Press, is planning to shut down its capital bureau after the legislative session. Word is, the lease runs out at the end of May. The Montpelier bureau is
located on State Street across from the Capitol Plaza Hotel, a two-minute walk from the Statehouse. Weird. Also this week, the Freeps began a new column on the local news page by Ed Shamy, filling the “void� left when Sam Hemingway’s column ended a few months back. Mr. Shamy has been at the paper for a few years as an inside editor. But he’s a fresh face on the local news scene, and we wish him success in his endeavor.

The Douglas Vision! — Speaking of Ch. 3, Gov. Jim Douglas was the featured guest on Sunday morning’s broadcast of “You Can Quote Me.� Parsons was joined by Reporter Kristin Carlson, who clearly had eaten her Wheaties that morning. No softballs. The most insightful moment occurred when Carlson asked Gov. Douglas, “When you look ahead to the end of the session, what has to pass and what will you deem a failure if it doesn’t pass?� Good question. Every leader has to have targets, goals, a picture in his mind of where he/she wants to take us, right? Not our governor. “Well, I’ve always been careful not to answer questions like that,� replied Gov. Douglas, “because I don’t want to set a mark that may or may not be achieved.� What? Some may wonder how Vermont could have a leader who staunchly refuses to tell Vermonters exactly where he’s leading them. Others may point out that Jimbo’s refusal to set goals merely reflects the priceless wisdom gained over his four decades as a successful politician. After all, a governor without any goals can never be accused of failing to meet them. Bravo, James! Let’s dub it “Gov. Scissorhands’ Teflon Strategy.� And so far, folks, it’s working. m

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ CIA to Monitor New Year’s Resolutions In what some are calling a troubling expansion of the controversial practice of domestic spying, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) announced today that it would begin monitoring the New Year’s resolutions of ordinary American citizens. CIA director Porter Goss said that a high-tech central monitoring station had already been established at the agency’s headquarters in Langley, Va., to eavesdrop on what he expects to be between two to three hundred million New Year’s resolutions in the days ahead. Mr. Goss defended the agency’s decision to listen in on Americans’ personal vows for the new year as “an important new tactic in the war on terror.� “Many Americans believe that their New Year’s resolutions are their own business,� Mr. Goss said. “But like many things Americans believe, they are wrong.� “There is a fine line between a resolution, a promise, and a threat,� he added. The CIA director said that if Americans make innocent resolutions, like cutting back on cigarettes or alcohol, they have nothing to fear, but if their resolutions are more sinister than that, the agency “has the right to know.� “If your New Year’s resolution is something along the lines of, ‘I promise to spend less time watching TV and more time on jihad,’ that’s a piece of information that could be very helpful to us,� he said. At the White House, President Bush told reporters that he intended to lose 220 pounds in 2006, a remark that was widely interpreted as referring to top advisor Karl Rove. Elsewhere, the medical community reacted with skepticism to the news that a dog had successfully cloned a South Korean scientist. >

What’s “New?”
S
o, it’s a new year. In fact, by the time you read this, it’ll have been a new year for almost a fortnight. I had to look up the word “fortnight” to remember precisely how many days it contains. I’d thought it was 14, but I was only half right: A fortnight is two weeks long, but it’s 14 nights, not days, that define it. When I first ran the query through an online dictionary, I was told: “No entry found for fortnight.” “Did you mean forthright?” the computer asked. “Did you mean first night?” Plainly, there had been a mistake. I emphatically did not mean “first night,” which I avoid assiduously along with all New Year’s celebrations. Personally, I can’t think of a bigger set-up than a “new year.” We’re the ones who give
Already, I’m afraid, 2006 is looking a little tattered around the edges. them numbers, after all — they don’t do it by themselves. Neither does a “year” necessarily begin in January, unless someone decides it does. In which case, they aren’t Chinese, or Jewish, or many other things. But I promised an “upbeat” column this week, and I’m trying to greet this new year, Anno Domini 2006, in a spirit of hope. Is there an entry for that? When I looked up “hope” online I saw it defined, first, as, “Hope, Bob (19032003), British-born American entertainer.” Only when I scrolled farther down did “hope” become a verb — “To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment” — and then a noun, “A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment.” Right — it’s that “confident” part. Already, I’m afraid, 2006 is looking a little tattered around the edges. It’s not good to start out with a tragic mining disaster, huge corruption scandals in Congress, the Constitution effectively shredded by unlawful wiretapping, mailopening, spying and “eavesdropping,” 136 deaths in Iraq in a single day last Thursday (by official count); and a booming crisis over drug benefits for the recipients of Medicare — those desperate hordes known collectively as “the elderly, the poor and the disabled.” “There’s almost nothing that isn’t going wrong,” sighs Jeanne Finberg, an attorney for the National Senior Citizens Law Center in Oakland, California. Finberg was quoted last week by the Associated Press and many others in the media, who found in her words a way to express, sound-bite style, what every health-care worker in America now has to endure. Finberg’s office, along with every pharmacy in the nation, has been

“overwhelmed” since January 1 with calls of complaint and distress from people who can’t get their medications. Everywhere, the states and localities have had to step in to make sure these people don’t die of neglect. Worse, that they don’t die from a brutal, systematic, federally mandated effort to deprive them of the fundamental decencies our society can provide. And which it could easily afford if it weren’t bombing Iraq, plotting the demise of Iran, handing out record profits to the oil industry, and cutting taxes for the rich. “While the extent of the problem is unclear,” says the AP, “health experts say the situation is dangerous because those patients who get Medicare and Medicaid benefits have higher rates of chronic illness, disability, cognitive impairments and other health needs. Their lives and livelihoods depend on their medicine.” Really? Do you think so? “People are crying,” says Finberg. “They’re calling their legislator’s office in tears.” As a columnist, I think they should have done that sooner, when the disgusting provisions of Medicare “reform” — a bald, shame-faced hand-out to the insurance and pharmaceutical giants — were first thrust down the throats of a bewildered population. As a person, however — and especially as a person who struggles with chronic illness — I’m part of that same population. I’m on their side. “That same population” should have screamed to high heaven last year, when Congress, bought and paid for by “K Street” lobbyists, eliminated bankruptcy relief for everyone but the very poor (who can’t get credit to start with) and corporations (which can). In the land of the free, a corporation enjoys exactly the same legal status as a citizen, by Supreme Court decree. However, its masters are allowed to “reorganize” their finances any way they want, while eliminating benefits, pensions and all assurances from the people who buy them their yachts. That is, the people who work for them. Whoops! That sounds kind of socialist. “Did you mean forthright?” Let’s hope the NSA is listening in, but let’s not blame 2006 for it. The new year is not at fault for any of the problems we’re currently facing. In fact, they’re hangovers from 2005, 2004, 2003, etc. And that’s a concept many people can relate to, I’m sure. As for being “upbeat,” there’s always old dependable Rev. Pat Robertson, who declared that Prime Minister Sharon’s massive brain hemorrhage was a judgment from God. Sharon “was dividing God’s land,” Robertson explained, “and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course.” That even the Bush administration has denounced this “Christian” obscenity for what it is gives me hope for, well, at least another fortnight. m

H Kronos Quartet, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., January 14. Go to http://hop. dartmouth.edu/ outreach/ kronosunder30. html to read Dan Visconti’s blog. Copenhagen, Vermont Stage Company, FlynnSpace, Burlington, January 25 February 5.
ow do you make classical music play to the next generation of listeners? If you’re the programmer at the Hopkins Center, you book the Kronos Quartet — hip stringsters whose 40-plus contemporary classical recordings feature works by the likes of Thelonious Monk, Astor Piazzolla and Philip Glass. If you’re Kronos, you commission a piece by a twentysomething composer. And if you’re Dan Visconti, the 23-year-old Yale grad student who bested 500 other contenders in the third annual “Kronos Under 30” competition co-sponsored by the Hop, you share your musical musings on a blog. “When I was growing up,” Visconti reveals on his website, “I became absorbed in the Kronos Quartet’s visceral and adventurous recordings in much the same way that many adolescents obsess over the albums of the great, iconic rock bands.” The connection between classical and popular music carries over into his commissioned piece, “Love Bleeds Radiant.” In it, the musicians on stage play in reaction to what sounds like a scratchy 78 rpm blues record — really a 30-second segment Kronos prerecorded and Visconti electronically altered to simulate the static pops and surface hiss of old vinyl on a turntable. “As a composer I envision the audience hearing the quartet playing along with a beat-up old record,” Visconti explains on the phone from New Haven, Connecticut. “The literal experience of finding an old album and the sense of distortion and decay is very moving metaphorically.” The piece was “informed by my experience as an electric guitarist as much as my background as a classically trained violinist,” he elaborates in his program notes. “Amplification, distortion and other live electronics have been utilized in order to evoke the gritty, raw emotion that permeates the language of the blues.” Those program notes are posted on Visconti’s December blog, in which he also offers a detailed deconstruction of his own words. “Although the song I’ve based the piece upon is, of course, wordless, I can’t help imagining that through its own muteness the music sings of a terrible and resplendent love: a love that burns wild without fading, searches ardently without ceasing, and — ultimately — one that outshines its own darkness,” he gushes in his notes. Visconti is also willing to make fun of himself. In the annotation that follows, he refers to the over-wrought passage above as “the real wanking paragraph.” Elsewhere, he describes a boilerplate listing of sponsors as “the obligatory and carefully worded thanks, whose . . . clunky legalese fits kind of unhappily with my writing style, and I decided to separate it wholesale from the rest of the note, like that black sheep Uncle
Reginald who defected in Hanoi and we never talk about, no, not ever.” It’s an entertaining ramble, but the point is to coax readers away from their computers and into the auditorium. Will it work? If Visconti’s electronics aren’t sufficiently enticing, maybe cinematic chic can score additional listeners. The Kronos Quartet’s January 14 program

also features Bollywood film music and a suite from the haunting 2000 drug flick, Requiem for a Dream. Vermont Stage Company’s next play, Copenhagen, requires your full attention. Based on the mysterious 1941 meeting between physicists Niels Bohr, a Dane, and his protégé Werner Heisenberg, who was then working for the Nazis, it considers the moral struggles of the nuclear physicists behind the A-bomb. British playwright Michael Frayn’s 2000 Tony Award-winning script was inspired by Heisenberg’s War: The Secret History of the German Bomb by South 2x5-3Toms120705 Royalton resident Thomas Powers, a founder of Steerforth Press. A subtheme in the play is Powers’ thesis that Heisenberg may have chosen to stay with 2x5-acupuncture011106.indd 1 the Germans in order to keep Hitler from getting the bomb. His dilemma: By helping the allies, he puts his own family at risk. In the play, Heisenberg defends himself by pointing out that at least he’s conflicted — his competitors at Los Alamos never stopped to think at all. This assessment is accurate, according to Stephan Golux of East Middlebury, who’s directing the show for Vermont Stage. He’s uniquely qualified to navigate Copenhagen and the conflict it dramatizes between scientific inquiry and nationalism. Before turning to theater, Golux studied astronautical engineering and philosophy at MIT, where many of the scientists from the Manhattan Project were then teaching. At a symposium on the bomb’s 40th anniversary, he heard the scientists reflect “with amusement and horror” on what it was like to be young and brilliant and working at Los Alamos, Golux says. “They were kids at the time. They reflected on a seduction of trying to crack the code, solve the puzzle. They really felt as if they were making war obsolete.” m

ave you ever wondered how many novels portray Bennington College as a den of depravity? How many coming-of-age tales wind around the Lamoille River? Whether James Bond ever set foot in Vermont? The answers, respectively, are at least three, two, and yes — in Ian Fleming’s For Your Eyes Only, 007 sneaked over the border to neutralize Euro-baddies in the Northeast Kingdom. Such local literary curiosities are satisfied in A Guide to Fiction Set in Vermont, by South Newfane resident Ann McKinstry Micou. It’s the first book published by the Vermont Humanities Council. The Guide lists works by lifelong Vermonters alongside those of authors who never left Manhattan — the common denominator is, they all used a Green Mountain setting. A comprehensive reference work rather than a sampler, the book is easy to use — and surprisingly addictive. If you want to find, say, a novel based in your town, or a surreal Vermont horror tale, you can go straight to the appendices, in which nearly 500 works are grouped by their genres, publication dates, and real or fictitious settings. Or you can go to the “subject index,” which reveals impressive numbers of books about “communes and cults,” “suicide,” “skiing” and “flatlanders.” The bulk of the Guide comprises plot summaries — nearly 300 pages of them — arranged alphabetically by author. Opening at random, one discovers that best-selling author Sue Miller’s 2001 novel The World Below hinges on the heroine’s dilemma about whether to start a new life in rural Vermont or return to San “Underlines” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

Frost, for instance, described her bleak, northcountry setting as a place where “blue fog brushed the coral of hawthorn and rosehaws, lifted to bathe the boughs in the acrid fragrance of disaster.” Skip on over to the entry for celebrated Gen-X novelist Jonathan Lethem’s The Fortress of Solitude and you encounter a completely different Vermont, one viewed from the perspective of a Fresh Air kid from Brooklyn. “This null area . . . was only measured in its distance from the city, its use as a restorative, a place to get your act together before returning to the real world.” Although the Guide was published by the Humanities Council and underwritten by the Vermont Department of Libraries, for Micou it started out as a labor of love. Like the protagonists of many of the books she lists, the author came to Vermont from “outside.” Now 75, Micou had a 46-year career that included extensive international travel and nonprofit work. As director of the Southern African Information Exchange, she produced research that aided the work of anti-apartheid groups. In 1999, Micou retired from her New York-based job and moved to Vermont, where she took up research of a different flavor. “When I came here, it was clear to me right away that I wanted to start reading fiction set in Vermont,” she says in a phone interview. “From a casual interest, I got quite passionate about what I was learning. After a year, I realized this was something I couldn’t stop doing. It

became a treasure hunt, to follow all the clues.” The books range from heavyweight literary novels to Harlequins: The only excluded genres are poetry and kid fiction. Save for the stray admiring comment, she leaves evaluations of literary merit to the reader. Micou initially discovered Vermont-linked writers by reading cover blurbs — authors with common home states or interests are often asked to review one another. Soon she moved from her local library to heavy-duty research sources such as the Library of Congress, the NovelList database and UVM’s Special Collections. She researched obscure 19th-century writers and found other works “by luck, just by scrolling around.” The book involved exhaustive cross-referencing, of which Micou says with a chuckle, “It’s not everybody’s vocation, but it is mine.” Micou prefers not to name her own favorite Vermont-set novels, but she says they come from two broad categories. The first is “some really stunning novels” produced by women born between the 1850s and 1870s, such as Sarah Cleghorn and
and try to push their way around.” A later-developing theme is that of “traditional Vermont versus progress.” The Guide features dozens of post1960s titles that play variations on the “Flatlanders go back to the land” motif. “Fiction,” Micou points out, “is a social history of Vermont.” While A Guide to Fiction Set in Vermont explores the definition of a place, the mission of the Saranac Review is to transcend geographical boundaries. The new annual literary journal is housed at SUNY Plattsburgh’s English Department, but it welcomes submissions from both sides of the border. As editor Linda Young puts it in her opening notes, the Review “aims to dissolve boundaries and to create connections between American and Canadian writers, acting as a textual clearing, a space for cross-pollination.” The inaugural issue features writers from all over the United States, along with a handful of Canadians and two Serbian authors in translation. Vermont gets plenty of ink. UVM painting professor Frank Owen’s vibrantly colored abstract “In Season August” graces the journal’s cover.
The Guide lists works by lifelong Vermonters alongside those of authors who never left Manhattan — the common denominator is, they all used a Green Mountain setting. Dorothy Canfield Fisher. “Then there are writers whom I loved in another world, before I came to Vermont,” says Micou, pointing out that Irwin Shaw, John O’Hara, Nathanael West, Pearl Buck and Sinclair Lewis have all featured Vermont settings in their stories or novels. So did Stephen King, Annie Proulx, Paul Auster, Danielle Steele, Ambrose Bierce, Mark Helprin, Shirley Jackson, Nora Roberts, Donald Westlake, B. Comfort, Bret Easton Ellis and Jodi Picoult. It’s quite a motley gallery — a Vermont of innocent villages and decadent campus antics; of sinister mansions and struggling farmsteads; of supernatural manifestations and salt of the earth. While fiction by Vermonters is as diverse as those who author it, Vermont-set fiction has recurring themes. Micou calls one of these “belonging versus rejection,” or the “tension between people whose grandfathers made their pitch in the New Hampshire grant and fought for their land and other people who come up
Inside, there’s poetry by David Budbill, Green Mountains Review editor Neil Shepard, and UVM lecturer Elizabeth Powell. Faculty from the writing programs at Vermont College and Bennington are also represented. But the most tantalizing piece in the Saranac Review is an excerpt from prolific Middlebury College professor Jay Parini’s new Civil War novel. Entitled Deadline Fiddle, it’ll be published by HarperCollins in 2007. In three nonconsecutive chapters, Parini introduces us to a musicloving young Union soldier, to the jaded wife of a Confederate officer and, finally, to a hellish prison camp in Georgia: a human “anthill” where the earth is “hard like brick” and the only stream “foamed and boiled with insects and human excrement.” Then the author leaves us hanging — and thinking. “Young men rarely take their own mortality into account when it comes to wars,” Parini’s soldier muses wryly in the first excerpt. “If they did, there would be no wars.” m

THE OTHER TV GUIDE
New Year’s Revolution
T
he holiday season has long been notorious for spiking the suicide rate, and I strongly suspect the apocalyptic images flickering on TV screens as 2005 drew to a close sent more than the usual number in desperate search of sleeping pills, razor blades or the nearest high-rise window. In case you hadn’t noticed, New Year’s Eve has been hijacked by the forces of dorkness and transmuted from a one or two network-based hoedown of harmless living-room revelry into a massive cathode feeding frenzy in which legions of networks and cable entities vie for the right to Dick Clark’s rockin’ throne. Believe it or not, that isn’t even the saddest part. The really gloomy news is, I reported in this column last January that Ryan Seacrest, of all sentient beings, had actually stated in the presence of reporters, “When it’s time to say ‘OK, here’s the show and the guy that is going to be around on New Year’s Eve for years to come,’ I would definitely like to be the one that the baton gets passed to.” Now, a year later, I must report the television gods have given him the green light. There he was in a December 27 photograph printed in newspapers from coast to coast. It accompanied the story of ABC’s announcement that the 76-yearold broadcasting legend and recovering stroke victim would return to co-host this year’s edition of “Dick Clark’s Prime Time New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” with Hillary Duff and Seacrest. Of course, the image turned out to be a fake. The network evidently Photoshopped an old graphic of Clark into a shot of Duff and Seacrest posing together. Unfortunately, the headline was true. Clark was indeed passing the baton to his successor. Naming him, at any rate. Please, would somebody give Ryan Seacrest’s skull a thorough exam? There’s got to be a “666” hidden somewhere under those carefully tousled highlights. How else to explain the “American Idol” host’s mete-

oric rise to broadcast prominence? It certainly has nothing to do with talent. He doesn’t sing. He doesn’t dance. He doesn’t act, tell jokes, play a musical instrument, write, or do anything even remotely creative, to the best of my knowledge. Many contestants who’ve performed on the “Idol” stage have been infinitely more gifted. “Seacrest out!” seems to be the sum total of his creative output to date. Assuming, that is, he came up with the catchphrase himself. Maybe the answer can be found in recent ruminations: “Knowing that I had been studying the Dick Clark model,” he reflected to a Gannett interviewer last month, “I thought it would be the perfect next step, whenever he wasn’t doing it or didn’t want to do it. I wanted to be the ‘go-to’ guy. Then, about six or seven months ago, it was brought to my attention that there was interest in me being part of the Dick Clark production team, as a producer and possibly as an onair talent. It really is the one [opportunity] in my mind and in my overall thinking of what I want to do in my career I couldn’t say no to.” So that’s what Ryan Seacrest does between seasons of “American Idol” — he studies the Dick Clark model. What the hell is that supposed to mean? In his overall thinking about what he wants to do with his life, emceeing a Times Square countdown special has loomed large in his master plan? Who walks around thinking these things, much less uttering them out loud? You’d never have suspected the 31-year-old was fulfilling a lifelong ambition or executing a long-pondered stratagem as you watched him at work on New Year’s Eve. His presentation and his broadcast’s production were all but indistinguishable from those of his competitors. And they, presumably, haven’t devoted years to studying the Dick Clark model. On NBC, for example, Carson Daly demonstrated, for the second year in a row, that being a personality no longer requires having one. All these shows follow pretty much the same formula at this point: Canned banter, crowd shots and performances by musicians with product to push — in this case, most notably, Puff Daddy, or whatever the rapper is calling himself these days.
“New Year’s Eve Live” (a funny thing to call a show like this, if you think about it) over at Fox had perennial “go-to” guy Regis Philbin standing out in the cold and pushing record industry product with a countdown of the year’s biggest songs. Anderson Cooper did the honors once again for CNN. Apparently the network can’t decide whether it wants to market the poor guy as a tough but sensitive news reporter or as an all-around media huggy bear. (Just kidding about the “poor” part — he’s the son of socialite moneybags Gloria Vanderbilt.) Cooper’s popularity shot up in the wake of his Katrina coverage, so it was probably no coincidence his New Year’s broadcast had a bit of Cajun flavor. In between performances by James Brown and “Idol” alum Fantasia, he threw it to New Orleans megachef Paul Prudhomme. There’s a reason Prudhomme is a cook and not an entertainer. MTV hosted its traditional year-end blow out, which consisted of popular tunes sung by such top-selling acts as Kanye West, Shakira, Fall Out Boy and All American Rejects. Otherwise known as exactly what the music channel does every other day of the year. Hey, pop songs on MTV — it’s a holiday miracle! But it was a tad disorienting to come across essentially the same spectacle for the first time on ESPN. I checked to see if we hadn’t downed more of the bubbly than I’d thought but, sure enough, there was The Boss’ buddy, Little Steven Van Zandt, joining a bunch of garage bands as part of the network’s sporty countdown to 2006. Also in the “Precisely What Is the Connection to New Year’s Eve?” category: a special on Comedy Central, a festive “What Not to Wear” marathon on TLC, and “Happy Crüe Year: Carnival of Sins,” a pay-per-view “gift” from Tommy Lee and the guys. I wasn’t about to pay for the privilege of viewing musical acts, given it was virtually impossible to find a channel not broadcasting them. But I wouldn’t be surprised to learn the Motley Crüe production was a livelier time than the one Seacrest co-hosted. Bon Jovi (“from their home town of New Jersey”), Mariah Carey, 3 Doors Down and The Bangles, among others, did little to keep the sleepies at bay. Ditto with the Ryanator’s electrifying history lesson about Thomas Edison showcasing the light bulb during a New Year’s Eve celebration in 1879, and nonstop plugs for Disney, ABC’s parent company. As the show broke for the local news, though, Seacrest did finally say something interesting: “Next, we’ve got Dick Clark returning after his year off.” Forty or so minutes later, there he was. At the bottom of the screen a disclaimer read, “Portions Recorded.” An old pro like Clark wasn’t about to attempt a highwire act like this without a net, and who could blame him? Since his 2004 stroke, he’s been learning how to talk again, and clearly still has a way to go. But you had to give him credit for a brave attempt to seem breezy and enthusiastic about another year’s passing. If there was a shred of dignity and truth anywhere on the dial that night, Clark was it. The television gods weren’t through with Seacrest, though. No sooner had Clark granted Seacrest his succession wish than E! Entertainment Television announced it had signed him to a three-year, $21 million deal. That’s when I realized it must be me. It’s far more plausible that I’m missing something than that the entire universe is driven by absurd, capricious and demonically tasteless forces. At any rate, there is an upside. Seacrest’s deal will have him developing and producing shows in addition to performing red-carpet duties à la Joan Rivers at events such as the upcoming Golden Globes. We’re finally going to see what he’s learned from all those years of studying the Dick Clark model. Say what you will about them, Clark created a long list of successful broadcasts and had a significant impact on the medium over the past half-century. He invented dozens of concepts and formats. Ryan Seacrest has proven he’s up to the task of introducing hit records on a weekly radio program called “American Top 40” and reading off a TelePrompTer. For the first time in his charmed career, he’ll have to prove he can create. My guess is, a deafening blast will rock Los Angeles in the coming weeks. No, it won’t be the work of evildoers — just the sound of Seacrest’s brain exploding. m

THE PROGFATHER WHO ISN’T A PROG, CONGRESSMAN BERNIE SANDERS
<OPINION>
Party, Party, Party Can’t Vermont’s Progressives and Democrats just get along?
B
eing a relative newcomer to Vermont has certain advantages, including the right to ask stupid questions. Here’s one of mine: Why aren’t Vermont’s Progressives and Democrats doing STORY something to heal their rift, before they BILL allow the Republicans to fill Bernie MCKIBBEN Sanders’ Congressional seat this fall? I lived most of my life in the Adirondacks, where there are no Progressives and few Democrats. So after I moved to Addison County several years ago, one of the pleasures of registering to vote was knowing that my ballot might back a winner now and again. I quickly figured out that my left-of-center preference came in two flavors here, and it was confusing enough to keep me from jumping wholeheartedly behind either band, but I didn’t really give it much thought until recently. Suddenly, though, with the Bush administration flailing so badly, it’s begun to look as if control of Congress could conceivably slip from Republican hands in November’s election. And so a dismal scenario emerged in my mind: What if a divided liberal vote in Vermont sent Republican Martha Rainville to the House? And what if she turned out to be the margin of victory that kept this taxcutting, Arctic-drilling, phone-tapping, war-making bunch in power? Not statistically likely, but plausible. I decided to talk to candidates, organizers and contributors from both the Dem and Prog camps. What little I knew came mainly from Peter Freyne’s political column in this newspaper, but since he’s always breaking the next
story, there’s not enough room for all the history. I wanted to know why the Progressives had arisen; what the costs and benefits were of having two parties on the same general side of the political spectrum; and what, if anything, could be done to head off my particular nightmare. I learned a lot — including the
get how obnoxious the big-money politics of the Democrats had become, with Clinton renting the Lincoln Bedroom to wealthy contributors, and pushing through a series of trade pacts — GATT, NAFTA, etc. — that helped commit the world to a race-to-the-bottom economy.
Burlington Intervale farmer and state rep became head of the House Agriculture Committee last session and is now considering challenging Democrat Peter Welch for Sanders’ vacated Congressional seat. The Progs have six seats in the Vermont Statehouse; successes last year
Bernie-ism is the most provocative force Vermont politics has seen in a long time, but it could vanish when he does. fact that nothing is easy when ambitions and ideas are at stake and personalities are in play. Still, it seems there are routes leading away from trouble if anyone chooses to take them. First, the background. When Bernie was running for mayor of Burlington in 1981, the people who helped elect him came to be known as the Progressive Coalition. They weren’t yet a separate party, but they weren’t exactly regular Democrats, either. By the early 1990s, the first Burlington Progressives were elected to the Statehouse. And by 1999 the coalition had become a party. The date is important, I think: The end of the Clinton presidency — eight years with not much to show for it — was a dreary time for the left. It’s easy to for-
Meanwhile, environmentalists were unhappy that nothing was being done about global warming; social justice activists were watching the erosion of welfare. It’s no wonder Ralph Nader was revving up to run for president, speaking to adoring crowds at campuses nationwide. And in Vermont, where six terms of Howard Dean had not exactly upended Montpelier, Anthony Pollina was running for governor as Vermont’s first “clean money” candidate. He ended up with 10 percent of the vote, and has since become a Progressive star — Pollina’s daily radio show on WDEV, “Equal Time,” is an indispensable forum for non-establishment Vermonters. Other stars have emerged, too, notably Dave Zuckerman. The
in the Northeast Kingdom have demonstrated the party’s ability to organize the kind of people Democrats claim to speak for but sometimes don’t speak to: blue-collar workers, small farmers and others who aren’t prospering in an increasingly divided economy. “We have a two-party system that doesn’t work for half the population,” says Pollina. Vermonters may be “heritage Democrats” or “heritage Republicans,” says Zuckerman, but many of them are willing to ignore that legacy and support a . . . Bernie. Indeed, the unspoken Progressive hope is to bottle Bernie-ism; to build a party with the same kind of issues and the same sort of honest, pugnacious stance that gets a New York socialist Jew a standing ovation at Barre’s

turn into the Progressives’ Nader moment, ensuring that only the truest believers would be there the next time. Ironically, the most powerful statement on the Progs has come from Bernie Sanders himself. He may be the inspiration for the party, but he’s never run under its banner. And as he gears up for his own U.S. Senate race, Sanders has made it clear he supports a Democrat for the seat he’s vacating. The fight in Washington, he has said, is too important to risk electing a Republican. From what I can piece together, this is where matters stand at the moment: The Progressives have the power to disrupt the next election but probably not to win it. And certain Democratic operatives are quietly optimistic that the Progs might slowly fade away — which has been the fate of most third parties in American politics. And so, while Dems may work with Progs on the
when he does. That would be a shame. How to preserve it? Not with the status quo. The Progressives war with the Democrats even though they vote alike on a majority of issues. (Their emphases differ, it’s true — the Democrats don’t tend to care about, say, GMOs in the same visceral way — but they vote alike. Say Zuckerman somehow won the House race; he’d caucus with the Democrats, just as Bernie has done, and he’d vote their way on 90 percent of the legislation that reached the floor.) The Prog-Dem war leads to indefensible results — it’s widely believed, for instance, that the Zuckerman threat might “disappear� if the Democrats “gave� Pollina an uncontested shot at Dubie. No one knows if that’s true, but that’s the point. That kind of backroom dealing is the antithesis of what small-d democrats and small-p progressives want.

Thunder Road. The degree to which Progs have succeeded in keeping the strands of their party together is kind of wonderful. Tune in to Pollina’s radio show and you’ll hear old Vermonters agreeing with new-age transplants about the need for GMO-free milk and dairies that pay farmers livable wages. This, frankly, is more inspiring than your average Democratic stump speech about small changes that might keep things from getting worse. On the other hand, a lot has changed since 1999 — and not only “9/11.� George W. Bush turned out to be incalculably worse than many on the left even imagined. A Republican-controlled Congress has not just cozied up to corporations but turned the government over to them; we’re mired in a war based on lies; much of the world despises us; the greedfest on Capitol Hill has led to a seemingly endless string of indictments; the planet just keeps getting hotter. Partly in response to Bush’s radicalism, the Democrats look better than they used to. Howard Dean is perhaps a good example; the former Vermont governor has transformed himself from redfaced presidential candidate to Democratic national chair, fighting alongside the likes of Dem darling Barack Obama. In Montpelier, Gaye Symington leads the Democratic House. Surely to the left of any other state-level leader in the country, she has managed to shepherd legislation that looked a lot like single-payer health care. In the Vermont Senate, Welch pushed through anti-GMO legislation for which Zuckerman had built public support. And so, when the Burlington Progressive gave his party convention speech last fall aggressively attacking the Democrats “because they are beholden to the same big money that the Republicans are,� it sounded a little flat. Something else has changed for third parties since 1999: Ralph Nader. It can’t quite be said that Nader handed George W. Bush the presidency. But his fierce, swing-state campaigning, in combination with Al Gore’s lackluster candidacy, gave the Supreme Court the opportunity to do so. In Vermont, some accused Anthony Pollina of being a spoiler in 2002, when he ran for lieutenant governor and took 25 percent of the vote, allowing Republican Brian Dubie to win with 41 percent. Pollina may run again this year, and if he does, Democrat Matt Dunne’s already slim chances of ousting Dubie will dwindle to anorexic. In fact, Pollina might out-poll Dunne — at this point he’s better known, and plenty of people think his organizing work has earned him a job. But if both run, neither is likely to emerge victorious. And if Zuckerman takes on Welch and Rainville and walks away with 10 or 20 percent of the vote, will he hand the Congressional seat to the Republican? It could happen — Zuckerman is an attractive, mediagenic, powerful campaigner — and it would be impressive for a third-party candidate to do so well. But it would almost certainly
Burlington City Council or in the Vermont Legislature, in high-stakes races they offer no quarter. This seems to me a tragic mistake. Not just because, backed into a corner, the Progressives could decide to take the Democrats down with them on Election Day next November. But because doing so would deprive the Democrats of something they really need: a way to connect with Vermonters who aren’t traditional Democrats but who are being chewed up and spat out by our new economy — precisely the voters Sanders has so successfully reached. That connection might allow not only for electoral success but also profound progress on the questions that matter most to our communities — questions about whether we’re going to perceive ourselves primarily as individuals or as members of a community. Bernie-ism is the most provocative force Vermont politics has seen in a long time, but it could vanish
Meanwhile, one reason Vermont Democrats can look so lackluster is that the very existence of the Progs weakens their own left wing, so the remaining Dems may be too comfortable with lobbyists and set the bar for progress too low. (Vermont’s renewable energy policies, for instance, trail those of dozens of other states.) And there’s another problem: Because the Progs are off in their own sandbox, their very good ideas sometimes lack adequate reality testing. Everyone in the room roars their approval of universal, free college education, but no one stands up and says, “How are you going to pay for that?� And that’s precisely the kind of question that makes you smarter when you have to answer it. The divide between Progressives and Democrats seems deep, but I have come away believing there are ways to bridge it — to allow the battle within the >> 27A

+++++ The Spot (1/2 Lounge, Dec. 1) The 1/2 is the spot for excellent cocktails
Always good food here although the ambiance can leave something to be desired. The roll sampler for an appetizer is excellent. The pho is tasty. The buns are nice and provide a good lunch option. My only caveat would be not to order any entree that has an English name. We’ve always found them disappointing. I also recommend bringing at least four of you so you can sample a wide variety of dishes.

And the service is probably the fastest I’ve ever experienced at a sit-down restaurant. We ordered and our food was brought over literally five minutes later! Plus, two people can easily have dinner for under $20. +++++ Truly Authentic Mexican! (Rosita’s Mexican Restaurant, Jan. 9) Prepare to be delightfully surprised by the authentic regional cuisines of Mexico at Rosita’s. The calamari is a particular favorite — fresh and perfectly cooked for tenderness, served with a wonderful lime/cream sauce. The rice, often served as a side, is buttery and nutty without being overly spiced. A perfect compliment to a spicy main dish. The chili rellenos are superb. All portions are generous so order accordingly. I’ve travelled throughout Mexico and I can vouch that this is the real deal. We are very lucky to have Rosita’s in our backyard.
+++++ Waterbury’s New Star (Hen of the Wood at Grist Mill, Dec.18) High-quality “New American” cuisine that showcases local produce. On both of my visits the menu was heavy on game and root veggies, and could have used a few lighter entrees, but what was offered was top-notch. Standouts were the pork belly appetizer and the smoked duck breast entree. They have an amazing, all-American wine list — fans of Smokejacks will feel right at home. Two things need work: the desserts, which were poor, and the atmosphere, which is too hushed and formal. You’ll have a wonderful meal, but be prepared to drop a bundle.

liberal/left to be fought among friends, not enemies. • One possibility is instant runoff voting. IRV would, in effect, make every election into both a primary and a general. Say you have a three-way race for lieutenant governor. You might rank Pollina #1, Dunne #2 and Dubie #3. If Pollina gets the fewest number of votes, he’s out of the race and your ballot switches over to the Dunne column. There’s no such thing as a spoiler in this kind of contest. I spent many years covering this brand of election in Cambridge, Mass., where it’s been used to elect city officials for 70 years. As Burlington voters will discover in March when they use IRV for the first time, it’s not too complicated. And it has a blessed side effect. Since Dunne wants Pollina’s #2 votes and viceversa, they have a great incentive not to slag each other in the campaign. The candidates can differ on the issues, but there’s a real risk to loose talk about sell-out Democrats or wild-eyed
Progressive Party would still have divisions, but the ideological battles would be fought where they belong — in primaries. Almost no one I’ve talked to could make this sound like a bad idea, yet nearly all of them said it wouldn’t happen. But surely it wouldn’t be that hard for the party chairs to sit down and talk. It would be easier still if Sanders decided to play the role that Hubert Humphrey did in Minnesota, using his enormous influence to persuade others to go along. (That might be the best chance for his legacy to live past his own career. Even saints need a church to keep their memory vital.) Sanders’ independence is legendary, and it’s worked extraordinarily well for him. But if he ascends to the Senate, he’ll only have to run for office every six years, and it’s almost impossible to imagine a real challenge to his tenure. So maybe the time is ripe for him to act. • Finally, there’s always a chance that the Progressives might decide to move back with-
Some proto-version of these last two options seems to have been in operation last week when lots of Burlington Progressives attended the city’s Democratic Caucus and helped nominate Hinda Miller for mayor, after she pledged to carry on the legacy of Peter Clavelle. Such attempts at fusion are a good start. But I fear the most likely statewide outcome is that nothing much will change. Even if they don’t run candidates, the Progs could sit sullenly on the sidelines, half-hoping the GOP wins, since it would prove their point about the hollowness of the Democratic Party. And it will always be easier for the Democrats not to try crossing the cultural gulf between them and the Sanders constituency. Even if the groups did unite, of course, there’s no guarantee it would result in victory. Peter Clavelle lost decisively running for governor as a crossover candidate, and ßber-handicapper Freyne says Rainville will be a

I can imagine Pollina the plain-speaking radio host or Zuckerman the pony-tailed farmer running within the Democratic primary and doing pretty well. Progressives. Or even about troglodyte Republicans, since everyone wants Dubie’s #2s, as well. There’s really no good argument against IRV. The Senate should have passed it long ago, and they should do so this term. If they don’t, it will only be because Welch won’t want to look like he’s giving in to a longtime Progressive demand. But that’s letting playground fights get in the way of good policy. Unfortunately, Gov. Jim Douglas would probably veto IRV if it did pass, as he’d prefer to see the Progressive-Democratic split remain. • Another possibility is some kind of quasi-merger. This is not without precedent: In the 1940s Minnesota’s Democratic and Farmer-Labor parties joined together; the resulting DFL has been a remarkable force ever since, producing stars such as Eugene McCarthy and Paul Wellstone.

in the Democratic fold even without the parties merging. When I talked to Zuckerman and Pollina, neither would categorically rule out the possibility of contesting the Democratic primary this year. It would mean eating an awful lot of words about the corruption of the twoparty system, and since they’d have to pledge support for the eventual nominee, it would essentially extinguish the idea of a third party. But the Progs could say they’d been inspired by Bernie’s example. And surely it would come as a relief to them to talk about dairy farms and health care instead of denying that they’re spoilers. I, for one, can imagine Pollina the plain-speaking radio host or Zuckerman the pony-tailed farmer running within the Democratic primary and doing pretty well. “It would be a hard pill to swallow, but it’s on the wall as one of a dozen possibilities,� said Zuckerman.

tough match even head-to-head: “Jim Douglas in a skirt, she is.� In the long run, the biggest casualty of a continued split may not come with this fall’s elections. The real cost is with us voters. Rather than being energized by the extra choices, I think the battles between Progs and Dems often drain enthusiasm for getting very excited about either party. Picking sides is emotionally and tactically difficult. Most of us who care about politics have both a desire to see the world change in profound ways and an understanding that day-to-day progress is usually the result of incremental change and regrettable compromise. This is not realism versus idealism; it’s different flavors of idealism. How powerful it would be to have a political party that fully represented this fact — and how tantalizingly possible it seems in Vermont. m

story: Ken Picard images: Burlington Department of Planning & Zoning Burlington’s residents aren’t alone in ignoring the city’s zoning rewrite. The same can be said for many of the professionals who deal with zoning issues every day: builders, architects, housing experts, historic preservationists and anti-sprawl advocates. Seven Days asked four area professionals what they know about the rewrite and, more importantly, what they’d like to see included in the final version. Many of their comments have to do with ways to make designing and building here more efficient. Other suggestions were bigger-picture items and beyond the reach of a zoning ordinance. Planner David White says that’s OK. Whatever public comments don’t fit in the zoning rewrite could still become part of the master plan, also slated for a rewrite.
Tom Cullins, architect, Truex, Cullins & Partners of Burlington: Cullins is a third-generation Burlington resident who has worked as an architect here since 1968. His firm has designed some of the city’s most recognizable buildings, including luxury condos at College and Battery Streets and the newer buildings at Champlain College. His firm also designed the Westlake Residences and Marriott Hotel now under construction on Battery Street (see accompanying story).

smattering of people are milling around the Champlain School library and perusing a display of color-coded maps and aerial photos of Burlington.

David White, a comprehensive planner with the Burlington Department of Planning and Zoning, begins his two-hour presentation — an overview of the most

Yet few people in the room — or elsewhere in Burlington — seem to realize the city’s zoning ordinance is being overhauled, let alone know what it entails. That’s likely to change soon. Within four to six weeks, Planning and Zoning is expected to unveil a draft of the new zoning ordinance for the City Council’s

He seems unfazed by the meager turnout. Attendance at two previous public forums wasn’t much better. This time of year, even the most civicminded residents are preoccupied with more seasonal pursuits. It’s hard to generate much excitement for a meeting about overlay districts, architectural design standards and mixed-use development when there are skis to be waxed and Xboxes to be gift-wrapped. An informational forum on the zoning rewrite is scheduled for Thursday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m. in Burlington City Hall Auditorium. Visit http://www.ci.burlington. vt.us/planning/cdo/index.html for more details.
For much of the morning, representatives from some of Vermont’s most influential businesses, educational institutions and government agencies listen to lofty predictions about what the Queen City will look like in 25 years. There’s talk of hydrofoils operating on Lake Champlain and people-movers shuttling commuters into downtown, daily Amtrak service between Burlington and New York City, and a skyway linking the waterfront to the University of Vermont. Amid all the optimistic forecasts about a citywide fiber-optics network, a new sports arena and a recession-proof economy, however, Burlington’s Zoning Rewrite Project goes all but unmentioned. The zoning rewrite is a major undertaking that’s been in the
review and approval. From there begins a long and possibly heated public discussion about how Burlington should grow in the next decade and beyond. Thus far, few people outside of City Hall have taken much interest in the project, which isn’t surprising — zoning isn’t a sexy topic. Unless you’re a policy wonk, a developer building highrise condos in downtown, a historic preservationist working to save 19th-century houses from the wrecking ball, or a homeowner preparing to install a new swimming pool, chances are you’ve never given zoning much thought at all. And until recently, most of the work on the rewrite has gone on behind closed doors. >> 30A

Cullins would like to see the city allow for greater housing density. He points to Champlain’s new student residence hall as an example of increased density that also fits within the fabric of the neighborhood. “This city needs to grow within its boundaries if it’s going to continue to compete with surrounding development,” he says. “In particular, what we need is more residential.” Cullins says that many people who move to Burlington from larger urban areas assume they’re living “in the country” and don’t want the city to grow any larger. “Burlington is the only real urban city Vermont has,” he says. “The whole state is its park.” Unless Burlington can provide more housing in its urban core and keep “bodies here 24 hours a day,” he believes, the city will lose out to neighboring towns and sprawl. Finally, Cullins says the permitting process needs to be simplified. “It’s just terribly complicated and extremely, extremely expensive,” he says. “I’m not always confident that people in public positions have a grasp of the [costs] that some of their decisions create.”
A week before Christmas, a
city in Vermont, but compared to other urban burgs, it still looks a lot like a small town. In part, that’s because it has so few high rises. Looking at the city skyline, there are just a few buildings over five or six stories. The tallest, Decker Towers on St. Paul Street, rises 11 floors, but it’s built on a low spot, which makes it look smaller. The construction of a hotel and luxury condominiums at the corner of Cherry and Battery streets is changing that landscape. In the past year, many Burlington residents must have eyed the tangle of steel girders that now looms over Battery Street and thought, “Wow, that thing is tall.” Austin Hart, chair of Burlington’s Development Review Board, admits he’s had that experience himself. “Every time I look up the hill I say, ‘Oh, my God, it’s still going up.’” But Hart and city officials who approved the building point out that it complies with the city’s zoning ordinance — by making use of a few exceptions written into the code. They also predict the edifice will eventually blend in, and argue that tall, mixed-use projects like this are good for the city. Community and Economic Development Office Director Michael Monte supported the project through the permitting process, where it faced virtually no public opposition. “When it’s completed, it will fit differently,” he promises. “Ultimately, over time, it’ll begin to take its place in the skyline of the city.” So what’s it going to be, exactly? David Scheuer, founder and president of the Retrovest Companies, explains that there will actually be three separate entities on the site.
Retrovest, which developed the Gables community in Shelburne and the Palisades in Stowe, is overseeing the Westlake Residences. That’s an eight-story luxury condo project housed in the building closest to the Wyndham Hotel. Construction workers have also begun erecting the second entity, an eight-story, 127-room hotel between the Westlake Residences and the corner of Cherry and Battery streets. It’s slated to become a Marriott franchise called the Courtyard Burlington Harbor Hotel, to be managed by locally owned Westport Hospitality. Construction has not yet begun on the third portion of the project. The Westlake Lofts, also owned by Retrovest, will be an L-shaped building with two floors of commercial office space and three floors of condos. Seven of the 21 units for sale will be classified as inclusionary — or affordable — housing. The complex will sit on Cherry Street, behind the hotel, and will straddle the entrance to the Lakeview parking garage. Visitors driving into the garage will enter through an arch in the building. At least, that’s the plan. The Westlake Lofts part of the project is still seeking final approval from the city. On a tour of the site one January afternoon, Scheuer points out where the Lofts will be. Donning a blue hard hat for the occasion, the blacksuited developer steps carefully around a large, black-and-yellow S.D. Ireland crane and piles of rebar. “This is where you’ll drive in for the hotel,” he says, gesturing to a mound of snow behind the hotel’s concrete foundation. The driveway will enter and exit on Cherry Street. It will lead to a courtyard and a two-level under-

ground parking garage serving both the hotel and the condos. Scheuer points out that the architects intentionally left a notch between the Wyndham and the Westlake condos. On this bright afternoon, you can see the sun, and the glittering lake, right through it. “It’ll be really dramatic when you drive in,” he observes. The developer is acutely conscious of views, because that’s essentially what he’s selling. Each of the Westlake Residence’s 30 units faces west. Potential buyers can examine the lake view from each floor by clicking on the Westlake Residences website. It’s this scenic feature, more than any-
thing, that has pushed the price of the apartments to between $495,000 to $735,000 and possibly higher, depending on the fixtures and the floor; the higher the floor, the pricier the unit. Each of the 1671- to 1829square-foot spaces includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining room, library and deck. Retrovest is also offering both standard and “premium finish” packages with amenities such as marble flooring and crown molding that can boost the price by tens of thousands of dollars. Buyers can also opt for empty units sans walls, plumbing or fixtures — “the vanilla-white box,” Scheuer calls it — and hire their own con-
tractors to do the outfitting. Apparently there’s a market for this product. Retrovest has found 21 buyers from as far away as California and Louisiana. One Burlington couple, Susan and Alan Wertheimer, plan to move into a unit on the seventh floor. The Wertheimers have lived on Bayview Street in the South End for nearly 30 years. Now that their kids are grown, they’re looking to downsize. “The house is just a little too big for us now,” says Susan. She adds that the couple looked at other retirement options, but couldn’t find the kind of situation they wanted. Alan is a political sci>> 31A

Stu McGowan, builder, ShoeLess Konstruction: McGowan isn’t your average builder. Although he owns 40 units in 25 mostly residential buildings around Burlington, and admits the permitting process can be cumbersome, he doesn’t have any serious complaints about it. In fact, McGowan doesn’t mind that the city exercises tough oversight of his work. “I have confidence in the intelligence of our city government,” he says. “I have faith in their vision.”
I have confidence in the intelligence of our city government. I have faith in their vision. Like Cullins, McGowan would like to see the review process streamlined. “I actually like the challenge of trying to figure out messes,” he says. “But for the average citizen, they don’t have the time, the energy or the desire to do that.” McGowan, who’s done a lot of redevelopment in the Old North End and has many low-income tenants, wants the zoning rewrite to encourage more mixed-use development. Specifically, he’d like to see more neighborhood storefronts — cafés, bakeries, coffee shops — which serve residents and attract visitors.
John Ewing, founder and board chair, Vermont Forum on Sprawl: As one of five panelists at this month’s Burlington Business Summit, Ewing is also one of the few people in town who’s been following the zoning rewrite process. That’s not surprising, since he probably knows more than most Vermonters about land-use issues. In 1995, Governor Howard Dean appointed him to chair the Vermont Environmental Board, which he left in 1998 to found the Vermont Forum on Sprawl. Ewing chairs the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board and serves on several other panels that address land-use issues.
So what is zoning? Simply put, it’s the primary tool a city uses to shape development and determine how land is used. The zoning ordinance spells out what can go where, how big it can be, what it can be used for and what it should look like. It’s the law that prevents a gravel pit from being dug next to a senior center, or a fast-food outlet from going up in the Intervale. It determines how many parking spaces a new housing development must provide, and where cell towers can be erected. The city has other planning tools as well to accomplish those aims. Burlington’s master plan spells out the city’s long-term goals and priorities — how much green space we want, what kinds of housing options we’d like to encourage, what types of businesses we want to attract and which
state laws. The rewrite also renames all the zoning districts in the city and clarifies the intent of each district and what kinds of development should occur there. Why is the city rewriting its zoning ordinance? Because the existing one is out of date and hard to navigate, says White. Many of its terms and standards are unclear, inconsistent and even contradictory. More importantly, he adds, it’s not promoting the types of development that Burlington residents have said they want to encourage. Nor is it adequately protecting those aspects of Burlington — open spaces, historic structures, the size and look of neighborhoods — that are vital to preserving the city’s unique character. In some respects, the zoning ordinance deals in specifics. For example, it dictates how tall a new
“envelope” in which a structure can be built. “When you see a building that people are not happy with, zoning doesn’t quite get into that level of detail,” White says. “Even though we have a designreview process with specific issues and characteristics, it can still end up being a big, ugly box.”
historic structures and neighborhoods we wish to preserve. If the master plan is a broad-stroke portrait of the city we want, the zoning ordinance is the roadmap that shows how to get there. Once Burlington adopts its new zoning ordinance later this year, the city will begin revising its existing master plan. Admittedly, this is a bit like putting the cart before the horse. In a perfect world, the city would draft a new master plan and then adopt a new zoning ordinance to implement that vision. Unfortunately, Vermont law requires any municipality that has a master plan to revise it every five years; Burlington’s last master plan was adopted in 2001. What will the new zoning rewrite do? As White in the Planning and Zoning office explains, it’s important that people understand what it won’t do. Most importantly, the zoning rewrite includes no major policy changes in land-use patterns from earlier planning documents. The rewrite revises, clarifies and modernizes the language in the current ordinance, it streamlines the application and review processes, and it updates regulations to comply with recent
building can be and how far it must be set back from the street. The new ordinance won’t change those height or setback requirements, only how heights and setbacks are measured. For historic buildings, the new ordinance gives property owners more specific guidelines for keeping an old building consistent with the character of the neighborhood. The new ordinance won’t make it easier or harder to tear down an old building, White emphasizes. But it will clarify the circumstances under which an old building can be demolished, and spell out what type of building can replace it. Say you own a 40-foot-tall apartment building from the 19th century that sits in a district zoned to allow buildings of 100 feet. If your building burns down, you can’t then turn around and build a modern, 100-foot high rise. The new ordinance preserves the existing historic development pattern in neighborhoods while also making the rules clearer for developers, planners, review boards and the courts. The new zoning ordinance doesn’t dictate details down to the color of mailboxes and types of doorbells. It only determines the
downtown that lets visitors know they are entering the city’s core. The rewrite also addresses parking throughout Burlington. Although the new ordinance won’t change the specific parking conditions at a street-by-street level — metered parking spaces won’t suddenly be converted into two-hour parking, for instance — the new ordinance divides the city into three parking districts. It recognizes that the parking needs in a residential neighborhood differ from those downtown, as White explains. These parking districts won’t affect existing development, only how the parking requirements for new construction are determined. It also spells out when those parking requirements can be waived, such as if a business offers its employees shuttle or bus vouchers. The new ordinance will likely include requirements for bicycle parking as well. Since the city wants to encourage non-motorized traffic, especially by commuters, the rewrite may include mandates for longer-term bike-parking facilities that are more secure and weatherproof. However, these changes have yet to be finalized. Another major goal of the zon-
What kinds of changes will the average citizen notice over time? For one, the new ordinance expands the “transition zone” around downtown to allow for more low-intensity, mixed-use development between residential neighborhoods and the city’s core. This means the ground floors of some buildings a few blocks from downtown could be used for corner grocery stores, bakeries, bookstores or other small businesses. In effect, this creates a “gateway” into
Today it’s much easier for a developer to develop a cornfield than to develop in downtown. Ewing suggests that Burlington expand the boundaries of its downtown corridor to take advantage of assistance from the Vermont Downtown Program, a statewide initiative that helps communities revitalize their commercial districts. He calls for streamlining the permitting process to promote growth in areas that are already built up. “Today it’s much easier for a developer to develop a cornfield than to develop in downtown,” he says. Ewing believes Burlington should abandon its current de novo review permit appeals process, which requires developers to essentially reargue their entire case from square one. He’d like to see it replaced by an on-the-record review, in which courts can review an official transcript of an application hearing. This more formalized process would save developers time and money, he says. Burlington can’t make this change through the zoning rewrite ordinance alone — it would require a change in state law.
Nancy Williams, executive director, Preservation Burlington: As an historic preservationist, Williams knows that cities aren’t museum pieces fixed in time but organic entities that grow to meet their residents’ needs. “How tall is too tall? I’m asked that all the time,” Williams says. “Perhaps after a public debate, we’ll decide, like Boston, to develop a ridge or spine of high rises to accommodate new growth. Or perhaps we’ll decide, like Savannah, Georgia, to build nothing higher than the golden dome of city hall.” Williams prefers buildings that are on a more human scale, “because they fit within our narrow streets. They define us, they give us a sense of place and they allow the sun to pass by.” She worries about Burlington’s residential neighborhoods, and the trend toward lot mergers that could erode the character of desirable neighborhoods such as the Five Sisters in the South End. She hopes the new zoning rewrite doesn’t permit too much infill development.
Why are we packing people into back yards? We’ve got some wonderful neighborhoods, but a lot of them are under stress.” “To some people in the political world, they want to see a lot of extra housing,” she says. “But for other people, they moved to Burlington because it’s a neat place to live, you can have a view, a green back yard and trees. That’ll change if we’re getting too much infill.” Williams would also like to see more UVM students housed on campus, and many student apartments converted back into singlefamily homes. “Why are we packing people into back yards?” she asks. “We’ve got some wonderful neighborhoods, but a lot of them are under stress.” Williams doesn’t believe Burlington has much to fear from its neighbors, as long as it doesn’t try to emulate the strip malls, discount centers, parking lots and chain stores of neighboring towns. Its new zoning ordinance should reflect those values. “Museums, libraries and concert halls are the cultural centers of great cities. You already have them here,” she says. “You have nothing to fear from [other] Chittenden County towns growing up, and much to enjoy and share with them.” m

entist who retired last year from the University of Vermont. Susan, a native of Bethel, Vermont, works in admissions at UVM. She “couldn’t abide the idea” of living outside Burlington, she says. An urban condo seemed an ideal solution. She says she’s been up to see her unfinished new home, and confides, almost sheepishly, “The view is just spectacular.”
March, this plot was essentially a vacant lot. It had been empty since the 1960s, when the Cherry Street neighborhoods were bulldozed for urban renewal. That controversial wave of development made way for buildings like the Burlington Town Center and St. Paul’s Cathedral. The land at the corner of Cherry and Battery streets was the
was looking to partner with a housing developer who could help offset the cost of the land. He was the one who approached Retrovest about the luxury condos — their owners are essentially subsidizing the rest of the project. With tax revenue from the hotel, and a collective annual property tax bill of half a million dollars from the residential portion of the development, the project will “be good for city coffers,” notes CEDO’s Monte. To make the project profitable, the developers realized they’d need to cram a significant number of units into the space. Given the size of the lot, it meant building up rather than out. That’s why the Westlake Residences building is so tall. It was allowed to proceed at that height because of the build-
last remaining undeveloped parcel. It had been owned since 1987 by the Kevin F. Donohoe Company, which also owned the mall. Donohoe sold it in 2003 to the city for $1.8 million. The city then sold it to the various developers of the Westlake project. Building on the site presented a challenge in part because those views are worth so much. Any development would have to generate substantial revenue to make it worthwhile. But the corner is far from the downtown retail corridor, so building a store wasn’t feasible. Another downtown hotel? For years, the city has wanted one, but J. Canning of Westport Hospitality, who originated the new development, says that with the Wyndham next door, a large hotel on that property would be too risky. Canning wanted to build a medium-sized hotel, and
ing behind it — Filene’s. Burlington’s zoning ordinance protects “view corridors” to the lake and the mountains, and specifically mentions the importance of the view from Cherry Street. It requires that buildings taller than four stories along those corridors include up to a 40-foot setback on the top floor. The condo and the hotel have circumvented that restriction. The city allowed the developers to consider all three entities on the site as one building. When considered this way, the “building” abuts the Lakeview parking garage and Filene’s. Since there are no doors or windows on the wall facing Westlake — so the new project isn’t directly blocking anyone’s view — the developers were allowed to build to the altitude of Filene’s. Though it’s hard to tell from Battery Street, the

ing rewrite is to streamline the application and review process and make it easier to navigate. This is of particular interest to developers and anti-sprawl advocates. Deservedly or not, Burlington has earned a reputation as a burdensome place to build. Many developers complain that because the process is so time-consuming and expensive, it’s easier to build outside of town on undeveloped land, a trend that encourages suburban sprawl. White says the city’s goal is to give developers a clearer picture of what they can and cannot do. As he puts it, “Developers want green lights or red lights. What they don’t want are yellow lights.” If the zoning rewrite doesn’t include any significant policy changes but is more administrative housecleaning, why should the average Burlington resident get involved or even care? For one, zoning discussions don’t occur in a vacuum. As the city redraws its zoning boundaries, philosophical questions arise that will need to be addressed when the city revisits its master plan. As White notes, in the process of rewriting this 30-yearold ordinance, “We’ve probably identified and raised more policy issues than we’ve answered.” For example, the zoning rewrite doesn’t rezone the Burlington rail yard, even though this section of the city will undoubtedly be redeveloped sometime in the next 10 to 20 years. Before that area can be rezoned, White says, the city needs to have a public discussion about what it should look like and what kinds of infrastructure, street patterns and open spaces it should feature. Will it be more waterfront commercial property, similar to what lies to its north? More industrial, as it is to the south? Or more residential and mixed use, as it is to the east? In addition, one proposal that was put forward several months ago would have allowed a limited amount of “live/work and work/live” development in certain areas of the city, such as along the Pine Street corridor. This concept, which is popular in larger cities on the West Coast, recognizes the appeal of building residential spaces that incorporate commercial workspace, such as art studios. Although Burlington’s Planning Commission didn’t include that proposal in the current rewrite, White expects the idea to resurface when the master plan comes up for discussion later this year. Finally, White warns that the new zoning ordinance won’t make everyone happy. “This ordinance is going to be a whole lot better than what we have, but it’s not going to be perfect,” he says. “It can’t address everything. It’s a compromise.” White also notes that whatever changes are incorporated into the new zoning ordinance won’t be carved in stone. “People need to understand that this isn’t a one-shot deal,” he says. “It won’t be another 30 or 50 years before they get another crack at it.” m

top of the Westlake Residences is the same height as the pediment atop Filene’s. The zoning ordinance also decrees that buildings in the Central Business District are allowed to rise only 60 feet from street level. But the Westlake development received two 20-foot “height bonuses” — one because they’ve included public parking, another because they’re creating inclusionary housing units in the Loft building on the site. The result: the Westlake Residences building is 100 feet tall. Actually, it’s a little taller, because of how the city measures building height. The city’s ordinance gives a few extra feet to buildings with rooflines that slant back at the top, as the Westlake Residences’ does. Despite the building’s high profile, there is very little record of any public opposition to the project. That seems odd in a city that’s so concerned with its lakefront property. “I was astonished — we all were — that there was virtually no attendance at any of our public hearings,” says Scheuer. “It was pretty much the board talking to the developers,” recalls DRB chair Austin Hart. “For a project this size, I was really surprised about that.” The isolation of the site, far from the residential neighborhoods, might have something to do with the lack of public scrutiny. But it’s true, too, that it was not in the developers’ or the city’s best interests to aggressively publicize the process. Anyone who owned property near the development, or expressed an interest in it, received notice of the public hearings, and they were advertised through the usual channels — in the legal notices of local papers, on the bulletin boards in City Hall, and on the city’s website. But unless citizens were clued in to that process, they probably weren’t aware of the development until the cranes moved in and started lifting steel. By then, it was too late to object. In fact, the project’s massive three-folder file, located in the Planning and Zoning Department, contains just two letters from citizens complaining about the size of the development. One handwritten note, from a writer identified only as “a concerned citizen,” complains
Non-complying structures: A building that doesn’t conform with current zoning regulations, but may have complied with earlier laws.
Lot: A portion or parcel of real property distinguishable from other portions or parcels by deed, description or use, such as on a subdivision plat, record or survey map.
Open space: Publicly or privately owned land that provides people with a visual and/or sensory connection to nature and the natural landscape, and supports healthy ecosystems and recreation without compromising other land uses.
Master plan: Also called the city plan or municipal development plan, it outlines the overarching goals and objectives for the city’s future and is the principal guide that directs land-use policy and decision-making. Under state law, it must be revised and updated every five years.
Overlay districts: Zoning areas that put additional restrictions on land use, e.g., for historic structures, floodways or land set aside in the public trust.
Mixed-use development: The compact development of land, buildings or structures that combine a variety of different uses, such as residential apartments, office spaces, retail stores, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues.
Sprawl: Low-density development in previously rural areas outside defined city or town boundaries and some distance from existing development and infrastructure.
Setback: The distance a structure must be built from a property line.
that the buildings are out of scale with the rest of the neighborhood. Another, from Cathedral Square resident Polly Beebe-Bove, insists that a new development will make crossing the street difficult. “Cars do not always stop at the crosswalk,” Beebe-Bove wrote in 2003, “even when they see you.” But Beebe-Bove has since abandoned her opposition. She now says she’s “at peace” with the project, though she regrets the loss of green space. What little objection there was involved the width of the pedestrian right of way between the Wyndham and the Westlake Residences, and the types of trees to be planted in front of the building. Both issues have been resolved. There has also been some debate about the inclusionary housing requirement. Because the condos are priced at more than 180 percent of the area’s median income, the developers are required to make 25 percent of their units affordable. Scheuer insists that wasn’t possible. The city has therefore allowed Retrovest to include a smaller percentage of affordable units in the Lofts; in lieu of building more, they’re making a contribution to the city’s Housing Trust Fund. The amount has yet to be determined. Scheuer says these minor disagreements took longer to settle than he had hoped; it’s already been nearly five years since J. Canning first approached the city about the site. DRB chair Hart says he sympathizes with the developers. “It was a big project; it was a complicated project,” he says. “And it was going through at a time when there were two unfilled positions in the planning and zoning department . . . it wasn’t the DRB at its most efficient.” But the delays seem to be nearing an end. Scheuer says he hopes to move people into the Westlake Residences in late summer or early fall. The hotel is scheduled to open in September. And Retrovest expects to break ground on the Lofts this spring. Scheuer is optimistic that the community will accept the project in its final form. “I think this building will make a stronger and more attractive visual connection with the waterfront,” he says. “This is going to help frame the views more dramatically.” m
Streetscape: Those elements that give a public street its character, such as building facades, paving, landscaping, awnings, signage and lighting. Underdeveloped: Parcels that are developed less than 50 percent of the average parcel in the existing or allowable density within a zoning district. Urban center: A compact form of development with a dense, mixed core of residential and commercial facilities. Zoning: The delineation of districts and the establishment of regulations governing the use, placement, spacing and size of land, buildings and other built features.

A PERFORMANCE OF “BLESSED” AT CLUB METRONOME
<DANCE>
Hip-Hop Hugger Keeping up with Sarah Cover’s Green Mountain moves
ne scene in “Blessed: The Life of a Hip Hop Dancer” takes place on a busy Manhattan street. Dancers in everyday clothing portray trendy New Yorkers walking briskly to a driving hip-hop beat. They talk on their cellphones with great STORY SEBASTIAN urgency and generally give the impression of productivity and satisfaction. The RYDER illusion is shattered when, for no apparent reason, the dancers suddenly double IMAGE MATTHEW over at the waist like wind-up toys at the THORSEN end of their springs. It’s a humorous moment, particularly for anyone who has “Urban Reach” ever lived in New York City. hip-hop convention, Despite its decidedly urban feel, this January 14 & 15, hip-hop performance was made in Wyndham Hotel, Vermont — by Sarah Cover, a MontBurlington. pelier native and hip-hop dancer-choreogInfo, 233-2505. rapher. Cover formed Tikune Productions last fall and, in December, the company played its inaugural “Blessed” to sold-out houses at Burlington’s FlynnSpace and Club Metronome. Turns out it was a preview of coming attractions. This month, Cover is bringing some of the freshest dance talent from Los Angeles and New York City to Burlington with a hip-hop convention called “Urban Reach.” You might not recognize the names of the featured instructors: Jayson Wright, Tracy Carter, “Tavia” and “Tamara,” to name a few. But you’ve likely heard of some of the celebrities who rely on their choreography, such as Missy Elliot, Mario, P.Diddy, JayZ, Justin Timberlake, LL Cool J and Sean Paul. As a dance teacher at the Flynn Center and at Contemporary Dance and Fitness in Montpelier, Cover makes every effort to stay current in the world of hip-hop dance — she makes frequent trips to New York City and recently studied at the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles.
O
Cover was at a large hip-hop dance convention in New Jersey — the “Monsters of Hip-Hop” — when she got the idea of bringing big-name b-boys and b-girls to Burlington. In a post-show Q&A, she asked Marty Kudelka, one of the world’s most indemand hip-hop choreographers, “What do you do when your students are surpassing you, when they need more than you?” Kudelka told Cover to keep doing what she was doing — improving her own skills and helping her students into situations to better
Fitness in Montpelier at age 7. Five years later, her family moved to Santa Cruz, California, where 12-year-old Cover got her first exposure to hip-hop. It wasn’t in a conservatory. “I watched street dancing in underground clubs, mimicked it, broke it down,” she explains. With one foot in formal training and the other in high tops, Cover has a pedigree and a “street cred” that’s uncommon among hip-hop teachers in Vermont. Cover got her first professional gig in 1991, in a touring Vegas-style revue. She was 18. Three years later, she
at Tequillaville. Luckily, the bar was right around the corner from two of the Big Apple’s music industry meccas: Sam Ash — “one of the few instrument stores that sell samplers,” as Cover puts it, and Manny’s Music. “Producers were always going in and out,” she recalls. This proximity allowed Cover to rub elbows with a wide variety of people in the hip-hop scene — some on their way up, others on their way down. Almost everyone had a story or something to say about the biz, and Cover took it all in.
In the space of four driving beats Cover can turn 360 degrees in a Michael Jackson-like spin, stop on a dime, and then go into a wide hip-hop lunge. themselves. Ultimately, he offered her guidance, advice, connections and the model for a business plan that led to Urban Reach. At 34, Sarah Cover is as fresh-faced and energetic as a finalist in the Miss America Pageant. She doesn’t seem like a hip-hop dancer — until she starts to move, clearly at home with the tricky rhythms and attitude-laden gestures that make hip-hop fun to do but hard to master. Her long dancer’s legs are articulate. In the space of four driving beats of hip-hop music, she can turn 360 degrees in a Michael Jackson-like spin, stop on a dime, and then go into a wide hip-hop lunge, all the while giving off a vibe that would make you think twice about disagreeing with her. Cover began taking jazz and modern dance classes at Contemporary Dance and
found herself living in New York City, picking up moves from a different source. “Dance clubs were the hub of the exchange of dance information,” she explains. “People went to the club, then went back to the ’hood.” Getting connected in the industry wasn’t all glamorous. Cover was lucky enough to become good friends with DMX’s producer, Swizz Beat. She eventually met DMX by serving as a receptionist and cleaning — for free — the recording studio where Swizz and DMX hung out. Being on the fringes of the hip-hop industry was not easy, she confesses. Summing up the more popular roles for women, she says in an imagined voice, “Are you a girlfriend? Groupie? What are you?” To pay the bills, she took a job as a nanny and worked nights as a bartender
After living, dancing, and choreographing on the East and West Coasts, as well as Japan, with acts like DMX, Memphis Bleek and Wu-Tang Clan, Cover felt a longing for the ephemeral “more,” she says. She enrolled at Vermont College, where she took classes in comparative religion and eventually earned a Bachelor’s degree in nutrition. Still not completely satisfied, she went to Europe for six weeks. Upon returning to New York, she made the decision to come home to Vermont. Her timing was fortuitous — Cover left the city on September 9, 2001. To ease the transition, she says, “I put everything into teaching.” She taught at Morrisville’s People’s Academy, the Dance Academy in Stowe, Contemporary Dance and Fitness in Montpelier and Burlington’s
SEVEN DAYS | january 11-18, 2006 | feature 33A Flynn Center. The classes were a big success. Enrollment in her Flynn classes nearly tripled. “Blessed” loosely tells the story of Cover’s own experience in the industry. The company’s 12 women and seven men portray some of the significant people in her life, from teenagers trading moves in a schoolyard to fellow dancers at a music video audition. Although the title of the piece makes clear what style of dance the audience should expect, the piece begins with the depiction of a ballet class. Lindsay Richardson as the young Sarah arrives late on the first day of class and is clearly uncomfortable there. In the following scene she sees other kids doing hip-hop and break-dancing, and wins them over by imitating their moves. In one of the evening’s last dances, Cover herself enters wearing jeans, a “Blessed” Tshirt and a baseball cap that says “b-girl.” She hands an identical cap to the young Sarah. More of a prize than a present, the hat seems to signal the end of one journey and the beginning of another. The two dancers move in easy synchronization. Young Sarah occasionally casts down her eyes modestly. Older Sarah is more buoyant and joyful. She rarely takes her eyes off the young dancer. The relationship is clearly one of affection and forgiveness — Cover’s for her younger self. Barre resident BJ Paulin, 12, is also in the show. He had been taking jazz and tap for two years when he started taking hip-hop with Cover last year. It’s improved his social status. Now, “Other kids don’t make fun of me,” he says. “They think it’s cool.” Comparing her to other instructors who taught him break-dancing, he explains, “Sarah is more footwork.” The class environment is disciplined. “You can’t chew gum in her class. You can’t lean on stuff. She calls you on it if you’re not dancing full out. But you can tell how much she loves what she is doing,” notes Ali Zura of Essex Junction. Adrienne Noordeweir, 47 and mother of four, didn’t perform in “Blessed,” but is a fan of Cover’s classes. She likes the fast pace and says the moves “are put together in an interesting way.” Paulin, Noordeweir and Zura are all excited at the prospect of having first-rate, nationally known hip-hop dance talent in Burlington through Urban Reach. Zura says she wants to overcome “the misconception about white, rural kids doing hip-hop.” Cover says she doesn’t regret for a minute not living in New York or L.A. “Without the support and friendship of the community and love, it’s not real success. We’re here to make a difference in each other’s lives. My destiny wasn’t to be in the city working with people I don’t know. It was to be doing it with Vermonters.” m

their new sitcom “The Loop.” “It’s getting a really prime spot immediately following ‘American Idol,’” Kochalka reports. “That means 30 to 40 million people are likely to hear my little song!” Look for the premiere sometime this spring. The show’s creator, Pam Brady, is a major Kochalka enthusiast. And some of you may be fans of hers; Brady has worked as a writer on “South Park” for years. She also co-penned Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s most recent cinematic effort, Team America. Unfortunately, Kochalka hit some snags during negotiations. “It was like a roller-coaster ride for two straight weeks,” he relates. “The deal was off, then it was on, then off again. Sometimes it flip-
way more money than they initially offered,” Kochalka enthuses. “I have to say, it all worked out for the best. Unless something else happens to make it all go wrong.” Just don’t invite Rupert Murdoch to the negotiation table. It’s been a while since I’ve heard from moody pop-rockers The Static Age, and I was starting to worry. Had they fallen in with the wrong crowd? Well, front man Drew Paley put my mind at ease in a recent email update. Apparently, TSA’s tune “Vertigo” was voted #1 Best New Video on the Fuse network a couple of weeks ago. “We beat out Jamie Foxx, Ludacris and others,” Paley writes. For those not in the know, Fuse is a Canadian station that’s fast becoming the arbiter of teenage cool. THE STATIC AGE You can check out the video at http://www.myspace.com/thestaticage. In other Static news, the band has hired Tim “Alek” Mulley, ex of the New Atlantic, to replace drummer and founding member Bobby Hackney, Jr. Look for the rejuvenated lineup on the road in March.
Vermont is back on the national radar, thanks to the enterprising efforts of Green Mountain musicians. Since the New Year, a few local artists have filled me in on some exciting career developments. Here’s the play-by-play. First up, I’m happy to report that Grace Potter & the Nocturnals have inked a deal with Los Angeles-based Hollywood Records. “They courted us pretty late in the game,” explains Nocturnal drummer Matthew Burr. “At first we wrote them off because of their predominantly sugar-pop roster, but after meeting [label chief] Bob Cavallo and his staff, we reconsidered. Two weeks later, we turned away GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS several other offers and signed the deal at Irving Plaza after one of our holiday performances.” Cavallo cut his teeth in the music biz managing Little Feat, Lovin’ Spoonful and Weather Report. He also produced Prince’s ’80s opus Purple Rain. Wish I had that one on my resumé. While it helped that the band hit it off with Cavallo, the offer itself was the clincher. “It’s being called one of the most advantageous new artist deals of the past Jazz piano whiz Joe Davidian is cookdecade,” Burr relates.

reviewthis JOSHE HENRY, LIFE IS SUCH A FUCKING TRAP
HOUSE HORSE, HOUSE HORSE
(Black Hole Sound Gallery, CD)
St. Albans-based trio House Horse are an organic, post-folk delight. Featuring the multi-instrumental and vocal talents of Joshua Givens, Jedd Kettler and Ben Maddox, this debut EP boasts a gorgeous, indie-goes-rustic sensibility. It’s a rare release that hooks me on the first track. This one did. Gently strummed acoustic guitar and muted electric piano announce the opening of “Glass of Wine.” In an odd production choice, the tune features lightly distorted vocals. The effect only enhances the track’s sinister beauty, however. With a buoyant bass line and cavernous percussion, the song provides a lush, if unsettling, ride
(Self-released, CD)
Long-time Burlington scenesters are probably familiar with Joshe Henry’s oddball oeuvre. Since the mid-’90s, the songwriter has released scads of lo-fi, left-of-center recordings. Conventional wisdom places Henry on the same playing field as mock-rock superstar James Kochalka, but the comparison has never really been accurate. Kochalka’s music, for all its quirks, is childlike and upbeat. Henry’s, on the other hand, hides aggression and alienation behind a screwball façade. His latest, Life Is Such a Fucking Trap, boasts the highest production values of his career. But that’s not to say it isn’t a challenging listen. Opener “Chain Me to the Plaza” finds Henry cooing blackly comedic lyrics over tumbling synth bass and malignant piano. “Chain me to the plaza and leave me there for dead / I’ll sleep alone in a room of mice and dream of discount clothes,” he sings balefully. The tune’s melancholic detachment and ice-cold instrumentation sound like Kraftwerk played on a bargain-basement intercom. “Tar Mouse Trap” is another in a long line of Henry compositions about claustrophobic love affairs. The cut’s spiky piano progression and antagonistic lyrics are certain to delight fans who can’t get enough of his relationship rants. Henry breaks new ground, however, with the excellent “I’ll See You in the End.” The tune eschews the scattershot arrangements and atonal yelping of previous efforts in favor of an inventive guitar riff and some surprisingly touching vocals. The lovely “Instrumental” marries rich synth tones with phased guitars in a dreamy slice of futuristic kitsch. Eat your heart out, Brian Eno. “Love Nasteez” casts Henry as a low-rent Lothario in a misogynistic romp about romance and venereal disease. “Dumpy Sweatpants” is likewise lecherous, its giddy instrumentation conjuring uncomfortable images of R. Kelly let loose on “Sesame Street.” “You can feel the sweatpants tonight / You can feel the sweatpants are too tight / And it always turns from black to white,” Henry enigmatically intones. Is he singing about race relations or the erotic thrills of comfortable outerwear? Only the artist knows for sure. Life Is Such a Fucking Trap may be Henry’s most accessible album to date. While his wacky persona is still very much intact, he’s beginning to show signs of — gasp — maturity. Hear him in a rare live appearance Saturday, January 14, at Burlington’s Radio Bean Café.

through folk rock’s darker avenues. “Work Boots” floats from the speakers in delicate tonal tendrils. Pedal steel guitar intersects with workmanlike drumming and spare electric guitar. Warm, clear vocals sing of skeletons and the summer sun in an intoxicating mix of the everyday and the idyllic. “Drunks need bars like mechanics need cars and romantics need stars,” states the alt-country shuffle “Jesus Song No. 1.” Nifty line, but what makes the song really interesting is an atonal organ lurking in the periphery like a madman. This juxtaposition of traditional song structure and avant-garde elements separate House Horse from other neo-Americana acts. “Yonder Comes a Sucker” boasts an evocative electric guitar figure and hypnotic backing vocals. The tune is a testament to restraint; the empty spaces seem as important as the notes themselves. Although most of the song is subdued, the coda features a cyclical bass and guitar motif loaded with intricate trills. The part is all the more powerful because you don’t expect it. Closer “Paul Klee” sounds like something David Lowery might have written in his Camper van Beethoven days. The tune tells the tale of an aspiring bohemian who falls short of his artistic goals. I’m not sure what it has to do with the legendary expressionist painter, but with music this enticing, who cares? House Horse win big with their patient interplay and smart arrangements. I’d love to hear them on a double bill with Burlington’s ethereal rockers Swale. Who wants to set it up? modq-Sugarbush011106 1/9/06 1:17 PM Page 1

C EXHIBIT “Fake!” paintings on glass and canvas by Liza Cowan; and “Beanie the Singing Dog,” shadow boxes and installation by David Klein. Pine Street Art Works, Burlington. Through February 15.
ARTWORK “Mme. Gauguin with Text” by Liza Cowan
PHOTO Marc Awodey
lifford Irving’s 1969 book Fake! is the biography of Elmyr de Hory, scion of an aristocratic Hungarian family, who liquidated a large collection of Picasso drawings in the chaos of post-World War II Europe. De Hory was a classically trained artist who had been a student of Ferdinand Leger’s before the war, yet galleries were never interested in his work. Times were tough, and, like most fallen aristocrats, de Hory was penniless. So he was forced to sell his family’s cherished folios. Fortunately for him, no one immediately noticed that his supply of “Picassos” was inexhaustible. The “collection” was so vast that he sold thousands of his own drawings signed Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Dufy, Derain, Matisse, Degas, Bonnard, Modigliani and Chagall to gullible art collectors and dealers. Burlington artist Liza Cowan is not so conniving, yet she has mounted a show in a similar spirit entitled “Fake!” In her artist’s statement, Cowan distinguishes copycat paintings such as de Hory’s from her own works on canvas or glass: “Forgeries (real fakes, that is, not fake fakes like mine) intend to deceive.” Cowan’s paintings are intentionally derivative, and the mimicry is masterful. Her 18 “fake
and the simple, line-drawn female figures, floating in primary-color rectangles, gaze back through the glass. The technique differentiates Liza Leger’s chimerical works from her predecessor’s real-world canvasses. Henri Matisse’s 1940 “The Romanian Blouse” serves as the departure for “Liza Matisse’s” offshoot, “The Romanian Blouse, Red.” It’s a portrait of a woman in a puffy green blouse in front of a red wall with decorative, monochromatic line patterns. A black-and-white version of the same work is also on display. The window edges and negative space around the figure are painted black; in contrast, the subject glows in a

Cowan never mentions de Hory, but, like the Hungarian artist, she has closely studied Leger. The painting “Color Field” by her doppleganger “Liza Leger,” demonstrates a thorough familiarity with the French modernist. Her highly original creation is a reverse painting on the glass of a sixpane window. Peer into the window
range of grays. The painting is a Cowanesque nod to old black-andwhite art history books. Glass may be Cowan’s favorite painting surface, but “Liza Gauguin’s” “Mme. Gauguin with Text” is confidently painted on canvas. The simplified drawing style of the portrait is neatly juxtaposed with scrawled, nonsensical mathematical equations in the background. An enigmatic passage from Gertrude Stein’s 1914 book Tender Buttons: Objects, Food, Rooms is
handwritten behind the sitter. The text and equations are unique to Liza Gauguin; they don’t appear in Paul’s original. Cowan isn’t the only one paying homage to art history in this show. So does Marshfield artist David Klein in his “Beanie the Singing Dog” series. His 22 whimsical shadow-box sculptures present the cartoonish clay dog Beanie in a variety of masterpieceinspired mini retables, all roughly 12 by 14 inches. Considering Marcel Duchamp’s penchant for lampooning icons of art history, Klein’s “Dog Descending a Staircase” is especially apropos. As in the former’s 1912 “Nude Descending a Staircase,” images of Beanie’s descent are indicated by undergoing changes of value, from a pale-blue Beanie at the top to a heavy, dark-blue Beanie at the foot of the stair. “The Beanièta,” based on Michelangelo’s “Pièta,” seems to be sliding out of its shadow box. The tangled mass of a powder-blue Beanie mother and son half dangles below the red-framed box. The interior is painted gold, like a medieval icon. Klein’s spoofs and Cowan’s fakes are definitely not intended to deceive. It’s a fair bet that neither will spend their next 30 years on the lam, as did de Hory, feeling “broke, tired, depressed, sick of hiding and always doing something that had to be hidden.” Klein’s and Cowan’s ruses are too original to hide. m

Hard telling what you might encounter
at an exhibition entitled “SapArt.” But at Café Piccolo in Burlington’s Maltex Building this month, the show comprises century-old sap buckets modernized and turned into quintessentially Vermont-y folk/conceptual art. Created by Ellen Howrigan and crafty collaborators, a dozen of the old buckets hang either empty or stuffed with piney branches. All are for sale. The tree-tapping buckets have been flattened and adorned with naively drawn, punched-dot scenes of sugarbush life.

“I was just thinking about how freaky it is when you see ugly people acting happy.”
the straight dope
by CECIL ADAMS
illustration: slug signorino
all worthwhile human knowledge
Dear Cecil, It’s a staple of ghost stories, horror films, spooky TV shows and creepy books. And I suppose for someone with a heart condition, it may well be true. But can a young, healthy person be literally scared to death, without any physical cause? Rebecca S., Seattle For once fiction writers and doctors agree: It’s possible to die of fright, or, for that matter, grief, anger, joy or just about any other intense emotion. Most victims are older, and likely in precarious health to start with, but a few are young — in some cases really young. One British kid, in what is surely a mother’s worst nightmare, was reportedly so freaked out by a visit to the dentist in 1970 that she died of a heart attack at age 4. Sudden death due to stress has been reported throughout history. Physician George Engel, in a 1971 review in Annals of Internal Medicine, notes that in the New Testament the apostle Peter tells Ananias, “You have lied not to man but to God,” whereupon Ananias and later his wife Sapphira fall down dead. For more recent instances, Engel compiled press accounts over a six-year period of 170 deaths due to “disrupting life events.” Three-fifths involved men, commonly 45 to 55 years old; the peak age for women was 70 to 75. In 27 percent of cases, the largest category, the precipitating event involved fear. Examples: “A 63-year-old security guard died after being bound by robbers . . . A woman seeing some teenagers outside her apartment beating and robbing a bus driver died while phoning the police . . . A 35-year-old man accused of robbery told his lawyer, ‘I’m scared to death!’ He then collapsed and died.” As the above may suggest, most of Engel’s cases aren’t that startling. In fact, the most dramatic story I could come up with after hours of rooting around in the journals involved a hated assistant at a college whom the students
pretended to execute: “The assistant was held with his head on the chopping block, eyes bandaged, while one student made the noise of a swinging axe [and] another dropped a warm, wet cloth on his neck. The assistant died instantly.” Yow. But the lack of detail smells to me of urban legend, and others have reached the same conclusion. The typical victim per Engel is a middle-aged male who undergoes a mildly traumatic event and dies within an hour. Not to be callous, but so what? Sudden cardiac death (fatal heart attack, essentially) is common — roughly 450,000 cases per year in the U.S. excluding deaths in hospitals. Eighty-five to 90 percent of the time the victim has heart disease. Sure, in cases linked to an emotional jolt, maybe stress was a factor; still, the guy usually had problems to start with and at most was pushed over the edge. The same can often be said of younger victims of noncardiac sudden death. Engel tells of a 17-year-old boy who collapsed and died at 6 a.m., June 4, 1970; exactly one year previously, at 5:12 a.m., June 4, 1969, his older brother had died of car-crash injuries. Coincidence or something more? Who knows? Fact is, the 17-year-old was done in by hemorrhage following a ruptured aneurysm, a condition arising from birth defect, injury, etc., not fraternal grief. The demise of the 4-year-old dental patient is harder to explain, but she’d been sedated to calm her, and anesthesia in the young is inherently risky. The most interesting scared-to-death cases are what we might call willed deaths. The classic scenario was described by physiologist Walter Cannon in a famous 1942 paper entitled “Voodoo’ Death”: The victim learns he’s eaten taboo food or gets hexed by a sorcerer, panics, and dies of no obvious organic cause. Many such accounts are hearsay, but Clifton Meador reported two well-documented cases in 1992. In the first, a 60-year-old man was brought to the hospital near death after being cursed by a voodoo priest. The attending physician staged a “cure” in which, through sleight of hand, the victim was persuaded he’d vomited up a live lizard, the embodiment of the curse. He soon recovered and lived 10 more years. OK, this mope’s real problem was that, pre-“cure,” he was sure he was a goner, stopped eating, and was wasting away from starvation. Case number two resists such easy analysis. Here the patient was a man in his seventies who’d been diagnosed with incurable cancer and told he had only a few months left. Wanting to live till Christmas, he ate and exercised as directed and walked out of the hospital for the holidays much improved. He was readmitted shortly after New Year’s close to death and expired within 24 hours. An autopsy found the cancer diagnosis had been exaggerated; his physical complaints weren’t enough to kill him. Instead, he and everyone else were convinced he was going to die, so he did. CECIL ADAMS

Munich HHHHH
S HIT FILM Spielberg follows a team of assassins on a quest for revenge.
teven Spielberg made two movies about worlds at war in 2005. One was a forgettable career footnote. The other ranks with his finest films, and it is also the director’s most politically charged, philosophically challenging and bleakest by far. Like Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, the fact-based Munich is set against the backdrop of a historic global conflict. The difference is, the bombs and bloodshed of the Palestinian-Israeli struggle aren’t a thing of the past. By 1972, the two cultures were already old enemies. The crisis drew the world’s attention when armed Palestinians took 11 Israeli athletes hostage during the Olympics and wound up killing them within 24 hours. The director tells the story of the athletes’ capture and ultimate massacre in fragments spaced throughout the movie. This is a shrewd move, as it allows him to save for the end of the film a dark and unexpected implication, which complicates a series of events one would not have imagined could be complicated further. In the wake of the tragedy, as extrapolated by screenwriters Tony Kushner and Eric Roth, Prime Minister Golda Meir convenes top-secret meetings with advisors to weigh her options. She wrestles with their moral ramifications before deciding on a course of action that might in any other context sound like something out of a Chuck Norris adventure. An undercover team of assassins is assembled. Its leader is a respected young member of the Mossad, the government’s intelligence agency, played by Eric Bana. His mission, shadowy officials inform him, is to travel to Europe, track down 11 figures identified as connected to the Olympic terrorist plot, and take them out one by one. The other members of the team are, for the most part,
SHORTS European Jews. With the exception of a getaway driver played by future James Bond Daniel Craig, Bana’s cohorts are as unlikely a death squad as you’ll ever encounter on screen — one is a toymaker-turned-bumbling bomb maker. The other two, a clean-up man and a document forger, could be mistaken for middle-aged accountants. Using information they purchase from a reptilian Frenchman, the five locate and eliminate one target after another, with by now predictable results. Even as Bana’s crew gives Israel its revenge, the other side responds to its losses by launching horrific counterattacks. Civilians are murdered. Government officials are assassinated. Jets are hijacked. Eventually, Bana is forced to face the fact that justice is a concept that doesn’t even come into play here. Blood leads only to more blood, let on an even larger scale. For every member of the Black September terrorist group they kill, six more radical Palestinians emerge to take their place — a phenomenon eerily foreshadowing the boondoggle in Baghdad today. Munich is that rarest of Hollywood products: a motion picture that works as both an illuminating, highly provocative meditation on serious moral themes and a seriously white-knuckle thriller as taut and riveting as any in movie history. The cast is brilliantly understated, the script exceptionally perceptive, and Spielberg has never been better. It’s difficult to conceive of a director bringing more fairness or balance to a dissection of a struggle as long and labyrinthine as is this one. By the time the credits roll, you’re likely to possess a deeper understanding of how it started, and a diminished expectation that it will end any time soon. m

be on hand to answer questions, is nominated for an Oscar. On his last film, The Trials of Henry Kissinger, Gibney collaborated with Eugene Jarecki, the husband of festival director Claudia Becker. Jarecki also has a new project screening at MountainTop, Why We Fight. In King’s time, the Vietnam War was poisoning the nation. Today, the occupation of Iraq is tearing the American soul apart. But Jarecki addresses an even lengthier legacy of combat in his doc, which won a top prize at the 2005 Sundance festival. “It goes to the heart of where we’ve been headed for the past 50 years,” he notes. “But I did not want to work from a liberal viewpoint. I tried to contain my subjectivity and present a range of opinions.” Former President Dwight Eisenhower and his famous warning about “the military-industrial complex” are at the center of Why We Fight, which opens nationwide on January 20. “Ike saw a danger to the republic itself,” Jarecki points out. “He sensed that runaway corporatism corrupts the democratic process we’re supposed to rely on. The public has to look beyond the news and assume they’re not being given the full story. If not, they can sit back, watch TV and watch the oil prices rise.” Other festival films tackle related subjects. BattleGround chronicles three weeks some American filmmak-
ers spent on the frontlines in Iraq. “Winning the Peace” is an 18minute short about an Iraqi, serving as U.S. Marine, who tries to find meaning in the chaos that has overtaken his ancestral homeland. MountainTop, which is co-presented by Human Rights Watch, examines the theme of faith-based extremist ideology in several movies on the schedule: Protocols of Zion, about anti-Semitism; With God on Our Side, which explores this country’s religious right; Iran: Veiled Appearances, which zeroes in on how the ayatollahs have curbed freedom of expression; and “Freaks Like Me,” a meditation on diversity. Similarly, The Education of Shelby Knox focuses on a Texas teen who investigates how the abstinenceonly approach promoted by Christian fundamentalists has failed young people. Recent headlines have indicated that the Bush administration uses high-paid consultants to spread the Republican Party’s version of democracy in the Arab world. At the
Waitsfield gathering, Our Brand is Crisis will look at such strategists-forhire trying to influence elections around the globe. The Future of Food targets the questionable practice of genetic engineering when it comes to what we eat. A community potluck dinner presumably will provide festival ticket-holders with more wholesome edibles.The weekend’s “special screening” of a new documentary must remain a surprise until the last minute, according to Ead, who will only reveal that its director is expected to attend. Live music in the evenings is an additional attraction at the fest. Becker recently purchased the twoscreen Eclipse, so there’ll be some sort of celebratory venue-renaming contest. To cap the five-day extravaganza, Bread and Puppet founder Peter Schumann will offer a fiddle lecture. “I think we’ll have a star-studded crowd,” Ead predicts. “And Sunday night we’re planning to go out with a bang.” m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
The FALCON likes to prey on animals that are small and cute. After one taste of haggis, the RAVEN said “Nevermore.” The bald EAGLE looks dignified, but it steals from ospreys. DUCK sauce is to a Chinese restaurant what ketchup is to a diner. The emperor PENGUIN waddles like us, hence the big box office. Never let a ROADRUNNER hear you call it a cuckoo (which it is). The BLUEJAY and the crow are in the same raucous family. A hanging nest lets the ORIOLE rock its young to sleep. The CARDINAL is the only American bird to be born Catholic. The SEAHAWK has been known to attack mermaids. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS A GAME. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Some can really fly.

ost enlightened people hope to share in the dream Martin Luther King, Jr. once spoke about so eloquently. The MountainTop Film Festival reflects the goals he urged his followers to pursue even if he could no longer lead them: civil rights, justice and peace. The Waitsfield event, running from January 11 through 15 at the Eclipse Theater, uses cinema as a means to understand social and political struggles. But the organizers are also interested in topical fare with a somewhat lighter touch. “We’re trying to mix it up this year,” explains festival manager Kimberly Ead. “We have positive selections, like Favela Rising, about a [music and] dance movement in Brazil. It shows how people can use art to change their reality.” In I Know I’m Not Alone, musician Michael Franti carries an acoustic guitar and a video camera on his quest to create harmony in the Middle East. And Jay Jonroy’s David & Layla is a comedy feature about a Jewish New Yorker who falls for a Kurdish immigrant. Nonetheless, a slate of 15 motion pictures and a few panel discussions with filmmakers will bring some gravitas to the otherwise snow-obsessed Mad River Valley. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, for example, would be a particularly sobering après-ski experience. This documentary by Alex Gibney, who’ll

Landmine and War Victim Assistance in Vietnam, Cambodia and the ThaiBurma Border from » http://www.cpi.org/cpiblog/
Hero of My Lai, Hugh Thompson, Has Died The word hero has been applied so liberally in recent years, that it has largely lost its meaning. There is no other word than heroic, however, to define the actions of Hugh Thompson in the Village of My Lai on March 16, 1968. Mr. Thompson had come across a massacre of Vietnamese civilians in progress at the hands of US forces. Instead of turning away, or worse, taking part in the killing, Mr. Thompson and the men with him that day (Lawrence Colburn and Glenn Andreotta) forced the end of the massacre by turning their weapons on the U.S. soldiers commiting the atrocity. Nearly 350 men, women and children were killed that day and there would have been more if not for this brave act . . . Mr. Thompson recognized that the value of human life transcends borders, or language or culture. He risked his life and his career to do the right thing. For his actions in My Lai in 1968, many escaped certain death, and for this he was a true hero.

Hugh Thompson died from cancer today at the age of 62. May he rest in a well-deserved peace. Posted Jan 6 by James Hathaway

THE POSSIBLE DREAM
After the September 11 terrorist attacks, theater artist Stacy Klein despaired at art’s ability to transform a hostile world. Her solution? The UnPOSSESSED, an adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’ The Adventures of Don Quixote, which marks its 400th anniversary this year. Confronted with a harsh reality, the tale’s grizzled hero, a comically crazy, romantic knight-errant, refuses to relinquish his inspirational hope for a better world. Klein directs fellow members of Double Edge Theatre, an innovative ensemble based on a utopian dairy-farm-turned-sustainable-artist-colony in western Massachusetts. This ain’t your madre’s Man of La Mancha — sheer spectacle replaces spoken text with music, shadow puppetry and trapeze tricks. Expect to see carnie characters wheeling around in huge cow troughs, tilting at all-too-human windmills.
‘THE UNPOSSESSED’ Thursday through Saturday, January 12-14, Flynn Space, Burlington, 8 p.m. $22. Info, 8635966. http://www.doubleedgetheatre.org/ unpossessed.html ‘DON QUIXOTE’ DISCUSSION Wednesday, January 11, Fletcher Free Library, Burlington, 7 p.m. Free. Info, 865-7211.

scene@BIGGER THAN ALL OF US FLYNNSPACE, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 7:30 P.M. They laughed. They cried. They experienced the “magic” of live performance. They kvetched about audience members who cough, talk, or block the view. And those were just the people on stage. In Bigger Than All of Us, both actors and observers explored the many-layered thing that is theatergoing. Conceived by Joan Robinson, an 11-year vet of the Flynn Center’s education department, and Robin Fawcett, a theater-arts teacher for FlynnArts and CVU High School, the production was part of the Flynn’s “25/75” anniversary celebration. Robinson and Fawcett asked nearly 100 community members — ages 4 to 85 — questions such as “Why do you go to performances?” and “What is one of your earliest memories of performing?” Then they wove these responses into an aural tapestry that seamlessly meshes perspectives from both sides of the curtain. When the 11 actors first appeared, one by one, under individual stage lights, they each uttered inexplicable, mantra-like phrases. This isn’t going to be any fun. You having a nice day? I hope he doesn’t ask me. Breathe! As the show continued, the actors shifted in and out of characters and back and forth in time: performers pretending to be performers, or spectators; recalling when they first sang, danced, told a story, acted — or watched someone else doing it. In the process, the phrases gained context through the gradually revealed memories of each actor. And several times, those expressions reminded us of the overarching theme: Witnessing a stage production can be joyously transporting; being part of the cast, even more so. Wisely, Robinson and Fawcett took it further, also exposing the foibles of show biz: Actors can have stage fright, forget lines or put on a bad show. Audience members can be inconsiderate and annoying. Cleverly directed and poignantly performed, Bigger Than All of Us confirmed that the collective experience is big, mostly wonderful, and is oh-so-humanly us.

PATRIOT DATE
Moral certainty may be satisfying, but Bill T. Jones believes you can have too much of a good thing. For 20 years, the contemporary dance titan has produced dynamic pieces that fuse theater with political and moral concerns. His latest creation, Blind Date, is particularly timely: The work draws from “Patriotism,” Japanese author Yukio Mishima’s short story about an officer and his wife who commit ritual suicide after a failed coup d’état. Blind Date uses music, dance, video and spoken verse to expose the nationalistic fervor and misguided wars that follow from unquestioning patriotism. Those who attend a Saturday discussion of Mishima’s story can get discounted tickets to Sunday’s Flynn show.

MAKING NOTES
Jeffrey Chappell stands out among national-caliber piano soloists with Green Mountain connections. The Washington, D.C.-based composer and pianist has, as the Belgian newspaper Le Soir notes, “… mastered [his technique] to the point that one forgets it. The heart rules the fingers.” Chappell is a regular on the Capital City Concerts schedule, always playing in ensembles. When he has played solo, “The audiences have literally responded by leaping to their feet and showering him with ‘bravos’ and thunderous applause,” says series artistic director Karen Kevra. This weekend, Chappell dazzles with sonatas by Beethoven and Chopin, Gabriel Faure’s “Ballade in F Sharp Major” and his own award-winning composition, “American Sonata,” on a Steinway concert grand.

Enthusiasts of chilled elixirs don’t need to head to Sweden to sample authentic ice-bar ambience. The Rusty Nail’s frosty outdoor addition took shape in late December from 20 tons of ice, under the chisels of Pennsylvania-based carving company Sculpted Ice Works. The cutters swing through again this week to spruce up the joint and demo their skills. The eight-piece Portland, Maine funk band Sly Chi headlines. On the refurb list: a frozen throne, ice tables, sculptures and a liquor luge, along with the 25-foot bar itself. Can’t catch Wednesday’s tribute to frigid fabrication? A 20-sculptor carve-off takes place at Stoweflake Mountain Resort the following day, as part of Stowe’s Winter Carnival.

L RE A
JANUARY 12-18
ARIES
(March 21-April 19): At New York’s Museum of Modern Art, I brought my face to within a few inches of Vincent van Gogh’s painting, “The Starry Night.” It looked delicious. I wanted to kiss it. Its stars were throbbing and voluptuous. The night sky shimmered with currents of spiraling energy. In the foreground, the cypress tree flared like a shadowy flame. I could also see that the artist had been less than thorough in applying his paint. Especially on the edges, but also in the middle of the painting, slivers of untouched canvas showed through. Fierce, innocent, nourishing, reckless, unfinished, this priceless work drank my attention for a long time, constantly refreshing my eyes with what seemed to be its ceaseless movement. It was exactly what I wish you to be like in the coming week, Aries.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Hundreds of years ago, the Roman Catholic Church conjured up the concept of “Limbo.” It was supposedly a murky realm between heaven and hell that housed the souls of babies who died before they were baptized and righteous people who lived before the time of Christ. Later “limbo” also came to have a non-religious meaning, referring to the state of uncertainty experienced by a person who is waiting for a resolution or decision. Last November, the Church formally retired the concept of Limbo, declaring it to be an outmoded hypothesis that should be hereafter ignored. In the coming weeks, Taurus, you will have an excellent opportunity to escape your own personal version of limbo. It’s time to declare yourself a master of the torturous lessons you were called on to learn while stranded there.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): I intoned a Hindu prayer and did a sacred Sufi dance as I stood inside a Native American medicine wheel and carried out parts of a Buddhist ritual while holding a Wiccan wand and Christian cross. My intention was to seek divine favor in helping you open to the possibility that you can expand your spiritual life considerably in the coming months, especially if you go exploring for inspiration outside of the beliefs and rituals that have nourished you up until now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): The British government recently legalized civil partnerships for gay couples, giving them the same rights and privileges as married heterosexuals. I suggest you regard this breakthrough as a vitalizing symbol for what you yourself can accomplish in the coming weeks. Unions that you never thought possible will be within your power to create. Previously unimaginable connections will become normal and natural. You will have the potential to be a catalyst, mediator, and lubricant for a host of fresh combinations.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22): On behalf of Saturn, the Lord of Karma, I hereby invite you to take advantage of a very ripe opportunity to make substantial reductions in your debt — your karmic debt, that is, not your financial debt. (Though I have it on good authority that lowering your karmic IOU will have a ripple effect that will ultimately alleviate the struggles with money you might be suffering from.) But to return to the main point: This is one of the best times ever for fixing the mistakes you made in the past, atoning for the pain you have caused, and correcting the imbalances that resulted from your careless behavior.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’ve discovered a new way to stimulate my psychic powers. I simply eat large amounts of wasabi, the bracing horseradish-like paste that’s traditionally served with sushi. Its astringent potency seems to crack open an inter-dimensional wormhole in my brain through which news of the future pours in. After meditating on the astrological factors coming to bear on you, I ingested the stuff to give my divinations some extra oomph. Here’s what I came up with: You need the equivalent of the wasabi approach right now — some gentle shock, self-administered, that will extend the range of your normal perceptions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): While riding my mountain bike out in the wilds, I passed an oak tree growing on a hillside. On the slope below it, one of the tree’s thick roots poked up through the ground for about 3 feet, then re-

entered the earth. I immediately thought of you and your imminent future, Libra. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, your roots will soon be exposed, giving you a vivid glimpse at what has been going on below the surface all this time. The foundations of your life, which are normally hidden from view, will be at least partially open to your exploration and study.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Balding, 5 feet tall and heavy-set, 61-year-old Scorpio actor Danny Devito is not renowned as an embodiment of male beauty. That’s what helped make his appearance on an episode of the old TV show “Friends” so amusing. He played a striptease artist dressed as a cop who came to entertain Rachel, Monica and Phoebe. The spectacle of him dancing provocatively as he removed his clothes was appalling, fascinating, funny and ultimately harmless. I predict you will have at least two experiences that fit this description in the coming week.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In an interview with The New York Times, the Dalai Lama spoke of how he deals with sexual feelings. As a monk who has taken a vow of celibacy, he said he’d prefer not to experience that appetite at all. “If you itch, it’s nice to scratch it,” he mused, quoting the Buddhist teacher Nagarjuna. “But it’s better to have no itch at all.” This counsel applies to a wide variety of situations, including one that will be especially important for you in the coming months. I suggest that you take an inventory of your needs and urges and compulsions, and try to dissolve those that have little meaning or purpose for you in the big picture of your destiny.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The San Francisco 49ers football team recently endured one of its worst seasons ever. But as the losses piled up, head coach Mike Nolan continued to profess an optimism that seemed deluded to most observers. After an especially galling defeat in the team’s 13th game, however, he finally confessed he was a little down. In
response, San Francisco Chronicle sportswriter Ray Ratto exulted, “At least Mike Nolan isn’t calling a chemical fire the Aurora Borealis anymore.” I bring this up, Capricorn, because in recent months you have now and then suffered from the reverse problem: It’s like you’ve been gazing at the Aurora Borealis and theorizing it’s a chemical fire. But this glitch in your attitude is now becoming untenable. Your pretty good luck is evolving into damn fine blessings. It’s time to acknowledge the beautiful truths in all of their glory.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): German scientist Juergen Zulley specializes in research about the hours we spend unconscious lying in our beds every night. He has come to the conclusion that a lack of sleep can make you stupid, fat and sick. It weakens your memory, decreases a hormone that helps control your cravings for food, and undermines the healthy function of your heart, digestive system and circulation. I would add that sleep deprivation reduces the time you spend dreaming, which compromises your mental hygiene. All of these consequences would be major problems for you in the next two weeks, Aquarius. If anything, you need to sleep more than usual. I implore you to get at least eight hours a night. More would be better.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Officials in the California coastal city of Malibu recently updated their manual on emergency preparedness. In the event of a tsunami, they advised the public, surfers should not try to ride the tidal waves, but should flee inland. While that might be good counsel from a literal perspective, Pisces, on a metaphorical level I think you should do the opposite in the coming week. As the tidal wave of opportunities flows toward you, don’t run away. Instead, do your best to surf it as far and as long as you can.

Dear Lola, I am a slave in a BDSM relationship. I do everything for my Master, including household chores and errands. I didn’t mind at first because being owned by Him felt so amazing. But then He stopped paying much attention to me in the way I want. I’ve talked to Him about this, but nothing has really changed. Lola, where do you draw the line between giving unselfishly out of love and wearing oneself out for no good reason? Bummed in Brandon Dear Bummed, There’s absolutely nothing wrong with expecting to receive something — attention, care, concern — in return for your giving. While you don’t want to be keeping score all the time, maintaining a healthy relationship means making sure both parties are getting what they need. Paying attention is particularly important in BDSM, where responsible domination can degenerate into plain old bullying, and consensual submission can slip into victimization. And this advice goes double, at least, in a Master-slave situation. It sounds like yours is no longer working. Stop beating yourself up for being a bad lover and find someone who appreciates your gifts. Love, Lola

So, if you're looking to add twice the love to your home, then we may be the purr-fect fit! To give you a few more details about us, let me tell you about me, Ebbie, and my friend, Rocky. I am calm, shy, mellow, social, attentive, and gentle. I am a kind-hearted, mild-mannered girl who might startle easily at first. I am very affectionate though and just need someone with lots of patience and a big heart. See, now that wasn’t so hard for me to do. Whew! Now for Rocky, the outgoing, social butterfly. I like to explore a bit, but after I’m done I’ll come right over for your attention. I also like to roll around on my back when I really want your attention and love. No holds barred here! I’m also really playful and love batting around cat toys. A home for us together with gentle and respectful kids 5 and up would be ideal!
