FARMERS’ MARKET PERFORMANCE ART The Montpelier Farmers’ Market has all of your usual stuff. Vegetables, meats, plants, bread, cheese and crafts. However, there’s something new at the market this month. Performance art! I first noticed the person last week when he/she was standing on a platform wrapped in a large off-white sheet and mask just peeking out of their wrapping. It kind of freaked my kids out at first but then they became curious about who it was and why they were standing there. The artist moves every once in a while but is completely unresponsive to the people going by. The reaction from the other folks at the market seems to have varied from being startled when they first see it to being annoyed by it because it made them uncomfortable to laughter to photographing the person while their kids stand along side of the artist. Plus, a lot of people just walk by without noticing it or just purposefully ignoring it. The people who seem the most perplexed by it are the out-of-towners who thought they’d go away for the weekend to a quaint Vermont town. There never was anything like this on Newhart.

AD BUSTER Rich Tarrant has been running a series of TV ads criticizing Bernie Sanders’ position on health care. One point he attempts to make is that the British have a much higher risk of dying from cancer, as opposed to Americans. However, a recent article in The Journal of the American Medical Association seems to contradict his statements. I refer you to the following article: “Disease and Disadvantage in the United States and in England” (James Banks; Michael Marmot; Zoe Oldfield; James P. Smith). It clearly refutes Tarrant’s claims, and concludes, in fact, “Based on selfreported illnesses and biological markers of disease, U.S. residents are much less healthy than their English counterparts and these differences exist at all points of the SES distribution.” In other words, Americans have a higher mortality rate from a variety of diseases. I wonder how Mr. Tarrant justifies the statements he makes in his TV ads. Perhaps he should change them to reflect the truth. Richard M. Shuldiner BRATTLEBORO

BELLY DANCE Indeed it would be just stupid to ask a woman to leave an establishment just for being pregnant, as Red Square owner Martti Matheson pointed out [“Knocked Up and Knocked Down,” July 5]. He is right. But it happened. While dancing and enjoying the music of Mamadou on the open outdoor patio, I was one of many 3x6-VTBrewersFest070506

eyewitnesses who was flabbergasted to see Luna approached and then escorted outside of the ropes of the patio by a bouncer. When later questioned by myself and a small group of concerned bar-goers if kicking her out was fair, necessary or legal, the same bouncer replied, “I am the manager. And I asked her to leave because she is a liability. I can kick anyone out for any reason.” Fair enough. I could understand his “concern” if she were shooting tequila shots and stumbling all over herself. But she was not. Or if she were cornered on a crowded, indoor dance floor. But she was not. She was not drinking, and she was dancing surrounded by friends in a nearly empty, outdoor dance floor on a warm summer Burlington evening, enjoying an artist who could only be seen at Red Square that night. If Red Square has “absolutely” never had a policy barring pregnant women in the bar — before 10 p.m. or after — perhaps the owner should communicate his policies more clearly to his staff. I find it disappointing that such a popular establishment would deny that the incident happened rather than just apologize for humiliating a patron and alienating a small community that came to enjoy the music. On behalf of the bouncers and staff at Red Square, I am not discounting that it is their job to maintain a safe environment, but on this occasion, there was no need to remove this woman from

the bar. It was pure discrimination for an unknown reason. Brianna Graves BURLINGTON

RED BAITING Re: Ken Picard’s “Knocked Up and Knocked Down” [July 5]” — the headline is as incredibly sexist and stupid as Ainaka being forced to leave Red Square. I was there that evening with Ainaka and Simone. She was indeed forced to leave the bar — by several security guards . . . Ina Thorner BURLINGTON

TRUTH SQUAD After the Seven Days story about the 9/11 Truth march on Church Street [“Activists Protest Guantanamo and 9/11 Report,” June 28], Marc Estrin’s follow-up letter [July 5] featured some important points that seriously question the plausibility of the commonly accepted version of 9/11. Apparently there’s a growing movement that agrees. According to a recent Zogby poll, 42 percent of Americans now believe our government and the 9/11 commission “concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11 attacks,” and that “there has been a cover-up.” Considering the profound impact 9/11 has had on all of our lives, we ought to demand an authentic investigation beyond the hollow sham the 9/11 commission provided, with their executive director from the Bush Administration

choosing all evidence and witnesses. The absence of relevant inquiry should make us all wonder what they are hiding. We may not know with certainty that a conspiracy within our own government orchestrated 9/11, but it’s easy to see who benefited: the president and the neoconservatives who dominate his administration. Check the neoconservative philosophy, deeply influenced by political scientist Leo Strauss, who believed in secrecy, dispensing the “noble lie” to a public that can’t handle the truth, and the need for an enemy,

so a cohesive populace unites behind a government that can gather power a free society normally wouldn’t tolerate. 9/11 enabled that. They have an enemy and perpetual war, Constitutional Amendments 1, 5, 6, 8 and 14 are gone, and the president trumps law by invoking the “war on terror.” Something to consider. Robert Adams FLETCHER

SUSPENDING DISBELIEF Fred Hill’s dismissal of the people who are skeptical of the official

story of 9/11 as “conspiranoia” [July 12] merits comment. As difficult as it is for Americans to consider the idea that some part of their government could do such a thing, it appears necessary to examine the evidence. It is extremely disturbing, but rational, to do this. There is an accumulating body of evidence that the government was involved. A group of university professors say that the official story scientifically could not have occurred. This group, “Scholars for 9/11 Truth” (www.st911.org/) includes engi-

neers, physicists, mathematicians and theology professors. Questioning the official 9/11 story is not “nutty.” Questioning what happened on 9/11 requires courage, and intellectual honesty to examine the facts and avoid mindlessly accepting the official story as a “sacred myth.” Robert E. Griffin FORTY FORT, PA

ON SCHEDULE The Vermont Agency of Transportation would like to apologize to the readers of Seven Days and the residents of South Burlington for accidentally last week providing your newspaper with outdated information. For your story “VTrans & South Burlington on Collision Course Over Train Whistles” [July 12], VTrans provided your reporter with an outdated train schedule, and in an interview told him that although trains do occasionally use the tracks during the early morn-

ing hours, it was not an everyday occurrence. The reality is that a freight train currently does make a daily early morning run. Depending upon the size of the train, weather and other issues, a train that originates in Burlington passes through South Burlington sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. each morning. The tracks in this area are operated by Vermont Railway. VTrans neither runs the trains nor sets their schedule, which can change at the operator’s discretion. Still, we here at VTrans should verify our information. We apologize for misleading both your readers and South Burlington residents, and assure them that we will work diligently with their community to reestablish the quiet zones.

Zicconi is the communications director, and Hosking rail program manager at the Vermont Agency of Transportation

CORRECTION: Last week’s cover story about localvores stated that Ben Gleason’s grain farm in Bridport “appears to be” Vermont’s only wheat source. Pat McGovern of the Upper Valley Localvores sets us straight: “John Melquist of Trukenbrod Bakery makes Vermont Anadam and wheat breads that are from ingredients grown within 100 miles of the Upper Valley . . . Jack and Anne Lazor of Butterworks Farm (Westfield) grind flour from their own wheat and grind cornmeal which is available through many of the co-ops . . . Great River Farm in Windsor makes a beautiful pastry flour and rye flour from their own grain, but sadly, it is not sold locally. It is sold through a Midwestern broker. It is true that there are not many wheat growers . . . but we haven’t dwindled to one!” We apologize for giving the wrong impression and appreciate Pat’s clarification.

RUTLAND — Got homeless clients? Then you need to divulge their personal information. That’s the gist of a new state policy that took effect July 1. But the women who run a Rutland shelter aren’t buying it. “We said no a year ago, we said no a month ago, and we’re saying no now,” says Sharon Russell, executive director of the Open Door Mission. Last year, the 40-bed shelter, soup kitchen and thrift store in downtown Rutland provided 37,000 meals and 14,000 bed-nights to its clients, many of them homeless veterans. The newly implemented, staterun database, known as the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), has been in the works at the federal level since 2003. It’s designed to track recipients of federal benefits in order to improve the services offered to the poor, identify demographic trends in homelessness, and prevent duplicate counting of people who are served by more than one shelter or social-service agency. Shelters have been providing aggregate data about their homeless populations for years, but this is the first time the state has asked them to provide raw data on their clients. The Vermont Agency of Human Services is asking shelters to electronically transmit a client’s name, gender, date of birth, Social Security number, race, ethnicity, veteran status, disability condition and prior zip code of residence. Shelters that refuse to comply

data. Both fear that their clients will stop coming to the shelter. Russell says the Rutland Open Door Mission served 28 veterans last week, including two Iraq War vets and a retired Army colonel who served in the White House during the Nixon and Ford administrations. “A good many of these folks” have post-traumatic stress disorder, she says. “We’re the end of the road for them. The last thing many of them have is their own privacy. I’ve worked with these people and earned their trust. I will not give that away.” Steve Gold, deputy secretary for the Vermont Agency of Human Services, explains that the goal of HMIS is simply to get a more detailed and accurate assessment of what’s going on with Vermont’s homeless trends so that the state can better advocate for federal funding. Currently, Vermont receives more than $2 million in HUD funds, which are distributed through AHS. Gold insists that his agency is acutely sensitive to the privacy concerns of shelter administrators and their clients. He explains that the web-based data transmission system includes an encryption device and “firewall” that prevent state and federal workers from viewing personal

run the risk of losing their funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Critics of HMIS, including Russell and her sister, Donna Baccei, argue that the information is too invasive of their clients’ privacy. Russell says the Rutland Open Door Mission will forego the money it gets from the state — about $40,000 of its $230,000 annual budget — rather than reveal that information. Baccei, who works as the shelter’s veterans’ liaison, has vowed to resign before she will turn over that

identifying information. “Homeless people are a particularly vulnerable population in the sense that there is obviously a significant stigma attached to being homeless,” Gold says. “I can tell you that we absolutely respect the concerns of people about putting that kind of information into an electronic information system.” Not all shelter administrators around the state are opposed to the new system, Gold notes; in fact, he argues that some see it as a way of justifying their funding and ensuring an unduplicated count of Vermont’s homeless

population. Gold also doesn’t believe that the data-collection system violates a new state law aimed at reducing the use of Social Security numbers on government documents. However, he says that his agency will continue to work with the various providers to find another way of ensuring an unduplicated count, rather than compiling names and Social Security numbers. The Committee on Temporary Shelter, Chittenden County’s largest homeless shelter and way station, reports directly to the feds, and is not subject to the new policy. COTS has been gathering personal information on its clients since 1989, says Executive Director Rita Markley. But the organization only provides the state and federal government with aggregate data, not the raw data on each client. Late last week, Markley sent an email to her staff and other social service providers in Chittenden County informing them that Chittenden County providers will not be required to turn over their clients’ personal data in order to receive homeless grants from the state’s general fund. However, each member of the Chittenden “Continuum of Care” will still need to enter data

We said no a year ago, we said no a month ago, and we’re saying no now. SHARON RUSSELL, OPEN DOOR MISSION

into a privately run database, which HUD requires. Although she’s not directly affected by the new rule, Markley still takes issue with it. “Imagine us asking a paranoid schizophrenic who’s off his meds if we can have permission to send his raw data over the Internet,” she says. For her part, Russell says she won’t change her position until she receives a formal notification from the state that they don’t need the raw data on her clients. She points to the signs in her shelter, which read, “We label cans, not people.” m

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT Vegetarian or meat lover, the animal-rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) knows how to get your attention. Last week, two PETA activists lay on large trays wrapped only in cellophane on the corner of Pearl and Church Street Burlington. The bare-all duo wasn’t trying to catch some rays on the sidewalk; they were mimicking packages of meat in this pro-vegetarian demonstration. Campaign coordinator Chris Link passed out pamphlets with information about animal treatment in slaughterhouses. The aim of the demonstration — one of several Link is staging up and down the East Coast — is to point out that all animals are made of the same flesh and bones and have the same feelings as human beings, and that eating meat is like eating a corpse. “Meat package” Amy Jannette, 19, and her companion looked uncomfortable on their small trays — emphasizing the discomfort of animals crammed into crowded cages before they are slaughtered and sold at grocery stores. The packages were labeled with oversized price stickers reading “FLESH: Billions of animals are abused and violently killed because you eat meat. Get help!” Jannette stressed that people need to “really think about

what ‘meat’ is,” and that vegetarianism is a healthier choice for both animals and people. The demonstration drew mixed reactions. One local vegetarian, on a break from work, volunteered by holding a sign that read “MEAT IS MURDER.” But not everyone was convinced. A car full of teenaged boys slowed down, and its passengers screamed “Cheeseburger!” out the windows. MOLLY SHAKER

HOMELAND SECURITY

Vermont Ranks Lowest on List of Potential Terrorist Targets BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — Vermonters can rest easy knowing that international terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda are less interested in targeting key sites in the state than in vital infrastructure elsewhere in the country — such as Old McDonald’s Petting Zoo in Woodville, Ohio; the Kangaroo Conservation Center in Dawsonville, Georgia; and the Amish Country Popcorn Factory in Berne, Indiana. On July 11, the inspector general for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security released a report assessing his agency’s progress in compiling a National Asset Database, which is used to determine each state’s funding for federal antiterrorism grants. On the state-by-state list of “critical infrastructure and key resources,” Vermont ranked 50th, with only 70 vital assets. However, the inspector general raised serious questions about how sites are evaluated and prioritized. In fact, the report reveals that Indiana has 8591 vital assets, more than any other state and 50 percent more than New York, which has 5687. California had 3212 assets, which is fewer than seven other states including

Nebraska (3457) and Wisconsin (7146). The entire list of critical infrastructure and key assets is not public information. The database includes many sites of obvious strategic or historic importance — 335 petroleum pipelines, 178 nuclear power plants, 140 defense facilities and 224 national monuments and icons. But the database also includes numerous “unusual or out-of-place” assets, such as 127

Among the “vital” national assets on the list: the Groundhog Zoo in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. gas stations, 163 water parks, 1305 casinos and 4055 shopping malls. Among the oddest and most inexplicable “vital” national assets listed: the Groundhog Zoo in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania; the Trees of Mystery in Klamath, California; “the mall at Sears”; “the DPW landfill”; and “beach at

end of street.” A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security defended the National Asset Database, calling it “a valuable tool.” No word yet on whether the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream plant made the cut. m

Vermont to Dial Up IP-Based System for Emergency 911 BY KEN PICARD

MONTPELIER — Vermont is upgrading its emergency 911 technology from the traditional telephone network to a system that transmits voice, data and graphics using Internet-protocol, or IPbased technology. The new approach will greatly improve Vermont’s e me rge ncy - re s p o ns e capabilities, eventually allowing 911 operators to receive and send video images from the scenes of car accidents, locate callers who are lost or dialing from Internet phones, and alert entire communities about a natural disaster or terrorist attack. When the next-generation technology is fully operational, expected by the end of this year, Vermont will be first in the nation to have a statewide, IP-based 911 system. Each year, Vermont’s 911 system receives about 250,000 calls to its 10 call centers around the state, according to Jim Lipinski, information technology manager for the Vermont Enhanced 911 Board. The new system will not only give the call-taker numerical data — the caller’s name, address and phone number — but also maps showing the nearest police, fire and EMS stations, hospitals and other geographic features. The new IP-based system, Lipinski says, will be able to reroute calls to other parts of the state if one region is experiencing unusually heavy call volume. A good example was during the 2004 Phish concert in Coventry, he recalls. “While Phish was going on, there was probably a large number of 911 calls being generated in that area that all went to Derby. Yet for the rest of the state, it was business as usual and [other 911 operators] weren’t able to help out,” Lipinski says. Once the new system is in place, he notes, “We can do more with less.” Looking to the future, “the sky’s the limit,” Lipinski adds. For example, the system will be able to locate VoIP users; currently, VoIP customers must register their addresses with their services providers. But that information is not automatically updated if the customer moves. In addition, 911 callers will eventually be able to send photo or video images from their cellphones directly to the 911 operator, who could then forward those images in real time to police, fire or hospitals. Another benefit of the new technology, Lipinski adds, will be a statewide emergency notification system that could be used in the event of widespread threats to public health and safety, such as a flood or accident at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. “If there were a tanker with hazardous chemicals that flipped over on the Interstate, we could then bring up our maps, draw a 1-mile radius around the incident, and have the system pull up every phone number in that circle and initiate a phone call,” he adds.

While Phish was going on, there was probably a large number of 911 calls being generated in that area that all went to Derby. Yet for the rest of the state, it was business as usual and [other 911 operators] weren’t able to help out. JIM LIPINSKI Lipinski points that out although the new technology is an IP-based platform, 911 calls will not travel over the Internet, as the name might suggest, but over a private, closely managed network that uses Internet software and protocols. That system is being set up and maintained by MicroDATA GIS, a private contractor based in St. Johnsbury. In recent years, Vermont’s enhanced-911 system has been managed by Verizon Communications, Inc., whose contract expires at the end of this year. Serra emphasizes that the decision to switch to MicroDATA GIS was based on a competitive bid process and had nothing to do with recently published reports about the possible sale of Verizon’s landline network in Vermont. “Verizon has practiced good corporate citizenship, and we’ve had a very good relationship with them over the years,” Serra adds. “But MicroDATA had a system most closely matching our desires and needs.” The Green Mountain State has long been on the cutting edge of 911 technology, Serra notes. In 1998, it was the first in the nation to implement a 100 percent digital enhanced-911 system, around the same time that the cellular phone industry was transitioning from analog to digital technology. The new enhanced-911 system, which costs about $3 million, will be paid from the Universal Service Fund surcharge on all telecommunications bills. m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Fanatics Far And Near

E

ver notice how religious fanatics appear to only prosper in countries other than one’s own? A life spent viewing American TV news has taught yours truly that religious fanaticism tends toward success in countries with more deserts than ski slopes and a severe lack of McDonald’s and Pizza Huts. Or so we’d like to think. Homegrown religious fanatics may be just as fanatical as their foreign, nonAmerican counterparts, even if they look so American on TV. They wear shirts and ties and suit jackets like “normal” people. And they eat hot dogs and Big Macs, and even watch baseball. Take our president, George W. Bush. Remember how, six years ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Florida recount and installed a certain successful Vietnam War draft-dodger as president? Many crossed their fingers and thought, “No big deal, One guy can’t f**k up the whole country that badly, right? There’s still a Congress!” Live and learn, eh? This week, as the U.S. Senate is finally debating legislation allowing federal funding of stem-cell research, Mr. Bush is demonstrating his commitment to the ageold political principle: “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.” Our president is steadfast in his determination to pay back the U.S. religious-fanatic block that helped elect him . . . twice. Despite the fact that a strong majority of Americans and members of Congress support stem-cell research, Mr. Bush swears he will veto the bill. Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Americans such as Sen. Arlen Specter, the Pennsylvania Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, and millions more would benefit from expanded research into embryonic stem cells from cell lines that otherwise would be destroyed. The prospects for relieving human suffering from disease and paralysis are almost boundless, but Mr. Bush owes America’s “Religious Right.” Sen. Specter, who is engaged in his own personal battle with Hodgkin’s disease, stood on the Senate floor on Monday and compared America’s current president to the popes and kings who opposed Columbus and locked up Galileo. Three months ago the new Roman Catholic pope, Benedict XVI, held his first Vatican-sponsored religious conference since replacing Pope John Paul II, who died last year. Question: What was the topic? Are you sitting down? Answer: the Crusades! Apparently, the previous pope’s public request back in 2000 for a “pardon” for the Crusades did not sit well with a number of Vatican higher-ups, including the Italian Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the current Pope. Pope Benedict’s recent Crusades conference in Rome highlighted the “noble aim” of the Crusaders who fought and died to reclaim the “Holy Land” for Christianity! Then, earlier this month, the Vatican’s second big conference of the year, in Valencia, Spain, focused on — you guessed

Giovanna and Cole say, “Lunch or brunch at Leunig’s is a fountain of youth!”

it — stem-cell research. What a coincidence! The Pontifical Council for the Family argued that Catholic scientists who engaged in stem-cell research should be excommunicated. Council leader Cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo compared stem-cell research to abortion. And in the eyes of the Vatican, abortion is the equivalent of murder. Which brings us to the leading candidate for the Vermont Republican Party’s nomination for U.S. Senator: Richard Tarrant C H U RC H & C O L L E G E • B U R L I N GTO N • 8 6 3 - 37 5 9 • W W W. L E U N I G S B I S T RO . C O M of Colchester, Vermont, and Hillsboro Beach, Florida (where he owns a brand-new, $8.8 million oceanfront mansion). On Monday morning, the day the U.S. Senate began the stem-cell research debate, Candidate Tarrant appeared as a guest on the “Charlie & Ernie Show” on 620 AM WVMT. It’s no secret that co-host Charlie “We love serving Papillo, who does most of the talking, has great lunches a special fondness for Republican politiat Pauline’s cians, a fondness that at times approaches in the summer, fan worship. For a rookie statewide candiand still having date who has made not holding press conferences a key part of his campaign stratetime to head gy, Richie Rich was on very friendly turf. to the beach The stem-cell debate was all over the afterwards!” national news Monday morning. It was Mr. Papillo’s last question. How would – Jennie Bishop and Tarrant vote? Sara Peck, servers “Would you stand with the president or against the president?” asked Charlie. “Uh, well, I’m not avoiding this question with this answer,” replied Tarrant, “but I have to go right into the office and get briefed on some issues, one of which is that [one], so I’m not going to answer right now simply ’cause I’m not ready.” OK, if not now, when?

I’m not trying to avoid it.” Of course he isn’t. 2x5-paulines062806.indd 1 6/27/06 2:58:46 PM The fact is, Mr. Tarrant, a Roman Catholic, adheres to some of the Vatican’s most conservative dictums. For example, his personal foundation, as we have reported, does not give grants to organizations that support abortion in any way, shape or form. Tarrant’s “non-answer” answer on WVMT, we’d suggest, was all about concealing the real Rich Tarrant from Vermont voters. Vermont’s entire congressional delegation supports federal funding for stem-cell research. Most Vermonters do, too. But Richie Rich does not want to let Vermont voters know just how far outside the state’s mainstream he truly swims. Smart move. By the way, Ol’ Bernardo voted for the stem-cell legislation when it passed the House last year. As the Senate — where he hopes to serve next year — took up the (excluding loose diamonds & estate jewelry) issue this week, Sanders reiterated his position in no uncertain terms. “I strongly agree with the scientific 52 Church Street, Burlington community,” said candidate Sanders, “that Across from Burlington Town Center it’s imperative we lift the ban on creating 802.864.4238 new stem-cell lines.

CHRIS MARTIN knows that the US government pays huge subsidies to the largest agricultural producers. This encourages them to grow too much, dumping the surplus on international markets and driving prices down. Meanwhile, subsidies don’t alleviate the biggest problems in rural America: lack of medical services, poor schools, population loss, and environmental degradation. While subsidies do little to help poor farmers and their communities in the US, they actually harm rural communities around the world. How’s that fair?

I will vote to override it. The President’s political ideology should not stand in the way of major medical breakthroughs for millions of people.� What do you think? Which U.S. Senate candidate would America’s religious fanatics support? It Gets Worse — The above item was going to be the only one in this week’s column devoted to coverage of Vermont’s richest former-CEO-turned-political-hopeful, but then the phone rang Tuesday morning. The gentleman on the other end of the line was Mike Dennehy, a senior political advisor to Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona. As everyone knows, Republican congressional candidate Martha Rainville has landed a “Big One,� with McCain coming to Vermont on her behalf this coming Saturday. Mr. Dennehy, however, wasn’t calling about Martha Rainville, former Vermont National Guard general. He was calling about — you guessed it — Richard Tarrant! You see, on Monday, the Tarrant Campaign put out an email release to press and supporters announcing: Rich Tarrant will campaign with Sen. John McCain on Saturday. Please Join us: A Town Hall Meeting with Senator John McCain. It gave the time as 1 p.m. Location, the College of St. Joseph in Rutland. Funny, that’s the exact same time and location as Marvelous Martha’s Town Hall Meeting with McCain. Tarrant’s campaign event, said the McCain spokesman, “is certainly news to us.� Mr. Dennehy said, “If Rich Tarrant was going to be at the event, obviously Sen. McCain would be happy to welcome him, but we’re coming to Vermont on Saturday to campaign for Martha Rainville, and we’re very excited about it.� “News to us�? Ouch. “It’s been brought to our attention,� Dennehy continued, “that the Tarrant Campaign, for some unexplained reason, has been promoting Sen. McCain’s visit as a joint Town Hall Meeting with Candidate Rich Tarrant this weekend. In no uncertain terms the McCain aide told “Inside Track,� “It’s important to set the record straight — it’s not the case.� Sen. McCain, said Dennehy, “is very excited to come to Vermont to campaign for Martha Rainville, who has proven her leadership qualities in every step of her career. “Inside Track� has learned that Mike Dennehy and Tarrant campaign guru Tim Lennon have known each other for a long time. They both worked on McCain’s 2000 presidential campaign. “Mike and I traveled the country together,� said Lennon. It sounded like the old friend“Inside Track� is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Peter Freyne, email freyne@sevendaysvt.com.

ship has grown remarkably frosty, we suggested. Lennon told us that he had spoken to Dennehy via telephone about a role for Richie Rich in the McCain-Rainville event, but no agreement had been reached. Then came the Tarrant Campaign’s Monday email that made it sound like a McCain-Tarrant event. Mr. Lennon quickly went into damage-control mode. He said the Tarrant campaign “is sensitive to make sure that Martha gets the full bang for bringing John McCain up, and I can understand that.� “It was not our intent in any way,� Lennon said, “to make it anything less than what it was. It is a Martha Rainville event, no doubt about it.� Unfortunately, Tarrant has already done his damage. His attempt to elbow his way into the McCain-Rainville spotlight will be a media distraction. Like it or not, Tarrant’s me-first tactics will hurt the GOP cause. Over at the Sanders for Senate campaign headquarters, folks were stunned. Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver, the former Marine from St. Albans, noted that political players on the same political team “usually just yell behind the scenes,� rather than call the press up to complain. “I’m speechless,� said Weaver, “because the McCain people are obviously going above and beyond any kind of protocol in distancing themselves from the Tarrant people. It’s unheard of!� said the startled Capitol Hill insider. Despite having already spent more money on a political campaign than anyone in Vermont history, Rich Tarrant continues to demonstrate that his talent in building IDX Software into a $1.2 billion company does not transfer to politics in any way, shape or form. “Maybe John McCain just wants to work with Bernie?� suggested Weaver. Maybe he does. But one thing is absolutely certain: John McCain does not want to work with Rich Tarrant. Glamour Girl? — Interesting item on Marvelous Martha’s weekly public schedule this week — an interview with Glamour magazine, on the web: www.glamour.com. There’s an interesting poll highlighted on the home page asking readers to “Vote on your favorite naked actor here.� Click on the link and you find more naked male movie actor butts than you can shake a stick at. Looks like Martha Rainville may be more of a party animal than anyone imagined? Rainville campaign spokesman Brendan McKenna told “Inside Track� that Martha remained fully clothed for the interview. In fact, he said, it was conducted by telephone. Glamour is doing a story on women candidates in the 2006 election. According to McKenna, the interviewer did not get into “nitty-gritty issues,� instead focusing on the topic of gender equity. Martha’s best line, he said, was “What’s good for women is good for America.� Nice. Brendan informed us

Marvelous Martha is not a Glamour subscriber, “though her daughter does buy it.â€? P.S. Mr. McKenna also confirmed that the Rainville camp had dispatched a campaign staffer to Sunday evening’s “Conversation on the Greenâ€? in Castleton, sponsored by Democratic candidate Peter Welch. Republican Mark Shepard, who faces Martha in the GOP primary, also participated. That’s interesting, because Ms. Rainville herself has declined to appear at the new Sunday evening 2x1-vonbargens051006 5/8/06 1:04 PM Page 1 “Conversationsâ€? among candidates, 40 STATE ST.

Unfortunately, Vermont Chamber President Duane Marsh was not available Tuesday for comment. However, his executive assistant Laura Ibey was startled by our inquiry. Ms. Ibey said she thought she had already removed the link to the Paul Revere Biker event last Friday. She said Chris Fogg, vice president for travel and tourism at the state Chamber, had requested the removal after receiving complaints about it.

The average reader isn’t wondering how to get rid of chilblains, Catherine. She’s wondering what the hell chilblains are. Didn’t they go out with gout, consumption and lumbago? Obviously not. (For that matter, gout, consumption and lumbago haven’t gone away, either. Gout, a particularly painful form of arthritis, is caused by knifelike crystals of uric acid in the joints. Consumption is now known as tuberculosis, and lumbago, or lower back pain, is now more commonly described in terms of the underlying condition, e.g., a slipped disk, or else called “lower back pain.�) Chilblains, also called perniosis or pernio, are a skin inflammation, most commonly seen on the fingers and toes, caused by prolonged exposure to low but not freezing temps and damp. They’re considered rare in the U.S. (less than .01 percent of the population is afflicted), where we’ve got good central heating. They’re more common in England (10 percent annual incidence), where, no disrespect intended, you don’t.

Your skin doesn’t have to freeze, as with frostbite — it just has to stay cold and damp for a while. Chilblains often show up in the form o f s we l l i n g a n d d i s c o l o r a t i o n a n d s o m e t i m e s b l i s t e r s , sores and painful nodules under the skin. They can itch something fierce and scratching can lead to a secondary infection. If they’re bad enough they can cause numbness and long-lasting temperature sensitivity due to autonomic n e r ve d a m a g e . Some blame hot-water radiators for chilblains due to their allegedly uneven heat distribution, but that hasn’t been proven and I’m doubtful. There may even be a genetic predisposition to them — research suggests a possible link between chilblains and “abnormal proteins that tend to sludge in cold temperatures.� I’ve seen speculation that chilblains are more common, presumably due to lack of insulation, in people who are excessively thin — another problem we don’t have much in the U.S. Now, about making your chilblains go away. Topical steroids are used to fight itching and swelling. Keeping the affected parts warm and dry helps prevent further damage. Your doctor might also prescribe heparin ointment to improve circulation. Unfortunately, though, in most cases the only remedy is time. Since there’s no surefire treatment for chilblains, it’s

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, Is there an effective way to get rid of chilblains? I have some boring little ones, located mostly on my right hand, with a couple on the left. The doctor says I possibly have bad circulation, but they will probably go away if I eat properly and avoid sudden changes in temperature. Well, that hasn’t done a thing. Websites offer such unhelpful advice as “Do not place feet directly on radiators,� and suggest leg warmers and thermal underwear. Is there anything else I could try? I feel that I can’t just attribute them to the lousy climate in England. Catherine Seale

better to avoid getting them in the first place. Again, staying warm and dry is the main thing; when your extremities do get exposed to cold, make sure to warm them back up gradually. (That’s why those websites tell you not to put your feet on the radiator.) Ultraviolet light has been proposed as a way to prevent outbreaks, but studies show mixed results. If you smoke, quit, both for the obvious health reasons and because smoking can interfere with circulation in small blood vessels. In fact, since circulation is key, one folk remedy is to maintain a low but steady blood alcohol level, on the theory that alcohol’s well-known properties as a vasodilator will flush the chilblains away. You won’t find many physicians recommending this course of treatment, and needless to say I’m not licensed to prescribe. C o n s i d e r i n g t h e m a t t e r f ro m a p r a c t i c a l p e r s p e c t i v e , though, I’d suggest you think about spending some time on, say, the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. The climate is warm, there’s plenty of natural UV to be had on the beaches (if you’re one of the pasty types the UK is famous for, you’ll want to pack plenty of sunscreen), and from what I hear of Ibiza’s legendary nightlife, the blood alcohol thing will more than take care of itself. QUESTIONS WE’RE STILL THINKING ABOUT As a child, I was taught that the point of toothbrushing is to prevent the bacteria in food particles from producing an acidic environment that would cause tooth decay. Later, in sex ed, I learned that semen is alkaline. So what I’m wondering is, does having a little bit of semen in my mouth before I go to sleep also prevent tooth decay? It’s more fun than using a toothbrush. Creative Hygiene in Santa Barbara, CA Frankly I don’t have the faintest idea, C. But please don’t let that stop you from spreading this theory around.

They found the cleaning crew still working, but after tiring of waiting, they asked the crew to help them load the safe into their car. Recognizing Perriman, the crew obliged but left the car’s license number and a detailed narrative of the incident for the club’s manager.

As I passed through the city, I kept rechecking my map to make sure I wasn’t off-course. Finally, I arrived at the facility, a small airfield and terminal that made Burlington Airport look like Chicago’s O’Hare. I parked directly in front of the terminal and walked in. With the significant exception of the luggage screening area, most likely installed in the wake of 9/11, it felt like a bus terminal. The small number of employees — screener, baggage handler, air traffic controller, a single sher-

He’s from Norway.� “Ah-ha,� I said. “That’s the Kristensen.� “Yes, them’s my Norwegian roots,� she said with a chuckle. “My mom’s Puerto Rican.� “All right, then,� I said, turning to glance at her anew. “I can see it.

Other than me, it appeared that only a couple of actual civilians were in the building. The feel of the place made me nostalgic for my early days as a cabbie 25 years ago, when Burlington Airport had a similar informal atmosphere and only five taxi drivers regularly worked the queue. Over the intervening years, it’s grown exponentially in size and air traffic, and more than 30 cabbies now count on Burlington International for their daily bread. Within 20 minutes, a small Continental commuter plane touched down and taxied up to the terminal. I put down my Entertainment Weekly and rose to go to work. Two men and a woman emerged from the plane and entered the terminal. “Maria Kristensen?� I asked. “I’m Jernigan Pontiac. I’ll be driving you to Middlebury College.� “This airport is tiny,� Maria remarked as I loaded her many bags into the trunk and she settled into the shotgun seat. Black hair, lustrous and straight, swept gently to her shoulders, and she wore fashionable, wrap-around sunglasses. She was, in fact, a strikingly attractive young woman. I took her for a Latina, but her surname didn’t fit those roots. “Yeah, it sure is tiny,� I agreed. “How come you didn’t fly into Burlington? That’s where everyone else comes through who’s attending the foreign language program at Middlebury.� “I have, like, no idea. This is my first time to Vermont. I used a travel agent, and I think she was just being creative or something.� “Well, it’s no problem. The ride up Route 7 will be beautiful. It sure was on the way down.� “Are you associated with a school?� I asked as we got underway. Most of the people attending Middlebury College’s language school are attached in some way to an academic institution. “Well, I’m getting my Master’s in Portuguese through Middlebury� she replied. “I graduated from Vassar a few years ago.� “That’s cool. I’m told Portuguese is quite a complex language, so good luck.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

DAVE SCHMIDT

Block Party

A NAME JOB LOCATION

IMAGE Jordan Silverman

t 44.48 degrees north of the equator, Vermont isn’t exactly known for its blistering rays of the sun — a few recent days excepted. So what’s a worldwide sunblock manufacturer doing in Burlington? Turns out that Dave Schmidt, the 45-year-old co-founder and general manager of Himaya, is busy figuring out new ways to keep outdoorsy types from burning to a crisp with waterproof and sweatproof formulas that melt into the skin — even underwater — but last Dave Schmidt for hours. Co-founder, Himaya Sports Sun Protection Schmidt grew up near Burlington Albany and now lives in Williston. After 17 years working at Burton, he left his V.P. post in 2003 to launch Himaya — it means “protection” in Swahili — with a partner in Innsbruck, Austria. The sunblock’s product testers include dozens of the planet’s top adventure athletes, such as Dave Watson of Burlington, who smears on the stuff for his ascents of Everest. Himaya even has its own “Coppertone Girl” — Colchester triathlete Kim Loeffler, who wears Himaya in Hawaii and Lake Placid Ironman competitions. Sold at SkiRack and other local stores, it’s also available to regular mortals. As thunderheads loomed in the distance on a recent morning, Seven Days pulled Schmidt out of his office adjacent to the Burlington Bike Path to shed some light on the sunscreen business. SEVEN DAYS: With your location, do you find that curious people come in to see what’s going on? DAVID SCHMIDT: Oh, yeah, we’ve had a few oddballs. I had one lady try to convince me that you don’t need sunscreen if you take care of your body and do all the right things and eat the right foods and whatever. There are a variety of conspiracy theories in regards to pretty much anything. Sunscreen has its share. But by applying sunscreen, you’re potentially lowering your risk of skin cancer and preventing your skin from burning and aging. SD: I’m feeling a little guilty about my tan. DS: Sunscreen is going to protect you from about 90 percent of the UV spectrum, and that’s if you follow the rules and reapply — and nobody’s perfect. Your body does have a natural protective mechanism, and that’s what the tan is. SD: How did you get into the sunscreen business? DS: My partner in Austria had actually started Himaya a year before I

left Burton, and then mutual friend put us in touch. For the U.S. launch of Himaya, we had to reformulate a bit, because sunscreens are regulated by the FDA as an over-the-counter drug and the products weren’t certified. There are a lot of sunscreen filters available in the world — 300 — but the FDA has approved 17.

don’t have a brand they can lean on. It’s certainly not the Coppertone Sport and the Banana Boat sport. And the usage of sunscreen in the age groups we’re targeting is incredibly low. It’s frightening; it’s about 34 percent in ages 18 to 35, I think. We don’t try to use scare tactics in our marketing, but skin cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women between the ages of 25 and 35. So there’s a disconnect going on. SD: Why are young people so bad about sunscreen? DS: It’s laziness, it’s that you still want the tans. Kids want the raccoon eyes from their goggles as a status symbol. A lot of it is, when you’re young, you’re invincible, you don’t understand that by the time you turn 40, parts of your body start to not work as well as they did, that your skin is a vital asset, it’s your largest living organ and you need to take care of it.

SD: So are there magic ingredients out there that Americans aren’t getting in their sunscreen? DS: There are no magic ingredients, but there are better UVA ingredients out there that haven’t been approved yet, and there are ingredients that are more photo-stable than we’re allowed to use. We’re just waiting.

SD: What about SPF? DS: We start at 15, and then we have SPF 30, 45 and 60. The FDA did absolutely no good when they said at one point they were going to limit it to an SPF of 30. The curve diminishes, but for us, the higher SPFs make sense because the athletes that we’re giving it to are climbing to the top of Everest, or going to Tavarua and surfing at noontime, and they have a nose that’s been burnt 1000 times before, and that nose needs that small, incremental difference between the 45 and the 60. We launched 60 last January, and it’s quickly become one of our best-selling products.

SD: How did you decide to target the water-sport and wintersport markets? DS: There is no clear player in sunscreen in the U.S. in sports. The surfers are not sponsored by sunscreen companies. That’s just mind-blowing. The same with snowboarders, these guys are out there in intense environmental conditions all day and they

SD: And how is Himaya different from other sunscreens? DS: Our focus has been based on zinc oxide. People haven’t liked it in the past because it leaves a white residue on your skin. But now with newer technology they can get that particle size to one that’s transparent to the visible eye but still on your skin. That gives you the broadest

coverage against UVA, which ages the skin, and UVB, which burns the skin. It’s harmless stuff; it has no toxicity record. It’s diaper ointment; it’s what you slap on your baby’s butt. SD: Huh. DS: Yeah. So, we start with the zinc oxide, which you don’t find in too many sunscreens right now. It’s a physical block, so a surfer or a runner in a 9-hour race is not going to have to reapply. When Kim finished the Ironman last October, she said that it was the first time she didn’t blister on her skin. She got color, but she didn’t get fried. To an athlete, that’s critical, because if you get burned, your performance is going to deteriorate. You could claim that Himaya is a performance-enhancing drug, I guess. SD: What is it like being a sunscreen company in Vermont? DS: Sunshine’s limited, but skin cancer rates are pretty high. It’s just where we like to live. California’s only an airplane ride away. And this gives me the opportunity to go to some pretty cool places. SD: But without fragrances in Himaya, you’re not going to feel like you’re in the tropics when you put this on, eh? DS: Yeah, it’s not going to be coconut. If you’re into that, you gotta go buy something else. SD: Are you more cautious about the sun these days? DS: Oh, yeah. When you have a lot of sunscreen on your bathroom counter, you think, “Oh, I gotta put that on.” That’s where you need to keep your sunscreen. It shouldn’t be in your beach bag, it should be in your bathroom. SD: So are you one of those parents who slather sunscreen all over their kids? DS: Well, I’ve got two blond, two very fair-skinned boys, and I don’t think they’ve ever had a sunburn. m

or Bill Atkinson, homeland security starts with a good sidestroke. A 21-year veteran of one of the most elite combat units in the world — the U.S. Navy SEALs — Atkinson is working to fix an unusual STORY problem for the branch of the military KEN that spends most of its time around water. PICARD “The Navy discovered recently that a lot of the candidates they were getting for IMAGES their special operations programs don’t MATTHEW swim very well,� he says. So, eight years THORSEN after retiring from the SEALs — or Sea, Air and Land special forces — the longtime Burlington resident has once again donned goggles and fins to ensure that promising young recruits don’t go under. Atkinson is a mentor in the Navy Special Warfare/Navy Special Operations Mentorship Program. The initiative was launched five months ago to help candidates for the elite forces reach their top physical and mental form, before they’ve ever donned a seaman’s cap or set foot on a naval base. The effort is as much economic as strategic: Each year, the Navy spends more than $100,000 on the rigorous training of each SEAL candidate. And with an attrition rate of nearly 70 percent, the Navy wants to get more bang for its buck. That’s where Atkinson comes in. Hired by the private military contractor U.S. Tactical, his job is to prep as many qualified candidates as he can find in New

F

England and eastern New York, while also weeding out those who don’t have what it takes. Currently, Atkinson is working with about 30 recruits; ideally, he would have 100. He’s got his work cut out for him. On a recent Tuesday night at the Greater Burlington YMCA, Atkinson is standing in his bathing suit and goggles watching a lanky, redheaded young man swim laps. The swimmer, 19-year-old Robert Miller Sims of Essex Junction, is what the Navy commonly refers to as a “depper� — or DEP, a new recruit in the Delayed Enlistment Program. When the Navy doesn’t have a space available for a new recruit, his or her enlistment is put on hold until one opens up. Sims, who’s scheduled to ship out in November, has just begun his initial training session with Atkinson. His first task is to learn the “combat sidestroke,� a variation on the traditional sidestroke but with more scissor-kicking and less arm movement. This stroke allows a swimmer to move through the water quickly and stealthily. Sims is struggling with it, zigzagging across the lane, occasionally stopping halfway across the pool or gagging on a mouthful of water. But Atkinson never raises his voice or berates the young man, as a drill sergeant would. Instead, he’s patient and support-

ive, offering Sims constructive criticism and helpful advice. “Think of the water as a hat on your head,” he says, demonstrating the motion with an empty Gatorade bottle. “If your head is coming out of the water, that hat is coming off your head.” If Sims is the “before” model for the NSW/NSO Mentorship Program, the “after” model is training two lanes away. There, 19-year-old Matt Viscido of Ferrisburgh is demonstrating the combat sidestroke to another new depper — 22year-old Matt Nasveschuk, who drove up from Rutland for his first training session with Atkinson. Viscido moves through the water at an impressive clip. He’s been working out with Atkinson for a few months, and the results are obvious. “Two months ago, Matt Viscido swam like Robert Sims,” Atkinson says. “That’s why this program is so important.” At 5-foot-8 and 156 pounds, Viscido is neither massive nor muscle-bound. But he’s got the chiseled, V-shaped build of a

serious athlete. More importantly, Atkinson says, Viscido has the determination and intensity needed to make it into any one of the Navy’s elite units: Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Navy divers, Search and Rescue, or SWCC (Special Warfare Combat Crewmember, the people who pilot the Navy’s high-speed assault crafts). But the crème de la crème of the Navy’s special forces are the SEALs — the recruitment pamphlets boast they’re “the toughest boys on the planet. Bar none.” Watching intently from a deck chair beside the pool is Viscido’s father, Al, the YMCA’s chief financial officer and a former Marine himself. The Y lets Atkinson use its facilities at no cost, he explains, and the young recruits pay nothing for training with the former SEAL. Matt Viscido has already passed his preliminary fitness test and written exam, and is scheduled to ship out August 1. Both his father and Atkinson are hoping Matt will become a SEAL. But during a training break, Matt tells me that he plans to go into Search and Rescue instead so he can be aboard an aircraft carrier. When I mention this to his father, Al says, “Matt hasn’t made up his mind yet.” Meanwhile, Atkinson is still working with Sims, whose combat sidestroke is >> 26A

the surface. Despite eight years of retirement, he seems to have lost none of his aquatic abilities. Atkinson, who turns 50 in September, doesn’t look his age. “Kiwi shoe polish,� he jokes, stroking a full head of short, black hair. But in order to train future SEALs, he’s had to resume his old workout regimen of daily running, swimming and lifting weights. Unlike today’s young recruits, Atkinson didn’t know a thing about the Navy’s special operations when he enlisted in 1977 — initially, he signed up to become a hull technician to learn plumbing and welding. It wasn’t until he arrived at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Illinois that he was recruited for the SEALs. Moreover, unlike the young men signed up for the mentor-

O’Grady was shot down over Bosnia in 1995. Mostly, though, Atkinson served 21 years during a time of relative calm for the U.S. military. I ask him whether his work is made more difficult during wartime, especially in Vermont, which has no full-time active military base but a vocal antiwar movement. He doesn’t think so. “I certainly don’t want to give you the impression that I’m a war monger or I believe in war. Far from it,� he says. “I believe in preserving and protecting the peace. But that’s enabled by having good special forces and good people in our armed services.� That said, Atkinson doesn’t pull any punches when deppers and their parents ask him about the realities of special ops missions in the 21st century. The Navy hasn’t suffered the same

recruitment problems as other branches of the military, largely because of the public perception that the Navy isn’t in harm’s way. But as Atkinson points out, there are a lot of missions underway and not enough special forces units to go around. That means SEALs are being called upon to perform duties that they never did before, particularly in hostile urban environments. “My stepson is a SEAL, and he deployed in April and comes back in October, maybe,� Atkinson says. “I’m sure he’s been to Iraq already, and I’m sure he’s been to other trouble spots. That’s what they do today. They’re in the thick of things.� Regardless of the high demand for able bodies, the qualifications for becoming a SEAL have never been tougher. To enter BUD/S, or Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training, a candidate must to able to swim 500 yards in less than 12 minutes, 30 seconds; run 1.5 miles in under 11 minutes, 30 seconds; do at least 42 pushups in two minutes, at least 50 situps in two minutes and be able to do at least six pull-ups. Atkinson knows there are a lot of topnotch athletes to choose from in this area. And in spite of Burlington’s ideological leanings, or even the current geopolitical climate, Navy recruits from around the region are seeking him out. Just like today’s college applicants, they’re doing whatever they can to get a leg up on the competition. It’s a sweltering morning in downtown Burlington as a contingent of nine deppers assembles outside the YMCA. They’ve driven from as far away as Rhode Island to train with Atkinson for the day. Standing beside Vermonters Viscido and Nasveschuk, the out-of-towners look more like stereotypical Navy SEALs — green fatigue pants, combat boots, crew cuts, Mohawks, tattooed biceps and cut bodies. But as the team makes the mile-and-a-half run from the Y to Texaco Beach on the waterfront, both Viscido and Nasveschuk arrive near the front of the pack. After a short rest, the men strip down to their shorts and wade into the lake for a 500yard swim to North Beach. Sure enough, on their return swim, both Nasveschuk and Viscido are among the first ones out of the water. “I drank about a gallon of water,� says Nasveschuk. “Yeah, it’s like swimming in a washing machine,� Viscido agrees. It sounds like they’re complaining, but they’re not. Both are smiling and seem pleased with how the Green Mountain boys stack up against the out-oftown competition. Though the odds are against them — more recruits wash out of special forces than succeed — they’re hoping that they’ve got an edge; namely, the help of someone local who’s been there before. m

In that spirit Iraq’s Kurds, when they finally get the independence they so clearly desire, ought to consider a small memorial to Townshend, Vermont, resident Peter Galbraith. Surely few outsiders will deserve more credit toward the creation of a free and sovereign Kurdistan. Galbraith’s involvement with Iraq in general and the Kurds in particular stretches back more than two decades, to his time as a staffer with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Review of Books and the more erudite corners of the talk-TV world, Galbraith has emerged as one of the country’s most thoughtful commentators on both the Balkans and Iraq. He recounts this personal history — while arguing forcefully both for Kurdish independence and against Bush administration policies — in his new book, The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created a War Without End. The crux of Galbraith’s argument is simple: First, Iraq as a state is broken beyond repair. Second, even if the place could be fixed, the result would not be worth the effort. Iraq has never functioned as a unitary state in the past, and no amount of foreign meddling is going to turn it into

doing has righted an historic wrong,� Galbraith writes. In any event, Iraq already “has broken up in all but name.� The Kurds, he notes, control their own borders with Turkey and Iran, and require no visa of visiting Americans. (Enter the country through Baghdad and you not only need a visa to get in, but after two weeks you need an exit visa to leave.) They have their own army. They do not allow ministries from the central government in Baghdad to operate branch offices in their part of the country. Galbraith doesn’t mention it, but the Kurds even have their own airline, offering direct flights from Kurdistan to Europe. The early chapters of The End of Iraq

recount in detail the history of that country and America over the last quarter-century. It’s a well-known story, but one that needs retelling to remind us how we got into our present Friendlymess. On-site Computer Support In 1980 one of the longest, bloodiest and most pointless wars in modern history began. The Iran-Iraq War lasted eight years, cost a million lives, sucked in neighboring countries as well as the United States, led to Washington’s dubious embrace of Saddam Hussein, spawned the IranContra scandal, and saw the first serious use of chemical weapons in battle since World War I. When it was all over, essentially nothing had Friendly On-site Computer Support changed. The border between the two countries remained where it had been. Saddam was still in power in Baghdad, the Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran. With Iran no longer distracting him, Saddam turned his fury on the rebellious Kurdish provinces in Iraq’s north. The Kurds estimate that 182,000 people died in the genocidal campaign known as the Anfal, a systematic program designed to wipe out Kurdistan’s rural culture, Arabize the region’s cities, and crush rebellion. The campaign involved the routine use of chemical weapons, the destruction of thousands of villages, and mass executions — in some cases involving thousands of people at a time. Galbraith, then a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s professional staff, saw much of this firsthand. Traveling extensively, and occasionally clandestinely, in Kurdistan and along its borders with neighboring Turkey and Syria, he and several colleagues from the U.S. Foreign Service documented what was happening and sought to raise the alarm. To call Washington’s official response craven would be polite. Galbraith notes that no one in government disputed his findings, but no one seemed eager to do anything about it, either. “When I returned to Washington after a week on the Iraq-Turkey border, I found hundreds of yellow slips on my desk, almost all calls from special interests that would be adversely affected by sanctions,� he writes. “A staff >> 31A

rose against Saddam at the behest of the first President Bush, and he recounts the story of the Western-protected safe zones in the north of the country that eventually evolved into today’s pseudo-independent Kurdistan. All of this, of course, is background to the present mess. This is where the book really comes together, drawing in equal parts on Galbraith’s experience as a policy-maker and his on-the-ground familiarity with Iraq’s political players — especially the Kurds. Galbraith has spent an unusual amount of time in postSaddam Iraq, particularly for someone who was neither a journalist (he did work for a time as a consultant to ABC News) nor a coalition official. His government career appears to have afforded him extremely high-level access to the occupation authorities, while his long history with the Kurds put him near the center of many of the critical constitutional talks of the last two years. From that perspective Galbraith is unsparing in his criticism of the “arrogance and ignorance” of both the Washington politicians who consistently saw Iraq not as it was but as they wanted to see it, and of the clueless ideologues who staffed the upper stratum of Paul Bremer’s Coalition Provisional Authority. With Bremer now living in Chester, Vermont, less than 20 miles up Rt. 35 from Galbraith’s home, one cannot help but wonder what a chance encounter between the two men — say, at the supermarket in Bellows Falls — might sound like. The final section of The End of Iraq puts forward Galbraith’s argument for the partition of Iraq, or at the very least its devolution into a loose federal confederation. What America wants and needs at this stage is to extricate itself from Iraq. The first step, Galbraith says, is to abandon our insistence on Iraq’s territorial integrity and let the Kurds go their own way. “Pursuit of a coerced unity has led to endless violence, repression, dictatorship, and geno-

government, which U.S. and British officials are so quick to praise, Galbraith argues convincingly that the ShiiteKurdish coalition ostensibly running the country is, in reality, no such thing. “The Shiites and Kurds have never shared common ground as Iraqis,” he writes. Their “government” is little more than a marriage of convenience in which the Kurds support the Shiite parties’ desire to set up a theocracy in the Arab part of Iraq provided they, and Kurdistan, are left alone. The Shia, caring little about or for the Kurds, are happy to cede de facto independence to Iraq’s north in exchange for unchallenged control of the rest of the country. Whether the 20 percent of the country that is Sunni Arab can find its own place in this system remains open to question. The idea of breaking up Iraq has been floated repeatedly over the years by various Western commentators, and is routinely excoriated by traditional Middle East experts. The traditional arguments against it include the reaction it may provoke among Iraq’s neighbors, the possible emergence of hostile anti-American ministates in Iraq’s center and south, the nearly inevitable violence that would accompany partition, and the accusation that anyone who thinks breaking the country into two or more pieces will solve anything is simply being naïve. None of these points can be easily rejected, but with no end in sight to the morass of Western involvement in Iraq, perhaps it is time to reexamine some of the solutions that have long been pushed to the side. The End of Iraq is a thoughtful, and thought-provoking, addition to this discussion. Peter Galbraith may indeed deserve to have a statue in Kurdistan some day. Until then, we here in the States owe him thanks for broadening our national debate about Iraq, for striving to keep that debate civil, and for two decades of quiet work from inside the government to keep far-away atrocities from being forgotten. m

CHARLES FISH

A River Run Exploring the Winooski with the author of In the Land of the Wild Onion BY CATHY RESMER

V

ermont is the right place to be if you’re a nature lover. The state still claims pristine waterways and scenic mountain vistas unspoiled by visible traces of habitation. But if avoiding humans is what you’re after, you’re probably not interested in spending a day on the Winooski River. It meanders through the most densely populated part of the state, its flow interrupted by dams, its waters muddied by pollution, its banks eroded by farmland and housing developments, its calm shattered by trains, planes and automobiles. The river’s history is inexorably entwined with the human history of northwestern and central Vermont. And that’s what Charles Fish loves about it. The aptly named retired English professor grew up in Essex Junction. He fished the river as a boy, and hunted on its banks. Fish left the area shortly after graduating from Essex High School in 1954 — he received his PhD at Princeton University, and has lived since 1968 in Dummerston — but the Winooski remains close to his heart. Now he’s turned his lifelong fascination into a book, In the Land of the Wild Onion: Travels Along Vermont’s Winooski River, published last month by the University of Vermont Press in conjunction with the University Press of New England. Fish spent nearly a decade augmenting his boyhood memories with knowledge gleaned from the people he met while traveling the river on foot and by canoe. The result is a thorough and engaging narrative that examines the entire watershed from geological, economic, historical and personal perspectives. It’s a whole new way of looking at the Winooski, which many Vermonters barely notice as they speed past it on I-89. Fish acknowledges that apathy. “You can drive over this river 365 days a year,” he says, “and you just don’t pay attention.” He hopes to spark some interest in the Winooski with his book, and gleefully agrees to spend a Saturday in July giving me a guided tour of some of his favorite spots. “I want people to understand how we take care of and live in the watershed,” he explains. “I want people to be thoughtful about where they live.”

W

e meet at Overlook Park on Route 2A in Williston, across the river from Essex Junction. We plan to canoe a stretch of river downstream from the Essex power plant, but first we’re headed east. At 8:45 a.m., we set out for Montpelier in Fish’s silver Buick, leaving the canoe strapped to my car. On the way to the state capital, Fish offers some background data. Extending 90 miles, the Winooski is not Vermont’s longest river; that honor belongs to the 100mile Otter Creek. But the Winooski’s watershed — the surface area that collects water

IMAGES BY JORDAN SILVERMAN

for the river — is the largest in Vermont, New York and Québec, covering 1080 square miles. That’s 11 percent of the state. As we travel I-89 through the valley in Richmond, Fish explains that the river has been part of this landscape for a long, long time. It’s an antecedent river, which means that it predates the upheaval of the Earth’s crust that made the mountains. Geologists, he says, are still investigating its origins. The Winooski valley was once covered by glaciers 1 to 2 miles thick. They retreated 10,000 years ago, but not before carving up the landscape. In Bolton Flats, the car swerves slightly as Fish points to several rounded hills with steep cliffs called roches moutonées, or “sheep rocks.” “The glacier came in, froze into the rock face, and broke off,” he says, “carrying chunks of the mountain.” The most notable example of this process is the angular peak of Camel’s Hump. The glaciers later deposited the stones they stole all along the valley. Throughout the day

Slight but spry, Fish completed the trek in five days, quite a feat for a guy in his sixties. The indefatigable scholar, who retired from Western New England College in 2001 and still teaches as an adjunct professor at Boston College, turns 70 on July 27. It was during Fish’s second trip that he was nearly run over. He pulled his canoe from the water before a small dam in Montpelier. He fastened the boat to a wheeled carrier and dragged it along Route 2 during rush hour. Cars whizzed by at 50 miles an hour. That, Fish says, was the scariest part of any of his trips. Our next stop is also urban; Fish takes me to the Montpelier Sewage Treatment Plant, which releases an average of 2 million gallons of water into the river each day. Treatment plants comprise one of the major reasons the Winooski is cleaner now than it was when Fish was growing up. Until 1964, all sewage ran directly into the river. The Winooski was literally an open sewer.

drink the water in the river,” he says. We follow Fischer as he takes water samples. He fills one bucket from a pipe labeled “effluent” at the back of the building, then takes us outside to a concrete slab. He opens a metal door and lowers a gray plastic bucket on a rope into a stream of sewage that passes about 10 feet below. He brings the samples into the plant’s lab, dons latex gloves, and pours the buckets’ contents into two glass beakers. The plant’s discharge is clear, while the sewage from the area’s toilets and sink drains predictably cloudy. Fischer sometimes finds things floating in the stream. No poop, he says — “it dissolves pretty quickly.” Usually he sees toys, tampons and condoms. The plant can’t remove everything. The charts on the walls show dramatically reduced levels of pollutants, but some stuff still gets through, especially when the river is swollen from heavy rains. Both Fischer and Fish say most pollu-

It’s hard to imagine that this lazy water could be deadly, but Fish reminds me that during the 1927 flood, the narrow stretch just ahead in Bolton killed more people than any other part of the river.

IN THE WATER BELOW THE ESSEX DAM

Fish points out random boulders called “glacial erratics.” In Montpelier, we drive to the spot where Fish came closest to being killed during his travels. It’s actually not on the river itself but along a stretch of Route 2. Fish canoed the entire river twice in the late 1990s, once doing only sections at a time, using his car to portage the boat. The second time he floated from Marshfield to Burlington, portaging his 12-foot, 58-pound fiberglass canoe mostly on foot. He camped on the banks along the way.

The river is now lined with treatment facilities; Fish chose to highlight this one in his book because of its reputation for good management practices. At the plant, we meet Assistant Chief Operator Robert Fischer. He tells us the water coming from his plant has been scrubbed mostly clean of pollutants such as E. coli bacteria and phosphorus, which causes algae blooms in Lake Champlain. It’s technically not potable, but Fischer says the water is essentially 97 or 98 percent clean. “I would certainly drink the water coming out of the plant before I’d

tion these days comes from “non-point sources,” such as agricultural run-off and chemicals from lawns and roadways. Though treatment plants handle the septic and industrial load, federal guidelines mandate that the grates you see along the roads drain unfiltered into the river. That non-point pollution makes swimming in the Winooski inadvisable. Fischer has never been. A former fish biologist for the U.S. Forest Service, he says he’s gotten sick too many times in cleaner streams out West to risk it.

O

ur next two stops take us back to nature. Fish drives north on I-89 to Middlesex. He pulls over on Route 100B to show me the steep trail he climbed while portaging his canoe. We walk through a patch of knee-high daisies, vetch, burdock and Queen Anne’s Lace to peer through a fence at the gorge below. Fish notes the vertical striations on the opposing rock face, layers of minerals compressed by unimaginable force. In the book, he refers to the sight as “geologic poetry.” From there we take Route 2 as it winds along the river through Waterbury, past the old Vemront Hospital and the state office complex. We turn left on Winooski Street, cross the river, and turn right on River Road. This runs roughly parallel to the river, and to Route 2, I-89 and a series of railroad tracks. The valley is a heavily trafficked transportation corridor, inaugurated years before by the river itself, which was used by the Abenaki. As we drive along River Road, the muddy-brown Winooski is often visible through the trees to our right. It’s hard to imagine that this lazy water could be deadly, but Fish reminds me that during the 1927 flood, the narrow stretch just ahead in Bolton killed more people than any other part of the river. The flood killed 55 people in the Winooski Valley, 26 of them in Bolton. The river took a life not far from here just this spring, when a St. Michael’s College senior died canoeing after heavy rains. “We don’t ever really tame a river,” Fish solemnly observes. He soon turns right over a one-lane bridge that crosses the railroad tracks. It leads to the DeForge Hydroelectric Station, also known as Bolton Dam. We leave the car and climb a steep path through swarms of biting insects to a point that surveys the Bolton Gorge, the

state’s second largest. We pass towering, high-voltage electrical lines belonging to Green Mountain Power. The company owns the land and the dam. At the top of the ridge, the vista includes rocky cliffs, the dam and a seemingly placid pool in the river more than 100 feet below. Camel’s Hump rises in the distance. “Isn’t this grand?” Fish murmurs. He notes that to our left is Allen’s Rock. More than 200 years ago, Ira Allen is said to have ventured here with a small party of friends. They dared each other to step close to the void and look down. Allen supposedly stepped closest to the edge, giving the point its name. Fish also walked out on the point while researching his book and, knees knocking, contemplated the drop. It seems a popular pursuit, judging from the cigarette butts scattered nearby. In his book, Fish calls the view “sublime.” “The word has lost much of its force in common parlance,” he writes in the chapter titled “From Gorge to Gorge.” “More than simply supreme or excellent, it suggested an awe-inspiring majesty, and

unlike the beautiful, to which it was often contrasted, it could evoke feelings of terror as the merely human confronted grandeur and power on a supra-human scale.” As we admire the lush scenery, Fish recalls the trip during which he made that observation. “As I was sitting here meditating on the sublime, a train came by,” he says with a chuckle. “There’s always something to remind you that this is a human valley.” A nearer reminder is I-89, which runs close by on the opposite side of the gorge. You can see the cars flickering past through the trees, and the traffic noise is unmistakable. In the winter, Fish says, you can glimpse Allen’s Rock from the highway. Otherwise, the garish orange markers on the power lines above are the only indication that you’re driving past this scenic spot. The site is more than a transportation corridor with a colorful anecdote and a good view. Fish points to the dam below; hydropower produces less than 5 percent >> 34A

of Green Mountain Power’s electricity, but it’s still crucial. When proponents of hydroelectric energy look at this stretch of river, he says, “They see it, of course, as a source of power, a system of energy.” From Bolton, we head to Richmond, passing Volunteers Green, where pint-sized athletes play a Little League All-Star game. When the Winooski floods, as it did this spring, their field becomes part of the river. At the outskirts of town, the valley widens, revealing a swath of farmland. A small cluster of Holsteins grazes a few hundred feet from the road. Fish remarks, “That’s an increasingly rare sight.” His comment is underscored at our next stop, the Whitcomb Farm in North Williston, which abuts the river. The Whitcombs, who own one of Chittenden County’s few surviving dairy farms, confine their herd to pens in two large, rounded-roof barns. They feed the animals with grain grown in their fields, which they spray with pesticides. This is properly called conventional agriculture, but the Whitcombs are also innovating. Their farm recently served as a test site for an anaerobic digester, which turns the methane from cow manure into energy. Fish knew Ed Whitcomb years ago, and spoke to him as he began research on the book, but Whitcomb was killed in a farming accident shortly after they reconnected. Death is a pervasive presence in Fish’s stories. Near the Whitcomb Farm is the railroad trestle where four of Fish’s high school classmates were killed in December 1953. We drive past it on our way to Essex Junction. “They were racing a train, and they tied,” he remembers. “We heard the ambulance go by our house.” Today there’s no sign that an accident ever happened at this sleepy crossing, and there’s little evidence of the commercial district that Fish says once existed here. Towns die, too. The cold storage plant, built in 1876, burned down in the early 1900s. Gone as well are the sawmill, gristmill, post office and creamery. Their disappearance might have something to do with the Dust Bowl-like conditions that arose because of severe deforestation in the 1920s. Intensive planting efforts by the University of Vermont and the National Resource Conservation Service brought back the trees along the river, but the railroad village is gone for good.

I

t’s nearly one o’clock when we drive through Essex Junction. Fish points to landmarks — his childhood home on the corner of Maple and East Streets, the house where the wily “Bobcat Man” of his book lives, the location of the ice house where Fish’s family would go to stock their icebox. We unload the canoe, park my car on a road across from the Burlington International Airport,

As I was sitting here meditating on the sublime, a train came by. There’s always something to remind you that this is a human valley. CHARLES FISH and return to Williston in Fish’s car to carry the canoe to the water. We put in just below the Essex Dam. Before we do, Fish tells me the story of Dale Bacon, who fell 65 feet while replacing the wooden flashboards that used to lie across the top of the dam. In addition to various other serious injuries, “He dislocated all of his fingers trying to hold onto the concrete,” Fish marvels. Once in the water, we enter some mild rapids. We’re in a slightly larger canoe than the one Fish used last time, but with the addition of a photographer we’re three in the boat. We ride so low that we’re nearly swamped. Everything and everyone on board gets soaked. After we’re clear, Fish confesses, “The closest I ever came to capsizing on the Winooski was in that stretch back there.” The calm water that follows offers a chance to reflect. Dense vegetation lines the banks. Not even Fish can tell exactly where we are at any given moment. It’s amazing how remote the river seems, though people and commerce, and the ever-present sound of traffic, surround us on all sides. Fish occasionally notes erosion on the banks. We see whole trunks of still-green trees about

to slide topsy-turvy into the current. The biggest danger to the river — apart from events like the ammonia spill at the Cabot Creamery last year — is actually sediment. It destroys wildlife habitat. And critters still abound; we see a blue heron, several ducks, a flock of geese and two turkey vultures, one of them circling above an unidentifiable, flyinfested carcass we find on a small, sandy island. A log in front of us in the water turns out to be the head of some furry creature; it dives as we approach. Even more delightful is the trip beneath the Lime Kiln bridge. The construction site above is ugly, but the view of the limestone cliffs from below is breathtaking. The large, rounded hollows that loom above us in the rock resemble something out of Lord of the Rings. We see initials carved into the wall in elegant script beside a year: 1862. “This is one of my favorite places along the river,” Fish intones reverently. Back on land, we lift the canoe onto my car, and proceed to Salmon Hole in Winooski. Fish devotes a whole chapter to the former mill town, and another to the Abenaki Indians who once gathered here below the falls, and who gave the river its name; it means “wild onion.”

We walk along a paved path next to the old Woolen Mill. “Many years ago, when the mills were running, this was a crummy area,” Fish recalls. “Now it’s a park.” Sure enough, three teenagers are walking on one of the small islands below us, a lone kayaker shoots the rapids, and several people are strolling on the new Winooski Riverwalk nearby. But this nook still has its seedy side. Two young girls peer over the metal railing to look at the trash accumulating in the brownish foam next to the dam. “There’s, like, an Adidas flipflop, a regular flip-flop, spray paint, tires — everything’s in there,” one of them says. But the trash isn’t visible from the rocks overlooking Salmon Hole beneath the dam. A slight mist hangs in the late afternoon air, and as you view the famed prehistoric cove, you can almost imagine what it must have looked like hundreds of years ago. “Historically, geologically, scenically — what a sight!” enthuses Fish. “It’s a feast for the eyes.”

F

inally, we drive to our last stop, the basin where the Winooski empties into Lake Champlain. We park near the Bike Path and walk to the bridge that connects

it to Colchester. To our left is the Mouth of the River neighborhood, also called the North Avenue Extension, where Fish’s friend Azarius Beaudoin grew up trapping muskrats, minks and beavers. A light rain has begun to fall, driving away most of the early evening traffic. But it hasn’t deterred three young boys and a girl who are jumping from the bridge into the water 15 or 20 feet below. Fish watches the teens enviously. “That’s terrific,” he says. “That’s what it ought to be like when you’re a kid.” I explain to one of the boys that Fish and I have spent the day exploring the river, that the waterway has great geological, environmental and historical significance. Is he thinking about any of that when he plummets into it? “Not really,” he says with a shrug. Fish is too moved by the kids’ exuberance as they hurl themselves into the water to be bothered by the answer. He admits that teaching people about the watershed was only part of his motivation for writing the book. “It’s also about wanting someone else to share my enthusiasm for the river,” he explains. The skinny, wet kids, laughing and teasing each other as they scramble up the bank, surely do. m

he economics of staging Broadway musicals make even shows with star-studded casts and happy endings risky endeavors. It’s difficult to imagine, then, how a production called Urinetown: The Musical STORY made it onto the Great White Way in ERIK 2001.

The production of Urinetown: house.org. The Musical currently running at the Weston Playhouse continues that legacy with aplomb, thanks to a cast with sharp comic timing and the keen sense of irony needed to lift the play’s broad humor out of the gutter and into the realm of shrewd satire. The result is a torrent of cleverness nearly overflowing with laughs. As in many satires, the comedy is richest when the dramatic situation is most dire, and Urinetown: The Musical wastes no time in getting to that point. The show’s narrator, Officer Lockstock — he’s also one of its villains — brings us up to speed in the opening scene, as he and copcohort Officer Barrel haul Old Man Strong away for using a public restroom without paying the fee.

Peeing elsewhere, and peeing without paying, are punishable by a one-way ticket to Urinetown, an infamous prison from which no convict has ever returned. Old Man Strong’s arrest agitates moral waters in his son, Bobby Strong, assistant custodian of Public Amenity No. 9, and inspires revolutionary thoughts. This coincides with the return home from college of Hope Cladwell, daughter of UGC boss Cladwell B. Cladwell. Hope’s degree from “the most expensive university in the world� seems to have furnished her with few ideas of her own, but when she and Bobby set eyes on one another, the writing is on the wall. Their love affair will be complicated by the ensuing crackdown on Bobby and his comrades — formerly his pee patrons. Praising individual performances in the Weston production of Urinetown: The Musical is a bit difficult, as the cast, deep with professional talent, is uniformly attuned with the play’s comic sensibilities. Still, some players deserve notice for the chemistry they create with one another. Playing lovers pulled apart by strife, Margaret Nichols’ Hope and D.B. Bonds’ Bobby make a convincing pair. Their romantic connection is sweet, if a touch sappy, in proportion to the play’s fablelike universe. Nichols, along with Thursday Farrar, who plays Public Amenity No. 9 chief custodian Penelope Pennywise, also has one of the strongest singing voices in the cast.

Praising individual performances in the Weston production is a bit difficult, as the cast, deep with professional talent, is uniformly attuned with the play’s comic sensibilities. tone of a beat cop who’s secretly more interested in knocking heads than upholding justice. Much of what they discuss concerns how a musical play operates — one angle from which Urinetown: The Musical satirizes not just a corrupt society but the musical genre itself. Astute musical-theater aficionados may appreciate other cheeky references, such as songs that nod to Broadway warhorses Les Miserables and Guys & Dolls, or the clichĂŠd second-act gospel number “Run Freedom Run.â€? Dance numbers also recognize their roots, such as in the opener “What Is Urinetown?â€? — it features choreography reminiscent of Fiddler on the Roof. Another set of moves, during “Snuff That Girl,â€? draws laughs for its homage to the menacing finger-snapping of West Side Story’s gang members. On preview night in Weston, vocal projection during some songs was a tad weak at times. This may have been attributable to sound design, or simply to performers finding their volume or meeting the challenge of intricate lyrical stylings. Perhaps because so much of what comes through is so funny, one missed the lyrics that were a little muddled. That quibble notwithstanding, Urinetown: The Musical is a lively, smart theatrical work. Its freshness and vitality may owe something to its creators’ backgrounds not in musical theater but in Chicago’s improv-comedy scene. Certainly the Weston cast, under the skillful direction of Malcolm Ewen, deserves credit for maintaining such a consistently high level of comic energy while keeping a straight face. As strange as it may seem, while this play trades on the base human impulse to urinate, it also manages to broach valid perspectives on the politics of water. Sure, films and TV shows about global warming and other environmental travesties now proliferate — as they should — but the consequences they foretell remain something of an abstraction to many people. Urinetown: The Musical, as broadly satirical and just plain silly as it is, may inspire a visceral reaction to environmental degradation and corporate greed. After all, while an idea might make a person gasp, laughter, like nature’s call, is something one feels deep inside. m

The script of Ducks, co-authored with Tolan, draws on the conventions of traditional Japanese Noh theater, such as stock characters and alternating passages of poetry and slapstick.

inspired elements of the script, as well as Lost Nation’s well-executed production design. Keenan has fleshed out The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks with an ambitious assemblage of other cultural elements, including kabuki-style makeup, taiko drumming interludes, folk songs and dancing. Because the script’s running time is geared for younger audiences, a 20minute “prelude concert� of drumming, singing and dancing preceded the play to constitute a full-length evening of entertainment. Two pairs of lovers — one human, one waterfowl — face peril because a willful Lord rules cruelly and capriciously. While walking in the countryside, the Lord spots a vibrantly plumed mandarin Drake, and orders his samurai Shozo to capture it for his collection of pretty treasures. Shozo protests, “The Drake is a wild spirit. Surely he will die in captivity.� “I am the lord of the district,� the tyrant thunders. “He would not dare!� But the male duck withers in his bamboo cage, despite the secret efforts of the kitchen maid, Yasuko, to nurture him with delicacies. Meanwhile, back at the nest, the bereft female Duck cries out helplessly, not knowing what has happened to her missing mate. As the Drake’s plumage fades, the Lord angrily relegates the no-longer beautiful bird to the back of the kitchen garden. Knowing that the duck will die if he remains caged, Yasuko releases him. Shozo is deeply moved by her efforts to save the creature he wrongfully imprisoned, and falls in love with her. When the Lord discovers his Drake is gone, he blames both the maid and the samurai. He strips Shozo of his rank, and eventually sentences them both to death by drowning. The waterfowl have reunited happily.

Can they save the servants who saved them? It’s a children’s story, so don’t worry about corpses at curtain time. Ducks in disguise, a deep, dark forest and a farcically incompetent guard ensure a happy ending for man and beast. Noh, like many ancient styles of stagecraft, is self-consciously theatrical: A troupe of actors overtly presents the audience with their work as entertainers. In The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks, the Narrator leads the players by recounting much of the story and often joins in to play a character himself. In this role, Reuben Josephe Tapp had an engaging stage presence, his voice alternately soothing and sonorous to suit the material. His over-the-top portrayal of the hapless guard Taro was a kid-pleasing, comic delight. The trio of actors in kabuki makeup exploited their parts’ caricature-laden possibilities. As the haughty, mood-swinging Lord, Kim Bent used his steeply arched eyebrows to convey dastardly superciliousness, creating an amusing, love-to-hate-

— movement that flowed organically from character and action. While the folk music, dancing and drumming enlivened the atmosphere and enriched the story, Liebman’s songs did not. Music director Piero Bonamico accompanied ably from an onstage piano, but the songs lacked dramatic impact, and the singers didn’t seem entirely comfortable with them. For example, while the tone of Tsuchiya’s voice was rich, her pitch often seemed to veer sharp. In general, lyrics weren’t as precisely or persuasively articulated as the dialogue, or even the action. Under-rehearsed numbers? Or just not show-stopping material? It was hard to tell. All the visual elements were striking, however, and executed with polish. Donna Stafford’s puppets were gorgeous agglomerations of silk that seemed to embody both fragility and strength. Kevin M. Kelly’s handsome scenic design drew from the muted palette of the Dillons’ book illustrations. John B. Forbes’ light-

him villain. As the Lord’s frisky minions, the KoKen, Erica Miethner and Hiroko Sawaki flitted about the stage with mischievous energy. Haruna Tsuchiya played the maid Yasuko with quiet dignity as she demonstrated her character’s struggle between fear and courage. As the samurai Shoko, G. Richard Ames —known to Burlington public-access cable fans as the “Survey Says� announcer — showed the warrior’s dilemma between duty to his Lord and honoring his own code of values. Tsuchiya and Ames played their starcrossed couplehood convincingly. The pair portraying the mandarin mates faced a unique challenge: roles with little dialogue that also required them to perform while manipulating large puppet versions of their characters. What could have been silly or surreal was deeply touching. The Drake, Joey Morse, was regal even in captivity, and the Duck, Melanie Fields, was ethereal even in distress. Both actors conveyed emotions expressively with their eyes and body language, greatly aided by the simple elegance of Sebastian Ryder’s choreography

ing enhanced the spare set’s effectiveness. The pale background hues allowed Kate Jansyn Thaw’s wonderful array of costumes to shine, from the vibrant silks to the earthy cottons. Color and fabric became part of the storytelling. While rich raiment connoted status, one of the central themes was the disconnect between outward appearance and inner beauty or moral worth. Thus, the Lord’s robes were most lavish but cloaked the ugliest heart. Even when the Drake’s brilliant coloring dulled in captivity, he remained noble because he loved his plain-plumed mate. When the samurai was stripped of his status-signifying swords, he felt liberated; love mattered more to him than any outward trappings. Every children’s tale has a message or two. Of course, good triumphs over evil and love conquers all. These stock morals are cleverly and charmingly rendered in The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks. More subtle — and more important, in this era of Botoxed and designer-clad celebrities — is the message that what matters is on the inside. Plumage fades, but doing the right thing never goes out of style.m

ust how do you celebrate someone’s 250th birthday? When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart reached the quarter-millennium mark in January, the event unleashed a global torrent of commemoration and celSTORY ebration. The prolific wunderkind comELISABETH poser died when he was just 35 years old, CREAN but he left an astonishing 626 works behind — operas, symphonies, concertos, “In His Own sonatas, choral music and more. This Words,” Vermont wondrous musical legacy has remained Mozart Festival, tremendously popular ever since, among Round Church, Richmond. July 20, classical music’s cognoscenti as well as its 7:30 p.m. $25. casual fans. www.vtmozart.com The 33rd annual Vermont Mozart Festival, which opened Sunday, puts the focus squarely on the birthday boy himself, with three weeks of concerts highlighting the crown jewels of his career as well as some chamber-music gems. For the first two years after it began in the 1970s, the VMF programmed all-Mozart concerts. But as most Mozart fests do, it soon expanded to include a broadly defined range of the main man’s musical ancestors and descendants, such as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Gershwin. For VMF Artistic Director Mel Kaplan, celebrating the 250th meant aiming for variety “within the framework of doing an immense amount of Mozart repertoire.” Kaplan also wanted to honor the composer by concentrating on “the two aspects of his writing that were the most important to him,” he explains — his use of the piano and opera. “And so we did as much of both of those things as we could.” Several concerts feature international soloists well versed in keyboard: pianists Menahem Pressler and Jean-Claude Pennetier — who performs both with and without his Paris Piano Trio comrades. And while opera is a little trickier to incorporate in a mostly outdoor festival, conductor William Metcalfe — a VMF co-founder along with Kaplan — has arranged a condensed concert version of

7/3/06 1:00:04 PM

The Magic Flute to be performed from Shelburne Farms’ South Porch. A special twist on emphasizing Mozart’s pianoforte — and paying tribute to the man behind the music — is a concert this Thursday called “In His Own Words.” Cheryl Willoughby of Vermont Public Radio will read excerpts from Mozart’s letters between performances of several violin and piano sonatas. Violinist Harumi Rhodes, the festival orchestra’s concertmaster, and veteran VMF keyboardist Elizabeth Metcalfe join Willoughby for the intimate evening at Richmond’s Round Church. By using the violin and piano pieces, “We encompassed the lifetime of composition through the program,” says Kaplan. The sonata selections span Mozart’s composing career from childhood whiz kid to mature master. He wrote the first one on the program at age 7, the last one just three years before he died. Willoughby felt the sonatas and letters fit well together as a way to look more deeply at Mozart’s story. “One of my personal passions in life is looking at where music came from,” she says. She’s intrigued by the “connection between the real world” and art – how aspects of culture and history inspired individual creators or influenced entire movements. Following Mozart’s life through the sonatas he wrote and the letters that correlate with them “seemed like a natural journey, a natural path to take,” Willoughby says. To select excerpts for the concert, she reviewed all of Mozart’s extant letters. “Reading them, you get an incredible insight to his character: how he thought, what he thought about his own music,” she says. And the composer was a prolific correspondent, in part because he spent almost a third of his life on the road, performing abroad from the age of 5. His first “letters,” according to Willoughby, are actually “postscripts to his father’s letters — he was

so young,” in which he sent greetings back home to his mother or sister. The letters grew to include “a lot of very colorful images of where he was traveling and who he met,” Willoughby continues. “And anecdotes about other composers — oftentimes very funny, cutting remarks about their musicality or the Emperor Joseph’s ability — or lack of

Mozart’s mother died while traveling abroad with her son, and the 22-year-old Wolfgang wrote to his family’s chaplain in Salzburg. He wanted the priest to tell his father and sister only that his mother was gravely ill, so that Mozart would have time to return home and break the bad news himself. “I beg you . . . watch over my father for me and try to give him

Mozart’s letters include “anecdotes about other composers — oftentimes very funny, cutting remarks about their musicality or the Emperor Joseph’s ability — or lack of ability — with music. CHERYL WILLOUGHBY, VPR ability — with music.” The charm that shines through so much of Mozart’s musical writing also comes through in his words, Willoughby notes. “He was a wonderfully funny man. He was acute and keen, thoughtful and insightful with the people around him, very aware. He strikes me as incredibly bright — sharp, so playful.” While the smart and silly side of Mozart is familiar to many, some of his letters reveal a more emotionally complex man than is commonly known. “He had a deep family life — a very deep connection with his sister,” Willoughby reports. “And when he finally married Constanze, he made a beautiful appeal to his father, who didn’t approve of the marriage for various reasons.” At age 25, Wolfgang wrote his father a passionate defense of his bride. “The voice of nature speaks as loud to me as in others, louder, perhaps, than in many a big strong lout of a fellow.” The most poignant epistle comes from three years earlier.

courage so that, when he hears the worst, he may not take it too hardly.” For Willoughby, this letter is the emotional high point of the program. “It is very revealing in many ways — his love for his mother and his father and his sister; his appeal to his abbot to try to cushion the blow, to prepare them for it,” she says. “It’s a great insight into the relationship he had with his father, which has been portrayed as antagonistic at times.” On the program, this letter is followed by the stirring Sonata No. 21 in E minor for violin and piano, which the composer wrote shortly after his mother died. While many of the pieces he penned at this point in his career were commissions meant to please specific clients, “This comes straight from the heart, not the pocketbook,” says Willoughby. “It’s very powerful music.” Paired together, the letter and the sonata constitute “one of the rare personal insights we have to Mozart.” Willoughby hopes this words-andmusic format proves popular. “I’d like to think that the letters will add a dimension of understanding,” she says, especially “for people who may know Mozart in one way — the guy with the off-kilter wig sitting on the piano bench making jokes and playing backwards.” She and Kaplan are already cooking up a similar program as part of the festival’s Winter Series. It’s scheduled for January 27, 2007 — the day everyone’s favorite Austrian turns 251. m

MOZART’S BIRTHDAY GIFT In honor of the composer’s big birthday, Seven Days asked a few Vermont Mozart Festival musicians: What’s the best gift Mozart has given you — a favorite piece or challenging passage, for example? What does this “gift” mean to you, personally or professionally?

ts presen

the 14th annual

South end

PATRICK WOOD, VIOLIN “That’s easy. The gift he’s given me is the knowledge that something profound can be expressed in music without unnecessary complexity or anxiety — something which makes everyone feel both more human and better humans than they were before. There’s not much more that anyone can ask.”

DOV MICHAEL SCHILLER, PERCUSSION “Mozart’s Viennese Sonatina No. 4 has always been dear to my heart. When I was 13 years old I memorized this piece, and have always been able to soothe both myself and my children with these sounds and rhythms.”

WILLIAM METCALFE, CONDUCTOR “In the “Jupiter Symphony,” there is one short passage of modulation which is both perfectly straightforward and an example of absolute genius at work — pure magic, it never fails to give me the shivers!”

DAVETTA FARIA, VIOLIN “I once had a parakeet, Yehudi — named for Yehudi Menuhin — that chirped along enthusiastically each time he heard Mozart, either on radio, recording or when I was practicing something by this composer. Did he do the same with other composers? Yes, a few, and only sometimes, but Mozart elicited this pure and enthusiastic response always. Could it be that Mozart’s genius sometimes spills over into the animal kingdom as well? I can only speak for one parakeet, but my answer would be yes.”

EVIL UNLEASHED!

INDEPENDENT INTEREST

I just received a promo copy of Spread Your Evil Wings and Fly, the latest CD from Burlington’s rock oddities James Kochalka Superstar. It’s the band’s first full-length of new material for Rykodisc, who issued a career retrospective, Our Most Beloved, last year. In addition to its namesake, the album features bassist Jason Cooley, guitarist Creston Lea, drummers Neil Cleary and Pascal Spengeman, and keyboardist/recording engineer Peter Katis. Katis’ behind-the-boards wizardry helped make gloomy rockers Interpol a hipster sensation. The production is topnotch, and the boys sound even more fired up than usual. “This Is How We Rock” is particularly ballsy, with arena-worthy guitars and fist-in-the-air backing vocals. But it’s not all meathead stomp: “Chooglin’ to the Nth Degree” is a cute ’n’ fuzzy acoustic sing-along with tasty organ work and hand claps. And the multilayered vocal refrain on “Britney’s Silver Can” is truly a thing of wonder. Not long ago the disc’s release date was up in the air. Needless to say, members were a little frustrated. And who can blame ’em? They started recording the songs back in 2001. Cooley recently blogged about Evil Wings’ long gestation at www.IbRecords.com. “Imagine being pregnant for two years and then giving birth to your child only to have it taken away with just a picture to remember it by until it started kindergarten,” he writes. “I care about this CD a lot. I’ve thought about it every day for what seems like forever.” Now it’s here. Well, at least the promos. Regular folks won’t be able to get their hands on it until September 12. No, you can’t borrow my copy. I sent Lea, Kochalka and Cooley a congratulatory email before I’d even managed to peel off the shrinkwrap. Lea was quick to reply: “Get ready to have your natural mind blown,” he shot back. I don’t imagine the album will actually damage my brain. At least, I hope not. But it definitely rules.

Last Sunday’s New York Times featured an article headlined “The Graying of the Record Store.” As its title indicates, the piece was about the changing customer base at independent music shops. Instead of youthful hipsters debating the finer points of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, these days it’s an older crowd hanging around. The story got me thinking about Burlington’s own indie CD store, Pure Pop Records. (Full disclosure: I was once the assistant manager there.) I placed a call to PP manager Michael Crandall to see how his experience compares with other proprietors’. There was indeed some common ground. “I would say there’s been a change,” he says. “We’ve definitely lost some of the kids. The new Mark Knopfler seems to sell as well as it would’ve 10 years ago, but obviously a lot of people are downloading.” The decline in record store profitability began well before iTunes and file sharing. “The first blow came with CD burning,” Crandall explains. “You would no longer sell tons and tons of Dave Matthews or Ben Harper. It really affected the college-age base. Now I see the iPod doing the same thing with indie-rock.” Many stores have diversified their stock to include non-musical items such as gadgets and collectibles. While this might work for larger retailers, smaller shops lack the necessary floor space. Although Pure Pop carries novelty candy, soda and even hemp lip balm, Crandall says sidelines will never be a major focus. “It’s a nice little ‘fill-thecorners’ kind of thing,” he offers. “We’re not gonna kill a section to put in toys.”

Like several stores mentioned in the Times story, Pure Pop does brisk business selling used discs online. “We’re having a lot of success with that,” says Crandall. “And you need a storefront for people to bring their used stuff to. [Online sales] helps the margins, and you can sell some of the weird stuff that’s harder to move.” But stuffing envelopes can be a pain in the ass. “It’s very time-consuming to list, sell and ship,” he says. “There are a lot of little steps.” There have been other, more subtle changes. “We’re trying to get the staff to play music that’s more appropriate for what our customer base is now,” Crandall says. In other words, Scandinavian metal isn’t always good background music for browsing. “Some people don’t want to be hearing out-of-control music on a Saturday afternoon.” Maybe they’re saving it for Sunday morning. Traditionally, indie-store employees have been more knowledgeable about music than their chain-store counterparts. I should know: I’ve been both. And let’s face it, getting turned on to new tunes by an enthusiastic human being is difficult to replicate digitally. I popped by Pure Pop the other day to find them spinning an obscure psych-rock record I’d not previously heard of. Staffer Josh LaClair told me its entire backstory. And subsequently made a sale. Mass extinctions have happened before. Drive-in movie theaters were once a major part of America’s cultural landscape, but now there are hardly any left. Could indie shops be next? Even big retail is feeling the effects of a soft record industry; Tower Records recently declared bankruptcy. And there could be more shakeups on the way. “It’ll be interesting to see if stores like Borders and Barnes & Noble will even stay in the music business,” Crandall says. “The margins are disappearing for CDs.” But despite the proliferation of downloadable media, Crandall believes physical product still has appeal. Lord knows retail browsing is the only exercise some Americans get. “They have to get out of the house sometime,” he says. “And shopping is something to do.” So take your finger off the mouse for a minute and go chat it up with your neighborhood record store friends.

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS Sometimes it’s nice to mix things up. That’s exactly what songwriters Gregory Douglass, Anaïs Mitchell and Patrick Fitzsimmons will do at Waitsfield’s Bundy Center for the Arts on Friday, July 21. The three talented Vermonters are coming together for “Songwriters in the Round,” a show that seems perfect for those with short attention spans. Here’s how it works: A musician will perform an original tune and then pass the torch to the next songwriter. This will continue until one of ’em drops. Just kidding. But that would make a great Japanese game show, wouldn’t it? The 7:30 p.m. concert is $10 for adults and $5 for kids. Tickets are available at the door or by calling 496-4781, ext. 26. m

Catch them at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday with locals The Jazz Guys and Portland, Maine’s Phantom Buffalo.

reviewthis THE LIMES, BEST OF THE ZEST

DAN ZURA, WHAT MOVES YOU KID

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD) Being in the school band used to mean playing lame arrangements of even lamer songs with a burned-out instructor who can’t understand why kids don’t like Paul Anka. My, how times have changed. Cabot, Vermont’s The Limes are a high school band under the guidance of a far more progressive music teacher, trumpeter Brian Boyes. Instead of performing starchy jazz or rock-lite, The Limes deliver sultry funk and pop-soul. The 15-member ensemble sounds like its members have spent years on the club circuit. All the tracks on this debut disc, Best of the Zest, are Limes/Boyes originals, with the exception of Bobby Hebb’s “Sunny,� and the moody George Gershwin standard “Summertime.� “Far From Sane� kicks things off with class, no pun intended. With its steamy horn lines and hooky chorus, the song lays like a lost cut from a ’60s Motown girl group. The vocals by Hannah Pitkin are shockingly good; she’s a Diana Ross in the making. “Lowdown� is a razor-sharp funk cut reminiscent of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.� Everything sounds hip, from the whip-smart arrangement to drummer Andy Feltus’ in-the-pocket grooves. The Limes’ authentic sound comes from their choice of instrumentation. Vintage keyboards such as the Hammond B-3 and clavinet give the music a deliciously old-school feel. The six-piece horn section provides plenty of color and punch. “Summertime� has been covered zillions of times, by artists ranging from Billie Holliday to Me First & the Gimmie Gimmies. The Limes put the heat on simmer, turning in a respectful version with understated horn shouts and lock-step rhythms. Their take on “Sunny� is funky fun, with chiming vibraphone running alongside clavinet vamps and a steamy disco backbeat. Pitkin makes the song her own, with hearty melodic dips and dives. Someone get this diva a pair of platform shoes. “Scream and Cry� is another original with vintage pop shimmy and soulful shake, while album closer “Shelter� combines the locomotion of groove-rock with the bounce of ska. It’s hard to imagine that musicians who only recently earned their drivers’ licenses have made such a mature-sounding record. Best of the Zest should be handed out to educators nationwide as an example of quality music education. Kudos to Boyes for understanding that if you give kids the chance to shine, they’ll rarely disappoint you.

CASEY REA

Throw discs by Jeff Buckley, Devendra Banhart and the Violent Femmes’ Gordon Gano into a blender, then randomly re-assemble the pieces, and you might end up with something like What Moves You Kid, the debut from Montpelier singer-songwriter Dan Zura. Recorded live over two afternoons in March 2006, the album is a playful, sometimes melancholy effort, featuring some truly endearing snapshots of the songwriter’s life. However, Zura fails to completely distinguish himself from his influences. The CD opens with “Good Socks,� a country-blues song that showcases Zura’s ability to pluck away on his guitar while sweetly crooning. “I’m gonna scrub my table today / I’m gonna scrub my table / Ain’t doing no dishes / I leave them where they lay,� Zura sings. It’s a carefree, if safe, introduction to a record that later changes vibe for the better. “New Eyes� is a far more interesting selection. The slow, minor-key number is reminiscent of the more somber cuts on Neil Young’s classic After the Gold Rush. Over sparse instrumentation, Zura uses his quivering voice to fine effect. The sober mood is enhanced by a few choice lyrics: “It’s a hard day when it’s true / That someone you love don’t love you / And someone you don’t love, loves you,� he sings. It’s definitely an album highlight. In “Boring Mamma Rag,� Zura explores a classic New Orleans sound. The song has a couple of interesting changes, but unfortunately is a little too mild-mannered. This might have something to do with the title. Zura employs a familiar rag structure on “Snowdrops,� and to stronger effect. Despite its relative simplicity, the song is remarkably well crafted, its down-to-earth sound enhanced by Zura’s tasteful harmonica playing. He really hits his stride on “I Can’t Find the War,� a soft-spoken reflection on the cloudy nature of our current military engagements. Zura’s personal confusion and wariness will likely ring true for many listeners. The real strength of What Moves You Kid lies in this songwriter’s earnest performances. In an era of computer-based edits and post-production gimmicks, it’s nice to hear an artist so committed to his material.

ARTWORK “Jaquelin and Heather” by Phebe Mott

PHOTO Marc Awodey

or a figurative painter, the best subjects are sometimes the most mundane. Consider Milton Avery’s lyrical yet almost primitive beach paintings, with titles as simple as “Haircut by the Sea” and “Dog by the Sea.” Phebe Mott’s solo exhibition, “Summer Serendipity,” at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery, includes 20 paintings and smaller works with equally unpretentious themes. Like Avery, Mott builds sturdy compositions with pedestrian subjects unencumbered by superfluous details. It is therefore easier to find greater meaning within them. “I feel drawn to the flashes of life that might not get a lot of attention — an old woman walking down the street, a man reaching for a cup of coffee,” Mott states on her website. “These are moments that we don’t think about, and I like to think I’m giving them some importance.” The Hinesburg artist won Best in Show at this year’s Art’s Alive festival in Burlington, and her unaffected themes no doubt help make her work memorable. But how Mott paints is even more important than what she paints. The 60-by-18-inch vertical acrylic “Grandpa and Phebe Are Sailing” shimmers with feathery brushwork. Mott applies her colors in distinct lay-

ers. For this painting she blended whites and cerulean blue above a high horizon, cobalt and ultramarine in the water below. Her brushstrokes create rippling rhythms in the simple arrangement of diagonal stripes that form the sail. Two small figures perched in the boat seem delicate and centered, literally and figuratively, as the sailboat glides through the fair afternoon. “Man with Oars” also has a sailing theme. The 60-by-52-inch blue-andwhite painting shares many similarities with “Grandpa and Phebe Are Sailing,” but has a broader range of lines. The man, waist-deep in the lake, carries oars out to a small boat with furled sails. Wavy lines of differing weights describe the reflections of the mast, the ropes and the man himself. Rather than glazing thin layers of paint, Mott generally chooses to scumble. In that process she often drags neutral hues over warm ones, which picks up the textures as well as the colors of preceding paint layers: The steel gray of the schoolyard sidewalk in “Rain” was dragged over a red underpainting; a mixture of darker hues was brushed over the yellow ocher of the beauty-shop rug in “The Wedding VIII (Lea).” Mott also adds sand, modeling paste and other for-

eign ingredients to her paint, giving her surfaces a textural dimension. The 30-by-36-inch “Jaquelin and Heather,” an abstract double portrait, includes some of Mott’s most elaborate textural layers. Collaged under the figures are swirls of cutout sandpaper, or something similar; gritty shapes under the sky’s blue seem like rushing clouds or invisible gusts of wind. Avery said of his work, “I try to construct a picture in which shapes, spaces, colors, form a set of unique relationships, independent of any subject matter.” This dedication to abstract formalism is at once intuitive and consciously constructed. Mott seems to have similar inclinations. Her oldest painting in the show, from 1999, is the 36-by-24-inch abstract landscape entitled “Green Sky.” In it, blue mountains recede into the distance, passing from deep indigo to lighter turquoise and crested by deepcrimson ridgelines; the sky is a flat, acidic green. Although Mott produced “Green Sky” while still a student at the University of Vermont, its forthright brand of abstraction remains evident in her current work. As her painting continues to mature, Mott’s portrayals of “moments that we don’t think about” are likely to gain wider recognition. m

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

China Syndrome

O PHOTO Jordan Silverman “The Past Within the Present: Contemporary Classical Chinese Paintings,” Middlebury College Museum of Art. Through August 13.

ne of the Western world’s finest collections of Chinese ink drawings created in the last 20 years is currently on view at the Middlebury College Museum of Art, and the collectors live right down the road. John and Alice Berninghausen of Cornwall lent more than 50 works by 28 “contemporary classical” Chinese artists for the exhibit, titled “The Past Within the Present.” The show celebrates the 30th anniversary of the school’s Chinese Studies department, which John Berninghausen co-founded. In these ink-on-paper paintings, the delicately drawn riffs on traditional themes exude an exuberance that has characterized China’s art since the mid-1980s. Once Maoist aesthetic orthodoxy was deposited in history’s dustbin, younger artists began incorporating Western influences into their work. The Middlebury show abounds with examples of Modernist images adapted to an old medium and produced with brushstroke techniques used by generations of artists long dead. The exhibit opens with Xu Lele’s satirical interpretations of figures

ALICE AND JOHN BERNINGHAUSEN

Chinese practitioners of ink drawing. These artists had grown increasingly candid with the two fluent foreigners as China quietly abandoned its rigid communist ideology.

The Berninghausens worried they might be squandering their modest assets on work that few Westerners would ever understand, much less respect. from classical Chinese stories. Hanging nearby is a scroll almost entirely covered by a giant human face drawn by Lu Fusheng, a 56-yearold Shanghai artist. Wang Mengxi, born in 1947, is represented by a pair of female nudes in erotic poses — unthinkable in the prudish Maoist era. Another 20 or so of the stylistically modern yet traditionally executed drawings, not part of the public exhibit, can be found 5 miles from campus, at the Berninghausens’ home. The collectors are as fascinating as the artworks. Their airy woodand-glass house, inspired in part by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, looks toward undulating hills that frame flights of migrating geese in autumn and spring. No wonder the Berninghausens have dubbed it Wang Yan Po — Mandarin for “Gazing at Wild Goose Ridge.” Most of the couple’s initial purchases were made at galleries in Bangkok, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore and Seoul. Until the early 1990s, works by contemporary Chinese artists were much easier to find on the periphery of the People’s Republic itself. These outlets were patronized mainly by Chinese living abroad; few Westerners were collecting such art in those days, Berninghausen recalls. By the late ’80s, he and Alice had also begun buying pieces directly from artists in Mainland cities, having formed friendships with several

“Many artists then in their thirties or forties returned to the mainstream of Chinese painting,” Berninghausen explains. Their embrace of pre-revolutionary art may have resulted in part from their almost complete lack of awareness of the Modernist style developed in Europe and the United States. Near the close of the Middlebury show are expressionist portraits of urban couples wearing Western suits and looking anxious and confused. These denizens of the new China may be responding to their culture’s rapid makeover with a bewilderment similar to what Berninghausen experienced when he first encountered Chinese society in 1962. A Minnesota native, he took a semester off from the state university to travel to Taiwan, where his parents had moved for a year. Berninghausen’s father, a dean and librarian at the University of Minnesota, had been invited to Taiwan by the exiled Mainlanders who took control of the island as the communists established the People’s Republic. Then a 21-year-old sophomore majoring in Spanish, Berninghausen learned rudimentary Mandarin in preparation for his visit. “But I was wholly unprepared for the depth of Chinese culture,” he says. Although his politically liberal father was no fan of Taiwan’s conservative leader Chiang Kai Shek, the senior Berninghausen was regularly fêted by the island’s elite. Conversations with

refined and scholarly Chinese awakened in the young man “a realization of how abysmally ignorant we Americans were in those years in regard to a sophisticated culture that was not Western.” Back in Minnesota, he decided to double-major in Chinese and Spanish. He ultimately enrolled in Stanford’s PhD program in Chinese language and literature “because I figured I could hang on to my Spanish but would lose my Chinese unless I kept at it.” In March 1972, six months after Richard Nixon made his door-opening visit to Red China, Berninghausen was invited to the country as part of a delegation of the Committee of Concerned Asian Scholars. China’s communist leaders had solicited this tour by Americans opposed to the Vietnam War. Berninghausen was then a fervent antiwar activist; he also viewed Mao Zedong as a revolutionary hero. But his exposure to actual social and political conditions in China led to disillusionment. “The reality was the opposite of the rhetoric,” he says. Nonetheless, Berninghausen bought several revolutionary posters as souvenirs, finding them aesthetically appealing despite their hackneyed portrayals of smiling Red Guards. Years later he would learn that some of these posters were the products of artists whose ink drawings he and Alice had begun collecting. In 1973, Berninghausen accepted a job offer at the University of Vermont. He taught there for three years before being asked to help establish a Chinese Studies program at Middlebury. That same year, the Berninghausens married. Alice, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., accompanied her husband to Taiwan during his 1980 sabbatical from Middlebury. She, too, was immediately attracted to Chinese culture, and studied Mandarin while caring for the first of the couple’s two children. She can’t say why they were so taken with the ink paintings. “They just resonated,” Alice says. At the

time, they were able to purchase the works for under $250 each. Those works have appreciated in value 15-fold over the past decade, John Berninghausen notes. China’s dynamo economy has spawned a hyperactive art market in which prices are now prohibitive for middle-class Western tourists. The artists themselves have prospered greatly. But newfound riches have not caused them to shun old supporters. The Berninghausens now occasionally receive gifts of drawings from celebrity artists who were working in obscurity just 15 years ago. “In China, friendship is forever,” he explains. While the pair’s early collecting seems brilliantly perceptive in retrospect, at the time the Berninghausens worried they might be squandering their modest assets on work that few Westerners would ever understand, much less respect. Despite these insecurities, they spent heavily on the drawings in anticipation of a 1991 show that Middlebury had agreed to host. That exhibit did not attract much attention in the U.S., but artists in China saw it as a breakthrough. And they urged their American patrons to become more knowledgeable about the history of the pen-and-ink medium. The Berninghausens took that advice and became experts in Chinese art. That self-taught expertise will soon manifest in a book on the subject the couple is writing. Part of the research included interviews with more than 50 contemporary Chinese masters, a process that required translating some 200 hours of taped talk in a variety of dialects. “We also had to learn a whole specialized vocabulary,” Berninghausen says. “There are umpteen different words for ‘brushstroke.’” Lingering misconceptions aside, “Americans are seeing at last that other cultures have wonderfully exalted attributes,” he believes. Berninghausen hopes viewers of the collection at Middlebury will see that “You can innovate in art by returning to the past.” m

n what members of the medical community are calling an unprecedented development, a man who recently awoke from a 19-year coma has asked doctors to put him back to sleep. At a press conference in Jacksonville, Fla., today, the man, Jason Deloit, 43, told reporters that at first he was excited to be conscious again, “But then I turned on the TV.” Mr. Deloit said that the first images he saw on television were those of President George W. Bush giving a press conference. “I was happy at first, because I thought, well, good, ‘Saturday Night Live’ is still on, and that’s my favorite show,” he said. “Then I realized that it was actually the real president at the White House, and I became very depressed.” After hearing the president

½ Lounge is hands-down the best bar in Burlington if you are looking for a sophisticated setting with a warm ambiance and tasty drinks. The drinks can be a bit pricey, but in my opinion, that just keeps out the riff raff — i.e. college students looking for quarter beers — which is always a good thing. Reviewed on May 13, 2006

BY RICK KISONAK

PREVIEWS

You, Me and Dupree HH

I WELCOME MATT Dillon invites disaster when he opens his home to his best friend.

t’s official: Joe and Anthony Russo will not be the next Farrelly brothers. In the history of filmmaking, few creative teams have fallen ass-backward into good fortune and celebrity connections the way this pair has. Despite all the lucky breaks and lofty dreams, though, they’ve emerged as dime-adozen hacks. It all started in the late ’90s. The brothers attended film school, dreamed of making movies that broke all the rules, and scraped together enough money to produce a small, independent film. They took their little project, Pieces — which they’ve described in interviews as “riotous and experimental” — to New York City to put on a screening. The audience at that showing miraculously included Slamdance director John Fitzgerald, who miraculously agreed to book the picture. Days after it played at the festival, the Russos received a phone call from someone claiming to be Steven Soderbergh. At first they thought the call was a prank, but the person on the line did indeed turn out to be the famous director. Soderbergh had caught their movie and detected tremendous promise in the brothers’ work. And here’s where things really got fairy-tale freaky: He not only offered the young filmmakers his personal patronage but introduced them to George Clooney and helped to hook them up with Section 8, the star’s newly formed production company. With that as its opening chapter, you might think the Russo brothers’ story couldn’t possibly have anything but the happiest of endings. Think again. Here’s what happened: The fraternal filmmakers had a vision. They would collaborate with Soderbergh and Clooney on a series of edgy films unified by a common setting: the neighborhoods of Cleveland. From that vision came the 2002 heist caper Welcome to Collinwood, which most critics and audiences found neither riotous nor experimental. Many reviews described it as a blue-collar version of the heist caper Oceans Eleven. Coincidentally, Soderbergh and Clooney had released their remake of that picture in 2001. Clooney appeared in both. Which one do you remember? So much for indie glory. Accustomed to instant success, the brothers became disheartened, abandoned their grand vision, and took jobs directing in television, where their credits include work on “Lucky” and “LAX,” among other shows. Nearly half a decade later, here they are with their second feature film. It’s not too much of a stretch to say that the Russos’ artistic vision has evolved. “Breaking all the rules,” for example, has been replaced with the credo: “Just take any

cretinous piece of fluff Hollywood will pay you to make.” You, Me and Dupree satisfies the standards of their revised mission in spades. Remember the classic SNL sketch in which John Belushi played a houseguest from hell, obliviously helping himself to snacks and monopolizing the TV remote late into the night as the couple whose couch he occupied slowly lost their minds? Substitute Owen Wilson for Belushi and update the host couple to Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson, and you’ve pretty much got the set-up for this lightweight, third-wheel comedy. The story opens as Dillon and Hudson have just been united in a lavish island ceremony. Her father, played by Michael Douglas, is a cartoon of a soulless land developer with misgivings about his new son-in-law, who also happens to be a mid-level employee in his company. Just as the newlyweds return home and settle into life in their suburban love nest, Dillon’s best friend (Wilson) loses his job, car and apartment due to a chronic case of arrested development. Like a character in a poorly written sitcom, Dillon invites him to move in temporarily without bothering to consult his wife. The story’s arc is not entirely unforeseeable. For the first half of the film, Hudson gradually becomes fed up with Owen’s lovable, screw-up antics. He records a message on their answering machine, unilaterally orders HBO, and almost burns down the house in the course of a candlelit date. For the second half, it’s Dillon who does a slow burn. Once Hudson develops a soft spot for the doe-eyed manchild, the overworked husband becomes seized by the paranoid fantasy that his best friend is attempting to put the moves on her. There is little or no basis for this suspicion, so as the film grinds on, Dillon’s character becomes increasingly unsympathetic. A subplot in which Douglas tries to sabotage his daughter’s marriage rings equally fake, like a half-baked Meet the Parents rip-off. Wilson infuses the occasional scene with his patented slacker-savant charm, but the screenplay by Michael Le Sieur offers him precious little to work with. The dialogue and physical comedy are, for the most part, woefully beneath the actor. It’s a long way down from Wedding Crashers to crashing a 10-speed into an oncoming car. It’s an obvious judgment to pass, perhaps, but You, Me and Dupree is a picture that is obvious in almost every respect, so I’ll pass it anyway: Long before its closing credits roll, this comedy will have worn out its welcome. m

CLERKS 2: Writer-director Kevin Smith checks back in with New Jersey check-out clerks Dante Hicks and Randal Graves and reports back on the changes the two über-slackers have gone through over the past 10-plus years.

RONEN SCHECHNER

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Timely Imports ous, then, that It’s About Time seems to avoid noticing the proverbial elephant in the room. “We interviewed all ages and all walks of life. The directors’ choice was that they all would be Jewish,” Schechner points out. “There’s some racial diversity, but no Arabs or Palestinians — which would automatically make it political. This film is not political.” There are never easy answers in any discussion of Israel, which Schechner says is “about the same size as Vermont but with 7 million people, and here you have 600,000. ” A graduate of Tel Aviv University with a 10-year career in film and television, he first paid a yearlong visit to the Queen City in 1998. Schechner had read in a magazine “that Burlington is one of the best places in the U.S.” He and his wife Tamar, an American raised in Israel, were pleased to find a local Waldorf School for their three boys. Schechner made TV commercials for a bank and documentaries for an organization that takes choirs all over the world. From 1999 through 2005, he worked on other projects back in his homeland. It’s About Time, which ticks along for 55 minutes to the accompaniment of a jazz score, may have the most overseas appeal. After returning to the U.S., Schechner filmed a PBS “Frontline” program about Israeli Prime Minister

Ehud Ohmert and shot interviews for a documentary about peace in Israel — lately a quaint notion. “I also do wellness consulting,” Schechner adds. “I studied homeopathy in 1989 because I was looking for something more spiritual.” Check out www.icvt.org for details about Sunday’s screening. Terrorism has a primarily fundamentalist face these days. Three decades ago in Italy, militant Marxists were wreaking havoc. Good Morning, Night partially fictionalizes a genuine episode: the 1978 kidnapping of Aldo Moro, the country’s former premier. Written and directed by Marco Bellocchio, the poetic thriller is on tap Saturday at 7 and 9:30 p.m. in Dana Auditorium, courtesy of the Middlebury College Language Schools 2006 International Film Festival. The movie centers on four young members of the Red Brigades, selfstyled “revolutionary soldiers” who imprison Moro (Roberto Herlizka) in a Rome apartment. Although he comes across as a dignified eminence grise, his captors consider him a sym-

bol of the bourgeois ruling class. Unlike her strident comrades, Chiara (Maya Sansa) feels sympathy for this supposed devil. The only woman in the quartet, she contrasts the increasingly grim situation with her family’s proud heritage of fighting fascists in the 1930s and ’40s. Meanwhile, the Pope declines to intervene and the government refuses to negotiate. Many historians contend that Moro’s own center-right Christian Democrat Party had decided his martyrdom would provide an ideal excuse for the crackdown on dissent that followed. Bellocchio delves into magic realism by dramatizing Chiara’s guilt-ridden dreams. And officials seeking supernatural advice in a séance, a scene presumably based on true accounts, is something the mad dictator in novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Autumn of the Patriarch might have done. On the soundtrack, “Shine On, You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd (a classic song about exbandmate Syd Barrett, who died last week) contributes to the sense of a society becoming unhinged. 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.

There are THREE factors used to evaluate real estate: location. Couples are united by wedding bonds that often come UNTIED. Those who crave roast turkey don’t always want to CARVE it. Salted nuts and dim sum are SLATED for the hors d’oeuvre table. Johnny Depp’s ROGUE pirate uses no rouge but lots of eye makeup. A small backyard POOL is not a great place for water polo. Homer Simpson is a much bigger brat than his son BART Simpson. Chorus girls can be FIRED if they eat too much fried dough. As TSARS go, Peter the Great was one of the brighter stars. Cheese CURD that’s been sitting out too long will turn into crud. Mountaineering equipment varies with both latitude and ALTITUDE. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: TOO EASY. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

loody conflict roils the Middle East again, but war is not the focus of a documentary from Israel unspooling in Burlington on Sunday evening. Instead, It’s About Time poses philosophical questions. And that really suits Ronen Schechner, a Shelburne resident who is the film’s cinematographer. The 46-year-old Tel Aviv native brought his family to Vermont last summer in search of a less turbulent existence. “We moved here because I was looking for a change in how we live. Also, at 16, children are obliged to join the Israeli Army,” explains Schechner, whose oldest son is now 15. The 2001 doc, in Hebrew with English subtitles, will be presented for free at 7 p.m. on Sunday as part of the Israel Center of Vermont’s monthly film series at 212 Battery Street. “The subject was very hard to bring to the screen,” Schechner says. “It’s something you can’t catch — it’s time.” A Variety review was favorable: “What looks like a commonplace topic gets thoughtful and memorably clever treatment . . . a colorfully shot pic, which contemplates the nature of time, both in its universal and uniquely Israeli settings.” The two female filmmakers, Ayelet Meahemi and Elona Ariel, named their production company Karuna, which means “compassion for all sentient beings” in Sanskrit.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > JULY 19-26

www.sevendaysvt.com/calendar

WED. 19 - TUE. 25

CRUNCH TIME

Spectacle seekers can bite into the Big Apple this week, when the New York City-based nonprofit circus co-founded by Dartmouth grad Paul Binder brings Hollywood to Hanover. Under a brand-new, star-spangled big top that seats more than 17,000, the circus’ signature “old lady” clown “Grandma” leads a trapezeladen tribute to Tinseltown. Acts channeling celluloid glory span sci-fi, Westerns, romances and other film genres via a famous English equestrienne, a Chinese teeterboard troupe, a live band buzzing with an original score, and a Chilean family act with slide-riding, dancing dogs. Silent-film antics give way to the talkies through an Italian ventriloquist well versed in parrot patter, and lots of Chaplinesque slapstick clowning ensues. Pie fights and toreadors? Roll ’em!

BIG APPLE CIRCUS Wednesday through Tuesday, July 19-25, Fullington Farm, Lyme Road, Hanover, N.H., see calendar for various times. $12-34. Info, 603646-2422. www.bigapplecircus.org

scene@VT SCENIC CLUSTER DOG SHOW CHAMPLAIN VALLEY EXPOSITION, ESSEX JUNCTION, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 9 A.M. – 7 P.M. I own two rambunctious mutts, which technically makes me a “dog person,� but I felt like an outsider at the dog show Friday afternoon. The men and women standing at attention in the ring were as well-groomed and as well-behaved as their large, purebred pooches. One by one, each pair approached a judge, who peered at the dogs’ teeth and quickly stroked its legs and tail. Then handler and dog trotted down an aisle while the half a dozen or so spectators clapped and cheered. Frankly, I found it puzzling. I sought a guide to explain this strange subculture, which is how I met Susan Burrell. The Danville, New Hampshire, woman is a professional dog handler. She carted 11 canines to this competition, none of them hers. I spoke with her moments after the judge eliminated “Bo,� the 115-pound Burmese Mountain Dog she had entered in the Working Dog competition. A petite woman, Burrell looked like she weighed about as much as the dog — maybe less. She said people pay her to show their pets because the job is more difficult than it looks. “It’s not just walking the dog around,� she said. The handler must also coach the dog to be calm but “expressive.� And the handler has to deal with drool. Burmese Mountain Dogs aren’t supposed to slobber, but Bo was all goobered up. Before they met the judge, Burrell wiped his mouth on the inside of her long black dress. She didn’t have time to change. Once Bo was back in his crate, she began grooming “Big,� a Miniature American Eskimo. She plopped the small white puffball onto her grooming station and spritzed him with “bodifier� to fluff up his coat. Then she brushed and combed him, and rubbed his legs with powder to make them look bigger. Big lounged as if he were at a spa. Burrell sent her two daughters to find some real liver for Big. “If they don’t have the very best of everything,� she told me, “they don’t perform well in the ring. And they don’t win.� 2x2-VtBrewersFest070506 6/28/06 2:49 PM Page 1 CATHY1x4-Savoy071906 RESMER

SATURDAY 22

BACK TO THE LAND

Anyone anxious about sprawl can appreciate the Vermont Land Trust’s mission. Since 1977, the nonprofit has helped protect more than 440,000 acres, or 7.5 percent of the state’s privately held real estate, via conservation easements, which help landowners limit development while keeping their land available for farming, forestry and recreation. A celebration honors open space this Saturday, when VLT supporters can paddle along East Creek, bicycle around Addison County, or walk through a rare clay-plain forest. A lunchtime keynote, by yogurt mogul Gary Hirshberg of New Hampshire-based organic dairy Stonyfield Farm, addresses family-farm-friendly business development. Afterward, oeno- and turophiles graze at a Vermont wine-and-cheese tasting, with live music from nationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Slaid Cleaves.

VERMONT LAND TRUST CELEBRATION Saturday, July 22, Champlain Orchards, Shoreham, 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. $12-28. Registration and info, 800-639-1709. www.vlt.org

DRESSING THE PART

Pirates are fun. Johnny Depp has given the seafaring species of rum-swilling ascot-wearers new cachet as Captain Jack Sparrow, the interestingly macho-yet-mincing lead in Disney’s blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean films. The series’ second flick, Dead Man’s Chest, opened July 7, and has already broken box-office records. Supporters of Lyric Theater Company dress up to get in on the doubloon-generating craze at a fundraiser screening of the movie, in which Captain Jack confronts a tentacle-faced Davy Jones and his water-doomed crew. Depp look-alikes includung Don O’Connell (pictured) hand out booty to prizewinners in four costume categories, including best pirate and pirate wench, most convincing pirate family, and the judges’ choice Jolly Roger Award.

“Passionate” is the word most often used to describe tango, and no wonder: in one move called a LLEVADA, the leader uses his upper thigh to carry the follower’s leg to the next step. Fans of Argentina’s national dance converge in Stowe this weekend for a 3-day extravaganza. A Friday-night concert features live bandoneón-based music by the Color Tango Orchestra, six pro couples flown in from Buenos Aires, and inner-city kids from the 2005 documentary Mad Hot Ballroom. Casual sessions called milongas stir things up at the Rusty Nail on Friday and Saturday nights, and all day Saturday, couples compete in the U.S. National Tango Championship. Other offerings include workshops with top instructors, history classes on the dance and its music, and a free, 12-hour Sunday fest of tango-themed cinema.

STOWE TANGOFEST & U.S. TANGO CHAMPIONSHIP Friday through Sunday, July 21-23, see calendar for various Stowe-area locations, times and prices. Info, 253-5767. www.stowetangofest.com

JUNGLE FEVER

Rudyard Kipling’s classic The Jungle Book tells the story of Mowgli, a spunky human foundling raised by animals in the primeval forest of pre-industrial India. Since its publication in 1894, generations of kids have followed the fearsome tiger Shere Khan, the loveable bear Baloo and the sleek, handsome prowler Bagheera, the black panther. This week, actors ages 6 to 18 in the local, traveling children’s troupe Very Merry Theatre mix Kipling’s original with Disney’s 1967 music-filled animated movie to stage a fur-clad show at three locations. All appearances are free, but the troupe holds a fundraiser at Shelburne Farms on August 3 for its next production, Alice in Wonderland. The theme: an elaborate outdoor “Mad Hatter” tea party.

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

JULY 20-26

ARIES (March 21-April 19): I’m pleased to announce the imminent arrival of a new chapter in your own personal soap opera. It could include any of the following plot twists: midnight confessions, madcap sex farces, thumb-sucking saints, an invitation to play leapfrog with a unicorn, work turning into play and vice versa, a showdown between the reptile brain and mammalian brain, a chance to bob for lollipops in a fountain, a thunderstorm coming just in time to douse a raging fire, samurais wearing pajamas, a supernatural ham sandwich, and opportunities to tinker with your “Me Against the World” attitude.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Has a baby ever been born with two umbilical cords? If so, he or she would be a good symbol for you in the coming weeks. Why? Because you should be extremely aggressive about getting the nurturing you need — even to the point of double-dipping from a primal source. In my astrological opinion, it’s your responsibility to make sure you’re flooded with blessings. Trust your unprecedented hunger.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Kathleen Raine (1908-2003) was a brilliant, Cambridgeeducated scholar and poet who won numerous awards for her poetry in the U.K. and France. Many of her colleagues were towering intellectuals, but she herself wanted “to get away from the Sherlock Holmes misconception that everything has a rational explanation.” She gravitated instead toward “the sacred springs of life, which are the imagination and the heart.” She’s your role model right now, Gemini. I hope she’ll inspire you to apply all of your high-powered ingenuity to an exploration of soul-awakening mysteries that can’t be encapsulated with neat analyses. It’s a perfect moment for you to celebrate the indescribable bounty of fertile chaos.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Are there influences that render you numb or even dumb? What experiences tend to shut you down? When you’re gliding along in your natural rhythm, are

you sometimes interrupted by blips that make you feel lost and unresponsive? According to my reading of the astrological omens, Cancerian, you now have extra power to fight back against these little outbreaks of black magic. It’s a perfect moment to get the upper hand on anything that closes you off from the world or locks you away from your own intuition.

started the trend some years ago, emitting war cries as she struck the ball, and since then many other players have made it a part of their game. This is a favorable time for you to experiment with what they have discovered: that making loud mouth noises loosens your inhibitions, boosts your confidence, and lubricates your power. Liberate your GRUNT, Libra!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The Hebrew word

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In prepa-

“shalom” is both a hello infused with a goodbye and a goodbye leavened with a hello. That’s why it would be wise and fun for you to make it your word of power in the coming days. You’ll be spinning through a transitional zone in which it won’t always be clear which direction is up. You’ll be coming and going simultaneously, embarking on new journeys and ending old ones. Whenever you say “shalom,” whether it’s a greeting to someone else or a mantra uttered in solitude, you’ll remind yourself that the threshold you’re in is pregnant with a thousand possibilities.

ration for my public readings and performances, I often ask my hosts to make sure that there are pussy willows and pomegranates placed near the podium, along with a pint of absinthe, a jump rope woven from hemp for use in my interactive rituals and a box of slave-free, non-GMO, organic, vegan chocolates. What about you, Scorpio? What items would you demand in your rider if you were asked to speak about your philosophy of life to a curious audience? It’s an ideal time to meditate on this matter. According to my astrological analysis, you will soon be in the spotlight, will be encouraged to spread your influence more forcefully, and will have openings to ask for what you want with aggressive clarity.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some scientists believe our brains are in a continual state of war. Writing in LiveScience.com, Bjorn Carey reports that our grey matter is a battleground where competing thoughts and impulses struggle for supremacy, brawling and jousting for our undivided attention. I have reason to believe that this ruckus will be far more pronounced than usual for you in the coming weeks, Virgo. All of your pairs of opposites will intensify their conflict, with each side clamoring and maneuvering to be declared winner. What I recommend may surprise you. I think you should just sit back with amused tolerance and let them fight it out. There really is no pressing need for you to be anything other than a radiant bundle of fascinating contradictions.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’m not a big fan of excessive decorum. That’s why I’m opposed to the efforts by some professional tennis officials to stop the spread of grunting among female tennis players. The great Monica Seles

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Austin artist Scott Wade likes to let layers of dust collect on the rear window of his car. That allows him to express his specialty: detailed “paintings” carved out of the dust with his fingers and paintbrushes. The most exquisite of his temporary masterpieces was a black-and-white reproduction of one of the famous “Dogs Playing Poker” paintings. I recommend you make Wade your role model, Sagittarius. Create unexpected wonders and exuberant curiosities out of stuff that’s used in a different way than it’s “supposed” to be.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I recently found out there’s a famous guy out there with a name similar to mine. Rob Brzezinski is an administrator for pro football’s Minnesota Vikings. He’s regarded as a “cap guru,” meaning he’s highly skilled at manipulating the National Football League’s Byzantine “cap” system of rules about

how much money a team can spend on its players. That’s pretty funny given the fact that I’ve been working really hard in the last few months to become a “Cappy guru,” by which I mean someone who understands Capricorns really well. I mention this because it’s prime time for you to seek out and learn from people who are to you what Rob Brzezinski is to me: your counterpart, soul twin, shadow, doppelganger or other half.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Imagine asking fundamentalist nutcase Jerry Falwell to evaluate a book about evolution by a renowned science writer like Richard Dawkins. Imagine handing poet Allen Ginsberg’s masterwork “Howl” to a janitor in Bangladesh and paying him to write his opinions about it. The effect would be similar to an event that actually occurred recently. The New York Times invited ex-Marine sniper Anthony Swofford, author of the Gulf War memoir Jarhead, to review a subversive metaphysical experiment penned by visionary philosopher Daniel Pinchbeck. As you might expect, Swofford’s screed was 85 percent hallucination. Let the Times’ gaffe serve as a warning beacon, Aquarius. It’s now crucial for you to gather a range of discriminating opinions about yourself and the possibilities you’re considering. Don’t rely on people who have no familiarity with, understanding of, or respect for the issues you want feedback about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Neurologist Oliver Sacks writes books in which he describes the ingenious adaptations some of his patients have made when faced with limitations that other people might have found debilitating. One example is an artist whose car accident caused him to lose his ability to see any other colors besides black and white. In response, he became a specialist in creating black-and-white paintings, and ultimately developed a mastery that won him acclaim. Later, when offered a chance to undergo treatment to restore the full spectrum of vision, he declined. Take heart from his story, Pisces. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you, too, to capitalize on one of your seeming liabilities or inadequacies.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I hope you can help me. I have a brand-new motorcycle. After crashing it through my garage door, I am afraid to ride it. Also, there is a beautiful woman I know, but I am afraid to ask her for a date. Do you think if I can get the courage to ride one, I won’t be afraid to ride the other? Help me! Afraid in Addison Dear Afraid, Since you’ve already conflated the two obstacles in your mind, it seems perfectly plausible. The question is, which comes first? If you put the woman before the bike, what happens if she turns you down? I suggest you start with the motorcycle — but don’t mount it and put it in gear until you’re really ready to launch. Good luck! Love, Lola
