PROUD AND GRATEFUL On behalf of the two hats I wear as co-executive director of Outright Vermont and a member of the P.R.I.D.E. Committee, I would like to thank you for your fabulous Pride Guide Issue [July 7]. Of course I thoroughly enjoyed Cathy Resmer’s article on “Speaking Youth to Power,� and I thought that the entire issue really did a great service to the queer and allied community by getting the Pride weekend schedule out there, as well as allowing supportive businesses in and around town to show their rainbow colors. Thanks for being a source of news, views and culture for all. Thanks to everyone (queer and allied) who came and those who put on the many Pride events throughout the weekend. I would like to emphasize our thanks to Mayor Clavelle of Burlington for his proclamation of July 10, 2004, as Pride Day for the LGBT community and, of course, Governor Douglas for his letter wishing “festival participants� a “festive weekend.� Curious voters can find both the Mayor’s proclamation and the Governor’s letter at the P.R.I.D.E. website: www.pridevermont.org. Cheers to Seven Days! Lluvia Mulvaney-Stanak BURLINGTON
TELLING IT LIKE IT IS Re: Kurth and Cheney [“Crank Call,� June 30] F**kin’ wonderful. I LOL. Found it on “Smirking Chimp.� Edw. L. Gilmore SAN DIEGO
“MY KNEE DOESN’T HURT ANYMORE WHEN I HIKE.� “If I had gotten nothing more from Rolfing, and I did, that alone would have been worth it.� — Donna Bepler, Burlington
PREVENTING CRUELTY Ken Picard’s piece [July 14] asks, “Can Vermont’s New Anti-Abuse Law — or Animal Advocates — Keep Creatures From Harm?� It is likely that had Ms. Bushey been charged with felony animal cruelty a year ago, when authorities first found emaciated and neglected animals at her home, and had the remaining animals been confiscated from the premises, countless other animals in her care that have mysteriously disappeared or who were found dead since that time could have been spared starving to death or other slow and painful deaths. Animal Cruelty statutes nationwide have helped raise awareness about animal cruelty and its connection to other forms of violence and abuse, and have put people behind bars for egregious acts of cruelty toward animals. Insofar as animal hoarders are concerned, many sentences rightly place conditions under which people who hoard and neglect animals are able to acquire animals in the future. Animal hoarders start out with the best intentions, and invariably say they only want what is best for their animals; however, for Ms. Bushey to claim she has done nothing wrong when twice animals have been found ailing and living in deplorable conditions on her property speaks for itself. Keeping animals in their own filth, ill, and not providing them with adequate food, water, and veterinary care is not a right of ours — it is a crime and should be treated as such.
Thanks for bringing much needed attention to this issue. Coleen Kearon MONTPELIER
CREATURE COMFORT Thank you so much for printing the article about the neglect and deaths of several horses and other animals at the home of Lauralee Bushey in Panton [“Cruel and Unusual?� July 14]. This is news that so much needs to get out so people know it is happening. An old saying is that you can tell the level of advancement of a society by the way it treats its animals. Thank you again. Mira Fakirananda BURLINGTON
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM Just a note to say that, as one writer (and former reporter) to another, I thought your piece [“State of the Arts,� July 14] on us and “Joe Destruction� was well-written, well thought-out, clear and understandable. Having worked in the press and been quoted in the press in the past, I am quite wary of ever speaking to the press. But when reporting/ reviewing like yours comes along, it’s fun to read. And, rest assured, I’m not saying this just because you gave us a fairly positive review. In fact, I emailed a link to my uncle in Boston and he read the review and said, “Ms. Ruth deserves a thank-you for a careful review.� Matt Dugan BURLINGTON

AMERICAN SYSTEM I applaud the Supreme Court’s decision regarding detainees on Guantanamo, but I regret that international law played no role in the arguments. The Court could have asked for more clarification on Bush’s attitude towards the Geneva Conventions. The ruling is, however, a triumph of the American system of “checks and balances.” How ironic, especially given the fact that the Administration has been checked by the very
same court that was so useful to the present resident of the White House in the Florida vote count. James Vos BURLINGTON
MEDIA MATTERS “Pressing Questions” [“Underlines,” July 14] seems too cheery. People who distrust the press are deemed “cynical,” when they might more properly be called realistic. Similarly, I think, the trend to support Republicans at the expense of
Democrats might as accurately reflect disgust with the non-differences between the two peacefully coexisting groups, and even an acknowledgment that “At least the Republicans know how to stage a presidential coup.” Whom among reporters are we to admire? Dan Rather, who saluted his commander Bush, or Katie Couric, a sprightly little cheerleader for the war? Should The New York Times really be congratulated for saying it was
wrong in pumping for invading Iraq? It apologized, of course, only after it had done the damage to the minds of the people. The crocodile-tearstained “apology” perhaps made the paper smell a little less crappy, but it did nothing to correct the damage. I had sources — left-wing, but also the BBC, the Guardian and others — that the Times had access to as well, and these sources saw the lie pretty well. Wall Street Journal writer James Bandler is quoted: “It wasn’t a conspiracy at the Times. Reporters are taught to be skeptical, but sometimes when we deal with authority figures, we lose that skepticism. There’s an institutional belief that when a prosecutor tells you something, it’s worth more than what you hear from a defense lawyer.” No doubt. Self-delusion’s a wonderful thing. But by all the evidence we’re talking about the majority of reporters and editors, who owe nothing to us and everything to the prosecutors and politicians they pander to and pledge eternal allegiance to. Don’t blame the miseducated for believing the lies they’re told. Blame the liars. Long live “cynicism,” if it leads to a search for the facts. Jerry Weinberg BURLINGTON
BAD NEWS? I am disturbed by a story on the Patriot Act that aired on WPTZ Channel 5 and Bernie Sanders’ effort to fix a problem with it. The story starts off just fine, and then at the close Stephanie Gorin says, “Bernie Sanders pushed to change the law last week, but it didn’t go anywhere.” Somebody, please — I thought for a moment I had mistakenly put on Channel 3 news. It did go somewhere, until the Republican-controlled house changed the rules, delayed voting and strong-armed members to change their vote. This is far too important to gloss over like this. Please, someone tell the whole story. What do I have to do to get the real news about Vermont in Vermont? It’s not in our daily paper. Clear Channel radio has DJs reading the poorly written daily-paper stories on air and presenting that as news. WPTZ covers New York and Vermont in 15 minutes of news time. WCAX, well, need I explain the problems there? I just want local news, done by local reporters that are fair and balanced. Oops, can I say that? How about accurate and timely? We are more intelligent than the news we are getting. HELP! Michael T. Charter JERICHO

“It’s been our inside track
BY PETER FREYNE
AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Bush Targets Vermont?
F
or months, the president of the United States has been a fixture on WCAX-TV. Almost every evening, usually right before Marselis Parsons and Sera Congi, Vermont viewers have heard from George W. Bush, the leader of the free world. You’ve seen him, too: “I’m George W. Bush and I approved this message.” And what’s the message? John Kerry doesn’t care about sick grandmas. John Kerry doesn’t care about pregnant women. John Kerry doesn’t care about our troops. John Kerry doesn’t show up for work. John Kerry’s a piece of shit! This week a study by Nielsen MonitorPlus and the University of Wisconsin Advertising Project revealed the Bush-Cheney Campaign has not been advertising its upbeat, forward-thinking commercials coast-to-coast. Nobody in the Big Apple has seen them. We in Vermont are truly blessed! In fact, most Americans have not had the pleasure of watching Bush’s 30-second attack ads. Rather, they’ve been targeted at key markets, so-called “Battleground States,” especially Ohio and Missouri. So why Vermont? After all, the “battle” in the most liberal state in the nation has long been over. John Kerry and John Edwards will get Vermont’s three electoral votes. It won’t be close. So maybe the GOP is using WCAX-TV to reach New York voters across the pond? Hardly. New York voters, after all, elected Hillary Clinton to the U.S. Senate. New York is in the Kerry column, too. That leaves one explanation. The BushCheney campaign is writing big checks to WCAX-TV because they want their “message” to be seen and heard across the Connecticut River on New Hampshire television screens. Ch. 3’s signal is picked up in at least three New Hampshire counties: Grafton, Sullivan and Coos. Marsillyiss and Sera reach 40,000 to 50,000 Granite State households. In 2000, Bush-Cheney carried New Hampshire by 17,211 votes over GoreLieberman. Ralph Nader pulled 22,198 votes. Had Gore carried the Granite State, folks, Vermont National Guardsmen would not be dying in Iraq, and the United States would not be viewed by long-standing allies as a violent, dangerous, isolationist superpower run amok. Bush TV ads have also been airing on Vermont’s NBC affiliates: WPTZ-TV in Plattsburgh and WNNE-TV in White River Junction. And, of course, on WMUR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire. All three stations are owned by the Hearst-Argyle chain. WPTZ General Manager Paul Sands declined to tell Seven Days over the phone just how much Bush money has been dropped on his doorstep. The amount is public record. However, one must physically visit the specific station in order to examine the political ad-buy records. Yours truly didn’t have the legs to bike to Plattsburgh on Monday, but WCAX’s Corporate HQ on Joy Drive is within our reach. We found 15 photocopied checks that the Bush-Cheney Campaign has written to
Stuart “Red” Martin’s Vermont TV shop since March 4. The total: $350,866.65. Nice. Even if you deduct Red Martin’s generous personal contributions to the GOP, it’s still hefty. According to FEC records, WCAX’s Martin contributed $2000 to the Republican National Committee on May 17 and another $2000 (the max allowed) to the Bush-Cheney Campaign on June 24. For the last few months, Vermont viewers have been doused by the waterfall of negative Bush campaign commercials. After about a dozen viewings, the real message of the Bush TV ad/propaganda campaign sinks in: George W. Bush is the worst president the United States of America has ever had. No president has been able to screw up so much so fast. In his ads, Mr. Bush doesn’t say one word about himself. He can’t. To do so would be the equivalent of a concession speech. Instead, Bush’s message is all about the other guy, the candidate who, unlike himself, didn’t use daddy’s connections to duck Vietnam duty. Let’s face it. When you’ve lied to the American people this much, you just can’t stop on a dime. Only a cornered skunk would spray such a putrid shower across America’s TV screens. But if the fur fits, you’ve got to wear it.
World Trade Shakeup — Seven Days has learned that the Douglas Administration is closing down the Vermont World Trade Office. Executive Director Brad Broadwell said that in a Friday meeting, Secretary of Commerce Kevin Dorn informed him “that my services will no longer be needed.” The VWTO — www.vermontworldtrade. org — was created to promote Vermont products in international markets. In addition, three other employees will be losing their jobs by year’s end, said Broadwell. The VWTO is funded by federal grants and $100,000 in state funds. Broadwell’s salary is the only one paid by the state. Two years ago, Brad worked as a fundrais er for the Douglas campaign. In a Seven Days interview on Tuesday, Sec. Dorn confirmed he had a meeting with Broadwell on Friday, but denied he had given him the hook. “No, I didn’t fire Brad Broadwell,” said Dorn. Informed that Broadwell thinks differently, Dorn replied, “I can’t talk about a personnel matter.” The commerce secretary went on to say that he could tell us, “There’s going to be movement on international trade in the next few months.” Pressed on whether that movement involves the dismissal of VWTO Director Broadwell, Dorn said, “There is not going to be a World Trade Office as it is right now. The function’s going to continue in-house.” Broadwell told Seven Days he’s been told to wrap things up and shut down the office by the end of the year. INSIDE TRACK >> 16A

The street happened to be on the route of former President Ronald Reagan’s funeral procession.

• A 23-year-old student at England’s Bath Spa University College and two friends were forced to flee their rented two-story house after the student used a cigarette lighter to search for a shoe under his bed, and the bed caught fire. “When we got there, flames were licking out of the top window,” Bath firefighter Rich Nichols said. “His bedroom is totally gutted, and there will be smoke damage to the rest of the property.” • Police in Melbourne, Florida, reported that Aravis Walker, 23, and Antonio Robinson, 27, were lighting fireworks and throwing them from their car when an ember from a cigarette or one of the

Zoo veterinarian Tyler Thomas explained that the 17-foot, 3000-pound giraffe was probably trying to get a drink and tumbled headfirst into the 15-foot sinkhole when it collapsed under the animal’s weight. Thomas said that he arrived to find “nothing but the ankles of the giraffe were visible.”
Incendiary Devices Police in Johnson City, New York, charged Joseph Freer, 23, with causing a fire that damaged a sporting-goods store and caused the evacuation of a shopping mall. Police Capt. Ted Wido said that Freer, an assistant manager at the store, started the fire when he tried to kill a spider by dousing it with a flammable substance, then lighting it.
lit fireworks fell on the back seat of the car and ignited other explosives. Pointing out that the vehicle still had fireworks shooting from it when they arrived, officers said they found Robinson trapped inside but alive. Walker managed to escape after the vehicle struck a light pole but later died. • Authorities in Nevada County, California, reported that an employee at a furniture-manufacturing company held a lighter to his pants, which were saturated with a highly flammable solvent, to see if they would ignite. They did. He suffered minor burns to his legs.

They believed that the body heat of the chickens inside the casing of a seven-ton plutonium land mine, code named “Blue Peacock,” would keep the warhead firing mechanism within the required temperature range. Noting that the idea is mentioned only briefly in a lengthy document, Tom O’Leary of the National Archives said there’s no indication that the idea was ever actually tested. “It’s purely a suggestion in an official document,” he explained, “that this is a possibility that was proposed.”

Dassaro, president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 1613 in San Diego, also pointed out the security risk of having uniforms made abroad, where they can be stolen or sold to “terrorists, alien smugglers or drug dealers who could cross unimpeded into the United States.” • The Defense Department wasted $100 million over a six-year period on airline tickets that “were unused and not refunded,” according to a General Accounting Office report, which added that the Pentagon also “made payments to travelers for improper and potentially fraudulent claims.” Some department employees submitted multiple claims for tickets that they did not purchase, with one traveler getting nearly $10,000 for tickets he did not buy.
The Machine Age After a 400pound lottery ticket vending machine fell on his foot during a bar fight in Dedham, Massachusetts, bartender Scott McGloughlin, 31, sued the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. He asserted that the agency was negligent for putting the machine in the bar. McGloughlin had to have half of his big toe and half of the one next to it amputated. “As you know, the big toe is the body’s main stabilizer,” McGloughlin’s lawyer wrote the lottery commission, pointing out that as a result of the injury, his client “will have to relearn how to walk.”

The Waiting Game
I
’ve never used intravenous drugs or engaged in especially high-risk sexual behavior — if you don’t count the time when a state trooper rapped on my car window and told my girlfriend and me to zip up and move along. Admittedly, though, I’ve had one or two “lapses in judgment” over the years. Then there were the three years I worked as an EMT in Austin, Texas, where I was potentially exposed to all kinds of blood-borne nastiness that can keep a person up nights wondering. So last year, I decided to satisfy the gnawing question in my mind and got tested for HIV. At the Community Health Center in Burlington, they asked me a battery of questions about my lifestyle habits and sexual partners, swabbed the inside of my cheek and told me to call back in 10 days to schedule a follow-up visit. For me, the waiting period wasn’t stressful. I didn’t have much reason to suspect that my test would come back positive. Thankfully, it didn’t. But on the day of my return visit, I ended up waiting around for my results for more than two hours — enough time to start
Thirty percent of those who test positive for HIV never come back to get their results. The reason: The anxiety of waiting for them. sweating. Noticing a slight up-tick in my heart rate, I thought, “What if I were seriously worried that I were HIV-positive? Or knew a sex partner who was? I might bolt out of here and never come back.” It’s a problem health-care workers and AIDS activists face every day. A rapid HIV test that’s been available since 2002 can provide results on the spot. But the test isn’t widely available in Vermont, and some local AIDS activists want to know why. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as many as 280,000 people in the United States are infected with the HIV virus but don’t know it. Moreover, 31 percent of those who test positive for HIV never come back for their results. The reason: The anxiety of waiting for them is just too much for some people to handle. But in November 2002, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new, fast HIV blood test that can provide accurate results in as little as 20 minutes. The OraQuick Rapid HIV test uses a finger-prick of blood to screen for HIV antibodies. Since its development, responses to the test have been overwhelmingly encouraging. In 2003, the CDC distributed a half-million test kits to health departments and community organizations across the country and trained nearly 500 people to use them. Today, the OraQuick is offered in a variety of non-clinical settings, from teen clinics and homeless shelters to gay bars and strip clubs. In March, the FDA approved an oral version of the test. Clinical studies by the manufacturer showed the OraQuick oral-fluid test correctly identifying 99.3 percent of those who were infected with HIV-1, and 99.9 percent of people who were not infected. The new oral test cannot screen for HIV-2 antibodies, but it’s easy to use and provides results as quickly as the finger-prick method.
However, the rapid HIV tests are only available at select sites in Vermont, and the health department has no plans to begin wider distribution. And that troubles some AIDS activists. Ric Kasini Kadour of Shoreham is one of them. “There’s this new piece of technology that can dramatically impact the role of testing and the relationship gay men have to testing, and the Department of Health has chosen to largely ignore it,” he says. “And the reasons for ignoring it really don’t pan out.” Kadour explains that, for gay men, the oneto three-week waiting period is an enormous deterrent to taking the test. “During those three weeks you confront the fact that you might be HIV-positive. And this is different for straight people,” he says. “HIV plays out differently in straight culture than it does in gay culture, and it’s much more of a reality for gay men than the majority of straight people.” Susanna Weller is acting director of the Vermont health department’s HIV/AIDS program. She says the DOH recently evaluated the rapid HIV test on a number of factors, including its accuracy, complexity of use and cost. The department recommended against the tests’ general use, at least for the timebeing, Weller says. “We do think it’s important for people to get tested and get their status.” Weller states. But she notes that Vermont does far better than the national average in terms of patients returning for their test results. Last year, she says, 83 percent of Vermonters who were tested came back for their results, including 90 percent of those who were HIV-positive. In 2002, the numbers were even higher. Deborah Kutzko is a family nurse practitioner and coordinator of Fletcher Allen’s Comprehensive Care Clinic, one of the few places in Vermont that uses the rapid HIV test. She raises another consideration: concerns over false positives. Although the rapid test has a high degree of accuracy, she says it’s still a “screening” test. As a result, a small percentage of people will falsely test positive, which must be confirmed by the traditional — and more time-consuming — blood test. “The problem with people who are very freaked [about their HIV status] is that this test has a certain amount of false positives,” Kutzko says. “You can imagine that if you were very, very anxious about it and I gave you a positive test result that I wasn’t sure was positive, that could be worse than waiting 10 days.” But Kadour is unconvinced. He calls the cost issue “a smokescreen” because the new, rapid HIV tests run about $10 to $12, but save the state money in the long run because they don’t require costly lab work. More importantly, he thinks the health department is misinformed about the false-positive issue. “When I spoke to the FDA and representatives from the CDC, they all fell out of their chairs when they heard that,” he says. “The reality is, for the population at large, the falsepositive rate is not that different from the other tests that are out there.” Either way, waiting to find out if you have a life-threatening disease is no picnic. Even when you think there’s nothing to worry about. For more information on the 43 sites in Vermont that provide free HIV/AIDS testing, call 1-800882-AIDS or visit www.healthyvermonters.info.

he Independence Day celebration drew hordes of people to downtown Burlington — the appeal of fireworks never grows old. I took a couple of hours off from driving to partake in the festivities with my fellow citizens. It was fun to hear the sounds, to see the lights, to “ooh and aah” in unison. After the post-fireworks traffic gridlock had abated, I moseyed back to my cab, flicked on the taxi light and returned to the fray. The remainder of the night went smoothly: streams of business and little rancor. Everyone I drove seemed in jolly spirits, and why not? We’re all Americans and it was our birthday. As the night wound down, I was hailed by two trim women, one with shoulder-length, streaked blonde locks, the other a brunette with a pixie haircut. The blonde woman wore one of those tubular neon necklaces that have become synonymous, for some reason, with 4th of July celebrations.
The guys had just hit the lottery; these were two attractive and vivacious women. They were giggling as they climbed into the back and asked to go to the new condo apartments near the Lime Kiln Bridge in South Burlington. “You know what?” I said as we ascended the Main Street hill. “During the Great Flood of 1927, every single bridge on the Winooski River was washed away except for the Lime Kiln Bridge. That’s ’cause it’s so high above the water.” The blonde woman managed to stop giggling for a second, looked up and said, “Fascinating.” Then she immediately resumed talking with her friend. I’m a fount, all right, I thought to myself. “Fascinating Customers Since 1980” should be the tagline on the side of my door. The woman then said, “OK, Jennifer, let’s go ahead and do it. But, like, how scandalous are we?” “Ya only live once,” Jennifer replied, scooting forward in her seat. “Mr. Cabbie,” she said, “could you swing back to Church Street? I guess about the corner of Maple would be a good place to start. We’re trying to find two cute guys we were just talking to.” “You sure about this?” I asked skeptically. This had “wild goose chase” written all over it. “Oh, we’re sure,” Jennifer replied. “C’mon — go, go, go. They were walking down lower Church when we left them.” I took the right at Willard, and then another quick right onto Maple. We came down the hill up to the intersection with Church and, sure enough, two men were in the crosswalk. “Omigod!” the blonde yelped, barely able to contain herself. “That’s them, that’s them!”
I pulled to the curb, lightly tapped the horn and beckoned to them from my window. They were handsome men, I had to admit, both tall with dark hair and chiseled features. They looked Latin or maybe Arab — something interesting, in any event. One of them made a brushing-away motion with his hand, thinking I was trying to solicit a taxi fare. “No, man,” I called out. “C’mere. I got two women in this cab who are interested in you guys.” They looked at each other for a moment, as the import of what I had just said sunk in. Here’s where one difference between men and women reveals itself: They couldn’t get into the cab fast enough. For men — if I may speak for my less evolved sex — this is a nobrainer. One hopped in the back with the girls, the other took the shotgun seat. “Hey, we know you!” the guy in the back said as he settled in. He did in fact have a Middle Eastern accent of some kind. “We were just talking to you in front of Manhattan Pizza.” “Well, boys,” Jennifer replied, adopting the tone of a schoolmarm, a hilarious choice given the indecorous circumstances. “We’ve decided to continue the evening, if you would accompany us back to our apartment.” For a moment there was a stunned silence in the vehicle. The guys had just hit the lottery; these were two attractive and vivacious women. The smile on my seatmate’s face extended from ear to ear. “Ladies,” he said, “we would like nothing better.” “What’s-a matter with your friend in the back here?” the blonde woman asked. “He seems a little freaked out.” I glanced at the rear-view mirror and, indeed, the guy did appear anxious. “Ahmed,” he said to his friend in the front seat. “You know — we have our plans. We must get going tomorrow morning by 6.” Jennifer made a couple of tsking sounds. “That’s too, too bad, boys. I really think we could have had some fun.” We were still sitting at the corner of Maple and Church. My seatmate looked stricken. “Pssst, Ahmed,” I whispered to him. “Tell this to your clueless wingman in the back: ‘Our plans have changed.’” The smile returned to Ahmed’s face. “Mousad,” he said, pivoting in his seat. “Guess what, my friend? Our plans have changed.” Mousad leaned forward in this seat and said, “But Ahmed, what about…” “My friend,” Ahmed cut him off, lifting one finger, “there are no ‘buts.’ Listen to me: Our plans have changed.” With that, Mousad finally came to his senses and relaxed back into his seat next to his brand-new friends. “OK,” he said with a laugh. “I suppose you have made your point.” “All right!” Jennifer said. “Mr. Cabbie, back to the Lime Kiln Bridge. And you guys should know this — it’s the only bridge untouched by the Great Flood of 1927.” Jennifer winked at me in the mirror, and I chuckled. It’s so rewarding, I thought, when I can provide a little historical perspective. 쩾

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
12A
Dear Cecil, I had skin surgery recently and was told to apply Mercurochrome to aid in scarless healing. The product, once widely available, is sold by only one vendor in Boise, and I’m told they manufacture their own. Another pharmacist told me they were not allowed to handle or sell it. What happened to this antiseptic that I grew up with? — David Young Boise, Idaho You’re dating yourself, pops. Few under age 30 have ever heard of this stuff. In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared that Mercurochrome, generically known as merbromin, was “not generally recognized as safe and effective” as an over-the-counter antiseptic and forbade its sale across state lines. A few traditionalists complained: Whaddya mean, not generally recognized as safe? Moms have been daubing it on their kids’ owies since the Harding administration! But the more reasonable reaction was: It’s about time. For many years the FDA, faced with the task of regulating thousands of pharmaceuticals and food additives, many of which long predated federal oversight, has maintained the so-called GRAS (generally recognized etc.) list, originally compiled as a way of grandfathering in products like Mercurochrome that had been around for ages and hadn’t hurt or killed a noticeable number of people. Recognizing that from a scientific standpoint such a standard leaves a lot to be desired, the FDA has been whittling away at the unexamined products on the GRAS list over time. Mercurochrome and other drugs containing mercury came up for scrutiny as part of a general review of over-thecounter antiseptics that began in 1978, and for good reason — mercury in large enough doses is a poison that harms the brain, the kidneys and developing fetuses. While no one’s offered evidence of mass Mercurochrome poisoning, the medical literature contains scattered reports of mercury toxicity due to use of the antiseptic, and these days the burden of proof is on drug manufacturers to show that their products’ benefits outweigh the risks. In the case of Mercuro-
chrome and many other mercury-containing compounds, that had never been done. The FDA initially proposed clipping Mercurochrome’s GRAS status in 1982 and asked for comment. Hearing little, the FDA classified the antiseptic as a “new drug,” meaning that anyone proposing to sell it nationwide had to submit it to the same rigorous approval process required of a drug invented last month. (This took place in 1998 — nobody’s going to accuse the FDA of rushing to judgment.) It’s not out of the question that a pharmaceutical company will do so someday — published research on Mercurochrome, though hardly abundant, suggests the stuff is reasonably effective. However, the approval process is time-consuming and expensive and any patent protection Mercurochrome might once have had surely expired long ago. For the foreseeable future those yearning for that delicious Mercurochrome sting will have to look somewhere else. Other notes from the mercury wars, as long as we’re on the subject: • Already illegal in some states and municipalities, mercury fever thermometers appear to be headed for history’s dustbin. The U.S. Senate approved a federally mandated phase-out in 2002, although the bill didn’t make it through the House. Even in jurisdictions where mercury thermometers are still legal, many drugstores are dropping them in favor of the digital electronic type, which are unarguably safer — although you don’t get to play with those cool quicksilver globules when they break. • Despite two decades of controversy and threatened legislative bans, amalgam (“silver”) tooth fillings, which are half mercury, are still a mainstay of dentistry. Although some health activists claim the mercury leaches out of the fillings and into the body, the FDA in a 2002 statement reaffirmed the mainstream view, to wit: “No valid scientific evidence has shown that amalgams cause harm to patients with dental restorations, except in the rare case of allergy.” • Thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative in vaccines, is suspected of causing autism and other neurological disorders in children. A recent review by a panel of prominent scientists found no evidence for the much-publicized autism link; nonetheless thimerosal is no longer used in most vaccines, flu shots being the chief exception. • More than 30 years after the alarm was first raised, mercury accumulation in fish remains the chief source of exposure to the toxic metal in the U.S. The FDA advises that pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, nursing mothers, and young children avoid shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish entirely and limit consumption of albacore tuna (canned “white” tuna and tuna steaks) to 6 ounces (one meal) per week; canned light tuna, shrimp, salmon, pollock and catfish are said to be OK for up to 12 ounces per week. Some say even these guidelines, particularly the one for albacore, are too permissive. I’m not one to encourage the paranoids, but when you look at some of the brain-damaged decisions that get made in this country, often you can’t help but think somebody’s mom ate too much fish.

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS
Swimming Whole
O IMAGE Stefan Bumbeck
f all the places to swim in northern Vermont, it seemed like a questionable one: The waters of Lake Champlain lapped the beach in lazy, sluggish brown-flecked licks. A few hundred yards to the north, somebody was pumping something out of the Pine Street Canal Superfund Site, not far from the wastewater plant. To the south was Blanchard Beach, closed permanently because of fecal pollution. Yet there they waded, oblivious — a man, woman and child. Pedaling by on the Burlington Bike Path, I thought about directing the family to North Beach, or over to Oakledge, where the water seemed a bit less disgusting. But I kept my mouth shut and, instead, conducted a bit of due diligence on the doo in the lake.
When E. coli is in the water, other nasty microorganisms might be lurking there, too; these can cause troubles, from cramps and diarrhea to giardiasis and crypotosporidiosis, none of which are exactly compatible with a day at the beach. Luckily for our intestines, the state of Vermont does have standardized, acceptable limits of E. coli contamination: no more than 77 organisms per 100 milliliters of water. If there are too many of the little guys in a sample, beach officials post signs in the sand, as well as advisories online. With the exception of an 83 at Leddy Beach South on July 8, and an ongoing advisory for inner Malletts Bay in Colchester, bacteria counts have been low at most Burlington-area beaches
“Falls of Lana is enough of a hike uphill that it’s kind of got a bozo filter on it.” PANCHO DOLL, AUTHOR OF DAY TRIPS WITH A SPLASH As it turned out, there was probably nothing wrong with the lake at this small strip of unclaimed beach just north of the Lakeside neighborhood. Steve Roy at Burlington Public Works explained that it likely was just water being pumped from the canal. Still, says Sharon Mallory, public health environmental specialist with the Vermont Department of Health, “It’s probably best for people to swim at designated areas that are being tested.” Vermont has no statewide regulations on testing swimming waters, which means it’s up to communities to do their own monitoring, and to the public to decide where they want to dip. In Burlington, the Department of Parks and Recreation collects water samples at its beaches — North, Leddy and Oakledge — twice a week, and hands them over to the Department of Public Works to test for Escherichia coli, a bacteria that comes from poop — dogs’, farm animals’ and peoples’.
this summer. “The only time we ever have problems with water quality here is if we have a prolonged period of dry weather followed by a very hard rain event,” says Wayne Gross, director of Burlington Parks and Rec. “The waste, pretty much from animals, that is built up in the watershed over the period of time, if that all washed down into these drainages that feed the beach areas, usually for a day or two after an event like that you’ll get higher readings.” Gross also points out that the lake’s a lot cleaner than it used to be. When Mark Spitz was scooping up medals in Munich, inspiring thousands of wouldbe swimmers, Lake Champlain might not have been the choice for doing laps. But chances are that this summer, after watching Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin go for swimming gold in Athens, more folks will go jump in the lake for a workout.
Thanks to water’s anti-gravitational properties, swimming is one of the most injury-free sports — second, perhaps, only to table tennis. It’s safe for just about anyone, provided they learn the proper techniques. That said, water-based exercise is about much more than splashing around to the Mamma Mia soundtrack. “Swimming has great cardiovascular and muscular endurance benefits and helps increase flexibility and is great for the abdominal muscles and the back,” says Charlotte Brynn, head swim coach at the Swimming Hole, a community pool in Stowe. “A lot of people think swimming’s about the arms and the legs, but so much of it comes from the core. And by changing the strokes around, you’re cross-training your body in the water; the breaststroke works the upper back, or trapezius, while the butterfly’s body motion is really good for the abdominal and gluteal muscles.” Swimming works almost all the major muscle groups, improves posture and lowers resting heart rates. Because water is 12 times more resistant than air, simple movements become complex body-boosters while swimming. Even if you’re just treading water, you’re working your rear end, your hamstrings and your hip abductors and adductors. “Anytime you’re in deep water and not touching the bottom,” says Brynn, “your trunk muscles kick in to keep you upright.” This is good news for anyone who’s ever spent time in a swimming hole, nearly 100 of which are named throughout the mountains and valleys of Vermont. Many more are kept secret by the locals. Among the northern favorites are the mossy, shady, deep Bingham Falls, near Stowe; the clear, cave-pocked Bristol Falls; and Bolton’s Potholes, a terraced, cliff-jumping playground carved from ancient glaciers. “You guys have great rock in Vermont,” says California-based swimming-hole sleuth Pancho Doll, author of the Day Trips With a Splash guide-
book series. “And it’s rock that makes a great swimming hole, because you’ve got to have containers.” Laid off by The Los Angeles Times, Doll began searching for natural pools in the Sierras, and got hooked. “It’s the spirit of discovery,” he says. “Each swimming hole sneaks up on you; it’s a surprise, and no one is the same.” And though Doll has scoured the country for ideal oases with clean water and few crowds, a few Green Mountain marvels, such as the sunny, flume-filled Falls of Lana in Salisbury, easily come to mind. “Falls of Lana is enough of a hike uphill that it’s kind of got a bozo filter on it,” he says. “If it’s more than 250 calories to get there, that cuts down on the beer-cooler brigade.” Another bozo filter is the Vermont River Conservancy, which works to protect some of the state’s best swimming holes. Through property acquisitions, the group has ensured that Reading’s Twenty-Foot Hole, Lower Clarendon Gorge and Ludlow’s Buttermilk Falls remain hot-weather destinations for members of the public lucky enough to know where they are. “There’s a long history of Vermonters swimming in swimming holes, but these places require a gentle treatment,” says Meyers, who waxes poetic on the spiritual and physical benefits of cooling off in a hidden swimming hole. We learn about the interconnectedness of nature, and the importance of wild places, he explains. “It’s so different to swim in this clean, natural setting, with the water rushing over the rocks. You’re in a timeless environment, and there’s nothing like it.” m To learn more about Burlington beaches and testing results, visit www.enjoybur lington.com.

State Sen. Matt Dunne (DWindsor), who has made economic development his premier issue, told Seven Days he was “surprised and disappointed” that the members of the Senate’s economic development committee had not been either “notified or consulted” before the Douglas administration decided to get rid of the World Trade Office. Sen. Dunne is in line to chair the Senate’s Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs Committee next session. Interesting, eh?

Somebody Lied — Life goes on. But, like a pebble in the shoe of the mind, we sense a lingering, uncomfortable awareness of the violent, unstable world and its direct connection to Vermont. That connection is only enhanced when we see L. Paul Bremer choosing Chester, Vermont, as the one spot on Earth he wants to call home. The Bush administration’s former top administrator of the Iraq occupation now sits on a Vermont front porch and watches the world go by. But a much stronger connection was in the news last week as 1300 members of the Vermont National Guard were getting their wills in order and preparing family and friends for the worst. Also last week, Gov. Douglas held his first press conference in a couple weeks. What a coincidence. There was a little catching up to do. In the interim, the Senate Intelligence Committee had released a bipartisan report explaining how the Bush administration managed to lead our country to war based on lies and falsehoods that passed for fact. Here we go again, eh? If our War in Vietnam has one lesson, it is that “supporting the troops” means a hell of a lot more than attaching bumper stickers or magnetic yellow ribbons to one’s gas guzzler. The bull’s-eye lesson from Vietnam is that “supporting the troops,” each and every one of them, means standing up against leaders who would have them crippled, maimed and killed in the name of their lies. Presidents both Democratic and Republican told us back then that the Vietnamese communists in their black pajamas were a serious threat to the world’s greatest superpower. If we didn’t stop them in the rice paddies of Southeast Asia, our presidents argued, we’d soon be stopping them on the beaches of California. Unfortunately, it took more than 58,000 American deaths and millions of Vietnamese deaths to fully expose the Big Lie. In the end it was the voice of Vietnam veterans like John Kerry that won out. Just like Vietnam, the dirty secret is that our brave countrymen and women in Iraq are not protecting the safety and security of the United States. If anything, the Bush-Cheney administration’s priapic Iraq invasion has lit the fuse on a 21st-century powderkeg of clashing civilizations, cultures and religions. As Vice-President Cheney might put it, “Folks, this is one big fucking mess!” In Iraq today, the American death toll is approaching 1000. More than 5000 have been wounded. But, unlike with Vietnam, we don’t have to wait another eight
years for a Daniel Ellsberg to leak the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times. The Big Lie about Iraq is already officially published and exposed. It’s available online at www.intelligence.senate.gov. Vermont has, as usual, made its voice heard. Our entire congressional delegation saw through the Big Bush Lie and stood against it. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Jim Jeffords and Rep. Bernie Sanders proved they are among the best friends our troops have on Capitol Hill. To find the highest elected Vermont official who supported the Bush-Cheney war, one must turn to our first-term Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. Gov. Scissorhands tends not to mention the president’s name unless forced to respond to a question. However, he has marched in lockstep with Mr. Bush on the justification and need to march America to war. Asked if he would now concede he was wrong when he repeated the presidential lies, Douglas got his back up. “I reject the notion that I lied to you,” said the Guv. “The president was also, in my view, exonerated by this report in that there was no suggestion that he said anything untrue to the best of his knowledge, or intentionally misled the American people.” Douglas conveniently ignored the fact that Part II of the Senate Intelligence Committee report is focusing on that very subject. But Part II isn’t going to be completed until after the November election. By then, Jim Douglas will have a much clearer picture of what he’ll be doing next year. And so will George W. Bush.
Circ Update — The battle was won in federal court by the environmentalists, but the war over the Circumferential Highway continues. Attorney Brian Dunkiel has written the state to seek information on what he suggests is an attempt to illegally spend federal highway money on what was deemed to be an illegal project. Dunkiel also wonders why the state hasn’t shown any desire to work with the environmentalists in developing a new, legally acceptable Environmental Impact Statement. “It’s a unique situation,” Dunkiel told Seven Days, “because of the years of the state ignoring the law and the concerns of the environmental community.” Vermont’s Princess of Roads, Transportation Sec. Patricia McDonald, scoffs at Dunkiel’s charges. She said the judge’s order is not retroactive and insisted that spending on already completed Circ construction and property acquisition is totally legit. McDonald also told Seven Days she disagrees with the suggestion that “project opponents are entitled to participate in the selection of a new environmental consultant.” Nice to see everyone’s learned from the past and is finally getting along, eh?
Freeps News — Reporter Steve Kiernan is departing in midAugust. The Middlebury grad is off to write a book for St. Martin’s Press about the new way of dying in America. Thirty years ago we died fast — heart attacks and strokes. Today we die slow.
SEVEN DAYS Incidentally, we suggested Steve donate a small portion of his book contract proceeds to Freeps Publisher Jim Carey so Carey can finally buy a light to shine on the paper’s American flag at night. C’mon Jim, how about a little respect for Old Glory?

Hairy News — No question, if the election were about hair, the two Johns, Kerry and Edwards, would win in a landslide. John Kerry almost has too much hair. We’ve heard of $150 haircuts. What, do they charge by the strand? Can’t do that in Burlington. In fact, there’s been a recent major development on the local men’s hair scene. Three of Vermont’s best scissorhands, not to be confused with “stylists” or “beauticians,” have bolted from Ron Corey’s lower College Street shop and set up their own men’s barber shop around the corner at 72 Main Street. After 15 year’s at Ron’s, Teri Sheehan told Seven Days it was time for a change. Susan Bowles and Tsering Yanki went with her. The best of the best. They know how to take sharp objects to guys’ heads. As Teri put it, “Everybody’s head is different.” John Kerry, for example, is a candidate for hair “reduction,” she said. Maybe he could give the leftovers to Pat Leahy or Bernie Sanders or Peter Clavelle? A little cut and paste. Barber Sheehan thinks American presidents should be “required” to have hair on their heads. We didn’t ask about chests or other locations. P.S. Unfortunately, Verizon screwed up big-time and failed to list Main Street Barbers number in the brand-new Verizon phone book. It’s 863-5100. And, no. I’m not dating a barber, and I don’t get a free cut for mentioning this. Just the usual excellent one, thank you. And they’re only 12 bucks. Less for older gents. m

Vermont Girlie Men? — California’s Republican actor/governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is under fire for referring to certain Democratic legislators as gutless “girlie men.” The line comes from an old “Saturday Night Live” skit. It made us wonder if we had any potential “girlie men” in Vermont politics. Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jack McMullen comes to mind first. McMullen issued a press release over the weekend announcing he had attended a Little League baseball game and gave candy to children. “McMullen had a wonderful chance to mingle with the community,” read the release. “Handing out hot dogs and bubble gum to the kids at the concession stand, McMullen commented, ‘This is definitely the best part of campaigning.’” Doesn’t Jack know those kids aren’t old enough to vote? As Marselis Parsons put it when he skeptically questioned Sen. Leahy on Sunday’s “You Can Quote Me,” “If it’s a major race, don’t you think the Republicans would have found a better candidate than Jack McMullen?” Sounds like Mr. Parsons considers Mr. McMullen a girlie man, eh?

THE OTHER TV GUIDE
Remote Control
W
here Michael Moore’s blockbuster documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 offers glimpses of the war that American viewers did not see on television, the overshadowed but illuminating Control Room offers glimpses of what the other side — the Arab world — is seeing. It is a significant work that addresses the issue of objectivity in electronic journalism. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. With the Western and Arab worlds increasingly at odds, this film provides a sliver of hope for finding common ground. Directed by the Cairo-born, U.S.-based filmmaker Jehane Noujaim, the movie goes behind the scenes at the infamous Arab news network Al Jazeera. The White House is fond of referring to the independently owned broadcast outlet as “the mouthpiece of Osama bin Laden.” The documentary covers the period leading up to the invasion of Iraq and extending through the fall of Baghdad, and shows the experience primarily from the point of view of station staff. Over the course of the film, an American viewer is likely to make a number of surprising discoveries. One of them is that these are some of the most articulate, philosophical, well-educated and likable people you’re ever likely to run across in a TV newsroom. Samir Khader is a chain-smoking producer with a comb-over who speaks perfect English. He could be a character out of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” or Broadcast News if he didn’t also work for the most contro-
Hassan Ibrahim is one of Al Jazeera’s top reporters. He’s a big bear of a fellow who once worked for the BBC. From Al Jazeera’s studios in Qatar, he has a unique perspective on the cataclysm wreaked on the Iraqi people by the U.S. and British-led coalition. In a series of riveting oneon-one exchanges with Marine press spokesman Josh Rushing, Ibrahim gamely tries to talk some sense into the young lieutenant. In a characteristic scene, we see Ibrahim’s reaction to President Bush’s
“I call this true journalism, the only true journalism in the world.” SAMIR KHADER, AL JAZEERA NETWORK
versial news network in the world. Unlike Moore, director Noujaim does not appear in her film or speak in voice-over. She lets her subjects make the picture’s points, and Khader expresses a number of them with impressive eloquence and candor. “There should be truly free debate,” he asserts in response to charges that the station is airing antiAmerican propaganda by showing images of civilian casualties. “Everything should be dealt with with openness.” The broadcaster appears resigned but is adamant when Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld goes on American television and accuses the Iraqis of staging civilian deaths, even suggesting that children were being taken from their homes to be filmed at legitimate military targets as props. “We want to show the human cost of war,” Khader says. “We’re not like Rumsfeld, who says he cares about Iraqis. We care about them. We are Arabs like them. We are Muslims like them. Rumsfeld calls this incitement? I call this true journalism, the only true journalism in the world.”
televised outrage after U.S. POWs are interviewed on Al Jazeera, along with his accompanying claim that the Arab broadcast violated the Geneva Convention. “What about bombing a city without authorization from the United Nations?” the reporter says incredulously. “What about Guantanamo Bay? Now suddenly there’s a Geneva Convention?” This was before U.S. abuses at Abu Ghraib came to light. And before the revelation that intelligence concerning WMDs had been “sexed up” or concocted outright. Yet Ibrahim seems to see the whole thing coming. “When did Saddam threaten you with WMDs?” he challenges Rushing in another scene. “People feel you are just inventing a reason for invading and taking their country so you can take control of their oil.” In a succession of press conferences held during the war, Rumsfeld accuses the network of lying and of aiding the enemy. On April 8, 2003, after one such attack on Al Jazeera’s impartiality, the U.S. drops missiles on the network’s Baghdad headquarters, killing one of its reporters. Central Command spokesmen try to
spin the incident, but Khader points out that his company had provided the U.S. with coordinates for all of its bureaus before the invasion, and that two other media outlets were attacked on the same day. “That was a crime that should be avenged,” Khader reflects with emotion, “— at least investigated.” The Bush administration has never done so. On the day coalition tanks rolled into Baghdad, the official military press briefing failed to mention the occurrence. Instead, spokesmen offered an account of the Jessica Lynch rescue — which was subsequently discredited. “It seems like there’s an effort to manage the news in an unmanageable situation,” CNN correspondent Tom Mintier observed at the time. “They buried the lead. They’re very good at it.” Media shows were another thing Bush & Co. were good at — at least as long as the TV coverage you watched was American. Those scenes of soldiers being greeted with flowers, and an Iraqi crowd toppling the statue of Saddam? Both were as fake as that Thanksgiving turkey the president was holding in a photograph taken during his surprise visit to Baghdad. Arab viewers, meanwhile, watched what was really happening, knowing the rest of the world was being fed lies and staged events. Referring to the April 9 statue toppling, Khader points out in Control Room that there was no crowd. For whatever reason, American cameras chose not to show the empty public square. And the small band of young men who attacked the statue? “These were not Iraqis. I grew up here,” Khader insists. “These were not Iraqi accents. It was a very clever stunt. You forget the civilian deaths and only remember the statue.” The White House may have drummed up media support on the home front, but it badly miscalculated reactions in the rest of the world. Launched in 1996, Al Jazeera was
originally banned by some Middle Eastern governments for being critical of their regimes. As a result of its fierce independence and commitment to openness, it has become the most trusted news network in the Arab world. Al Jazeera broadcasts the war to more than 40 million Arab viewers. If the United States wanted to get on the Muslim world’s good side, it went about it in an awfully strange way. Reflecting upon the missile attack on his station, the U.S. military’s distortion and spin, and the scores of innocent lives lost, an Al Jazeera translator offers a prescient assessment of the legacy Bush policy has left in the region: “They radicalize people more and more. Soon there’ll be no more room for people like me who speak softly. People will begin to take things into their own hands.” Sound like anything you’ve seen on the news every night for the past year or so? Here’s that sliver of hope: In contrast to everything we’ve been told, the people who run Al Jazeera turn out to be decent and level-headed. Their hopes, dreams and ideals don’t seem all that different from those of most Americans. Some even seem to understand that what the American government does and what the American people feel can be two different things. And, amazingly, some of them still trust that the American people will intervene. “The United States is going to stop the United States,” asserts Ibrahim in one of his final debates with Lt. Rushing. “I have absolute confidence in the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. people.” Ibrahim will be watching the results come in on election night. So will Rushing, though for the first time in 14 years he won’t be doing it from a military base. The Pentagon has ordered him not to comment on Control Room. As a result, he’s leaving the Marines. m

Troubled Waters
young woman, bundled in a blanket and with a towel wrapped around her head, sleeps on a couch in a cramped room. She stirs to give her limbs a catlike stretch and, sitting upright with a start, takes in her surSTORY roundings. We can tell by the look on her ERIK face that it’s not her place. We also get a very ESCKILSEN strong sense that the circumstances by which she came to sleep there are foggy. IMAGE That matter is cleared up soon enough: ANDY Ben, the guy who lives there, fished her, DUBACK Tracy, out of the ocean, presumably rescuing her from suicide. (She claims she had merely Seascape With been “dancing” in the sea.) Why Tracy Sharks and Dancer, remains — and why neither she nor Ben are produced by Vermont Theatre willing to let one another go — are questions that propel the Vermont Theatre Ensemble, directed by Ensemble’s current production of Seascape Michael Jordan With Sharks and Dancer, written by playEvans, Alumni wright Don Nigro. Auditorium, Moviegoers of a certain generation may Champlain College, remember that James Stewart’s character in Burlington. July 21-25, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film Vertigo nearly 28-31, 8 p.m. lost his mind after rescuing a comely Kim Novak from San Francisco Bay. The rewards for impromptu lifeguard bravery improved
greatly for Tom Hanks some years later when, in the unflinchingly silly 1984 film Splash, his character becomes the terrestrial caretaker of a mermaid with borderline nymphomania, played by Daryl Hannah. In the grand tradition of serious theater, Ben’s reward for saving Tracy’s life in Seascape is more complicated, more nuanced. He suffers neither the mental breakdown of Stewart’s character nor enjoys Hanks’ character’s incredibly good luck. Instead, he gets an earful of ingratitude, insults and accusations. What Ben gives Tracy in return is a cup of hot chocolate, a ham sandwich and an invitation to stay. Most real-life relationships take a little time to descend into dysfunction. This one does a swan dive at the top of Act 1, Scene 1. Right away, we know this couple is headed for trouble, and the source of the friction is Tracy, played by Rachel Dorfman. Nigro has created a captivating character here, a woman whose lifetime of abuse and rejection has crystallized into such searing selfloathing that she has only contempt for any man who would not have taken advantage

HONEY GARDENS THE NEW CROP OF HONEY IS IN! of her in her vulnerable, naked state. But this is all subtext; that is, what Tracy says to Ben clearly masks the painful truth of what she’s feeling. On the surface, Nigro has presented a woman who, rather than expressing gratitude to the man who appears to have saved her life, becomes more demanding the more he caters to her. In brief glimpses into Tracy’s past, we come to understand that her childhood taught her some hard lessons — chief among them, not to get too attached to people. This seems to be her motivation for slamming Ben at every opportunity. In playing Tracy, Dorfman makes some strong choices, though not all of them strengthen her overall performance. To say she is feisty is like saying a jellyfish has a funny texture. Keeping her voice at a moderate volume, she snaps at Ben like a soggy beach towel, nipping in the bud any gesture of kindness. The speed and iciness of Tracy’s responses suggest the deep conditioning — and deep, deep wounds — from which her testiness derives. To her credit, Dorfman occasionally manages to play this über-bitchiness to comic effect. As she ignores one oppor-
be about relationships, not just sex, and Pepe doesn’t fully mine that side of the dynamic. He’s a convincing librarian who, in his free time, is writing the Great American Novel (or not). That he keeps the manuscript in the refrigerator, hidden from burglars and safe from fire, lends a quirky dash to his character. Pepe moves well on stage and delivers lines with easy, naturalistic style. Perhaps because Tracy’s past has been more dramatic than Ben’s, Dorfman’s issues echo loudly in her lines. What does not come across as clearly in Pepe’s turn is why Ben is drawn to Tracy — and holds on more tightly the harder she pushes him away. One might expect a cloistered librarian pecking away at an old typewriter in a ratty beachside cottage to welcome a little company. But that universal human need for connection doesn’t bubble to the surface often enough in Pepe’s performance. While the method to the madness is not always apparent in this play, a crackling dramatic tension is palpable and inescapable at every moment. Director Michael Jordan Evans has demonstrated skill at getting his players to maintain a brisk pace. As with his
One cannot overestimate the challenge that the play itself presents: Two characters. Two acts. One room. Add emotional and psychological baggage and stir. tunity after another to show a little humanity toward Ben, one wonders just how far she can go in this mode. Over the length of the play, the effect becomes a bit exhausting, and this is where Dorfman loses steam despite all she gives off. To anticipate that these odd strangers will become an odd couple — and that sense pervades the play from the outset, so this disclosure gives away no plot secrets — one might expect to see more of the wounded individual behind the tough shell than Dorfman reveals. In fairness to the actor, Nigro has drawn her character in such a way that she rarely opens herself up to Ben. In fact, most of the important background information Tracy and Ben share with one another comes across in quasi-fictional stories that Tracy insists they tell. Still, while Dorfman’s eyes dart off to the side, avoiding direct contact with Ben or the audience, we hunger for a look that might suggest some of her emotional ice is melting. As Ben, John Carlos Pepe also assumes a formidable challenge. Why would anyone put up with such ill treatment? When Tracy joins him in his bed, we begin to understand. But this play seems to
staging of David Mamet’s American Buffalo earlier this season, he wrings maximum drama from Nigro’s rapid-fire dialogue and from deft blocking that keeps his actors in close physical contact. In both American Buffalo and Seascape, the result is almost relentless conflict. In this production, that ends up being the play’s greatest achievement but, occasionally, its chief liability as well. Were Dorfman’s Tracy to take a breath from time to time and reveal a more profound glimpse of vulnerability, and were Pepe’s Ben to show a bit more backbone, one might see more convincingly what connects these two individuals. This production of Seascape With Sharks and Dancer lacks the emotional ebb and flow one might expect from a story of two complete strangers falling in love, but the dance they do in Ben’s hovel never fails to compel interest. One cannot overestimate the challenge that the play itself presents: Two characters. Two acts. One room. Add emotional and psychological baggage and stir. As the title suggests, these are dangerous waters in which to swim, and this director and cast deserve credit for venturing into the deep end. 쩾

Interview with Vampires Inside the weird world of Live Action Role Play
T STORY
CATHY RESMER IMAGE
SUSAN NORTON
he vampires gather in Burlington every Friday night at 8:30, April through September. One by one, they slink toward the white marble steps on the park side of City Hall. There they meet their supernatural brethren: werewolves, mages, mummies and changelings. They disperse at 9 to prowl the streets, from Main to Pearl, South Union to the Waterfront. The creatures stalk prey, plot to overthrow the government, and fight to the death. At least, they imagine they do. These denizens of the darkness are actually ordinary men and women, most of them under 30. They’re playing a game called Mind’s Eye Theater, a Live Action Role Play game, or LARP. It’s like the fantasy board game Dungeons and Dragons, except the board is Burlington. And instead of using tokens to represent their characters, players act the parts themselves. For a few hours a week, they can create an alter ego and live — or pretend to live — in a parallel universe, one that is more exciting, and more dangerous, than our own. To understand how and why LARPers spend Friday nights playing make-believe, I decided to join them
for a game. I’ll admit that I approached this endeavor with a slight condescension. After all, fantasy role-playing is a goofy, hopelessly nerdy hobby. Whether it is nerdier than learning Klingon or writing Harry Potter fanfiction, I can’t say, but it’s clearly worse than memorizing all the three-letter words to play in a Scrabble tournament. At least you can win money playing Scrabble. So, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the game, and by the unexpected fondness — and, yes, respect — I developed for my new LARPing friends. To prepare for my adventure, I contacted the Storytellers — the group of volunteers who organize and referee the games. I found them through their website, www.madguild.org. Storytellers don’t write the stories — White Wolf Gaming Company sells the rule books and the broad plot outlines — but they do direct the scenes. They give players stage directions, and often stand in for pivotal characters if turnout is low. Each Storyteller in the Friday-night game is responsible for a different breed of monster. Because vampires are supposedly the easiest characters for beginners to play, Vampire Storyteller Patrick Gallagher responded to my query. I sus-
pected I was in over my head when the 24-year-old, who works for a local Internet service provider, sent me a detailed, four-page description of what he called “the basics” of vampirism. I was hoping he could just assign me a character, but that’s not how it works. The whole point is that you’re supposed to come up with your own. After perusing Gallagher’s notes on character creation, I came up with what seemed a plausible profile. I would play a youngish female vamp, born in 1951 and rendered undead while studying English literature at Smith College in the early 1970s. I called her “Gladys.” Her sire — the one who administered what they call “The Embrace” — was her very own roommate, with whom she had been carrying on a covert lesbian affair. Following Gladys’ conversion, the two moved into an apartment. They fed for years on unsuspecting Smithies before Gladys’ sire left her for an older man. Heartbroken, Gladys wandered north to Montpelier, where she became a celebrated poet, feeding off of her star-struck admirers and the occasional itinerant Phishhead.
It wasn’t dark yet when I arrived at City Hall Park around 8 p.m. on a recent Friday. I had come early, as per Gallagher’s instructions, to finish building my character. None of the dozen or so “creatures” greeted me as I approached. I felt like a freshman on the first day of high school. My nervousness was exacerbated by my outfit: denim shorts and a sporty blue shirt. Players don’t exactly get costumed to LARP — nobody had any plastic Dracula teeth — but most of them were dressed in black. I sat by myself, eavesdropping on conversations about computer-operating systems and “obfuscated Nosferatus.” At 8:20, a man in a black suit and trendy rectangular sunglasses introduced himself. It was Gallagher. He had just finished a last-minute Storyteller planning session. He handed me a sheet of white paper filled with columns, which we used to plot Gladys’ character traits. I compiled her personality by choosing from a list of options in one of his rulebooks. I gave her intelligence, empathy and the ability to speak German, just in case. For her Merits and Flaws, I chose common sense, and I gave her only one

eye — a scar alluding to a troubled past. And for a little mystery, I added, “touch of frost” — an eerie affect that would suck warmth from anyone who touched her. I almost picked “smell of the grave,” but changed my mind. Turning people cold is somehow poignant and tragic; stinking like death is just plain icky. Around nine o’clock, Gallagher joined the other Storytellers on the steps and announced to the 20 or so players that the game was about to begin. He reviewed the most important rules: no violence, no weapons, no drugs or drinking, be mindful of passers-by, don’t frighten anyone or cause a scene. Then the group split up by species, at which point Gallagher reminded us many people would be starting the game in jail. Lately the U.S. government had been rounding up supernaturals and transporting them to internment camps. “People who were here last week, or otherwise detained, if you could move off under these trees,” he said. Apparently, the police had set up a sting operation and captured Gladys, er, me. Prior to the night’s
our trek: 23-year-old Karen Munnett, a hairdresser from Vergennes. Her vampire name was Melissa, and judging from her soft-spoken, aloof demeanor, she didn’t care to talk to me. On the way, we picked up another vamp, 23-year-old Ian Morgan, a.k.a. Dr. Robert Van Owen. He sported a button-down shirt, a bow tie and a brown fedora. Once at the camp, we had nothing to do but wait. Doc Van Owen struck up a conversation with me. “What clan are you?” he asked in a vaguely British accent. Before I could respond, he switched to his normal Americanized voice to add an important stage direction. “A third eye opens up on my forehead,” he said. I remembered that most vampires don’t trust the third-eye tribe, but I figured I was stuck with him so I might as well play nice. It was a good thing, too. A few minutes later, Gallagher told us it was feeding time, so we got ready to pretend to eat. Then he announced that a giant Sabbat vampire was threatening to kill me and eat my blood ration. Van Owen, pretending to sit next to the imaginary Sabbat guy, yelled
Andropov explained in a thick Russian accent that he wanted Van Owen and Melissa to escape with him. He gestured to me and Lucy. “These two, I have no use for,” he said. The Doc defended us. “I see no reason why they should not be free as well,” he countered. I hoped Andropov would agree. After sitting on a cement ledge at the back of the courtyard for two hours, I was ready to leave. But before we could escape, we had to wait for the mages to show up for the big battle scene at the end. In the meantime, Van Owen waxed philosophical. He told me he didn’t want to die a monster. He had tried to save me because he was trying to redeem himself and regain his humanity. The warden, he said, might decide to do away with us any day, by “giving us all a mass suntan.” He sighed. As everyone knows, sunlight kills vampires. “There’s precious little I can do about that,” he said. Then he and Melissa got up to grab a sandwich at Kountry Kart Deli down the street. “Anybody want anything?” he asked in his Ian Morgan voice. We waited while they ate their late-night snack.

for the guards. When the Sabbat vamp lunged across the table for me, I ducked. Van Owen tackled him. Together we beat the crap out of him. In real time, the whole battle would have lasted no more than five minutes, but in game time, it took a half-hour. That’s because we had to play Rock Paper Scissors every time we made a move. That’s how they decide conflicts in the LARP world. Silly as it sounds, I felt a rush of adrenaline after our fight. “Thanks, Doc,” I muttered afterwards, unself-consciously. Another vampire joined us after the fight: 18-year-old Dionne Marro, a.k.a. Lucy. She had driven up from Montpelier for the game. Gallagher told the three of us that another important vampire was in our midst — the ancient Russian Nicholai Andropov, who was alive during the reign of Ivan the Terrible. Since no one had shown up to play him, Gallagher slipped into the role. When some imaginary fighting vampires created a diversion, Andropov beckoned us into an alleyway off the courtyard. As we huddled there, Gallagher-
Finally, around midnight, the mages arrived. As they turned the corner into our real-life courtyard, Gallagher announced that several vampires had started fighting in the far corner of our imaginary pen. The guards, distracted by the scuffle, had left their posts. This was our chance at freedom! Doc, Melissa, Lucy, and I raced into the prison to find Andropov. Then the five of us tore through the compound, looking for a way out, slaughtering the guards who blocked our path. In reality, we stood quietly in the narrow alley, playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. When Gallagher, taking a break from his role as Andropov, told us we had reached the prison’s command center, we re-entered the courtyard. Two mages and their Storyteller faced us — they, too, had escaped, and were fighting their way out. Somehow, together we managed to defeat the governmental agents and steal their Black Hawk helicopter, which was parked on the prison roof. My last LARP thought, as we escaped at one o’clock in the morning, was Thank goodness Lucy knows how to fly this thing. 쩾

game, I had been on my way to feed and they’d surrounded me. I got cuffed, stuffed into a C-130 Transport, and flown from Burlington to the detention site in Plattsburgh, New York. I asked Gallagher why the feds were suddenly arresting supernatural beings. He explained that, though most supernaturals try to stay hidden from mortals, the entire lot of them had been exposed in the past few months. An interspecies group had battled a giant, flesh-eating monster beneath the streets of New York, and it had gotten out of hand. “CNN got it on camera,” he said. “Ever since, the wall came tumbling down.” Thanks to anti-terrorism measures, the government was rounding up every creature in sight. “The PATRIOT Act has done well for supernatural suppression,” he noted as we walked to the prison. Of course, we weren’t walking to Plattsburgh; we headed instead to the courtyard next to Purple Shutter Herbs on Main Street. It’s set back just far enough from the street to be a perfect LARPing location. Another woman joined us on

★ THE WAL
Anti-sprawl crusader Al Norman helps St. Albans think outside the box story: ken picard photos: jay ericson It’s a pleasant summer evening for a neighborhood barbecue at Hudak Farm in Swanton. Inside the main greenhouse, the Raging Grannies are in full bloom. An all-women singing troupe decked out in splashy sundresses and flowery hats, the Grannies are just about to perform. One hundred or so residents from the greater St. Albans area are seated around them on lawn chairs and empty plant racks. Outside, scavenging boys are picking clean the last of the free hot dogs, sodas and homemade brownies. A group called the Northwest Citizens for Responsible Growth has organized this barbecue to let folks in the area discuss the pros and cons of a Wal-Mart store being proposed for a site down the road on Route 7. When the Grannies step up to the microphone, it’s easy to imagine these older women working as “greeters” at the front door of the new Wal-Mart — that is, until they begin singing. Their first ditty, sung to the tune of “Three Blind Mice,” is a little social commentary about the world’s largest corporation: Wal-Mart sucks. Wal-Mart sucks, The life out of towns, the life out of towns. Downtown merchants have to close their doors, The local economy falls through the floors, Because Wal-Mart sucks. Another song, sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things,” rails against the
“Shirts from Honduras and Nikes from China/Clothes made in sweatshops in North Carolina.” Other numbers skewer the discount retailer for selling cheap goods and offering non-union jobs that pay low wages. Supposedly, the barbecue was open to everyone, regardless of their support for or opposition to the proposed store. But based on the crowd’s enthusiastic applause — not to mention the numerous “No SprawlMart” stickers on people’s lapels — there’s no mistaking the prevailing opinions. Enjoying the performance from the wings is the evening’s featured speaker: Al Norman, a 57-year-old anti-corporation crusader who has spent the last 11 years battling the incursion of big-box stores into small-town America. Norman, a Massachusetts resident whom “60 Minutes” once dubbed “the guru of the anti-Wal-Mart movement,” thrives on these slices of rural Americana, right down to the chickens roosting in the rafters that periodically weigh in on the festivities with their cackling. It’s this kind of homey merriment, Norman says, that emboldens a community to take on a large, multinational corporation. And multinational corporations don’t come any larger than Wal-Mart. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retail
chain employs 1.5 million workers worldwide and has annual revenues larger than the gross domestic products of Israel and Ireland combined. The company’s latest plan for Vermont is to build a 144,000-square-foot store on a 107-acre lot, an area more than twice the size of downtown St. Albans. Not everyone in the community thinks a discount center that big is a bargain for Franklin County. Sprawl-busting isn’t Norman’s “career,” or even his primary source of income — it’s his passion. He’s the founder of an Internet-based nonprofit group called Sprawl-Busters, which serves as an information clearinghouse on suburban build-out. The site (www.sprawl-busters.com) includes a “battle response form” for concerned citizens who have never fought a bigbox store before. In the last decade, he has helped dozens of communities from Ocala, Florida, to Hood River, Oregon, defeat proposed box stores which, Norman contends, promote sprawl, consume open space, drive locally owned retail stores out of business, destroy downtowns and homogenize the landscape. Norman doesn’t have to go looking for these fights. They come to him. Each day, he receives two or three emails from communities he’s never heard from before — about 1000 a year — asking for his help in fighting a proposed box store. Over the years, he’s done his part to help save Mayberry — literally. Several years ago, he got a phone call from Andy Griffith, asking for his help in fighting a Food Lion grocery store that was trying to move into Griffith’s hometown of Manteo, North Carolina. The store was eventually defeated. Norman has plenty of other targets
in his crosshairs. “In my opinion, Home Depot is just Wal-Mart with a hammer,” he says. “Lowe’s is a blue Home Depot and Target is just WalMart with an attitude.” But without a doubt, he’s aimed his most virulent attacks at Wal-Mart. Norman has written two books on the company, SlamDunking Wal-Mart and The Case Against Wal-Mart. Most of the time, Norman isn’t paid for his work unless he has to travel. He isn’t accepting a dime to help stop the St. Albans Wal-Mart. For him, this fight is personal. Norman’s mother-inlaw grew up on a local farm, and his
Mart store in his hometown of Greenfield, Massachusetts. He sees many similarities between that battle and this one. Like St. Albans, Greenfield had an Ames department store for years that eventually went out of business, leaving the small, rural town without a large retailer of household goods. Like St. Albans, Greenfield defeated a proposed Wal-Mart once before, only to see the corporation return a decade later and try again. And, just as there’s already a Wal-Mart in Williston, Greenfield has a WalMart store located about 20 miles to its south. Many Greenfield residents now argue that a new, closer Wal-Mart would be more convenient and save them time and money. Norman is sympathetic but unconvinced.
against a large corporation. New England has been rocky terrain for Wal-Mart in recent years. In June, the National Trust for Historic Preservation included the entire Green Mountain State on its 2004 list of “America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.” Along with Nine Mile Canyon in Utah, the Bethlehem Steel plant in Pennsylvania, the tobacco barns of southern Maryland, and the final resting place of America’s favorite champion racehorse, Seabiscuit, Vermont is now seen as a place at risk of forever losing its historic appeal. The culprit, according to the National Trust, is Wal-Mart. The last time the National Trust included the Green Mountain State on its annual list, in 1993, there were no Wal-Marts in the
Mart’s potential impact on the area projected that the new store would be a financial bust for the area. It predicted a net loss of 200 retail jobs in Franklin County, a decline in downtown business, an increase in the number of store vacancies, depressed commercial real-estate values and lower property-tax revenues. In short, the study concluded that every dollar of public rev-

aunt still lives in the area. For the last 25 years Norman, his wife and two daughters have spent their summers at a camp the family owns on Lake Champlain. Norman had his first skirmish with “the Behemoth of Bentonville” in 1993, when he helped defeat a proposed Wal-
“Ultimately, this isn’t just about stores. This is about big corporations lording it over small towns,” Norman says. “I’ve lived in rural areas now for about 30 years and they are always the targets for big development schemes that usually make no sense.” Small towns are easy prey, he adds, because they often have an inviting combination of cheap land and weak zoning laws. They usually also lack the experience, money and political muscle to wage a protracted battle
state. Today, there are four. Norman is surprised that the company would be bold enough to take another stab at moving into St. Albans, especially considering the long and costly battle it lost there once before. In 1993, the chain proposed building a smaller store in St. Albans — a 126,000square-foot store on 44 acres of land. The town planning commission and zoning board both supported that project. But an independent economic study of Wal-
enue generated by Wal-Mart would cost taxpayers $2.50. In December 1994, the Vermont Environmental Board rejected the St. Albans Wal-Mart project, ruling that its potential costs far outweighed any alleged benefits. The developer sued and took the case to the Vermont Supreme Court. In August 1997, the court upheld the Environmental Board’s decision. Not much has changed in seven years, Norman contends, except for
the size of the proposal. This time, Wal-Mart wants to build a 144,000-squarefoot store on a 107-acre lot. And if this one gets approved, Norman predicts, within a year or two, WalMart will come back asking to build another 50,000 square feet for a grocery store and/or gasoline station, as the company has done at other locations around the country. “Size matters. If this were a 20,000-square-foot store, I wouldn’t be here and no one would be talking about it,” says Norman. “But the scale is totally inappropriate. This is something that would be big even for the New Jersey Turnpike. It just doesn’t make any sense.” Not everyone at the barbecue agrees. Larry Carlson, a retired Boise-Cascade mill worker from St. Albans, has come to hear what his
neighbors are saying. Unlike many of them, Carlson wants to see the Wal-Mart built because he doesn’t like having to drive 45 minutes or more to buy clothes. “I wouldn’t mind if it was a Target or another store,” Carlson says. “But Wal-Mart is the classic success story, and I want to hitch my wagon to a winning star.” Earlier in the day, Carlson heard Norman interviewed on a local radio station. One caller accused Norman of “class bias” for trying to prevent the discount store from coming to town. Carlson agrees. “I think he’s very anti-business and >> 26A

elitist,” Carlson says about Norman. “And I don’t like outsiders telling us what to do.” Norman gets that a lot. “His assumption is that only rich people hate Wal-Mart,” he explains. “But dollar for dollar, I could make more money being a bagger at Wal-Mart than going around to these kinds of locations.”

Scanning the crowd, it’s hard to get an accurate read on the prevailing politics. Generally speaking, the “anti-sprawl” movement is associated with left-leaning causes, and certainly many progressives hate Wal-Mart because of its low-wage, nonunion jobs, the frequent allegations of sweatshop labor, racial and gender discrimination, and so forth. But the folks who have come to hear Norman’s talk don’t necessarily fit the liberal mold. “We’ve got people here that are flatlanders, died-in-the-wool native Vermonters, brand-new newcomers, and people who moved to Vermont to get away from it all,” notes Sue Knightes with Northwest Citizens for Responsible Growth. Knightes has lived in St. Albans for 34 years. Like many of her neighbors, she opposes the proposed Wal-Mart because she’s concerned that it will hurt the downtown — something she saw the malls do

food stamps for their workers. And a recent study by the advocacy group Good Jobs First found that nationwide, Wal-Mart has benefited from more than $1 billion in taxpayer assistance. Norman warns Vermonters about what he calls Wal-Mart’s “exotic tax-sheltering technique.” The St. Albans store will most likely be owned by the Wal-Mart Real Estate Business Trust of Delaware. This separate business entity pays royalties to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., then writes them off as a business expense, thus reducing its state income tax burden. Currently, this loophole — which is used by other large corporations as well — costs Vermont between $7 million and $14 million a year in lost revenues. “Why should we, as taxpayers, give Wal-Mart incentives, for a company that had $9 billion in profits last year?” Norman asks. “It’s ridiculous.” And, as Wal-Mart rolls back its tax burden, it’s also gobbling up real estate. The company’s investment material describes “an aggressive growth” policy for fiscal 2004, which includes plans for 50 to 55 new discount stores, 220 to 230 new Supercenters, and 35 to 40 new Sam’s Clubs nationwide. The company’s plan this year is to increase its retail space by approximately 50 million square feet, an 8 percent

20 years ago in her hometown of Schenectady, New York. Such broad-based opposition to the superstore is common, according to Norman. In his experience, the “politics of shopping” can be deceptive. True, Wal-Mart is known as a conservative, right-wing corporation that donates about 95 percent of its PAC money to Republican candidates. But in his experience, “I often find that Democrats are pro-sprawl and Republicans more conservative about land use.” For example, Norman often finds that older, lifelong members of a community with more conservative politics have “a stronger sense of place,” whereas newer transplants often buy into the myth that more stores and strip malls mean more progress. Attitudes towards big-box development can also cross ideological lines when it comes to the topic of taxes, Norman says. Fiscal conservatives often take issue with the amount of public assistance large corporations receive. Congressman George Miller, a California Democrat, once calculated that the typical Wal-Mart Supercenter employing 200 workers costs the American taxpayer $420,750 a year in earned-income tax credits, housing subsidies and
increase over Wal-Mart’s existing indoor acreage of 606 million square feet. That translates into a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a new Wal-Mart store every day. But Norman’s anti-box-store campaign has had an impact on the company’s coffers. By his own estimate, delaying one Wal-Mart Superstore for one year can cost the company between $60 million and $100 million in lost sales. And the cost of defeating a store entirely can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. The anti-sprawl movement is making headway. Speaking recently to a local newspaper about a proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter in Tega Cay, South Carolina, a corporate spokesman made a rare admission, saying, “Wal-Mart has been running into increased difficulty getting supercenters open.” How is this happening? One of the effective tools used by small communities around the country has been to limit the size of all new construction, Norman says. The town of St. Albans could put a 60,000-square-foot cap on all new commercial buildings, and require that no single floor be bigger than 30,000 square feet. Another effective tool, he adds, is to require that these companies post a demoli-

tion bond to cover the cost of removing the building, should the store go out of business. As he puts it, “St. Albans can stop sprawl with one sentence.â€? But like stopping the drug trade or America’s enormous dependency on foreign oil, checking sprawl also requires checking demand. Until Americans lose their appetite for cheap consumer goods, the caterpillars won’t stop crawling across the farmlands, leaving big-box stores in their wake. It’s early afternoon at Taft Corners in Williston, and traffic is backed up nearly a quarter-mile to I-89. After four cycles of green lights, the line of cars finally turns the corner and makes its way into the Wal-Mart parking lot, which is more than three-quarters filled. Inside, the store is buzzing with activity. Shoppers are pushing carts stacked with various personal items: diapers, shampoo, tampons, antifreeze. Near a row of cash registers, there’s a display shelf of box fans on sale for $10.97, right next to the 80ounce pickles jars, on sale for $2.88 apiece. A teenager in baggy pants jogs past, juggling two footballs and a dodgeball he’s picked out of a large bin. All were made in China. Nearby, model Hummers are on sale for $244.44, not far from the Ronald Reagan commemorative calendars and the American flags. Overhead, the “Wal-Mart TV Networkâ€? monitor is showing a demonstration of fly rods and fishing nets, interspersed with photos of missing children. Presumably they’re not missing somewhere in the store, though it would be easy to lose a kid in the labyrinth of aisles. Why are so many shoppers drawn to Wal-Mart? For most of those asked, it boils down to three basic reasons: First, the prices are low. Second, as one Burlington woman puts it, “They’ve got everything I need, and more.â€? Finally — this was particularly relevant for those who drove more than 15 or so miles — there aren’t many other options left. As Jim Rogers of Monkton says, “It’s about the only place around here for what I need.â€? Norman hears that common theme from coast to coast. He’s not suggesting that Americans go back to living like Henry David Thoreau. But he does say that we need to go on a “mega-store dietâ€? and curb our appetite for unnecessary goods that devour our resources, clutter our landfills, and increase our dependence on foreign oil. “Americans do two things in excess: We eat too much and we shop too much,â€? Norman says. “For many people, their sense of community is no bigger than their shopping cart. They couldn’t care less about the quality of life in their community, or if it turns into an asphalt strip mall. All they want is their cheap underwear.â€? 슞

Paint It Black
oward the beginning of Putney writer Craig Nova’s eleventh novel, Cruisers, we’re told a story that’s more or less the book in miniature. Russell Boyd, a state trooper in southern Vermont, recalls a formative STORY experience — a tale his grandfather told MARGOT him one dark night at the family’s hunting HARRISON camp. It’s a war story that starts with the liberation of a German prison camp and Cruisers ends with the grandfather’s admonition, by Craig Nova, “So, do you see the essential horror? It is Shaye Areheart ungraspable… and once it starts… Why, Books, you aren’t going to do a thing but stare 306 pages, $24. and turn away.” It’s a moment that recalls Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, with Russell as the hapless Marlow absorbing poisonous truth about “the horror, the horror” from his grandfather’s Kurtz. The problem with
Nova’s version of this moment — and with Cruisers as a whole — is that the extended build-up to the horror dwarfs the horror itself. Rather like a David Lynch film, Cruisers is a novel in foreshadowing — its atmosphere, oily and ominous, ends up devouring part of its substance. But what foreshadowing! Nova is a master of noir imagery — the sights, sounds, smells and feel of foreboding. The first chapter pulls us instantly into the world of Russell Boyd as he patrols a desolate stretch of interstate, waiting for the moment when he’ll have the bad luck to “come across someone who was the perfect expression of malice” (see excerpt). When we meet Frank Kohler in the next chapter, we know that he will, given time, fit the bill. A lonely computer
Nova has staged his clash of human beings as a clash of elemental forces — light and darkness — that might as well be gods.

repairman with sordid memories — his mother, a semi-prostitute, was murdered and dismembered — Kohler reads ancient history and cruises Boston’s Combat Zone, searching not for sex but for the adrenaline rush of confrontation. His credo comes from one of his mom’s badnews boyfriends: “Don’t fight to fight. Fight to win.â€? Boyd and Kohler are cruisers in the spiritual night that pervades the novel, and Nova makes it clear that their trajectories will converge. While Russell dons body armor and stops speeders, Frank armors himself in a sleek black car that promises him the kind of freedom “you could only feel‌ at a hundred and ten.â€? Yet the protagonists are alike in seeking solace from women. Russell’s girlfriend Zofia offers him passion and domestic comfort, but also an ultimatum: She doesn’t want to be “a cop’s widow.â€? Kohler, meanwhile, avails himself of a mail-orderbride service to import Katryna, a mournful Muscovite with secrets of her own. Vermont being the neighborly place that it is, these characters’ paths cross several times before they come together in the eruption of “maliceâ€? the novel promises from its first page. (The plot is loosely based on a 1997 incident in Colebrook, New Hampshire.) Cruisers is told in third person from alternating perspectives; each chapter is labeled simply with a character’s name. Yet within a single chapter, the perspective sometimes slithers disconcertingly from one mind to another. Because the characters have similar preoccupations — mostly dark, with the occasional flicker of lifeaffirming epiphany — Nova’s technique has the effect of making them seem like varied expressions of a single, brooding personality.
This blurring effect is good for the novel’s atmosphere, but perhaps not so good for the human tragedy underneath. While Nova can convey his characters’ sense of loss, he has a harder time showing us what they have to lose. Russell and Zofia seem oddly adrift; they’re people without solid backstories, who have portentous sex — in the thick of a fox-hunt, no less — but seldom banter or bicker about anything except the dangers of Russell’s job. The only character who seems fully realized is Frank Kohler. In the description of his childhood, Nova convincingly creates a world in which horror and normality have become one, so that Frank finds himself clinging to “darknessâ€? as a last residue of his mother, “like the memory of a goodnight kiss, or her grand way of signing her name to a credit card chit she was never going to be able to pay.â€? At one point in Cruisers, Kohler’s Russian bride muses, “Americans had no sense of tragedy, no belief in the finality of fate.â€? The novel serves to refute this claim, for Nova has staged his clash of human beings as a clash of elemental forces — light and darkness — that might as well be gods. (Kohler even thinks he hears a “chorusâ€? commenting on the action.) Writing a modern tragedy is a lofty aim, and one Nova might have served better had he given us a stronger sense of the texture of ordinary life — what these characters strive to salvage from the encroaching “horror.â€? Still, Cruisers leaves us with indelible images of human anxiety, dread and loneliness that seem to take tangible form in the places people inhabit — like the “dim light of [Frank Kohler’s] childhood, which had a humming resonance to it, as though the things that had happened here were encoded not in memory so much as in a variety of vibration.â€? 슞

FROM CRUISERS Boyd knew that in going up to cars in the dark, and in other things he had to do, such as approaching houses where there was trouble, or answering calls when things went wrong, he would come across someone who was a perfect expression of malice, and every now and then it occurred to him that his entire life was dedicated to finding the person he was most afraid of. That was the trouble with those hours when he was alone: the night was filled with so many possibilities, not only those on the highway, but his own brooding conclusions about how things really were. So he sat there waiting for the noise of the radar, the little squeak, squeak, which went off from time to time. Ninety-one, maybe eighty-nine, somewhere in there. Then he started the engine and felt the hard bump of acceleration. Mostly, though, he had time to think of Zofia as she came into a room, her hips moving in that languid sway. She lived in a small house at the end of a drive that wound through some scrubby poplar mixed with a couple of birch trees. In the midst of the shift, the blue throb from the top of the cruiser, the spotlight, the gauges on the dashboard, the needles as orange as the tip of a soldering iron, the toaster-filament color of the radar, all seemed unnaturally bright. Every object was covered with a haunting glitter, which was a matter of fear melding with light. But as the night ended, as he turned off the highway and went toward Zofia’s house, the bright light, the reds, blues, and yellows garish as neon, began to fade. By dawn, everything was washed out. The trees, the road, the houses, even the most brightly painted cars, looked as though seen through fog. As the fatigue came on like a drug, he wondered what he would do if he had to live without those intense lights, so perfectly enhanced by his own excitement. He suspected that during the day he was only a ghost of himself and that the time he really lived for was when the sun went down, as though he was a creature of the dark, kept alive on adrenaline and speed.

L
emons? Could anyone have imagined it would be that simple? I’m talking about the tiny bit of actual, practical, graspable treatment news that managed to escape the maelstrom of the 15th International AIDS Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, last week STORY — a conference that otherwise was given PETER over almost entirely to criticism of U.S. KURTH AIDS policy under George W. Bush. The biannual summit of doctors, scientists, IMAGE health-care workers, activists, politicians, TIM NEWCOMB patients and government officials is the largest of its kind in the world, the Mother of all AIDS gatherings, and this year Mother gave Bush and the boys a good whack with the paddle. I’ll get back to that in a minute, but first, the lemons. It seems that a scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, Dr. Roger Short, has discovered that plain, old, ordinary lemon juice “kills the AIDS virus in the lab.” The government of Thailand, on Short’s recommendation, is now funding clinical trials to see if it can kill it in you, too. I say “you” in the generic sense, not assuming that anyone reading this is HIVpositive, as I am and have been for more than 20 years. I never expected to live this long, never mind in such good health as I’ve got. I also never expected that “Florida sunshine,” as Anita Bryant used to call it, might be the answer for us all. But things have changed mightily over the last two decades. The International AIDS Conference is normally anticipated eagerly by doctors and patients alike for what information it can give about advanced treatment strategies. Until 1996, at least, with the advent of protease inhibitors and combination therapy, this was the only thing on anyone’s mind. Now, however, with patients who can afford the medications living longer and healthier lives, and with HIV itself spreading faster than ever across the globe, the focus has shifted from treatment to money and the best way to spend it — so much so that this year’s conference, entitled “Access for All,” saw the worst science attendance of any summit before it. The United
States cut its delegation by almost threequarters on the order of Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson. So, faute de mieux, they’re going to try the lemon-squeeze on humans. According to The Age in Melbourne, “at least 400 Thai men and women” have bravely volunteered to pucker up for science. Dr. Short’s experiments have already shown that “a solution of 20 percent lemon juice reduced viral loads in the lab by 90 percent”; that it also kills syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia; and that “when he put lemon juice in a test tube with HIV-positive sperm, the sperm were permanently immobilized within 30 seconds.” My guess is a good shot of lemon juice would “immobilize” sperm with or without HIV, and that a lot of women tired of the pill or the diaphragm might want to start keeping it next to their beds. But, for the moment, it’s going to be tested only as a means to prevent infection — in other words, don’t go injecting yourself with it. “Thai women taking part in the test will soak a sponge in lemon juice and insert it before sex,” The Age reports, while Thai men, presumably, will keep doing what they’ve always done. “The potential of this is huge,” says a spokesman for the new project, which is called, remarkably, LemonAIDS. “If it proves to be effective, it would be wonderful.” Yes, it would. It would be the kind of easy, accessible, goddamn flippin’ miracle we on the fighting lines of AIDS have been anticipating for years. On the other hand, if the juice actually works as a prophylactic, and if all the other reports from Bangkok this year can be taken as a guide, the giant pharmaceuticals will be patenting lemons in no time, and you’ll be paying $3000 a pop for them at the supermarket next year. Call me cynical, but I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet. Just consider the statistics: Twenty million people around the world have already died from HIV infection; 2.9 million of them died last year; 8000 of them will die in the next 24 hours. An esti-

mated 37.8 million people worldwide are still living with the virus, with new infections clocking in at the rate of 14,000 a day. The United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that $12 billion will be needed next year for worldwide treatment and prevention efforts, twice what is currently being spent. Give it two more years and $20 billion will be needed for the same thing. It gets worse. “The face of HIV/AIDS is now that of a woman, and a young woman at that,” says Terri Bartlett, vice president for public policy at Population Action International in Washington, D.C. Young people — 15- to 24-year-olds — account for nearly half of all new HIV infections worldwide. In parts of Africa, 25 percent of all women are infected by the time they are 22. “In Kenya and Zambia, adolescents who are married are becoming infected faster than sexually active unmarried teens,” because, in so many cultures, sexual fidelity is expected and demanded only of wives. Even in the United States, where the worst sort of health care is likely to be better than what you’ll find in most of the developing world, and where programs are well established both to help prevent and to help treat HIV dis-
Another concerned the Bushmen’s attempts to protect their huge campaign donors in the pharmaceutical industry. Last September the World Health Organization ruled, in a landmark decision, “Poor nations may ignore registered patents in times of national health crises.” Since then, several of them have done exactly that, manufacturing generic versions of AIDS medications and distributing them either free of charge or at a greatly reduced cost. Now, in what one Bangkok critic calls “an astounding patchwork of cynicism and pandering to special interests,” the U.S. is working to negotiate “bilateral trade agreements” with developing nations that, while delivering all sorts of financial goodies to people in power, would also require the reinstatement of the medical patents currently owned by Abbott Laboratories, BristolMyers Squibb, Eli Lilly, etc. A statement read in Bangkok on behalf of French President Jacques Chirac described this effort as “tantamount to blackmail.” Even our staunchest “coalition” ally, Great Britain, has denounced it, at the same time declaring that Britain will not play along in the “abstinence” charade. Worst of all, Bush’s team still insists on taking a “unilateral”

“Abstinence” is not an option for a teenaged girl in South Africa, a sex-worker in Thailand, a drug addict in Bucharest. ease, the rate of new infections among women is exploding faster than efforts to keep up with it. Among newly infected persons in the U.S., one in four is now a woman. And still the Bush administration is promoting “abstinence” rather than demonstrated prevention techniques as a means of combating the epidemic. True, back in June, George W. Bush was finally persuaded to utter the word condom before “a church-affiliated group” in Philadelphia. Eighteen months after it was first announced, the President’s much-touted, $15 billion “Emergency Plan for AIDS RELIEF” has barely left the ground, and then only with the provision that a full one-third of all the money spent must be given over to “abstinence education” and other programs that stress “chastity” over reality. This insane approach to AIDS prevention is unsupported by any statistical evidence of success in the real world. The vast majority of women on the planet are not in a position to call the sexual shots — “abstinence” is not an option for a teenaged girl in South Africa, a sex-worker in Thailand, a drug addict in Bucharest. And this was just one of the criticisms leveled at the U.S. in Bangkok last week.
approach to the AIDS crisis, refusing to donate more than $200 million next year to the United Nation’s Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the brainchild of UN President Kofi Annan and a fund that is designed to distribute AIDS money equitably to all the countries that need it. Bush will hand out his $15 billion only to pre-selected nations, mainly in the Caribbean, that are “amenable to American rules about where and how the money will be spent.” In Bangkok, the civilized world was enraged. “Once again, we have isolated ourselves from the global community,” says Rep. Barbara Lee, a Democrat from California. She has introduced a new bill in Congress — the “New U.S. Global HIV Prevention Strategy to Address the Needs of Women and Girls Act” — which recognizes that “women and girls are often powerless to abstain from sex, ensure their partner’s faithfulness or insist on condom use even within marriage.” The bill also notes “that condoms are the only [preventative] technology available right now to deal with the pandemic.” Tell it to the Bush boys — at the polls this November. 쩾

22 TEXAS TUNES:: Lyle Lovett may get pegged as a country star, but his music is far too adventurous for Nashville. The Klein, Texas, native started writing songs during his late teens. In 1987 his self-titled debut charmed both country and pop audiences. Over the next decade, Lovett ventured further from country, accenting his music with jazz, folk and swing. Last year’s twangy My Baby Don’t Tolerate finds Lovett returning to his roots. This Thursday, he heads to Shelburne Museum as part of Higher Ground’s Concerts on the Green series.

SCRATCH ATTACK :: As the turntable becomes an instrument of choice, artists have developed new ways to approach the wheels of steel — altering the course of both hip-hop and experimental music. Argentina-born DJ
Craze was raised in Miami, where
he developed his now famous style of scratching and table trickery. He even won the World DMC Championships — the turntablist Olympics — three years in a row. This Thursday Craze, along with MC Sharpness, Tricky Pat, Demus and Scott Free, spin at Club Metronome.

reviewthis THE MAMMALS, ROCK THAT BABE (CD, Signature Sounds) It’s about time everyone quits focusing on the family connections to folk-music royalty that have dogged Ruth Ungar (daughter of Jay Ungar) and Tao Rodriguez (grandson of Pete Seeger) since they formed The Mammals with Michael Merenda (who isn’t related to any famous folkies, but who sings like a young Arlo Guthrie) in 2001. This band can stand on its own, and proves it on Rock That Babe. The Mammals prove it with sparkling instrumentals, edgy vocals, kickass old-timey dance music, protest songs that make you want to demonstrate, and even an Alan Ginsburg poem set to music by Merenda. The addition of two new members — Ken Maiuri on percussion and keyboards and Pierce Woodward on bass — doesn’t dilute the musical power of the original trio — it just adds more fuel to the fire. This band is one of the best hopes we’ve got for the future and vitality of American folk music. See them live in a free concert at the Marshfield bandshell on Thursday, June 22. Summer music in Vermont doesn’t get much better than this. ROBERT RESNIK
THE LOYALISTS, MOODSWING (Self-released, CD)
Sometimes you have to wonder if a group really, truly exists. Sure, The Loyalists have released a CD — and a fine one at that — but to say there’s little info to be found about them would be an understatement. Even the Internet comes up blank! You have your choice of websites about feline enemas, midget cover bands and every sort of organization, product or “personal entertainment” imaginable, yet these guys got nothin’. Here’s what we do know: The Loyalists are a new local hip-hop act composed of three talented b-boys. TouchPhonics and E-Train are the producers, responsible for building Moodswing’s 18 tracks. Framework is the MC and prime lyrical force. All three credit themselves as turntablists, and they’re skilled at deconstructing the sounds emanating from their decks. The album was recorded and mixed by Adam Flick at Backbone Studios, with Assistant Engineer Daniel Hegeman and mastered by Jeremy Page at Cybersound Studios. There. Don’t we know them so much better now? Secretive status aside, it’s the tunes that really count, and The Loyalists’ work is quite solid. Moodswing’s flavor is one of downtempo instrumentals and smooth rhymes. TouchPhonics and E-Train keep things chill, employing piano, classical strings and sharp hooks. They’re a talented twosome; Moodswing is packed with dizzying scratches, blunted beats and sweet samples. Framework, too, shows some serious skill, spitting rhymes that straddle smart-boy commentary and street-honed machismo. Occasionally the group appears to be trying too hard — Thirstin Howl III’s sampled boasting, “my rhymes do to your brain/what bullets do to flesh” in “Credentials” is out of place and pretty silly — but most of this CD is quite hot. “Firestarters” features the sound of someone striking a flint, while Framework rhymes rapid-fire over a loose horn loop and lazy beat. “Radio” is almost joyous, with crisp beats, flute, bongos and buoyant verses. Throughout, The Loyalists produce fine tunes that swing with unmistakable style. Almost all the tracks shine. In the end, the group’s anonymity also becomes one of Moodswing’s more endearing traits. Black or white, old or young, suburban or street, none of these signifiers mean much here, and it’s refreshing. The Loyalists’ lack of biographical info forces listeners to concentrate on one thing: the music. And it’s all about the tunes, anyway, right? Catch them live during a CD release party, Friday, July 23 at Nectar’s. ETHAN COVEY

S EXHIBIT “Exposed!” an annual outdoor sculpture exhibition at Helen Day Art Center and throughout the town of Stowe. Through October 16. ARTWORK “Two Pieces” by Chris Wells PHOTO Marc Awodey
towe is turning into a visual arts Mecca and, in summertime at least, outdoor sculpture looks to be its forte. That’s due in large part to the annual “Exposed!” show, a village-wide extravaganza curated by the Helen Day Art Center. This year’s edition includes works by 18 artists from Vermont and beyond. “Dulcinea,” by Lydia Jenkins Musco of Johnson, is a large, concave piece with irregular edges that lays flat on the HDAC lawn like a giant, umbrellashaped fungus. Musco created it by casting plaster with sand, which results in organic textures and veins of white running through the solidified sand. In the same setting, Boston-based sculptor Mireille Clapp has a completely different approach to materials and color. Her “Sherman’s Cave” presents the standing outline of a cave entrance, built of layered wire mesh in blues, whites, reds and mauve. The combination results in an airy, arched form. “Two Pieces” by St. Albans sculptor Chris Wells is the most massive of the seven artworks on the HDAC grounds. Wells embedded pairs of vertical steel sheets — one 5.5 by 6 feet, the other 7.5 by 5 feet — that lean away from each other like hollow walls on the verge of collapse. Straight lines etched onto the surface edges of “Two Pieces” contrast with the work’s subtle curvatures. The detailed map of site locations, available at the gallery, includes statements by the artists. The briefest of these is by Nori Morimoto of Waterbury, who advised, “Just look at the work.” Paradoxically, his is one of most intellectually
engaging sculptures in the exhibition. “Modern Tower” is a human-scaled, geometric steel abstraction, painted yellow. Depending on the viewer’s angle, the work seems to change from triangular planes and negative spaces to rectangular shapes. The way shadows fall across the surfaces contributes to this effect. Two works in the village beyond the HDAC grounds are the figurative steel piece “Can-Can Ladies” by Catherine Clear of Burlington, and “China Court Lady” by Herb Ferris of Windsor. Ferris’ piece is the more abstract, a stone effigy based on an ancient Chinese tomb sculpture. Clear’s work captures the
have gleaming ceramic ends and multiple swivels for balance. In his statement, Allen likens the sculpture’s movement to Tai Chi. Slim birds, such as herons and cranes, also come to mind. A couple of decades ago, orange was the most popular hue in these blocky steel sculptures; now yellow appears to be in vogue. Morimoto uses it, and Sandra Salisbury of Long Island City, N.Y., uses the same shade in “Parts and the Whole.” Her work is a trio of geometric plywood pieces, prototypes for concrete castings. Like Morimoto’s piece they are humanscale, but despite their semicircular shapes, they seem more static.
Wells embedded pairs of vertical steel sheets that lean away from each other like hollow walls on the verge of collapse. movement of the can-can dance. All other works are positioned along or near the Stowe Recreation Path. Johnson sculptor Leila Bander’s “A Kind of Pipe Organ” is a congregation of nine, roughly 11-foot-tall pipes punctuated by a variety of cut-out letters, ovals and holes. The torched cuts take place high on the irregularly spaced cylinders, making the forms appear lighter toward the sky. Larz Allen’s “Kinetics #5” is a pair of very tall, ever-moving, spindly forms, like upside-down mobiles reaching toward the clouds rather than the ground. The Jeffersonville artist’s works
Another great destination for outdoor sculpture in Stowe is the newly opened West Branch Gallery and Sculpture Park, curated by gallery owners Chris Curtis and Tari Swenson, both of whom are artists. Located behind the Rusty Nail on the Mountain Road, the West Branch is not officially part of “Exposed!” but some works by present and past exhibitors are among the dozens of pieces on display. This is the ideal season for viewing public sculpture, and Stowe provides an ideal summertime venue for outdoor work in every genre — except, of course, snow sculpture. m

BY RICK KISONAK

(109 min, PG-13) CATWOMAN: Halle Berry follows the tedious Die Another Day and the tiresome Gothika with this fast-buck film-acting in which she plays a graphic designer who’s transformed into a feline superhero after uncovering a nefarious scheme being hatched at the cosmetics firm where she works. OK... Benjamin Bratt costars. (104 min, PG-13) DE-LOVELY: Kevin Kline stars in Irwin Winkler’s big-screen look at the life of immortal composer and man’s man Cole Porter. Ashley Judd costars in the role of his slack-cutting missus. With Jonathan Pryce.

I, Robot ★★★
I I, CARUMBA Proyas’ latest is a shockingly derivative bit of sci-fi with virtually no connection to Asimov’s book.
can see it now — a whole new trend in Hollywood marketing. Unless I’m wrong, here’s what you’ll see happening more and more: Studios will put out pictures “suggested by” timeless works by immortal authors. They’ll appear to be toney projects, but, as audiences will discover all too late, the big-screen adaptations will have almost nothing to do with the books whose titles they’ve appropriated. It’s easy money for the authors or their estates, and for the studios it’s a lot easier than making a good movie. A winwin proposition. Unless, of course, you happen to be on the ticket-buying end of the deal. Isaac Asimov is a writer with more than a few timeless works of science fiction to his credit, and it certainly didn’t hurt the opening weekend grosses of I, Robot to have his name in its credits. Too bad nobody at Fox seems to have read the book on which it was based. Sorry, I mean by which it was “suggested.” Alex (The Crow) Proyas’ take on Asimov is sure to impress as a mind-blowing exercise in futuristic fantasy. Assuming, of course, you’ve never seen a movie about robots before. In particular Blade Runner, Bicentennial Man, Robocop, The Terminator, The Matrix or A.I. Because his latest is a rusty, rather dispensable contraption assembled entirely of parts pirated from those films. Will Smith does the wisecracking action-hero thing again in the role of a Chicago detective with a microchip on his shoulder. The year is 2035 and personal robots are as common as personal computers are today. As a result of a pivotal incident in his life, Smith’s character has a problem with cyborgs. He’s the artificial-intelligence equivalent of a racist, in fact, and his paranoia has made him the laughingstock of his precinct. When a wellknown robot designer (James Cromwell) commits suicide, Smith cries wolf, claiming that the scientist was really murdered by a humanoid run amok.
For a time, the detective appears to be right. He discovers the existence of a renegade robot that appears to have developed the ability to reason, reflect and even feel. “Sonny” is among the newest generation of androids produced by the so-powerful-it-has-to-be-evil corporation U.S. Robotics, but for some reason he’s evolved beyond his fellow machines. Alan Tudyk provides the voice for Sonny, and anyone who has seen 2001: A Space Odyssey will recognize that he’s doing a convincing impression of HAL 9000, the supercomputer that runs amok in Stanley Kubrick’s classic. With the assistance of CGIs, Proyas fills the screen at times with hundreds, even thousands, of these new robots. It’s unfortunate that, individually or en masse, they are not more visually interesting. Aside from their see-through Lucite faces, they’re an uninspired combination of chrome and black cable. While Sonny turns out to be one of the good guys, a ’droid revolution is indeed in the works, and the fate of humankind winds up in the hands of the maverick cop, a U.S. Robotics staffer/mandatory movie babe played by Bridget Moynahan, and their prefab pal. Of course, in a movie so predictably programmed, what chance does an army of killer machines have against this trio? I, Robot is not a total waste of time. Proyas creates a snazzy futurescape, in a Blade Runner-lite sort of way, and one or two of the film’s effects are eye-poppers. It’s as derivative as a motion picture can be, however, a by-thenumbers action film retrofitted as a sci-fi work of art. Smith, for his part, evidently has tired of Oscar-chasing and elected to resume a career of car chases and shootouts. Asimov’s imprint is nowhere to be found. The film’s producers bought the rights to one of his best-known works, took the title, and tossed the rest in the trash. The author’s fans will be well advised to pass; it’s one thing not to do a book justice, and quite another not to do a book at all. m
ANCHORMAN★★★1/2 Will Ferrell co-wrote and stars in this comedy about a ’70s TV newsman and his rivalry with a female journalist who challenges him for the top spot at their San Diego station. With Christina Applegate and Paul Rudd. Directed by firsttimer Adam McKay.

Jim Broadbent and Cecile De France costar. Frank Coraci directs. (100 min, PG) BATTLE OF ALGIERS★★★★1/2 Now in rerelease, director Gillo Pontecorvo’s 1965 pseudo-documentary offers a powerful portrait of the conflict between Algerian citizens and their French “protectors,” a situation which, in retrospect, has more than a few parallels to the U.S.’s involvement in Vietnam.

BON VOYAGE
flick chick
BY SUSAN GREEN
SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
War Coverage
Resistance fighters plot clandestine actions, ordinary criminals seek moneymaking opportunities, and everyday citizens rich and poor just want to board the next boat for England. Isabelle Adjani — who’ll be honored at this year’s Montréal World Film Festival — has a radiant, possibly Botoxed face that perfectly captures the vain self-absorption of the central character. The 48-year-old actress portrays Viviane, a femme fatale of indeterminate age whose lovers, particularly those with wealth and power, invariably shield her from harsh reality. A star of the cinema, she is transparently manipulative, but men of that era are unable to resist her charms.
Frederic (the delightful Gregori Derangere) is one of those hapless suckers. More than a decade younger than Viviane, he’s a writer with little money and few connections. She knows his most useful quality is a willingness to do whatever it takes to make her happy. This notion lands him in prison, after she apparently kills another suitor and persuades Frederic to take the blame in order to shield her from bad publicity. But he escapes from jail just as the tanks roll into the City of Light. On a crowded train to the as-yet-unoccupied Bordeaux, where at least half of France also seems headed, Frederic meets Camille (Virginie Ledoyen). She’s the lovely assistant to an elderly Jewish scientist (Jean-March Stehle) who must flee the country to protect his hide and his supply of “heavy water,” an ingredient for making atomic bombs, from the Nazis. Espionage may be in the air when an American reporter (Peter Coyote) begins befriending the protagonists, as they become entangled in a chaotic city suddenly populated by refugees of all stripes. Resistance fighters plot clandestine actions, ordinary criminals seek moneymaking opportunities, and everyday citizens rich and poor just want to board the next boat for England. The Minister of Justice (Gérard Dépardieu), another of Viviane’s ardent patsies, is also on the scene. He’s among the exiled government officials willing to collaborate with the Third Reich — just the type of Frenchmen today’s right-wing hawks tend to call “cheese eating surrender monkeys.”
Some critics have unfavorably and unfairly compared Bon Voyage to similarly themed films in different genres. One even complained that it’s not The Pianist, Roman Polanksi’s sober Holocaust drama. Merde! This is simply an old-fashioned spy movie enlivened by wonderfully manic performances, Gabriel Yared’s evocative score and plenty of panache.
Michael Tolkin, a 1974 Middlebury College grad, is a successful West Coast screenwriter now adapting a book about corporate espionage. The title: Paranoia. His sardonic wit spawned The Player — both the script and the novel that inspired it. That hilarious 1992 Hollywood satire, directed by Robert Altman, was nominated for several Academy Awards. Once a folklore and religion major at the prestigious Vermont school, Tolkin made his own directorial debut 13 years ago with The Rapture, an offbeat tale about Christian fundamentalist beliefs.
Ex-Vermonter Martin Guigui — who shot Wedding Band here several years before it was released in 2001 as My XGirlfriend’s Wedding Reception — has
directed a new release. Swing opened July 9 in New York City to primarily disappointing reviews. The indie romantic comedy, which stars Jacqueline Bisset, Tom Skerritt and legendary comic Jonathan Winters, adds a supernatural flourish to a story about the retro dance craze that swept the West Coast in the last decade. The Buenos Aires-born filmmaker, who now lives in California, is also a musician and son of former Vermont Symphony Orchestra maestro Efrain Guigui.
General Vincent Brooks, who appears in Control Room during several sequences devoted to media briefings, is the relative of a Vermont legislator. “He’s my brother Leo’s son,” says Rep. Francis Brooks (D-Montpelier). “And Vincent’s brother, also named Leo and also a general, is the commander of cadets at West Point.” The documentary, playing at the Roxy in Burlington, observes news coverage of the Iraq invasion — particularly by the Al Jazeera network — from U.S. military headquarters in Qatar. Brooks says his nephew, who was born in Alaska, has left the Middle East and is now at the Pentagon. Please give our regards to Rummy. m
fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
THE PUZZLE:
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.) HOSTESS TWINKIES may provoke murder, especially in San Francisco. Going from here to Montréal in a TAXI CAB may cost you a couple of C-notes. “Put it where the SUN don’t shine” is an overused, nerdy, loser expression. MARGARINE, not butter, was the substance applied in Last Tango in Paris. Kelly and Bob said they first did it in the back of a SCHOOL BUS. We are going to throw BANANA cream pies at a friend if he misses the wormhole. Under the right conditions, an egg YOLK may turn into a baby CHICK. Lots of animals, and a few humans, use PEE to mark their dating hangouts. Passing muster is not quite the same as passing the MUSTARD. DAFFODILS make the world seem sunnier, unless you’re a sad sack by nature.
E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com) or write me at SEVEN DAYS. Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS TUPPERWARE. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Think of a certain submarine.
B
on Voyage, an entertaining farce about a rather grim time, is a French screwball comedy with a somewhat Casablanca-like narrative. Set in the summer of 1940 as the Germans are poised to overtake Paris, it offers a mildly satirical view of how individuals respond to sinister moments in history. The English-subtitled film, directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau from a script he co-wrote, screens at 7 and 9:15 p.m. on July 24 at Dartmouth College’s Loew auditorium in Hanover, New Hampshire.

FIGHTING WORDS When General Pinochet’s agents ransacked Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s bedroom just days after the dictator seized power in 1973, Neruda responded, “Words are the only weapons here.” Vermont versifiers also know that the pen is mightier than the sword when it comes to winning hearts and minds. Nine outstanding Vermont poets prove the point at a reading for peace. Vermont State Laureate Grace Paley shares the stage with Greg Delanty, David Budbill, Galway Kinnell, Jody Gladding, Diane Swan, Major Jackson, David Hinton and Martha Zweig. John Dunlop, principal cellist of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, performs works by J.S. Bach. Photographer Joel Preston Smith’s recent images from Iraq round out the artistic artillery.

DOWNTOWN VERGENNES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 3 P.M.
The French Revolution was ignited when a mob of rioting waiters, and others, emptied the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789. The insurrection resulted in cheap-date Rosé Mateus succumbing to artsy-fartsy Beaujolais, hoagies being replaced by croissandwiches, and a sustainable artisan cheese industry ripening in Vermont. Celebrating the French traditions of free speech and fine cuisine, Alice and Christophe Lissarrague — owners of Christophe’s Restaurant — held their fourth annual Bastille Day Waiters’ Race in Vergennes last week. Each competing waiter carried a tray with two glasses and an open bottle of Perrier balanced on one hand. Touching with the free hand, spilling or dropping were grounds for disqualification. Twelve spectators and a camera crew from Channel 3 News turned out to watch the women’s heat. Lissarrague banged a casserole with a stainless-steel ladle and called out “Go!” in a distinctive French accent. Then the five femme competitors disappeared around the back of Christophe’s, treading in a tensely cautious formation. According to Alice, the race has never been close enough to require a timing device. Sans an official clock, I’d estimate that about 12 minutes elapsed before the leader emerged into view and headed toward the finish. Jennifer LaBerge of Café Shelburne captured the women’s gold. As she recovered, her teammate Michelle Fongemi recited the established wisdom du jour, “Walk with big strides. If you run, you will fail.” Fongemi failed to place because she dropped her Perrier bottle while surging across the finish line. The silver went to steady-handed Karen White of Black Sheep Bistro. Finn Sonin, four-time silver medalist from Burlington’s Five Spice Café, agreed with Fongemi’s advice. His trademark style: “Slow and steady.” Unacquainted with the conventional approach, Basin Harbor newcomer Jason Buys immediately led the field of six hommes, by sprinting from the starting exhortation. He batted aside admiration for his ability to run with a full tray, crediting his win on the aerodynamic design of his sunglasses and serving tray. His pin-tuck tuxedo shirt gave him the advantage of “the slipstream effect,” he said. Mike Tallman, also of Café Shelburne, came in second. Winners received dinners at Christophe’s. The rest of us went home to our own fast, or slow, food. SUSAN MOUL

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, My ex-boyfriend and I just had a very emotional, abusive and painful break-up. He cheated on me twice and once brought the girl home and had sex with her while I was there! He says he’s sorry and loves me. What I don’t get is that he’s with that girl still, and she’s dependent on her parents to support her financially, she goes to mental-health services and doesn’t do anything for him. He sees me on the side, but I’m sick of being the other girl. I’ve poured my heart out to him, even paid him back what I owe him. Now I don’t know what else to do. If he loves me like he says he does, why am I the other girl? I did everything for him and still do, so he didn’t have a reason to cheat. Confused in Cambridge Dear Confused, Your signature says it all — but what you need to get clear about isn’t what you can do to please this asshole, but why you would want to. He’s bad news, you deserve better, and the best thing you can do for yourself right now is to get him out of your life. Love, Lola

JULY 22-28
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): A newlywed couple I know is planning to go to Cuba for their honeymoon. That’s pretty risky. The American government has sternly discouraged us citizens from traveling there for years, and President Bush recently laid down even further restrictions. But I admire my friends’ desire to combine their romantic getaway with swashbuckling drama. It shows they intend to keep their relationship feisty, free from the ravages of excess comfort and convention. I suggest that you cook up a similar excursion, Aries. Love will thrive on adventure, and vice versa.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): It’s a perfect time to reinvent the past. You’ll unearth interesting discoveries if you explore the old days with a critical, objective eye. Look for discrepancies between how you remember things and what really happened. Consider the possibility that some of your memories aren’t really your own, but other people’s interpretations that you’ve unconsciously absorbed. By August 15, I hope you’ll be ready to correct the story you tell yourself about your history.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Responding to hate-mongers who want to ban gay marriage, the American Anthropological Association said this: “The results of a century of anthropological research on households and families, across cultures and through time, provide no support for the view that viable social orders depend on marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution.” In fact, the evidence suggests the opposite: “A vast array of family types, including families built on same-sex partnerships, can con-
ognize it as such.”
tribute to stable and humane societies.” Make these thoughts your starting point, Gemini, as you re-imagine the kind of family you want to create for yourself in the future. There’s no need to be loyal to any of the narrow dogmas your culture tries to foist on you about the right way to live together with people you love.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Is there a lack of money in your life? If so, and you do nothing but whine about it in the coming weeks, your energy levels will decline. If, on the other hand, you develop a plan to pad your bank account — even if that plan doesn’t ultimately work out — you’ll become better looking and your health will improve. It’s possible, of course, that you’re one of the lucky people whose financial life is thriving. If so, and you do nothing but spend your money on yourself in the coming weeks, your energy levels will decline. If, on the other hand, you share your wealth, you’ll become better looking and your health will improve.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be glad to know you’re coming to the end of the Suffering Season. If you’ve made it through these past few weeks with your sense of humor intact, you now have cosmic permission to give yourself a big shiny reward. To make the best of these last few days, carry Henry Miller’s declaration around with you: “Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems painful can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to rec-
Many creative people feel compelled to mirror the pain they witness, making art that is as desolate as the experience it represents. Greek poet Odysseus Elytis mourned this phenomenon. He believed that artists in its grip are like people with healthy legs who choose to limp along with broken crutches. “During the time of Buchenwald and Auschwitz,” he said, “Matisse painted the most charming flowers and fruit ever made. They still speak more eloquently than the most macabre descriptions of the period. Their creator was faithful not to the tragedy but to the reaction that tragedy kindled in his conscience.” I call on you, Virgo, to respond as Matisse did when you encounter people going through trials and tribulations in the coming days. The best gifts you can give them are your joy and vitality.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This week I’ll give you nine of Darryl Cherney’s 20 “Rules of Activism.” Honed during his many years of protecting the environment, they should be useful to you as you fight for justice and liberation in your own sphere. 1. Never turn down help. 2. Don’t believe your own BS. 3. Speak in plain language. 4. Find the truth in what everyone says. 5. The most interesting things sometimes happen last. 6. Advance planning is overrated. 7. Seize the moment. 8. You never succeed the same way twice. 9. Surf the tidal wave.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The astrological omens suggest that I should urge you to be far bolder than

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Though musician Stevie Wonder has been blind since birth, he has recently begun to drive a Rolls Royce. His “road” is a flat, empty airfield where he’s not in danger of crashing. I suggest you Capricorns draw inspiration from his example in the coming weeks. Create a safe place where you can experiment with an activity you’ve always avoided because

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ve been suffering from an excess of rational behavior and logical thinking, Aquarius. It’s high time for some poetry. I don’t so much mean reading poetry as being and doing poetry. Here are some ideas to get you started. Wash your feet in a river. Lie on a green hill and sing lullabies to the person you’ll be ten years from now. Eat the petals of a pansy or violet or nasturtium. Thank your mother for the pain she endured while birthing you. Give yourself a secret name, then spell it out on the ground with pine needles. Assume you have psychic abilities, and read people’s minds. Sip tea in the rain. Dream you’re a hawk soaring over a volcano.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Joan Borysenko is a medical researcher and psychologist who has written several books on how to synergize the efforts of mind and body in cultivating good health. I respect her work, but was appalled at a statement she made recently to an interviewer. “The most sobering discovery,” she said, “is that we will never truly heal the wounds of our past.” My own experience suggests that some people have suffered some irremediable hurts. But on countless occasions, I’ve also seen brave, dedicated souls completely fix what had been broken in them. In fact, that precise possibility is now looming for you, Pisces. In the coming weeks, you will have the power to make dramatic progress toward a spectacular cure that will put you in better shape than you were before you were wounded.

SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Developed by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, the Waldorf system of education is designed to cultivate the soul as well as educate the intellect. Waldorf teachers say it’s crucial that young children aren’t pushed to master academic subjects prematurely. One sign that the time is ripe, they believe, is when a kid begins to spontaneously draw butterflies. This suggests that his or her soul has completed its chrysalis stage. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because every time I turn my meditations to you lately, I get visions of you drawing butterflies. Does it mean you’ve completed an adult version of the soul’s metamorphosis?

usual. They even seem to be saying that the more brazen you are, the bigger your rewards will be. In fact, Scorpio, if I’m reading the signs accurately, you might want to draw your inspiration from the 40 starving artists in Paris who broke into an abandoned building near the Louvre a few years back. They built studios inside and have been squatting rent-free ever since. Now the city of Paris has bought the building and is paying $3.5 million to renovate it so that the artists can continue to thrive there. Be like them.

At Molson we know the line between friend and“friend”can get blurry. That’s why we’ve created this easy to follow checklist. Simply think of one of your friends and what you like to do together. If that person falls into any one of the “friends” sides then they’re most definitely a “friend.” Here’s to a long and healthy “friendship.”
