weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER
Blog: Tirade Parade http://tiradeparade.blogspot.com
GOT DIPLOMAS? It’s finally here folks. The grand finale. The big bang. I’m one day away from my last class as a college undergrad (and a day away from my 26th birthday bonanza). With my luck, I’ll probably get kicked out of school for sharing with the class my lack of sympathy for Hizbollah or something. Perhaps they’ll fail me for forgetting that celebrating diversity on campus only applies to a self-congratulatory group of “diverse” white lefties. Don’t kid yourselves, Vermont. UVM is about as diverse as a meeting of the Dale Earnhardt Fan Club. Maybe they’ll withold my diploma over a small clause in the college mantra which states that: “No graduate of this glorious institution shall leave here and enter the work force unless they have been sufficiently indoctrinated in the crime of capitalism, the wrongdoing of the Right, the sins of the soldiers, and the salvation of socialism.” ...or some such nonsense. Maybe they’ll just read my blog - and then it will be curtains for Tirade. Keep your fingers crossed, gang. I won’t believe it until that big, white, stamped, signed $200,000.00 piece of paper is in my hand. Posted July 23 by Tirade25
ADDISON EATS
NETWORK NEWS
Thanks so much to Ken Picard and Seven Days for covering the very exciting Localvore movement in Vermont [“Eat Here Now,” July 12]. This grassroots movement to make locally produced foods a larger part of our diets is an incredibly hopeful effort to reduce dependence on oil and support local farmers and local economies while celebrating the abundance of our own region. However, we’d like to make two corrections regarding our group. The article listed our group as the “Middlebury Localvores” but we are actually the “Addison County Localvores,” and are encouraging anyone who lives in or near Addison County to participate. We are sponsored by businesses and families all over the county and are being coordinated in part by members of ACoRN — the Addison County Relocalization Network. Unlike many of the other localvore groups, we will be conducting our formal challenge in September. Like many of the other groups, we are offering multiple versions of the challenge to make it easy to fit into your life (e.g., you don’t have to give up coffee or chocolate!).
Vermont’s restaurant scene has come a long way in the last decade, and the Vermont Fresh Network [“Not From Here,” July 12] has been a big part of that. The early farmer/chef partners that started the Network have led the way in what has become a widespread consumer movement toward supporting local food. The familiar green logo on restaurant doors stands for something important and affirmative — partnerships! Through these partnerships, committed chefs and farmers work together to overcome some very real obstacles in a food system dominated by multinational companies profiting off cheap food. It’s important that our community support the restaurants that are just beginning to build partnerships and to applaud those that excel. To involve consumers in these partnerships, the VFN will soon invite anyone who eats at a VFN member restaurant to log onto www.vermontfresh.net and report on his/her dining experience. (Look for information about the consumer program this August.) At its core, the VFN is about conversations. We encourage everyone to think and talk about where our food comes from and who

Your interview with Anthony Pollina [“Got Local Milk?” July 12] gave us some great information about our dairy products and consumption. I, for one, thought I was doing the right thing by purchasing Organic Cow of Vermont milk and Cabot cheeses, even when the California-produced organic alternatives seemed so much more appealing. Your article made it clear that even when we think we are doing the right thing, we are hardly supporting local farmers at all. I would love for you to give us some more information on how to better support our local industries. The article mentioned Strafford Organic Creamery (which is great) and the Monument Dairy products available in Montpelier and Burlington, but are there other alternatives? Is there a way you can help readers connect with farmers who are willing to sell raw milk to customers who

GENDER AGENDA
I’m all for change, but not when it locks in old paradigms. I find it pretty odd that the only place in the new personals sections where folks can identify as anything but a man or woman is in Hot2Trot, the “unconventional” online community for people “into BD/SM, swinging, role playing, or freaky
stuff we’ve never even heard of.” (Even there, the only other gender options are transsexual and transvestite, the old term for cross-dresser). If you’re “looking for a more traditional relationship” in the Two2Tango section or want to send an “I Spy,” however, you have to click on either “man” or “woman” in order to send it. I guess if you’re a transgendered person looking for love, you can’t find it here. Casual nookie, however . . . Needless to say, there’s a whole host of Seven Days readers and
the community in general who don’t identify simply as men or women, and whose gender identity and expression, biological sex and sexual orientation you wouldn’t be able to guess at just from spying them downtown. I suggest either adding more options to these sections, leaving the spaces blank and letting folks identify themselves as they see fit, or getting rid of that part entirely and trusting that people will say what they need to on their own. For now, the new formatting

NOT SO EASY RIDERS
In last week’s “Inside Track” [July 19, 2006], Peter Freyne asks a good question: How did the Paul Revere Riders — a rabidly racist motorcycle gang that will bring their brand of hate to Montpelier on August 4 — get on the Vermont Chamber of Commerce website? The generous explanation would be that the Chamber was duped. The neo-Nazi-affiliated Riders trade on tradition to win photo ops with public officials. But one look at their press release — headlined “One If By Land: Two If By Sea: Three If From Mexico” and warning against an “unarmed invasion from Mexico” and a “slide into a bilingual” America — makes clear that the racists are coming. The tradition they’re carrying on is clear, too: that of anti-immigrant scapegoating. Recall the “yellow peril” campaign to demonize Asian immigrants at the start of the 20th century. Or the deportations of thousands of German and Italian immigrants through the 1920s. As was the case a century ago, today’s immigrants are considered a “threat” (not only by the

Paul Revere Riders but also by immigrant-bashing congressmen like Colorado’s Tom Tancredo) because they are rebuilding and reinvigorating the U.S. labor movement, with the potential to help this country’s workers win back basic rights and living standards won for us by earlier generations of immigrants. Luckily, ordinary people across the U.S. are standing up for immigrant — and their own — rights, making sure the Paul Revere racists are not having an easy ride. In every major city, in fact, the Riders and their supporters have been far outnumbered by proponents of immigrant rights. In Chicago, one older gentleman arrived on his motorcycle with the sign “Anti-Racist Rider.” I hope that on August 4, between 9 and 10 a.m. in Montpelier, we’ll carry on the spirit of that anti-racist rider. Let’s turn out to proclaim that immigrants — and their languages and their traditions — are welcome here while racists, no matter what revolutionary wrapping they try to give themselves, are not.

BURLINGTON — Amid the chaos and collateral damage wrought in the confrontation now raging between the Israeli military and Hezbollah, the Israeli objectives seem clear: Push Hezbollah back from the northern border with Lebanon — and then maybe we’ll talk. That sense of resoluteness also pervaded a rally at Burlington’s Ohavi Zedek Synagogue on July 19. Jointly sponsored by Ohavi Zedek, Temple Sinai, Chabad of Vermont and the Israel Center of Vermont, the event drew roughly 80 people. Among them was octogenarian Martin Levitt, who rode his Vespa from Essex Junction to show support for Israel. A veteran of Israel’s 1948 war, Levitt voiced a sentiment shared by many at the rally in defense of Israel’s military response: “They have to hit back and hit back hard,” he said. “Unfortunately, this is what the Arabs understand best.” For Yoram Samets, Ohavi Zedek president and vice president of the Israel Center, a nonprofit organization recently founded to promote a more informed public understanding of that country, charges of Israeli military heavy-handedness are misplaced. “I think the response is a restrained response,” he said. “I think the Israelis are holding back.” Born in Haifa, Israel, Samets suggested that to call Israeli military actions hawkish is to fail to see the bigger geopolitical picture. “This is Iran, primarily, and secondarily Syria telling the U.S. to go fuck itself,” he said. “The muscles are being flexed by both sides here. Hamas and Hezbollah are surrogates, as Israel is, in many ways, the surrogate of the U.S.” But support of Israel at the rally didn’t equate with support of President Bush’s Middle East policies. “By and large, Bush has been focused on one very specific area,” Samets said in reference to Iraq, and “almost neglecting what’s been going on” in and around Israel. “It’s outrageous that we’re standing here in 2006 [with] portions of the Arab community continuing to be at war with Israel . . . I think Mr. Bush’s policies have exploded all over Mr. Bush.”
Whether or not rally attendees shared Samets’ global vision, a sense of urgency was palpable throughout the 90minute program, which combined speeches and prayers. Louise Stoll of the ICV spoke first, entreating people to support three organizations with ties to Israeli security: American Friends of Magen David Adom, an Israeli emergency services provider similar to the Red Cross; Friends of
Ehud” placards barely smaller than their young bodies. The rally saw only two moments of mild protest: first, when a woman shouted “No!” at Chasan’s reference to Israeli government plans to dismantle Jewish settlements in the West Bank; and second, when a minivan drove past the synagogue and honked its horn as a passenger waved a Palestinian flag out the window. For Ohavi Zedek congregant

the Israel Defense Force; and the Israel in Crisis Fund. Rabbi James Glazier of Temple Sinai in South Burlington shared verbal portraits of Israeli soldiers Ehud ben Malka Goldwasser and Eldad ben Tovah Regev, who were captured in Lebanon, and Gilad ben Aviva Shalit, who was captured near Gaza. Rabbi Yitzchok Raskin, of Chabad of Vermont, urged people to be strong, and railed against Islamic aggression: “As Maimonides has told us, there cannot be a religion to speak in the name of God if they spill blood,” he said. Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Ohavi Zedek, who recently authored the book Judaism Inside Out: Reclaiming the Promise of Israel, offered perhaps the boldest interpretation of the conflict in his remark, “Those now who seek to destroy Israel — and make no mistake about it, it is the existence of the State of Israel which is now at stake — those who seek to destroy Israel are playing with the fate, not only of Jews, but of humanity as a whole as well. The survival of Jews in the land of Israel is a matter of justice for humanity as a whole.” Some members of the multigenerational crowd carried signs with such messages as “Stop the Terror” and “Thank you Bill O’Reilly and Fox News for telling the truth.” Three children stood on the sidewalk bearing “Free
and State Senator Hinda Miller, who was narrowly defeated by Bob Kiss in last March’s Burlington mayoral contest, the current wave of Middle East violence inspired questions of cause and effect. “We’re all sympathetic to the Palestinian cause,” she said. “You begin to wonder what happened to community, family and things that we treasure. You have desperate people who find it much easier to kill than to do the hard work of building a nation.” Lois Unger Freifeld, a Tel Aviv resident visiting her daughter who lives in Hinesburg, voiced a similar, if more strident, view: “It is my belief that the Arabs don’t want peace,” she said. “It’s more important for them to destroy Israel than to build something for themselves.” If Arab political will for peace was an open question at the rally, the justness of the Israeli military effort was not. As Chasan noted in his remarks, quoting early 20th-century Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, “‘I cannot help withstanding evil when I see that it is about to destroy the good.’” That position, more than any other, seemed to unify the rally. “Who likes to hear that Lebanese children are being killed?” Miller asked. “It brings sadness. But what do you do with a group that intends to destroy your country?” m

Lack of Funds, Clients, Closes Family Connection Center
Vermont’s “Little Italy”
BY CATHY RESMER
BURLINGTON — Divorcing parents who require a supervised space in which to visit their children will now have to look outside of Chittenden County. Burlington’s Family Connection Center on North Winooski Avenue, the site in the county offering supervised visitation services, closed July 7. FCC board member and State Representative Mark Larson (DBurlington) says a budget shortfall and a small client base led to the demise of the nonprofit. Other advocates suggest the center’s departure reflects the state’s inadequate support for supervised visitation services. There are currently nine programs in the state dedicated to supervised visitation; they’re funded by federal and state grants, as well as sliding-scale services. These sites allow noncustodial parents to visit their children in a neutral space. Parents can also drop their children off with center staff, and thereby avoid contact with a former spouse. Most clients are referred by the courts or socialservice agencies. This set-up is ideal for domestic violence situations, says Anera Foco, agency coordinator for Women Helping Battered Women. “They provide safety both for the children and for victims of domestic violence,” she says.“ The programs don’t just help battered women. Joe Verdine is a grateful former client of the Emerge Visitation Center. The White River Junction facility serves families in both Vermont
and New Hampshire. He and his ex-wife used the center during their divorce. At the time, he was the non-custodial parent, but he has since retained full custody of his two teenagers. “It was a stressful period,” recalls the Enfield, New Hampshire, resident. “Without Emerge, I wouldn’t have been able to see the kids. In a lot of cases when the two parents split, the kids are caught in the middle,” Verdine continues. “Without centers like this, they have no opportunity to see the non-custodial parent.” After his experience as a client, Verdine joined Emerge’s board of directors; he is currently its president. He says the difference between how New Hampshire and Vermont treat these centers is stark. In New Hampshire, he says, “They’ve got a lot of commitment and support from the court system, which the state of Vermont does not have.” Indeed, last week Judge Linda Levitt of Vermont District and Family Court suggested to a reporter from The Burlington Free Press that perhaps a visitation center is not needed in Burlington. But FCC board member Larsen argues that the need for supervised visitation exists. “There are certainly a lot of families who could benefit, but for whatever reason, they’re not being referred.” Barbara Rachelson, executive director of the Lund Family Center, agrees there is a need. When the
FCC announced its closure, the board speculated in a letter to other visitation programs that Lund might take over some of its case load; FCC served about 10 families each week. Rachelson says that was a miscommunication. The Lund Center does provide supervised visitation services, but only for its existing residential clients. “We currently do not have the capacity to pick up what the Family Connection Center provided,” she insists. But, Rachelson adds, the response to that letter indicates someone needs to pick up FCC’s services. “From the 22 phone calls we’ve gotten already — yikes,” she says. One solution would be for another agency to adopt the FCC, or at least its mission. The Addison County Parent/Child Advocacy Program in Middlebury, for example, is a program of the nonprofit anti-domestic violence organization Womensafe. Cassie Isabelle, grants manager for the Department of Children and Families, says linking with another organization is not a bad idea. She emphasizes that these are challenging times for nonprofit organizations, and approaches the closure of the Burlington center as “an opportunity.” “I don’t think it means that Burlington will be at a loss,” Isabelle says. “I think it means Burlington will be stepping up to the plate to ask, ‘How do we better serve the children and families in the community?’” m

MIDDLE EAST
Middlebury College Hosts Discussion: “Terror and the Mass Media” BY CATHY RESMER
FILE PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
MIDDLEBURY — The explosions erupting across the Middle East may seem far removed from the bucolic Middlebury College campus, but the chaos will come a little closer next Sunday, when the College Summer Language Schools host a “Symposium on Terror and the Mass Media.” The daylong event, which is free and open to the public, aims to foster dialogue between American citizens and students and a host of visiting foreign journalists, scholars and political strategists. Discussion topics include “The Politics of Terror,” “Is Terrorism Challenging Press Freedom?” and “Marketing Fear.” The presenters — all lecturing in English — include the director of research for the office of the French president, and the deputy chief of the International Terrorism Group at the National Counterterrorism Center in Washington. There are also two Arab speakers in the mix: Abdul Rahman AlRashed, a journalist affiliated with Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper, an Arabic international daily, and Dubai-based Al-Arabiyya TV; and
MAHMOUD ABDALLA
Mahmoud Abdalla, director of Middlebury’s Arabic School and assistant professor and coordinator of the Arabic program at Wayne State University. Abdalla, an Egypt native, will open the event with a discussion of the role of Arab media in shaping public opinion. He intends to discuss the linguistic and emotional challenges facing Arab reporters trying to cover war sto-
ries fairly. He points out, for example, that Americans are fighting something called the “War on Terror,” but American and Arab audiences may not agree on the definition of “terrorism.” He stresses that honest, accurate and knowledgeable media coverage is vital. Even one biased article based on misleading stereotypes “may bring Arab-American relations back 10 years.” That applies to Western journalists as well. Abdalla says he’d like to see more of them enrolled in his Arabic language courses. And he’d like to see ordinary Vermonters attend the symposium. “This is a wonderful opportunity for direct, face-to-face contact with a person, flesh and blood, an educated Arab journalist and reporter,” he says of AlRashed, adding that he hopes participants “can ask what questions they have about the Arab world, or concepts like terrorism and jihad openly and freely.” m Symposium on Terror and the Mass Media, Sunday, July 30, 8:30 a.m. - 6 p.m., Robert A. Jones House, Middlebury College. Info, 443-5510.

BURLINGTON — The year the Southern Connector was first proposed, a Texan occupied the White House, a failed coup attempt was launched against the government of Iraq, and U.S. troops were embarked on a long and bloody campaign halfway around the world. At least something has changed in 41 years — the look and feel of the Southern Connector. The oftdelayed highway improvement project was envisioned to relieve traffic congestion in and out of Burlington’s South End. Long gone are plans to link Interstate 189 to the Beltway in the Old North End. The new project, renamed the Champlain Parkway, is leaner, less expensive and, city engineers now say, more in keeping with the wishes of Burlington residents and local businesses. This week, the Burlington Department of Public Works began its public informational campaign for the Southern Connector/Champlain Parkway at the first of four community meetings, being held in advance of state and federal permit hearings scheduled for this fall. In November, the City Council approved the parkway’s current design, which would cost $18 million, down from an earlier $35 million price tag. Assuming no further delays — a tall order for the bureaucratically beleaguered project — construction would begin as early as next spring, with work expected to run through 2009. The Champlain Parkway would connect 189 to Pine Street and downtown Burlington. The first phase of the project would involve rehabbing and narrowing the stretch of roadway that was built in the late 1980s between the divided, four-lane highway of I189 and the South End. The project’s second phase would further extend the two-lane, undivided parkway through the South End, adding such improvements as curbs, sidewalks and storm sewers, with new traffic signals at Home and Flynn Avenues and Sears Lane. The final phase would add new traffic lights at Lakeside Avenue and Pine Street. At its northernmost section, synchronized traffic signals would also replace the four-way stop signs at Maple and King Streets to improve traffic flow into the downtown. Scrapped from the overall design were plans to build a connecting spur between Pine Street and Battery Streets. That proposal was abandoned after the Vermont Agency of Transportation decided it didn’t want to pay to relocate the Burlington rail yard, or potentially get caught up in the environmental remediation of the Barge Canal Superfund site. The cost to local taxpayers has also been somewhat scaled down. The City of Burlington would only have to foot the bill for 2 percent of the price tag, with the federal government covering 95 percent and the state 3 percent, explains Carol Duncan, a DPW project engineer. “We think that this project is as buildable and permittable as it’s going to get in Burlington,” she says. “It’s no longer a four-lane highway that’s going to cut through neighborhoods or tear down houses to do it . . . From the city’s perspective, we’re getting a lot for our money.” The proposed improvements to Pine Street are also more modest than earlier proposals, Duncan adds.
JUSTIN RABIDOUX, PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEER
We think that this project is as buildable and permittable as it’s going to get in Burlington. DPW PROJECT ENGINEER CAROL DUNCAN
Dropped from this version was a plan to bury the utility lines along the commercial/industrial corridor, which would have added another $7 million to $8 million to the bottom line. Pine Street will also remain a two-lane, undivided road, but will have new asphalt, sidewalks, grass medians, storm sewers and bike lanes in both directions. The public is being offered an opportunity to review and comment on the latest Champlain Parkway design before formal hearings are held as part of the state’s Act 250 review and the federal government’s Environmental Impact Statement. But while minor changes may be made, Duncan notes that, at this point, no major alterations to the project will be considered. “I really do feel like we’ve traveled down every avenue and there’s no other way for us to go,” says Duncan, who’s worked on these designs for the last eight years. “If this project doesn’t fly this way, this project doesn’t fly.” m Champlain Parkway Public Informational Meetings will be held on Thursday, July 27, noon – 1:30 p.m. in City Hall Auditorium; Monday, July 31, 2–3:30 p.m. in Burlington DPW at 645 Pine Street; and Thursday, August 3, 6–7:30 p.m. at Burlington DPW.

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Let’s Get Personal
I
t will come as no surprise to anyone that yours truly is a veteran news junkie. Always have been since dear old dad made us watch Huntley-Brinkley every night, when that nice old man Dwight Eisenhower was president. But lately, things have changed. It’s been six weeks since we’ve watched the nightly network news. Usually catch Ch. 3 at 6 p.m., but instead of switching to the ABC or NBC news broadcasts at 6:30 p.m., we’ve been turning off the TV and taking an evening spin on the two-wheeler. It’s become a habit. No more network news watching. Why? Because we simply cannot take any more of the televised scenes of senseless, brutal murder of innocents that fills those newscasts every evening. Murder that most Americans, including yours truly, realize did not have to happen. A war of choice. The inescapable, depressing fact is that the disastrous U.S. invasion of Iraq was orchestrated by a corrupt and deceitful regime that fabricated the reasons for war. The Bushies successfully pulled off a propaganda campaign so masterful that even the Nazis of yesteryear would applaud! But with the release this week of Washington Post writer Thomas E. Ricks’ Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq, full confirmation of our worst fears has arrived in black and white. President George W. Bush and his team of calculating extremists and professional liars have done more damage to America than any White House in our nation’s history. Fiasco details how the Bushies deliberately twisted and determinedly ignored the actual Iraq intelligence they received. The result has been horrendous bloodshed and what Mr. Ricks forecasts will be a U.S. military presence in Iraq for the next 10 to 15 years. It reads like a super-depressing horror story, but, unfortunately, it’s a scholarly work of nonfiction. So what do we do? The first step is the hardest. We have to stop denying the truth, stop keeping it all inside. A whole lot of other people see the same dark clouds on the horizon. Trust me. So if you’re unable to stop thinking about the looming extinction of human life as we know it — by global warming or World War III or both — take heart! You are definitely not alone, mes amis. For confirmation, we double-checked with Independent U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, a Vermonter who on a weekly basis has had more face-to-face meetings and discussions with average Vermonters over the last 16 years than anyone else we know. Congressman Sanders held a presser Monday to get the word out that the nutrition program for low-income seniors he’s championed for the last five years was not cut from the budget, as the Bush White House wanted. There are openings. Call the Vermont Foodbank. This reporter also wanted to conduct a depression check. Are we in a tiny minority, or are a lot of Vermonters feeling blue about prospects for the future? Ol’ Bernardo nodded. He’s heard it all before from folks at his frequent town
— Fran Gawitt, Dining Room Manager meetings around the Green Mountains. “I think you have a president and an administration that is the most reactionary and incompetent in my lifetime,” said Sanders. “The idea that a president would talk about eliminating a program which feeds low-income senior citizens!” he scoffed. “Yes, that is depressing.” “Health care?” asked Sanders rhetorically. “Six million more Americans have lost coverage.” “Environment?” gasped the frontrunner in the race to replace Jim Jeffords in the U.S. Senate come January. “We have an administration that even today refuses to acknowledge the severity of global warming.” “Foreign policy?” he continued. “Look what’s going on in Iraq today. How can you turn on the TV or read the newspaper without getting your heart broken? It’s really beyond belief.” “What I tell people is, you don’t have time to be depressed,” said Ol’ Bernardo. “You’ve got to stand up and fight back. And I think the American people are catching on.” In fact, Sanders said he’s seeing signs of change among the populi. “People are not just depressed,” said Bernie, “they are angry. They want to see this country be the kind of country we know we can become, and that does not include throwing low-income senior citizens off a nutrition program while you give tax breaks to millionaires. It means being a country which the entire world respects, so that we can go into the Middle East and bring peace into the region.” Makes this November’s election important, eh? “It’s enormously important,” replied Bernie, breaking into a grin. “There’s never been an election you’ve heard of where a politician does not say, ‘This is the most important election.’ But, you know what? This is the most important election.” We agree with him. How about you? Tarrant Update — We just caught Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Rich Tarrant on Ch. 3’s Tuesday Noon News. We’d missed his 10 a.m. “press availability.” It turned out to be a staged endorsement by a bunch of “veterans.” Nice clip of Richie Rich promising he would never desecrate an American flag. Whew! Funny, but just last week WGOP, er, WCAX-TV declined to cover Candidate Sanders’ “press availability,” at which he picked up the endorsement of the Professional Firefighters of Vermont. Balanced coverage, eh? Also, Richie Rich deserves recognition for last week’s “Quote of the Week.” In a press release attacking Sanders for allegedly not being a staunch enough supporter of Israel, Tarrant stated, “Israel deserves a dependable voice in the United States Senate.” Hey, Richie, what about Vermont deserving a dependable voice in the U.S. Senate? One that addresses issues more serious issues than flag desecration. Think about it. INSIDE TRACK >> 16A

After All That! — Bummer! Arizona Sen. John McCain was unable to attend the Saturday “Town Meeting with John McCain” that Republican congressional candidate Martha Rainville hosted. McCain, who knows what it’s like to get shot down in a airplane, didn’t touch down at the Rutland Regional Airport because of weather conditions — a big rainstorm was blowing through at the time. Thanks to Internet weather radar, yours truly guessed right that McCain’s plane wouldn’t be able to land. We stayed home and watched Floyd Landis take the Tour de France, and Tiger Woods do likewise in the British Open. However, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Richard Tarrant did attend, and was even allowed to say a few words to the disappointed audience seated on the gym floor at the College of St. Joseph. Richie is, after all, at home on gym floors. This after an unusually bruising public battle earlier in the week between the McCain and Tarrant staffs. McCain advisor Mike Dennehy dropped a dime on Tarrant’s attempt to hone in on the McCainRainville spotlight. Dennehy told Vermont reporters that in no way, shape or form was McCain coming to Vermont to tout Tarrant. The visit was all about Marvelous Martha and only Marvelous Martha! Turns out Dennehy and Tarrant’s campaign manager Tim Lennon go back a ways. They were teammates on the 2000 McCain for President team. Months ago, Mr. Lennon told us he hoped to be back on the McCain train in 2008 after filling the gap in his campaign schedule in 2006 with Tarrant’s longshot candidacy. Looks like Tim’s plans for 2008 may be on hold, eh? Tortigate Update — Strange world. The Vermont Democratic Party whiffed when it came to Natural Resources Secretary Tom Torti’s attempt to wear two hats simultaneously — Vermont chief environmental officer, and Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce president and chief cheerleader for the Circ Highway. Instead, the Democrats obsessed over Gov. Jim Douglas’ appointment of former campaign manager and advisor Neale Lunderville to replace Dawn Terrill as Secretary of Transportation. Transportation has long been a post where it’s who you know, not what you know. At least Young Neale, the Boy Wonder of 21stcentury Vermont politics, has had more personal contact with our transportation agency than did a few Democrats who served there under Govs. Madeleine Kunin and Howard Dean. What the Dems missed, however, our distinguished environmentalists have zeroed in on. In a Tuesday letter to Gov. Douglas, Chris Kilian of the Conservation Law Foundation, Annette Smith of Vermonters for a Clean Environment and Drew Hudson from the Vermont Public Interest Research Group all charge Sec. Torti has clearly violated several sections of the Governor’s “Executive Code of Ethics.”
They note the code “prohibits an employee” from taking “any official action that materially advances the interest of any entity (except the State of Vermont) with which the Appointee is actively seeking employment.” Torti applied for the LCRCC post in April. Earlier, CLF made a public-records request for any documents showing he had walled himself off, as required, from issues and items that were on the Chamber’s agenda. They got zilch. The tree-huggers have a potential hot one here. Too bad the Democrats are fixated on the Boy Wonder, eh? As for an administration response, Douglas spokesman Jason Gibbs did not pull his punches. “Tom Torti will be stepping down as Secretary in a few days and has already been walled off from the Agency’s regulatory responsibilities,” Gibbs told “Inside Track.” “This is just more hogwash nonsense from three extreme organizations that prefer conflict over collaboration,” said Young Jason (he turns 30 next month). “They’re willing to say and do anything that might create the illusion that they’re even somewhat effective or relevant.” Stay tuned. Showing One’s Age — Story in the news this week about Burling ton’s long-planned Southern Connector. No other uncompleted road project on Earth has been written about as much. The Connector, first proposed in 1965, was supposed to give automobiles swift, four-lane access from downtown’s lakefront to the I-189 Interstate exchange by cutting through a derelict, swampy, wooded no man’s land along the banks of the austere and abandoned Pine Street Barge Canal. The old canal is a 19th-century relic of an earlier, pre-trucking age in Burlington, when the boats on Lake Champlain transported cargo. In the 20th century, a coal-gasification plant operated near the canal until 1965. The facility’s hazardous waste — coal tar sludge — was simply dumped in the adjacent swampland. In late 1979, yours truly landed in Burlington. Got a place on Marble Avenue, close to Pine Street. Didn’t take long for the neighborhood kids to introduce us to the mysteries of the Barge Canal site. It was where they went to smoke and drink beer. Incidentally, today the Barge Canal swamp is a protected nature-walk area with a lovely, self-guided tour. Back in the summer of 1980, we learned from local news reports that the city’s big plans for the Southern Connector were nearing fruition. Consciousness about hazardous waste was a bit different back in 1980 than it is today. To state highway officials, the only problem with the Barge Canal area was that the soil wasn’t stable enough to support the road. As designed, the highway would bisect a twothirds-of-a-mile strip that officials estimated contained 200,000 cubic yards of “muck.” Muck? “Muck is muck,” said the
Agency of Transportation’s top engineer in response to our inquiry. Not only had the state environmental agency not tested the Pine Street “muck,” the Agency of Environmental Conservation did not even own the equipment needed to conduct such testing! On October 21, 1980, the Vanguard Press published the first of a lengthy series about that “muck” and its impact on mucking up the Southern Connector. Here’s the lead: Vermont’s worst hazardous waste dump sits on the shores of Lake Champlain. And if the City of Burlington has its way, a fourlane highway called the Southern Connector will be built right through the middle of it. Since the state wasn’t interested in testing the muck, the alternative weekly footed the bill. When one learns that muck contains a host of hazardous hydrocarbons such as toluene and benzene, as well as cyanide and other heavy metals, one tends to look at it differently. We also found a local teenager who had developed boils and a rash on his back after falling into the canal and hitting the “mucky” bottom. In response to the Vanguard Press series, a neighborhood citizens group formed. The Department of Health fenced off the entire area. Federal officials quickly sat up and took note, too. Vermont’s senior U.S. Senator at the time, Republican Robert T. Stafford, was the new chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. And in the wake of the Love Canal mess in Niagara Falls in the late 1970s, Stafford’s committee was paying very serious attention to the hazardouswaste issue. The first “Superfund” bill was in the works, and chief sponsor Stafford wanted a Vermont site to add to the first Superfund wastesite cleanup list. Burlington’s Pine Street Barge Canal got that honor. Its cleanup became a cause célèbre. Meanwhile, the Southern Connector faded from consciousness. Fast-forward 26 years. Some things have changed. The color of my hair, for example. And we’re typing this on a thing called a “computer keyboard” rather than a typewriter. But some things haven’t changed. Burlington’s Southern Connector remains unbuilt. And with mounting criticism of the latest rather awkward, downsized redesign, it looks like some things never will change. Wider bike lanes?

the straight dope
BY CECIL ADAMS
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Yes, it’s true. The composer of countless beloved standards and show tunes, including “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” “White Christmas” and “God Bless America,” couldn’t read or write music. As you rightly suppose, neither can lots of modern songwriters, but here’s the thing: Musical illiteracy wasn’t all that rare in Berlin’s day, either. Fact is, if the music industry thinks you’ve got enough commercial potential, it’ll likely figure out a way to compensate for your technical deficiencies. All you need to do is come up with the hits. Born in Russia and brought to the U.S. at age 5, Irving Berlin dropped out of school in his early teens and taught himself to play the piano while working as a singing waiter from 1904 to 1907. He played almost entirely in the key of F-sharp, allowing him to stay on the black keys as much as possible. This wasn’t unheard-of for a self-taught musician, since it’s easier for untrained fingers to play the black keys (which are elevated and widely spaced) without hitting wrong notes. In a 1962 interview, Berlin said, “The black keys are right there, under your fingers. The key of C is for people who study music.” So how did he write music if he couldn’t write music? Simple — he got someone else to write it down for him. Music publishers in those days had professional arrangers on staff for that purpose, since many tunesmiths (a lot of black composers of ragtime, for instance) were similarly self-taught. Berlin would bring in whatever he had — sometimes just a whistled melody, sometimes the piano chords to go with it — and the arranger/collaborator would help fill in any blanks, then write it all out in musical notation. “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” the song that made Berlin a star, was dictated to one Alfred Doyle, who reportedly was paid 50 cents a page. Getting tunes down on paper wasn’t Berlin’s only challenge. Having limited skills as a pianist, he couldn’t easily change keys. Not to worry. Around 1910, as his career was starting to take off, he bought an upright “transposing piano” for $100. To one side of the keyboard was a small wheel. Turning the wheel shifted the keyboard right or left relative to the strings, positioning the hammers over higher or lower notes than they would ordinarily strike. Thus while still playing on the (mostly) black keys of F-sharp major, Berlin could hear the music in a variety of other keys. Transposing
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
Dear Cecil, I’ve been doing some research on the great American songwriter Irving Berlin, and something struck me as odd. Several sources claim he never learned to read or write music. While this is certainly believable for later songwriters with easy access to recording equipment, how was Irving Berlin able to pass his songs along to live Broadway orchestras without a transcription? Is this folklore, or did he come up with some way to write music without writing down the notes? Patrick Gary, Dallas
pianos were common back then; almost every musicpublishing house on Tin Pan Alley had one. Berlin called his instrument his “trick piano” and sometimes his “Buick,” presumably because of the transposing wheel’s resemblance to a steering wheel (he later got another model that used a lever instead). He took it with him almost everywhere, including on vacation cruises with his family. In 1916 Berlin asked a friend, the famous composer Victor Herbert, whether he should study music. Herbert said it wouldn’t hurt but seemed unnecessary. Berlin took piano lessons briefly, but quickly decided his time was more profitably spent dictating songs. As Berlin’s fame grew, he could afford to hire a secretary with formal music training to transcribe for him. The first of these assistants was pianist Cliff Hess, who held the position from roughly 1912 to 1917, followed by Arthur Johnston after World War I. At one point the young George Gershwin applied for the job, but Berlin thought him too talented to be happy as a mere amanuensis. Finally the job was taken by Helmy Kresa, a Germanborn musician trained at the Milwaukee Conservatory who worked as Berlin’s musical secretary for almost 60 years, with time off for the occasional spat. Kresa was present at the creation of most of Berlin’s songs and helped defend the composer against phony plagiarism charges. Berlin always maintained that his musical secretaries were essentially stenographers — the secretary may produce the letter, but the executive has to dictate it. Berlin boasted of his ignorance of music. As early as 1915 he said that since he knew little about the rules of songwriting, he was free to violate them, “and the result was [often] an original twist.” Evidently he was also free of the demons that drive some creative sorts to an early grave. Having donated his transposing piano (the later version, with the lever) to the Smithsonian in 1973, he died in 1989 at age 101. CECIL ADAMS

“
iddle-dee-dee. War, war, war; this war talk’s spoiling all the fun at every party this spring. I get so bored I could scream.” I’m assuming some of you out there remember these words, Scarlett O’Hara’s opening line in the screen adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind. I’m assuming, too, that some of you remember Gone With the Wind was about the Civil War — which definitely isn’t happening right now in Iraq, despite a report from the United Nations last week confirming that an average of 100 Iraqis are dying there every day. That’s not “civil war” but “sectarian violence.” It’s a big distinction, and one that our government insists on. And, of course, there’s no “civil war” in Lebanon, either. That’s just war, pure and simple — unfortunate for the Lebanese, obviously, but, hey, if they don’t like it, they should get out of the way.
Really, you can’t imagine what these poor people had to endure while Beirut was reduced to rubble. Anyhow, Scarlett O’Hara’s “Fiddle-deedee” came to mind last week when I read the reports about American citizens stranded in Lebanon at the start of the Israeli blitzkrieg, their “vacations and business trips” ruined “with sickening speed,” according to The Los Angeles Times, “their frustration and anger mounting because the U.S. government [hadn’t] gotten them out faster.” There they were, innocent Americans, “waiting around Beirut with bags packed and fingers crossed,” cursing the U.S. embassy’s “busy phone lines,” “the lack of information” and the “gnawing uncertainty over when and whether they’d get to go home.” Really, you can’t imagine what these poor people had to endure while Beirut was reduced to rubble and more than half a million Lebanese, who can’t go anywhere, were fleeing for their lives. “I heard it might take a week, two weeks,” said Pamela Pattie, one of the unhappy strandees, who doubtless heard the same thing when Iraq was invaded in 2003. Ms. Pattie is described as “a 65year-old professor,” so she was smart enough to ask, “Why in the world aren’t we getting it together?” Others were less inquisitive: They’d heard that “other nations have packed people into rented tour buses and driven them over the mountains to Syria,” but the U.S. government advises Americans not to go to Syria, and therefore, well, it just got worse and worse. Americans who were “already fatigued and nervous after days of explosions” were actually “told to wait for telephone calls”! They were also told they couldn’t board an airplane or a rescue ship unless they signed a contract “agreeing to
repay the U.S. government for the price of their evacuation.” This rule was later rescinded in the interest, I suppose, of good WinningResultsVT.com consumer relations. Even so, a Rutgers University student in Beirut confessed that she was “freaked out that our government is treating us this way.” Knowing her government, she declined to give her name to the press “for fear she would be taken off 802.655.3333 • 800.639.4520 the passenger list in retribution for criticizing the evacuation effort.” Sarah Ostiguy (x 255) or Sarah@WinningResultsVT.com “Are we a Third World country or Adam Hergenrother (x 256) or Adam@WinningResultsVT.com what?” she wondered, while the first batch of Americans who managed to get to Cyprus on a chartered ferry, after a 102x5-hergenrother051706.indd 1 5/16/06 4:48:53 PM hour trip in stifling heat, discovered to their horror that they were obliged to stay at the International State Fair complex in Nicosia, “two huge halls with 1152 orange camp beds,” “barrack-like” accommodaThe Center for Women’s Health and Wellness tions and only “basic facilities.” One “tearGamal Eltabbakh, MD Linda Davidson, NP Georgia Eltabbakh, PA ful” woman complained to the LAT, “I was hungry and when I tried to get food at four in the morning they stopped me . . .

Curses, Foiled Again When British motorist John Hopwood, 44, received a traffic ticket after a speed camera recorded him driving 48 mph in a 30-mph zone, he removed a 40-mph speed limit sign elsewhere, drove back to the 30-mph area, attached it to a lamp post and took a photo to prove that he hadn’t really been that far over the limit. The authorities became suspicious when other drivers questioned the newly posted sign. Hopwood admitted his plan, and Judge Anthony Ensor at Manchester Crown Court sentenced him to 28 weeks in custodial custody, including weekends behind bars, and fined him 2763 pounds

Old Habits Die Hard German police reported that a 61-year-old man on trial for theft in Coburg stole the judge’s keys from the bench. The judge didn’t notice the keys were missing until the man, who had a string of convictions for theft, had left the room. When court officials confronted the man in the men’s room, he explained that he was shocked to discover the keys in his pocket. “He told them he realized how suspicious his story would sound and that he had therefore hidden the keys under a toilet brush,” police official Bernhard Schmitt said. “He’d been stealing all his life, so it was probably just an intuitive act.” • British authorities said that James Robin, 18, who was due to appear before magistrates on burglary charges, stole a schoolboy’s bicycle so he wouldn’t be late. Appearing in Reading Crown Court, Robin admitted stopping the 16-year-old boy riding along a footpath and threatened to stab him and throw him off a bridge unless he handed over the bike. He also took small change, a lighter, a wireless phone and cigarettes. Incendiary Devices Fire investiga-

The woman was riding a motorized cart with her pants around her ankles and not wearing underwear.

With lending agencies scrutinizing your financial affairs, shopping for a mortgage loan can be an anxiety producing experience. Faced with the biggest debt you will assume in a lifetime, it is wise to do your homework when preparing to apply for a loan. Before you submit an application that will spotlight your credit history, make certain you can do so with confidence. Surprisingly, many people simply hope their credit scores are adequate without taking the time to make certain. Credit reports may contain inaccuracies that can affect your credit worthiness, so request a copy of your report and review it with your mortgage officer.

Don’t be tempted to borrow more than you can comfortably afford, even if the bank is willing to loan it to you. First time buyers particularly might be inclined to assume more debt than they can manage. A good rule of thumb is to limit your housing costs to 30% of your income. When you are ready to begin looking for a home, do so with your preapproval letter in your pocket. Passing through the process of loan approval tells everyone else that you are a serious buyer. A pre-approved loan will give you the necessary edge in a competitive real estate market. For a free pre-approval or answers to any mortgage-related questions, call Mark at:

hile Burlington strives to balance a big-ass budget, the Queen City’s arts agency has come up with its own creative financing scheme. Burlington City Arts is contracting out curatorial services to anyone who believes beauty is compatible with business — and will pay a small fee for someone else to embellish their establishment with paintings, sculptures and photographs. Where there’s a wall, there’s a way. City Arts has long been in charge of the art at the Burlington International Airport and the Maltex Building. But in the last six months, the nonprofit has more than doubled its corporate-art client list and extended its geographical reach. Jessica Dwyer and Cynthia Newton keep things hanging at Seventh Generation, National Life of Vermont, Office Environments and the law firm of Paul, Frank and Collins. “Instead of the owner having to organize it, we take care of all that,” Dwyer says of the traveling shows, which hang for two to six months. Drawing from a large nonjuried database of local artists, “in some cases, they choose; in other cases, we make recommendations,” she explains. “We try to get as many artists up and installed per year as we can.”
Albany’s “best urban club” by the local alternative weekly. Another distinction? Red Square South might be the easiest bar to break into. Without forcing a lock or breaking a window, someone stole four Thorsen photographs from his provocatively titled show, “Rats Worth Crucifying.” Puzzlingly, Thorsen notes, they took the “most hated” images, including one of a mouse-head Jesus on the cross and a shot of Osama bin Laden’s head in a urinal. Thorsen practices equal-opportunity irreverence. He may be looking at a short-term loss, but he’ll make up for it down the road — literally. Before they were ripped off, Thorsen’s Red Square photos caught the eye of a curator who runs a professional photo gallery in the Albany area. Owner Mark Kelly put Thorsen on the regular roster of photogs at the Exposed Gallery of Art Photography, then gave him a show. “The Magical World of Matthew Thorsen” is up through September. By then, O’Brien hopes to have sold his bar — again — and be running a new food-delivery business in . . . South Burlington.

n July 3, some local writers and readers checked their inboxes and found a piece of sad news. “I’m writing to inform you that The Write Place is going to be discontinued as a program of Burlington City Arts,� wrote Susan Weiss, coordinator of the nearly 3year-old program housed at Burlington’s Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts. The Write Place was Weiss’ brainchild when she started at BCA as a volunteer. With the support of Director Doreen Kraft, she became a regular employee. In addition to developing and teaching a panoply of inventive writing classes, Weiss established weekly open readings, known as “Write to Read,� and organized special events such as last May’s “Free Verse,� a daylong celebration of poetry. A fiction writer with a Master’s degree in counseling, Weiss says she’s always been interested in blending the two worlds of writing education and community building. “I like to do things that aren’t usually done . . . I’m elbowing my way through to having people pay attention to literature in another way,� she says in a phone interview. This year, Weiss’ desire to work with “underserved populations� gave birth to the high-profile “New Americans, New Voices� project. Beginning in March, the program guided 11 local refugees and immigrants through the process of recording their stories. Participants worked both one-on-one with volunteer writing partners and as a group. Because of their involvement with the program, several have been profiled in an ongoing series about immigrants in The Burlington Free Press. “The stories are quite different. Some are disturbing to read,� says Weiss. Overall, she found the attitude of the writers “very thoughtful and philosophical,� she says. “I’ve been most struck by how receptive they are to people, given the experience that most of them have had. I marvel that they’re still so sweet and open, not jaded.� Now that the workshop part of the program has wound up, Weiss plans to collect the new Vermonters’ narratives into a printed booklet that she says could be “widely distributed.� A reading by the authors at the Firehouse is in the works for September, to be followed by more readings around the area.

BCA is amicable, but that the latter’s outreach programs have “expanded beyond City Arts’ capacity to manage� their fundraising needs. The decision to dissolve The Write Place reflects the municipal arts group’s need to “fine-tune its mission,� she explains. However, Kraft calls Weiss a “tremendous creative thinker� and promises, “We’ll keep working with her and try to help her. Part of what she does will continue.� For her part, Weiss speaks passionately about her mission to bring writing to the community — including people who might not think of themselves as potential authors. “A lot of people like to write because they want to be heard, they have something to say,� she suggests. “They don’t have to have high IQs. Language is very basic to us. Speech is more primary than reading. Because of the way it’s taught in school, [writing]’s sort of thought of as an academic subject, like math. People have a phobia of it.� At the “New Americans� workshops, Weiss encouraged participants to develop “a good, clear voice that feels like it represents them.� The group didn’t linger too much on technicalities such as subject-verb agreement. “Some people are adamantly against the notion that everybody should be a writer,� Weiss acknowledges. But “being a writer doesn’t necessarily mean being a product of what’s classically construed as literature,� she explains. “It’s somebody who explores, experiences and processes with written language. It’s a way of discovering beauty and joy, making peace with things that have happened.� Weiss cites the example of one of the participants in “New Americans,� who “said that he had been changed by the experience; he’s not the same person he was when he started — he’s starting to see his strength.� Weiss is currently at work on a novel about “the development of the atomic bomb and the dissolution of a marriage.� She also has plenty of future plans that combine writing with what she calls “community integration� — for instance, a program that would bring homeless and non-homeless people together in a workshop setting. Before she can get those ideas off the ground, though, “I would like to find a home [for The Write Place],� Weiss says candidly. While she’s ready to “piece together this and that� to fulfill her goals, Weiss says, “What I’d really like is for some business or private donor to say, ‘Yes, this will be our pet project.’� In the meantime, she adds, “We’re looking for pennies under rugs.�

Being a writer doesn’t necessarily mean being a product of what’s classically construed as literature . . . It’s a way of discovering beauty and joy, making peace with things that have happened. SUSAN WEISS ny and adapts the plays himself. As anyone who’s seen a college freshman struggle with Hamlet can attest, interpreting Shakespeare’s wordplay is no walk in the park. Why does Wright choose such challenging material? “My background is in the classics,” he explains. Wright remembers attending performances of the now-defunct Royall Tyler Shakespeare Company and “loving them, even if I didn’t always understand what was going on.” When Wright’s own three children were young, he began producing theater in an educational setting and “found that kids were really drawn to the great stories,” he says. “When kids got on stage, they were very close to their imaginations. If you gave them a character that had some richness to it, they would quickly be able to find something to connect themselves with.” At Very Merry’s camps, Wright fosters that sort of identification through a stepwise process. He encourages families to read the book or play in question with their children, giving them “some famil-
and performed by teenagers. “Like all theater, you have a little miracle at the end,” he says. Still, Wright makes sure to remind his Very Merry actors: “The performance is just a reward; the process is where the learning takes place.” Adults who want to continue their own literary education may want to check out a couple of other local events. If you’re interested in seeing leather-bound books, old Vermont postcards, or an illustrated 1977 edition of Tolkien’s The Hobbit, head to the New England Booksellers’ Summer Book Fair on August 13 in Woodstock. Or if you have fond memories of novelist Russell Banks’ visit to Burlington last fall, ferry over to Westport, New York, to see him read on August 17 as a fundraiser for the local Literacy Volunteers. Banks isn’t scheduled to return to this fall’s Burlington Book Festival, but a recent press release says his slot as Big Name Guest will be filled by poet and Iron John author Robert Bly.

iarity going in.” Next, “I describe the story and characters before we do auditions,” Wright says. “I like kids to almost cast themselves. If they’re playing someone that they’re comfortable with, it makes the story richer for them.” Formal auditions and readthroughs are followed by theater games in which the kids might be asked to reinterpret their character as an old man or a baby, or to identify the stakes in a given scene. “The characters [in classic literature] are so big,” Wright says. “So much to think about.” Like Weiss, Wright is passionate about making the written word accessible. He likes to mix things up: The company has performed The Tempest as a circus and King Lear as a Western. Wright believes that kids who have the Very Merry experience aren’t intimidated when they meet the Bard in high school — “They realize that Shakespeare meant to write for the masses,” he says. With free public performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Jungle Book already behind it, the company is entering the home stretch of its summer season. Still to come is an “original musical version” of Alice in Wonderland, scripted by Wright

While one innovative program devoted to literacy is looking for a place to hang its hat, another one is going strong this summer. Now in its fifth year, the Burlington-based Very Merry Theatre bills itself as “Vermont’s only children’s traveling theater company.” The nonprofit is holding its first-ever “tea party fundraiser” on August 3, in conjunction with one of several performances of a musically enhanced version of Alice in Wonderland. Like the traveling players of yore, who stowed their costumes and props in carts, the young actors of the Very Merry Theatre tour and perform at outdoor venues, such as Battery Park and Shelburne Farms. But the program’s core is education. The company is offering four sold-out camps this summer at the Staige Hill Farm in Charlotte, where kids from 6 to 18 learn the ropes of acting and stagecraft. That’s not all they learn. To handle the company’s classic literary material, which ranges from Shakespeare to Carroll to Kipling’s The Jungle Book, kids have to become good readers as well. “I make sure that the story is at the center; everything else complements that,” says Director Donald Wright, who founded the compa-

THE OTHER TV GUIDE
Morning Sickness
I PHOTOS Matthew Thorsen
’m pretty sick of morning TV. The only thing I’m more sick of is that damn Taylor Hicks Ford commercial. The “American Idol” vet’s spot comes on about every five minutes every day on every channel. I wouldn’t be surprised to pick up the paper one day and read that the military is torturing prisoners at Gitmo by making them watch that thing. Anyway, I’ve begun to get kind of queasy and lightheaded every time I pour a cup of coffee, sit down with the family, and attempt to endure a few minutes of “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” “The Early Show” or any of their evermultiplying cable clones. Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but the programming served at that hour is increasingly likely to prove the most insipid you’ll encounter in a given 24-hour period. With Katie Couric going to “The CBS Evening News,” Charlie Gibson going to “World News Tonight,”
you can’t really fault the guy. Hence “The Today Show”’s long-standing tradition of formatting its first hour for men (news and world affairs) and the rest of the program for women (cooking segments, beauty tips, celebrity interviews, etc.). My problem with the morning shows isn’t that nearly every one of them has been ripping off the “Today” formula for decades. The problem is, this isn’t 1952. American society has evolved, and Weaver’s template is obsolete. Despite the present dearth of TV visionaries, network executives have somehow managed to grasp this, and they’ve made adjustments. Big, dumb adjustments. What broadcasters have done across the board in recent years is bafflingly counterintuitive. Despite the fact that a larger percentage of men now work out of their homes and millions more women rush out to the office in the morning, Weaver’s male-viewer content has
Who needs Walter Cronkite to run your show if all you’re going to offer viewers is a mindless lazy Susan of the same old segments? How do these shows drive me nuts? Let me count the ways. and Star Jones just going, morning television is experiencing the greatest makeover in its nearly 55-year history. New faces will soon greet us as we start our day. New ad campaigns will help us keep track of which personalities will shortly arrive at what shows. Some networks will launch new morning programs. However, one thing seems guaranteed to remain unchanged: Morning television will keep getting dumber. Did you know Sigourney Weaver’s father invented morning TV? Pat Weaver was an NBC executive and visionary (“The Tonight Show” and, by extension, late-night TV were his creations as well). He deduced that the network would do well to provide breadwinners preparing for work and homemakers readying kids for school with broadcasting geared to their specific needs and interests. This was 1952, after all, so
been all but jettisoned, while the sorts of segments once intended for female viewers have come to dominate nearly all morning shows. Where veteran journalists and nononsense anchors once played the role of morning host, we now find ourselves facing a mostly interchangeable collection of bantering Barbie and Ken dolls. Morning-show chairs were once occupied by the likes of Walter Cronkite, Jack Paar, Mike Wallace, Bob Schieffer, Lesley Stahl, Richard Threlkeld and Charles Kuralt. These days you’re lucky if the 25-year-old at the “news desk” can identify Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, much less pronounce his name. Of course, who needs Walter Cronkite to run your show if all you’re going to offer viewers is a mindless lazy Susan of the same old segments? How do these shows drive me nuts? Let me count the ways.

Forget about news beyond the most superficial headlines. And forget about getting even superficial headlines that pertain to most places on planet Earth. Most morning shows today squander most of their airtime, day after day, on the following:
HOLD THE PRESSES: AMERICA IS OVERWEIGHT! The same national obesity statistics are quoted in piece after piece, as if the country just woke up and found out it’s fat. Programmers milk the subject shamelessly. Last week “Today” reported on the latest “trend” in pound shedding: prayer. Right, I’m sure it’s sweeping the nation. Where in the world, I ask, is Matt Lauer’s dignity?
FREE PUBLICITY FOR ANYONE WITH A NEW MOVIE Hello. It’s not an interview. It’s an ad. There are more commercials than ever as it is. I don’t need to watch a 4-minute one in which Harry Smith tries to sell me on seeing Little Man.
LIFESTYLE TIPS FOR THE BRAINDEAD I’m not making this up: Last week “GMA” did, like, its millionth piece on “How to Stay Cool When It’s Hot Out.” Alert the Nobel committee. Turns out it’s a good idea to drink plenty of water and stay out of the sun.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE EAT TOO MUCH So why do all these shows force us to watch so many cooking segments? Last week both “The Early Show” and “Today” did segments on how to cook hamburgers. Millions of people in the world are starving, and this is how morning news shows use their airtime? We don’t need Martha Stewart to show us how to whip up a cheeseburger. How do you think we got so fat in the first place?
ADVICE FROM FINANCIAL WIZARDS Thank God for the money-management experts who’ve become a staple of morning shows, providing valuable tips like these for saving at the supermarket: Don’t make impulse purchases. Do use coupons. And after the break: Why it’s not a good idea to bet your family home on poker night.
NEWS AND COMMENTS One of the most irritating new trends is wasting valuable news-analysis time by reading the results of viewer polls and, even worse, actual viewer emails. “Fox & Friends” even takes calls from opinionated, longwinded viewers. The network’s news bureau has a reporter on the Lebanese border, but we’re listening to insights on the latest crisis from someone named Cliff in Fort Wayne.
HEALTH SCARES Every day these shows dig up a new disease or health danger for you to lose sleep over. Such as: On July 20 “Good Morning America” ran a feature entitled “Can Surgery Make You Catch Fire?” Their expert’s advice was “Choose an experienced doctor.” Oh, so faith healers with flamethrowers aren’t the way to go? Who knew?
MAKEOVER MADNESS I thought the feminist movement had put a stake through the Avon Lady’s heart, but evidently I was misinformed. Programmers apparently believe there’s an audience for endless makeover segments, and even plugs for cosmetic interventions such as “A Face Lift in 30 Minutes or Less,” which aired recently on “Today.”
SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION Once upon a time, celebrities were prone to this. These days, you’re more likely to catch a network in the act. It’s become standard practice to run a truncated “teaser” report on a morning show and then inform titillated viewers that the complete piece can be seen later that evening on a news magazine such as “Dateline” or “Primetime.” That’s not synergy. It’s disguising promos as programming.
FREE PUBLICITY FOR ANYONE WITH A NEW RECORD Again, it’s not a performance. It’s an ad. “Today” came up with the concert series concept years ago and all the competition has copied it. I happened to switch on “GMA” the other day and practically suffered a breakdown. There he was on the outdoor stage, promoting his first post-“Idol” release: Taylor Hicks. I wasn’t about to wait around to see what the commercial break would bring. I had a pretty good idea. m

Oral Report How two Chittenden County dental clinics are filling a need
F
or decades, Paula Sibley would refuse to say “cheese” whenever a camera was pointed in her direction. “I was too embarrassed to smile because of my teeth,” says the 47-year-old Old STORY North Ender. Ultimately, though, the KEVIN J. aches from her decaying teeth forced KELLEY Sibley to seek treatment. She had received no adult dental IMAGES care until 2004, partly because she’s a JORDAN Medicaid recipient, and many dentists SILVERMAN don’t accept such patients. About 70 percent of the state’s 372 dentists do treat at least some federally insured, low-income patients, notes Steve Arthur, head of the Vermont Health Department’s oral health unit. But, he adds, most of these practitioners are unwilling to increase their Medicaid caseload because the cost of treatment significantly exceeds the reimbursements they get from the program. “Someone with Medicaid coverage who’s moving into the state or seeking dental care for the first time will find it tough to get treatment,” Arthur says. Two local facilities — the Community Health Center (CHC) in Burlington and Vermont Dental Care in Winooski — thus play the role of
tooth fairy for Chittenden County residents who might be unable to get dental care anywhere else. Sibley, for example, underwent several extractions and had bridges and dentures installed over the course of multiple visits to CHC, which opened a dental clinic two and a half years ago. “Now I smile all the time,” Sibley says. “And people are always telling me I look so much younger. I feel a lot better about myself, too.” Like thousands of other Vermonters, Sibley was psychologically debilitated and economically impaired by her poor oral health. Maladies of the mouth can be as big an impediment to self-sufficiency — and self-esteem — as chronic diseases affecting other parts of the body can be. In addition, studies have shown that oral infections can limit longevity and impair overall health, says Dr. Kevin Risko, head of CHC’s dentist residency program. Smoking cessation is most often initiated in a dentist’s office, adds Dr. Chuck Seleen, director of Vermont Dental Care. Each initial visit to his clinic includes a blood-pressure test, he notes. Inadequate nutrition is
another common problem afflicting those with extensive tooth decay. “It’s hard to eat many foods if you don’t have teeth,” he says. “And even people with dentures chew at only 15 percent of capacity.” Rotten or missing teeth are emblematic of poverty, observes Alison Calderara, director of development and community relations for
share of the impoverished Vermonters who suffer the effects of foregoing regular dental care. Toothaches are prevalent among kids who never see a dentist, and they often have trouble concentrating in school as a result. That’s why CHC opened a satellite dental clinic that serves Medicaid-covered or uninsured K-8 students attending Burlington public schools.

“We’re used to long timelines in seeing the outcome from preventive medicine,” says Calderara. “It’s rare to have a project that instantly comes back to us as, ‘Wow, this is really making a difference.’” Recent immigrants make up another significant segment of the dental caseload at both the Community Health Center and Vermont Dental Care. Dr. Risko says he treats many Somali Bantus, often with the assistance of an interpreter of Mai Mai — one of the 10 languages spoken by staff members or translators whom CHC can call upon. “The Somalis are very appreciative and also very stoic,” Risko says. “We’re all babies by comparison. Dentistry is nothing compared to what they’ve been through.” Interestingly, the Somalis generally require less remedial care than do native-born Americans, Risko adds. “They don’t have diets high in sugar, so their decay rate isn’t as high
as a typical American’s.” Homeless people in the Burlington area are also now able to access dental services tailored to their needs. CHC has operated the Safe Harbor medical clinic on South Winooski Ave. since 1988; an oral-health component was added a few years ago. The full facility treats 1200 homeless people a year, says Safe Harbor Director Paul Dragon. He defines homelessness as including those staying temporarily with friends or sleeping in shelters, cars or encampments in the Intervale and other open-air hideaways. Being homeless is a condition that feeds upon itself, Dragon says. He cites the case of a Russian immigrant who has been living in the Burlington area for 10 years. The psychologically disabled veteran of the wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya has told outreach workers that at some point a homeless person becomes so >> 28A

Harbor. “Maybe he’s on his way back to the world,” Dragon suggests. Not all the patients at VDC and CHC rely on Medicaid. Many of the centers’ clientele are financially comfortable. At CHC, reports Alison Calderara, 22 percent have private dental insurance. That type of coverage is uncommon, even among those with medical insurance. And a dental policy pays much less for complex procedures than does medical insurance, Seleen notes. Someone with dental coverage may have to meet half the cost of a $1000 bill, he says. And bills of that magnitude are not unusual. “Dentistry is expensive,” Calderara acknowledges. “It’s actually a kind of mini-surgery.” The costs put dental treatment beyond the reach of millions of middleincome Americans. The Community Health Center was able to establish its three dental sites through federal funds obtained with help from Vermont’s congressional delegation. Private donations were also crucial.

been serving Chittenden County residents of diverse economic backgrounds for the past 34 years. As one of 950 federally supported local health centers in the United States — including six in Vermont — the Burlington facility has a primary mission of providing care to “under-served” communities. That includes neighborhoods with a high proportion of low-income residents without health insurance or with no history of having access to a medical provider. In Burlington, the area designated as underserved encompasses all of the Old North End, downtown and parts of the South End. The centers use a sliding-fee scale in billing uninsured patients with incomes up to double the official poverty level. Federally qualified clinics are also fully reimbursed for the cost of services provided to Medicaid recipients. That makes a huge difference in doctors’ and dentists’ willingness or ability to accept low-income patients. Vermont Dental Care’s Seleen notes that his clinic, which specializes in treating children in the state’s Dr. Dynasaur program, receives 50 percent less
response to the dearth of treatment options for low-income Vermonters in need of dental care, Seleen says. The initiative was launched in 1971 as a mobile clinic that visited schools around Vermont. It later operated seven stationary sites throughout the state, but only two — in Winooski and Barre — have survived reductions in outside aid. Vermonters of all income levels who live in rural parts of the state may have trouble finding a local dentist, says Seleen, a University of Vermont graduate who earned a DDS degree from Tufts in 1975. Seleen attributes the shrinking number of dentists in the state to the lack of a dental school in Vermont, as well as to the view of many dentists elsewhere that “this is the boondocks where you can’t earn the same sort of money as in other states.” It’s estimated that half of the dentists who do practice in Vermont are 55 or older. Nationally, too, the ranks of dentists are beginning to thin. One-third of the 152,000 active practitioners in the United >> 30A

States has passed the age-55 signpost, according to the American Dental Association. As his gray hair suggests, Seleen himself has reached that marker. Given the high demand for dentists, it’s not easy to recruit professionals to work with low-income patients. “There’s not much of a financial incentive� to become a staff dentist at the health center, says Risko. Staff dentists at CHC are paid a percentage of what they bill. Calderara says earnings are “competitive� with those of a private practitioner, but she concedes that a dentist at the health center may have to work twice as hard to make the same money as one who works at, say, the Timberlane Dental Group in South Burlington. Fortunately, money isn’t the only motivator. One thing that drew Risko away from four years of private practice in Connecticut and Brattleboro was the opportunity to work with a diverse group of patients. At CHC’s dental clinic, he treats patients ranging in age from 2 to 96. Some other dentists who had practiced privately are likewise attracted to work at the community clinic because they are able to apply their skills to special-needs patients and to carry out advanced procedures, Risko explains. “We treat people in wheelchairs, adults on the autism spectrum, others with mental illnesses and the homeless.� Those dental trainees who elect to join the CHC staff after completing their residency are often driven by goals similar to Risko’s, he suggests: The practice appeals to someone committed to social justice. It can also involve types of treatment not often provided in suburban settings. Because the Burlington health center houses the only dental residency program in all of Vermont, Maine and northern New Hampshire, it attracts many aspiring dentists who want to live in northern New England — at least for a year. Seleen and the two other full-time dentists at the Winooski facility are salaried employees of a nonprofit organization. The highest annual salary is $123,000; the lowest, $88,000, Seleen reports. By contrast, an experienced dentist in private practice in the Burlington area could expect to make $200,000 a year, he estimates. Seleen says his own earnings are sufficient to meet his material needs. “I long ago got wed to the mission of helping low-income kids. I can’t see myself doing anything else.� The practice’s focus on service rather than revenue is evident in his chair-side manner, suggests Kelly Merchant, who calls Seleen “a good allaround and gentle guy.� She comes to VDC with her three young daughters.

Because Burlington’s Community Health Center houses the only dental residency program in all of Vermont, Maine and northern New Hampshire, it attracts many aspiring dentists who want to live in northern New England — at least for a year. is a patient there as well, and so was her grandmother, until her death two years ago. Merchant notes that when her grandmother was living at an assisted-care facility in Burlington, a Vermont Dental Care hygienist regularly cleaned her teeth without charging. Other professionals at Vermont Dental Care share the social ethic articulated by Seleen and Risko. Seleen notes that a periodontist volunteers one day each week to treat children who visit the Winooski practice. In Risko’s view, the dentistry establishment does not do nearly enough to help those unable to pay the full cost of treatment. “I think every dentist should treat Medicaid patients. They’re the ones with the greatest needs,� He declares. But Seleen is sympathetic to dentists in private practice who turn away Medicaid recipients because of the program’s low rate of reimbursement. “They’re not discriminating against the patient but against the fee schedule,� he says. “An office accepting an unlimited number of Medicaid patients will become less and less competitive. They won’t be able to pay well enough to retain a highly skilled staff.� Many of the private dentists who do treat a large number of low-income people are reluctant to let that commitment become widely known, Seleen says. He says they worry that middleincome individuals will stop coming to a practice that is perceived as geared to the poor.
His clinic, situated on the top floor of the Champlain Mill, looks like any other large private practice. Modular gray dividers surround the nine treatment chairs serviced by three dentists and a half-dozen other clinicians. One recent afternoon, the waiting room is filled mainly with children, but there is no indication that 60 percent of the facility’s patients receive Medicaid assistance. The site where the practice was previously housed had “an austere, almost semi-professional look,� recalls Seleen, who has worked at Vermont Dental Care for 30 years. “We decided we needed a more upscale image to attract middle-income patients. We don’t want to be seen as a low-income clinic, and most of our patients don’t know that we are.� If Vermont Dental Care did not appear inviting to those able to pay the full cost of services, it wouldn’t be able to achieve its mission of helping large numbers of poor children, Seleen explains. The facility engages in the practice of cost shifting, which is standard throughout the health-care industry. Under this approach, better-off medical consumers indirectly subsidize the treatment of Medicaid-covered or uninsured patients who qualify for the sliding-fee scale. A few financially secure individuals choose to be treated at Vermont Dental Care precisely because it’s responsive to their poorer neighbors, Seleen notes. Among these socially conscious patients is Meg Pond, a housing development specialist who has
been coming to the clinic since the late 1970s. “For me, it’s a philosophical choice,� Pond says. “I think it’s important that health care gets delivered not only to people with insurance and with money.� The quality of care at Seleen’s clinic is “excellent,� she adds. Pond took her two daughters there when they were children, and one of them still goes, along with her own young daughter. Even so, Vermont Dental Care struggles to remain solvent, Seleen notes. The practice recently concluded a $350,000 fundraising drive to finance a planned move from the Champlain Mill to a new family health center on Malletts Bay Avenue. in Winooski. The campaign raised $125,000, with the balance made up in the form of a low-interest loan, Seleen says. The move was prompted by the redevelopment of downtown Winooski. Months of construction made the office virtually inaccessible to many patients, and some still find it inconvenient now that they must pay to park in an underground garage 100 yards from the mill. Paula Sibley faces no such difficulties when she visits CHC’s clinic just down the road in Burlington. “I live practically next door,� she points out. And she’s a proud and grateful neighbor. “There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for the people there after all they’ve done for me. I don’t have much money, but if I were ever to come into some, I’d give it all to the Community Health Center. I owe them a lot.� m

<GARDENS>
Greenbelt Green Thumbs A year after an effort to restrict them, curbside gardens are still abloom in Burlington
here aren’t many summer vegetable stands in Burlington, but the city’s neighborhoods boast a variety of roadside produce. Corn, cucumbers and tomatoes have sprouted in the city’s greenbelts — those narrow slivers of dirt between STORY sidewalk and street — as have clusters of boisCATHY terously blooming flowers. RESMER Last summer, the city attempted to restrict greenbelt gardening. Concerned about motorists’ IMAGES visibility — and the gardens’ potentially damagMYESHA ing effect on nearby trees — the Parks and GOSSELIN Recreation Department backed a City Council resolution that would have placed limits on what and where residents could plant. But public outcry prompted councilors to reject the proposal.
T
1 Corner of So. Champlain and King Streets Dave Roberts tends two greenbelt gardens. He inherited one in front of his apartment on King Street when he moved in four years ago, and he started a much larger plot around the corner on South Champlain Street last spring. Early one weekday morning, Roberts, a Friendly’s waiter, is deadheading day lilies on King Street, plucking blossoms gone by, before rounding the corner to harvest some cucumbers growing beside the mailbox. Roberts’ South Champlain garden is flourishing. Vibrant marigolds, blackeyed Susans and squat sunflowers bloom in a weedless patch of dirt below a stop sign. A line of brilliant gladiolas arches into the street. Roberts also cultivates scallions, eggplants and basil. “I love pesto,” he explains. Roberts would like to have a community garden in the Intervale, but he doesn’t have a car. Nor does he have space for backyard beds. “This is the only place where I can garden,” he says. But planting in a public space can be risky; a neighbor wiped out some of Roberts’ hard work by parking his car on part of his garden last month. “When you’re planting in the greenbelt, something’s going to happen,” he says, “and you have to deal with it.”
2 Decatur Street DAVE ROBERTS’ GARDEN ON SO. CHAMPLAIN ST.
Jim Flint, executive director of Friends of Burlington Gardens, was relieved when the measure failed. He estimates that some 200 landscaped greenbelts are scattered about town, many of them in the city’s Old North End. “Greenbelt gardens are a real viable form of creative expression,” he explains. “They empower people to be able to brighten their neighborhoods.” But Flint has some suggestions for would-be greenbelt gardeners. For starters, no matter how appetizing it may look, don’t grow anything you plan to eat; street-side soil may contain toxins. “Unless you’re on a very, very quiet side street,” he says, “that’s not something that we would recommend.” And steer clear of certain flowers. “I don’t encourage people to plant sunflowers in the greenbelt,” he cautions. They grow too tall, impeding visibility, and extracting their extensive root system in the fall can damage the topsoil, Flint says. “I would encourage people to plant drought-resistant plants that have a long flowering period,” he advises. And he reminds gardeners to maintain their plots. “It’s city property,” Flint says, “and I think people need to respect that.” Bob Whalen, superintendent for park planning and development for the Burlington Parks and Rec Department, reports that his office has received zero complaints about the gardens this year, compared to about three dozen last summer. This season’s heavy rains have contributed to a new problem, though — fast-growing greenbelt lawns. “I think the issue we’ve found this year,” notes Whalen, “is that some of them aren’t getting mowed.” Seven Days recently asked several urban gardeners, “Why the greenbelt?”
Hilary Martin is a full-time farmer at Digger’s Mirth in Burlington’s Intervale, but she still helps her four housemates tend their greenbelt garden — or the “sidewalk garden,” as Martin calls it. “I like having a garden wherever we can have gardens,” she says. The residents of the two-story purple house grow a scraggly patch of sunflowers, bee balm and lilies, surrounded by a knee-high white picket fence. For the most part, Martin says, the comments she’s heard from neighbors are positive. William Leonard, smoking a cigarette on his porch across the street, confirms that assessment. “It’s not a very good neighborhood, know what I’m saying?” he observes. Leonard notes that several of his neighbors grow flowers in their greenbelts. “I like ’em,” he says. “I think they’re pretty. It brightens it up.”
3 Lakeview Terrace There’s not much to Alyx Lyons’ curbside garden — just some day lilies, a flowering lavender Echinacea next to a wooden utility pole, and Siberian irises that have already gone by. But when the lilies are blooming, as they are now, they make the off-lake side of the street a little spiffier. Lyons says she started transplanting the lilies from the sides and back of her house years ago. “The grass doesn’t grow very well there,” she says of the greenbelt. “It’s really sandy.” Besides, she adds, “The more flowers, the better.”
4 Charles and Russell Streets It’s hard to tell there’s even a greenbelt at the elbow where Charles and Russell Streets meet; the sidewalk is almost completely obscured by Charley McClintock’s garden. The dense mass of trees, shrubs and leafy stalks creates its own micro-ecosystem. “It’s a jungle,” McClintock marvels. The Burlington mail carrier began cultivating the long, narrow strip in front of his house when he bought the property in 1989. Initially, he wanted to create a buffer between his house and the trickle of oncoming traffic from Charles Street. And he didn’t want to cut grass. But he says he’s since realized other benefits. The shade canopy created by trees such as his 20-foot-tall staghorn sumac lowers the temperature and blocks the summer sun. And run-off from the raised bed filled with smoke bush, hollyhock mallow and sunbeam coreopsis attracts earthworms, which McClintock scoops from the curbside gutters back into his garden. He says that passersby often comment on the garden and seem to enjoy it, especially when he runs the fountain in his side yard that creates early morning rainbows in the leafy roadside tunnel. “I think that people who like the garden walk this way on purpose,” he says. McClintock advises fellow greenbelt gardeners to use lots of compost, keep the sidewalk clear, and remember that the snowplows come each winter. “They really can make a mess,” he warns. But McClintock insists the effort he puts into his garden is worth it. “I believe in trees,” he says. “I’m part pagan, and I believe in the grove as a site of paradise.”
5 Spring Street When Jean Wolfe moved into her apartment six years ago, the scrubby swatch of grass by the road made her sad. “It just looked very blah,” says the baker, who works for Sodhexo at St. Michael’s College. “It looked so deserted and abandoned.” She pulls out an album and shows a picture to prove it. The snapshot bears little resemblance to the colorful garden at her feet. Wolfe now grows deer tick, yarrow, black-eyed Susans and bright purple bachelor’s buttons. Her 16month-old grandson smells the flowers as she points them out. Wolfe is particularly proud of a new Morello cherry lupine she just planted. “People are very impressed with the colors,” she boasts. “I’ve been getting compliments left and right.” Some of her neighbors have been so pleased with the flowers that they’ve been picking some for themselves. Wolfe has planted a small handwritten sign among the blossoms. “Please do not pick flowers,” it reads. “Watch them grow.”
6 Pitkin Street Jules Fischelman grows cherry tomatoes in a sculpted pile of soil on the greenbelt in front of his house. His mother made the hand-painted “Pitkin Street Garden” sign planted next to them. But Fischelman, a past president of Friends of Burlington Gardens, says he’s growing more than just food — he’s also cultivating community. “I really believe strongly that gardening is a great way to bring people together,” he declares. Fischelman remembers a day earlier this summer when a neighbor he barely knew spotted him toiling in the soil. “He saw me out there and offered some materials,” says the IT manager for Vermont Energy Investment Corporation. “It was a little bonding moment.” Fischelman gleaned his gardening knowledge from summers spent toiling in his Intervale garden plot, and uses it on his expansive backyard and side yard flower, herb and vegetable beds. “Having a greenbelt garden allows me to share some of what I learned,” he explains. And he means that literally. Often people walk by and pick the tomatoes in his greenbelt. Fischelman doesn’t mind. He says, “Knowing that happens makes me really happy.”

7 Maple Street This is the first year Lori Lewis has tried gardening in her greenbelt, and so far it’s going well, she says. A handful of cornstalks towers 8 feet above the curb in front of the rainbow-colored doorway to Lewis’ house. The greenery closer to the ground conceals a chile relleno, some tomatoes and a couple of yellow pumpkins. “We’ve got a nice one right in here,” says Lewis, parting the prickly leaves with her hands. The garden was actually Lewis’ son Gabo’s idea. He and his younger brother Zani wanted to grow pumpkins. They’d planted some in their shady backyard in years past, but none grew. The greedy gourds seem to prefer the southern exposure out front. When Lewis first planted the garden, someone pulled up the thin, white metal separators that line its borders and threw them in the street. So far, that’s been the only incidence of vandalism. “Since then, everybody has been so respectful of my garden,” says Lewis. “It’s been wonderful.” Though corn as high as an elephant’s eye might bother some city officials, Lewis points out that she planted it several feet from the nearest driveway. She claims the vans that park at the foot of her drive pose more danger to drivers than her crops. “I don’t know why more people don’t grow gardens in front of their houses,” she muses. “It beats mowing.” m

Stepping out to watch professional tango in the Green Mountains
M STORY
MEGHAN DEWALD
ention tango and a visual clichÊ comes to mind: a man and a woman, cheek-tocheek, one pair of outstretched arms forming a prow that points their straightas-an-arrow progress across the ballroom floor. In this campy version of the dance popularized by 1920s film heartthrob Rudolph Valentino, the man clenches a rose between his teeth, and, when they change direction, the woman slaps his face. But that’s a fantastic scenario never followed by real aficionados of the form.

sion is nothing less than “to turn Stowe into the tango capital of North America.� Are they there yet? Not quite. The U.S. Tango Championship scheduled to be held at the Rusty Nail on July 22 was cancelled; competition requires a minimum of 20 couples, and only 12 signed up. Instead, pro demos and a live-music milonga — a party and practice dance for amateurs — occupied attending tangueras and tangueros on a drizzly Saturday night. Barre resident Karen Heath, Vermont’s
Beverly Durand, in a dramatic backless dress with peek-a-boo cut-outs in front, wore only one shoe — the other swung from her finger. The teasing tango that followed was almost too hot to watch. Argentina’s national dance is somewhat different, and comes in more varieties than Ben & Jerry’s has flavors. For the past two years, the Stowe Tangofest has brought a taste of Buenos Aires to northern Vermont. Professional dancers and musicians flown in for a weekend of concerts, floor shows, workshops and dance parties are meant to pique locals’ curiosity, interest big-city instructors from New York, Boston and MontrÊal, and raise the town’s tango cred. According to the festival website, its mis-

undone and his tux jacket off, and he gripped a bottle of wine. His partner, Beverly Durand, in a dramatic backless dress with peek-a-boo cutouts in front, wore only one shoe — the other swung from her finger. A teasing tango followed, with lots of acrobatic flourishes and floor work that included Durand being dragged dramatically. At one point Cervila’s cumberbund ended up on the floor. It was almost too hot to watch. Four smoldering numbers followed, with more suggestively aggressive eye contact than smiles. Although the dance’s origins are obscure, African slaves who arrived in Argentina in the mid-1800s used the word “tango” to refer to a gathering place reserved for dancing. The dance as we know it dates from about 1880 and has roots in Buenos Aires’ brothels — which helps to explain partners’ alternating attitudes of tenderness and violence. In one amazing finish Saturday night, Claudio Villagra cradled Guillermina Quiroga in his arms, then twirled her horizontally above his head, paused with the music, and seemingly dropped her in time to the accompaniment’s final chord, her arms unfurling until she was inches from the floor. One couple did, indeed, incorporate a mock face-slap, the woman reaching up to buffet her partner’s face as she spun away into a turn. Corseted in red and black, she slowly leaned her breastbone on her partner’s chest, and the next instant they were off, twirling their legs in an intricate grapevine.
weight forge intimacy, in a stylized game of “gotcha.” Natalia Hills once performed for Princess Di and, like many of tonight’s performers, has toured the world in high-caliber shows. At the Nail, she and partner Francisco Forquera kicked in between each other’s legs during blindingly fast turns, eliciting loud claps. It was amazing they didn’t touch each other, and that the move seemed so graceful, almost like swimming. On the most basic level, it’s true that it takes two to tango, but that equation discounts the musicians. The dance’s so-called “Golden Age” ran from 1935 to 1952, corresponding roughly to the heyday of Big Band music in the U.S., and live dance orchestras are still a major draw at milongas. Some of the pro dancers at Stowe chose canned music for their choreography, but alternating couples stepped to live numbers by the Eternal Tango Quintet, a New York-based outfit fronted by bandoneón wizard Hector Del Curto. A Buenos Aires native who won accolades at age 17 for his prowess on the accordion-like instrument, Del Curto has performed with genre master and composer Astor Piazzolla. In Stowe, Del Curto led a group that included a pianist, a bassist, a cellist and special guest violinist Nick Danielson, who’s also a member of the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Similar to the dance, tango music is amazingly flexible. Solos pass from player to player, the tempo speeds up and slows down, and the overall sound

alternates between soft and harsh; controlled chaos and fluid chords give way to percussive staccato passages that sound like the foot stomps which pop unexpectedly from the dancers’ feet. The demonstration ended with one last, intricate dance in which all six Argentinean couples took the floor simultaneously. Following their group bow, the U.S. Tango Championship finals had been scheduled to take place. With that event shelved, the quintet revved up for a milonga instead. For the next five or six songs, upwards of 10 amateur-to-intermediate duos kicked up their heels tango-style, albeit in a more reserved form than the stage dancers. It was amazing to watch the couples who knew what they were doing — one hip-swiveling pair smiled and grinned at each other, moving effortlessly around the floor while exchanging wordless jokes via body language alone. Burlington residents Bon Provenzano and Eline Gonzalez were among the whirling twosomes. Asked later if they’d planned to try out for the national championship, Provenzano demurred, saying they’re not at that level — yet. “I’ve been studying tango for four years, and Eline for a year and a half,” he explained. “We go to a weekly practice session.” As the band packed up, the pair paid their respects to Del Curto, whom they’d seen play live five times. Burlington’s DJ Hector Cobeo put on some Latin beats, and the mass of folks dancing to merengue became a blend of poised ballroom dancers and enthusiastic booty shakers. An elderly gent who’d been waiting on the sidelines stepped out in a nearly all-black outfit, complete with a flat-brimmed black hat and a white tie, gung-ho to cut a rug. Before the evening ended, bandoneón player Tito Castro and guitarist Pancho Navarro took the stage once more, giving milonga-goers a last chance to tango. Provenzano and Gonzalez, who’d sat out the salsa CDs, got up to dance again. m

South of town, twisters kick up red dust and bring it in — it settles on everything: on cash crop pecans and measly greasewood; on sharecropper shacks in the shadow of Wal-Mart; on migrant tents beside the fauxSpanish villas; on crude oil pumps; on all of us. Powdered like this, we look prematurely wise. Shepard can accordion his lines into poetry whenever he wants, but just as happily keeps things to “free verse’s egalitarian.” Robert Lowell is his hero for being able to do both equally well. Shepard’s other literary lions, from Jack Kerouac to Gerald Stern, wind up as characters in a few of these poems — the former as a wine-drunk hobo, the latter a kind of poetic weight lifter: “a man with words bursting from his chest.” But the influence overshadowing all is Hayden Carruth, whose marbled particu-

“The Source” Snow deep in north pasture, more On the way. How odd to read Her letters, where light lies Easy on Polynesian waves. She’s There on the quay or under the shade Of mango and palm, draped in a red Pareu, listening to the liquid Sounds of their vowels. Here, a month of zero Mercury and words chuffed In little clouds drifting off To who knows where. My brain’s split between hemispheres. Was there ever a year she desired This house and pasture? Don’t lie. Of course, of course— And yet—just yesterday I broke through snowcrust On a downward-sloping field, Broke through to a deep-running Spring we’d discovered years ago When we built here. That gusher Down in the foundation—we were Astonished at the water’s force. Half-feared it would obliterate Concrete, and half-desired it— Our house balanced on a spume, A great spinning, shining ride In the revolving years Of early love. It almost washed The backhoe clean as it struck The source. Later, the force Lessened to a stream Manageable and constant. We diverted it with a simple Lead pipe out to the field And forgot about it. Until now, until I broke through. Snow falling on my blue parka, Blue gloves, blue hat. I know Where this stream ends— Where all the springs drain— Down at the bottom of the pasture Where birches bend under all this White weight, and swamp begins. And nothing but willows grow In the boggy hummocks, iced up now, Their roots lifted up As if trying to take a first, slow step Out of the rime and ooze. And every living Thing falls down into the watery spaces They’ve abandoned.
lars and grinding downward momentum echo through Shepard’s poems like a literary homage, a fore-fatherly channeling.

(There is even a poem about Carruth’s writing shack). Like Carruth in his early days, Shepard elides rather than illuminates when it comes to the personal. His embrace of the natural world’s ancient language occasionally renders him a stranger in his own life. In “The Secret Lives of Birds,� his father’s deteriorating memories as he enters old age are detritus for the birds. What is the meaning of memory this far from the source? It’s summer, always summer in father’s Maine coast films. Unlike today’s stark shots: father, midwinter, coast of Florida, sound asleep among the snowbirds, seagulls circling overhead, seagulls circling down, seagulls perching near the chaise, scavenging whatever we’ve left them. It is refreshing to come across a poet who peers into the reflecting pool and sees the ripples rather than his own image. “My past was / never a high tower,� he explains in “Weed Whacker.� “I’m pre-Copernican,� he yodels in another, referring to the astronomer who put the sun at the center of the universe. “The sun’s / desertion is in my way / of seeing.� Like most poets, Shepard is better at feeling than at thinking. At times, one
It is refreshing to come across a poet who peers into the reflecting pool and sees the ripples, rather than his own image. wishes he would expound less and embody more. When he latches on to an idea, rather than a thing, his phrasing goes goopy and almost new-age. I don’t want to visit the “the place of pre-delight� with him, or gaze at “the high cliffs of death.� I’d also rather not hear about how he’s been “inhaling flowers like there’s no / tomorrow.� At his best, Shepard sees through ideas into the truth behind them. This means that most of his best poems are almost naturalistic, like the exquisite, bog-ridden “The Source.� But there are also some terrific poems about the language of memory. “I’m from Leominster, Couldn’t be Prouder, Can’t Hear Me Now, I’ll Yell a Little Louder� recalls a long-ago high school cheer, how it was performed “In megaphones, in union, the fans / chanting with the cheerleaders, building, building / the round vowels — prouder, louder — and the /two-line rhyme itself until its pitch / raised the rafters.� This is about all we can expect language to do, Shepard seems to be saying: to raise high the roof beams so we can get an eyeball at the world around us. Like a carpenter, Shepard sidles forth in these poems with his pencil and ruler, diagramming “the underside� of sentences that nature has made, all the while aspiring — and sometimes succeeding — to make some as beautiful himself. m

In fairy tales, a mother’s death ushers in the evil stepmother, revealing that Dad by himself isn’t an adequate bastion against the heartless STORY MARGOT world.

Savvy readers know that the ocean, which terrifies Lise, represents that threat of oblivion, and they also know that by the last chapter Lise will have faced her fears. Her new friend, an aged Abenaki beach dweller named Ben, tells her that sand dollars that “go with the flow� are the ones that arrive safe and intact on the beach, giving the book’s title a pat resonance. Meanwhile, Lise’s mom reconnects with her old high school flame, now a doctor, and Lise learns — surprise! — that father figures aren’t so useless after all. All of this is predictable, but it’s pleasant nonetheless. Jones doesn’t condescend to her characters or her readers, and she doesn’t soft-peddle issues such as why Lise’s dad left. The book doesn’t treat single parenthood as a problem to be fixed but as a circumstance with both upsides

And the winner is... and downsides. It’s clear that Lise’s mother’s dogmatic independence is shaping her daughter into a strong, smart woman — but also into one who finds it difficult to admit weakness or accept help. By the end, the family has mellowed and learned to accept the kindness of outsiders, and it’s a subtle, plausible transformation.

These books suggest that, for a daughter, the real catastrophe is an absent or malfunctioning mom. cliché — the ethereal child prodigy who may be autistic or just “special”; the wise old Native American; the hair-raising climax set during a hurricane. In general, though, it’s a restrained, elegantly written, true-to-life tale — which means your average kid may be more likely to choose it for a book report than for beach reading. And she’ll be glad she did. Kat’s Promise, by Plattsburgh author Bonnie Shimko, is told in a more dramatic vein. The first sentence starts things off with a bang: “Before I go to sleep at night in my aunt Paulina’s house, I wish that God would strike her dead,” the narrator opines. What exactly did Aunt Paulina do to earn 12-year-old Kat’s murderous hatred? To start with, she’s guilty of trying to replace Kat’s beloved, recently dead mother, in evil-stepmother fashion. But that’s not all: It was Paulina, rich and vain, who “refused to part with a penny to pay the doctor and the hospital when Mama first discovered the lump in her breast.” Since hospitals apparently aren’t willing to extend charity to indigent patients in this novel’s universe, Kat’s mother dies, of a treatable cancer, in Kat’s arms. It’s all part of Aunt Paulina’s “revenge” on her sister for stealing her handsome fiancé — Kat’s father — from under her nose. Transported to Aunt Paulina’s mansion in a fictitious Vermont town, “poor orphan girl” Kat lives like a child out of Dickens, put upon but proud. When she refuses to play at being spinster Paulina’s daughter, she’s subjected to a pixie haircut and made to eat her supper with Nettie, the housekeeper, who’s as poorly treated as she is. Naturally, meek, wan Nettie holds the key to a secret about Kat’s past. Meanwhile, Kat befriends some colorful locals, including the autistic teenager next door. If this plot set-up sounds as old as the hills — minus the autistic kid — it is. The gothic formulas that worked for 18th-century best-selling author Ann Radcliffe still work today. The mothers of girls reading Kat’s Promise are more likely to be reminded of V.C. Andrews, the notorious author of Flowers in the Attic, which was favorite beach reading of teens in the 1980s. Andrews — and the ghost
seem quite at home in a modern setting.) Andrews, with her lurid sex scenes, was hardly parent- or teacher-approved reading. Kat’s Promise is more subdued as well as more substantial in terms of writing and characterization. When she’s not bemoaning her losses or her idealized mother, Kat has a pleasantly tart voice. Shimko conveys her take on the world in supple, unflowery language, as when Kat describes the popular girls in school “looking me up and down as if they’re checking for lice” and wondering “how they can whittle me down to a splinter with a few sugary questions like how come I don’t have name-brand clothes and fashionable shoes?” Kat’s friend Beamer, a devout Catholic from a working-class family who acquires a precocious rep as the town “fast girl,” is also well drawn. Comparing herself with her friend, Kat grasps the value of the gift her mother gave her by teaching her to respect herself: “When you are raised by a mother like mine, you know down deep in your soul that you are worth something.” Ultimately, though, the novel is limited by the rigidity of its own archetypes, which make it difficult for the characters to develop much beyond categories like “heroine” and “villainess.” Instead of focusing on fleshing out the characters she has, Shimko throws in new villains and new perils for Kat to face. “I get edgy when things don’t stay in the right box,” Kat says, referring to the glimmers of humanity she sees in Aunt Paulina. It’s a natural attitude and an astute observation for a preteen, but one only wishes the author didn’t seem to feel the same way. We’ve heard a lot about the tragedy of fatherless families — particularly fatherless sons — in recent years. But these books suggest that, for a daughter, the real catastrophe is an absent or malfunctioning mom. Fathers are presented as irrelevant at best — Lise’s is absent, and Kat’s father was an abusive drunk whose death she can’t bring herself to mourn. The protagonists unabashedly embrace idealized notions of their mothers as superwoman or suffering angel. When one parent’s loss is virtually taken for granted, it puts a new spin on the age-old orphan theme. m

Re-Powered Trio Music preview: Seth Yacovone Band reunion
I STORY
CASEY REA Seth Yacovone Band reunion at Multiplicity Festival, Alburg, July 28 & 29. $20 Friday & Saturday; $10 Saturday only.
t’s said that breaking up is hard to do. Well, getting back together isn’t always a stroll through the park, either. That is, unless you’re a member of the Seth Yacovone Band, a defunct Vermont trio that will reform for two performances at Alburg’s Multiplicity Festival this weekend. Some musicians require therapy — or at least a huge wad of cash — before joining ex-bandmates on stage. But there’s no life coach or moneybags promoter behind this reunion; it’s a band decision all the way. Guitarist/vocalist Yacovone convened the group at the tender age of 16. Before long, he was wowing audiences with his six-string wail and rugged vocals. Backed by bassist Tommy Coggio and drummer Steve Hadeka, Yacovone freely mixed genres, combining earnest blues-rock with exploratory funk and soul. The trio’s sound endeared them to regional music fans looking for the next jam phenomenon. They released five CDs, culminating with the live album In a Moment in 2003. SYB split the following year, stunning longtime fans. The band had recently celebrated its 1000th gig and had plenty more lined up. The reasons for the breakup remain vague, but burnout is among the chief suspects. After nearly a decade together, members had developed a powerful musical chemistry. But constant roadwork is hard on working relationships, to say nothing of friendships. As the demand grew, so, undoubtedly, did the stresses. The Multiplicity Festival will give SYB supporters another opportunity to witness the band in action, this time in an idyllic North Country setting. If that’s not tempting enough, there’s also a Jell-O wrestling contest. Yacovone, now 26, remains one of the area’s most engaging performers. Seven Days recently chatted with the down-to-earth songwriter about the SYB reunion. SEVEN DAYS: How did the idea to reform come about? SETH YACOVONE: I was with Tommy at a birthday party for a friend. We started talking about how we should play a show this summer for the people who loved and supported our band for the nine years we were together. Standing next to us was Steve Henry, the lead singer of The Yo Yo Nipples. He’s the guy who puts on Multiplicity. It’s a beautiful outdoor field location with a stage and everything. So I asked him if we could throw a party on the land, and he said, “Why don’t you just headline Multiplicity?” SD: Do you think a reunion was inevitable? SY: I always figured that Tommy, Steve and I would play again at some point, and it seemed like a good idea to do it soon, before we totally forgot all the material. After Tommy and I agreed on it, we contacted Steve. Now we’re all raring to go. SD: Is it just the Alburg dates? SY: July 28th and 29th will be the
TOMMY COGGIO, STEVE HADEKA, SETH YACOVONE
only two Seth Yacovone Band shows of 2006. SD: Have you had any rehearsals yet? SY: We’ve had one so far. It was an amazing exercise in muscle memory. We realized just how much this music is a part of us from playing it so much. We’re going to be doing some hardcore woodshedding in the days leading up to the gigs. That will allow us to wing it more freely while not losing structure. Hopefully. SD: What made SYB such a fan favorite for all those years? SY: Enthusiasm is contagious. In our prime, we loved playing and the band was the most important thing in our lives. I think people could feel that. We were very fortunate to make music that was enjoyed without compromising where we were coming from. SD: Is there anything you miss about jamming with these guys on a regular basis? SY: There are tons of things I miss about playing with Tommy and Steve. But we reached a point where we couldn’t go on doing what we were doing and keep our sanity, joy and happiness. SD: You’ve been doing a lot of solo work lately. Is it more liberating than being in a band? SY: It is more freeing. I can make tons of mistakes and no one else gets lost. And not having to take care of the business aspect and making sure the musicians are happy makes things less stressful. I can also sing more expressively when I’m not playing loud rock ’n’ roll. But I miss the give and take and outside inspiration that
comes from playing with others. That’s a big reason why SYB is playing together this summer, and why I plan on doing more Seth Yacovone & the Visitors shows in the fall. You just don’t get the heart-pounding, sweaty energy release without the volume, drums and girls dancing. SD: You started SYB as a teenager. What have you learned since then? SY: I could write a book on that ques-
respond, I know it’s worth it if even one listener receives something. SD: The lifestyle can be trying. Do you ever wish you’d gone to med school instead of working the clubs? SY: Trust me, you get to know plenty about medicine working the clubs. You just don’t get the degree. I sometimes wish I had more education and any desire to hold a stable, responsible, “normal” job. But I really didn’t
My heart and soul led me where they wanted, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Making music is the only thing that makes me feel like I’m in the right place in this world. SETH YACOVONE tion alone. I was fortunate to learn on the job since I started so young. The main thing I’ve learned musically is that it truly is possible to let out what is inside of you through music and have it reach out and touch what is inside of others. Music is basically a series of math equations involving time and space, with endless variations that tap into the listener’s emotions. And they respond in ways that are unique to each individual. It’s my favorite way of communicating; it’s more pure and less of a compromise than speaking. I felt this instinctively the first time I was touched by music. After 10 years of performing and seeing people
have much choice in the matter. My heart and soul led me where they wanted, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Making music is the only thing that makes me feel like I’m in the right place in this world. SD: Do you have any words of wisdom for today’s teenage musicians? SY: Believe in the music that feels good to you, steal from all the greats, and let go of fear. If you want to do this for a living, be prepared for ups, downs, lies, truths and having to deal with everything that doesn’t have anything to do with music. But always remember to love, cherish and enjoy it. m

Rock bands don’t get much weirder than Vermont’s
Activists/Dictators, whose
herky-jerky tunes and scathing humor make for a memorable show. Co-fronted by scene heavyweights David Kamm and Tom Lawson, the quartet rages against a machine of their own whacked-out invention. Don’t miss them in “Revue Nu(e),” an eclectic free-for-all taking place this Thursday at Club Metronome. Also on the bill: Cccome?, Captain Clio, Electric Halo and Eagle Ager, an NYC electronic collective featuring life-size puppets.

GOOD VIBRATIONS
ROCK THE BOAT
This weekend, the Mad River Valley will groove to the sounds of authentic, feel-good reggae. The Rise Up Vermont Roots & Culture festival comes to Waitsfield’s Bundy Center for the Arts on Saturday, July 29. The outdoor, family-friendly event features some of the most revered acts in contemporary island music, as well as activities and all-natural food and clothing vendors. Virgin Islanders Bambu Station, Lady Passion, Iba and Sistah Joyce are just some of the acts on the bill. Visit www.RiseUpVt.com for a full list of performers. In addition to the music, the Bread and Puppet Theater and Cardboard Tech Institute will be on hand to entertain
Enterprising local musicians Dale Donaldson and Graham Keegan have put together a Queen City-based music production company called Tick Tick. The two intend to “take advantage of Burlington’s location between cities such as Boston, New York and Montréal to organize, facilitate and promote dynamic performances by local and traveling musical acts.” Who doesn’t like a little facilitation? First on the agenda is a concert Friday, July 28. Called Flotilla, the show features performances by locals Anna Pardenik, Swale, Mr. Island of Nose Bleed Island, as well as Montréal’s Abigail Lapell. The music is pretty varied, but that’s not so unusual, right? Well, check this: The gig takes place on a boat bedecked with lanterns. Attending the free performance might require a little more forethought than your average show. First of all, you’ll need to find a seaworthy vessel. Organizers are planning to launch from Perkins Pier at the Waterfront; they encourage attendees to “bring a boat and life jackets.” What next? An underwater concert might be fun, if you can get around the breathing thing. Check out www.MySpace.com/TickTicks for more info on Flotilla.
LADY PASSION
Girl!, Tulsa, The Red Thread and From the Ground Up. A few of the acts hail from San Francisco. I didn’t see many punks when I was there last month. Maybe they were hiding in the fog. Trainwreck Riders serve up roughneck music with an Americana twang. Mainstays of the Bay Area scene, the band regularly plays impromptu shows on rooftops, garages and even city sidewalks. You can hear some samples of their high-octane sound at www.TrainWreckriders.com. Hey Girl! are an all-female band that plays a poppy, sloppy kind of punk. With song titles such as “Teenage Retard” and “Peter Pansexual,” you know what you’re in for: irreverent, brash tunes that are typically under 3 minutes. Check ’em out at www.MySpace.com/HeyGirlBand. Revved-up jangle is the name of the game for Tulsa, whose spirited tunes recall fun-loving punks The Minutemen and Dead Milkmen. It’s nice to hear kids playing loud rock that isn’t emo-influenced. They too are socially networked: Head to TRAINWRECK RIDERS
BROADCAST NEWS
and enlighten. According to the press release, there will be a tent on-site for parents “wishing to have some mellow space for sleeping children.” When it’s time for everyone to crash, camping will be available at the Vermont National Forest in nearby Granville. The mellow fun is for a good cause: One quarter of the profits from Rise Up will go to the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, which offers a wide range of services to people fleeing turmoil in their home countries. So get irie, and help others while you’re at it. The show kicks off at noon and wraps up at midnight. Admission is $42.75, with kids under 12 free. Tickets can be purchased online at www.FlynnCenter.org.
MTV’s gay and lesbian network, Logo, recently aired the music video for local singer-songwriter Gregory Douglass’ “I Wanted to Run.” I recently discovered the channel while flipping through stations and, though I’m not gay myself, I certainly like to watch. It’s cool that MTV is behind such a progressive station; there’s only so much “Laguna Beach” a body can handle. And they play videos, which at this point is pretty revolutionary. “It was really exciting,” Douglass recently told me. “I knew that it was going to happen, but not when. We were watching, and all of a sudden there it was!” The vid appeared on “NewNowNext,” a weekly music program airing Sundays at midnight. It’ll be repeated, well, a lot. “They run it all week long,” Douglass explains. “Logo shows music videos as often as commercials.” Gotta like those odds. I didn’t catch Douglass’ clip on TV, but I did see it at www.GregoryDouglass.com. The video — shot by Pensylvaniabased Haverstick Films — is extremely professional, with multiple locations and a hip subject: Douglass himself. Congrats!
www.MySpace.com/Tulsa for a listen. Not all the acts on the bill are from the Bay Area — The Red Thread call Boston home. Interestingly, there’s a group with the same name based in Oakland, California, but they’re a hell of a lot more subdued. There’s a really noisy live clip of the Beantown version on YouTube.com. The URL is too long to type here, so you’ll have to do your own search. The concert also marks the homecoming of Burlington hardcore heroes From the Ground Up, who return from a tour that took them all the way to Indiana. Swing by and give ’em a punk-rawk welcome. m

BREATHING FIRE :: The UK-based DragonForce play “power metal,� a genre characterized by neo-classical shredding and fantasy-fueled lyrics. At first listen, the band sounds completely over the top, with hyperactive guitars running alongside double-time drums and soaring vocals. But their passion for melodic metal is hardly a joke, and heavy-music fans are starting to catch on. They’ll invade the Higher Ground Ballroom on Wednesday, August 2, with PETA-approved headbangers Between the Buried & Me and locals Tin Bitch.

reviewthis RICK DAVIES, SIEMPRE SALSA
PATRICK FITZSIMMONS, LIVE 2005: THE BIRTHDAY SHOWS
(Emlyn Music, CD)
(Itz Fitz Music, CD) Vermont-based singer-songwriter Patrick Fitzsimmons is a familiar presence in the Green Mountain acoustic scene. A former member of major-label folk-rockers From Good Homes, Fitzsimmons has enjoyed a fair measure of success as a solo performer. His latest release, Live 2005: The Birthday Sessions, finds him on his former New Jersey stomping grounds backed by a full band. Fitzsimmons trades in humble acoustic pop that’s agreeable, if safe. With his honeyed voice and relaxed strumming, Fitzsimmons sounds custom-made for adult-contemporary radio. Following a brief round of applause, the disc kicks off with “Come to Me,� a breathy ballad saddled with romantic platitudes. Like an overenthusiastic paramour, the tune gets a bit cloying. I did enjoy Leena Gilbert’s lovely violin work, however. “Vermont Skies� follows a similar trajectory, with sensitive lyrics and tactful accompaniment. Percussionist Ned Stroh keeps things on a simmer, while upright bassist Rob Meehan provides surefooted low end. The instrumentation is pleasant, but the arrangement is fairly predictable. Fitzsimmons is at his most convincing on minor-key numbers such as “Forgiving You.� “You turn away from me now in disgrace / “To fight the war between your love and hate,� he sings with just a hint of acerbity. Unfortunately, the song’s mawkish chorus saps it of any real edge. “It’s all right, it’s OK / tomorrow brings another day for you and me,� he continues. Things would likely be more interesting if Fitzsimmons was less sympathetic. “Autumn� features chiming acoustic guitar and a brisk pop vocal. “Little hand held my thumb so tight / How could I know time would fly so fast with you,� Fitzsimmons sings. It’s all very soothing, but I couldn’t stop thinking about diaper ads. I was pleased to hear a cover of “That’s the Way,� from Led Zeppelin III. It’s always been an overlooked song in the Zep canon, and Fitzsimmons turns in a respectable version. “His Father’s Son� is a look at familial bonds, underscored by luxurious strings and reflective piano. Subsequent track “Dance� has a lot more bounce. Backed by vigorous hand drumming, Fitzsimmons brays about beating his boogie-phobia. The piano-led “Old Blue Heart� is about taking the time to notice life’s beauty. At least I think it is. After so many wistful ballads, it’s hard to stay focused. Fitzsimmons is well cast in the role of grown-up crooner, as Live 2005 ably proves. In his case, however, a little immaturity might go a long way.
Plattsburgh trombonist Rick Davies knows from salsa. I, on the other hand, do not. Is that a hindrance to my enjoyment of his latest disc, Siempre Salsa? Hardly. Davies is a music professor at SUNY Plattsburgh. He previously lived in the Big Apple, where he worked with a plethora of Latin jazz heavyweights, including the late Tito Puente. Since relocating, Davies has led Jazzismo, whose members comprise most of the players on this CD. Amazingly, all of the cuts on Siempre Salsa are Davies originals. Judging from the quality of each composition, they might as well be standards. Opener “Cena Para Seis� features sinewy horn lines bolstered by percussionist Steve Ferraris’ exotic rhythms. Special guest Dave Grippo takes a spicy alto sax solo before Davies takes over for a blow of his own. The spotlight subsequently shifts to pianist Tom Cleary, who offers a typically elegant keyboard run. “Rosa Primavera� finds salsa hero Wayne Gorbea on the ivories. Vocalist Frank Otero sings a bunch of stuff I can’t understand, but it sounds fantastic. Gorbea’s piano solo is gorgeously minimal, Luis Cruz’s bongo work riveting. On “Insomnia,� the sax section is expanded to include Brian McNamara, Aaron Garovoy, Alex Stewart and Rick Tutunjian. Their formation horn flights give the tune some serious punch. Trumpeter Tomer Levy delivers a tasty solo, as the band swells and recedes behind him. “Rumba Nortena�’s melody is the musical equivalent of a tongue twister. Davies’ daring trombone leaps made me question my assumptions about the instrument. Stewart’s no slouch, either, with sultry sax tones and impeccable phrasing. Levy’s trumpet hits the stratosphere on “Santos,� a song that’s the very definition of picante. Here, Davies is joined by a second trombonist, Rafi Malkiel. The extra brass makes for even more spice. “Calle Loca� flickers with the intensity of a blue flame. Grippo again pops by for a twisting sax solo that had me wondering when he finds time to breathe. The album closes with “Caliente Time,� a track built on staggered piano vamps and congas. Drummer Jeff Salisbury serves up smart cymbal work, as Stewart’s sax conjures images of open-air markets and flickering neon. Davies’ passion for Latin jazz is absolutely contagious. Catch the bug on Thursday, July 27, when he appears at the FlynnSpace with Jazzismo and Ray Vega.

Barn Again
T EXHIBIT “Summer Show,” works in all media by more than 40 artists. Tamarack Gallery, East Craftsbury, Open weekends through September 3.
ARTWORK “Transformation II” by Lisa Beach
PHOTO Marc Awodey
he yellow carriage barn in East Craftsbury that houses Tamarack Gallery isn’t exactly “restored,” but the sophisticated aesthetics of curators Elizabeth Nelson and Kathy Stark have transformed the structure into a jewel of the Northeast Kingdom. Here, rural 1912 architecture — rustic walls, high ceilings, big windows and uncluttered plank floors — provides a surprisingly compelling venue for visual art. Approximately 150 works by 45 artists from all corners of Vermont, and as far away as Tennessee, fill the barn with the zest of creativity. Pat De Gorgoza’s “Salvador Rooster” is a wonderfully carved, abstractly geometric fowl that seems to be influenced in equal measures by folk art and English sculptor Henry Moore. Its dimensions of roughly 4by-4 feet might seem awkward in other galleries, but its scale is just right in the carriage barn. De Gorgoza simplified the rooster’s plumage into broad ridges and valleys and subtly incised grooves, and painted it red in a way that suggests movement. Both bird and base are birch; an oil finish enriches the bird’s woodgrain patterns with a deep, ruddy glow, while the stump-like base is left natural. Another interesting sculptural piece is Lucy Hodgson’s wall-mounted assemblage of wavy, interlocking, cutout wooden designs, entitled “Rhyming the River.” The horizontal triptych is made of 12-inch squares about 4 inches deep. While the negative spaces of the cutouts, and their overlapping shadows, create threedimensional rhythms, the short, straight wood-grain lines offer a twodimensional counterpoint. Painting, of course, is prominent
TALKS/ EVENTS in this group show. “Transformation II” by Lisa Beach is a 4-by-3-foot abstraction swept by sinewy horizontal and vertical axes that create a textural cross. This runs through misty fields of sapphire blue and rose madder. Beach focuses attention on the cruciform junction by intensifying hues to the point of rawness with impasto brushwork. Sam Thurston’s 34-by-40-inch naturalistic oil portrait “Ava” has a similarly limited palette and sense of color harmony. His unpretentious figure-drawing style describes a plainly dressed woman sitting at a kitchen table with a cup of coffee. But a complex matrix of geometric shadows and room details contrasts with the gently curved lines of the figure. Such crisp realism also appears in curator Nelson’s three 32-by-40-inch horizontal winter scenes, which are hung end to end. The leftmost piece, entitled “Snowstorm,” places viewers in the middle of a leafless stand of deciduous trees surrounded by flurries that are created by thousands of white dots. Nelson’s 12-by-16-inch canvas “Car” is as playful as “Snowstorm” is dire. In the center of the little autumn
landscape, a photograph of an automobile is collaged onto a hilly Vermont road in the distance. The paint delicately merges with the photo’s edges. Sidney Sowles uses photography, or at least the materials of the medium, in a completely different way. His two 18-by-15-inch untitled photochemical drawings are nonobjective abstractions on paper. Photochemical drawings are essentially monoprints created by manipulating the developer, and sometimes sticky substances such as corn syrup, on photo paper for varied lengths of time. Depending on exposure to light, silvery gray tonalities blossom across the photo paper, where they are then fixed, creating photographic images without the aid of a camera. Sowles’ vertical compositions are like paintings made with puddles of sumi ink pulled across pages rather than brushed. Tamarack Gallery is an unheated venue, so its season is brief — July through the first of September — and it is open only on weekends. But the destination is well worth seeking out, and finding it makes for one of the best road trips in Vermont. m

Bush indicated that if the hostilities continue, they could threaten his traditional August vacation at his Crawford, Texas ranch. At a press briefing at the White House, the president said that if Hezbollah continued their rocket attacks on Israel, he would see those attacks as “an assault on my vacation itself.” “Throughout the civilized world, my summer vacation has been considered sacrosanct,” Mr. Bush told reporters. “The time has come for Hezbollah to recognize my vacation’s right to exist.” If Mr. Bush seemed testier than usual at the White House briefing, perhaps it was because he has recently suspected that there is a global conspiracy to spoil his downtime, starting
with North Korean President Kim Jong-Il’s decision to launch six test missiles on the Fourth of July. “No one wrecks my vacations,” Mr. Bush said with steely resolve. “Not on my watch.” While the president has

Davis (Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius) directs this animated morality tale about a boy who soaks an ant colony with his squirt gun, only to find himself shortly shrunk to insect-size and taught a life lesson. Nicolas Cage, Paul Giamatti and Julia Roberts lend their voices. (88 min, PG)
Clerks II HHHH
S JERSEY BOYS Smith’s sequel to his shoestring breakthrough is first-rate fun from start to finish.
ome things are worth waiting for. Kevin Smith became an indie icon 12 years ago when he famously sold his comic book collection to help finance the grainy, black-and-white slacker classic Clerks. The shoestring (its budget was under $27,000) saga of two gabby, ambition-free New Jersey buds, the convenience mart/video store where they mostly goofed off, and the motley crew who hung around the place was perhaps the most cost-effective comedy in film history. It not only made Smith’s name; it made him rich, and introduced a cast of characters that would provide the basis for much of the movie work that was to follow. Chief among them, of course: the weed-dealing duo Jay and Silent Bob. Clerks was a raunchy, triumphant celebration of friendship, perpetual adolescence and pop-culture obsession. Since 1994, ,Smith has made a number of pictures with considerably larger budgets but decidedly smaller payoffs for his audience. After Mallrats, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and 2004’s almost universally panned Jersey Girl, I personally questioned whether the filmmaker’s best days were a decade behind him. But there’s good news — and from a sequel! Clerks II doesn’t merely represent Smith’s return to his thematic and artistic roots. It’s a heartening return to form. To the strains of Talking Heads’ marvelously apt “(Nothing but) Flowers,” the movie’s opening montage brings us up to speed on what’s happened in the lives of our heroes, Dante Hicks (Brian O’Halloran) and Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson), since we last saw them. A much shorter song would have sufficed, because relatively little has changed: The Quick Stop, which provided the setting for the original film, has been closed due to a fire (Randal left the coffee machine on overnight), so the two friends have found work behind a new counter. Their universe is now largely defined by the neighborhood Mooby’s, a branch of the fictional fast-food chain first introduced in 1999’s Dogma. The two are now physically in their thirties, but in almost every other respect, time has stood still. They still spend their days together performing tasks for which they’re comically overqualified. They still engage in elaborate, wickedly warped conversations about things middle-aged men seldom discuss in major motion pictures. And they still know where to find Jay and Silent Bob: outside against the wall, as if the place would fall over if they went anywhere else. Well, there has been one development of note. Dante has
become engaged to a waspy, well-off blonde (Jennifer Schwalbach). Her parents have enticed the couple into relocating to Florida by offering to buy them a house and set him up with his own car-wash business. Deep inside, something is telling him to go along with all this, that it is what society expects of a man as he slouches toward 40. The film, in fact, takes place on what he has announced will be his final day at the restaurant. Dante is ambivalent. His best friend, on the other hand, is horrified. Randal can’t conceive of life without his sidekick. All the same, he insists on arranging a send-off worthy of a slacker prince. In the course of this fateful day, he sets in motion a chain of events destined to go down in film history as the most emotionally forthright, and undeniably touching, third act to involve a donkey show. Everything you hope for in a Kevin Smith movie, and more, is here. Life choices are examined, and compelling arguments are made in favor of choosing to live as a recent high school graduate straight through to the grave. A who’s who of Smith alumni (Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, etc.) turn in memorable cameos. Great debates are staged. Randal’s diatribe about the superiority of Star Wars over Lord of the Rings is choice. And deliciously twisted comic moments arrive out of left field just when you least expect them. High points include an ecstatic dance sequence set to the Jackson Five’s “ABC”; a bit about invisible trolls who stand guard inside the private parts of young women; and some of the finest Jay and Silent Bob scenes ever. The chemistry between Jason Mewes and the mostly mute director has rarely been better. Even Mewes’ recent stint in rehab is worked into the material; it provides the impetus for one of the movie’s most hilariously surreal sequences. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so suffice it to say that Silence of the Lambs will never seem quite the same. There is also a love story involving Dante’s boss, played by Rosario Dawson, and it makes for a satisfying subplot. The heart and soul of Clerks II, however, is in the bond and deep affection the two men feel for one another. Few films have succeeded in being simultaneously so edgy and sweet-natured. And the ending is among the most perfect I’ve seen. With any luck, Smith will catch us up with these two check-out chums again in another 10 years or so. I’d love to find out what their futures have in store. m

ART BELL
(TCFF), beginning July 31 in Michigan, was less about wheels than social commentary. “It’s a very political event,” Bell notes. His 10-minute project conveys “my subtle digs at the government.” Bell’s topical travelogue is a paean to North America, focusing on rural and urban landscapes he captured with his Canon Elph digital video camera through windows, in side-view mirrors or al fresco. These striking, on-the-road images are accompanied by audio excerpts from President John F.
Kennedy’s 1961 inaugural speech, which includes the famous “Ask not what your country can do for you . . .” line. His words about “the struggle against the common enemies of tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself ” resonate through the decades. “I wish we still had a president who could stand up and speak like that,” laments Bell. Audiences apparently agree. “Ride” was recently screened on a beach at the Nantucket Film Festival, where Bell witnessed the crowd’s enthusiastic approval. The path to his upcoming Traverse City odyssey originated a few months ago when Bell helped out on Sicko, Moore’s doc-in-progress about the health-care system. Despite the controversial director’s years of cinematic muckraking, his Manhattan studio appeared woefully behind the times. “The crappiness of their equipment was shocking,” Bell says. “I was clearly the most techno guy in the room. I’ve used a lot of spy cameras, so I hooked his people up with one the size of a button that matches your shirt. The military uses them.” A Moore employee asked Bell to leave a copy of “Ride.” Another TCFF contact later text-messaged him: “MM was almost moved to tears. He wants it in the fest . . . No laughing matter, dude. You’re a star.” Maybe not quite yet. “I don’t know where I’m going as a filmmaker,” acknowledges Canadian ex-pat Bell, who is currently editing John
O’Brien’s The Green Movie. He’s a bit stunned by all the acclaim for his short, which will precede a yet-tobe-determined feature in the festival schedule of about 70 films. Entirely handpicked by Moore, the selection incorporates both old fare (Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 classic, Dr. Strangelove) and new (Woody Allen’s Scoop). The extravaganza promises “movies that entertain and enlighten,” while also seeking “to enrich the human spirit and the art of filmmaking — not the bottom line.” Visit www.traversecityfilmfestival.org for details, and go to Art Bell’s website — www.dreamlikepictures.com — to view “Ride.” A combustible mixture of sex and religion plagues several lonely characters in The Holy Girl, by writer-director Lucretia Martel. The 2004 Argentinean release is unspooling Saturday at 7 and 9:30 p.m. as part of the Middlebury College Language Schools International Film Festival, a weekly series held in Dana Auditor-ium. This compellingly oblique slice-of-life in a provincial town doesn’t provide any pat resolutions. Most of the action takes place inside the drab Hotel Termas, where the owners — siblings Helena (Mercedes Moran) and Freddy (Alejandro Urdapilleta) — were raised. He often crashes in the suite she shares with her adolescent daughter
Amalia (Maria Alche). The family’s claustrophobia pervades an establishment that offers little privacy but shelters numerous murky secrets. During a conference there of ear, nose and throat specialists, the divorced Helena is attracted to the somber, middle-aged, married Dr. Jano (Carlos Belloso). Meanwhile, in a crowd of people on the street listening to the eerie music of a theremin, the physician rubs his crotch against a random young girl who just happens to be Amalia. He’s chosen the wrong 14-year-old for his anonymous act of perversion. Amalia becomes obsessed by an awkward confluence: a Catholic quest to save his soul and her own erotic awakening. She confides in best friend Josefina (Julita Zylberberg) that the encounter with Jano must be just the sort of “sign from God” their catechism teacher has told them to expect. The teen’s misguided divine “mission” ripples through the narrative like swimmers in the hotel pool, which serves as a communal repository for lost souls. Martel’s elliptical storytelling, offbeat camera angles and slyly ambient sounds slowly piece together an unsettling saga about the collision of carnality and faith. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
Barnum had a special JUMBO JET to transport his prize elephant. BLACK ICE is the name of a Florentine sorbet made with Kahlua. There is no cream in either an egg cream or a CREAM SODA. No one can explain why POP CORN is associated with movies. Only insensitive jerks would refer to a sorority as a DOG HOUSE. For a cat’s digestion, a FLY BALL is far nastier than a hair ball. Head-butting an opponent was not part of the original GAME PLAN. They should make “Girls Gone Wild” into a big-screen B MOVIE. Brenda Starr competed with Lois Lane to be the STAR REPORTER. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: MUCH TOO HARD. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: The clues demonstrate a kind of togetherness.
T
he almighty automobile seems to connect Art Bell with Michael Moore. The Burlington filmmaker shot “Ride” primarily from moving cars or motorcycles. The latter’s first documentary, Roger & Me, focuses on the devastating aftermath of General Motors’ decision to close its plants in his hometown near Detroit. However, Bell suspects that what prompted Moore to invite “Ride” to his weeklong Traverse City Film Festival

They came and went faster than you can say “straight to video.” Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

MENTAL FLOSS
Anxiety and depression almost convinced Burlington dramaturge and videographer Gail Marlene Schwartz to leave Goddard College’s MFA program, but her advisor coached her to make art instead. The result is Crazy, a solo show that probes what mental illness means in contemporary U.S. society. Send-ups of the many therapists Schwartz has seen since age 5 combine with her Broadway musical obsession, list making, and hiding from an imaginary intruder in the bathtub. Projected images include a Rorschach test and photos of Schwartz having an anxiety attack. The piece will appear in the New York International Fringe Festival in August, but Queen City theatergoers can check it out this week as part of a show with a three-member women’s dance collective.
‘CRAZY’ Wednesday and Friday, July 26 & 28, Rose Street Artists’ Co-op, Burlington, 8 p.m. Free. Info, 578-4572. www.thirdstorywindow.com

scene@SHREDFEST NEW ENGLAND FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, WILLISTON, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1 P.M. As I pulled into the bank parking lot, I mentally questioned whether two huge document shredders and a table with brochures are worthy of the suffix “fest.� Sure, it was under a tent, but there were no jugglers or fried dough in sight. Rather, this was a scene of pure, unmitigated document destruction. In terms of sheer shredding capability, the SecureShred trucks in front of the NEFCU could probably handle Kenneth Lay’s bunker of fraud without a problem. To experience these huge machines at work, I dropped some old bank statements into a trash can, which was picked up by one of the trucks and inhaled into the back, where the shredder was. (Unfortunately it wasn’t the villain from Ninja Turtles.) I watched my paperwork’s slaughter on a small, closed-circuit TV feed. This way, I could be sure the truck didn’t contain any PATRIOT Act-enforcing agents looking for evidence of terrorist activities — in my case, library fines or Hot Topic receipts. Nor was there a petty criminal waiting to burgle my identity and sully my reputation by becoming a famous ballroom dancer. Nope, I could see right there on the screen that the back of the truck was like a Steve Vai album: nothing but shredding. One of the SecureShred employees told me that a tissue factory would be recycling the paper shreds. I immediately imagined the wood pulp going full circle, soaking up tears in the back of a courtroom as the gavel came down on some corporate thug. Then I realized that the world is not so conveniently ironic, and that the old bank statements-turned-tissues would more likely serve someone watching “As the World Turns.� I asked a nearby NEFCU employee if anyone had tried to shred anything unusual, such as a mother-in-law. No relatives, she said, but someone nearly shred a nail clipper and a butter knife that happened to be in the box of documents they brought to destroy. No scissors, however, were trying to sacrifice themselves to the god of cutting technology. Guess they still have delusions of grandeur. JAKE TUCK 3x6-catamountoutdoor072606

COMBINATION FLOCK The spirited entertainers of Musafir have a passion for music, poetry and feats of endurance. The troupe’s name means “traveler� in Farsi, and its folkloric offerings combine gypsy, Hindu and Islamic arts traditions in a multi-culti caravan. Hailing from the Thar Desert in the Rajasthan province of northwestern India, the men and women of the group exhibit hypnotic tabla drumming, whirling dances in bright costumes, turbaned snake charming and fire eating — all part of a mid-afternoon outdoor show that evokes distant sands and long days on the road. At a pre-show lecture and demo Friday night, artistic director and tabla player Hameed Khan traces the origins of Musafir’s sound and fury to the interplay between Indian folkways and gypsy culture.

RAY OF LIGHT
Horn veteran Ray Vega played for years as a sideman with the bands of salsa and Latin jazz greats Tito Puente, Ray Barretto and Hector LaVoe, and now he’s presenting his own perspective on the music. With four solo albums under his belt, the multi-talented trumpeter, composer and arranger draws on the bomba rhythms of his native Puerto Rico, sometimes jumping in as an auxiliary percussionist with a guiro, cowbell or clave sticks. The flugelhorn virtuoso also possesses pizzazz when it comes to entertaining an audience, cracking jokes and ad-libbing musical asides. The New York City-based sextet Jazzismo joins Vega under the direction of Salsa Picante trombonist and SUNY Plattsburgh music prof Rick Davies for a summer sizzler of a show.

You can sample the sweet, tasty pastry at this weekend’s Hellenic fest, along with more than 15 other varieties, from honey-baked baklava to deep-fried diples, all made by crackerjack local volunteer bakers. Main dish platters of savory entrées from gyros to souvlaki are also available, but arrive early — the food tends to go fast. Saturday’s “taverna night” features traditional dancing to music by the Boston-based Greek band Do-Re-Mi, and a cash bar featuring different varieties of Arcadian wines and clear, anise-flavored ouzo that turns milky when ice is added. Raise a glass, and toast “Jamas!” — or “Cheers!”

BRUTE ROMANCE
You can’t judge a book by its cover — that’s the moral of “Beauty and the Beast,” a fairy tale popularized by Charles Perrault in 1697, in which a lovely girl learns to love her hideous-yet-kind captor. The Lamoille County Players stage a family-theater adaptation of Disney’s musical this week. In it, beautiful Belle bests the Beast’s appearance-altering curse through a combination of spunk and true love, singing and dancing along the way with a lively teapot, a bustling feather duster and a gracious candlestick. An audience costume contest on July 26 lets would-be princesses, lumberjacks and wild animals let their hair down, too.
‘BEAUTY & THE BEAST’ Wednesday through Saturday, July 26-29, 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 30, 2 p.m., Hyde Park Opera House $12-15. Info, 888-4507. www.lcplayers.com

JULY 27 - AUGUST 02
BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The honest CANCER (June 21-July 22): The dreams LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I foresee the
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
man must be a perpetual renegade,” said French essayist Charles Péguy. The honest woman must be one, too, I would add. While that’s always a good rule to keep in mind, it will be especially apropos for you in the coming weeks, Aries. If you hope to remain true to yourself and in alignment with your highest integrity, you will have to maintain a rebellious vigilance. By the way, that does not mean you should constantly be agitated, fuming, and off-kilter. On the contrary, the healthiest insurrectionary fervor you can muster will be full of exuberance and joie de vivre.
“Hundreds of articles in medical journals claiming to be written by academics or doctors have been penned by ghostwriters in the pay of drug companies,” according to The Observer (http://snipurl.com/nqso). Is this one more sign of corruption in the pharmaceutical industry? Yes. And further evidence that you should be very skeptical of all authorities everywhere? Sure. But it’s also a metaphor that could prove useful to keep in mind as you navigate your way through the riddles you’ll soon encounter. Be alert for the possibility that what you see is not what you’re actually getting. There may be manipulative powers behind the throne . . . stand-ins pretending to be the real thing . . . mouthpieces that hide the true source of their message.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): “One morning I came upon a small demonstration on a street corner,” wrote Sparrow in The Sun. “Several men were holding signs that said BRING BACK DUSK, and shouting, ‘Dusk! Give us dusk!’ ‘But dusk will come again this evening,’ I pointed out to one of them. ‘We don’t care,’ he replied, with a wild look. ‘We want it now!’” If and when you become impatient in the coming week, Taurus, remember Sparrow’s story. Progress will proceed at its own pace, not yours. The peaches will ripen when they are ready, not necessarily when you are.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): In their article “Most Popular Myths in Science” (http://tinyurl.com/h2mya), editors at LiveScience.com analyzed ideas that are dear to conventional wisdom. They debunked the notions that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, that humans only use 10 percent of their brains, and that it’s safe to eat food that has been on the floor for less than 5 seconds. But they affirmed certain other “myths.” A falling cat does pretty much always land on its feet, they found. Yawning is indeed contagious. Eating two poppy seed bagels can produce a positive result for opiates on a drug test. I bring this up, Gemini, as a prod to get you to take inventory of your own opinions, assumptions and storylines. This is a perfect moment to not just question your beliefs, but to give them the third degree.
you have in the coming nights may be disturbing. Eagles may be dive-bombing warm and fuzzy little sheep. Lions may be pouncing on gentle deer and big bullies may be stealing the lunch money of cute little kids on the playground. You should not, however, view these dreams as bad omens. If you respond to them correctly, they will not turn out to be prophecies about literal developments in your waking life. And what is the correct response? Toughen up the part of you whose feelings are too easily hurt. Strengthen the protection that surrounds your vulnerabilities. Stand up for yourself with a courage that is graceful, not macho.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel writer Bruce Chatwin walked around Australia as he researched and meditated on the indigenous people’s beliefs about what the land was like in the ancient past. He wrote: “Aboriginal creation myths tell of the legendary totemic beings who wandered over the continent in the Dreamtime, singing out the name of everything that crossed their path — sbirds, animals, plants, rocks, waterholes — and so singing the world into existence.” Given the fact that you’re now primed to create a new domain or two, Leo, may I suggest the aborigines’ approach? You’ll infuse everything with extra beauty if you play around with singing it into existence.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Once upon a time, you asked a certain someone for a blessing. Instead, he or she blasted you with a curse. The debilitating blow of that bad magic hit you right smack in the place that was ripe for the blessing you requested. What a tragedy! Now, at last, you’re wise and strong enough to defeat the power of that old curse. Here’s the first step: Understand that the seed of the blessing you once needed (and still need) is hidden within and obscured by the curse. Figure out what that blessing is, and it will reveal to you what to do next. (P.S.: The French word for “wound” is blessure. It suggests that blessing can come from wounding.)
possibility of a Jerry Springer kind of week ahead for some of you Libras. You might seek romantic relationships with incarcerated criminals, or embark on a diet that requires you to eat three pints of ice cream per day, or try to take out your frustrations by spitting in the faces of unhinged teenage boys in mosh pits at punk concerts. On the other hand, there is also the possibility that many of you Libras will be pursuing unusual departures from the routine that would be more appreciated by the Dalai Lama than Jerry Springer. For instance, you might teach your skills to a class in a penitentiary, or go on a juice fast to purify yourself in preparation for a confrontation with abusive authorities, or express your righteous indignation at injustice by volunteering at a battered women’s shelter. Whether you go more in the direction of Jerry Springer or the Dalai Lama will all depend on how craftily you wield your free will.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many people regard Evangeline Lilly, star of TV’s “Lost,” as an exceptionally attractive woman. When she was younger, that was a problem for her. “I spent many nights crying myself to sleep,” she has said, “wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered at and disrespected me.” In my studies of human nature, I’ve found that most of us, like Lilly, have had a tormented relationship with our most extravagant assets. Fortunately for you, Scorpio, you now have an enhanced capacity to be at peace with and thoroughly enjoy the potent effects your beauty and power have on the world.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Philosopher Robert Anton Wilson wrote an article called “How to Live Eleven Days in 24 Hours.” I’m borrowing the title to serve as your theme in the coming days. Your instinct for smart risks is finely tuned, and your ability to cram adroit intensity into every one of your experiences is high — so much so that you could probably harvest eleven days’ worth of sexy lessons in several different 24-hour periods just ahead.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This week should be pretty CRUNCHALICIOUS, Aquarius. You know, crisp and delectable, chewy and pleasing to your inner 4-year-old — like a breakfast cereal with three different sweet tastes packed into puff balls that softly explode in your mouth. The only potential problem is that you could keep wolfing down the treats without any regard for how the experience might make you feel later. I suggest that you enjoy the feast slowly, pausing every now and then to monitor whether you’re close to being excessively stimulated or over-satiated.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Some observers have expressed derisive opinions about Guy Boos, a Wisconsin man who hurled his washing machine down a flight of stairs and pumped it full of bullets with his .25-caliber gun. I, on the other hand, admire those who take out their frustration and rage on inanimate objects rather than on animals or other human beings. That’s why I advise you to consider Boos’ methodology if you find yourself on the verge of boiling over, Pisces. Don’t repress your negative feelings, but find a way to express them that doesn’t cost you anything more than a little money.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, I have been married to the same man for 26 years, plus five years of dating him since I was 15. We split up six years ago, and in my mind I was going through with a divorce, but a friend talked me into going back with him. He was a very bad drinker and I told him if he came back he couldn’t drink. He kept his word, but six years later he left me for no reason that I can figure out. What should I do? I’ve been out of the dating scene for a very long time. When we lived together, no sex was involved. I want a man who will take care of me. Yes, I’m a big woman, a little shy and so lonely. Tell me what to do. I really need someone who will take care of me and show me that sex can be fun. I never had that. Alone in Adamant Dear Alone, There is no magic formula, unfortunately. You just have to get out and meet people through interest groups or volunteer organizations. And tell your friends that you’re available and interested in introductions. Good luck! Love, Lola
