weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Sheâ€™s Right

PLANETâ€™S PERIL Thanks so much to Erik Esckilsen for his article â€œHot Under the Collarâ€? [June 28]. For years Iâ€™ve been reading about the planetâ€™s dire situation and the terrible things we humans are doing wrong, but just recently Iâ€™ve been given hope. The key to dealing with this issue is awareness, and releasing these films serves to get the ball rolling. If people are conscious of the situation and its consequences and are given options on how to make a difference, I have faith that we will see a positive change. After all, there are so many signs that our planet is suffering, we simply cannot look the other way any longer. One of the biggest obstacles preventing us from improving our planet is the lies and flat-out disobedience of our current government. An example: For the last three years the Bush Administration fought to remove the Pygmy Owl from the endangered species list in order to log and build on the owlsâ€™ Arizona habitat. There are currently only 18 of these owls left in the state. In May the owls were de-listed. So, by all means, keep the forums open and the articles full of facts, because thereâ€™s more than enough evidence out there to use as arsenal against those who say there isnâ€™t a problem.

http://shesright.blogspot.com

FREEDOM TO BURN THE FLAG (edited for length) I wanted to say a few words about the flag-burning amendment that failed in the Senate the other day. The fact that I am/was a Republican probably makes you think that I was all for this move, which was largely supported by Republicans [but] I completely oppose this idea. The purpose of the First Amendment is to protect our right to express our dissent from the government. The First Amendment protects us from the government interfering with our free expression, be it political, religious, or other. That means anti-American nut-jobs have the right to burn the flag, a political candidate has the right to spend millions of dollars (his or othersâ€™) trying to build name recognition, churches have the right to think homosexuality is wrong, protesters have the right to call the president names and scream about â€œblood for oil,â€? protesters have the right to carry signs with pictures of aborted fetuses, and the government (that includes you, too) does not have the right to stop them. I am totally at a loss as to why one side supports freedom only when it suits them and the other side supports freedom only when it suits them. Itâ€™s all or nothing, people. Either we are free or weâ€™re not. This has been a victorious week for the Constitution. Thank God because I was really starting to get worried.

Seven Daysâ€™ occasionally fine articles notwithstanding, â€œsecurity â€˜guruâ€™â€? Bruce Schneier got it wrong in your interview with him in the June 7

issue [â€œTales From the Cryptographerâ€?] upon bemoaning, rightly, the many invasive effects of security hysteria fomented by the popular mediadriven myths of 9/11, i.e., wastefully foolish ID checks in airports: â€œEverybody has an ID. So what? All the 9/11 hijackers had IDs.â€? Truth be told: 1) No Muslims were listed on any of the four flight manifests. Impossible unless they werenâ€™t on board. 2) Several of the pseudo-hijackers have complained to several mainstream media in Europe, including on TV, that not only were they not hijackers but they flew no planes into any buildings, because theyâ€™re alive (their identities were stolen by the idiots in the Bush administration who compiled the lists). 3) The security tape showing three of the pseudo-hijackers was provided by the security firm Stratesec, then called Securacom, whose CEO is Wirt D. Walker III, nephew of George H.W. Bush and cousin to George W. Bush. Securacomâ€™s head of security at the World Trade Center before 9/11 was Marvin Bush, son and brother, respectively, to the Terrorists-inChief, â€œ41â€? and â€œ43.â€? 4) Pseudo-hijacker Mohammad Atta miraculously left two rental cars on the morning of 9/11, one in Portland, Maine, and one in Boston, Mass. (oops!), from where he pseudo-hijacked the plane, and in one of his bags he â€œleft behindâ€? his will â€” which he was taking with him into the North Tower? Brain check, Seven Days. Itâ€™s bad enough when main-

stream propaganda force-feeds the lies of the religion of the Bush conspiracy theory, which liberals who populate the pages of Seven Days cling to with the faith of a zealot neocon-in-training. There is nothing â€œalternativeâ€? about Seven Daysâ€™ shoddy, pro-Bush fact checking. You have been called out.

DOUBTFUL DOINGS Seven Daysâ€™ story on the 9/11 Truth march on Church St. was remarkable for openness and absence of dismissive tone [Local Matters, June 28]. But the 9/11 Truth movement knows a lot more than a reader might gather from the coverage. And the primary thing it knows is that there must have been some level of inside involvement in the planning and execution of the dayâ€™s events. Consider only: 1. There are standard NORAD protocols for scrambling jets when aircraft goes off course, protocols that have worked routinely over the years. Yet the apparatus seemed nonexistent on that day. The World Trade Center and the Pentagon are in the most heavily protected air corridors in the world. A stand-down must have been effected, whether by specific order or by pre-planned diversion. No Islamic terrorist could bring off such a thing. Who did? 2. The late afternoon fall of WTC Building Seven at almost freefall speed, and right over its own footprint, was a classic example a 1x2-petpal060706 6/5/06of 4:05 PM well-done controlled demolition.

SEVEN DAYS wants your rants and raves, in 250 words or fewer. Letters must respond to content in SEVEN DAYS. Include your full name, town and a daytime phone number, and send to: SEVEN DAYS, P.O. Box 1164, Burlington, VT 05402-1164. fax: 865-1015 email: letters@sevendaysvt.com

The building was not hit by aircraft or debris, and had only two small fires on lower floors. Larry Silverstein, the building owner, stated that the building was “pulled.” Now, pulling a building takes weeks, if not months, of preparation — structural analysis, planting of explosives, etc. How is it that the building was ready to be pulled so beautifully on a few hours’ notice? Once one asks this question, many of the more complex features of the twin towers’ collapse fall into place. Eyewitness testimony about

explosions make sense. They too could only have been controlled demolitions. Again, no Islamic terrorists could have had such intimate preparatory access to the buildings. The steel was quickly trucked away and melted down, contravening all law concerning crime scenes. 3. The initial photos of the Pentagon, before the roof collapse, show only an 18-foot-diameter hole, far too small to admit the body of a 757, and with no indication of the impact of wings or tail. Further, there was no strewn wreckage such

as is normally found. Given the photographic and video evidence, the official story cannot possibly be true. Minutes after the event, all footage from video cameras outside and inside the Pentagon was confiscated by the FBI, and no footage showing a 757 has been released. Why not? If it was not a 757 that hit the Pentagon, what was it? And who beside the military has the kind of missiles that can penetrate that thickness of concrete? These three events alone indicate not only an alternate story, but one

that must involve high-level, inside work. Nineteen men with box cutters could not effect such things, nor could al-Qaeda effect such postevent handling. The cui bono question is easily answered. That most people find this difficult to believe is understandable. But before dismissing the obvious implications, the contradictions must be otherwise explained: NORAD does not stand down for no reason. Steel buildings do not melt and collapse from (short-term and partial) kerosene-temperature fires. 757s do not fit in 18-foot holes. The implications of government and military involvement in 9/11 are immense and frightening, but must be confronted to truly explore the underside of power, and to prepare for a desperate repetition.

JAZZ JAMMED? Andrea Rogers seems infallible in her proud accounting of the jazz women featured in the Flynn’s ’05-’06 season [Letters, June 28]. That’s cool, yet I have to wonder why the Flynn sticks its neck out for women during fall, winter and spring, but, come festival time, it’s back to “Father Knows Best”? Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but can’t Andrea get it through her head that women, who represent approximately 50 percent of the population, are getting tired of being typecast as vocal divas? Sure, the voice is an instrument, but there also happens to be a huge spectrum of other instruments that women are quite capable yet vastly under-represented on in the profes-

sional music world. And I believe I speak for many when I say that it’s high time for the Discover Jazz Festival to get with the program by taking a more proactive approach to presenting women with greater effort and respect. This does not mean “presenting women as its primary responsibility” needs to be the number-one mission statement at Discover Jazz HQ. This is not the Michigan Women’s Music Festival. This is about showing a few high school girls that their hard-practicing just might someday turn into reward and recognition by giving them a few (not just one) world-renowned (not just local) female instrumentalists (not just singers) to inspire them . . . Discover Jazz Festival is the highestprofile jazz event of the year in Vermont, so gender balance should at least be one of its primary responsibilities. And hello, Andrea, the outdoor bookings of Ellen Powell and Jennifer Hartswick were not just second-class “slots” — I’d call it more like third. First class is the Flynn Mainstage; second class is anything else that appears in print on the first publicity flyer; third class is the free leftovers you dig through a 60-page book to find one week or so before the festival happens, stand in the rain to see, or fight a hangover to drag yourself to on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Women deserve better — so how about starting with a simple apology?

BURLINGTON — The seasonal proliferation of outdoor cafés in downtown Burlington makes Church Street look like an Italian piazza on a balmy summer eve. And those patron-packed tables don’t just add to the atmosphere; they bring in the bucks. Ron Redmond, executive director of the Church Street Marketplace, says the period between January and April tends to be slow for most establishments. The summer seating — which is essentially a temporary business expansion — allows them to play catch-up. “Our sidewalk cafés are huge in terms of making it possible to help these establishments over that bumpy road,” he observes. Burlington’s bar and restaurant owners almost invariably describe their outdoor seating areas as “vital.” “On a nice day, nobody wants to be inside,” says Bill Shahady, the co-owner of the Wine Bar at Wine Works, who fought the city for three years to be able to put six tables on St. Paul Street. “You want to hit somebody below the belt, take away their ability to serve outside.” That’s exactly what Burlington’s Local Control Commission — a body composed of members of the City Council — did last week to the Radio Bean café on North Winooski Avenue. On Monday, June 26, the Commission voted to revoke Radio Bean’s license to serve alcohol at its three sidewalk tables. The Commission also suspended the Bean’s indoor liquor license for one four-day period in July. The sanctions resulted from an overcrowding incident in May, for which the Bean received a

$200 noise violation. The fire marshal noted there were too many people packed into the venue’s small space, and reported that some patrons were sitting at sidewalk tables drinking alcohol while just one person was on duty inside the bar. Radio Bean hasn’t had a single alcohol-related incident or altercation in six years of operation, but state regulations require that both indoor

“We’ve talked about having volunteer door people, doing one shift a month,” he says. “We already have a guy who volunteers to monitor the door once a week.” The fact that the Bean’s customers are stepping up to help out isn’t a surprise; the café has become a hub for artists and musicians looking for an intimate performance space. And

and outdoor areas be supervised. City Councilor Paul Decelles calls the lack of outdoor supervision “a major violation.” “I’m as pro-business as anyone,” says the New North End Republican, “but something as serious as this . . . the four-day suspension could be considered a little light.” Decelles, who has never been to the Radio Bean, suggests that policing both indoor and outdoor areas is just too much to ask of one person. But Radio Bean owner Lee Anderson says he can’t afford to hire a second staff person. “It would be really, really hard for us to employ two people at all times,” he explains. Anderson, who also plays harmonica for a band called Cccome?, stops to talk before heading to the 1/2 Lounge for a gig. He says he plans to reapply for his outdoor liquor license, but is not sure how he’ll deal with the staffing requirement.

Anderson actively cultivates community, both in his space and in the ’hood, by organizing arts events such as the Old North End Ramble. Radio Bean isn’t just a bar; it’s a cultural Mecca. But to function as such, and stay in the black, the place has to be a successful bar, too. And that’ll be difficult without an outdoor consumption license. Anderson says people have already started to complain about it. It was stifling hot inside the café last Thursday night when Susan Weiss and Robin Perlah tried to bring drinks outside — only to be ordered back inside by a vigilant barista. She and Weiss found themselves seated at a metal table listening to subdued live jazz that was just audible over rock music emanating from The O.P. next door. Good music isn’t enough, apparently. If she had known she couldn’t drink outside, Perlah says, “I would have left.” m

Food Made With Pride!

Knocked Up and Knocked Down BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — Ainaka Luna, a 38-year-old Lincoln resident, claims she was asked to leave the Church Street bar Red Square on a recent Saturday night after a bouncer told her that the establishment has a strict policy about “not allowing pregnant women on the dance floor after 10 p.m.” Luna, who is six months pregnant, says she and several of her friends arrived at the bar shortly after 9 p.m. for a performance by Mamadou, a Senegalese rhythm guitarist. She claims she was asked to leave at about 10:30; a bouncer told her that the policy was in place to protect pregnant women from being jostled by dancers or injured in a fight. “He told us that we didn’t understand the risks of being pregnant,” says Luna. “I found it very offensive, discriminatory and stupid.” Luna, a native of Colombia who’s been in Vermont for about a year, says she worked for many years as a professional dancer in her home country and in Australia, and even gave performances when she was seven months pregnant. “I have a right to be there, and I don’t want other pregnant women to be restricted just because we have a belly,” she notes, adding she plans to report the incident to the Vermont Human Rights Commission. But Red Square owner Martti Matheson says that the whole incident has been blown out of proportion. He insists that Red

Square has “absolutely” never had a policy barring pregnant women in the bar — before 10 p.m. or after. “If we see someone who’s obviously pregnant, we might tell them that we think it might not be healthy” to be on the dance floor, Matheson says. “But we’d definitely never tell someone to leave. That would just be stupid.” A Burlington Police Department spokesman confirmed last week that officers recently used a Taser to subdue a vicious dog that was attacking another dog on Church Street. According to BPD Public Information Officer Mike Schirling, the incident occurred on June 18 at about 6:30 p.m. outside Leunig’s on Church Street. Reportedly, a 70pound husky broke loose from its owner and began attacking another dog. Schirling said that officers subdued the animal with a recently deployed Taser, an electronic stun gun that is considered a “less than lethal” weapon. Burlington police have been carrying Tasers for about six weeks and have only used them three or four times, Schirling added. dog’s owner, Rita The Chambers, was issued citations for public intoxication and for having an unlicensed, unvaccinated dog. The pooch was impounded but reportedly wasn’t injured. Tasers are an increasingly popular “simunition” weapon among police departments across the country. The gun-like device fires

two metal prongs attached to wires that deliver a brief, 50,000volt pulse of electricity. The shock temporarily overrides the central nervous system and causes the subject to instantly collapse. Taser International, which manufactures the stun gun, claims that the weapon is effective on animals and humans, according to Schirling. The manufacturer’s website tells a slightly different story. “The ADVANCED TASER is not specifically recommended for use against animals as its main function,” the site reads. “The main reason is that the ADVANCED TASER was created for ‘human nervous systems,’ not animals.” That said, the site also notes, “We have received several reports of police officers using the ADVANCED TASER on pit bulls during warrant entries and also where pit bulls have attacked other dogs . . . We, in fact, now recommend that officers ‘try’ the ADVANCED TASER against the dogs and let us know of their success. It is still an unknown area for us, as we don’t teach animal control tactics.” Schirling said it was unfortunate that the dog had to be Tasered, but that it prevented injury to the other dog and was a quicker, safer and more effective method of subduing the animal than pepper spray, which can burn a subject for hours and cause respiratory problems for officers and innocent bystanders. m

CIVIL LIBERTIES

BURLINGTON — The American Library Association honored University of Vermont librarian Trina Magi last week for her efforts to organize opposition to portions of the USA PATRIOT Act. On June 27, Magi received the Elizabeth Futas Catalyst for Change Award at the ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans — a gathering that drew roughly 18,000 librarians from across the country and featured guest speakers such as Madeleine Albright and Laura Bush. Over the past few years, Magi has mobilized librarian opposition to Sections 215 and 505 of the PATRIOT Act. The first allows investigators to access library records without having to specify a person’s name or show probable cause for a search. The second gives investigators access to information from anyone providing electronic communication services. That includes libraries. In addition to her work with librarians, Magi also accompanied Vermont Congressman Bernie Sanders on a speaking tour around the state to raise public awareness about the law. Sanders told the ALA, “Magi’s efforts to reform the PATRIOT Act have proven that one person’s actions can affect change in this country.”

TRINA MAGI

But Magi says the real difference, so far, has been “minimal.” “This issue has not gone away yet,” she says. Magi notes that Congress recently reauthorized the PATRIOT law, making only slight changes. “They can ask for a

bunch of information and just go through it and see what’s there,” she says. “I still have great concerns, as do many of my colleagues. It’s really troublesome. We’re still vulnerable.” m

Every Day is an OPEN HOUSE! BURLINGTON — Real estate developer Ernie Pomerleau believes he’s got a winning formula for beating the 501 blues. That’s the 501 Pine Street blues, to be specific. Over the last 10 years, at least three other developers have approached the city with proposals for the South End property, a former industrial site just north of the Burlington Electric Department and across the street from the old Specialty Filaments building. All of those proposals, including one for a Shaw’s supermarket and another for a Maplefields gas station and convenience store, were withdrawn, due in large part to community opposition. This time, however, Pomerleau is cautiously optimistic that his proposal — a three-story, 75,000to 80,000-square-foot, green office building — will win over neighbors and the city’s various review boards. “If you’re a developer, you have to be a Pollyanna,” says Pomerleau, who says a new sign on the property signals the beginning of his “soft marketing” effort. He’s already had “an informal chit-chat” with the Design Advisory Board and Development Review Board, but has not yet submitted formal permit applications; he plans to do so in the next couple of months. “It’s not a supermarket, it’s half the amount of parking, it has no gas station, and it’s a beautifully designed building,” Pomerleau says. Which isn’t to suggest that the project will sail through. The eight-acre parcel is a brownfield site, or former industrial property, and also sits adjacent to the barge canal Superfund site. “We’ve been overwhelmed with the number of studies we had to do on the front end,” Pomerleau says, citing site assessments, numerous stormwater-control studies, wetland reviews, Superfund boundary reviews and geotechnical surveys. “Other projects have all been walks in the park compared to this.” And, despite recent reports that new coal-tar contaminants are leaking into the barge canal,

Pomerleau believes his project can proceed as planned. Karen Lupino, the EPA’s Boston-based remedial project manager for the barge canal site, says the agency has known about this issue for more than a year and insists it has no impact whatsoever on the proposed development. Pomerleau describes the proposed building as a “Class A” office space that would sit close to Pine Street. The front of the building would be aligned with the Maltex Building to the north, with parking in the rear and possibly some retail space and services on the first floor to create a “streetscape” consistent with the city’s plans for Pine Street. The Burlington-based developer won’t reveal who might occupy the new building, though he

coveted office space in the city’s inner core. He adds that CEDO is not putting up any funding for this project. Pomerleau notes that he’s been working with the EPA to address various issues related to the Superfund site — in particular, concerns over stormwater management. He says they’re exploring designs for a “green roof” that would collect stormwater runoff and recycle it for irrigation, toilets and other nonpotable uses. The property, a former manufactured-gas plant that operated at the Pine Street Canal from 1895 to 1966, was listed as a federal Superfund site in 1983. EPA investigations from 1989 to 1992 revealed extensive coal-tar contamination in the soil and sediment in the canal and adjacent

It’s not a supermarket, it’s half the amount of parking, it has no gas station, and it’s a beautifully designed building. DEVELOPER ERNIE POMERLEAU admits several companies interested in relocating to the area have already approached him. The new office building would occupy 5 of the 8 acres that comprise the site, with the remaining 3 acres — which are part of the Superfund site — deeded to the city for conservation purposes. The city would not accrue additional financial liability for accepting that parcel, according to Michael Monte, director of the Economic Community and Development Office. Monte notes there are numerous restrictions on how the usable, 5-acre portion of property can be redeveloped. For instance, the YMCA could not relocate there, as some have suggested, nor can there be residential dwellings or daycare centers so close to a Superfund site. Nonetheless, Monte touts all the usual benefits for the Pomerleau proposal, including additional property taxes, zoning fees, building fees, new jobs and an increase in much-

wetlands. In 1998, the EPA proposed capping the contaminated sediment and soil; the work was finally completed in 2003. Since then, however, several “breakouts” of coal tar have been discovered in the canal, most recently in spring 2005. “This isn’t anything new. It’s under control and very contained,” the EPA’s Lupino says, adding that none of the contamination has reached the lake or poses a significant health risk to humans. Though there now appear to be more contaminants, and they’re more mobile than the EPA initially thought, Lupino says, “It’s not a big deal, or a sky-is-falling kind of thing . . . We’re just tweaking the existing remedy to account for new knowledge of the system.” For his part, Pomerleau is making doubly sure that all his plans are in accordance with state and federal requirements. As he puts it, “Anytime you’re surrounded by a Superfund site, you’d better dot all your ‘i’s and cross your ‘t’s.”

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

World of Make-Believe

n several stories over the last week, from sports to academics to politics, acting has played an important role in providing some unusual spin. We saw it last week when the four favorites to win the first Tour de France in the post-Lance Armstrong Age were banned from the starting line. They are under investigation for taking illegal performance-inhancing drugs. We saw it Saturday in the World Cup matches, with Portugal beating England in an overtime shootout after their two-hourlong 0-0 tie. Later, France upset Brazil 1-0. We never before realized how much soccer players fake personal-contact injuries in hopes of getting the referee to fall for the ruse and blow his whistle. We never appreciated until now that faking is such an important part of the world’s number-one game! But what works on the soccer pitch does not work as well when it comes to government-funded scientific research. Last week a once-heralded University of Vermont researcher of the 1990s stood in federal court before Judge William Sessions and begged for mercy. Former UVM College of Medicine prof Eric Poehlman, Ph.D., was at the top of the research game in 2000 when a courageous young lab technician and UVM grad named Walter DeNino challenged the professor’s accuracy and honesty. In a seemingly groundbreaking UVM study on menopause, Poehlman had changed the numbers to show that menopause led to muscle loss and increased weight. He touted the benefit of hormone replacement treatment. DeNino blew the whistle. The Crooked Professor went on defense and filed a secret, sealed lawsuit in federal court to stop the investigation. Poehlman, who had received more than $2 million in federal research grants, accused the young lab tech of lying. Judge Sessions reminded Dr. Poehlman of that earlier encounter last week as defense attorney Bob Hemley asked for the court’s mercy. Hemley described the Crooked Professor as “a man who in every way you can imagine has come to understand he did something wrong.” Really? “Explain his conduct in coming before this court and lying,” demanded Sessions. “It was inexcusable,” answered Hemley. When it came his time to beg, Dr. Poehlman told the court he had been in “an academic position where the amount of grants you held determined your academic worth.” The Crooked Professor said he wanted to be looked at as a competent scientist. “I was on a treadmill and I couldn’t get off,” he said. Judge Sessions sentenced Poehlman to serve a year and a day in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons. It brings UVM the distinction of having the first university researcher in the nation to be sentenced to jail for taking federal dollars to fund fabricated research. It’s also brought DeNino unwanted notoriety. Just “Google” his name on the web, he told us in court, and you’ll find he’s been

solidly labeled as a “whistleblower.” He’s right. It’s a reputation that might play well in Hollywood, but not so well in the research job market. Nonetheless, DeNino told us he’s scheduled to enter UVM’s College of Medicine in August. Cardiac research is the path he’s following. If UVM isn’t paying his medical school tuition, it damn well should. Torti’s Two Hats — Speaking of fakery, it’s been quite humorous to listen to the outrage being expressed lately by the Jim Douglas administration and Secretary of Natural Resources Tom Torti. Contrary to the best-laid plans, word leaked out last week that Torti, the state’s top environmental cop, had been picked to be the new president of the state’s largest politically active pro-business organization, the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce — www.vermont.org. Tommy Terrific will replace retiring LCRCC prez-extraordinaire Wayne Roberts. Big shoes to fill. But then, Torti does know Montpelier, doesn’t he? The 27-year state employee first hit the radar as commissioner of Buildings and General Services under Gov. Howard Dean. Gov. Douglas elevated him to environmental secretary a year and a half ago. Tom’s a “nice guy,” and also serves as an Essex selectman, but many questioned his environmental credentials. A look at its website shows the LCRCC wears its politics on its opening page. Environmentalists have long opposed, for example, the construction of the Chittenden County Circumferential Highway. They’ve successfully blocked further construction in federal court, forcing the state to seriously look at alternatives. But Tom Torti, Vermont’s chief environmental officer, will be fighting for the connector’s construction when the legislative session starts in January. In fact, his mug will be in the official “Stud Book” with a few hundred other registered Statehouse lobbyists. Last week the Vermont Public Interest Research Group put out a bulletin. “It’s bad enough that the Douglas administration’s top environmental official in charge of protecting Vermont’s air, water, natural resources and human health has negotiated this deal with the Chamber of Commerce in secret,” stated the VPIRG release, “but Mr. Torti actually wants to stay in his current post for another five months!” Asked about the conflict of interest, or at least the perception of a rather blackand-white conflict of interest, Torti’s current boss Gov. Scissorhands insisted Tommy Terrific will “not be wearing two hats. He will not be removing his current hat until later in the year and [will] put on his new hat in January.” Excuse me, but this is not about hats. This is about perception and about having a nonpartisan environmental chief in Vermont. Torti declined to speak with us this week as the plot thickened. Last week he expressed his anger, noting no one from VPIRG had INSIDE TRACK >> 16A

“the decency” to personally contact him to complain before going public. Not sure if that really matters, does it, Mr. Environmental Secretary? The issue remains. Gov. Douglas’ spokesman unloaded in the same Times Argus article Friday, accusing VPIRG and other environmental critics of pulling a “stunt.” “This stunt by the environmental groups is disgraceful,” Gibbs said. “[Torti] cares deeply about the state, its people and the environment.” On Monday, who rallied to Torti’s defense? None other than lobbyist Joe Sinagra from the Home Builders Association. Sinagra charged that the conflict-ofinterest criticism raised by the enviros shows Vermonters “just how radical their organizations are.” Really? Obviously, the word of Secretary Torti’s politically prominent new job leaked out earlier than he, Douglas and the Chamber wanted it to. But keeping Torti on as Vermont’s top environmental cop until he assumes his new job might require a dictatorship rather than a democracy. Douglas’ Democratic challenger, Scudder Parker, told “Inside Track” this week that Torti’s decision to stay on with the governor’s backing shows “startling bad judgment.” “Tom and the governor should have worked this out in a way that did not create the kind of confusion and the perception that it’s created,” said Parker. He termed it “a failure of administrative management and leadership on Mr. Douglas’ part.” The Douglas administration would be wise to rethink its current stonewalling, and quickly. After all, VPIRG’s Burns pointed out the Douglas administration has already altered its new policy of allowing state workers to use air conditioners while on the job. The recently announced 80-degree threshold for hitting the “on” button was lowered last week to 76 degrees after state workers complained. Bottom line: Every day Torti continues as Vermont’s environmental chief will cost Jim Douglas on the campaign trail. P.S. Interesting press coverage of the Torti conflict-of-interest story. WCAX-TV has ignored it! Gov. Douglas was not even asked the “$64,000 Question” when he appeared on “You Can Quote Me” on Sunday. And The Burlington Free Press also completely ignored Torti’s obvious conflict in an embarrassingly lame editorial that concluded, “Vermont has a reputation as a steward of the land and lakes. The person who leads the Agency of Natural Resources has a big job. Douglas should choose wisely.” Interesting. Power Pact — The $187 million sale of Green Mountain Power, Vermont’s number-two electricity provider, to a $2.5 billion foreign company will take a year to win the required regulatory approvals. OK, so it’s a Canadian compa-

ny — Montréal-based Gaz Metro — but Canada is a foreign country. In fact, the Bush administration wants to treat our oldest neighbor just like Russia or China, and require passports to enter the U.S. from Canadian turf. The goal, apparently, is to protect America from another 9/11. Hey, they could be hiding radioactive material in those hockey pucks, eh? The announcement of the GMP buyout by Gaz Metro caught the eye of Wall Street. Standard & Poor’s issued a credit watch, noting GMP’s lousy BBB bond rating might improve since its financial future suddenly appeared brighter. What the press apparently missed was that S&P also issued a credit watch for Gaz Metro. Only in this case, it was a warning to investors that the purchase of the little electric utility in Vermont could hurt Gaz Metro’s A- rating. Here in Vermont, the fact that Gaz Metro has owned and operated South Burlington-based Vermont Gas Systems for the last 20 years does help to ease the terrorism concerns among the locals. Bottom line: Get used to Canadian control, folks, because there’s only going to be more of it. Gaz Metro’s vice-president of finance and business development told the Montréal Gazette the other day that the GMP purchase is but the first little power ornament on Gaz Metro’s soon-to-begrowing New England chain. “There are 21 different suppliers in Vermont alone, in a state with a population of 600,000,” said Pierre Despars. “There’s a need to consolidate and find synergies that can be shared with customers, and Green Mountain Power will play a role in making that happen.” Hey, they’re all ice hockey fans. It could be worse. Inconvenience? — Not at all for the 80 viewers who dropped into Burlington’s Roxy Theater Sunday for the early 1 o’clock show. Rather large crowd for such a warm, sunny summer day. But An Inconvenient Truth is a must-see even if you know the story line, i.e., that planet Earth is rapidly warming up from the greenhouse gases of our modern industrial, fossil-fuel-burning age, and the result will dramatically alter life as we know it. The Al Gore in the movie is an Al Gore we’ve never seen before. Let’s hope he hasn’t arrived too late. The Brit Factor — Everybody in Vermont with a TV or radio has watched and heard Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rich Tarrant’s commercials ad nauseam. The rags-to-riches St. Michael’s College grad is a cofounder of IDX, a company that was highly successful at developing and marketing software that handles billing and scheduling for doctors and hospitals. An obvious part of Richie Rich’s strategy is to turn his success in the medical software trade into health-care expertise voters can count on. In his current campaign commercial, Tarrant is asked what he

BIG 2x6-Stowe062106

thinks about â€œthe single-payer system where the senior citizens get left behind?â€? An obvious loaded question. â€œLeft behind?â€? Everybody knows the frontrunner, Independent U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, has long advocated a single-payer approach. Itâ€™s one reason the private, profitable health insurance industry despises him. In his TV commercial Tarrant responds by saying, â€œWell, a government-run system like the one supported by my opponent clearly discriminates against the elderly over time. In England, you have a 42 percent greater chance of dying from cancer than you do in the United States.â€? What? How can that be? And if it were true, wouldnâ€™t people be fleeing England by the boatload? We contacted Tarrant headquarters and inquired about the basis for their British cancer-death claim. Tarrant campaign manager Tim Lennon emailed us a small 1996 chart published in 1999, from a study paid for by the Adam Smith Institute. ASI, founded in 1977, describes itself on its website as â€œBritainâ€™s leading innovator of free-market economic and social policies.â€? Check it out at www.adamsmith.org. According to the chart provided, the UK had 275 cancer deaths per 100,000 versus 194 deaths in the United States. Thatâ€™s 42 percent more, noted Mr. Lennon. However, the Sanders campaign said we should hold our horses. Spokesman Paul Hortenstine accused the Tarrant campaign of â€œusing crude statistics from the Adam Smith Institute, which is basically the Heritage Foundation of the UK.â€? Tall Paul from Bernie Land forwarded more recent death-rate statistics from the World Health Organization. WHOâ€™s cancerdeath statistics are â€œage-standardized,â€? i.e., a weighted average of the age-specific mortality rates. And WHO found the cancer death rates in the UK and the US to be a whole lot closer: 142.7 per 100,000 in the UK versus 134.4 in the United States. Thatâ€™s only about a 5 percent difference. Check it out here: www.who.int/ whosis/en/index.html. Not sure what all this means, especially since neither Richie Tarrant nor Bernie Sanders smokes cigarettes. Incidentally, the same chart Tarrant used to â€œproveâ€? his cancer death-rate claim in England also indicates the U.S. spends 17 times more on cancer treatment than does the UK. And according to WHO, when it comes to deaths from cardiovascular diseases, the UKâ€™s single-payer system beats the U.S. â€” 181.8 deaths per 100,000 there to 187.8 in the land of health insurance for profit! When it comes to candidate Tarrant and health care, it appears to be all in the software, eh? m

All over the place, bud — including maybe in your lungs. For a long time conventional wisdom had it that tire particles were too coarse to do much harm and simply wound up as one more component of urban grit. Now we know better. Asthma and latex allergies have been on the rise in recent years, and some think tire dust is why. Tires are a mix of materials, mostly synthetic and natural rubbers but also including carbon black, oil, sulfur, steel and chemicals added as antioxidants, strengtheners and fillers. They also contain varying amounts of potentially hazardous metals such as zinc, nickel, chromium, cadmium and copper. As you drive, and especially as you corner and brake, your tires continually abrade against the road surface, and to some extent wear away just due to flexing as they roll along. This tire wear takes the form of rubber left on the road, heavy particles that quickly settle on the road and shoulder, and lighter particles that become airborne. The rubber in car tires is typically about 40 percent natural — i.e., made from latex; there’s even more latex rubber in truck tires. Putting a fine dust of late x i nto t he ai r is a s er iou s c o n c ern to t hose wit h latex allergies. Somewhere from 1 to 6 percent of the U. S. po p ul a ti on h as s o me sen si t iv it y t o l at ex , whi ch can take the form of rashes, inflammation, asthma and worse. (Health-care workers who are constantly exposed to latex in the form of gloves and such have a higher rate of sensitivity, sometimes estimated at 15 percent or more.) While those values sound low and one can take steps to avoid latex exposure, if you live in an area with a lot of road traffic, airborne latex can make your life pretty miserable. Those who aren’t latex-sensitive don’t get a break. Fine rubber particles, whether latex or synthetic, can lodge in your lungs and even enter your bloodstream. The Environmental Protection Agency has a whole category designated for such problematic particles: PM2.5, or particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size. Excessive exposure can lead to reduced lung capacity, bronchitis, asthma, accelerated heart disease and death. One study claims that nearly 60 percent of airborne tire particles are small enough to be easily inhaled. I’ve heard tell that radial tires produce a finer dust that’s more hazardous than what’s produced by older-style bias-ply tires; while that’s plausible given tire construction differences, it’s difficult to know for sure.

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Dear Cecil, As tires wear out, rubber is presumably deposited on the road surface. Where is all that rubber? R.D. Morgan, Camden, South Carolina

Tire dust that doesn’t make it into the air can be problematic as well. Originally deposited on the pavement, it gets washed by rain into lakes and streams. Environmental scientist Alison Draper has shown that chemicals leaching out of tire dust can kill water organisms such as algae, plants, minnows and snails. An Italian study found that the organic components of tire debris were toxic to frog embryos and to cultured human lung and liver cells. How much rubber gets worn off of tires? Estimates vary widely — much depends on driving habits, vehicle weight, the type of road surface and the type of tire. In the U.S., the amount is estimated to be on the order of 650,000 tons per year. A British study finds that about 10 to 20 percent of a tire’s total weight is worn off during its lifetime, which works out to about 58,000 tons a year in the UK alone. Of that, the fraction consisting of those potentially toxic metals I mentioned is surprisingly high — 36 tons of cadmium, more than 1000 tons of copper, and nearly 3300 tons of zinc. Pollution studies in the Los Angeles basin in the 1980s concluded that more than 5 tons of breathable tire dust were released into the atmosphere there each day, and there’s no reason to think that figure’s gone down since. So just because tire dust isn’t accumulating in huge black drifts along the roadside doesn’t mean we can ignore it. What to do? One critical factor that determines how much rubber is lost from tires is inflation. Properly inflated tires create less rolling resistance than underinflated ones, build up less heat, flex less as they roll down the road, and release less latex into the environment. They also last longer and give you better gas mileage. So check your tire pressure next chance you get — not only will you be doing right by the environment, you might save a couple bucks.

Curses, Foiled Again Sheriff’s deputies in Marion County, Ind., quickly identified Rodney Harper, 31, as their bank robbery suspect because not only did a surveillance camera show him committing the crime, but he also dropped his check-cashing card, phone bill and birth certificate at the scene. The surveillance videotape shows the identification assortment falling onto the floor when the suspect pulled his gun. “He actually came to the bank to rob the bank with his birth certificate,” Capt. Phil Burton said. “When they actually rob a bank with their ID, which they leave for us, that’s very helpful.”

A conservation group, Frog Watch, is encouraging people to recycle the hundreds of thousands of toads culled each year by turning them into “toad juice.” A fertilizer company in Darwin produced the first batch of toad juice from 440 pounds of dead toads.

When Pension Plans Fail Japan’s prisons are becoming a haven for senior citizens, who represent the fastestgrowing group of lawbreakers in the country. The Washington Post reported that the number of people 70 and older charged with crimes, many of them first-time offenders, doubled from 2001 to 2004, to 21,324. The senior wards at some prisons offer many private rooms and accommodate special dietary and physical needs. According to Hiroshi Shojima, professor of criminal psychology at Fukushima University, Japan’s prisons “are spotlessly clean and generally free of violence. If you are a lonely and struggling old person, that atmosphere can be tempting.”

Opportunity Knocks After giving $300 to informant Robert S. Bridges, 29, so he could buy 7 grams of cocaine from a drug dealer that they planned to arrest at the dealer’s home in Elgin, Ill., members of the police gang crime unit waited for more than 90 minutes for Bridges to step outside. Finally, they raided the house but found no dealer and no money, only Bridges, smoking the cocaine. They recovered 2.8 grams of the drug.

According to a drought order granted to Sutton and East Surrey Water to restrict the “non-essential use” of water, the clowns from Zippo’s Circus aren’t allowed to squirt each other with water from plastic flowers in their buttonholes, either. “No one else is allowed to fill buckets from a hose in their back garden and throw them over each other,” water company official Stuart Hislop told the Daily Telegraph, “so why should the clowns?”

Café Grande Coffee makes some women horny, according to researchers who found that caffeine affects parts of the brain that govern sexual arousal. Tests on rats showed that females given caffeine before mating with a male partner were more likely to hurry back for a second session than those who were not. “We found that the alteration of behavior in female rats was not merely an increase in activity that they couldn’t control,” said psychologist Far Guarraci, who led the study at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. “The behavior was specifically directed at a sexually active partner, a male rat, rather than at a social partner, a female rat.”

shoulda remembered to take my ID. I guess I forgot how strict they are in Burlington. I got my girlfriend back at the bar, trying to hold my spot.” The man sitting beside me had spiky black hair, coffee-colored skin, Buddy Holly eyeglasses and a smile that wouldn’t quit. He struck me as dorky, self-assured and robustly friendly all at the same time. Having known him for all of three minutes, I found this to be a winning amalgam of traits. We were returning to his hotel so he could grab his driver’s license, his ticket to any downtown bar. “I take it you’ve spent time in Burlington?” I asked. “Four years, my friend — St. Mike’s, 1997 to 2001. I’m up here this weekend for our fifth-year reunion. My name’s Manuel, by the way.” “Jernigan,” I said, and we shook on it. “Now it makes sense. I was wondering why the town seemed overrun with St. Mike’s alumni. And they have these reunions only on the five- and 10-year marks? That’s funny — it feels like they take place every year.” Manuel smiled, and I could tell he was stifling a chuckle. “Well, you know,” he replied graciously, “any given year can be the fifth, tenth or 15th anniversary

“You all set? You got the ring, the speech, the location? This is all crucial, you know.” depending on what year you graduated.” “Oh, duh!” I laughed, mentally smacking myself on the forehead. “Sometimes I wonder how I remember to breathe.” “C’mon, man,” Manuel said, laughing along. “It is a little confusing.” “Not really, brother, but thanks for the cover.” Cruising down South Winooski, I took note of my ambivalent feelings towards the extra-wide bike lanes that have begun to appear throughout the city. I’m pro-biking for all the politically correct reasons — though, for personal use, I’m awaiting a bike that doesn’t require actual pedaling. On the other hand, I prefer the streets all to myself. Yup, I’m that selfish. “Man, it’s awesome being back in Burlington,” Manuel said. “I really enjoyed my college years. I don’t know what happened to my favorite bars, though. The Blarney Stone, Last Chance and that funky place over on King Street — oh, yeah, the Chickenbone. They’ve all bit the dust.” “Yup, things change,” I observed, brilliantly. “So, what you been up to since graduating?” “I’m teaching at a Catholic high school in Portland, Maine.”

“That’s great, man. Didja grow up there?” “Not exactly. I grew up on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, what they call ‘Alphabet City.’ I’m a Guatamican, man. My mom was from Guatemala, and my dad was Dominican. He caught a lot of prejudice when he migrated here. Dominicans tend to be quite black.” “God bless America,” I said wistfully. “So, you’re, like, second-generation?” “Well, I always mix that up, but I was born in New York City, so whatever generation that makes me.” “Do you ever get down to the Apple anymore?” “Yeah, on a regular basis. I inherited an apartment on Avenue C from my folks when they retired to the Dominican Republic. They bought it for a song when it went co-op in the ’80s. Now it’s worth a small fortune. I’m really lucky.” “What, do you rent it out?” “I do, but not close to market value. I let various relatives and friends stay there when they first arrive in the country. It seems like the right thing to do.” We pulled up to the Smart Suites, and Manuel was in and out in less than five minutes. He plopped back into his seat and said, “I wouldn’t need to show a license if I didn’t have this big baby face.” “Quit complaining, man,” I said. “Before long, they’ll be ID-ing me with my AARP card. And I got the cutest little baby face, too, if you haven’t noticed.” “How could I not?” he said, and we both cracked up. We made our way back downtown and, stopping at a traffic light, I asked, “So how did you end up there in Maine?” “A woman, what else?” Manuel replied with a big smile. “My girlfriend is a doctor and got a position at the Maine Medical Center in Portland. In fact, this is a big weekend for me. I’m going to ask her to marry me tomorrow.” “I guess it’s a big weekend for you,” I said, as I pulled to a stop in front of Nectar’s and shifted into park. “You all set? You got the ring, the speech, the location? This is all crucial, you know.” “Oh, I’m as set as I’ll ever be. I’ve been planning this for months.” As Manuel paid me the fare I asked, “Why here?” “It couldn’t be anyplace else,” he replied. From the steady look in his eyes, I could tell he had no doubts — not just about this weekend, but about his choice of a life partner. “We met at St. Mike’s, and that’s where we fell in love. So I’m hoping Vermont will work a little of its magic for me one more time.” “Hackie” is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION

So Sue Me

ity the poor Floridian, awakened by the sound of his door cracking off the hinges. Freed from restraint by his state’s “Castle Doctrine Law” — SB-436, which allows a person to use deadly force to protect his home, business or occupied vehicle from an intruder — the homeowner reaches for his .45, blows the stranger away, then inspects the fallen body only to discover its blood is spilling over a police badge. Pity the poor dead cop, licensed by the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Hudson v. Michigan to kick in said door. In that case, decided on June 15, the Court eviscerated the “knock and announce” rule, which required officers with a search warrant first to shout “Police!” then to wait 15 to 20 seconds before barging in. If they didn’t, they triggered the “exclusionary rule,” established in 1961, and forfeited any incriminating evidence they might turn up. Booker

If the cops make a mistake — say, a SWAT team crashes your 5-year-old’s birthday party and fails to find cocaine in the ice cream cake — no big deal, says Scalia. Hudson, the plaintiff, said the cops didn’t wait; the cops admitted as much. But the Supremes ruled the evidence admissible anyway. In the majority opinion, Antonin Scalia — joined by John Roberts, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — called the exclusionary rule a disproportionately “massive remedy” for what may be minor police errors. Roberts named it a “get-out-of-jailfree card” for defendants. Now, pity the poor judge charged with deciding whether to send the hypothetical Floridian to fry “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

for the capital crime of killing a police officer, or to let him walk for legitimately defending his fortress, family and $5000 plasma-screen TV. Commentators have noted that two legal principles, both dear to conservatives, are barreling toward each other like bullets at equal and mutually destructive velocity. One bullet is the idea that interpretations of the Fourth Amendment — protecting “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” — have gone too far in shielding criminals and their defenders and crippling the police and prosecution. The bullet moving from the opposite direction is the perceived liberty, an amalgam of the Fourth and the Second Amendments, to defend yourself and your property from intrusion by the government — and, if you ask the National Rifle Association, which sponsored the Florida law and a raft of similar bills in other states, to defend yourself from anyone else, and by any means necessary. Hudson radically trivializes the Fourth Amendment. Scalia dismissed knock-andannounce, whose roots extend to 13th-century England, as the mere “right not to be intruded upon in one’s bedclothes.” The Florida law stretches the Fourth, and its authors — like gun proponents generally — exaggerate the scope of the Second Amendment. Exalting “the right of the people to keep and bear arms,” they conveniently drop the adverbial clause preceding it: “A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State . . .” It’s hard to see a well-regulated Militia in a state full of yahoos pointing Kalashnikovs at everyone who eyes their SUVs as if they might want to climb in. But if these two precedents are legally at odds, psycho-politically they look remarkably similar. Basically, Hudson says to the citizen: So sue me. If the cops make a mistake — say, a SWAT team crashes your 5-year-old’s birthday party and fails to find cocaine in the ice cream cake — no big deal, says Scalia. The injured party can bring a civilrights suit against the police. Hudson’s attorney noted that such suits are almost always dismissed because of government immunity, and over the last

30 years none has yielded more than a dollar in token damages. But enjoy the cake — because, as one letter-writer to The New York Times put it after the Supremes’ ruling, if you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. (This person is obviously not black or Muslim). So sue me is the white-collar version of the principle behind the Florida law: Shoot first. Let God sort ’em out. It’s the same attitude that informs the Bush Doctrine of preemptive military strike, the same that gives the President leave to tap your phone or lock you up at Guantánamo because you look like a “terr-ist” to him — then dares you to tell him he can’t. This stance is underscored by a belief that the world is divided into bad guys (the Criminal, the Terrorist, the Islamist — in short, Them) and good guys (My Family, the Police, the President, America — Us). The bad guys, having chosen to live outside the law, can’t expect the law’s consideration. Because if they aren’t doing anything bad at the moment, they’re plotting to, or about to any minute now. Florida’s SB-436 presumes a shooter’s “reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or bodily injury” when he hears the doorknob rattle. The good guys are good even when they’re doing what would ordinarily be construed as bad. The Florida law protects our shooter from criminal prosecution or civil litigation brought by the would-be intruder, or his estate. “In short,” declares one pro-gun blogger, SB-436 “gives rights back to law-abiding people and forces judges and prosecutors who are prone to coddling criminals to instead focus on protecting victims.” In case you’re confused, the victim in the case described above would be the guy with the smoking gun, not the guy growing stiff on the foyer floor. This attitude is at once morally cavalier and selfrighteous, aggressive and victimized. It assumes that might makes right, as long as might can get away with wrong. It calls itself law and promises order. And, while confidently defining the good guys and the bad, it makes everybody fear everybody, and foments a war of all against all. m

ebecca Gutwin doesn’t seem like a “pink” person. Her T-shirt, which reads “William Smith ’03-’04 Crew,” is gym-class gray — and soggy after a morning run. Her curly, brown hair is tied in a no-nonsense ponytail. But the laces in her Adidas are the hue of Pepto Bismol; the Swiss Army knife attached to her key chain? Hot pink. These are not just girly accessories, they’re symbols: At 21, Gutwin is a breast cancer survivor. And pink is the “team” color of the Komen Race for the Cure. If all goes well, Gutwin, who is 6 feet tall, will finish first among the “survivors” — for the fourth year in a row — in the upcoming Vermont-New Hampshire race in Manchester. The Williston resident never expected to find herself running competitively, never mind winning the race; she says loathed the experience of running cross-country and track at Champlain Valley Union High School. But then, she also never expected to find herself with breast cancer at age 18. Gutwin was a freshman at William Smith in Geneva, New York, and brand-new to the crew program when she discovered a lump in her chest in the fall of 2002. She says she did not conduct regular self-exams, and found it purely by accident one day. “At first I thought, ‘That’s pretty weird,’” Gutwin says about the peach-pitsized lump. “But I didn’t get too alarmed, because I figured it was just something benign.” But Gutwin’s primary care physician recommended she see a specialist. So during her winter break, she went to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington for a biopsy. “The specialist took the lump out and let me see it — that was pretty neat,” Gutwin recalls. “Then a few days later she called — my mom answered the phone — and said it was a malignant tumor.” Though Gutwin can’t remember the word “cancer” being mentioned that day, the news sunk in when she learned the traditional treatment for her condition. Called a phyllodes tumor, hers was a rare type of breast cancer that develops in the connective tissue of the breast rather than in a duct or lobule. A phyllodes tumor typically calls for a full mastectomy. “I was 18,” says Gutwin. “I was, like, ‘They’re gonna do what to me?’” Then Gutwin’s family discovered a Dartmouth Medical Center doctor who was conducting a clinical trial treating such tumors with connective-tissue removal and radiation therapy for six and half weeks. Gutwin wanted to continue crew and her regular college life, so she opted for the experimental study. “If I had gotten the mastectomy, it would have interfered with my rowing,” she says matter-of-factly. In March 2003, after her second surgery to remove connective tissue, Gutwin began radiation. With five academic courses and twice-daily crew practices, she began her days at 5 a.m. and returned to her room long after dinnertime. Instead of going to lunch, Gutwin went to radiation, relying on her assistant coach and a driver from the cancer clinic for the 30-minute rides to and from treatments. “The driver must have been 80; he was so cute,” she says. “If I would arrive not smiling or tired, he’d say, ‘It’s OK, it’ll be over soon.’” Left alone behind the thick door of the radiation room, Gutwin imagined dipping her oar in the river. “It was scary, but the thing that definitely helped me the most was rowing,” she says. “I never seriously entertained the possibility that I was dying.” Crew season and radiation ended around the same time, and Gutwin decided to spend the summer before her sophomore year training for a rowing career. She also decided to help raise money for cancer research and entered the Race for the Cure in “Fit to Live” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Sarah Tuff, email tuff@sevendaysvt.com.

Manchester, where breast-cancer survivors are identified by a bright-pink hat and T-shirt. Top finishers are awarded special prizes. But Gutwin arrived late and discarded the T-shirt because it was too big for her. So when she crossed the finish line — first — she wasn’t recognized as a survivor, and her results were lost. “It was a big mess!” says Gutwin, who explained her case to organizers and eventually won a silver bracelet for her victory. She returned to Manchester in 2004, once again rejecting the too-big T-shirt, and once again winning the race. Last year, Gutwin took her third first place — finally, wearing a pink tee that fit. During her post-cancer years, Gutwin became an ESPN Academic All-American athlete and a top oarswoman. Last spring she graduated summa cum laude from William Smith. Most importantly, Gutwin has been cancer-free for three and a half years. Now she has turned her energy to finding a job — the math major is applying for a post at the National Security Agency in Maryland. Though she realizes the cancer could someday make a return appearance, “I’m not so scared now,” she says. The 2-inch scar on her chest and the pink accessories are the only reminders of what Gutwin went through at age 18. “Then I go to the race,” she notes, “and it’s recognition of this pretty big event in my life.” The annual competition, she says, is a positive affirmation of survivorship, and provides a chance to

share awareness of breast-cancer risks among younger women. “Breast cancer is a very real thing for a lot of people,” she says. “In everyday life, though, people my age don’t know what to do about it.” Gutwin has mixed feelings about winning the Race for the Cure. “It’s neat to have the opportunity, to be able to race in the survivor division, and to have a solid, tangible goal of first place,” she says. “But at the same time, I feel like my cancer diagnosis and treatment was not that extensive compared to some other people’s; I really am very impressed by women who go through a mastectomy and chemotherapy and are still OK.” Though she hasn’t yet met anyone close to her age there, fellow racers seem to be gaining on Gutwin; last year a woman in her fifties almost beat her. “Now,” she says, “I’m looking out for the competition.” Running in the Race for the Cure is an affirmation of how athleticism allowed Gutwin to conquer a much tougher battle, and how cancer has made her a better athlete. And rowing, she notes, not only helped to distract her thoughts but also to loosen her muscles after surgery. Both crew and cancer, Gutwin adds, taught her how to power through pain. “In high school cross-country my body hurt, and I was afraid of that feeling, and I didn’t see any advantage to pushing myself through it,” she says. “Now I find a lot of value in challenging myself and doing things I didn’t think I could do or wanted to do.” m

Retaining Water Vermont dips into a turbulent debate over groundwater protection

E STORY

KEN PICARD Canadian water-rights activist Maude Barlow will speak at the University of Vermont’s Campus Center Theater on July 12 at 6 p.m., and again at Hildene in Manchester on July 13 at 5 p.m. Info, 223-2328.

very summer for the last several years, some residents of Williston have turned on their faucets and no water has come out. In Cleveland, Ohio, last month, the mayor proposed raising the rates on municipal water by 80 percent, inspiring a flood of criticism. And in Detroit, Michigan, a few years ago, more than 40,000 people — mostly elderly, poor and disabled — had their water shut off by the city because they couldn’t afford to pay their bills, prompting Social Services to take some of their children away. If you think the coming global water crisis will only affect thirdworld countries, guess again. That’s the message from international water activist Maude Barlow. Often called “the Ralph Nader of Canada,” she is the national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, that country’s largest citizen-advocacy group. Barlow is also co-founder of the Blue Planet Project, which is fighting to stop the commercialization of public water supplies. As coauthor of the book Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop Corporate Theft of the World’s Water, she sees this fight as “the preeminent human-rights issue of our time.” “I use the term ‘blue gold’ because water is absolutely the gold of this century,” Barlow tells Seven Days in a recent phone interview from her Ottawa home. “Those who control it won’t only be financially wealthy, but will also be very powerful politically. This will be the asset to have.” Barlow’s dire prediction — that in the 21st century, water will be what oil was in the 20th, a commodity worth fighting over — sounds like

something out of a Mad Max movie. But she contends that signs of the coming crisis are already evident throughout the world, from Burlington to Beijing. Next week, she’ll be in Vermont urging citizens to act quickly to protect our public water supplies from pollution, depletion and corporate exploitation. Barlow’s visit coincides with the enactment of H.294, Vermont’s groundwater management act, which took effect July 1. This landmark legislation, which was signed by the governor in May, marks Vermont’s first step toward determining exactly where we stand in relation to that precious natural resource beneath our feet. Among other things, the law requires water users who withdraw more than 50,000 gallons per day to obtain a groundwater permit from the state. It also sets up a task force to take a comprehensive look at Vermont’s groundwater issues, including the creation of a statewide groundwater management program, mapping the state’s underground aquifers, and searching for funding streams for that project, which could cost an estimated $10 million. The task force is expected to begin meeting within the next month and issue a preliminary report of recommendations to the legislature by January. The most controversial business of the task force likely will be the ensuing debate over whether Vermont should declare its groundwater resources in the “public trust,” as states like Maine and New Hampshire have done. Essentially, this would mean that Vermont’s water supplies are not owned by one

person or corporation but belong to everyone. Other large consumers of water, from ski areas and agriculture to water bottling plants, would need to be weighed against the public’s interest. Currently, about 50 percent of all water used in the United States comes from underground aquifers; in Vermont, that figure is closer to 66 percent, according to the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. Barlow explains that the use of groundwater has increased dramatically in recent years due to the pollution of surface waters that are now undrinkable. The result has been a phenomenon she calls “groundwater mining.” Unlike traditional notions of wells, in which water is removed and replenished in a sustainable hydrological cycle, groundwater mining involves the use of enormous industrial bores that drill deep into the aquifer and extract water faster than nature can replenish it. Once the aquifer is pumped dry, the “water hunters,” as Barlow calls them, move on to another source. A disturbing example of groundwater mining can be found in America’s breadbasket. The Oglala Aquifer is an enormous underground reservoir that lies beneath eight Midwestern states. Spanning 173,000 square miles, it provides drinking water and irrigation to one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. But as Barlow explains, about 200,000 pumps are now operating on the Oglala Aquifer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The U.S. Geological Survey has determined that parts of the Oglala Aquifer are being drawn down at a rate 14 times

faster than nature can replenish it. The water shortages now being experienced in vast portions of North America are not the result of cyclical drought, Barlow explains, but are a direct result of this kind of unsustainable water usage. “We are in serious crisis in huge parts of the United States,” she says. “There isn’t a place that isn’t going to have to deal with this problem in the next 20 years.” It’s hard to envision Vermont’s wells and aquifers running dry, especially in one of the rainiest seasons on record. But it’s important to remember that little is known about Vermont’s aquifers — how large they are, how much water they contain, what condition they’re in and how quickly they’re being depleted. Jon Groveman is water program director for the Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC). He points to recent water problems in Williston as a prime example of why Vermont needs to get a “holistic look” at our groundwater resources. In Williston, the rapid growth of subdivisions, particularly those that were never connected to the public water system, has resulted in increasing demands on the aquifers. As a result, many newer homes began experiencing problems with their water, not only during droughts but every summer. Some homeowners have drilled new wells, at a cost of thousands of dollars, while others have pushed to be connected to the municipal water system. Nevertheless, problems remain. “That’s a great example of how we have a lot of water in Vermont, but the aquifer system is really fractured

and site-specific,â€? Groveman explains. â€œIn this area of Williston, thereâ€™s only a limited amount of aquifers in the bedrock and theyâ€™re being over-tapped right now.â€? But Barlow points out that future water fights wonâ€™t just be fought over growth and overuse. A major concern for water-rights activists is the â€œcommodificationâ€? of public water supplies by large corporate interests. And water-rights advocates such as Barlow and Groveman say itâ€™s crucial that Vermont act quickly to secure this vital resource â€” before someone else does. Steve Springer is president of Water First!, an ad hoc citizensâ€™ group in Randolph Center. Several years ago, residents there became concerned about plans by the local bottled water company,

Such concerns are very real, Barlow notes, and not just from the bottled water industry. She says a bigger threat is from the big corporate players â€” Veolia, RWE and Suez, also known in the U.S. as United Water â€” who are privatizing municipal water systems. All are Fortune 100 companies that have set their sights on North America, Europe and China. Not surprisingly, China is one of their most alluring markets, as two-thirds of the cities in northern China are now experiencing serious to severe water shortages, and 95 percent of the countryâ€™s groundwater is now polluted, Barlow notes. She says the water problem has become so severe in Beijing that huge tumbleweeds roll through the city. Several weeks ago, Chinese sandstorms were so bad that

ANN TAYLOR, P.T. Vermont Pure Springs, to draw large quantities of water from a nearby spring. As Springer recalls, the company planned to use 18-wheeled tanker trucks to extract about 150,000 gallons of water per hour â€” or about 1 million gallons per week â€” from the spring. Initially, the residents were mostly concerned about issues of public safety and noise, Springer recalls â€” the number and size of the tanker trucks being driven up and down the narrow dirt road, the hours of operation, and so on. And after several failed attempts to scale back the plan through the Randolph development review board and the Vermont Environmental Court, the residents approached the CEO of Vermont Pure and won some concessions. However, when the fight was over, Springer says that the controversy raised a â€œbigger-picture concernâ€? in their minds: What would be the long-term impact of this scale of water extraction on groundwater supplies? â€œThe real issue,â€? Springer emphasizes, â€œbecame the water itself.â€? The residents formed the group Water First! which, along with the VNRC, became a driving force in the passage of the groundwater management bill. It wasnâ€™t so much the threats posed by small and moderately sized businesses that concerned lawmakers, according to Representative Steve Adams (R-Hartland), a lead sponsor of H.294. Rather, it was the fear that a large multinational corporation would try to claim Vermontâ€™s unprotected water supplies as its own. â€œWe felt that Vermont was ripe for the picking . . . from whoever came along with the deepest hole and the longest straw,â€? says Adams. â€œWe didnâ€™t have any laws on the books, and we spend millions of dollars promoting our brand. Who wouldnâ€™t want to put the Vermont seal of quality on their bottled water?â€? Adams points out that without adequate protections in place, a large corporate entity could easily set up shop in Vermont. Then, if the Legislature later enacted a groundwater protection law, that company could sue the state under NAFTA or GATT claiming â€œtheirâ€? natural resource had been expropriated by the state.

traces of the sand showed up in western Canada and the United States. Interestingly, efforts to privatize public water supplies have faced the stiffest opposition in Latin America and the third world. In 1998, the Bechtel Corporation, with support from the World Bank, privatized the municipal water system in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba. Immediately, the company raised water rates by 300 percent â€” residents were even assessed a tax for collecting rainwater in rooftop cisterns. The citizens revolted and the water supply was eventually returned to public ownership. Though Vermonters may believe that such a thing could never happen here, Barlow says itâ€™s essential that laws be enacted to ensure that lifeâ€™s most precious resource not fall into corporate hands. â€œWater is the last straw,â€? she says. â€œItâ€™s the one that we canâ€™t let them breach. Thatâ€™s where weâ€™ll make our stand.â€? m

There is even a mummified or desiccated Indian tied up against the wall, horribly shriveled so that his lips are drawn back from his teeth. It is a foul, shabby place of smoke-darkened board walls, gas flames fluttering dangerously from fixtures without globes, wired-together wooden chairs and deeply scarred tables scattered on a floor more dirt than board. The pretty waiter girls wear only an Indianâ€™s loincloth, and endure whatever fondling or insult to their persons the drinkers give them; they are constantly leading men up the stairs to assignations in the second-floor rooms. As we wedged into the crowd, we were suffocated by the stink of unwashed bodies, rotting teeth, stale alcohol, spoiled food, and worse. Moments after we arrived, a fight broke out in the far corner, although in the press we could not see it, only hear breaking glass and the shouted encouragements of watchers. At the rear, a wide doorway leads into a second room with a raised stage along its back wall, where for the gratification of the customers women are frequently subjected to degradations I can not bear to write of. Through this doorway, we could see what must be the wolfmanâ€™s cage, a canvas-draped rectangle that filled the width of the stage and was pained with a lurid illustration of a werewolf. It was not yet time for the â€œperformance,â€? and with the crowd distracted by the fist-fight, we were able to push through without too much difficulty.

process of some important life passage,” she explains. “The paranormal crisis is nothing less than a paradigm collapse.” Heavy stuff. The “paradigm collapse” in Bones is embodied by a skeleton discovered in the rubble-strewn basement of a Victorian mansion in San Francisco’s elegant Pacific Heights neighborhood. We quickly discover that the deceased was a victim of the massive 1906 earthquake whose corpse was never retrieved. What’s not so clear is what he was. The forensic anthropologist on the case dubs the skeleton the “Wolfman,” because its abnormalities suggest a bizarre hybrid of the human and the canine. Who was this freak of nature? And who were the respectable Victorians who, evidently, kept him hidden in their basement? Though the police have little interest in the Wolfman’s death, Cree is called in on the case covertly by Bert Marchetti, a crusty San Francisco cop who’s a long-time friend of her family. Bert suspects the bones might be connected to other cases, some involving deadly dog attacks, that he’d like to solve before his imminent retirement. Soon Cree finds herself in the

floor. Bones harps on a theme that is the bread-and-butter of all gothic tales: the duality of man. The Wolfman, half human and half animal, comes to represent the precarious stance of the average person between good and evil, empathy and savagery. Lydia says it best when she asks, “If gentleness can reside in so fierce and strange a being [as the Wolfman] . . . cannot we make a similar claim for the worst of us?” As Bert puts it, “It’s the ambiguity that gets you.” In Hecht’s case, though, it’s manufactured ambiguity — creating suspense by doling out information strategically to the reader — that pulls the book down from the level to which it aspires. There is also intermittent reliance on hoary noir clichés, such as the cop who is hardboiled because of a personal loss. The pivotal character of Ray suffers most from Hecht’s need to keep us guessing. When we first meet him, he seems like an unambiguous candidate for the title of the thriller’s resident psycho. Convinced that there’s eternal verity to be found in violence, Ray is the type of guy who spouts New Age-speak

middle of a grudge match between Bert and Cameron Ray, a young radiation technologist who has reasons to see the cop as less than a good guy . . . and who just happens to own three large attack dogs. Meanwhile, the reader is privy to information Cree doesn’t have, both about Ray and about the Wolfman’s history. Large chunks of the novel are devoted to the 1889 journal of Lydia Jackson Schweitzer, onetime resident of the Pacific Heights house. These contain the novel’s most memorable passages, because they plunk us down in the “Barbary Coast” — the name given to the red-light district of San Francisco back when it was “one kick-ass wild town” and had a murder rate 100 times that of today. Hecht meticulously researches his thrillers. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to prepare a 100-year-old skull for cranial reconstruction, you can find out here, in colorful detail.

even as he roughs up someone he thinks is holding out on him. “Why can’t we have a meaningful conversation?” he asks his victim plaintively. Hecht throws us for several loops with this character, not all of them convincing. His meaning is clear — like the Wolfman, like Bert Marchetti, like most of us, Ray has too many layers to be summarily judged. All the same, the net effect of this carefully maintained ambiguity is to lower Cree’s character in our estimation: We wonder why on Earth she’s getting so friendly with a man who likes to make creepy projects with Photoshop and email them anonymously to his enemies. A hybrid itself, half thriller and half literary historical novel, Hecht’s latest doesn’t quite achieve the authentic grittiness of, say, a James Ellroy story; its dark view feels a bit belabored. However, the book’s humanism, best embodied in Lydia, shines through. Bones of the Barbary Coast is a thinking person’s read for those hot summer evenings when a chill down the spine is most welcome. m

he American West has long claimed painter Georgia O’Keeffe, but the Northeast may have played a part in shaping her unique vision. One of the more seldom-seen — and early — paintings in the Shelburne Museum’s current exhibit of her work is a 5-by-8-inch purple, blue and white study of Lake George, dating around 1922. She spent many summers there with her partner, Alfred Stieglitz — photographer, gallery owner and champion of American modernism. Their enduring personal relationship, which included sojourns at the crowded Stieglitz family estate on Lake George, began in 1918. But O’Keeffe reportedly never really liked Lake George, preferring the wideopen spaces she had discovered while teaching in Texas from 1911 to 1915. In a letter to New York Sun art critic Henry McBride, O’Keeffe disclosed that at Lake George, “Everything is very green. Nothing but green. I look around and wonder what one can paint.” Apparently, she decided on flowers. On the other side of the Lake George canvas — O’Keeffe often frugally used both sides — is a painting of two red poppies. The image was a harbinger of what would become O’Keeffe’s bestknown series of paintings. Her close-ups of flowers first appeared around 1923. The paintings in “Simple Beauty” — remarkably, the first O’Keeffe exhibition in Vermont — were gleaned from private collections around the country and from public collections including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Denver Art Museum. The aptly titled show includes 24 simply beautiful still lifes, mystical landscapes and, of course, flowers. The most controversial floral is the 6by-13-inch oil “Iris,” painted in 1926. According to museum staff, the debate is whether the flower portrayed is actually

an iris, or whether it’s really an orchid, as several horticulturally astute visitors have asserted. Freudian interpretations of the works — some have alleged that O’Keeffe meant to symbolize the vagina with her flowers — are not part of the discussion here. The renowned 20th-century artist painted the way she wanted to paint, not as others expected her to, and O’Keeffe’s unpretentious originality partly explains why her work continues to have such resonance; her timeless mastery of color and form explain the rest. Several of O’Keeffe’s more typical, and somewhat larger, floral paintings are also included in the show. Her 29-by-36-inch “Purple Petunia” of 1927, and similarly scaled “Hibiscus with Plumeria,” painted 12 years later, capture luminous waves of purple and yellow, respectively. O’Keeffe brought the plants to life with languid brushstrokes and subtly modulated hues. Her flowers are the opposite of Van Gogh’s — peaceful and joyous, rather than tortured. An artist’s brushstroke is known as his or her signature, and O’Keeffe’s is consistent across genres. “From the Lake No. 3,” a 36-by-30-inch composition from 1924, has long streams of olive green running along a bubbly stream, which extends downward from an ethereal mist at the top of the vertical composition. “The Mountain, New Mexico,” painted in 1931, two years after first declining a Lake George trip in favor of Taos, depicts a hulking, red-orange hillside; the creases in the mountain look as inviting as the folds of a warm blanket. O’Keeffe became known as part of the “Stieglitz circle,” along with other first-generation American modernist painters including Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove and other men. O’Keeffe acknowledged that she benefited from the notoriety of being the only woman

The independent-minded painter was never afraid to launch into new imagery. in the group. In a 1970s documentary she nonchalantly ascribed her success to “luck” and “being in the right place at the right time.” Perhaps so, but her first exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, in 1929, was critically acclaimed. And during the New York World’s Fair of 1937-38, O’Keeffe was proclaimed one of the nation’s “12 outstanding women.” The independent-minded painter was never afraid to launch into new imagery, even after achieving success with a distinctive style. “Bob’s Steer Head,” from 1936, is a cattle skull; it’s

the sole representative in “Simple Beauty” of O’Keeffe’s series of bone paintings, which began in 1930. This one literally renders a bleached skull on a monochromatic tan, 28-by-32inch background. While some critics of the day dismissed the bone paintings — even Stieglitz rejected them — O’Keeffe considered the bones beautiful objects and returned to the subject throughout her life. Eventually critics, including Stieglitz, and the public were won over to her point of view. “Simple Beauty” includes a few non-O’Keeffe works that put her

artistic development into context. An anonymous 1840 landscape, entitled “Crow’s Nest from Bull Hill Looking Toward West Point,” presents abstracted, curved mountains that seem to anticipate the mysticism of O’Keeffe’s flowing New Mexico landscapes. Her 1941 “Turkey Feathers and Indian Pot” portrays a black pot in a shallow, orange-red space; it’s hung next to a Santa Clara blackware pot with a turkey feather laying beside it. A gleaming white highlight on O’Keeffe’s pot is identical to a reflection on the neighboring vessel.

Then there’s “Orchid and Hummingbird,” by Hudson River School painter Martin Johnson Heade, hanging next to O’Keeffe’s “Iris.” The two flowers have similarly large and fleshy petals, and it’s easy to see why some intrepid viewers assume they are the same species. But O’Keeffe drew a five-pointed star on the back of “Iris,” indicating that she thought it was one of her better pieces, and she scrawled “Iris” under the star. She probably knew what she was painting better than contemporary viewers — or Freudian art historians — will ever realize. m

Seven “Gays” For members of Vermont’s GLBTQA community, “pride” is not just about same-sex lovin’

STORY

housands of jubilant revelers will gather in Burlington this weekend for festivities known collectively as “Pride Vermont.” This event and similar celebrations nationwide commemorate a turning point in the struggle for gay rights — on June 28, 1969, police raided a Greenwich Village gay bar called the Stonewall Inn and, instead of being quietly arrested, the patrons rioted. The uprising energized activists everywhere. The culture has changed quite a bit since then. Fifty years ago, people seen kissing or holding hands with someone of the same sex, or people caught wearing an insufficient number of articles of “gender-appropriate” clothing, could have been arrested, charged with indecency, and publicly shamed. Today straight men are publicly shamed — and made over — by five gay men who dish style tips on the popular TV show, “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” But it’s not just straight culture that’s changed; the gay and lesbian community has grown, too, to include people who identify themselves as bisexual, transgendered and queer. There’s even room for supportive straight people who describe themselves as “allies.” Though these GLBTQA people might join forces to march on Church Street and party down afterwards, their community isn’t as monolithic as it might appear to passing motorists. Seven Days sought to illustrate this diversity by interviewing seven gays — er, two gay men, a lesbian, a bisexual woman, a transsexual woman, a queer woman and a straight male ally. We asked them to talk about their lives, their politics, their feelings about same-sex marriage, and Governor Jim Douglas’ recent veto of a bill that would have protected transgender Vermonters from discrimination. We also wanted to know how these folks fit in their community, and whether they feel comfortable calling themselves “queer.” Turns out the only thing they have in common is a shared pride in their differences — and the belief that they deserve the same rights as anybody else.

How she’s working for change: “I belong to the Queer Liberation Army. Lately we’ve been protesting the governor’s veto of the gender identity and expression bill. I’m for the ‘homosexual agenda’ that’s not the white, middleclass we-want-marriage-rights agenda. It’s about genderfucking and polyamory. It’s about trans issues, it’s about femme issues, it’s about bisexual rights. It’s about class, race — everything is tied together.”

CHELSEA SULLIVAN

Name: Chelsea Sullivan Age: 22 Town: Burlington G, L, B, T, Q, A? Queer Sullivan is one of the Pride festival organizers. She works part-time as a babysitter, and will be returning to the University of Vermont in the fall. On Pride: “It’s about visibility and celebration. To me, it’s a day when we can come together and see we’re on the same team. It’s like a family reunion.” On using the word “queer”: “For someone in my generation, queer has no negative connotation. To me, saying lesbian or bisexual, it’s such a box. I like queer because it encompasses everything.” On same-sex marriage: “It’s a tough one. I’m glad people are doing the work. I’m for civil unions for gay people. But the same-sex-marriage issue kind of irks me. Marriage is a heteronormative practice. Some people, that’s all they’re working for, when there are a lot of other issues. It can shut people out of the movement when they don’t want to get married.”

Name: Rachel Frida Siegel Age: 35 Town: Burlington G, L, B, T, Q, A? Bisexual woman Siegel is a dancer and choreographer who works a variety of part-time jobs and volunteers with Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom. She became a single mother by choice two-and-a-half years ago when she gave birth through an anonymous donor insemination. She and her daughter now live with Siegel’s male partner, with whom she is expecting a baby — conceived, she notes, “the old fashioned way.” On using the word ‘queer’: “For me it works really well, especially being a bisexual in a heterosexual relationship. It feels like just the right word for me.” On same-sex marriage: “I’ve never really felt good about the institution of marriage even in my relationships with men. Obviously it’s important to have things be the same in terms of rights and choices, but I don’t really feel like marriage is necessarily the way to have rights like hospital visitation and such. But I’ve sort of softened on it over the years. I was working at Burlington City Hall when the civil-unions law passed, and I saw the first one performed in Vermont. I was ecstatic. I was surprised by how happy I was.”

RACHEL FRIDA SIEGEL AND GERTIE WITH FRIEND

On being in a heterosexual relationship: “I feel like I’m ‘passing.’ I walk around and people just see us as a regular family. There are times when I’m in groups of straight people, I just feel like such an outsider. I feel so nervous. Are they going to say something insensitive because they don’t know about me? It feels very weird. And I love it that people accept me, but it pisses me off. Don’t treat me like I’m normal if you treat my friends like garbage. There’s a part of me that fears that my being privileged is robbing someone else of just living safely.”

On Pride: “I’m always just a little bit embarrassed by the parades. I’ve never been to the one in Burlington, but in New York City it’s gotten out of hand. Some of the people are just reinforcing all the bad stereotypes about us. To me, I’m just a regular guy who happens to like guys. When it gets to people wearing fairy dresses and things like that, I think, oh, man. Newspapers are just waiting to take those pictures, and right-wing groups are just waiting to post them up in their headquarters. And some of those people, I wouldn’t want them teaching my kids.

Most important political issue: “Reproductive rights. It feels like the core of human rights. If people can’t choose if and when to parent, we’re undermined in all aspects of our lives.”

On using the word ‘queer’: “I don’t like it. I don’t think there’s anything queer about us. Why just accept other peoples’ derogatory terms? I’d just as soon not reinforce their mindset. Queer indicates rareness, and there’s just too many of us.”

Name: Jeff Soyer Age: 51 Town: Fairlee G, L, B, T, Q, A? Gay man Soyer works in sales and marketing at Pompanoosic Mills. He calls himself “a gay gun nut” on his popular gun-rights blog, alphec ca.com, and does a weekly web-radio report for the National Rifle Association. Last week, The Guardian UK identified Soyer as part of “the lunatic fringe of the U.S. right.”

I think it’ll change in time, as people get to know us better.” On the governor’s veto of the gender identity bill: “I’ve written two letters to the governor and gotten the same form letter back. What was vague about the language in the bill? He says there were unanswered questions about it, but I find it hard to believe that he didn’t have time to study it. It’s been around for two years.”

Political preference: “I’m a small ‘l’ libertarian. I voted for Bush in 2004, but it was holding my nose.”

On Pride: “I’m probably not going. I’m glad that it exists, but the older I get, the less of a gay warrior I feel like, and the less I desire to be there. I wish they would reinstate the Queer Town Meeting. I would definitely go to that.”

Most important political issue: “For most people, it’s ending this stupid war. For me, it’s always protecting the Bill of Rights. Once you give up your rights, you never get them back.”

Does he miss 135 Pearl, Burlington’s gay bar? “Nope. I’m sorry it went away, but I hadn’t been there in years.”

Most important queer issues: “Long-term, I think we need to face up to the fact that we need institutions that will outlast us to carry on the struggle against injustice. In the immediate, there are two things. We need to work to pass the gender identity bill. The second thing is same-sex marriage.” On family: “My mother and father were supportive of me. My mother didn’t have much of an education, but she understood it was important to be compassionate to people who are different. “I have three children in their forties. After the divorce, they lived with their mother in Texas. She told them to tell strangers that I had died on the operating table. After my mother and father died, they basically withdrew, along with my brother and sister. My mother died in 1998, and I haven’t heard from any of them since then.”

SARAH FLYNN

On discrimination: “Get outside of Burlington and you can experience some difficult situations. I’ve known people who were afraid to stop at gas stations to go to the bathroom. I know people who have lost their jobs, who have been harassed. I know one trans person in Vermont who had to relocate his family to feel safe. I knew a trans person who was actually murdered in Connecticut. I get some name-calling occasionally. I was once threatened by some young thugs at a mall. Unfortunately, some of the worst discrimination I’ve experienced has

What are you working for?: “I want to create a queer, anti-racist movement. I want to make the community center actually a community center. And I want to raise my child in a world that’s not hostile to his mothers.”

On same-sex marriage: “We got a civil union so I could be on my baby’s birth certificate, not because I think the government has any right to sanction any kind of relationship. It’s good that there’s a cause that people who wouldn’t normally fight are fighting for, but I’m sad that it has to be marriage.” On racism: “I think the queer community has stolen momentum from people of color, stolen language from people of color. Use Stonewall, for example. Everybody knows that it was a bunch of transvestites and drag queens of color, but no one ever talks about why the movement is now controlled by straight-acting white guys. It’s another example of how

white people have built momentum, money and resources on the backs of people of color. There are always opportunities for white people to give up leadership roles to people of color. I acknowledge in Vermont it’s hard, but it’s not impossible.

riage talk about how marriage is about protecting the children. If it is about children, we need to stand up and be talking about how it’s just as important to protect the children of gay people as the children of straight people.” On coming out as an ally: “In high school, I was having a conversation with this guy I knew about gays in the military. He was on the anti-gay side. He said, ‘You’ve got to think about the children. They’re having children now.’ I said, ‘I’ve gotta let you in on a little secret here. I’m one of those children. My mom is a lesbian.’ The conversation kind of stopped. But I had a lot of interesting experiences with separatist lesbians, too. There were folks who really didn’t have a lot of trust in men in general. There were women who got to know me through my mother, maybe I changed their attitudes a little bit, changed their ideas of what men can be about.” On being an ally: “Usually the message I get is that if you’re an ally, you’re not part of the gay community. And I can understand where they’re coming from. There’s something fundamental about the gay experience that obviously I can’t experience. But I feel like I’m part of the community.” m

Writing Wrong? Visiting Russian journalists ask tough questions about U.S. media

Friendly On-site Computer Support

he first question came from Stan, and it was as clear as it was disturbing: Can American reporters write as they please, even if it does not please the government? â€œWe have constitutionally guaranteed STORY freedom of the press,â€? was the reply. JON Stan â€” officially Stanislav Kholkin, a MARGOLIS 30-year-old television newsman from Ekaterinburg, near the Ural Mountains â€” knew just enough English to understand the answer, and had enough experience as a Russian journalist not to be impressed. â€œYes,â€? he said. â€œWe have the same.â€? The look on his face and the tone of his voice said what his words did not â€” that by themselves, words in a constitution mean little. Stan was one of 10 Russians â€” six of them journalists â€” who gathered recently in the Vermont Statehouse for an informal discussion with two American reporters. I was one of them. The gathering, arranged by the Montpelier-based Vermont Council on World Affairs, occurred on an interesting day. That morning, The New York Times had printed a story about federal surveillance of international bank transactions despite the objections of the U.S. government. Nobody does that in Russia. But hold the patriotic one-upmanship. The purpose of this little meeting was to talk to the visitors about how American journalism covers political campaigns. The answer is simple: badly. The explanation is more complicated. Governmental interference is only a contributing factor to our content-free campaign coverage. Consider the following: â€˘ In a speech in Phoenix during the 1976 campaign, Jimmy Carter proposed a national health insurance system. Those of us covering the story treated it as part of Carterâ€™s strategy to win the race. We also

treated his speech as a policy proposal. Because finding expert analysts is difficult when youâ€™re on the road, a few of us reporters formed a de facto pool. We called different sources, told each other what weâ€™d found, and wrote stories about both the politics and the policy. â€˘ Fast forward 12 years. In 1988 Michael Dukakis made a major speech on defense policy. Then, to illustrate his commitment to military strength, he strapped on a helmet and took a ride in a tank. He looked like a geek. The geekiness was legitimately part of the story. But it was treated as if it were the whole story. Only the Dallas Morning News told its readers anything about the speech. Political journalism had become theater criticism, not because of government fiat, but because . . . well, because of a lot of things. â€˘ In 2004, liberal Democrat Sumner Redstone, head of Viacom, which owns CBS, endorsed President Bush for re-election. â€œI vote for whatâ€™s good for Viacom,â€? he said. Like Disney, General Electric and the News Corporation â€” which own ABC, NBC and Fox, respectively â€” Viacom needs friendly government regulators who will allow the networks to own more television stations, and to exert more control over the Internet. Hence Redstoneâ€™s endorsement. It would be hard to support the contention that network news coverage has become grossly pro-Republican. It is much easier to contend that it has become grossly inane. Surely part of the inanity is a disinclination to engage in the kind of vigorous journalism that might discomfit the administration. Is this because the correspondents and news executives are deliberately going limp to please the regulators? No, not directly. But people tend to know for whom they work, and what is in their best interests.

grand opening celebration

The combination of intrusive government and capitalist greed cannot explain away the failures of political journalism. Whatever their corporate restraints, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and other newspapers regularly defy and displease the government, and perhaps their own CEOs. Reporters and editors aren’t blameless; consider the televised debates of the 2000

much was a ploy or sincere, whether Candidate B said something slightly different on Tuesday than he did on Monday. Who cares? Political journalism — not all of it, but its dominant strain, especially on TV — has told us voters to choose the candidate with whom we would rather have a beer. This is foolish. Precious few of us are going to have a beer with any of them. We are going to drink with our families and friends while the election winners cast votes and institute policies that might affect us. But to today’s political reporters, writing about votes and policies is not only hard work, it produces “dull” stories. Especially if the reporter doesn’t write well. Far better to stick with “the Narrative.” That’s the term journalists use to describe each election’s unstated but unmistakably present story line. The narrative is established every two or four years by the reporters themselves, usually in a saloon. This is not an elitist conspiracy. It is the inevitable creation of a mindset among people with common interests and a common outlook. The prevailing narrative in 2000 was that John McCain was a “straight shooter,” Al Gore was dishonest, and George W. Bush was a dunce. All three of those conclusions turned out to be false. More importantly, not one of them had any-

thing to do with what the candidates thought about the world. The power of the narrative that year continued well into the general election campaign, and it helped elect Bush. Despite assumptions about a “liberal mainstream media,” the narrative was far more powerful than any reporter’s political leanings. One reporter proclaimed after the first debate that, while Bush “didn’t make a clear, coherent argument for his policies,” he had prevailed because “the bar is higher for Gore, who kind of lost for winning.” A right-wing apologist from Fox News? No, it was Maria Liasson, the chief political correspondent for supposedly substantive, liberal National Public Radio. Judging from their questions, the Russians visiting Vermont this month were less interested in narrative and drama than in issues and the integrity of elections. Their challenge at home is difficult, yet clear: to be brave in the face of possible government oppression. The cost of their success could be their jobs, perhaps even their freedom. For American political reporters, the challenge is gentler but more complex: to resist the content-free shallowness that dominates television news and increasingly encroaches in print media. Reporters won’t pay the cost of their failure. We all will. m

presidential campaign. In one of them, Al Gore lied . . . er, let’s say Al Gore misstated the facts about which federal official he accompanied to which natural disaster. Thanks to an alert corps of political reporters, he did not get away with it. Bush also, uh, misstated facts in the debates. His false assertions concerned taxes and Social Security. He claimed, for example, that putting less money into the Social Security Trust Fund would not mean the fund would have less money. He did get away with it. Why? Mostly because taxes and Social Security are public-policy issues, and in today’s culture, nothing seems less important than public policy. This development has come naturally, not because reporters are fools but because they are products of a culture of frivolity. So they have re-defined their jobs, rendering it unnecessary to do anything as nerdy as arithmetic — to check those Social Security contentions, say. This leaves them free to concentrate on process, drama and candidates’ characters. Free also to collude in making politics post-modernly self-referential. That is, campaigns and campaign coverage are increasingly about, well, the campaign. We’re already seeing it this year in Vermont, where the stories are about who gave how much money to whom, whether Candidate A’s promise not to spend too

Newspaper ownership is also increasingly concentrated, and some of those corporations own TV stations as well, rendering them likewise dependent on the good will of federal regulators. The corporatization of newspapers, combined with Wall Street’s insistence on high stock prices, explains why so many newspapers are skimpier than they used to be. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s profit is $50 million a year, but that was not enough for the corporation that just sold it. Last year, former Los Angeles Times editor John Carroll said he could have prevented layoffs and cutbacks if the paper’s corporate chiefs could live with a 15 percent profit margin. Fifteen percent? That used to be considered magnificent. Not for the Tribune Company. Like other newspapers, the Times has laid off reporters and closed bureaus.

Four on the Floor Theater reviews: Krapp’s Last Tape, Variations on the Death of Trotsky, Rosa’s Funeral and The Wild Goose

here’s no rule stipulating that summer entertainment must be light and fluffy. Yet every year, the season seems to conspire against leveling a critical gaze at the culture. That’s true on the nation’s movie STORY screens, and it’s largely true on Vermont’s ERIK theater stages — witness the number of ESCKILSEN musicals in the calendar. The current production of the Krapp’s Last Middlebury Actors Workshop isn’t one of Tape by Samuel them — not by a long shot. Under the Beckett, and other works. direction of Melissa Lourie, the MAW Produced by ensemble has staged a program of four Middlebury Actors Workshop, short plays offering nothing less substantial than a meditation on life and death. The directed by Melissa Lourie. beauty of the playbill, however, is its balA.R.T. Studio ance of heavy and light, serious and silly. Theater at the Each play is, in its own way, absurd. Hannaford There’s Samuel Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape, Career Center, Middlebury. in which a single character listens obsessively July 6-8, 8 p.m., to a tape-recorded diary entry he made of July 8, 2 p.m. Info, 382-9222. himself 30 years earlier, when he was 39. In David Ives’ popular Variations on the Death of Trotsky, Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky discusses with his wife how improbable he finds the news of his murder — this despite a mountain-climber’s axe protruding from his head. Rosa’s Funeral, by Richard Strand, is essentially a monologue-eulogy delivered by a hippie chick — directly addressing God — on the occasion of finding a dead animal by the roadside. And in John Patrick Shanley’s The Wild Goose, three dead people ponder, among other things, their emotional connections as friends while they intermittently die, revive and carry on with life in the afterlife. While death isn’t the occasion for the story in Krapp’s Last Tape, as it is in the other three works, the play hits the most somber notes. Perhaps because Krapp’s theatrical universe is unmarked by elements of outright fantasy, the absurdity of his situation rings as a verity of the human condition: that pivotal moments of a life-

time, if relived many years later, may inspire regret. Regret isn’t the only emotion Krapp experiences when listening to “box three, spool five,” but the intensity with which he attends to his recorded words suggests a question in the old man’s mind about how he has lived his life. Although no one speaks back to Krapp, he’s engaged in a communion of sorts that borders on ghostly. What also gives the play its distinctly Beckettian touch of the absurd is the extent to which Krapp appears to have withdrawn into his private sanctuary. He discloses into the microphone while making a recording — presumably his last, hence the title — the extent of his hermitage, along with other points that give this play its philosophical weight. The sense of detachment that defines Krapp’s relationship to the rest of the world is enhanced by MAW’s choice of venue, the A.R.T. Studio Theater at the Hannaford Career Center. The unadorned black-box space is appropriate for plays that mine drama not from conventional linear plots but from their conceptual premises — be they introspective or inventively playful. Spare production values evoke a sense, in each play, that the world fades out or drops off at the stage boundaries. This is not to say that acting is upstaged by ideas in these works. On the contrary, Cyrus Moore’s turn as Krapp presents him with the challenge of stringing together nearly an entire play’s worth of reactions to someone else’s words. As a result, his own lines take on great importance for being so infrequent. Moore shines in this role — if shine is the appropriate term for an impressive repertoire of perplexed and just plain annoyed looks. He wrings a wide range of emotion from facial gestures alone and, with a single sigh as he slumps into his chair, conveys a pal-

pable world-weariness. Overall, Krapp embodies this idiosyncratic loner convincingly, and manages to draw a few laughs along the way. The same trio of MAW players handles all roles in the three-character Variations on the Death of Trotsky and The Wild Goose. The former is a cleverness tour de force, both in concept and in language, calling on its players to execute the work with sharp comic timing and sense of irony. Harry McEnerny turns in a nicely understated Trotsky in a comedy written rather broadly in spots â€” thereâ€™s that hatchet in his head, after all. McEnernyâ€™s wry manner contrasts comically with an outrageous predicament he finds at times befuddling and at others borderline pro-

are big: Is yearning the essence of being alive? And sometimes small: Why did you hurt my feelings? Throughout Wild Goose, a sense of genuine friendship gathers among these characters. That bond is strongest between McEnernyâ€™s Jameson and Kiernanâ€™s Renaldo â€” Kiernan plays to humorous effect the more sensitive of two friends both a little down on their luck. The most memorable moment of the lighter works comes from Lefkoe in Rosaâ€™s Funeral. Presiding over an animalâ€™s roadside funeral, wearing cut-off jeans shorts and a T-shirt bearing a heart design, she affects sorrow and hysteria from one beat to the next. This brief piece doesnâ€™t delve too deeply into the meaning of life and

In The Wild Goose, McEnerny, Karen Lefkoe and Mike Kiernan share the burden more or less equally.

sound bites WEST COAST MEETS EAST COAST I just got back from San Francisco this week, where my girlfriend and I gorged on veggie chow and developed blisters from scaling the city’s notoriously steep hills. We didn’t actually get to catch any music, though, just a stand-up comedy show by Dustin Diamond, best known as “Screech” from the “so-bad-it’s-good” TV show “Saved by the Bell.” This was completely unplanned; check my blog, http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate, for a detailed account of Diamond’s bizarre performance. Here’s an interesting coincidence: While sorting through my cluttered inbox, I discovered an email from Ed DuFresne, organizer of the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival. Seems this year’s event — which takes place August 4 & 5 in East Albany, Vermont — features a couple of acts that are making waves in the Bay Area music scene. J-Boogie is among SF’s most talented DJ/producers, mixing dub, soul, hip-hop, classic dancehall, Latin, Afro-beat and house. Talk about covering your bases. The San Francisco Bay Guardian has given props to Boogie’s local radio show, while CitySearch.com named him the burg’s “Best Radio and Club DJ.” At NEKMF, he’ll perform with a hot new backing band, Dubtronic Science. Expect live instrumentation including sitar, flute, sax, drums, percussion and vocals. Leave room for the turntables, dude. Across the bay, Oakland’s Crown City Rockers have emerged as heroes of full-band hip-hop. Their funk-fueled, soul-drenched music is capped by rhymes that are insightful but never preachy. The group, which features keys, bass, drums and an MC, came together in Boston back in the ’90s. Since relocating to the West Coast, they’ve been hailed as one of the genre’s most riveting live acts. Info on the entire lineup — which also includes Gypsy punks Gogol Bordello — can be found at www.NEKMF.com.

CANNONS LOADED Last week, I mused about whether local indie-rockers Fire the Cannons had gone reggae. Well, the answer is a resounding no. It’s probably for the best; I really couldn’t picture vocalist/guitarist Marie Claire with dreadlocks.

They have hit the studio, however. The band — which also features bassist/vocalist Shawn Flannigan — is laying down tracks at Egan Media with engineer (and Deep Soda low-ender) Rob O’Dea. Word is, things are going well. FTC has certainly had trouble holding on to drummers in their relatively brief life. Their first percussionist, Jonny Aquadora, left the band to pursue his other interests, including trash-rock duo Magic Sparkle. His replacement, Justin Gonyea, proved a less than perfect fit. At least none of ’em have spontaneously combusted, à la Spinal Tap. Local drum god Steve Hadeka has offered his talents to the new recording. He regularly performs with The Cush and Monoprix, both of whom are far mellower than FTC. “It was really fun,” says Hadeka. “I got to play faster and louder — just what I needed.” Hadeka per-

Burlington post-rock trio Tell No One are celebrating the release of their new EP Just Breathe & Resist at Club Metronome on Friday, July 7. Joining them for the festivities are Carrigan and Manifest Nexto Me. According to TNO bassist Daniel Munzing, 100 of his band’s CDs will be given away at the door. Sounds like a good deal to me. I’ve heard the disc, and it’s quite good. Produced by ex-Cancer Conspiracy guitarist Daryl Rabidoux, it features plenty of melodic intricacies and rhythmic twists. The EP holds up to repeat listens — something I consider the true test for any release. Unlike previous efforts, it prominently features vocals. This doesn’t detract from the arrangements, which are heavy and hypnotic. The band’s live act has come a long way since I first saw them a couple of years ago. TNO opened The Pants’ reunion show back in May and more than held their own. I initially had my doubts about the pairing, but their passionate performWILLmePATTON ance quickly won over. Many technically oriented bands can come across as cold on stage. Not these dudes. TNO had no trouble connecting to the audience, and seemed like they were having a blast. The release party also features a “vinyl set,” during which all three bands will spin their favorite records. Wonder if we’ll hear Thriller?

OPEN BAND NIGHT 802 LOUNGE NIGHT PREMIER CLOSE TO NOWHERE W. WRECKLOOSE AND MON FRERE POST PHIL AND FRIENDS PARTY W. MIRACLE TRAIN

Phishheads will be psyched to know that the band will rock the Burlington Waterfront Park on Sunday, July 9. That is, on a two-story inflatable movie screen. I know, I know, it’s not the real thing. But the film is in surround sound; your good vibes will take care of the rest. The event is the world premiere of Live in Brooklyn, which documents the first performance in the Phab Phour’s final tour. Guess what? It rained. That didn’t stop 16,000 fans from noodle dancing in Coney Island’s Keyspan Park, though. The B-Town event takes place at 8:15 p.m. and, like the real-life concert, it’s rain or shine. Magic Hat will provide a beer tent for the grownups, while Ben & Jerry’s dish out free “Phish Food” ice cream for kids of all ages. You can also pick up a commemorative poster, with proceeds benefiting Burlington City Arts. If you can’t make it down, no worries: The three-DVD, two-CD set will be in stores the following Tuesday. m

FIRE THE CANNONS

formed with the band at Higher Ground last Friday, but he won’t be on their upcoming tour, which kicks off at Club Metronome on July 13. The jaunt will take the band to the Midwest and back. “The entire two-week ordeal is booked, with shows from Washington, D.C., to Ypsilanti, Michigan,” Flannigan relates. Along for the adventure are Burlington indie-rockers The Hero Cycle — with Flannigan on bass — and NYC’s The Shapes. “It’s double duty for li’l ol’ me,” he jokes. Why not go triple? Perhaps The Shapes could use some extra bottom end. Multi-instrumentalist/recording enthusiast Jeremy Mendicino is manning the kit for the duration of the tour. He was last seen pounding skins for Video Pigeon. Mendicino’s John Bonham-like bombast should provide a fine anchor for Flannigan and Claire. Maybe he’ll even stick around.

reviewthis FROM THE GROUND UP, WORDS CANâ€™T EXPLAIN

VARIOUS ARTISTS, CRY OF ATLANTIS: THE NORTH COUNTRY SCENE â€™58-â€™67, VOL. 2

(Round 2 Records, CD)

(Dionysus Records, CD) Producer Will Shade and the good folks at Dionysus Records have put together another kick-ass collection of vintage North Country rock â€™nâ€™ roll. Whereas its predecessor, Heart So Cold, centered on Plattsburgh rockers, the new compilation, Cry of Atlantis, draws more from bands from this side of the lake. Included on the disc are tunes by The Vistas, Motts Men, The Chosen Few, Freddie & the Freeloaders and more. Among the roster are two bands whose personnel remains a mystery: The Tyros and The Corvettes. Itâ€™s amazing to consider that before The Beatles invaded America, the Green Mountains echoed with high-energy, impassioned rock â€™nâ€™ roll. Even more stunning is how hip the music still sounds. One can only wonder if todayâ€™s local bands will age half as well. Atlantis kicks off with â€œRock, Rock, Rocket Ship,â€? a rowdy, Gene Vincent-style number by Plattsburghâ€™s The Rockers. With its slap-back echo vocals, meaty twang and boss backbeat, the song is the epitome of delinquent cool. Burlingtonâ€™s Vistas offer the sunny, Beach Boys-style cut â€œI Want a Cadillac.â€? As the hottest B-town band of their day, they got the chance to record in the big city of MontrĂŠal. The closing track, â€œI Want You,â€? is also by The Vistas. It boasts a seductive vocal performance not unlike Colin Blunstoneâ€™s work with The Zombies. Legendary Plattsburgh cats The Thunderbolts contribute the oddball instrumental â€œThe Fisherman.â€? The tune features both a bitchinâ€™ guitar solo and a goofy conversation about seafood. Embarrassed at the finished product, the band actually released it under the alias Shawn & the Sunnys. Former St. Michaelâ€™s College students The Chosen Few give us â€œGet in On Life,â€? a rough-and-tumble cut that anticipates the rise of Motor City bad-asses The Stooges. They cut this number back in â€™67 but never managed to record a follow-up. Too bad. The Tyrosâ€™ â€œTrying to Get to Youâ€? is a sweet little ballad about a fella searching for his gal. The fact that nobody knows who was in the band only adds to its romantic allure. Motts Menâ€™s slab of proto-psychedelia, â€œSheâ€™s So Mean,â€? features jangly guitars and incessant tambourine, while Freddy & the Freeloadersâ€™ â€œPatty!â€? is an uptempo love song with reverb-drenched vocals. The albumâ€™s title track comes courtesy of The Persuaders. It was apparently Plattsburgh label Rondack Recordsâ€™ strongest seller, garnering airplay as far off as Albany. Cry of Atlantis is a treasure trove of lost classics that will delight collectors and the simply curious. Hope thereâ€™s another batch on the way â€” Iâ€™m addicted.

FACING THE MEDIA CRISIS:

Burlingtonâ€™s From the Ground Up trade in passionate, socially conscious hardcore. Their tunes are no-frills, featuring rock-solid drumming, muscular guitars and guttural vocals. This formula has worked well for a number of bands, most notably Gorilla Biscuits, who FTGU musically resemble. Their latest, Words Canâ€™t Explain, is both visceral and uplifting, a healthy dose of earnest hardcore. Several players contributed to the album, some as fulltime members, others as temporary fill-ins. Notables include the talented punk drummer Bobby Hackney Jr., and bassist Adam Meilleur of dark-pop act The Static Age. Handling axe duties are Alan Blackman and Paul Rushford. Dean Blumberg contributes bass to the first four cuts, although Julian Hackney (who doesnâ€™t perform on the CD) currently provides the low end. Vocalist Alex Pond is the de facto leader of this crew, and he tackles the role with confidence and authority. The disc opens with â€œNothing to Go Back To,â€? which is propelled by double-time drums and chugging, rapid-fire guitars. â€œIf we struggle for our dreams to be realized, we must struggle even more for them to be forgotten,â€? Pond barks over the musical maelstrom. â€œThe Death of Fearâ€? continues the sonic assault, but at a more relaxed tempo. Which isnâ€™t to say the song is sluggish; its toothy riffs and rugged rhythms still provide plenty of velocity. â€œDesperation transforms into strength / We rise to smash and reclaim our life,â€? Pond howls. Here, as elsewhere on the disc, he offers empowering, if somewhat vague, verbiage. A rising tide of feedback heralds â€œThe Greater Good,â€? which features the kind of fist-pumping singalong that makes hardcore a perennial favorite among disenfranchised youth needing to belong. â€œI love my friends . . . I love my friends . . . I love my friends to fucking death!â€? Pond belts. Chances are the feeling is reciprocal. â€œOctoberâ€? is rather romantic, despite its razor-sharp guitars and punishing, half-time breakdown. â€œI will not shield my eyes / Canâ€™t close to the beauty, the beauty of you,â€? the lyrics state. â€œTo celebrate a life, I celebrate you / The catalyst of wonderful.â€? Who says tough guys canâ€™t be sensitive? FTGU are noble keepers of the hardcore flame. Long may they burn.

ARTWORK “Rorschach Landscapes” by Phil Robertson

PHOTO Marc Awodey

ast spring the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier invited artists to submit mixed-media works that were 24 inches square and interpreted a specific subject: the passage of time. Though it sounds complicated, the solicitation resulted in a perfectly accessible summertime show. “The Passage of Time” comprises 27 well-executed pieces by 20 Vermont artists — including a few landscape paintings that managed to sneak in. No heavy intellectual lifting is required to enjoy this exhibit; it’s like a beach book on vacation. Arthur and Ann Schaller, a married couple from Northfield, both utilize festive, vibrant colors in their pieces. Arthur teaches architecture at Vermont’s Norwich University, yet he pokes fun at the military with his “Ancient Tricksters Plan the Future, Again & Again.” In it, a row of seven military leaders are gaudily decorated with medals, their faces covered with collaged scraps of bright paper. A strip of map borders the bottom of the redframed shadow box, along with a metric ruler, marked in centimeters. Ann’s “Earth Time” is an assemblage of baubles, such as star-shaped buttons, coins and small pictures, comprising an evening landscape; this in turn is covered by a diagonal grid of yellow string. Gerson and Suzy Markowitt of Warren are another artist-couple in the

show, and both present mostly white abstractions. Suzy’s “Timeline” is the more geometric; a loopy white thread moves across a central cream-colored, textural band with straight edges, while a Slinky is stretched across a lower band of black fabric. A thin black ribbon with white stitching runs horizontally near the top of the piece. Gerson’s “Journey” is amoeba-like, an irregularly shaped tangle of colored threads and lines floating on a textured white background. “Rorschach Landscapes” by Hardwick resident Phil Robertson, a former director of the Wood Gallery

poems about seasonal change from summer to autumn; leafy landscapes, cut in short, rhythmic, diagonal scoops, accompany the poems. Text also figures prominently in the submission from Roxbury collagist Jane Pincus. Hers, too, is poetry, noted in the piece’s title as “Theodore Roethke’s Walking.” To the left of blue and lavender vertical strips of color, Pincus collaged lines of the poetry, which read from the bottom up. The first is “I wake to sleep and take my walking slow” along the lower left corner of the image. Nineteen lines arranged into six

They appear to have been blocks for woodcuts. The blocks are bookmatched — the right and left sides are mirror images of each other — and contain text. If printed, the words on the left side would read properly because the text is cut backwards. The blocks at right, however, would print backwards because they read properly to the viewer in this form. Robertson’s texts are two

stanzas rise to the top of the left side. TheWood Gallery removed its central partitions to install “The Passage of Time,” so the gallery space is completely opened up. On hot days, the itslarge doors are also thrown open to coax in fresh breezes from the Vermont College green. Thus laid out, the gallery is an inviting space for kids attending “art camp,” as well as for visitors of all ages to pass their time, enjoying the show. m

theborowitzreport BUSH OPPOSES MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A FLAG

n what many political observers believe could become an effective wedge issue in the 2006 midterm elections, President George W. Bush today proposed a constitutional amendment banning marriage between a man and a flag. In a nationally televised address from the Oval Office, the president said that the proposed amendment was intended to protect two embattled American institutions: traditional marriage and the American flag. “We must define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and not between a man and a flag,” Mr. Bush said. “Additionally, just as we seek to protect flags from being burned, we must protect them from being married.” The president’s proposal seemed intended to cause trouble among congressional Democrats, many of whom have no stated opinion on the issue of manflag unions.

But 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry was quick out of the box in response to the president’s speech, telling reporters, “Before the end of the day, I intend to have at least three or four different positions on this issue.” On the other side of the aisle,

We must define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and not between a man and a flag.

Mr. Bush’s proposed amendment received immediate support from Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., who suggested expanding its scope to ban marriage between a man and

I have been going to Boveâ€™s for many years, and it feels like home to me. The portions are huge, and I can get two or three meals out of the pork chop dinner which comes with two sides and extra for a salad. My only complaint is the meatballs get smaller every year.

The Proposition HHHH

T CAVE MEN The Bad Seeds’ front man has penned a Western spare and existential enough to make Eastwood envious.

he frontier that provides the setting for John Hillcoat’s hypnotic, unflinchingly pitiless new film is so barren and scorched, it makes most American western plains look like something out of a vacation brochure. The Proposition takes place in the Australian outback of the late 19th century, and if it isn’t the only Aussie oater ever made, it is at any rate the only one that matters. Based on a brilliant, bare-boned script by the rock musician Nick Cave, the picture tells the story of a British officer determined to civilize a remote, dust-choked settlement and the deal he strikes to do so with a member of the hellhole’s most brutal outlaw outfit. The movie opens with a chaotic shootout between Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone), leading his ragtag militia, and several desperadoes from the notorious Burns Brothers gang. This follows the shocking massacre of a local family. When the smoke clears, two of the brothers are shackled and seated across from the soldier in a room riddled with holes. One is Mikey Burns (Richard Wilson), the youngest of the three. The other is the middle brother, Charlie, played by Guy Pearce, so gaunt he’s all but unrecognizable from roles in films such as L.A. Confidential and Memento. Winstone, who gave such an unforgettable performance in Sexy Beast, delivers an even more mesmerizing one here as a displaced Brit desperate to prove to the locals he’s a match for the bad guys. He puts forth what he deems to be a cunning proposal: December 25th is nine days away. If Pearce rides to the secret hideout of his older brother Arthur (Danny Huston) and murders him, the two surviving Burns boys will be pardoned. If he refuses or fails, young Mikey will hang by the neck until dead on Christmas Day. Arthur, we learn, is the big fish, the brains of the outfit. If Stanley can bring him down, he believes, the gang’s reign of terror will come to an end and his brand of English law and order will gain credibility in the eyes of the townspeople and native aboriginal population. It’s a place Sam Peckinpah might have dreamt up on some really bad acid so, as cold-blooded as the plan sounds, it makes a kind of frontier sense. Unfortunately for all involved, the slimeball mayor decides his poll numbers could use a boost, and butts in. Over the protests of the captain, he orders the prisoner to be publicly whipped within an inch of his life. From the moment the boy collapses in a pool of his own blood, the flesh of his back shredded, it’s clear there’s going to be hell to pay. A darkening sense of dread moves in like a storm front. “This will be our death sentence,” Winstone whispers to his wife. Martha Stanley is played by Emily Watson as a woman

who’s mastered the art of pretending she’s somewhere else. Her surroundings are so inhospitable to life as she’s known it that she might as well have relocated to the lunar surface. Yet she holds it together by planting improbable rose bushes, serving tea from an antique china set, and losing herself in fashion catalogues from the world she left behind. With savages like the Burns brothers to the left of her and the corrupt forces of colonial rule to her right, she’s stuck in the middle with nothing but fantasies of her former life to keep her sane. The standout performance in a film with outstanding performances to spare, however, is given by Huston. The son of the legendary director John Huston and half-brother of famed actress Anjelica, he came to acting relatively late in life, but has made up for lost time with memorable turns in Birth, 21 Grams and The Constant Gardener, among others. This is his best yet. His Arthur Burns is a transfixing combination of poet, seer, philosopher and violent psychopath. The actor underplays his monstrosity to riveting effect. Feared by the aborigines, who refer to him as “dog fella,” he lives high up in the hills, stares into space for hours at a time, and leads a Manson-style family of Irish misfits and mental defectives. When Charlie arrives, Arthur tells him, “I know why you’re here.” Clearly, his brother wonders whether that just might be the case. Many in the audience will, too; Huston’s portrayal is that convincing. Miles away, a small evergreen has been uncrated and decorated. A formal table has been set with silver, crystal, wine and a Christmas bird. Captain Stanley and his wife sit in their finest formal attire, as though the occasion were a festive one and good company were due to arrive at any moment. And company is coming, but it is bad company. Barred shutters and locked doors won’t keep these visitors out. That rifle the captain has laid on a chair across the room might as well be on the other side of the world. Hillcoat lets the tension build until you think you might jump out of your skin, and then there is hell to pay, as we knew all along there would be. The Proposition is written artfully and with restraint, acted so well you won’t be able to look away, directed with just the right hallucinatory touch, and set to a haunting score that’s a marvel itself — Nick Cave wrote that as well. Maybe that’s why the Western has faded into the sunset over the past several decades — not enough rock musicians have been making them. This is a movie about many things: loyalty, national arrogance, the bonds of family, the inescapably cyclical nature of retribution. It’s also about as authentic, original and exhilarating an experience as you’re likely to have at the cinema this summer. m

member. â€œThereâ€™ll be places to hold conversations, offer hospitality, sell tickets, and just hang out.â€? Ah, yes â€” all those nooks and crannies. July 15 is the deadline for motionpicture submissions from Vermonters. Call 660-2600 or check out www.vtiff. com for details. Waterfront Park will accommodate a free world premiere of Phish Live in Brooklyn, which chronicles the jam bandâ€™s first stop on a 2004 goodbye tour. The 221-minute doc, directed and edited by Eli Tishberg, begins at 8:15 p.m. on Sunday. This Queen City launch precedes the nationwide July 11 release of a two-DVD set and a separate three-CD audio soundtrack. Despite a downpour, the New York boroughâ€™s mid-June concert drew 16,000 Phishheads to Coney Island, while another 30,000 watched a simulcast from the dry comfort of nearly 50 movie theaters around the country. The filmâ€™s debut, on a two-story inflatable screen, will be a sort of rain-or-shine affair. Better pack some waterproof gear, because the show must go on if thereâ€™s merely a drizzle. In case of a deluge, however, fans should head for Higher Ground. The club in South Burlington, that is. Locals hoping to transcend fickle weather can turn on and tune in. Vermont Public Televisionâ€™s â€œReel Independentsâ€? is back for a sixth season

Hit the spot.

beginning this weekend. The 10 p.m. Friday night series focuses on the stateâ€™s auteurs. Host Ken Peck interviews them after a look at their work, which reflects many artistic visions of varying lengths. The program, running from July 7 through September, starts with three filmmakers: several â€œDogsharksâ€? animations by writer-illustrator Robert Wurzburg of St. Johnsbury; â€œI Was a Dancerâ€? by Jason Whiton of Putney; and â€œThe World Outsideâ€? by Josh Lind of Rutland. Wurzburg has a â€œDogsharksâ€? cottage industry of books, puppets and merchandising built around creatures that look part canine and part cartilaginous fish. â€œThe films are playfully educational pieces for children, each about 2 minutes long,â€? Peck explains. Whiton wasnâ€™t able to appear in person, but his â€œDancerâ€? speaks for him, chronicling â€œa beautifully choreographed, ritualistic pageant in Japan,â€? Peck notes. â€œItâ€™s women in kimonos, shot mostly in slow-motion, with the banging of a drum as accompaniment.â€? Lindâ€™s â€œOutsideâ€? depicts two warring factories, one red and the other blue, with employees ensnared by the conflict. His inspiration is rooted in Americaâ€™s electoral divide. â€œIn terms of production values, this is magnificently stylized and extremely creative on the level of a Willy Wonka,â€? Peck suggests. The July 14 selection, â€œDriveâ€? by

Burlington resident Art Bell, is â€œa fascinating montage of vehicles in motion, even a Mennonite wagon,â€? Peck says. â€œHe uses ambient music and JFKâ€™s inaugural address, a powerful speech about freedom and liberty. Art is a cinematic poet whoâ€™s not interested in spelling out the thises and thats.â€? On tap for July 21, â€œRadically Simpleâ€? by Jan Cannon of Charlotte profiles renowned environmentalist and Dartmouth College sustainability director Jim Merkel. Michael Fisherâ€™s â€œStick Seasonâ€? and â€œVampireâ€™s Poseâ€? â€“ supernatural narratives with agricultural settings â€“ will wrap up the first segment of â€œReel Independentsâ€? on July 28. After a VPT fundraising break, the series comes back in mid-August. By then, perhaps summer sunshine will be more reliable. m

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 â€” how theyâ€™re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or whatâ€™s inside them.

Connie Chungâ€™s bye-bye song from atop the PIANO made us gag. The average age of FLORIDA residents is a hundred and two. The DOORS of Perception got their name from Huxley and Blake. Little fish really do appear bigger in a small pond, or small CITY. Britney chose Beethovenâ€™s Ninth SYMPHONY as her cell phone ring. A thousand cul-de-sacs are found in Freudâ€™s MAP of the mind. Harold stored his vast condom collection in a SAFE deposit box. Iâ€™ve heard tell there used to be a machine called a TYPEWRITER. The STAR-SPANGLED BANNER is an unlikely name for a flag.

ig news for cineastes: The Vermont International Film Festival, October 11 through 15, is getting a new Burlington venue. The Waterfront Theatre is slated to become the site for documentaries, replacing City Hall Auditorium and the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts. The annual eventâ€™s 35mm celluloid features will continue at the Roxy. These changes are part of a sponsorship arrangement with the Main Street Landing Company, which has constructed a 110,000-square-foot commercial and cultural complex on some of the cityâ€™s most scenic real estate. â€œWe really want to support independent film,â€? says Melinda Moulton, one of two â€œsustainable developersâ€? behind whatâ€™s called Lake and College Project. â€œThis provides the festival with all sorts of nooks and crannies.â€? The extravaganza will present its socially conscious fare in a 250-seat room with a 22-foot screen and Dolby Surround Sound, as well as a 150-seat black-box performance space. Audiences are likely to benefit from the neighborhoodâ€™s many parking options. And the Colin Lindberg-designed complex is eco-friendly, underscoring one of the topical festâ€™s key themes. VIFF has been headquartered in Main Street Landingâ€™s historic Union Station building since 1994, in what Moulton describes as â€œan enduring, passionate relationshipâ€? for her enterprise. â€œThis is really exciting for us,â€? says filmmaker Deb Ellis, a festival board

“Buy Your GOLD BOND Mattress Set This Month and Save”

SAVE

15%*

Off the regular price

Why buy a Gold Bond Mattress? You should buy a Gold Bond mattress for the same reason I buy Gold Bond mattresses. Gold Bond Mattresses last longer and are more comfortable than the other available brands. Gold Bond has always been known as “The World’s Most Durable Mattress” but recently Furniture Today Magazine rated the Gold Bond Prestige mattress as the “World’s Most Comfortable mattress”. Gold Bond mattresses are built to last 15 to 20 years. Do the math - Gold Bond quality costs you less to own, even at regular pricing. At a 15% discount that’s an even greater deal. And speaking of deals, the first 15 purchasers will receive a free memory foam pillow.

PERFECT FOR PICNICS

PICNIC DELICACIES

It’s time again for rosé, that delicious pink wine that’s perfect to drink in warm weather. Contrary to popular belief, rosé wine is not a blending of red and white wines but made from red grape varieties using three different methods. Particularly, European rosé is “dry” and American rosé is more fruit forward. Unlike most, this lively & delicious wine is best drunk young. Rosé is a great summer sipper alone or with salads,

John Mellquist, owner and baker of the Trukenbrod Bakery, is dedicated to providing tasty, nutritious breads using original family recipes. What separates Mellquist from other bakers is that he mills his own grain rather than buying flour from elsewhere. This allows him to support local agriculture by using organic grains grown by farmers in Vermont. The grain is always milled on the same day as the baking occurs providing each variety of bread with its own chewy texture and rich flavor. Taste these

BASIC TRAINING

Kids go away to summer camp to grow up a little. But when you’re a fresh-faced 18-year-old and the sleep-away is boot camp, that growth spurt happens all at once. Neil Simon’s WWIIera Biloxi Blues follows Eugene Jerome, a naïve Brooklyn kid mired in Mississippi to learn soldiering skills with other army recruits. Amid alternately hilarious and heart-rending circumstances, the uniformed Eugene learns to live with enlistees from all walks of life, falls in love, takes flack from an abusive drill sergeant and loses his virginity in less-than-ideal circumstances. Biloxi is the second work in Simon’s autobiographical Brighton Beach trilogy, and continues the playwright’s trademark life-as-comedy style. St. Michael’s Playhouse stages a two-week run that will give audience members something to smile about.

‘BILOXI BLUES’ Wednesday through Saturday, July 5-8, and Tuesday through Saturday, July 11-15, McCarthy Center for the Arts, St. Michael’s College, Colchester, see calendar for times. $23-30. Info, 654-2281. www.smcvt.edu/playhouse

SEVEN DAYS

scene@CHARITY BINGO BROADACRES BINGO HALL, COLCHESTER, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 7-8:30 P.M. Itâ€™s not easy to walk into a weekly bingo game without a proper introduction. A group of hunched, number-dabbing warriors eyed me suspiciously as I took a seat in the ranks gathered at Broadacres Hall. Strewn about the tables was the voodoo-like bric-a-brac particular to a game that has filled churches, VFWs and retirement homes for more than 50 years. I was so green and clueless that I asked the silver-haired lady next to me what to do if I won. She chuckled incredulously, but didnâ€™t respond. I figured the real Bingoers might have grown jaded to the gameâ€™s titular act. Maybe they flashed some knowing hand motion, like a gang sign. But when the first winner screamed bloody murder, my question was answered. As the games went on, tension thickened, and unlucky balls were met with a rising din of frustrated mutterings and sighs. For a minute, I was reminded of waiting for a new license at the DMV. I dreamed on . . . if conscription were reinstituted, a game of Bingo should replace the boring lottery used in the past. Who would want to dodge a game of Bingo? Someone whoâ€™s unfit for battle, thatâ€™s who. Iâ€™m writing my congressman. Thereâ€™s more to bingo than just winning some cash. Like heroin addiction or knitting, itâ€™s as much about the ritual â€” the fastidious placement of Aloysius, your favorite magenta-maned treasure troll, or the moment right before the winning numberâ€™s incidence â€” as anything. That made me feel better about going home empty-handed â€”OK, with only a â€œDabbinâ€™ Feverâ€? Bingo dabber, which I christened â€œExcalibur.â€? I didnâ€™t win the â€œpicnic tableâ€? or â€œcrazy flying kiteâ€? games, but I left with something more valuable than money: the knowledge that I could hang with the battle-scarred Bingoers of Broadacres.

PLAYING DIRTY

Not everyone can race in the Indy 500 or on a NASCAR track, but mud bogging is pretty egalitarian. The off-road motorsport puts wheel spinners through a pit filled with a messy, gooey mix of dirt and water. Winners are judged by distance traveled, or time required to make it through completely. Usually, vehicles need 4-wheel drive to compete in one of several classes sorted by engine size, but this weekendâ€™s Bradford mud runs feature a special â€œRun What You Brungâ€? series for everything from custom buggies to commuter cars. Kids ages 4 to 7 go fullthrottle daily in battery-powered, tot-sized toy trucks. Helmets are a must. Backyard engines more your speed? No problem: On alternate weeks, the same site hosts â€œredneck lawnmower racing.â€?

VERMONSTER 4 X 4 MUD RUNS Saturday and Sunday, June 8 & 9, Connecticut Valley Fair Grounds, Bradford, race registration 8 a.m., gates open 10 a.m. $10 to watch, $20-30 for pit team and drivers. Info, 439-3323. http://vermonster4x4.com/events.htm 2 www.connecticutvalleyfair.com

NIGHT OUT

The Vermont Shakespeare Company brought the Bard outdoors last summer, and continues this year on the Champlain Islands with a one-weekend production of the comedy Twelfth Night, or What You Will. In it, shipwrecked and separated twins, a girl and a boy, wreak havoc when theyâ€™re mistaken for each other and gentrified people of both genders start falling in love. â€œAll of the characters are looking for an identity,â€? says director John Nagle, explaining that he set the play in the 1920s because after WWI, upper-class aristocrats were similarly at sea. Feste, the clown, is played as a self-pitying ex-child star stuck in the glory days of vaudeville, singing melancholy ballads set to incidental music composed by Andrew Sherman. Hope for clear skies, but if it rains, extra shows will be added at 2 p.m. on July 8 and 9.

â€˜TWELFTH NIGHTâ€™ Thursday through Saturday, July 6-8, The Islands Center, Knight Point State Park, North Hero, 6:30 p.m. $20. Info, 372-8400. www.vermontshakespeare.org

STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Paul Simon may have gotten his start as a folk singer, but heâ€™s since proven he can write catchy pop-rock, too. â€œMrs. Robinsonâ€? and â€œKodachromeâ€? are part of baby boomersâ€™ life soundtrack, and 1986â€™s Graceland matched world beats from Africa with sharp yet singable lyrics about everything from Elvis to mid-life crises. Surprise, Simonâ€™s latest album, resulted from collaboration with electronica avant-gardist Brian Eno, whose soundscapes back Simonâ€™s guitar work. The lyrics are hummable, and still brutally honest: â€œOutrageousâ€? alludes to an older man dying his hair, and between bombastic verses a mellow chorus asks, â€œWhoâ€™s going to love you when your looks are gone?â€? Simon, now a few months shy of 65, plays a local solo show as part of an international tour.

PAUL SIMON Friday, July 7, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, 7:30 p.m. $50-75. Info, 863-5966. 2x4-uvmovarian060706 www.paulsimon.com

DODGER BALL

The New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in the final game of the World Series four times between 1941 and 1953. Boston Red Sox fans will understand the catharsis that lefthanded pitcher Johnny Podres provided in October of 1955, when he gave the Dodgers their one and only World Series victory. The 23-year-old Podres became a sports hero overnight, and later went on to mentor some of the best pitchers in baseball. New York-based lawyer, autograph collector and amateur sports historian Bob Bennett reads from his biography Johnny Podres: Brooklyn’s Only Yankee Killer, which includes interviews with Podres and a rundown of the season leading up to the big game.

L RE A

JULY 06-12

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Three years before Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code came out, my book The Televisionary Oracle was published. In it, I riffed extensively on Mary Magdalene’s role as Jesus’s consort, collabor-ator, and co-creator of Christianity — similar in ways to Brown’s themes. Sales of my tome are approaching 10,000, while Brown’s have topped 61 million. Why the contrast? His work is a linear detective story, while mine is an experimental blend of magical realism, prophetic philosophy and oracular poetry. His characterizations and plot hew to established conventions of mainstream fiction, while mine spring from my muse and real life. The difference between our approaches is comparable to the choice you have ahead of you, Aries. You can opt for greater popularity and loyalty to convention, or you can choose to be more of a secret as you rigorously follow the promptings of your inner voice.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Once you open a can of worms, the only way to re-can the buggers is to use a larger can. So says Zymurgy’s First Law of Evolving Systems Dynamics. I urge you to keep that in mind during the coming week, Taurus. You or someone close to you may suffer from a blissful mania or temporary insanity that leads them to think that liberating the canned worms is a wise idea. Maybe it will ultimately prove to be the right thing to do, but it could cause a ruckus in the short run. In any case, make it your job to have a barrel-size can on hand for the re-containment.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Recently a team of a thousand workers spent a week scraping off 600,000 wads of chewing gum that had become bonded to the surface of Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. If you choose to accept it, Gemini, your assignment in the coming week is to carry out a procedure comparable to China’s massive, intricate effort to wipe the slate clean. It may be time-consuming and a bit excruciating — the equivalent of shuffling around for hours on your hands and knees — but in retrospect I think you’ll be very glad you did it. Its surprisingly

cathartic effect will make you smarter and wilder and kinder and trickier.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): This will be an excellent time — maybe one of the best weeks ever — to try herding cats, coaxing hermits to do karaoke, and getting anorexics to eat veggie burgers with all the fixings. In other words, Cancerian, the once inconceivable may become likely. The adventures you swore you would never have the courage to attempt are suddenly within your capacity. You can at least partially dissolve the one fear you’ve always believed would hobble you forever.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to the Bible, the apostle Thomas did not immediately accept the other disciples’ reports that Christ had survived his crucifixion and come back to life in a resurrected body. “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side,” Thomas said, “I will not believe it.” Later Christ appeared in person to Thomas and invited him to put his hand in the actual wound. Moral of the story: The person who doubted was given a special privilege. Let that be your guiding thought in the coming week, Leo. Demand proof. Seek actual evidence to bolster your faith.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): July 4, 1776, is generally regarded as the day the 13 American colonies issued the Declaration of Independence, thereby asserting their right to be free of Britain’s rule. But the fact is that only two members of the Continental Congress signed the document on that day. Most of the other 54 men waited until August 2. In a similar way, Virgo, a process you thought was fully climaxed this week will not reach its full ripening until early August. I suggest you reserve making your final conclusions until then.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your patron saint for the month of July is Dublin professor James Mays. A few years ago he made a major splash in the literary world. While researching the

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. work of Libran poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), Mays discovered 300 previously unknown poems written by the co-founder of England’s Romantic Movement, doubling what had long been thought to be his total output. I predict that in the coming weeks, Libra, you too will make a breakthrough that will give you access to a fresh trove of creative resources that have been hidden from your view.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Like a bird, you seem to have the ability to defy gravity lately. You’re acting with the expansiveness that comes from having a wide-ranging, high-in-thesky view of life. Sometimes you remind me of a thunderbird, which among Native Americans was a mythical raptor that carried messages between spiritual beings. Its eyes unleashed lightning and its enormous wings beat so hard that they spawned storms. But sometimes, Scorpio, you’re more like a nightingale — a small, graceful songbird that sings beautiful, complicated songs at night when no other bird is singing. Congratulations on your versatility. Only you could pull off being half-thunderbird and half-nightingale.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A garbage strike turned out to be a lucky break for two people in Illinois. Brother and sister Ezekiel and Karen Garnett had bought a lottery ticket but then carelessly thrown it out. Many days later they heard that the winning $10.5 million ticket remained unclaimed. Was it theirs? They sifted through two weeks’ worth of trash, which remained uncollected outside their house because sanitation engineers had walked off the job. Voila! They found the precious ticket. Now I predict you’ll be visited by a comparable sequence, Sagittarius — a glitch that leads to a happy ending. It may be that an asset you’ve neglected or squandered will return to you because of an inconvenience. Or perhaps you’ll realize how valuable a certain experience is only after you’ve lost it, whereupon you’ll recover it against all odds.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you usually wear your baseball cap backwards, this will be a favorable time to turn the peak toward the front. If it’s normally facing forward, I suggest you turn it around. In fact, everything you try in the coming week will have extra luck and grace if you approach it a bit askew or do it the reverse of your customary habit. The cosmic tables have turned, and the best way to capitalize is to flip-flop yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Iran made a strong overture of peace to the United States in the spring of 2003. According to The Washington Post, the Iranians offered to recognize Israel, promised to stop supporting terrorist groups, and asked for diplomatic talks concerning their nuclear technology. Tragically, the Bush administration ignored the proposal, missing a chance to cool down tensions that have led to today’s crisis. My analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you now have a comparable window of opportunity in your personal life, Aquarius. Peace feelers are appearing. You’ll soon have a fresh opportunity to dissipate simmering stress before it erupts into conflict. Even better, you’ll be in a good position to negotiate pretty favorable terms for yourself. Don’t imitate Bush and company.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): If I’m reading the astrological omens correctly, this would be an excellent time for you to apply for a job as a crocodile trainer, audition for a supporting role in a TV soap opera, or give motivational speeches to 5-year-olds. For that matter, it wouldn’t be outlandish for you to use a chainsaw to create sculptures from dead trees, make a home video of yourself entitled “The Dancing Chef” or “The Wise-Ass Guru,” or write a research paper on orca whales and quantum physics. In other words, Pisces, consider trying things you’ve never considered before. Ask yourself if maybe you possess hidden talents that you haven’t even begun to cultivate. Be receptive to the possibility that your destiny is more open-ended than you’ve ever imagined.

Lola

the love counselor

Dear Lola, I don’t have a great track record as far as my love life goes. But after a couple of divorces and some serious romances that fizzled, I have taken stock of my life. I now realize that what I want is a committed, long-term relationship with “Bonnie,” the girlfriend I broke up with a year ago. We have continued to be friends, and as much fun as ever — minus sex. But when I suggest getting back together, she gives me the cold shoulder. How can I convince her that I’ve changed? Wondering in Warren Dear Wondering, Maybe she doesn’t want to be convinced. And even if Bonnie does believe you, maybe she’s just not interested in an encore performance. Your insistence may even be fueling her resistance. And having been burned once by you, perhaps she’s using your pursuit as an opportunity to punish you. My recommendation? Quit pushing. She knows where you stand; there’s no need to reiterate. Back off, be a good friend, and see what evolves. Love, Lola

My very own Chris Martin From raging down a white river, to seeing all “yellow” in Montreal...from getting caught in a blizzard in Maine, to getting caught in a car...I’ve had so much fun.
