BAD HEAD What’s with the editorial staff at Seven Days? You go to the trouble of printing my letter to the editor [May 31], which is all about demanding greater respect from the Discover Jazz festival toward women musicians (especially instrumentalists), and you slap this ridiculous title on it: “Ladies’ Tunes.” Gag me with a spoon! What the hell is a “lady’s tune?” And what remote connection does that have to what my article was about? Does it have something to do with “Ladies’ Night” at the local bar? Or maybe that there are certain jazz tunes that “ladies” would like to listen to that the Discover Jazz festival is not providing? Are you quite successfully attempting to join the ranks of various organizations that routinely insult the female population of Vermont? I mistakenly had the impression that you were interested in supporting my position on this annually bulldozed issue by printing my letter, but instead you manage to add insult to injury.

YOU LOOK FAMILIAR... MYSPACE? I went out to a show last night at a venue in Burlington. It was the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus, a troupe of whom I’m quite fond and have seen a number of times before. They’re great fun, but you have to select your seat carefully — close enough to get a good view, but not so close that you’ll be nabbed for audience participation. The show was great! Lots of fun. Anyway, while I was there I saw two people I “know” from MySpace. One of them was with some mutual friends so I was introduced to her, but the other was... well, there was a four-degree separation between myself and this person such that an introduction was not going to occur. Normally this would be a relief because I hate people and don’t want to meet 99.9 percent of them. But this is the second time I’ve seen someone from MySpace I actually wanted to meet but was baffled by what sort of etiquette might govern the situation. I was nowhere near drunk enough to say “fuck etiquette.” So I guess I just resign myself to what seems the most civilized course of action in my opinion: Stay available but do not approach. Because who am I to go barging in on someone’s evening? It just feels creepy, unladylike, and quite presumptuous to go introducing myself to people I hardly know — boldly assuming that they reciprocate my wish to meet. Or maybe I’m just a big lily-livered milquetoast.
from the stage, and sold tickets specifically to raise campaign money to a band (Starline Rhythm Boys) that gets paid to play background music at campaign cookouts. Routly asks, “What does that say about the Starline Rhythm Boys, a former Bernie band now vending their carefully crafted retro brand to Tarrant?” To me it says that they want to take away a woman’s right to choose and rid our nation once and for all of the death tax. Either that, or they are a working band that will play events for whomever hires them. Some bands can’t afford to be choosy about the beliefs of their customers, or want to be. And why is Routly treating this as a shocking exposé just because the Starline Rhythm Boys are playing for a Republican? Is this a journalistic piece or an editorial? In the future Routly should have local bands of questionable allegiance sign a loyalty oath so she won’t have to smoke them out of their holes. Brian Burns CALAIS

ent perspective on the war. My main point in responding to Ms. Evnin, however, is to ask whether anyone can legitimately maintain that this war is a “just” war. There have been wars with two sides to this argument. But in the Iraq War, like the Vietnam War, this claim cannot be made. Saddam Hussein was not part of 9/11, there were no WMD, and Iraq was not a threat to us. Our preemptive invasion of Iraq has so far cost us $286 billion, 2500 U.S. troop fatalities and 18,000 injured, and scores of innocent Iraqi deaths (caused by both sides) — with a long way yet to go. Yes, there are some good things happening in Iraq, and that could be the case for any repressed regime we might chose to go after. But given Iraq’s polarized ethnic makeup, it can never be a democracy. Perhaps in a decade it could be a stable regime like Iran or similar to pre-war Iraq. Would that have made it a “good cause?” History will show that this was a tragic mistake. Wayne Michaud BRISTOL

Foreign Relations and the American Decline by James Perloff and the other copy I held that evening (5/25/2006 in South Royalton High School Library) state the fact, I do not remember calling him an “enemy.” Dean Kempner and I may disagree on some matters, but we likely agree the United States Constitution has provided the framework for a unique governmental system, which attracts many millions of people . . . who want to be here in the United States of America, legally or otherwise. Is it our freedom, our wealth, our heritage, our future that pulls?
Thank you for informing your readers the John Birch Society endures since 1958, and allow me to point out its motto of “Less Government, More Responsibility and with God’s help, a Better World.” Grant Lester Corwin II SOUTH ROYALTON
Corwin leads the Vermont chapter of the JBS. WHAT ABOUT BOB? I want to thank Seven Days and reporter Cathy Resmer for the recent article “John Birch Society Explains Who’s Destroying America” [May 31].
Ms. Resmer wrote that our position is that a “ruling elite” wants to merge the U.S. into a “Soviet-style one-world tyranny under the United Nations.” While that position may seem “fringe” to Americans who don’t know the U.S. Constitution from a fishing license or couldn’t name their member of Congress, that position was articulated by folks like Ford Foundation President Rowan Gaither in the early ’50s, Bill Clinton’s mentor Professor Carroll Quigley, and countless others over the last 50 years. Last June, CNN’s Lou Dobbs did a report on a plan launched by
the Bush Administration, called the Security and Prosperity Partnership, which plans the economic, political, and military integration of Mexico, Canada and the U.S. Mr. Dobbs ended the story by suggesting that “Our countries’ political elites must be mad.” If that isn’t enough verification, go to the websites of the World Federalist and the U.N. Association. The article went on to mention that left-wing cultural icons demeaned and ridiculed the JBS, including Bob Dylan who penned the song “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues.” Isn’t it the nature of left-wing cultural icons to demean and ridicule those who oppose their agenda? So much for their alleged tolerance and diversity. Years after he wrote his song “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues,” he wrote a song entitled “Gonna Change My Way of Thinking.” In the song, Dylan laments his former world view and the fact that he had been influenced by fools. Harold Shurtleff HYDE PARK
Shurtleff is regional field director for the John Birch Society. JBS EXPOSURE Solid, comprehensive and interesting article on the recent John Birch Society meeting in South Royalton, “John Birch Society Explains Who’s Destroying America” [May 31]. I thought they had died out years ago! Was relieved to see only seven showed up at the meeting. I was a
newspaper editor in a small conservative town in Connecticut back in the ’60s, and recall well their carping, dangerous, know-nothing, insidious broad-brush tactics. We stood up to ’em. Karl Decker TOWNSHEND
NEEDED PROTECTION I am writing to you about the very important bill H-865, which was vetoed by our Governor Douglas [“Something for Everyone to Protest,” May 24]. My child is transgendered. How is it that someone can tell me that my child isn’t important enough to be safe from hate, when there could be a law that would educate people to understand something they don’t understand? I have seen some of the hate from people not understanding, but my child sees it and hears it every day. If you keep putting uneducated people in office who make these poor judgments, we can never be free of hate. I didn’t go to college or learn how to spell or read well, but I did learn and have more common sense. If this letter sounds hard to you, perhaps it should be this way. There are stupid things we do before we learn how wrong we are, but if we are willing to fix it today and not waste another moment, God bless us all. I would have many, many questions to ask someone who still doesn’t get it. Is the bill H-865 important? If you are transgender it is. Coralyn G. Guidry COLCHESTER

GOPEEVED Gary Cole is a bundle of contradictions: artist, theater producer, attorney, former CIA employee, lifelong Republican and — for three days in 2003 — head of the $60 million annual grants program at the National Endowment for the Arts. Cole, 46, sees himself as a casualty of the culture wars. His political appointment to the NEA was quickly torpedoed by Karl Rove’s office. At issue: two theater productions filmed by StageDirect, Cole’s Portland, Oregon-based video company. Straight is a one-man play about the “Exodus Movement” to convert gays and lesbians to heterosexuality; Poona the Fuckdog is a scathing political satire on mass media and commercialism. On Monday night, Cole read from his book Artless: The Odyssey of a Republican Cultural Creative, at Barnes & Noble in South Burlington. Today, Cole, who calls himself a “non-practicing Republican,” admits he was naïve in believing his dual passions for politics and the arts wouldn’t eventually collide. He points out that the Bush family already had one disastrous experience with a Republican attorney from Oregon in the 1980s: former NEA Director John E. Frohnmayer, who sponsored a controversial exhibit by the late Robert Mapplethorpe. Apparently, Rove wasn’t about to provoke a similar row with his socially conservative base. “Theater, to me, is all about challenging people,” Cole told the dozen or so people in attendance. “And that’s not how you go very far in politics.” KEN PICARD

ISRAEL CENTER OF VERMONT
Group Aims to Cast Israel in a More Positive Light BY KEN PICARD PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
VERMONT — “Israel-occupied White House.” “Who let the Zionists out?” “Iraq, Haiti, Palestine: Occupation is a crime.” These sentiments — expressed on signs held by protestors last month when Laura Bush visited Vermont — are increasingly common among antiwar activists and other members of the “Far Left.” That trend alarms a group of Burlington-area Jews, who believe that these attitudes are fueled by an incomplete understanding of the Jewish state. To counter the tendency, last spring they founded the Israel Center of Vermont. The nonprofit’s goal is to give Vermonters a more balanced picture of Israel — one that transcends the IsraeliPalestinian conflict and encompasses Israel’s history, culture, economics and people. “A lot of what people know about Israel, whether they’re Jewish or non-Jewish, is just what you see in the newspaper every day,” explains Program Director Shoshannah Boray. “It’s mostly about the conflict. There’s very little historical background or context.” Yoram Samets, board vice president of the ICV and a partner in the marketing group Kelliher Samets Volk, says he’s concerned that many younger Jews don’t feel the same connection to Israel as their parents or grandparents did. He attributes some of that “generational shift” to the media’s coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “There are many times that the media handles Israel inappropriately,” says Samets. “I don’t think it’s out of malice. It’s more about not understanding the issue.” Samets cites a recent example from last week’s media coverage of the Middle East. One story he saw described Iraqi leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as “a terrorist,” he says, while another referred to a Hamas leader who was responsible for the deaths of several Israelis as “an insurgent.” “Those are very subtle differences that have a profound impact on the way Americans view what is happening,” Samets suggests. The ICV has launched an Israeli book club and sponsored Israeli folk dances, monthly café nights and screenings of contemporary Israeli films. It has begun talks with the mayor of Arad, Burlington’s sister city in Israel, about arranging student and professional exchanges between the two cities. When a model UN group at Winooski High School wanted a speaker on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict, they contacted the Israel Center. The group has also brought in speakers. Last week, it sponsored a visit by David Baker, the senior foreign press coordinator for the Israeli Prime Minister’s office. He came to talk about media coverage of Israel — another source of concern among center members. Baker, who spoke to a group of about 85 people at Temple Sinai in South Burlington, outlined what he called “Israel’s special PR predicament.” More than 400 international journalists are

that on Washington, D.C., and Moscow. The global community has what Baker called “a legitimate but . . . insatiable appetite for news coming out of Israel.” And with so many reporters “hungry for the juiciest story they can get,” Baker contends that a small percentage of them, particularly in the European media, have “made their mark” by producing stories that are inaccurate, biased or false. Baker’s audience was largely Jewish and sympathetic to his message; his presentation was largely a how-to seminar for shaping public opinion. “It’s not enough to just sit down and kvetch about how they’re trying to do Israel in,” Baker said. Rather, he implored the audience to invest in Israel, to become “vocal locals” and “take matters into your own hands” by challenging anti-Israel bias with letters to the editor, op ed pieces and phone calls to reporters and editors. “This does not mean that you should in engage in media bashing, which is absolutely the worst thing you can do for the state of Israel,” Baker added. “Journalists want to report in a professional manner. They are
a favorable opinion of the Arablanguage television stations, AlJazeera and Al-Arabiyya. His harshest critiques were leveled at some in the European press, which he said sometimes “prefer to hype a pre-concocted storyline.” Sympathies within Burlington are divided on the issue — Burlington was the first American city to have sister cities in both Israel and Palestine. But those competing sentiments have also led to schisms within the peace movement. ICV board President Mitch Knisbacher notes, “We’re not going to convince anyone over at the Peace and Justice Center to change their minds” on their proPalestinian stance. But as Knisbacher also points out, the goal of the ICV isn’t only to be the “pro-Israel” voice on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but to help Vermonters recognize that Israel is a multifaceted nation that, like the United States, isn’t defined entirely by its foreign policies and security concerns. As he puts it, “The contributions that Israel makes, whether in science or medicine or technology or music, are phenomenal.” m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Father’s Day rocks
Tarrant’s Real Target
H
e’s already outspent every candidate in Vermont history — more than $3 million — and it’s his first campaign for office. But despite the tapping of his vast personal fortune, estimated to be in the $300 million range, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Richard Tarrant is getting little traction. In fact, we get calls from Vermonters ticked off by Tarrant’s prerecorded telephone messages, oversized campaign banners and endless TV commercials. In the latest public poll, Richie Rich was almost 40 points behind the frontrunner, Independent U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, the former mayor of Burlington. Sanders, a living legend of the left, has already expressed his confidence that the winner looks certain six months before the votes are counted. So why the hell is Rich Tarrant doing this? Politics is not a basketball court, and the St. Mike’s star of the ’60s looks like a rookie politician who can’t find the rim. Tarrant was even heckled during his brave-but-shaky performance at Sunday’s Darfur rally in Burlington’s City Hall Park. The weeks of rain had ended just an hour earlier and almost 500 people turned out to take a stand against the genocide in western Sudan. Considering most folks could not find Sudan on a map, that’s not a bad crowd. And the Essex High Schoolers who organized the event give us reason for slight hope in the future. Sanders spoke first and hit the right note. “If good people in Vermont and throughout the entire world do not stand up,” said Ol’ Bernardo, “bad things happen and will continue to happen. Our job is to make sure that Darfur gets on the front pages of the papers, and people stand up and say enough is enough!” Tarrant was up next, introduced as a person “who first came to Vermont on a basketball scholarship to St. Michael’s College and then founded IDX . . . and is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate.” Richie started great, even dribbled away from his prepared remarks and improvised a little. “I don’t know who that last speaker was, but I never thought I’d say this. I agree with him!” The crowd cheered. “I have to rip up my speech,” joked Tarrant. But then he got back “on message.” He pointed out the morning paper had reported that he, Richard Tarrant, had been “the first to accept” an invitation to speak. “And it blew your minds,” said the Republican corporate exec to the liberal stop-the-genocide crowd with a slight air of jock sarcasm. “Republicans do care,” shouted Richie. “I would submit to you,” said the man who sold IDX to General Electric for $1.2 billion last year, “that the American economic engine has a lot more potential than the American military engine to change the face of this Earth!” When he called for “prioritizing the economy of every nation on Earth,” some in the audience felt he was straying from the rally’s focus — the genocide in Darfur. A couple of catcalls halted him in his tracks. “I totally agree with what everybody said previously about the killing in
Darfur,” said a flustered Tarrant. “I totally agree, I don’t need to repeat it.” More cries come from the crowd. “We need to help the folks in Darfur, no question about it,” answered the millionaire ex-jock, “but that’s my goal, to make every hot spot in the world economically better so that there won’t be any more hot spots . . Thank you very much.” Tarrant quickly departed the stage. It hadn’t gone exactly as planned. But we’d suggest his remarks, even his appearance, at the Darfur rally are evidence of the real prize our favorite Vermont Republican gazillionaire is after — a Bush ambassadorship! Remember Skip Vallee? Excuse me, U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia Rodolphe “Skip” Vallee? Until he left for his new duties on the Danube, Ol’ Skip was a regular in this column. Vallee, like Tarrant, was very, very generous when it came to making cash donations to the Republican Party and Republican candidates. Skip, owner of a chain of convenience stores/gas stations with clean bathrooms, raised more than a million bucks for George W. Bush in 2004. In 2005, Mr. Bush showed his appreciation by appointing him our ambassador in Bratislava! And remember, Vallee also had one race under his belt — the 2000 Chittenden County state senate race, which he lost despite setting the state’s all-time spending record! As goes Skippy, so goes Richie? Look, Mr. Tarrant has already passed the GOP money test. Dropping another $10 million to make Bernie Sanders sweat has to be much appreciated at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Now Richie just has to show the White House he’s able to act like an ambassador. Walk like an ambassador. Talk like one, too. Some Slovakia-size, non-hot-spot country would fit the 6-foot-6 Tarrant perfectly. After all, the brand-new $8.8 million mansion Tarrant just built on the Atlantic coast, along the exclusive Hillsboro Mile in Broward County, Florida, was not built for a U.S. senator from Vermont. Let’s face it — it’s got “ambassador’s digs” written all over it. Good luck, Richie. Excuse me, Ambassador Tarrant! U.S. ambassador to Sudan? The Frontrunner — Vermont’s Republican chief executive, Jim Douglas, is the clear frontrunner in the governor’s race, and he’s acting like it. “As I go around the state, and I do that a lot,” said Jimbo the other day, “I feel good about the reception I’m getting from Vermonters. There’s a lot of support and appreciation. I feel very good about the coming campaign, but I don’t take it for granted.” “Vermont is a small state,” he noted, “and Vermonters expect to see their candidates many times.” And Vermonters do get to see their guv a whole lot more than his predecessor, whatshisname.

WENDELL SAYS… “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.

uling debates with Douglas? You may remember that, in 2002, Douglas debated Democrat Doug Racine ad nauseam starting in June. Asked about how he’s gone from a debate addict to a debate avoider, Douglas said that, back then, with an open seat, “Vermonters needed a lot of opportunities to meet the candidates and size them up.” Really? Even though Douglas and Racine had been perennial fixtures on the Vermont political stage for decades? “This is different,” said Douglas. “I’m focused on the responsibilities of governing. There’ll be plenty of time for an adequate number of debates, and I look forward to them.” When? “After the [September] primary,” he said. What’s an adequate number? “I don’t know.” No shock there, folks. Scudder the Democrat is, after all, a pretty good talker himself, and one would expect he’d more than hold his own in a head-to-head against Jimbo. On other items, Vermont’s GOP governor pooh-poohed the suggestion that he will suffer in November for the sins of the Republican regime in Washington. “All presidents in recent history have had bumps along the road in about the sixth year of their presidencies,” said Vermont’s leading Bush-Cheney supporter. “I don’t think there’s anything unusual about that.” Yes, but, respectfully, sir, can one really equate Monica Lewinsky with the deaths of 2500 U.S. soldiers in the ongoing, unjustified war in Iraq, which the Bush-Cheney team regrettably led us into? Gov. Douglas also said he was not pleased with the recent protest at the St. Johnsbury Academy graduation, where John Negroponte, the director of National Intelligence, gave the commencement address to his son’s graduating class. “I think it was unfortunate to disrupt the graduation of high school students to make their political points,” said Douglas. “I think they might have found some other ways to do it.” Like what? If one is staging a political protest, one needs an event worthy of disruption, right? “I guess that’s a good point,” replied Gov. Douglas with a chuckle. Unintelligence — In fact, a much bigger story came out of the St. Johnsbury Academy graduation than anyone expected, a story that, so far, is getting little play on the news networks or in the big-city dailies. And that story is: America’s director of National Intelligence is just plain stupid. Director Negroponte based his remarks on St. Johnsbury’s close connection to St. John, author of one of the four gospels in the Christian Bible: “In the beginning was the word . . . etc.” Negroponte chose to use the school’s name as the speech’s hook. “St. Johnsbury Academy in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Where did this name, which we use unthinkingly to designate a great institu-
tion in a beautiful place, come from?” asked Negroponte. “Who was St. John, and what relation might he have to education in particular?” It went downhill from there, folks, as Big Bad John kept hitting on good old St. John and a connection that did not exist. As reported Saturday in, of all places, the editorially far-right hometown Caledonian-Record, “St. Johnsbury was actually named for Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur at the suggestion of Ethan Allen.” Vermont historian Graham Newell told the CalRecord, “Crevecoeur was a French writer of letters praising the American experience.” OK. Everybody makes mistakes. Unfortunately, with Negroponte it’s a trend. In November 2002, when he was our United Nations ambassador, Negroponte told the Security Council the U.N. must “send a clear message to Iraq insisting on its disarmament in the area of weapons of mass destruction and delivery systems, or face the consequences.” Everybody now knows Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. That did not prevent Negroponte and his boss from convincing most Americans it did. Iraq is now facing the consequences, and so is the United States. In the beginning was the Bush-Negroponte word. And the word was a lie. Interesting Crowd — We’re talking about the crush of media and politics that turned out Sunday to honor Christopher Graff, the veteran Vermont journalist whom the Associated Press fired last March. Among the 150 attendees at UVM’s Waterman Lounge were political leaders and the journalists who covered them from the 1970s to the present. They ranged from folks elected in the 1970s, such as Sen. Patrick J. Leahy and Gov. Tom Salmon, to the present governor, Jim Douglas, and Speaker of the House Gaye Symington. Even that traveling Democratic Party salesman Howard Dean popped in. And Congressman Bernie Sanders, a dude who had some nasty battles with Graff in the “old days,” was there, too. In fact, Ol’ Bernardo is in such good spirits these days, he was laughing at WCAX-TV news director Marselis Parsons’ jokes! The AP says it fired Christopher Graff because he put a column by — ready for this? — Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, on the AP wire. Turns out it was a column St. Patrick had written for — are you ready for this? — the American Society of Newspaper Editors. The topic was — are you ready for this? — the growing threat to the Freedom of Information Act under the whatyou-don’t-know-won’t-hurt-you rule of the Bush-Cheney regime. “The foundations of our open government are under direct assault from the first White House in modern times that is openly hostile to the public’s right to know,” wrote Leahy. Hey, is he really allowed to say that in public? It was the second annual
SEVEN DAYS | june 07-14, 2006
“Sunshine Week,” as declared by America’s newspaper editors. Leahy also wrote a column for the first annual Sunshine Week in 2005. Graff put it out on the Vermont AP wire. His AP bosses said not a word. As everyone knows, this year was radically different. An hour after making the Leahy item available, Graff’s life changed. An AP editor up the chain of command yanked it so fast, one would have thought it was an obscene photo. It was a dark day in Vermont. Christopher Graff’s byline would never again appear above the words “Associated Press” on a news story. Vermont’s news and political communities were stunned. After all, Chris is known for his straight-down-the-middle style. So straight, he can’t recall having to write a correction during his Associated Press run. In the letter explaining his dismissal, AP Northern New England Bureau Chief Larry Laughlin wrote, “Your decision to allow an elected official’s editorial comments to run unfettered on the wire March 8 compromised the integrity and impartiality of the AP’s news report.” He accused Graff of “a failure in judgment.” Oh, really? You know, someone really should break the news to Mr. Laughlin that in Iowa, the Associated Press Bureau went a step farther and nobody got fired. In Iowa, the AP bureau requested, and Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack granted, an official proclamation declaring “Sunshine Week!” AP Iowa Bureau Chief Ann Riha and top political writer Mike Glover even posed for a picture with Gov. Vilsack at the signing. It’s clear to most Vermonters that a serious error in judgment was made here. But even the folks in Iowa will tell you, it wasn’t Chris Graff’s. P.S. This just in: Graff’s former boss, AP President and CEO Tom Curley, has just won the John Aubuchon Freedom of the Press Award from the National Press Club. Curley was recognized for his alleged extraordinary efforts to raise awareness and strengthen support for freedom of information issues. Congratulations, Mr. Curley. Have you ever heard of Chris Graff? Don’t worry, you will the next time you appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, ground zero in our country’s freedom-of-information battle. The vice chairman is, as you know, the tall, former county prosecutor from Vermont. Free advice for Curley: Read the column written by Sen. Patrick Leahy, the column that cost a highly respected Vermont journalist his job. Wouldn’t want you to come off like Moe or Larry with CSPAN watching. m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

ey, don’t blame me. All I do is comment on the news — I don’t actually make it up. Sometimes, true, I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m awake and that the nightmares I’m having are only dreams.

Curses, Foiled Again Police in the German town of Paderborn reported that thieves broke into an auto-repair shop and sliced open the roof of a convertible in an attempt to steal it. They left, according to the newspaper Bild am Sonntag, after they couldn’t start the vehicle. Police pointed out that the engine had been removed to be repaired. • Italian police said that two men stole a tow truck and drove to Rome’s high-end shopping district, Via Condotti, where they put the truck in reverse and tried to smash through the window of Bulgari’s jewelers. The window’s bulletproof glass withstood the impact, however, and the thwarted thieves fled.

Kaiser, 56, executive director of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, resigned after Portland police arrested her on suspicion of driving under the influence and reckless driving in connection with a two-car crash. According to the police report, a breath test showed Kaiser’s blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit. • Police in Eureka, Calif., said an automobile accident that hospitalized four people was caused by Jeremy Daniel Lee, 22, whom they arrested on suspicion of

How Government Works Investigators from the Justice Department’s ethics office were forced to end their probe into the conduct of department lawyers who approved the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program because the department denied them security clearances. “Only those involved in national security with a specific need to know are provided details about this classified program,” Justice Department official Brian Roehrkasse told The New York Times.
End of an Error A store at Minnesota’s Mall of America that sold naps for 70 cents a minute closed after attracting fewer than 1600 customers in six months. Steeve RamsDell, the owner of MinneNapolis, blamed the failure on the store’s inability to develop repeat
drunken driving. Officer Wayne Cox noted that the car Lee was driving had a bumper sticker reading, “I am not an alcoholic. I’m a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.” • Bioengineer Richard Deutsch invented a talking urinal to warn men not to drive drunk. According to the Washington Times, the Wizmark interactive urinal communicator is a motion-sensitive, battery-operated device about the size of a pine-scented sanitizer. Its miniature screen delivers a 15-second announcement to anyone using it, recommending, “Maybe it’s time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home.” Encouraged by the response to the Wizmark, Deutsch said that he has also developed a “sit-down” version for woman’s restrooms.
Second-Amendment Follies Six thousand weapons are missing from the J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum in Claremore, Okla., according to state Auditor Jeff McMahan. He said that when the state-owned museum was founded in the 1960s, its inventory listed more than 20,000 firearms and related items. “Now, there are only about 14,000,” he said. “Right now, we don’t know what happened to the other 6000 guns. I’ve heard that one missing gun from the museum has been confiscated from a crime scene in New York and another from a crime scene in Muskogee.” Claremore Police Chief Mickey Perry added that a machine gun from the museum was found in Maine. Duane Kyler, the museum’s executive director, denied that any guns are missing. “Everything is identified,” he insisted. “Everything’s cool.”

When Cartoon Voices Aren’t Enough Authorities in Lutz, Fla., reported that two college students were found dead inside a partially deflated helium balloon being used to advertise a condominium complex. Jason Ackerman and Sara Rydman, both 21, apparently pulled down the 8-foot-diameter balloon and crawled inside it, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Maj. Bob Schrader said.
Seeds of Protest Sri Lanka is experiencing a rash of suicide attempts, which authorities blame on the availability of poison from a common roadside plant, the yellow oleander. After discovering that the ornamental plant’s seed is deadly, two girls in the northern part of the island used one to kill themselves 25 years ago. Newspaper accounts of the deaths raised public awareness. “The next year, there were 23 cases,” British doctor Michael Eddleston, who has spent much of the past 10 years in Sri Lanka, told BBC News. “The year after that 46, then 126, and ever since then it has continued to rise year on year as it spread across the island.” Eddleston added that many young people take the oleander seeds to protest parental scolding. Even though most of these attempts are only half-serious, up to 10 percent of them are fatal.

NEWS FOR CULTURE VULTURES
Small Craft Warning
W
hat’s more worrisome to festival organizers than a 10-day forecast for rain? The changing demographics of cultural consumers, says Charlie Dooley, Vermont’s premier producer of outdoor craft shows. “Boomers are hitting 50 and 60; they don’t need as IMAGE Matthew much stuff anymore.� The next generation Thorsen is not only smaller — and probably less affluent —they’re also tempted by cheap knock-offs from China and the 24-hour allure of the Internet. Dooley used to go the Camelot-tent route when he put on a weekend-long craft show — and he still does in Stowe, where
Boomers are hitting 50 and 60; they don’t need as much stuff anymore. CHARLIE DOOLEY, CRAFTPRODUCERS
the whole town embraces the event. But that “high-risk, high-overhead� formula doesn’t appear to be working in other locations. “If we want to stay in business,� Dooley warns, “we need to figure out different ways of selling art and craft.� So Dooley is taking his show on the . . . water. Next Friday, June 23, he’s launching the first aquatic “Art Sail� in collaboration with the Spirit of Ethan Allen III. Twenty artists and craftspeople have been invited aboard; a handful of them hail from Vermont. For three hours, their handcrafted glass, jewelry, leather and fiber works will compete with the charms of Lake Champlain. Essex sculptor John Brickels, who constructs whimsical, off-kilter clay structures, plans to show some of his sturdier pieces. “If I’d had time, I would have done a Titanic, or a ship sinking,� he quips, exhibiting a sense of humor as wacky as his works. “But that might be in poor taste.� He adds, “Do you think people are really going to pay $65 a head?� Dooley certainly hopes so. Admission includes culinary creations paired with wines and champagne. With three enclosed decks, the exhibitors will be spread out enough to avoid a Champlain Valley Fair feel. “People can talk to them, get to know their work, spend the whole evening with them,� Dooley offers. If Brickels’ repartee is any indication, it promises to be a fun float. Functional, too: A portion of the proceeds from the art sales benefits the King Street
Youth Center. Here’s hoping everyone raises a boatload of cash. Creative fundraising is standard operating procedure for the South End Arts and Business Association — the nonprofit behind Burlington’s annual Art Hop started festooning flamingos way before the rest of the state got the idea of painting pigs and palettes. Now in its fourth year, the Flamingo Fling promises to be even more uplifting than in the past. Organizers redoubled their efforts this time around to get pink plastic birds out to anyone who showed an interest in transforming them. Many of them landed at the SEABA office yesterday, including the one brought over — and created by — Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss. “It’s quite the fancy ‘Moosingo,’� says Associate Director Brooke Hunter, who is largely responsible for the size of this year’s flock. “He put antlers on it. It’s in an oasis with flowers that look like they might have been handmade.� Many of the birds came from local design firms, such as Jager DiPaola Kemp, where they’ll be auctioned off in the Maple Street gallery from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursday. Bids start at $15. Entries range from a mirror-ball flamingo to the “Flacasso,� with two heads and two bodies. The next day, Friday, is “Palette-Palooza,� when 1000 artfully altered palettes — of 37,000 across Vermont — will be displayed on the statehouse lawn.

Brand New Bag

li Marchildon and Laura Cheney have found an artful way to stop strangers on the street, and it doesn’t involve carrying a cute puppy. Rather, those gushing sounds are reactions to Flashbags — the attention-grabbing totes the women have been making since last fall in the dining room of Marchildon’s Burlington home. The bags are sturdy rectangles with loop handles made of clear tubing, and they come in varied sizes to hold everything from makeup to wine bottles to . . . just stuff. But Flashbags’ appeal is not about practicality; it’s about art. Outside and in, they’re covered with color-copied, plastic-laminated original artworks — photographs, paintings, or col-
Marchildon says. “It’s fun for artists to see their work on a bag.” And the free cross-promotion is the epitome of “win-win.” At her gallery, Cowan reports selling more bags with copies of her paintings than any of the other designs. “I think people enjoy seeing art on the wall and then taking the bag away,” she suggests. Flashbags are also currently available at Salaam in Montpelier, Envi in Richmond and a retail outlet in Portland, Oregon, where Marchildon’s mother lives. Beginning next month, Flashbags will be one of a few select brands at Mi Bag, opening on upper Church Street in Burlington. Owner Jason Robinson, who also owns LeZot Camera Repair upstairs, says he will

lages of pop-culture images and text. That’s what distinguishes them from a bazillion similar totes; it’s what causes strangers to exclaim, “Ooh, where did you get that bag?” And then there’s the funky stitching, in unique patterns around the edges and sometimes swirling across the sides. “The stitching helps make them pieces of art,” declares Marchildon, who notes that no two bags are identical. Wherever Flashbags are seen, she marvels, “people are wild about them.” No wonder the nascent brand’s tagline is “Carry a conversation.” A “Flash Party and Flashion Show” this Saturday at Pine Street Art Works — where the bags have been selling since December — will no doubt get some tongues a-wagging. The invitation already has: It includes a photograph of Marchildon, Cheney and three girlfriends wearing nothing but strategically placed Flashbags, big smiles and semi-disguising wigs. Call it naked truth in advertising. It’s generally women who are wild about purse-type items, and most Flashbag designs have a more or less ladylike look. For example, floral watercolors by Burlington artist Katharine Montstream; women in the faux-Leger portraits by artist Liza Cowan, owner of Pine Street Art Works; or abstract paintings in pretty colors by Connecticut artist Tati Kaupp. But there’s nothing too girly about a dude hanging 10 on a 50foot wave. That and other marinethemed images are the work of renowned Hawaiian surf photographer/videographer Don King. Shots by a local 19-year-old skateboarder are similarly sporty. Who says bags can’t be a guy thing? Marchildon and Cheney have entered licensing agreements with about half a dozen artists so far, and that alone ensures nearly endless aesthetic options. The women developed this collaborative model while enrolled in the Women’s Small Business Project earlier this year. “Marketing their images, crediting them — it’s great for everybody,”
sell bags by the Australian line Crumpler as well as Burton — both brands are utilitarian, masculine and made with “heavy, water-resistant, rip-stop material,” Robinson explains. “We wanted to carry Flashbags because they’re local, and we were also looking for a softer bag for female customers.” It was the naked-lady invitation that first caught his eye. “But, it being about bags, it doubly caught my attention,” he says. When the Flashbags website launches this month, online shoppers will be able to customize bags with their own uploaded images. Imagine what the Myspace generation can do with this! Imagine a nation of grandmothers carrying baby pictures on their purses, not just in them. For that matter, more artists will surely see the merit of this portable advertising approach as well. Marchildon is working with an attorney to prepare for a mind-boggling array of potential legal issues regarding images. But at least her bags no longer scream copyright infringement. Marchildon, 36, began making totebags as a creative pastime while living in Hawaii. That’s where she met Don King — his son and one of her two boys were best friends. King donated some of his sea-and-surf photos, but mostly she used copyrighted pop-culture pictures from magazines. The bags were one-of-akind items she gave to family and friends. In January 2005, when Marchildon’s husband took a job in Vermont, the family found a home in Burlington’s South End. It was a harsh move. “We dropped 80 degrees in one day,” she says. “I thought I was going to die. I couldn’t meet anyone for two months — we were hibernating.” Marchildon had to start over professionally as well; though she’d taught art at a private preschool in Hawaii, she had no teaching certificate and, she says, “Here the artteaching community is really saturated.” She decided to enroll in the
ALI MARCHILDON AND LAURA CHENEY
University of Vermont to earn an arteducation degree, but meanwhile her mother visited and brought her a lifesaving gift: a Bernini sewing machine. “I had no social life, so I started making things,” Marchildon says. A friend from Washington, D.C., had told her about “these great bags she’d seen made from old magazine covers. The wheels started turning — I couldn’t stop thinking about them,” Marchildon says. “When I got the new sewing machine, that’s when I really got into [making bags]. I hadn’t planned a business, but people really loved them.” She made bags from skateboarder magazines for her son’s skate-park set; she sent a batch to her mother to sell in Portland. “I started to think, ‘This could really fly,’” Marchildon says. But the more bags she made, the more warnings she heard about copyright issues. “I knew I wasn’t going to get permission for pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn,” she recalls. “Meanwhile, more and more people were asking for bags — it was Christmastime.” Marchildon knew she needed help, not only with sewing but with creating a business. That’s when she heard, from her hairdresser, about Laura Cheney, now 30. “She’d had the seeds of an idea — she had been making funky vintage bags and was going to create a space for others to come in and make their own bags,” Marchildon explains. Instead, the two women met, hit it off immediately, and decided to form a partnership. (Cheney was out of state last week and unavailable for this interview.) Grad school moved to the back burner. After getting through last year’s holiday season, the women
“decided to stop selling and devise a business plan,” Marchildon says. Except the sales didn’t stop. Last November, Cowan had seen a Flashbag prototype on a woman at her daughters’ school and “pounced on her,” she says. She was just starting Pine Street Art Works and loved the idea of selling the bags. She ordered some with her own artwork as well as that of fellow inaugural exhibitor David Klein. “David was elated when he saw a bag with his old Beanie [the Singing Dog] poster on it,” Marchildon says. This was, she adds, “the first time I saw the potential of taking original artwork with permission.” WCAX-TV reporter Jack Thurston took notice; he did a piece on Flashbags at the end of January. It happened to be the first day of the WSBP class. “Things kept happening that way for us,” says Marchildon. “We were running to keep up.” Last month a different kind of opportunity for Flashbags arose. Marchildon and Cheney made a few bags featuring photographs of Sudanese children — shot by former “Lost Boy” Isaac Majak, now of Boston — to benefit an educational initiative back home. “It was very moving to speak with this young man,” Marchildon says. “He’s supporting 15 people in Sudan on his Dunkin’ Donuts salary.” In the future, Marchildon predicts, “One section of our business will be nonprofit, when we can afford it.” But right now, these Flashbag ladies are focused on getting through their party, launching the website, and training more sewers. “Eventually,” she says, “we will move out of my house.” m

ant to play “The Da Vinci Code?” Sure, you probably wonder if the new game is any good. Not that it matters. With 59 million copies of the book in print across the globe, people will skip the usual quality inspection and drop 40 bucks to try it out simply because it’s a game based on a wildly popular novel. Just look at the new movie. Even though critics like to use words like “lame” and “flop” when trying to capture the special cinematic appeal of Ron Howard’s bigscreen adaptation, the ample derision heaped on the movie didn’t slow the pileup of box-office receipts. The book was a smash, so the movie will do fine, even if it only diverts a fraction of fans curious about the adaptation. And who cares if it’s a train wreck? For 10 bucks a head, we can rubberneck at that, too. Gamers are used to this. The videogame aisles are littered with endless attempts to cash in on popular appeal imported from other media. Sometimes it works. The “King Kong” games were not a wonder of the gaming world. But they got the job done. Sometimes they don’t. The big-budget “Enter the Matrix” got a science-fiction kung-fu drubbing from the critics, but probably sold as many, if not more, games than Kong. Even when critical praise and popular appeal coincide, it usually happens so far from the scene of the licensing crime that it doesn’t seem fair to call the result a spin-off. The “Lego Star Wars: The Video Game” picked up the viral Lucas thread after it wound its way through toys, then Legos and finally into games. Who would have guessed one of the best “Star Wars” games would let you play a stubby plastic Obi Wan smacking ’droids into little Lego pieces? Video games have been so good at letting us pretend to pilot military jets, drive performance sports cars and administer entire cities, it shouldn’t surprise us that they also promise to serve up the fantasy that your favorite book, movie or television show can keep going on and on. But is “The Da Vinci Code” game any good? If you’ve never read the book or seen the film, all the game does is underline the story’s hokey premise and thin characterizations. Had the game predated the movie and book, people would point to it as an example of why video games dumb down narrative and pile on cliché. If — and this is where the whole business model of licensed derivate properties turns — you’re a fan of the original, then “The Da Vinci Code” game lets you participate in a plot that was never much more than a game in the first place. Exploring exotic locales and solving puzzles drove Dan Brown’s book to the heights of publishing fame. And the same

Vice Breaker
Sirota talks and signs copies of Hostile Takeover: How Big Money & Corruption Conquered Our Government — and How We Take It Back, Saturday, June 17, 6 p.m., at Borders, Burlington.
avid Sirota is a rare breed among political strategists — a successful idealist. Capitol Hill is rife with ambitious, young wonks with overachiever resumes and public-policy degrees from elite institutions like Harvard, Georgetown and the LBJ School. But few are able to convert their elite academic pedigrees into careers of national prominence, while still remaining true to their populist roots. Sirota, a former press secretary for Congressman Bernie Sanders, has earned his populist credentials and his whiz-kid reputation — at age 30, he’s already considered a veteran campaign operative, nationally acclaimed commentator, blogger and now bestselling author. Like his former boss in Vermont, Sirota is also known as a straight-shooting iconoclast who isn’t afraid to call bullshit on Washington’s powerful movers and shakers who suckle at the corporate teat. His first book, Hostile Takeover: How Big Money & Corruption Conquered Our Government — and How We Take It Back, may be the most scathing indictment yet of how both political parties have been hijacked by Big Money. “Just as the mom-and-pop store in your town was bought out by the big corporate conglomerate, so has our government been the victim of a hostile takeover,� Sirota writes. “Over the last 30 years, Corporate America has applied its most effective business tactics to the task of purchasing the one commodity that’s not supposed to be for sale: American democracy.� In Hostile Takeover, Sirota reveals his vast knowledge on such issues as energy policy, pensions, taxes, health care and tort reform, while exposing the many myths and false narratives that Corporate America have spun into the national dialogue. Among them: that lawsuits and jury awards are out of control; that universal health coverage would lead to rationed care; that energy conservation would kill jobs and stall the economy; and that low unemployment figures mean the economy is humming along. More than just an unrelenting assault on Capitol Hill
influence peddling, Hostile Takeover offers tangible solutions for how Americans can reclaim their government and get the country back on track. A New Haven, Connecticut, native who grew up in Philadelphia, Sirota got his start in national politics while still a college senior. In 1998, he took a semester off from journalism school at Northwestern to work on the Chicago Democratic primary, which eventually helped land him the job as Sanders’ press secretary. In 1999, Sirota took a leave of absence from Sanders’ staff to work as a political consultant for Brian Schweitzer, then an unknown mint farmer from Whitefish, Montana, who was making his first-ever run for elected office — a nearly successful bid for the U.S. Senate against entrenched Republican Sen. Conrad Burns. Though Schweitzer lost that race by four percentage points, Sirota teamed up with Schweitzer again in 2004, this time helping him become Montana’s first Democratic governor in 16 years. >> 26A

Over the course of his 25-year political career — from Burlington City Hall to the U.S. Congress — Rep. Bernie Sanders has hired legions of like-minded Lefties. Many have gone on to do some very intriguing things. In the partial list of alumni below, the ripples extend from the Burlington City Council to Fox News. Don Edwards Washington, D.C. THEN: Veterans Affairs Advisor, 1997-1999 NOW: Vice President and Director, SRA International Edwards, a 38-year Army vet, went to work for Bernie after serving as adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard. In 1999, he left Vermont for Washington, D.C., to manage IT programs for companies that work with the Department of Defense; he’s currently a vice president and director for one such company, SRA International. Despite still being a “Bernie fan,� he also appears as a military analyst on Fox News.
Sarah Kenney Burlington, Vermont THEN: Staff Assistant and Press Assistant, 1997-1998 NOW: Public Policy Coordinator, Vermont Network Against Domestic and Sexual Violence
Eric Olson College Park, Maryland THEN: Legislative Assistant, 1995-1999 NOW: City Councilor Sanders gave Olson his first job on Capitol Hill. From there, Olson went to the Center for Voting and Democracy, where he served as deputy director; in 2003 he took a job with the Sierra Club and is now director of its Healthy Communities Campaign. He’s also a city councilor in College Park,

Maryland — elected while he was still working for Sanders in 1997 — and is now running for a seat on the Prince Georges County Council.
Joel Barkin New York, New York THEN: Communications Director, 2002-2005 NOW: Founder, Progressive States Network Post-Bernie, Barkin helped found the Progressive States Network. This group of state legislators, policy wonks and organizations from all 50 states seeks what Barkin calls “a progressive consensus� on economic and social justice issues — many of them causes he watched Sanders successfully champion in Vermont and around the country, he says.

To describe Sirota as driven would be an understatement. While on Sanders’ staff, he began writing a twice-weekly newsletter for the Progressive Caucus. When he later went to work as a spokesman for the House Appropriations Committee, Sirota began penning similar pieces about that committee’s work — a precursor to the blogs and newsletters he would later found. As a fellow at the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C., Sirota launched “The Progress Report,” a daily newsletter and political analysis of national and international news. Today, he works as senior editor for the progressive magazine In These Times, and is the founder and co-chair of the Progressive Legislative Action Network, a blogger for Working Assets, and a twiceweekly guest on “The Al Franken Show.” He’s also a regular contributor to The Nation and The American Prospect, and has been a guest on, among others, National Public Radio, CNN, CNBC and MSNBC. On June 14, Sirota is the featured guest on Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report.” Sirota stops by Burlington June 17 to promote his book. His former boss, Sanders, is expected to make an appearance. Seven Days spoke to Sirota last week by phone from his home in Helena, Montana, where he lives with his wife, Emily.

SEVEN DAYS: You’ve worked both as a campaign operative and a political commentator. Which do you prefer? DAVID SIROTA: That’s a good question . . . I only want to work on campaigns and for people whom I feel really, really inspired by . . . I actually thought I would be one of these campaign junkies when I first started out. At the beginning, it can be addicting. But after a couple of campaigns, I was like, “I can’t make this my life.” You’ll notice there are a lot of people on campaigns who have dysfunctional lives, whose marriages are bad. It’s so grueling. I also think that if you become a professional, you almost lose what’s great about American politics, which is the authenticity and the inspiration.

Jeremy Brecher West Cornwall, Connecticut THEN: Policy Analyst, 1999 NOW: Author and Historian After a very brief stint with Sanders, Brecher resigned over the congressman’s stand on U.S. military action in Yugoslavia. He’s written nine books on labor and social movements and won five regional Emmy Awards for his documentary film work. He and Brendan Smith — who are frequent co-authors — share a byline in this week’s Nation.
Dean Corren Burlington, Vermont THEN: Vermont Outreach Director, 2000-2002 NOW: Director of Technology Development, Verdant Power Corren is working for a Virginia-based firm that develops kinetic hydropower — that is, hydropower that doesn’t depend on dams. He calls the technology “a follow-up” to a kind of water turbine he developed as a research scientist at NYU. He predicts, “There will be a multi-turbine array of kinetic hydropower in the East River in the near future.”
Jeanne Keller Burlington, Vermont THEN: Assistant City Clerk, City Treasurer’s Office, 1982-1985 NOW: Health Care Consultant Keller belonged to the first wave of Sanders’ mayoral appointees. He put her in charge of administering the city’s health-insurance program, and she created a risk-management office in the treasurer’s department. She later worked for Peter Welch, then spent 12 years advising an employer coalition on health care. She’s now a consultant who trains hospital-risk managers and works with clients such as the Vermont Department of Health.
Joanna Berk Richmond, Vermont THEN: Administrative Secretary in the City Clerk’s office and Assistant City Clerk NOW: Information and Assistance Coordinator, Champlain Valley Agency on Aging After her stint at City Hall, Berk took a series of short-term jobs that let her focus on her activism for Central American and antinuclear causes. For the past 16 years, she’s been working for the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging. She’s currently an Information and Assistance Coordinator who fields calls from seniors, service providers and caregivers. She says, “We help them to navigate the system.”

ing democracy and reviving populism. How did populism fall out of favor? DS: Every force in modern American politics . . . is trying, in one way or another, to encourage candidates to bend to what bigmoney interests want. And obviously, if you bend, that’s the antithesis to being a populist . . . It takes an extraordinary politician to be a populist, and to be a populist who’s got a chance of winning elections. What I’m trying to do with my work is help create a movement and infrastructure . . . where you don’t have to be an extraordinary politician to be a populist. DS: Couldn’t it be argued that voters are caught in a Catch-22? By voting out a senior congressman or senator who doesn’t always do the right thing, they lose a powerful voice who brings home the bacon. DS: That’s the same argument that [Montana Senator] Conrad Burns uses . . . Most people think that all politicians are basically corrupt and that in a corrupt system, most people can bring money back to their state if they hang around long enough. Right now, especially, there’s a premium on authenticity and there’s a premium on no more politics as usual. So I think we have a major opportunity to throw out that argument. I just don’t think it moves people anymore . . . What people want are real people who behave like real people. It explains why . . . somebody like John McCain is popular. He . . . came off as a straight shooter. He was willing to talk about taboos. Bernie Sanders, same thing. Brian Schweitzer, same thing . . . Real people have real convictions. People are sick and tired of politicians being a separate species from the human race.
ing election results and building a false story around them. Up until very recently, those narratives were created by the DLC. After Al Gore lost, they wrote, “Oh, it was because he was too populist,” and that sunk into the conventional wisdom. But what I’m encouraged by now is, there’s an alternative movement being built where the real narratives are being told. SD: In Hostile Takeover, you attack the media for “telling us stories about birds and bees” instead of the ugly truth about Xrated public policies. Yet, many of the most egregious examples of Big Money’s abuses were uncovered by the media. DS: There are two issues. One is that . . . most of the stories that were covered were never given the kind of play or attention they deserve . . . One of my fundamental critiques is that the media have, in many cases, treated the most political issues — or the issues that should be the most political — as nonpartisan business issues. They’ve gone along with the politicization of what should be the least political issues, issues about religion and privacy . . . The other thing is how the media has not played its watchdog role. Not everything is a hesaid-she-said issue. One of the media’s roles is to point out when somebody says something that’s an egregious, calculated lie. The media’s role is not to just get some Democrat and say, “Well, according to this Democrat, it’s a lie.” It’s their job to point out when people are lying. So, yes, I relied on the media to get some of the information, and so I’m thankful that that information was reported. But as I make clear in the book, the story lines with which the
facts are presented are a huge part of this hostile takeover. SD: With the president’s approval rating hovering at around 30 percent, why isn’t the Washington press corps more aggressive? DS: Two things. The first is that the administration has threatened them with access. So there’s a direct threat. Secondly . . . in Washington there is a very tightly knit consensus. The connective tissue is relationships. People just don’t want to talk about certain things. People don’t want to be confrontational about taboo issues. There’s a wink-and-nod complicity to all this. It’s not a conspiracy. If a reporter asked a really embarrassing question about a lie that the press secretary of the White House told and everybody in the room knows it’s an egregious lie, they’re going to have to see that person at the White House Christmas party. That sounds like a cliché, but that really is part of the corrupted culture there . . . That’s the thing I couldn’t stand about watching the U.S. Senate. You get the feeling that . . . after they have their fights on the Senate floor, when they go into the cloak rooms, all of them are friends. I’m of the belief that these issues are too important. I can’t be friends with somebody who is trying to destroy this country and who is waging a class war on ordinary people. SD: So you’re an idealist. DS: Yeah, sure! That doesn’t mean that you can’t work with someone who’s bad on lots of issues if they want to be good on a certain bill. That’s not what I’m saying . . . Ultimately, at the end of the day, we’re all Americans, but I’m the kind of person who thinks that the political system in this country is not as polarized as the public policies that are being forced down America’s throat. SD: Why is religion such a thorny issue for the Left? DS: I don’t think it has to be. I think it’s because progressives have allowed the Right to own religion, to make it their property. We’ve allowed religion to be defined exclusively on issues like choice and gay marriage . . . You can see the corporate bigmoney motive to that. Corporations have no problem if choice is a big issue. “Great! We’re not talking about how we’re ripping off people’s pensions. That’s terrific!” But I don’t think it’s because people feel more strongly about those social issues than they do about fundamental issues like economic fairness, poverty, etc. . . . So if fundamental economic issues have been depoliticized, how do I choose my vote if both guys are corporate whores? I have to find some other way to decide how to vote. I’m either not going to vote, or I’ll decide that I like the guy who is like me on cultural issues. m

Night Feeding Anna’s face turns upstream toward the source, feeding from Kate’s breast. I’m faced that way too sitting beside them in the half-dark at half-past something. Faced toward Creation’s good profile, if it has one. And I’m feeding too, off the nightlight’s inventions: baby rattles turn to swans on the ceiling, crib-bars become angelfish on the walls. Other nights, I’ve turned away to eye baby-mobiles dangling above me like lures from the past, brazen faces, garters scattered by a bed, unadulterated play. Gone in time’s wayward stream. Almost retrievable. What turns me back toward Anna’s face is the fullest nourishment. Her moon-face floating under a swelled breast, and Kate’s face drifting above her girl-child’s. I imagine my own wavering beside them on the couch, turned toward whatever issues out of nothingness, whatever grows toward this feeding at this dim hour, when sustenance seems far off, or close at hand, flowing down the current to me if I will only open my mouth and let the moment stream in. NEIL SHEPARD “Night Feeding� appears in This Far From the Source, Mid-List Press, forthcoming this July.

How an influx of female doctors is changing the way health care is delivered Last Sunday, at 10:40 a.m., Laura McCullough became a doctor. Ninety-six other graduates of the University of Vermont’s College of Medicine also received their M.D.s, the culmination of years of hard work, long hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sixty-two percent of those graduates were female, making this the largest number of women ever to graduate from UVM med school. That number is not an anomaly. For nine of the last 10 years, female medical students have outnumbered males at UVM. “We like to think we’re leading the way,” says John Evans, dean of the College of Medicine. Evans joined the faculty in 1976, when fewer than 15 percent of the graduates were women. “I’d have to say that it’s the single greatest demographic change in medicine,” he says. “It’s a national trend, but we’ve been ahead of the curve for a while.” Women now account for roughly half of all medical school students, even at historically male strongholds like Harvard. Nationwide, the number of women physicians has increased eight-fold since 1970. In Vermont, the statistics are similarly striking. Although women still account for only 29 percent of all physicians in the state, the number is up 7 percent from just two years ago, and climbing rapidly: Eighty-nine percent of all doctors over age 55 in Vermont are men; only 44 percent of those under 35 are. This trend has merited its own moniker in medical circles — “the feminization of medicine” — but the general public has barely seemed to notice. Most people, except perhaps the elderly, are no longer shocked to be treated by a woman. But they might be surprised to learn that at UVM, women med students are more likely to go into urology than men are to become obstetricians. Or that Gen X and Y doctors — male and female alike — work far fewer hours than their predecessors, largely because women physicians have demanded a more balanced lifestyle and forced open the door to part-time work. What impact is the influx of women physicians having on health care? More than anyone would imagine.
dent of Harvard, learned too late. Summers succumbed to faculty pressure and resigned in February after asserting that innate differences between men and women could help explain why women lag behind in science and math careers. Certainly no one is saying that with regard to medicine. Yet some reflexively bristle at the open discussion of differences in practice styles between men and women. Nevertheless, in March 2005, an online newsletter of the New England Journal of Medicine tacitly acknowledged the distinction when it chose to reprint a Chicago Tribune article stating, “Medicine is generally becoming more patient-friendly, treatment is improving, and malpractice suits may become less common” because of the presence of women. “I do think females bring a softer side to medicine,” says recent UVM grad McCullough; her perception is echoed by many physicians around the state. While administrators at UVM stress that communication skills are more likely to be determined by personality than by gender, research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) indicates that women physicians typically spend more time communicating with patients. They are also more likely to discuss the emotional influences on a patient’s health. As a result, patients are less likely to sue when things go wrong. Women do have statistically fewer malpractice suits than men. And for whatever reason, women draw more patients into a practice. “There is a huge demand for women doctors,” declares
Lori Leo, the owner of the New England Physician Recruitment Center. “Patients, and practices, are looking for women.” The repercussions in health care are profound. Women are twice as likely to go into primary care — welcome news for the specialty of family practice, which has been on the verge of collapse. U.S. News & World Report recently ranked UVM in the top 15 percent of U.S. medical schools for primary care. In large part, that’s due to women students. In the last three years, 14 women, but only two men, at UVM have chosen a career in family medicine. More women than men have also opted for internal medicine. Women physicians tend to cluster in specialties such as obstetrics and pediatrics as well, which is more good news for women and children. But it’s a potentially worrisome trend for a country full of aging baby boomers who are more likely to need orthopedists, pulmonologists and
cardiologists in years to come. (Vermont is the second-oldest state in the union.) According to JAMA, the number of practicing pulmonologists is expected to drop over the next 25 years, while need for them will increase by 66 percent; cardiology has similar figures. Many experts think this is due in part to the increase in women doctors. “We also don’t see a huge number of women in medical school going into The notion that there may be demanding surgical subspecialties,” says fundamental differences between the sexes Elizabeth Jillson, a clinical associate procan be a political minefield in education, fessor at UVM and part-time Essex pediaas Lawrence Summers, the former presitrician. Given that 35 percent of doctors ILLUSTRATION BY STEFAN BUMBECK. THIS PAGE: LAURA MCCULLOUGH, RIGHT, WITH currently practicing in the state did their FELLOW GRADUATES KERRIE ADAMS AND ERIN LECHNER.

Vermont, what happens at UVM is particularly relevant to the future of Vermont health care. Since 2003, only six women at UVM have chosen to specialize in general surgery. On the other hand, during the same period 34 women chose pediatrics; 18 went for obstetrics/gynecology.
Why are women avoiding certain fields? The average age of a first-year UVM med student is nearly 26. After completing four years of school, women thinking about having families may be inclined to limit additional training to the three years needed to become a pediatrician, internist or family-practice doctor. Training to become a surgeon or to enter some specialties takes five-plus years. Debra Gargiulo, a 2005 graduate of UVM’s College of Medicine, is an exception — she chose a career in general surgery. But Gargiulo was already an atypical student. A math teacher in inner-city Boston for 20 years, she began med school at age 40. With 50 percent of her classmates women, Gargiulo wondered why only 5 percent were going into surgery. As part of a senior year research project, she surveyed surgery and obstetric/gynecology attending physicians, residents and thirdand fourth-year medical students about their choice of specialty. Her findings were published last month in the journal Archives of Surgery. “I started with the hypothesis that women didn’t go into surgery because they didn’t have an identifiable role model, or that they were choosing not to go into surgery because of lifestyle,” says Gargiulo. “But that didn’t explain why they were choosing to go into obstetrics,” which also has long, unpredictable hours. Instead, Gargiulo found that it was the “surgical personality” that was turning many women off. In the comment section of the survey, one student mentioned the chauvinism of some of the surgeons and didn’t want them as colleagues. Others — men and women — echoed that sentiment.

that while surgery as a whole is viewed as chauvinistic and hierarchical, UVM is generally considered benign in this regard.) Change will no doubt come as more women assume academic leadership positions. Gargiulo tells the story of a family friend, now in her eighties, who applied to a prestigious medical school and was told she could sit in on classes to “appease her curiosity,� but that she could not get credit. Accepted elsewhere, she went on to become a brilliant pediatric cardiologist. “Now we can laugh at that,� says Gargiulo. “Hopefully, down the line, we’ll also laugh that one day we were worried there weren’t enough women in administrative roles or in surgery.� That day may come sooner rather than later. In 2003, the chief of surgery at Johns Hopkins was asked to speak at UVM. She recounted for the students how her 6-year-old son had recently posed a wonderfully innocent question. “Mom?� the little boy asked, “can boys become surgeons, too?�
Even in specialties where chauvinism is no longer rampant, a career in medicine can present serious obstacles to women in their twenties or early thirties. Nathalie Feldman, an Essex Junction obstetrician/ gynecologist, entered medical school in 1983 with a confident, can-do attitude. With an undergraduate degree from Yale and an M.D. from McGill, she was on the fast track to a prestigious career. She even published numerous research articles in her early residency years. In the third year, she and her husband, also a physician, decided to start a family. Life as an OB/GYN resident involved staying all night at the hospital every third night. “I vowed that no one would have to do more call because I was having a baby,� says Feldman. Once her daughter was born, Feldman would often have her brought to the hospital parking lot between clinics so she could nurse her. “It was a brutal schedule and a constant struggle to find time to be with the baby,� she says. Finally, after the birth of her second child and nine years of private practice, Feldman decided to cut back. In 2001, she ended her partnership arrangement and stopped her obstetrics and surgical practice entirely. She now sees patients as an employee of her former partners and works two or three days a week. Feldman is hardly alone in her decision to reduce her hours. According to numerous national studies, gender is a strong predictor of part-time work. Of course there are plenty of female workaholics, women who put in longer hours or more days than their male counterparts. According to the 2004 Physician Survey conducted by the Vermont Department of Health, women surgeons put in the longest hours of anyone in any
specialty, male or female. Nevertheless, the Council on Graduate Medical Education, a government-sanctioned oversight committee that assesses physician workforce trends, has cited extensive research showing that women physicians typically work fewer hours than male physicians, largely due to family responsibilities. Physician Executive magazine reports that some hospitals discount the economic benefit of a female physician’s labor at .8 FTE (full-time equivalent) of the full-time week for male physicians when estimating staffing needs. While this may seem discriminatory, no one is accusing women of being lazy. Hospitals often consider full-time for physicians to be 60 hours, so someone working .8 FTE is still putting in at least a 40-hour workweek. Jonna Goulding, a family practitioner who shares a practice with her husband at Randolph’s Gifford Medical Center, is a textbook case. Considered .75 FTE, she nevertheless puts in 40- to 50-hour weeks. (Her husband also works part-time in the emergency room.) “My children don’t want to pursue a career in medicine,� says Goulding. “They say we work too hard.� But in primary care, 60-hour work weeks are routine. The unavoidable demands of a practice — dictating medical charts, required medical education courses, credentialing, after-hour patient calls, board exams, office meetings, committee work, insurance paperwork, hospital and nursing home rounds — make actual face-to-face time with patients a surprisingly small part of a physician’s day. Laws have been passed in recent years that limit residents to working 80 hours per week. But the culture of certain specialties, particularly surgery, can be exceptionally demanding. Surgical residents routinely ignore the rule. “It would take a really tough person to say, ‘I’m going home,’� says Jillson. “They’re supposed to die with their boots on.�
Twenty years ago, a part-time physician was almost unheard of. But as more women enter the profession, their desire to balance work and home life has caused a seismic shift in practice patterns. According to the 2004 Physicians Survey, only 36 percent of women physicians in Vermont — and 53 percent of men — now provide patient care 40 or more hours a week. “The half-time option started out with women wanting to combine career and family,� explains Dayle Klitzner, a part-time family-practice doctor in Middlebury. “And then society changed, and now it’s more acceptable for men to work part-time, too. It’s now a lifestyle choice.� Ask physicians who have been in the business for 20 years or more and they’ll say the younger generation is generally unwilling to work the long
hours of the past. If the Vermont survey is accurate, between 2002 and 2004 the number of doctors putting in more than 40 hours per week of patient care dropped by 12 percent, while the number working fewer than 30 hours increased by 24 percent. Some older physicians worry that by working part-time, doctors are denying patients continuity of care. Others, who missed the birth of their baby or rarely got to see a child’s softball game, are more supportive. “The new generation is much less driven to work long hours, even in their specialty choices,� acknowledges Nathalie Feldman. “They’re going into emergency medicine, or anesthesia, where you have to work but there’s no call. They have a much clearer sense of what their priorities are going into it than I did.� Medical schools have become more accommodating. Most now routinely grant maternity and paternity leaves, a big change from 20 years ago when a student who gave birth was expected to return to work two weeks later. Even students like Laura McCullough, who plans to work full-time after med school regardless of family demands, can benefit from the change in attitude. “I have a quarter of a million dollars in debt,� says McCullough. “Parttime is not a reality for me.� She also points out that residency programs now flaunt familyfriendly policies as a way to attract graduates. The rules governing tenure in academic institutions are also changing. Once limited to those who completed training requirements within a certain number of years, tenure is now more often based on accomplishments regardless of time limits. As a result, women who take time off to raise children are no longer effectively barred from reaching positions of academic leadership. Although women are still woefully underrepresented in top positions — only 10 percent of med school deans are women — they will no doubt make real strides over the next decade.
Maternity and paternity leave, humane work hours — these seem like positive developments. Yet a glaring question remains: Who will take care of the patients? Simple mathematics dictate that as doctors work less and an aging population needs them more, a shortage of physician hours could lead to a health-care crisis. A 2002 article in Health Affairs, a leading health-policy journal, predicted that by 2020 there will be 200,000 too few physicians in the United States; more conservative estimates puts the shortage between 65,000 and 150,000. Such forecasts are especially startling given that not long ago the medical community was predicting a doctor surplus. That never materialized, some say because so many

physicians have chosen to work fewer hours. Other factors contribute to the impending shortage. Medical economists point to everything from baby-boomer retirements to the premature departure from the work force of physicians frustrated by long hours, rising practice (and malpractice) expenses, and problems with Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements.
off is more valuable than money, especially in places like Vermont where the cliché has always been that half the pay is in scenery. “I can see myself working part-time for a long time,” says Klitzner. “If I were slaving away, I’d be thinking about retirement.” Another unexpected benefit may be that physicians will get creative with their schedules. “They will do shift work, flex time, work on evenings or weekends,” says Shu. “It’s no longer a 9-to-5 world. We can meet parents after hours so they don’t have to miss work every time a kid is sick.” P.A.s or nurse practitioners may also fill some gaps.

The Whole World Is Watching What’s the score on soccer in the U.S.?
I
t’s been really hard for Americans to understand soccer. There isn’t much trash talk, and there’s no half-time show or commercial breaks. There is no punching or body slamming. STORY There isn’t a lot of gear or gadgets. MIKE No vehicles are involved. Sometimes, MARTIN no goals are scored in a 90-minute game, even though players — grown IMAGE men, mind you — roll around on the MATTHEW ground whimpering to get a free kick. THORSEN Still, this week Burlington-area soccer fans have been turning out in impressive numbers to watch the World Cup’s first games. Walt Levering, owner of the Windjammer Restaurant & Upper Deck Pub in South Burlington and a soccer supporter, confirms that around 20 fans arrived at the sports-oriented pub around noon on Friday to watch the first match — Germany vs. Costa Rica. There were also big afternoon crowds at Rí Rá on Church Street, Euro Gourmet on lower Main Street, and even Finnigan’s Pub, where American football usually reigns. Does this mean soccer is finally coming of age in the U.S.? Maybe. Even though ESPN2 will be showing every single World Cup game this year, and though more Americans are playing and watching soccer, we still don’t watch it that much. It’s estimated that just 3.9 million of us tuned into the last World Cup final, compared to the 95 million who camped out in front of television sets during the last Super Bowl. However, now that we have a national team playing in the Cup, soccer has at least piqued our curiosity. (Perhaps not for long: The U.S. lost to the Czech Republic Monday; the next game, with Italy, is Saturday.) Elsewhere around the globe, an important soccer game has the power to paralyze entire nations: Offices are closed, city centers are deserted, beaches are empty. In unison everyone turns to their TVs, riveted on the game, delirious with World Cup fever, and only when a goal occurs do cries erupt from every house in every neighborhood. Clearly, this is more than just a game. If you’re intrigued by the World Cup but still a little mystified by soccer culture, here’s what a few local soccer players and fans have to say about it. 1. Soccer is about style. The outcome is not always the most important thing. For results-oriented Americans, this is hard to get used to, but the idea is simple: It’s not just what you do, but how you do it. Matthew Spence, 42, an Englishman enjoying the World Cup at Rí Rá this week with some buddies, echoes the sentiment. “It’s not just about winning; you want to see great football [that is, soccer],”
WINDJAMMER OWNER WALT LEVERING (TOP ROW, SECOND FROM RIGHT) AND FELLOW FANS CHEER ON THE OTHER FOOTBALL.
Spence says. “You want to see a player bamboozle someone, make him look silly.” Dan Shepardson, 52, is a soccer coach with nine high school championships to his credit — four at Northfield and five at Champlain Valley Union. He says of the Brazilians, who call their national

the UVM women’s soccer team. She loved it when “everything clicked,” Fairbanks says, and the players could anticipate what their teammates were going to do. 3. Soccer is about identity. “With soccer, you are born into a team; you don’t choose it,” Levering says,
The game’s ebb and flow, rarely interrupted by a goal, may seem monotonous to many Americans. But to aficionados, it’s full of meaningful gestures and graceful movements. sport “the beautiful game”: “To them it’s not enough to score goals; they’ve got to score beautiful goals. They like to embarrass the defender. They could just knock it in the net, but they’d rather do a 360, flip it up in the air, and do a bicycle kick. It fits their verve.” The game’s ebb and flow, rarely interrupted by a goal, may seem monotonous to many Americans. But to aficionados, it’s full of meaningful gestures and graceful movements. It’s a fluid dance, displaying improvisation, creativity and, yes, style. 2. Soccer is about thinking. Trevor “T.J.” Mead, 24, comes from a Vermont family that’s been into soccer for three generations. After playing for Shepardson at CVU until 2004,
Mead also suggests that France’s Zinédine Zidane, retiring this year, is the best player in the world, even though he doesn’t lead in goals. “A good soccer player should think about what the guy he’s passing to is going to do with the ball. But Zidane thinks so far in advance, he literally thinks four passes ahead,” says Mead. “He’s thinking on a higher plane. He takes a mental picture of the field and then knows how it’s going to develop.” Watching the Poland vs. Ecuador game Friday afternoon at his sports bar, Levering says, “Soccer is beautiful to watch because every player is a quarterback.” Brooke Fairbanks, 25, is also taking in the game. She reiterates the “11 players, one mind” idea while recalling her best times playing for
explaining another way in which soccer is different from American sports. And it’s true: Your soccer team is your town, your city or your country. In Burlington’s Old North End, Omer Alicic is building a community with the soccer club he founded, called FC (Football Club) Burlington. He coaches 40 players from diverse backgrounds — Sudan, Congo, Bosnia, Vietnam — though all are U.S. residents now. Alicic knows how tough it can be to grow up in a new country; he moved here from Bosnia in 1999, when he was 17. He began playing in his town’s soccer club at age 7, and describes it as basically an extended family that ate, slept and traveled together. Now Alicic is passionate about his work with FC Burlington and

After organizing endless rides, lunches and team dinners, he says his reward came one day when his team was jogging past a group of adults on the sidewalk. As FC Burlington ran by, one of the bystanders said, “That’s our team.â€? Ernesto Capello, 31, was seen this week wearing his national team’s jersey and scarf. Now an assistant professor of Latin American history at UVM, he is originally from Quito, Ecuador. Capello explains why that country’s 2-0 victory over Poland is such a big deal. Ecuadorians are proud of their little country’s success — the team’s motto is â€œÂĄSi, se puede!â€? (Yes, it’s possible!) According to Capello, the motto aptly describes Ecuador’s people: optimistic and tenacious. 4. Soccer is for girls, too. The sport is interesting with regard to gender. Thanks to America’s sweethearts, Mia Hamm, Kristine Ally and their teammates, the U.S. has already won the World Cup — twice, in 1991 and 1999 — and a 2004 Olympic gold medal in soccer, too. The Queens, as they’re known, inspired generations of American girls, and also set an example for girls in countries where soccer is strictly for men. In an email interview, Ally writes that she is particularly proud of this. She also points out that women rarely “take a dive,â€? as many of the male players do. That’s the rolland-whine theatrics used to draw a call, even if there’s no penalty. David Eddy, 44, played soccer at UVM and now coaches a girls’ team for the Far Post Soccer Club of Williston. His daughter wants to be the next Mia Hamm. Eddy has fond memories of watching the 1982 World Cup with his father on their farm when he was at UVM. Though he loves the game, Eddy is realistic about soccer in the U.S. becoming a spectator sport equal to, say, baseball. American sports culture is just too different from that of soccer, he surmises. So “the World’s Gameâ€? might never become ours. But maybe soccer can at least teach Americans how the rest of the world thinks. And that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. m

T
his summer, Seth Beck will embark on the mother of all road trips. The 29-year-old Bristol resident and three of his friends have registered for the third annual Mongol Rally.

We have no entourage of support vehicles, there is no carefully marked course, there are no professional drivers, fast cars, or even good
Mongol Rally. Six cars made the trip. In 2005, 43 cars left from London; just 14 made it to Ulan Bator. This year, 200 teams, with names like “Dude Where’s My Camel,” “Drivers of Rohan,” and “Genghis Can!” have registered. Each team is required to pony up a 220 pound entry fee, and kick in an additional 1000 pounds for charity. The race will raise roughly a quarter of a million pounds for groups that fight poverty. Beck and his buddies have formed two teams, “Mrs. Tigglywinks,” and “Lil’ Larry.” Both will compete under the aegis of Beck’s Bad Colonies Motoring Cooperative. The name is a playful jab at the U.K. Most rally participants hail from across the pond; Beck’s teams are two of just five from the U.S. “We’re the colonies that went bad for them and spoiled the whole empire,” Beck explains. It’s the kind of joke a seasoned traveler would make. Beck certainly qualifies. Raised on a sheep farm in Orwell, he loves survival stories, and has always possessed “a strong desire to travel.” While he

Beck’s also still looking for a real car. So far the BCMC has only one, a white Seat Marbella with 53,000 miles on it that’s being housed for them by another team, coincidentally just outside Bristol, England. As for car #2 — “It might come down to we just buy one off eBay right before,” Beck says. He’s also been scrambling to pay the entry fees, which are fairly steep given the exchange rate. BCMC has held two fundraisers so far, at Positive

It’s just you, your pants-mobile and thousands of miles of adventure.” An April press release warned, “Previous entrants have been arrested, chased by bandits, deported, accused of spying and been lost hundreds of miles from civilization.” Sounds like fun to Seth Beck. “There are two types of people in this world,” he observes. “The people who say, ‘Why in the world would you do this?’ and the people who ask, ‘Why haven’t I heard of this yet?’” The lanky engineer, who works as a project manager for Waitsfield’s Northern Power Systems, is proud to belong to the latter category. Even so, he finds it hard to describe why he wants to drive a crappy car over some of the world’s worst roads. “When it comes down to it,” he says, “it’s just something I want to do.” The Rally was spawned in 2001, when two young men from the United Kingdom bought an old Fiat in Prague and decided on a whim to drive it to Mongolia. They were turned back part way for a lack of travel visas, but decided they’d stumbled upon a worthy quest. In 2004, they organized the first
was an engineering student at Clarkson University, Beck spent a year in New Zealand. Upon graduation, he worked for six years repairing gas turbines for General Electric, and traveled extensively in Europe, South America and Southeast Asia. During that time he got in a lot of recreational travel, and went snowboarding in New Zealand and the Alps. It was through an obscure snowboarding website that Beck first heard about the Mongol Rally. He talked it over with his wife, and sent out a few emails to recruit some friends, who were as taken by the idea as he was. Preparing for the rally has proved no small feat, but Beck says that’s part of the fun. Even signing up was tricky. Beck had to wake up in the middle of the night to be online when registration began. The 200 available spots filled up in two hours. Beck began organizing in earnest in November, and now spends a couple hours a day finalizing the logistics. He spends his time updating the whimsical BCMC website, www.badcolonies.org, complete with blog, team bios, and a downloadable fold-up Bad Colonies car.
Pie II, and at the Bobcat Café in Bristol. A third Vermont event is scheduled for June 28 at the Two Brothers Tavern in Middlebury. People who attend can buy space on the cars — Beck will print up vinyl stickers to attach to the ignominious vehicles. And he’s selling t-shirts with the BCMC logo and their motto, “Too lazy to climb Everest.” The money they raise will be donated to Mercy Corps, a Scotland-based organization that funds emergency relief efforts, and Send a Cow, a group that provides livestock to impoverished farmers in Africa. Plotting the route and securing visas has also been a chore. Standing in front of a wall-mounted map in his home office, Beck describes the path his teams will take to Mongolia. The race organizers don’t specify which course teams must take, but they recommend various routes, and provide checkpoints for each. Some are more dangerous than others; for example, Beck will steer his teams clear of Turkmenistan and Iran. They’ve chosen one of the safer paths, through countries such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. “None of
the countries is on the U.S. watchlist,” he notes hopefully. Beck says the BCMC plans to head from London to Prague, and then either to Moscow or Kiev, they haven’t yet decided. Either way, the next stop will be through Kazakhstan to Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Beck has set up a Google map on his website to illustrate the route. If you click on the map pin for Samarkand, a window appears bearing a photo of a mosque and this legend: “Genghis came here for silk and butt kicking. Mrs. Tigglywinks will settle for a beer (or some Windex) and a new clutch.” From Uzbekistan, BCMC will travel through Kyrgyzstan, up through Russia, and into Mongolia. Beck estimates the trip will take about four weeks. That’s the length of his vacation from work. “It’s gotta take that,” he says, “unless I’m imprisoned.” In addition to the entry fees, he’s budgeting about $800 per car for gas. He says it should be readily available for most of the trip, but plans to carry a few cans “for the lean stretches after Uzbekistan.” Beck’s biggest worry right now, besides slower-than-hoped-for fundraising, is how U.S. foreign policy will play out in the months ahead. “It really worries me that we get into some kind of major conflict with Iran during the trip,” he admits. Beck was in Hong Kong in 1999, when the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Up until that point, he says people had been very friendly. “It was amazing how quickly their attitudes changed,” he recalls. Beck is also still trying to figure out how to fly the BCMC home. Once the race is finished, the cars are auctioned off to the Mongolians, bizarre stickers and all. “I just envision some sheep or goat herder driving it around the steppe,” muses Beck, “owning it for 10 years to come.” Like the race itself, it’s just hard for some people to imagine. m

Rock Revival Theater preview: Stone
verybody has a story. The Vermont writers collecting oral histories in Depression-era Barre knew this, and recorded with equal care the lives of the mayor and the peddler, the aristocratic dowager and the stonecutter’s STORY ELISABETH widow, the respected shopkeeper and the rum-running drunk. Kim Bent, CREAN co-artistic director of the Lost Nation Stone, written Theater, breathed new life into these and directed by tales by sculpting them into Stone, an Kim Bent, energetic work for the stage that preproduced by miered last April in Montpelier. Lost Nation The central Vermont community Theater. City Hall Auditorium, enthusiastically embraced the show, Montpelier, which also featured a bounty of toeJune 15 - July 9, tapping, traditional folk music. But Wednesdaysthe critical response pointed out Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays numerous rough edges in the ambiat 6:30 p.m. tious work-in-progress. The running Matinees June 21 time was too long, especially the secand July 9 at ond act, which was dialogue-heavy 2 p.m. $20 ($15 first week of run). and music-light. Some characters’ stories were less compelling than the others’, slowing the narrative drive. On opening night last year, several cast members seemed to struggle with the overwhelming amount of material they had to master. Restaging a play just a year after its debut is an unusual step. But the passion for this production runs deep — among the participants and in the community. The audience was not your typical play-going crowd. “Their reactions to the show fed us,” actor Mark Robert recalls. “There were some nights we had people in the audience that had lived in Barre their whole lives and knew some of these people back in the ’30s . . . People are actually interacting like you’re that person. That’s pretty neat . . . that that kind of magic can come back for folks.” So Bent, who wrote and directed Stone, decided to remake his creation, using feedback from the cast, crew and community to hone the original. Last year’s actors, musicians and behind-the-scenes staff have eagerly reassembled for the new and improved Stone, which opens this weekend. They are working with a tighter, shorter script that gives the period music an even more prominent role. The primary source material for Bent’s adaptation is Men Against Granite, a collection of oral histories assembled between 1938 and 1940. Barre’s booming granite industry had drawn waves of immigrants from Scotland, Northern Italy, Sweden, Spain, Ireland and Québec. Writers Mari Tomasi and Roaldus Richmond, working for the Federal Writers’ Project of the Works Progress Administration, conducted more than 100 interviews with area residents representing all facets of the community. They captured an astonishing record of daily life, documenting events and emotions both great and small. Barre’s long-dead citizens tell their stories in their own words. From what were essentially monologues, Bent crafted dialogues and scenes.

Sixteen actors and musicians play about 40 characters, changing professions, ages and ethnicities as fast as they change costumes and accents. One moving scene features a quartet of widows whose husbands have died prematurely from stonecutter’s TB, a lung disease caused by granite dust. On stage together, the blackclad women reflect and reminisce separately, but their tales weave together thematically. The scene encapsulates Bent’s approach to the source material. He has not artificially superimposed a plot structure, yet by the end it feels like a complete story of how it felt to live in that specific time and place has unfolded. Barre — an industrious, ethnically diverse community — appealed to the Federal Writers’ Project for the hope it provided on the eve of World War II, when “the enemy really was fascism,” Bent reflects. In documenting the diversity of Barre, the writers showed “the possibility that people of different backgrounds could get along, could find a way to work together somehow,” he says. Diversity was not an empty buzzword. It was a potent moral weapon against fascism’s call for racial “purity.” But as Stone demonstrates, ethnic pluralism did not create a utopian melting pot. Characters feel strong ethnic loyalties, stereotype other groups and engage in vigorous disputes over issues from politics to pasta. Coexistence was often peaceful only by default. The first act features a rollicking, irony-laden original song, “In Barre We All Get Along,” that illustrates the city’s underlying tension. In Bent’s lyrics, anarchists and socialists draw verbal and literal weapons, and everyone gives the French-Canadians a hard time. But the battling Barreites are just too busy living and work-
ing alongside one another to expend much energy on a true calculus of hate. “You may have heard it different / But the truth’s as plain as day / In Barre when we disagree / It don’t get in our way!” Stone’s music director, John Mowad, played a major role in the show’s development. He did a mountain of research to assemble period tunes, and to arrange them for an instrumental mix of fiddle, accordion and guitar. “John’s impulse immediately was to go to the real roots of the music,” Bent says. “Not necessarily to the songs of the 1930s or ’40s, but what the music sounded like when these people came over initially.” Music is integrated throughout the play. Three musicians remain on stage during most of the show, and occasionally join in the action. Traditional tunes introduce monologues and accompany dances, and characters sing the wistful folk songs of the Old Country. “The music had a real-ness about it,” says Mowad. “It wasn’t just the pit orchestra . . . doing the score. The musicians felt as much a part of it as anybody else, and I think that came across to the audience.” In revising the show, Mowad and Bent beefed up the role of music. “We realized how important it was . . . in establishing the sense of ethnicity and cultural — not only diversity, but also interaction,” Mowad notes. “Music is hard to beat for setting a national tone, a mood of Irishness or Italian . . . And so we just want to build on that a little bit more.” For example, in the bar scene, live music has replaced a radio playing, which allows for more dancing as well. In trimming the text of the script, Bent felt freer to be less the documentarian and more the dramatist. Some of the scenes that dragged in the first
version of Stone stemmed from his initial desire to be “overly conscientious” with the source material, he admits. “The voices of the younger people in [Men Against Granite] just aren’t as strong, and so they didn’t work quite as well.” Bent deleted those scenes and made lots of internal cuts to tighten others. This summer will see more than just a revival of Stone as a staged play. The Stoners, as they call themselves, are presenting an hour-long excerpted version at the History Expo in Tunbridge on June 24, and at a granite industry conference this August in Barre. Bent appears to be committed to making Stone a lasting part of Vermont’s cultural landscape. He has secured grant funding to create a DVD, in collaboration with filmmaker Jeff Farber of 88 Keys and Living the Autism Maze. The goal is a tight, one-hour production by autumn that can be distributed to schools, libraries and museums across Vermont. “We’ll be shooting the actors in the theater, using the theater as a studio,” Bent explains. Stage scenes will be intercut with historical still images and video of famous sculptures mentioned in the show, such as the Elia Corti memorial and the Robert Burns statue. “Having the ability to see those pieces of art in their real environment while the actor is talking about them, or the actor playing the sculptor who did the work, I think, will be very effective,” he says. “To a large extent, people generally don’t value what’s in their own backyard,” Bent reflects. “I see the stage play and the DVD as an opportunity to get people interested in where they are. One of the things that we all experience as we grow up is, we get to be teenagers and nothing that’s around us has any value. But here’s

BY CASEY REA
BEAN COUNTING As many regular patrons are probably aware, Burlington’s coffee shop/live music venue Radio Bean was recently fined for violation of fire code. A couple of months ago, “Honky Tonk Tuesday” attracted a few too many fans, and proprietor Lee Anderson was given a $200 ticket. He paid it immediately. Following the incident, the Bean imposed a stringent capacity policy. Most folks assumed the brouhaha was over. Not entirely. On June 1, Anderson attended a hearing before the city’s licensing committee. At that point, he was informed of the possibility of further penalties. “The information they gave me said it’s for the potential suspension of my entertainment permit and liquor license,” he recently told me. “But it didn’t say what they were gonna shoot for.” JAMES Either one would have a crippling effect on the BLACKSHAW business, not to mention the local arts community. Local musician and Bean regular Neil Cleary has drafted a petition to present to City Hall, which makes a persuasive case for leniency. “This is the first violation of its kind for the Radio Bean in its 6 years of operation,” the letter states. “The Radio Bean exemplifies a model of responsible alcohol consumption . . . emphasizing arts and community over public drunkenness — unlike countless other bars in Burlington. If it were to go under, a less responsible institution might very well take its place.” You can read the petition in its entirety at my blog, http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate. The letter also makes the point that North Winooski Ave. has had a history of failed businesses and problem tenants. Many credit Anderson for revitalizing what was once considered a struggling block. I placed a call to Assistant City Attorney Gene Bergman to find out where the proceedings are heading. As expected, he’s not at liberty to discuss most aspects of the case. He confirmed that Anderson received notice to appear at the hearing to “present evidence and listen to evidence, with the opportunity to cross examine witnesses.” Bergman also revealed that a final judgment could “possibly” be served on June 26. Guess we’ll just have to stay tuned.
DROPPING THE MIKE It’s a sad day in radioland, as longtime WIZN DJ and assistant program director Mike Luoma has been booted from the booth. I always enjoyed hearing his gruff ’n’ friendly voice when I dialed in. Luoma’s 18 years of service for “The Wizard” puts him among the legends of local broadcasting. Chances are his replacement won’t last half as long. The station recently changed ownership, so workplace shakeups may have been expected. There were also “inconsistencies in programming,” according to Luoma’s dismissal notice. Did he forget to play Styx’ “Come Sail Away” one afternoon? That’s not inconsistency — it’s conscientious objection. But Luoma isn’t railing against his ex-employers. “I made some mistakes . . . I don’t want to make too big a deal of it,” he told me.

A few of ’em will swing by the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Thursday, June 16. The “Crystal Totem Tuur” features the mind-expanding sounds of Brightblack Morning Light, who recently signed to taste-making label Matador Records. I haven’t had their self-titled disc for long, but I’m already smitten. The band’s syrup-thick music comes across like Mazzy Star and Booker T. & the MGs on ’ludes. Sensuous horn lines and washed-out male/female vocals join wah-wah guitars in a heady dose of psych-soul. According to founder Nabob Shineywater, “These songs were written far off into the wilderness, away from the Babylon System.” You mean, like, Hardwick? Also on the bill are Lights, a collective who “offer up songs, tidings and trance from the kindness heart.” Try getting that at your local pharmacy. Songstress Mairee Sioux, a 21-year-old Californian folkie, will open. My favorite neo-psych group, Espers, had been scheduled to appear but cancelled for undisclosed reasons. I’ll just spin their trippy, acoustic cover of Blue Öyster Cult’s “Flaming Telepaths” to dull the pain. WILL PATTON
“I’m just trying to figure out what the ‘Mike Luoma Part II’ will be.” Hopefully, it’ll involve more publishing. Luoma already has two books on local shelves, including the science-fiction thriller Vatican Assassin, and the self-described “graphic thingy,” Holy Shit: Or...Pat Robertson Is the Anti-Christ. The latter is a nonfiction account of Christianity’s origins and, according to its author, “how Pat Robertson doesn’t seem to be following what Jesus taught.” Glad someone noticed. A sequel to Vatican is planned for release later this year, with the final book in the trilogy available next summer. In the meantime, Luoma has a message for loyal listeners: “Thank you for hanging out, letting me play you some music, and listening to me talk all this time,” he says. For more information on his printed wares, check out http://www.GlowIntheDarkRadio.com.
ACOUSTIC EXPEDITIONS On Monday, June 19, experimental electronic musician Greg Davis brings a handful of pals to town for a performance at BOX, a Pine St. artist collective. In addition to Davis, the 8 p.m., all-ages show features London’s James Blackshaw, the Big Apple’s Jesse Sparhawk and Boston’s Glenn Jones. Don’t expect much laptop action — Davis’ associates are all acoustic guitarists in the tradition of the late John Fahey and Robbie Basho. Blackshaw’s dreamlike instrumentals are written and performed on 12-string guitar. One such piece, “Spiraling Skeleton Memorial,” is sublimely meditative, with fingerpicked notes that flow like a winding brook. Occasionally, he augments his songs with tambura, harmonium and percussion. Spare or embellished, his music is spellbinding. Multi-instrumentalist Sparhawk is comfortable with all manner of strings ’n’ things, including harp. He’s played with a variety of today’s most lauded indie-acoustic acts, including Greg Weeks, Marissa Nadler and Timesbold. His latest disc, Palmaria Palmata, is firmly rooted in the tradition of Fahey’s Tahoma Records label. Which is to say, the playing is folk-inspired, but progressive. Jones’ work is somewhat darker, with minor-key chord clusters and ominous pedal tones. A classical influence is also present, especially on “The Doll Hospital,” which plays like Andrés Segovia kickin’ back in Appalachia. Jones is pretty handy with a slide, too. It’s anyone’s guess what Davis has up his sleeve. But if it’s anything like his recent performance opening up for The Books at Higher Ground, it’ll be downright transcendental.
WORD PUNK Back in the early ’80s, a little band out of San Francisco called the Dead Kennedys antagonized both the Reagan administration and the music industry with acerbic, surf-punk ditties. Retribution from “the man” came hard, and the band eventually broke up in a maelstrom of lawsuits, some against each other. DK’s provocative ex-front man Jello Biafra is still ruffling feathers, albeit without the loud guitars. He’ll bring his JELLO unabashedly left-wing, spokenBIAFRA word routine to the Higher Ground Ballroom on Wednesday, June 21. Biafra holds a plethora of political positions that would probably make liberal-loathing scribe Ann Coulter’s head explode. He’s a staunch advocate of the “maximum wage,” which includes the elimination of taxes for the poor, while increasing tariffs on anyone who earns more than $100,000 a year. Civil disobedience is right up there on Biafra’s list of worthy activities. Such acts include — but aren’t limited to — planting marijuana seeds in public parks. He hates the death penalty and the World Trade Organization, and is a tireless campaigner for freedom of speech in the arts, having been at the sharp end of Tipper Gore’s anti-obscenity stick.

16 HAIR TODAY :: MontrÊal songwriter Sam Roberts splits the difference between scruffy, ragtag rock and sweetheart pop. A major star in Canada, he has yet to win over American hipsters. That might change with the release of his latest disc, Chemical City. The album plays like a love letter to the kings of ’70s rock, with epic jams running alongside artful melodies. Catch him at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday. The Damnwells and Slow Runner get things started.

reviewthis JOHNNY AZER, AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT
RYAN FAUBER, GREATEST HITS (Self-released, CD) Burlington singer-songwriter Ryan Fauber is a highly prolific individual. The 10 tunes on Greatest Hits are culled from more than 200 songs written between 1999 and 2005. Many are lengthy, quasi-poetic diatribes about the woeful state of the world. Others are ballads that achieve an intimate soulfulness despite their ragged edges. The result is a mixed bag of music. The disc commences with the rambling “Who We Are.� Fauber views himself as a kind of prose prophet, but his lyrics are often vague. “Political correctness in a self-destructing state / Mesmerized by lies that subliminally hate,� he raps-sings over a clunky chord progression. It’s a little like a poetry slam for paranoids. Still, he gets in a couple of mid-tune zingers: “We position ourselves, high, justified and fair / A Christian nation’s bombs exploding in the air,� he states. Testify, man. “Dreams on a Train� is more effective, both lyrically and musically. Subtle guitar strums and spare keyboards frame Fauber’s aching vocal performance. “Your bedroom is now a holding cell / Your eyes no longer burn / Your good intentions turn on you / Are you ever gonna learn?� he wails. Vocally, he bears similarities to Tom Waits, in his pre-carnival barker phase. One could have worse influences. “When the government comes I’m gonna run / When the ending is near and the feeling is fear, I’m gonna run,� Fauber howls on the appropriately titled “I’m Gonna Run.� Loaded with striking, apocalyptic wordplay, the song fails to cohere musically. “Lady Burns� suffers from a similar fate. Unfocused and aimless, its structure barely holds together. Only a few choice lyrics save the song from total disaster: “When I’m on fire, my veins are wires / Reacting to that lady liar,� Fauber snarls. “Prisoner Song� is a minor-key ballad with Dylanesque ambitions. Spare acoustic guitar provides skeletal accompaniment to Fauber’s grim tale of possessive love. “I’m the king of the trash, I’ve got a beautiful rash / My thoughts are naked and raw,� he sings icily. “The razor was heaven to me / I said, ‘give me some eternity’ / She said, ‘It’s close, but not the time.’� The harrowing prose and effective instrumentation make for the disc’s finest moment. Greatest Hits is a challenging listen. Yet somewhere between the proselytizing rants and unwieldy poetics, there exists considerable creativity. Here’s hoping Fauber learns to hone it.
CASEY REA
(Self-released, CD) In a just world, Burlington rocker Johnny Azer would be a cult superstar. A productive songwriter whose tunes evoke both the grandiosity of U2 and the pathos of Daniel Johnston, Azer is one of a kind. A few years ago, he had a taste of the big time when talk show jokester Jimmy Kimmel invited him to perform on his late-night program. Azer rocked. Later, during the interview segment, he completely eclipsed the other guests, including ultra-hip comedian Dane Cook. Unfortunately, the TV appearance did little to increase his profile back home. His latest disc, And Everything Like That, is an attempt to remedy the situation. To dismiss Azer as an “outsider� artist is to miss out on an endearing musical personality. Yes, his tunes are a little strange, but they’ve got more raw sentiment than most so-called “emo� acts. His anguish is the result of professional, personal and romantic frustration. It isn’t easy being Johnny Azer, but he channels his turmoil into affecting, if unconventional, pop-rock. And Everything opens with “Picture on the Wall,� a sweeping, majestic ballad about unrequited love. Luxurious keyboards and guitars support Azer’s yearning voice. “You made it worth getting out of bed / So true, you never messed with my head,� he sings. “I deeply miss your laugh, and deeply miss your smile / Your heart is free of all things vile.� You can’t doubt a guy who sounds this sincere. “Jimmy Kimmel� chronicles the highs and lows of semi-fame. A burst of applause kicks things off, followed by a brief spoken passage. “I’d like to thank Jimmy Kimmel for the finest moment in my life,� Azer exclaims. “Two years have gone by, and what the hell happened?� The song is run-of-the mill guitar rock, but its lyrics are rife with heartache: “Girls look at me like I’m on death row / ’Cause I got no cash, looks, car or blow,� he wails. “Life’s not Jimmy Kimmel — it’s the only time I was truly happy.� Pretty tragic stuff. My favorite cut is “Mind Control,� which portrays Azer as a wasted warrior on a psychic battlefield. “I’m so tired fighting your mind control / Still you’ll never own my soul / I’m starting to feel God’s chills / You robbed me of my free will,� he intones. In a scene full of preening hipsters, Azer is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good fight, Johnny.

CALL TO ARTISTS
People’s Painter
S EXHIBIT Al Salzman: Paintings and Drawings. Fletcher & Pickering rooms, Fletcher Free Library, Burlington. Through June.
ARTWORK “Subway to Vermont Triptych” by Al Salzman
PHOTO Marc Awodey
trangely shaped artworks greet visitors to the Fletcher and Pickering rooms in Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library this month. The 18 oval figurative paintings, 55-by-31 inches, and 13 round, 44-inch-in-diameter drawings were executed over a 10-year period by the multifaceted Fairfield artist Al Salzman. What may not be immediately obvious is that his picture planes are classically inspired, both in composition and content. In Greek mythology, the master builder Daedalus constructed wings for himself and his son Icarus to escape their imprisonment on the isle of Crete. Salzman’s “Falling” refers to that story, as two winged male figures seem to tumble through a cerulean blue sky and white clouds. The nearly Baroque composition presents a contorted Icarus with a damaged wing slicing into a sapphire-hued sea. Yet above the clouds, a peaceful bird appears at the top of the oval, in contrast to this human calamity. In a telephone interview, Salzman mentioned that viewers often think of the bird in “Falling” as a dove symbolizing the spirit of God. Not so. He was actually thinking of “The Lark Ascending” by British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Such personal, rather than predictable, associations are a hallmark of Salzman’s paintings. “Subway to Vermont Triptych” is a dreamlike narrative populated by a bizarre assortment of musicians, commuters, cops, and bearded orthodox Jews. Each of the three panels has beautifully controlled light, effectively describing flickering subway shadows.
The content crystallizes as Salzman transforms the New York City subway into a vision of Holocaust freight cars hauling workers through an underground bedlam. In 1992, Salzman was a Progressive Party candidate from Franklin County for the Vermont Senate; his social concerns find their way into many of the show’s images and poems. To the right of “Subway to Vermont Triptych,” an excerpt of his posted poem “Tiger Moran” reads, “Eat your oats and work for bosses / work and
water-based tempera can be very brittle, so Salzman paints on panels that are less absorbent and also make cracking less likely. But if his medium is unusual in fine art — perhaps even unsound — it does create unique surfaces and vibrant, rich colors. Salzman’s round drawings, which he refers to by the Renaissance term of tondos, are technically more pedestrian — just charcoal on cardboard. Each is entitled a “Humandala” and presents an array of figures organized into gravity-free circles and drifting around in
Salzman’s picture planes are classically inspired, both in composition and content. sweat like fuckin’ horses / sleep — wake up — eat oats again / Drink your coffee, hide your pain. . . .” Salzman’s paintings often have a social-realist air — his negative spaces of dark blue and gray are reminiscent of Socialist Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco. Salzman’s painting technique is also influenced by his 25 years as an art teacher in St. Albans and in New York City-area public schools. He mixes from only eight colors of cheap tempera paint, typical of what’s used in classrooms. But he isn’t naïve about materials, and separates tempera applications with clear layers of acrylic matte medium. Like egg tempera,
well-composed spaces. Babies, musicians, boxers and bathers populate these “Humandalas.” Each represents a cross-section of contemporary society. Salzman’s oval compositions often employ the Renaissance device of four-point perspective, and his round charcoal drawings seem to have as many as six vanishing points in certain passages. He acknowledges being schooled in those rarified concepts, but discounts their validity in his works. Salzman is more intuitive than intellectual in designing his paintings and drawings. His artistic perspective, as evidenced by this courageously eccentric show, is utterly unique. m

LOVE/HAITIAN RELATIONSHIP Nadine Lafond’s show “Transcripts from the Specter,â€? currently at Burlington’s Penny Cluse CafĂŠ, has Haitian roots without being influenced by Haitian folk-art clichĂŠs. The island’s bright hues, graffiti and mystic spirituality inform Lafond’s art, but the work seems ultimately to be about the artist’s inner life rather than her ancestry.

PRECIOUS VIEWS Twenty oils and a dozen watercolors comprise Sarah Wesson’s exhibition, entitled “On Site,” at Grannis Gallery through June. A retailer of designer jewelry, including this month’s featured jeweler Jacob Albee, the shop is elegant but not particularly spacious. So Wesson’s oil “Acadia I” (pictured), measuring a scant 11-by-16 inches, is one of the largest pieces in the show. Small, gemlike landscapes, her works perfectly complement Grannis Gallery’s fine jewelry.

theborowitzreport ANN COULTER CHALLENGES PRESIDENT OF IRAN TO INSANE COMMENT CONTEST
C
onservative pundit Ann Coulter today challenged Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to what she called “an insane comment contest” on live TV to determine who is the insane comment champion of the world. Appearing on Fox News this morning, the sharp-tongued darling of the right wing said that while she respects Mr. Ahmadinejad’s work, she believes he will be “no match” for her arsenal of crazy, unhinged remarks. “I’ve heard Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s nutty rants in the past, and while I think he comes off like a total bananahead, in a one-on-one with me he will be the picture of sanity,” Ms. Coulter said. In Iran, President Ahmadinejad accepted Ms. Coulter’s challenge and said that while he was “confident
of victory,” he recognized that besting her in an insane comment contest “would not be easy.” “In any competition involving verbal lunacy, Ann Coulter is the favorite going in,” said Mr. Ahmadinejad. “I
competition and demanded to be invited. Within hours, Ms. Coulter apologized for omitting President Kim and the Rev. Robertson but said that the omission would be corrected: “Me, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
The world has been rid of a tricky-to-pronounce name. President Bush
will need to train for this for months.” But even as the rules for the insane comment contest were being set, North Korean president Kim Jong Il and televangelist Pat Robertson expressed outrage that they had been excluded from the
Pat Robertson and Kim Jong Il: That’s the Final Four.” Elsewhere, President Bush hailed the elimination of terror mastermind Abu Musab alZarqawi, telling reporters, “The world has been rid of a trickyto-pronounce name.” m

BY RICK KISONAK
PREVIEWS
A Prairie Home Companion HHHH
A COMPANION PIECE Altman uses the venerable radio show as inspiration for the most genial, joyful movie of his career.
s meditations on mortality go, Robert Altman’s new movie is a pretty lively, warm-blooded affair. The 81-year-old director here teams up with fellow Midwesterner Garrison Keillor to produce a motion picture that’s not merely unique in his body of work but unique, period. What an inspired notion to bring Keillor’s venerable radio show to the big screen and use it as a jumping-off point for the ruminations and reflections of both artists. Fans of the 32-year-old broadcast in particular will be grateful for and enchanted by this cinematic backstage pass. The premise of Keillor’s script is that a Texas conglomerate has purchased the station on which the program airs as well as the famed Fitzgerald Theatre from which it emanates each Saturday evening in St. Paul, Minnesota. The new owners view the “Home Companion” as a dispensable anachronism and, after one final performance, the show will go on no longer. It is this farewell broadcast that Altman brings us, though neither its stoic host nor any of his guests actually bids their faithful audience farewell. This is a movie about endings and beginnings — the former by far outnumbering the latter — and about the different ways in which different types of people deal with them. As showtime approaches, we listen in as the Johnson sisters, Rhonda (Lily Tomlin) and Yolanda (Meryl Streep) recount the history of the family’s singing career to Yolanda’s daughter Lola (Lindsay Lohan). The occasion has them in a sentimental frame of mind, and they share recollections of their mother, ex-husbands and sisters who once were also part of the act. “The Carter Family was just like us, only famous,” observes Streep’s character before explaining how the group was denied music-industry immortality by a glazed donut. The scene acclimates the audience to the film’s tone, which is wistful, whimsical, sometimes fatalistic and always unhurried. Keillor is the embodiment of unhurriedness. We first find him backstage just moments before the show is to hit the airwaves telling long, rambling stories to staff and fellow performers when he should be pulling up his pants. This is as close to a race against the clock, or any other standard Hollywood device, that Altman will employ in the course of the film’s 105 minutes. Will Keillor make it to the mike on time? Of course. And as the Fitzgerald’s curtain rises, he snaps to, takes charge and becomes the master of ceremonies known and loved by millions.
It’s hard to say which is more entertaining — the show itself or the events that unfold behind the scenes. On stage, Keillor, the show’s real-life band, and sound-effects man Tom Keith mix it up with musically gifted movie actors and actresses. Streep and Tomlin (who played a singer in the director’s 1975 milestone Nashville) totally kick out the country jams. Who would have guessed Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly would make a dynamic cowboy duo? Altman rolls the dice, giving a number of Keillor’s most beloved fictional characters familiar Hollywood faces. The gamble pays off. Harrelson and Reilly play cowpoke pals Dusty and Lefty, reimagined as singers of good-natured songs filled with hysterically bad puns. Kevin Kline plays Guy Noir, the haplessly hardboiled gumshoe who’s been “trying to find the answers to life’s persistent questions” for decades now, while managing to remain as sublimely clueless as ever. Down on his luck, he’s stooped to handling security for the theater. As the final show plays out, the most persistent question on his mind concerns the identity of a beautiful woman in a white trenchcoat (Virginia Madsen). Visible to Noir and a few others but unseen by everyone else, she turns out to be an angel of death, a revelation that only puts a slight damper on his pick-up patter. There’s much talk of death in this movie. A character departs from this world after singing one last song. “The death of an old man is not a tragedy,” Madsen declares. She reveals that she, in fact, died when she lost control of her car while laughing at a joke Keillor told on a broadcast one Saturday evening. When members of his crew implore the host to say a few words to the audience about the unexpected loss, he declines, “I’m of an age,” he explains, “when, if I started to do eulogies, I’d be doing nothing else.” “Don’t you want to be remembered?” Lohan asks. “I don’t want them to be told to remember me,” he replies. Despite all the talk of the grave (or perhaps because of it), the film is uplifting, funny and touching in ways that few movies manage to be. As Altman announced at the Oscars, he’s literally had a change of heart; it’s surely no coincidence that this is the most genial, joyful work of his long career. You owe it to yourself to tune in. If you thought “A Prairie Home Companion” was a pleasure to listen to, wait ’til you see how much fun it is to watch. m

THE GREAT WARMING
flick chick
BY SUSAN GREEN
SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Waiting to Exhale? deal, Ben & Jerry’s plans to hand out free Fossil Fuel ice cream at the event. Warming is the brainchild of cowriter/director Michael Taylor and producer Karen Coshof, a married couple from Montréal with a getaway home in Morrisville, Vermont. With a $3 million budget, the 120-minute film started out as a three-hour broadcast on Canada’s Discovery Channel in 2004, followed by a much shorter PBS special last November. “It was reaching the intelligentsia that already knows about this issue,” says Coshof, 58. “Our objective was to use this medium to change things. We felt a theatrical release could speak to regular people.” The filmmakers also decided to add content that may appeal to just plain folks living across the Québec border. “What matters in America are money, power and celebrity,” Coshof contends. “That’s a fact.” So it won’t hurt that the Matrix guy and “Jagged Little Pill” gal — both Canadians — provide informative voiceovers to accompany the doc’s spectacular visuals. From Cajun fishing guides on the pre-Katrina Gulf Coast to an Inner Mongolia family of nomadic goat herders watching solarpowered TV in their yurt, this is a nonfiction narrative with the sweeping imagery of an epic feature. Cinematographer Michael Ellis, shooting in eight countries on four continents, found a way to gorgeously illustrate what might otherwise be
soporific facts and figures. But statistics are not really sleep inducing when they portend widespread catastrophe. The 21st century’s atmosphere contains at least 30 percent more carbon dioxide than had been anticipated, ushering in higher temperatures, crop failures, wildlife abnormalities, weather disasters, flooded lowlands and vulnerability to disease. Most of the impressive talking heads on camera are climatologists, physicists and biologists. But Taylor and Coshof manage to corral a few Christian leaders who believe in the stewardship concept of Creation Care. “To harm this world by environmental degradation is an offense against God,” warns Reverend Richard Cizik, a National Association of Evangelicals official. New Hampshire pastor Matthew Sleeth, a former St. Johnsbury physician, asks rhetorically: “What do I owe the future?” The future is Bourbon Street tarotcard reader John Williamson’s trade. In a 2002 interview, he turns out to be as knowledgeable about wetlands as he is certain of what a big hurricane could do to the Big Easy. His predic-
tion: “Au revoir, New Orleans.” Enough of the scary stuff. The Great Warming offers optimism by examining how human ingenuity might save us from ourselves. “It doesn’t have to be just doom-andgloom,” Coshof suggests. “We need a message of hope.” Hope appears in the person of Klaus Lackner, among other innovators. The Columbia University geophysics professor is constructing the prototype of an immense collector for devouring CO2 much the way plants do during photosynthesis. The invention, which he calls a “synthetic tree,” theoretically can filter out 90,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year, roughly equivalent to the emissions from 15,000 cars. To gobble up all 22 billion tons of CO2 now plaguing us would require 250,000 such devices. A bit of an eyesore, perhaps? Yes, but Lackner says a single remote, unpopulated location will suffice, because these mechanisms are designed to essentially catch and cure the ill wind as it moves across the planet’s sky. The air, the air is everywhere. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
He may be UNBEATABLE at Scrabble, but he has no life. Some of us snobs wince when they say “criteria” for CRITERION. Can you be INVOLVED with another and still love your spouse? Let’s PRETEND we live on a planet where TV is against the law. Since email arrived, my stationery has remained STATIONARY. The PLOWBOYS went back to the farm when they saw Paris, Texas. A QUANDARY buried in a quagmire is a nest of question marks. Despite good intentions, some of us floss rather IRREGULARLY. If I had to check a box, I guess I would decide on UNDECIDED. Wallace and Gromit have given someone a very thick WALLET. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: 3. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: You have to be spellbound.
T
he lyrics of a sardonic song from Hair, a 1967 musical that opened OffBroadway three years before the first Earth Day, are poignantly prescient: “Welcome, sulphur dioxide. Hello, carbon monoxide. The air, the air is everywhere.” Four decades later carbon dioxide, a.k.a. CO2, sure seems to be everywhere. The greenhouse gas has been contributing to cataclysmic climate change, which is the subject of two new documentaries. Both are premiering in Chittenden County this Friday, with educational outreach from various socially responsible organizations and businesses. An Inconvenient Truth, with Al Gore, opens at Burlington’s Roxy. (Due to a miscommunication with the theater, a previous column incorrectly indicated a June 9 debut.) Several advance screenings have been arranged for employees of eco-friendly companies, such as Gardener’s Supply, Green Mountain Coffee and City Market. Narrated by actor Keanu Reeves and singer Alanis Morissette, The Great Warming unspools at the Palace 9 in South Burlington. A panel discussion after Friday’s 6:30 p.m. show will include local attorney Ronald Shems, who represents Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth in a lawsuit against U.S. government agencies that funded oil-industry projects without evaluating their impact on global warming.

STEAK GRILLING TIPS • Make sure the grill is hot, really hot. This will sear the outside of the meat and keep the juices in.
GRILLED STEAK WITH WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE 2 medium-sized New York strip steaks or Delmonico steaks 1 shallot, minced • 2 Tbs. butter • 1/4 cup red wine 1/2 lb. assorted wild mushrooms (morel, shitake, oyster...whatever is available) 1 Tbs. flour • 1 cup hot beef stock • Salt and pepper to taste
•Simply seasoning with generous amounts of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper are key elements for delicious and flavorful steak. •Let your steak reach room temperature before grilling for more even and faster cooking. •Oil the grill. An easy way to do this is to slice a large onion in half, stick it on a grilling fork, dip the cut side in oil and rub on the grill. This also adds a bit of flavor. •Don’t use a fork to turn the steaks, use tongs or a spatula to prevent juices from leaking out. •Let the steaks rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. This will let the juices flow out from the center so the whole steak is nice and juicy.
Prepare steaks: Preheat your grill until it’s really hot. Season the steaks generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. The meat should be cooked approximately 3-4 minutes per side depending how you like your steaks. When done, slice the steaks into 1/4 inch strips, fan out on a warm plate and add your wild mushroom sauce. Prepare wild mushroom sauce: Melt butter in a sauce pan and sauté shallots until transparent, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add red wine, preferably something you may be sipping while you are preparing this meal. Add mushrooms and cook until tender and wine has reduced to an essence. Sprinkle in flour then add stock slowly while stirring. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, approximately 8-10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste and serve over the steaks. Makes 4 servings.

THU.15 - SUN.18
A STAR IS REBORN Even before the addition of sound, movies spoke volumes. Mary Pickford, the turn-of-thecentury actress known as “America’s Sweetheart,” starred in 236 films, most of them silent. She made her first “moving picture” at age 16, in 1908, and quickly became the world’s first film celebrity. But fame came with a high price: At age 33, due to fans’ demands, Pickford was still playing child roles, wearing her hair in long, blond curls. In Living Shadows, writer and performer Tracey Power goes behind the scenes of Mary Pickford’s life. The solo show is just one of 97 weird, wacky and wonderful theatrical and musical productions making up this year’s Montréal Fringe Festival.
‘LIVING SHADOWS: A STORY OF MARY PICKFORD’ Thursday through Sunday, June 15-18, Association Portuguaise du Canada, 4170 Rue St. Urbain, Montréal, see calendar for times. $9. Info, 514-849-3378. http://www.powergirl.ca

scene@�MAYOR’S CUP IDOL� QUALIFYING ROUND GROUND ROUND RESTAURANT, SOUTH BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1 P.M. I grabbed the last available stool at the Ground Round bar in South Burlington just in time to catch the last awkward strains of “A Narnia Lullaby,� being played on an electric piano. This was the qualifying round for next month’s “Mayor’s Cup Idol� in Plattsburgh, a knock-off of Fox’s “American Idol.� I winced as the girl at the piano plinked out several wrong notes. Fortuitously, the rain and traffic had delayed my arrival for the “16 and under� category, which was just coming to a close. After the last young musician finished, the three judges offered her some kind but constructive criticism — far more than she would have gotten from that pompous British twit, Simon Cowell. As the judges prepared for the “16-to-54-year-old� category, I scanned the room. Every booth was occupied by contestants’ families and friends, there to cheer on the winners, console the also-rans and slurp down vanilla shakes. There was no stage per se, just a simple fabric backdrop, a video camera and a bright stage lamp, presumably to ensure that the contestants sweat enough. The Weather Channel and horse racing played silently on TV sets around the bar. My initial fears of “Gong Show�-like talent quickly evaporated. I was pleasantly surprised when the first contestant, 16-year-old Hallie Carpenter of Shelburne, stepped to the mike and belted out an a cappella excerpt from Etta James’ “At Last.� This tiny blonde had some pipes! Twentysomething Madison Lindstam also “showed great stage presence,� as one judge remarked, singing a bluesy snippet from The Eagles’ “Desperado.� Melissa Monro of Georgia delivered a heartfelt, though slightly off-pitch, “You Light Up My Life,� which she dedicated to her father, who died in February. After the winners were announced at 2:30, I followed Michelle Mortensen, WPTZ news anchor and one of the judges, out of the bar. As she passed a booth, a teenaged girl stopped her and asked, with all the sincerity she could muster, “Miss, do you think I could make it with my voice?� How dreams are born. 2x6-benjerry061406 6/12/06 5:08 PM Page 1 KEN PICARD

DROOL SCHOOL
It’s no secret that kids of a certain age are fascinated by subjects that yield a high yuck factor. Boogers and barf serve an educational purpose in “Grossology,” the ECHO Center’s summer-long exhibition focusing on the weird things bodies do to keep people healthy. Hands-on exhibits include a skin-climbing wall and a sniffable tribute to b.o., and emphasize particular body-function facts. One gag-inducing tidbit: The average person swallows 2 pounds of saliva every day. Wednesday visitors can put some of that goo to good use in an all-ages spitball contest. Loogie lugers hear about spittoons and saliva’s role in digestion, then grab a bottle of water, paper and straws. Points will be awarded for distance, accuracy and perhaps, er, stickiness. Eww.

SCREEN TEST
Actors who work with Robert David Hall might think twice before telling him to “break a leg.” The entertainer lost his lower limbs in a car accident in 1978. But that hasn’t hampered his career, which includes both film and TV credits from Starship Troopers and Class Action to “The West Wing.” Today Hall walks comfortably on two prosthetic legs. He currently stars as Dr. Albert Robbins, the quirky, twinkle-eyed coroner of TV’s police-forensics drama “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.” Hall keynotes a state-sponsored summit on the employment of Vermonters with disabilities, at a luncheon gathering Governor Douglas, U.S. Senator James Jeffords, state legislators, students, parents and business leaders.

BELL EPOQUE
Handbells are usually associated with holiday concerts, but there’s no reverbatory rule connecting clappers to carols. Combo aficionados can absorb summertime chimes at a concert this week by a community handbell ensemble based in western Massachusetts, with additional members from Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island. For the performers, it’s all about timing — picking up the right thing to ring at the right moment. Audience members may feel that way, too — this is the group’s only Vermont show this season. The merry troupe of tintinnabulators keep their clappers moving for arrangements of Aram Khachaturian’s “Sabre Dance,” Georges Bizet’s “Farandole,” and original compositions. Feeling patriotic? The handbell version of “Stars and Stripes Forever” has a certain ring to it.

L RE A
JUNE 15-21
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You will have CANCER (June 21-July 22): During a valid reasons for unleashing vigorous critiques in the coming week. For best results, however, I suggest that you dress them up in fine language. Your complaints will be more likely to have a cathartic effect if you make them witty and even a bit florid. To get in the right mood, spend some time with the Random Shakespeare Insult Generator at http://snipurl.com/q1kk. Here are a few, all lifted from the work of The Bard. (1) “Thou jarring motley-minded pignut!” (2) “Thou cockered beef-witted measle!” (3) “Thou unmuzzled dismal-dreaming scut!”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Before you can do something you must first be something,” wrote Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. That’s advice we can all profit from. Most of us have been guilty of trying to skip steps in reaching our goals, hoping to pull off feats we have not yet developed sufficient strength of character to master. For example, there’s no way I could have been a good writer at age 19, since I had so little life experience to draw on, hadn’t learned how to cultivate my perceptiveness, and didn’t have the discipline to sit down and write every day. In the coming week, Taurus, think about whether there’s a dream you cherish but have not yet earned the right to achieve. Then decide what you’ll have to do to become more worthy.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Every year the National Grocers Association stages its own version of the Oscars. Among the honors it bestows is an award for Best Bagger. It goes to the person who displays the most élan while efficiently and speedily filling grocery bags with buyers’ purchases. The social status accorded the winner may pale in comparison to, say, Hollywood’s best film actress or baseball’s most valuable player, but personally I’m just as impressed with it. In fact, I think everyone in the world should be the recipient of a prize that commemorates the one thing they do better than anyone else. It happens to be an excellent time for you to go after the unique trophy you deserve, Gemini. If no organization gives it to you, make it or buy it yourself.
solar eclipse, members of some indigenous tribes in South America used to shoot burning arrows toward the heavens in the belief that they would scare away the demon that was devouring the sun. I recommend that you try this, if only in your imagination. No, there won’t be an actual eclipse happening in the literal sky in the coming week. But something like that has been going on in your psyche. It’s time to fight back with burning arrows.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): According to conventional measures of success, filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan is a successful man. His movie The Sixth Sense is one of the top 25 moneymakers in history, and three of his other films have grossed more than $200 million apiece worldwide. And yet he places a supreme value on reverie. “My life is about finding time to dream,” he has said. I urge you to make that your motto, Leo. The progress of your most practical ambitions later in 2006 will depend on whether or not you spend the next few weeks tapping into information that’s available through fantasies, meditations, dreams and other altered states.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions,” wrote pioneer psychologist Alfred Adler. If you have inflicted that danger on yourself too often in the past, Virgo, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to make amends. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, a series of really smart risks is lining up to greet you. May you approach them with just the right blend of daring and discernment.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ancient Greeks called apricot juice the nectar of the gods. For centuries, Europeans regarded apricots as aphrodisiacs and symbols of fertility. According to old English folk tales, to dream of apricots portends good fortune. In the 21st century, however, demand for the fruit is waning. Since 1994, production has diminished by almost 50 percent in California, which grows most of America’s

Is there one of your skills or products whose situation resembles the apricot’s, Libra? Some fine offering you were born to provide but that the culture seems to be losing its need for? If so, meditate on whether it’s time to revise your relationship with it — perhaps by reinventing or repackaging it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most modern religions propose that we need intermediaries--priests, priestesses, rabbis, imams, monks—to get connected to the divine source. In contrast, many ancient Gnostics believed that every person could be in charge of creating his or her own link to spirit. Indeed, anyone might contribute fresh insights and revelations to the body of ever-evolving spiritual truths. The equivalent today would be if the Bible were regarded as an unfinished text to which every Christian or Jew could add new content. This is a perfect astrological moment for you to try out this perspective, Scorpio: the do-it-yourself approach to creating your own religion. You now have the power to be your own priest, priestess, rabbi, imam, or monk.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “If you give a person feedback you focus them for a day,” says entrepreneur George Reavis. “If you teach them how to ask for feedback you focus them for a lifetime.” I mention this, Sagittarius, because the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to act on his advice. You have the potential to become skilled at consistently getting the exact feedback you need — the kind of constructive, respectful critique that serves as an inspiring kick in the butt.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In his biography Tallulah!: The Life and Times of a Leading Lady, Joel Lobenthal describes actress Tallulah Bankhead (1902-1968) as a reckless hedonist given to exhibitionism and affairs with hundreds of lovers. He also hints that there was a karmic payback for her excesses. It came in the form of a lengthy hysterectomy that was a lastditch attempt to save her from the ravages of an
advanced case of gonorrhea, reducing her frame to a mere seventy pounds. Bankhead didn’t see it as karmic payback, however. Afterwards she told her doctor, “Don’t think this has taught me a lesson!” Your own imminent comeuppance won’t be even a tiny fraction of what Bankhead’s was, Capricorn. But I hope that after it has been offered, you will thankfully say, “This has taught me a valuable lesson!”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The group Reporters Without Borders evaluates how well the world’s nations respect freedom of the press. Finland, Iceland, and the Netherlands are the top three, while North Korea, Cuba and Burma are at the bottom. Canada is ranked tenth. The U.S. is 137th (of a total 167) in terms of the press freedom that it fosters outside of its own borders, although it’s 44th in its own territory. In this spirit and in response to current astrological omens, I inventoried the freedom of expression you have carved out for yourself, Aquarius. I also appraised your skill at creating an environment in which other people feel free to express themselves to you. You’re doing great in the first category — number one in the zodiac! — but you could use some work in the second. Now is a perfect time to work harder to extend to others the spaciousness you enjoy.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, pleasures that appeal to the adult in you may not rouse anywhere near the excitement they usually do in the coming weeks. The best use of your time might be to leap into your second childhood. You’d probably be wise to do things like making mud pies, rolling sideways down a grassy hill, getting your face painted, feeding a farm animal, going on a scavenger hunt, climbing trees, and creating a papier-mâché monster mask.

I am an 11-year-old, short haired, orange and white, neutered male tiger cat. I am handsome and loveable. I have a fun quirk – I absolutely love climbing up on my human friends’ shoulders. I am playful, very affectionate, social, attentive, and gentle. Don’t let my advanced age fool you. I would make an awesome addition to any home – with kids of any age, with dogs, and with cats too! Oh yeah, I have the best purr around. I am looking for a loving home with a family who will love me and all of my funny, loving ways. Don’t forget, in addition to me, there are Sir Thomas, Muffin, Acorn, Greta, Dylan, and a lot of other great cats of all shapes, ages, sizes, and personalities waiting at HSCC for you to welcome them into your home. Please come on down and visit me and all of my feline friends! We’re ready to give you some feline love.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, Your comments in last week’s column about moving on were too simplistic. It is not uncommon for many ex-couples to form a lasting friendship after their romantic involvement ends. This is not necessarily unhealthy, nor should it by itself be a threat to their new partner. And when children are involved, it is often desirable. People who make a strong emotional investment in a relationship tend to maintain friendly contact with their ex-partners. They often make very good partners because they are able to form deep relationships. And sometimes completely “grieving” a relationship can take a long time. On the other hand, people who are able to “move on” very easily are often unable to form emotional attachments. Why did the letter writer feel threatened by her husband’s phone calls with his ex? How old is the couple? What else was right and wrong in their relationship? The writer clearly enjoys hearing from her ex, and he doesn’t appear to be hurtful. This could be something to build on. And, of course, a little therapy couldn’t hurt . . . Concerned in Colchester Dear Concerned, Thanks for your two cents. Love, Lola
