The City of Burlington has added fluoride to the water supply since 1952, as recommended by the Vermont Department of Health to promote strong teeth and dental health.

with Dean’s struggle to find balance between the tight world of liberal money and the growing arena of scared but undecided voters. Unfortunately, for Dr. Dean to make it with big media, he is going to have to spend more time “looking like a doctor� and less “being Howard Dean.� It is not political bias, but people’s almostcompulsive willingness to purchase reassurance about the leaders in charge of major changes — that attracts big media.

STATEWIDE SERVICES As the coordinator of the Vermont Coalition of Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs (VCRHYP), I’d like to thank Seven Days for running the article detailing Spectrum Youth and Family Services’ efforts to serve runaway and homeless youth in Burlington [“Reaching Out,� June 8]. VCRHYP is a strongly coordinated statewide body whose member programs work diligently to create a safety net for Vermont’s runaway, homeless and at-risk youth. It’s been exciting to observe Spectrum grow and develop into the program it is today. VCRHYP is proud of Spectrum’s work and of the youth who excel so well at living, even when the pathway laid out for them is not always trouble free. Similar work for runaway and homeless youth occurs in communities throughout Vermont. Twelve agencies, including Spectrum, make up the coalition, casting a network of services that covers the length and breadth of Vermont. While Chittenden County’s homeless youth population may be more visible than in other regions of Vermont, homeless youth are not just an issue for urban areas. Youth living in Vermont’s rural areas face many of the same problems that lead to the decision to leave home. It’s important for the readers of Seven Days to know that they have access to runaway and homeless 1x2-echo061505 6/9/05 5:05

the absurd Sunflower Ban and now the North End Perennial Herb and Tulip Police. Throw in the Circus Animal and the Nothing but Dogs and Cats on Church Street bans and you get a City Council that legislates not only dubious moral issues, but personal aesthetics, lifestyles and non-issues. If the circus does come to town, that town will not be Burlington, but Essex and the fairgrounds. If I have a pet snake because of dog-hair allergies, should I not have the right to walk it on Church Street? If I am
a practicing Druid, which my family was before conversion to Roman Catholicism was forced on them under pain of death, should I have to cut my lawn at all? What next? Will the morbidly obese have a curfew? In protest, I planted sunflowers and fennel in my front yard. I am contemplating planting the green strip with millet, ragweed, thistles and scotch broom to attract massive flocks of birds, aggravate allergies, scratch passers-by and introduce a non-native shrub that will spread like the plague.
If the City Council curtailed the parade of unsolicited god merchants ringing my doorbell, that would be valuable. Could Seven Days please list the names of those who initiate and support these junk proposals so that the next time around they could be voted out of office? Peter Klove BURLINGTON
FREEDOM TO GARDEN [Regarding “Local Matters,” June 1]: One of the distinguishing features making Burlington an
attractive town is the visual diversity of its streets, especially in warm weather: the architecture of old buildings with carefully painted details, window boxes and gardens everywhere. I meander through neighborhoods. I love that people have nurtured plants, from window boxes and potted flowers livening up porches and front steps to transforming greenbelts from mini-lawns to textured, colorful mini-landscapes of flowers, ornamental grasses, groundcovers and small trees. A few years ago, utility work required digging up the greenbelts on my street. I had already called DigSafe to site plantings around my home. I asked the workers if they could leave the greenbelt bare in front of my house, instead of reseeding it. They did, and I filled it with plants, which I’ve tended since then. I don’t like lawns, but would never challenge a homeowner’s right to maintain one. Tastes vary; variety enriches our town. The same stretch of greenbelt can look either neglected or cultivated to be a mini-meadow, depending on one’s point of view. As Picard states in his article, people have complained about the state of some of those greenbelts.
I believe the City Council’s response is a chilling one: to create an ordinance “to establish uniform standards” for those cityowned, privately maintained greenbelts. We are reasonable people. If folks have inadvertently caused damage or created hazards in gardening, respect us; let us know. Creating laws to micromanage, punish and create uniformity is insulting. We don’t need garden police. Cherry Racusin BURLINGTON
SKIP THE PROMO PACK It is a shame that Andy Smetanka [“Selling the Fizzle,” June 1] can’t get out of the office and find the new music that is going on locally. . . I can assure him that musicians despise creating the equivalent of a musical resume as much as he dreads reading through them. Regardless, the bottom line for bands is that spending time and money sending promo packs to people like him is a total waste of time. He’s not going to write about a random band he’s never met after listening to their promo CD for 20 minutes. He’s going to use the space to first promote the shows >> 27A
CORRECTION: Last week’s cover story, “Reaching Out,” incorrectly stated that The Pearl Street Clinic, which is adjacent to and partnered with the youth drop-in center, is run by Spectrum Youth and Family Services. The clinic is actually run by the Community Health Center of Burlington. We apologize for the error.

Bernie on GOP Hit List
T
he first shot fired in the 2006 Vermont U.S. Senate race was fired on Monday, but the trigger was pulled far from Vermont, in Washington, D.C. The gun in question belonged to a staffer at the Republican National Senatorial Committee. Everyone knows that in the wake of Sen. Jim Jeffords’ retirement announcement, the race for that open Vermont seat will be the most expensive and hard-fought in state history. Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders, Vermont’s political living legend, has made it clear he intends to fill Jeezum Jim’s Senate seat. The GOP has made it clear this week they will stop at nothing to defeat him. And despite trial balloons from political has-beens like Doug Racine, most leading Democrats are backing Bernie. Monday’s press release from the RNSC was titled “Bernie Sanders: An Ineffective Extremist and Extremely Ineffective.” The evidence provided was the charge that Sanders has introduced 155 bills since arriving in Congress back in 1991 and only one has become law! Shocking! So we rang up the RNSC and spoke with Brian Nick, the staffer focused on Vermont. Very pleasant chap. The Indianapolis native previously worked on Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s personal staff. We expressed our surprise that the RNSC was labeling Vermont’s seven-term congressman an “extremist.” Does that mean the 68 percent of Vermont voters who backed Bernie are extremists, too? We asked Mr. Nick for an example to prove his “extremist” point. The RNSC spokesman cited juvenile justice legislation from 1999 that he said Bernie did not support. It was actually a 1999 amendment that would have “limited the exposure of pornographic material to minors.” Unlike Sanders, he said, “most members did not support exposing minors to sexually explicit music or videos.” We looked it up. Oopsie! The amendment in question was offered by Rep. Henry Hyde (R-Illinois), a legendary conservative. It would have required store owners to listen to and, when necessary, censor the lyrics on the music CDs and videos they stocked. Good bye, America. Hello, Big Brother, eh? Nick was right. Sanders of Vermont voted “no.” But what the RNSC spokesman neglected to point out was the fact that Ol’ Bernardo joined 281 other members, many Republicans among them, in defeating Hyde’s porno amendment. It lost on a 282-146 roll call vote. Interesting. Sanders’ Chief of Staff Jeff Weaver told “Inside Track” the RNSC salvo is an opening sample of the “distortions and untruths” that lie ahead. The truth, said the St. Albans native, is that Bernie is one of the most effective members of the U.S. House, and he had the numbers to back it up. According to Weaver, “Sanders has passed the most floor amendments of any member of the House since 1996.” In that period, the House has adopted 14 amendments offerered by Bernie. Rep. Chris Smith (R-
Connecticut) was second with 11. They were the only two members in double digits. Not bad for an “ineffective extremist” from Vermont, eh? Statehouse Finale — On Tuesday, Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington said she expects the House will hold “a full session, not a token session” on Thursday to amend the already passed state budget bill. Language related to the state college teachers-union contract dispute with the state college administration will be changed to meet the wishes of Gov. Jim Douglas, she said. Speaker Gaye said the House will also act on a resolution “to study the state colleges.” Administration Secretary Charlie Smith said, “We’re open to that approach. There are some technical things we need to understand first.” A Tuesday afternoon meeting with the Speaker’s team was scheduled. Certainly, Symington gave no indication Democrats had any cards up their sleeves. In fact, Gaye and the Ds have been quiet as mice since the session ended. Instead, Gov. Douglas has pretty much controlled the news coverage. After all, the Guv struck quickly, as soon as the gavel fell, even before Democratic and Progressive lawmakers could get to their cars. Douglas led a perfectly staged GOP pep rally at which he announced his intention to veto both the budget and the universal-health-care bill. All the post-adjournment news coverage has been about the governor standing firm and tall, while the Democrats have been silent. “We are not full-time politicians,” Symington explained in defense when asked about that silence. “We’re trying to get back to our lives and jobs,” said the working wife and mother. But Madame Speaker assured us, the health-care-reform torch will not go out. The new state budget contains language establishing a Health Care Commission with a paid director and two full-time assistants. Six public hearings will be held around Vermont between now and the legislature’s return in January. A number of studies have been commissioned, too. “We’ll be on track when the commission gets its work started,” said Symington. She noted that at her recent appearance before the Burlington Rotary, the audience asked more questions about the Democrats’ health-care bill than anything else. “Once I explained how the payroll tax would actually work,” said Symington, “many said they had never really understood it before,” based on what they heard or read in the press. In fact, she told us, she’s even received an invitation to speak to South Carolina Democrats. Hey, wait a minute. That’s a primary state. “Symington for President?” we asked. Wish we could have bottled the ensuing laughter.

ORGANIZER ADRIAN TANS TOASTS THE CARAVAN WITH FREE LEMONADE AT STONE SOUP
Bikers in the Buff June 11 was World Naked Bike Ride Day, and a group of 20 or so brave bikers commemorated it by cycling nude through the streets of Burlington. They weren’t alone — according to http://www.worldnakedbikeride .org, riders in more than 50 cities worldwide pedaled to protest reliance on fossil fuels, and to celebrate “the power and individuality of our bodies.” Burlington’s contingent assembled between 6 and 7 p.m. in the parking lot of Greener Pastures and Junktiques on North Winooski Avenue. Husband-and-wife organizers Adrian and Lina Tans are residents of Cambridge, Massachusetts, who were in town visiting friends for the weekend. They promoted the protest by passing out fliers at local coffeehouses, and word traveled fast. Two first-year students from UVM who showed up said they’d seen an announcement on a nudist website. Another woman heard about it on WRUV. While all of the cyclists supported the cause, most seemed to enjoy simply providing some spicy street theater. Michael Nedell, a longhaired slam poet, author and former presidential candidate, painted silver stars on his nipples and wrapped himself in red, white and blue cords of tinsel for the ride. He pedaled a rusty red Schwinn, modified for the occasion. He added a basket, to carry his clothes “just in case,” and attached a hand-lettered cardboard
sign that read “World Naked Bike Ride Day.” He also replaced the old seat with a newer leather model. “The spring was kind of coming through,” he explained. “It wasn’t very comfortable.” Just before departure, Adrian Tans prepped his posse on how not to get arrested. “No lewd acts,” he advised, adding that they should avoid riding through city parks. Being naked in public isn’t a problem, he explained — it’s disrobing in public that can get you arrested. Ergo, the activists undressed en masse in the Junktiques garage. The unclothed caravan — including a naked rollerblader — immediately attracted attention. Cheers erupted from people sitting on porches as the group rolled down North Winooski Avenue towards Pearl Street. Surprised motorists snapped photos with their cell phones as the riders turned right on Pearl, then zigzagged through downtown, cutting across crowded Church Street whenever possible. They got a few catcalls — one pre-teen girl along South Winooski Avenue covered her eyes and cried, “You’re sick!” — but overall the reception was positive, if puzzled. Few people seemed to get the anti-oil message. As the group passed the intersection of College and Church streets, an excited man in a giant, gas-guzzling Ford Expedition signaled his support by honking his horn repeatedly, prompting cheers from pedestrians and outdoor diners at Sweetwaters. One confused woman shouted, “Why are you naked?” “We’re protesting oil dependency,” a rider yelled as he passed. “And, it’s a really hot day.” CATHY RESMER

<localmatters> New Revenues for Rutland? John Casella, for example. He’s chairman and CEO of Casella Waste Systems of Rutland, one of the largest waste-management firms in North America. Where’s the creativity in taking out the trash? As Casella explained to the audience, his company has succeeded in large part through innovations — such as capturing the methane produced by landfills to generate electricity, and then using the waste heat from the process to grow hothouse tomatoes. “We can take resources from a community, which were once historically viewed as a liability, and turn them into an asset,” Cassella says. Another panelist was India Burnett Farmer of “Rutbusters,” a group of residents in their twenties and thirties who are trying to make their city more attractive to young professionals. Farmer noted that lack of housing downtown turns Rutland City into a virtual ghost town after quitting time. During an open discussion, community members tossed out their own suggestions — such as turning Center Street into a pedestrian mall with art galleries, and establishing a community center at the Paramount Theater. Not everyone was convinced that the talk will lead to anything tangible. One local businessman griped afterward that most city officials were notably absent. And Three Tomatoes owner Allen Frey observed that during the entire two-hour meeting, only 14 people walked past his restaurant. “And this at the height of the afternoon rush,” he lamented. “One thing hasn’t changed in Rutland. There’s no life in downtown.” Others were more optimistic. Elisabeth Kulas of the Rutland County Community Land Trust urged Rutland residents to dream big. “The resources [for change] are out there,” she said. “Don’t get bogged down on why an idea won’t work. If you have a great idea, figure out how to make it happen and shoot for the stars.” KEN PICARD

Is Rutland ready to become Vermont’s next “It” town? Maybe not. But residents gathered for a “Creative Economy Forum” last Thursday at Three Tomatoes Trattoria on Merchants Row were exploring ways to at least give the place more life. Many in attendance complained that the central Vermont city too often approaches its problems with a “can’tdo” attitude. But organizer Elizabeth Stedman of the lobbying firm Kimbell-Sherman-Ellis looked over the 150 people who’d turned out for the midday meeting and remarked, “Rutland is really ready to have this conversation.” The term “creative economy” refers to a broad set of cultural, intellectual and economic activity that includes artists, writers, musicians, engineers, educators, architects, and others who make a living as creative professionals. The phrase was coined by Richard Florida, a Carnegie-Mellon economist who contends that creativity-based enterprises will fuel U.S. economic growth in the 21st century. Florida argues that towns and cities that foster innovative entrepreneurial activity and attract young, creative professionals will be the ones that create the most jobs, pay the highest wages, and offer the best quality of life. By one estimate, New England’s creative economy exceeds $4.3 billion annually. Communities across Vermont have been holding town meetings similar to Rutland’s to figure out how to beef up their own artistic and cultural endeavors. Those discussions dovetail with the release of a report by the Vermont Council on Culture and Innovation on “Advancing Vermont’s Creative Economy.” The report offers specific recommendations for attracting “clean” industries, stimulating cultural enterprises, and developing a town’s unique “brand identity.” Rutland already has an image, but not for its hopping arts scene. Some of the Rutland panelists didn’t seem to fit the creative-professional profile. Take

For 135 years, Specialty Filaments of Burlington has been manufacturing fibers used
in everything from street sweepers to toothbrushes. But last month, company owner Capital Resource Partners (CRP) announced it’s giving the brush-off to more than 130 workers, who will lose their jobs in July. What’s a lifetime of employment at Specialty Filaments worth? About three-and-a-half weeks’ pay. That’s the maximum severance package being offered to an employee with 43 years of service. Anyone who’s been with the company less than five years — the average length of employment is 15 — gets nothing but a pink slip. “These people dedicated their lives to this company,” says Pam Pariseau, union president of UNITE HERE Local 438, who was among the 150-plus people at a Burlington rally last weekend. “If CRP didn’t have the resources, it’d almost be understandable.” Boston-based CRP, a privately owned investment firm, manages more than $1 billion in assets. Company officials did not return calls from Seven Days.

Curses, Foiled Again When Ron Stone, 30, asked Sgt. Jason Kearney for a ride in his marked patrol car, the Bulloch County, Georgia, sheriff’s deputy agreed but said he first had to search Stone for weapons. Stone consented, according to Sheriff Lynn Anderson, who reported that Kearney found two small bags of marijuana on him. He took Stone to Bulloch County Jail, where a check turned up an outstanding warrant in another county for marijuana possession with intent to distribute. • Police in Roswell, Georgia, said that Rodriquez Lamar Massett, 18, robbed a taxi driver of $74 at gunpoint and fled

Life and Death Unhealthy lifestyles, emotional stress and environmental pollution in China’s richest city have taken a heavy toll on the local sperm count. The Shanghai Daily reported that Shanghai’s sperm bank has managed to collect just 6000 samples in two years, and many of those were of “poor quality.” “More than 2000 people came here for physical checks and only 400 were found to be qualified” to donate sperm, the sperm bank’s director, Li Zheng, told the newspaper. 2x2-tidyturf060105 5/27/05 PMto Page • Shanghai, which is1:45 trying reverse1 more than a decade of slowing popula-

Or Are You Just Glad to See Me? Police in Stamford, Connecticut, arrested Arthur Bertana, 62, for lewd conduct after they said he placed a toy banana in his pants and flashed people. “Over a span of time, there were several reports of a subject wearing extremely tight pants with an obvious bulge stuffed down his pants,” Sgt. Roger Petrone, Jr. said, explaining that Bertana usually held a bag in front of his pants, then 1x8-speeder061505

Lest We Forget Some of the 20,000 Australians and New Zealanders who traveled to Turkey’s Anzac Cove to commemorate the more than 11,000 Australians and New Zealanders who died there during World War II’s ninemonth Gallipoli campaign expressed outrage when Australian organizers of the ceremony played the Bee Gees’ hit song, “Stayin’ Alive,” along with “You Should Be Dancin’,” on a large screen during a break in the official program. “It’s not a festival,” Amy Hutton, a member of the crowd, complained. “You are here to pay respect.”

He paid about $1000 in fees over the past five years, learning a little more each time he failed until he finally earned the minimum score needed to pass. Seo immediately turned his attention to his road test, pointing out, “After trying 271 times to pass the oral exam, what do I have to be afraid of?” • More Americans are riding motorcycles than ever, led by aging, affluent baby boomers, according to the Washington Post, which reported that riders over 40 account for 60 percent of the increase in motorcycle deaths.

border crossings from Mexico to the United States have spurred more imaginative efforts by smugglers and individual migrants. “The creativity is basically without bounds,” Adele Fasano of the San Diego district of U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. Border officials found Marisela Chavez-Ramirez and her 3-year-old daughter curled up in the gas tank of a Dodge Caravan, for example. In Texas, authorities found a man rolling down the street disguised as a tumbleweed. People have also tried attaching cow hoofs to their feet to disguise their footprints. “The only problem with that,” said Doug Mosier of the Border Patrol in El Paso, “is there aren’t too many two-legged cows.”

Burlington’s Vermont City Marathon would start at 8 a.m. Sunday morning — a scant five hours away. More to the point, I’m a middle-aged cabdriver; the only marathon I’m fit for is an event that combines eating and watching television. Sign me up for that one. “I don’t think so,” I replied. “I get tired driving 26.2 miles, for crissake.” “I’m with you, buddy,” the woman said, and let out a hearty laugh. She looked terrific for someone who had just survived the Saturday-night club scene. Her face showed no sign of fatigue; she was still fresh, well scrubbed and brighteyed. With her blonde hair held back behind a white headband, she could have been in an Ivory Soap advertisement. “I will be out there tomorrow morning, however,” she continued. “My sister’s running in a relay.” We drifted up Pine Street at a leisurely pace. “Leisurely” is not a word generally ascribed to my driving, but as this was my last fare of the night, I let the hammer up. “So,” my customer said, turning to face me. “If you had the opportunity to meet and hang out with any person, living or dead, who would that be?” “Jeez,” I said, “what a great question. Off the top of my head — John Lennon.” “Interesting, interesting. Why John Lennon?” “Well, actually,” I said, “now that I think about it, can I switch? I’d like to go with the Dalai Lama.” “Nope, it doesn’t work that way,” she said, wagging her finger at me. “You have to go with your first instinct. I’m sorry,
but them’s the rules. So, again — what is it about John Lennon?” “Man, you are persistent,” I said, chuckling. “And strict.” “OK, I’ll accept that. But I’m still waiting.” This woman had a disarming presence. Although it looked like it on the surface, she wasn’t really being pushy; rather, it was her openness and delightful manner that invited conversation. I’d wager she makes everyone she meets more voluble. “All right, then. I’ll tell you a story about this, and it’s something I haven’t spoken about in 25 years,” I told her. “Like many of my generation, I think I took John for granted while he was still alive. I remember the day in 1980 when this vividly came home to me. It was during a short period in my life when I had a desk job, and I was sitting in the office. A co-worker walks in and tells me that John Lennon had been shot and killed by a crazed fan. And then she walks out. “I sat there frozen for about 10 seconds, and then put my head down on my desk and cried. I mean, like a baby, like I had just lost a family member. Until that very moment, I hadn’t realized what a profound connection I had with the man, how much he meant to me, and I don’t think I was alone in that. His life mirrored the trials and tribulations of our own lives, and when he wrote and sang songs about it, he gave us all hope. He raised our spirits. Man, I still love the guy to this day.” We turned onto Home Avenue and rumbled over the tracks that carried the short-lived Champlain Flyer. The elaborate train crossing they built for that purpose seemed like overkill at the time; now that the train is out of commission, I really wish they’d take it down. It’s kind of depressing, not to mention a road hazard. We ascended the steep hill into the labyrinth of Redrock dwellings. Between the pink rock formations, the chiseled cliffs, and the homes all packed willy-nilly, one on top of the other, this development feels like a Vermont version of Navajo pueblos. As we passed a section of exposed rock, I half-expected to see ancient, faded paintings of leaping catamounts. Pulling up to my customer’s home, I asked, “OK, what about you? Who’s your person?” “Wow, no one’s ever put the question back at me. I guess turnabout’s fair play. So I’ll say Jimi Hendrix.” “Jimi Hendrix? I would have never guessed.” She handed me the fare and, as she climbed out of the cab, she grinned and said, “No, I want to change my mind. I choose the Dalai Lama.” 쩾

ustomers enter my taxi with a variety of attitudes. As I have way too much time on my hands, I’ve given this a lot of thought. And I’ve determined that the way my passengers interact with me is the result of two converging factors: their personalities and how their day is going. Some folks are bubbly by nature; others are flat. Some may have just met the love of their lives; others just got downsized. You get the idea. Every so often, a person sits down next to me who seems to have been waiting to speak to me all day. Of course, many of these customers have a screw loose, but not all. Sometimes, they’re just very friendly. Such as the woman sitting next to me on one recent ride. After giving me her destination — the Redrock condos — she asked, “Will I see you at the starting line tomorrow morning?” As it was nearly three in the morning, this was an exceedingly wry inquiry.
Eat well.

“This isn’t exaclty what I had in mind when I mentioned ‘make-up sex.’”
the straight dope
BY CECIL ADAMS
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Dear Cecil, In the column in your online archive about why the missionary position is called that [1992], you repeat the myth that the term missionary position was coined by unidentified natives as a reaction to shocked missionaries’ proselytization against unorthodox sexual positions. To your credit, you mention that there is no hard evidence supporting this assertion. However, Robert J. Priest (yes, the coincidence is amusing) in his article “Missionary Positions: Christian, Modernist, Post-Modernist” (Current Anthropology, February 2001) carefully picks this story apart. [Lengthy explanation omitted because I’m about to go through it below. — C.A.] Priest even cites the “Straight Dope” as one of the many sources perpetuating the missionary position story. Anyway, this is my contribution to the fighting of ignorance. Zoinks, via the Straight Dope Message Board Now, Zoinks. I didn’t just “repeat the myth.” I told the story, then remarked, “That’s the legend, at least. It may not be true.” As it turns out, my caution was amply justified. Thanks to you and Robert Priest, we now appear to have the full story on missionary position. Although European and Euro-descended Christian missionaries have been propagating the faith in far corners of the world for centuries, the phrase “missionary position,” meaning the partners-facing/man-on-top posture for heterosexual intercourse, was at one point thought to have first surfaced only in the late 1960s. This timing suggested to a lot of people, me included, that the standard explanation of the phrase’s provenance in terms of actual prissy missionaries was dubious. I speculated that the phrase was the work of ’60s rads poking fun at uptight religious types. That guess wasn’t entirely off the mark, but it omitted a key connection, which Priest has now supplied. He unearthed what he believes to be the missionary position urtext, namely the following quote from Alfred Kinsey’s
Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948): “It will be recalled that [anthropologist Bronislaw] Malinowski ([The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia,] 1929) records the nearly universal use of a totally different [sexual] position among the Trobrianders in the Southwestern Pacific; and that he notes that caricatures of the EnglishAmerican position are performed around the communal campfires, to the great amusement of the natives who refer to the position as the ‘missionary position.’” According to Priest, however, Malinowski’s book says nothing about the missionary position as we now understand the term. What it does say at widely separated points is that (a) Trobrianders play ribald games at gatherings during the full moon; (b) islanders who work for whites sometimes mimic the inept (in their estimation) copulatory flailings of their employers; and (c) some Trobrianders object to public displays of affection between lovers, which they term misinari si bubunela, “missionary fashion,” viewing such things as an immoral Christian import. Furthermore, Kinsey in his book claims that the Christian church once considered nonMP sex sinful. Priest conjectures that Kinsey conflated these disparate elements to come up with the missionary position tale, apparently never bothering to compare his faulty recollection against Malinowski’s words. Priest, a divinity school professor, believes that from there “missionary position” gradually took hold as a way of marginalizing the Christian take on things, but he suggests that Kinsey, whatever his motives, made an honest mistake. Others take a less charitable view of the sex-research pioneer’s approach to the facts. E. Michael Jones’s Degenerate Moderns: Modernity as Rationalized Sexual Misbehavior (1993), which Priest cites in passing, blames Kinsey for the discredited (by me among others) legend that the Vatican has the world’s largest pornography collection. Evidently having called some of the same people I did, Jones records the usual denials that the Vatican has a pornography collection, and traces belief to the contrary to Kinsey, who used to get laughs in lectures by claiming that the trove of smut he’d amassed for his research was second only to, or in fact larger than, the pile of porn possessed by the Holy See. Kinsey’s basis for such statements: A casual remark by a visitor who’d been to Rome and, on seeing Kinsey’s collection, commented (I presume in jest) that it was almost as large as the Vatican’s. Jones remarks sternly that Kinsey “seems to have made no effort to contact the Vatican,” and that “there is every reason to believe that he continued to make the statement even knowing that it was false.” Having occasionally been tempted to embellish a tale to get a rise out of an audience, I can’t be too harsh on the old voyeur, who whatever his defects materially advanced our understanding of sex. Just the same, I’m happy now to help set the record straight. CECIL ADAMS

viewers alike. And Tucker-Ketcham’s hypersensitivity appears to be history. Optimistic and seemingly grounded, she’s walking proof that angst is not a required ingredient for good art.

I IMAGE Matthew Thorsen ARTWORK Sage TuckerKetcham and “Looking Up, Looking Down” “Compound Amalgamation,” new and collaborative work by Sage TuckerKetcham and Mikey Welsh. 47Sanctuary, Burlington. Reception June 17, 6-9 p.m. Through July 22. Info, http://www. studiostk.com.
t’s almost impossible to tell how Sage Tucker-Ketcham makes her paintings, and she likes it that way. The smooth, amoebic shapes, stringy black lines and expanses of ethereal color hold on to her secret. But in fact, the Burlington artist’s technique is pretty simple: drips. She starts by choosing a color and deciding where to put it on the canvas, then letting it pool. After that she adds another color — acrylic house paint, watercolor, maybe some polyurethane — and waits to see what happens. She hasn’t tired of the random thrills provided by chemistry and physics. “People think I do this, but no; the paint does it,” TuckerKetcham says modestly. “I just drink coffee and watch it.” When she’s satisfied with the composition, she may drip black outlines
mid-twenties to produce such engaging paintings, and have a dozen exhibitions on her resume, is remarkable enough. That she’s just launched a gallery and art-education center in Burlington suggests she’s a fearless entrepreneur as well. “I’ve wanted to do this,” she claims, “since I was 5 years old.” Tucker-Ketcham is not wasting any time following her dream. Studio STK, which hosted an opening party last Saturday, comprises seven smallish rooms and a broad, Ushaped hallway connecting them. It’s on the ground floor at 64 North Street, right in the middle of the Old North End’s revitalization efforts. Tucker-Ketcham rents the space from the Burlington Housing Authority. In it, she plans to hold private and group art classes for kids, drawing on eight

around some of the shapes. Then comes the final and, she says, hardest part: brushing in the background color. Sometimes she doesn’t do it at all; other times she’ll only go part way, leaving the “unfinished” work with the somewhat unsettling energy of an unanswered question. Being privy to this information doesn’t make her paintings any less impressive to a viewer. After all, Tucker-Ketcham has created her own detour from the artistic road laid down by such revered 20th-century abstract expressionists as Jackson Pollock. And in any case, the process is not as easy as she makes it sound — try it at home and you’ll soon agree. There’s much to be said for color sensibility, artistic vision and the sheer eye-hand coordination to carry it through. Tucker-Ketcham is only two years out of college. For a woman in her
years of teaching experience in afterschool and enrichment programs, including Burlington City Arts’ summer art camps. One of Studio STK’s front rooms is a gallery; its debut exhibition is a group of wildly expressionist, “art brut”-style paintings and sculpture by Tucker-Ketcham’s friend Mikey Welsh. Her own calmer works line the broad hallway, and her working studio is at the other end of the U. In between are a couple of classrooms — the door to one bears a sign made by Welsh that reads: “Messy Kids.” “I think making art should be messy,” Tucker-Ketcham explains. Inside the room is a chalkboard “so I can draw examples without wasting paper,” she adds. She’s not overlooking the grownups, though. “The parents of my students often say they’d like to do this,
too,” Tucker-Ketcham says, gesturing at the children’s unfettered paintings hung around the room. “So I’m putting together a curriculum for adults . . . It’s for people who have never studied art, or for those who have but may find themselves in a corner.” Tucker-Ketcham is petite and vivacious, with dark hair and flashing brown eyes; she has a winning combination of humility, enthusiasm and self-assurance. It’s easy to picture her encouraging students of any age. Yet her own artistic education was bumpy. Tucker-Ketcham was born to young parents who divorced several months after she was born. Both are 7th-generation Vermonters who are remarried and live in the Burlington area. At age 11, Sage and her mother, Leslie Tucker, moved to Toronto, then took off the following year for England. Later they relocated to Virginia, where Sage attended all four years of public high school. Tucker-Ketcham returned to Vermont for college and initially went to Goddard. That lasted six months. She switched to Burlington College and loved it, but the art department “did not have what I needed,” she says. Finally, she decided on the Maine College of Art in Portland, where she earned, painfully, a B.A. in Fine Arts. “It was really hard, but it was great — they basically broke me down and built me back up,” Tucker-Ketcham says. “I would cry at times; the paintings were very personal and I was letting them out in the world . . . But now I’m more professional; you just can’t go cry in a corner.” As a student trying to find her artistic “voice,” Tucker-Ketcham wrangled with a particularly demanding professor, and ultimately triumphed. “I built my own process,” she explains. “Instead of reacting to the criticism, I said, ‘OK, I’ll show you how I can do it.’ By the end I was getting As.” That process — and steely determination — led to work that, post-college, has attracted gallery owners and
Sage Tucker-Ketcham and Mikey Welsh met through the large-scale, four-panel painting, entitled “Looking Up, Looking Down,” that she made during a month-long “Progress/ Process” residency at the Firehouse Gallery in 2003 — hers was the only painting Welsh liked. Later, TuckerKetcham was a “special guest” at Welsh’s 2004 exhibit at the Gallerie@ Opaline. They’re soon to be teaching buddies as well, at some of Studio STK’s summer art camps for kids. And this Friday, June 17, the two will open a joint exhibit at 47Sanctuary that features new individual works as well as four collaborative pieces. For the latter, Tucker-Ketcham and Welsh each had their way with two canvases and then traded, working over and around what the other had done. The resultant paintings are simply extraordinary — the combination of their very different styles is astonishingly effective and nearly seamless. But the works will surely provoke some head-scratching. “What they did is pretty amazing,” says 47Sanctuary curator Joseph Peila. He’s particularly fascinated by a painting titled “Ningmeng” — Tucker-Ketcham’s solid background hues, in this case bright pink, are evident, but with ghostly faces appended. “There’s a sort of mythicalism to her faces,” Peila notes. “I’ve always said I’d be interested to see where these go.” So is the artist, apparently: TuckerKetcham has been working on charcoal portraits since college, and several studies from that parallel interest are included in the show. Her painting “Looking Up, Looking Down” is not at 47Sanctuary; it’s still hanging in the hallway at Studio STK. But that work was responsible for another important connection for Tucker-Ketcham: Flynn Center Executive Director Andrea Rogers. “For several years she had a large, colorful painting at the [nowdefunct] Ferrisburgh Artisans Guild, and there was a strength about it, wild and wonderful, that really spoke to me,” says Rogers. “I thought Sage was a male, partly because of that strength.” When she came across Tucker-Ketcham and her new work at the Firehouse show, Rogers invited her to apply for a solo exhibit at the Flynn’s Amy E. Tarrant Gallery. “I said I wanted to do all new work and they said yes,” recalls Tucker-Ketcham. She produced six large abstract paintings and 22 small ones for the December ’04/January ’05 show. It proved to be a commercial milestone as well — she sold one of her big works for $2600. But Tucker-Ketcham certainly has no intention of stopping there. “I don’t want to be known as the dripabstract painter who now makes posters and placemats. I want to keep it new, and not get bored,” she suggests. “I’m at the point now where I’m, like, ‘Is this great? Can I live with this painting every day? It’s good, but is it great?’” m

Out and Proud? It’s been a good year to be queer in Vermont. In last fall’s elections, GLBT-friendly lawmakers took back all the seats they’d lost in the wake of the 2000 civil-union vote, and then some. Five openly gay legislators won seats in the legislature, and declared the anti-gay backlash “over.� Some 77 percent of Vermonters now say they approve of gay marriage or civil unions. The Burlington school district approved gender-identity protections for transgender students and employees, and UVM drew a record 500 people to its Translating Identities Conference in March. That should be enough to make any queer person proud. So why is Burlington’s Pride Festival shrinking? It might be a victim of its own success. The annual event, held in cities around the world, celebrates the New York City Stonewall Riots of June 1969, which marked the beginning of the modern gay-rights movement. Burlington held its first Gay and Lesbian Pride parade in 1983. The celebration expanded to include a whole series of queer-themed activities in the 1990s, including a daylong festival on the waterfront. For years, June was Pride Month in Vermont. But in 2003, Pride’s volunteer organizers scaled the festival back to one day. Then, in 2004, they got a slow start on the event, and were forced to bump it to July. This year, they’re bumping it off the Burlington waterfront. On Saturday, July 9, parade-goers will assemble near Edmunds Middle School for a stroll down Church Street. Queer organizations — but no food or merchandise vendors — can set up tables in City Hall. Lluvia Mulvaney-Stanak, co-executive director of Outright VT, and “surrogate member� of the Pride Committee, says the festival will be more “grassroots� this year. Why? “Basically, a major emphasis on lack of funds, and lack of community support,� she quips. Mulvaney-Stanak joined last year’s committee to replace veteran organizers who wanted to step aside. “Me and a few other helpless fools showed up,� she recalls. “And then before we knew it, we were the Pride committee.� The twentysomething activist explains that with fewer people involved, fundraising is becoming increasingly difficult. “Most people don’t realize the waterfront costs upwards of $10,000,� she says. That includes renting the space, the tents, the Port-a-Potties and the staging, and buying insurance. “It’s a huge investment, to have something down there.� Raising that kind of money puts a heavy burden on the committee’s volunteers. “Sometimes it feels like there are eight of us trying to pull this off by ourselves,� says committee member Chelsea Sullivan. Organizers stress the continuing need for Pride, but with so much progress in the state, some queer Vermonters have simply moved on. Jaime Tibbits, a lesbian who lives with her civil-unioned partner in South Hero, says she hasn’t been to Pride in five years. Tibbits, who was active in a queer student group while attending UVM, says she now volunteers for her town library and on the rescue squad. And, yes, her neighbors know she’s gay. “I’d much rather be out in my community than march in a parade,� she says. “I try to be out on a local level. I just live gay.� CATHY RESMER

inigolf, miniature golf, putt-putt — Americans have different names for the popular, pint-sized game James Barber invented in 1917. The shipping magnate is credited with building the first minigolf course, “Thistle Dhu,” in Pinehurst, North Carolina. When he was finished, his architect reportedly said, “This’ll do” — hence the name. The summer pastime caught on nationwide shortly thereafter. The official U.S. Open website estimates that people in the U.S. now play 500 million rounds each year. Minigolf is only one of three offerings at the Family Fun Center — visitors can also take swings at a driving range, or in the batting cages — but the small, 18hole spread is the seasonal center’s crown jewel. Located just off I-289, the course is Chris Bulger resplendent with evergreens and founAttendant and Groundskeeper tains, as well as gardens full of real flowEssex Family Center ers, and a wooden gazebo that looks out on the Green Mountains. Course attendant Chris Bulger, of Williston, has spent his past two summer vacations passing out putters and mowing the lawn. During the school year, he studies geography at New Mexico State University. SEVEN DAYS: When I think of miniature golf, I think of going to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where there seems to be a minigolf course on every block. It’s such a touristy thing to do. Are the people who come here tourists or locals? CHRIS BULGER: You see a lot of college students during the school year and quite a few families from Vermont. But there’s a surprising amount of tourists . . . Some people just like to come and walk around the course. They just like to look at it. Like, some people take pictures — SD: Wait. You’re in the middle of Vermont. There are all these mountains and picturesque views. And they want to take pictures of the minigolf course? CB: It’s always the tourists. We had a person from Japan who asked me if it was OK if he took pictures, because he hadn’t seen anything like this before. SD: Why do you think tourists want to play minigolf in Vermont, where there are so many other things to do? CB: It’s a good point. I’m not sure if it’s just that you can be outside in a new environment, but you don’t nec-
essarily have to go for a hike. It gives people something in common. I mean, they’ve played miniature golf before somewhere else. Here, it’s nice scenery. And if you come up from a city, this is unique. There are a lot of mowed fields. We’re by the road, but it doesn’t really feel like you’re by the road. SD: Your landscaping adds to that effect. For a minigolf course, it’s uncharacteristically tasteful. There aren’t any windmills, or animatronic gizmos. CB: A lot of places you go have silly things, but I think this appeals to a wider audience. The owners really spent a lot of time with the water aspect, trying to make nice waterfalls. They’ve got a cave for a couple holes. It’s challenging, but it’s not so challenging that people never make a hole in one. Even people who golf are happy with it. SD: What’s the hardest hole? CB: Number 12’s pretty difficult. It’s got a couple different pipes that you can choose to go through, and people get confused. If you haven’t played here before, you don’t know what to expect. With some of the other holes, you can kind of see where you’re try-
ing to putt, but with that one, it’s kind of a surprise.
The speeds are a big thing. You need to get a feel for how hard to hit it.
SD: Which one should they shoot for? CB: The first one. The second one is kind of the collect-all, missed the first hole.
SD: At most minigolf courses, you have at least one hole where you have to choose between aiming for the long skinny corridor that leads straight to the hole — but where you could easily get stuck — or the wider round-about way that won’t quite get you there, but puts you in a good position for the next shot. Which is the better choice? CB: I’d go for the little part, because it’s a challenge. That’s like Hole 14. If you hit the ball across this little bridge, it goes over a stream and into a pipe that drops the ball into or close to the hole. If you miss that bridge, the ball goes into the water. And people think, if you hit it in the water, that’s a bad thing, but this hole is designed so that the ball washes down into a ramp, and comes out on the green. People like that. They get surprised. I don’t think you’re bad off either way, but if you make the bridge, you’re going to be a little closer.
SD: What’s your favorite part of the course? CB: Holes 1 and 2. They’re not too difficult, and they have nice water features right around them. I like that, especially on a hot day. SD: But it’s not like you can actually go in the water. CB: You’re not in the water, but it’s nice to hear the water. People comment on that a lot. They like all the water. It’s a psychological thing . . . And people play with their clubs in the water. I’ve seen people just reach in the ponds with their clubs. I understand if they hit their balls in, but sometimes you just see people messing around with the water. It also helps drown out the noise from the road, the trucks, stuff like that. It’s peaceful, I think. SD: It’s kinda brown and foamy, though. CB: Yeah, we’re working on that. We’re trying to start up the pumps. We’re going to be filtering and vacuuming the ponds. It should get better soon. SD: Do you ever see people get mad? CB: Yeah, certain people have a tendency to get mad. They’re real competitive, and if they don’t win . . . I’ve seen a few people throw their clubs, but not too many. SD: Do you have any advice about how to play this course? CB: I’d just say look over each hole. In real golf, they read the greens. I think you need to do the same thing here. Take your time. Look it over.
SD: So where do the balls disappear to after the 18th hole? CB: People always ask about that. There’s a little wooden box next to the hole, with a lock on it. And there’s a basket in the bottom. It’s right to the side of the hole here, between the hole and the water. People want to look inside all the time. I’ll open it up for you. You can see, if I drop the ball in the hole, it shoots out this pipe here. SD: Hey, that’s so cool! I’ve always wondered about that. CB: A lot of times it’s little kids, but even adults ask where they go. A lot of people think that somehow the balls magically reappear in the right spot inside the building, when in reality, they end up here, and we have to come and get them. m

Hastert to Vermont two weeks ago is finally getting a little media attention. Speaker Hastert slipped quietly into town for two fundraising events at the South Burlington home of Fred Peet. Mr. Peet runs a real estate law firm on Patchen Road. State Sen. Peter Welch (DWindsor) had a beautiful line on it this week: “I’m kind of amazed the person who’s second in line to the presidency of the United States comes in as though he’s in the witness protection program. Nobody knew he was here; no opportunity for Vermont press or for Vermonters to talk to him about things that have enormous consequence here in Vermont.� Good point, eh? Vermont GOP Chairman Jim Barnett was quick Tuesday with a sharp response. Drawing inspiration from Attorney Welch’s television ads, Mad Dog Barnett told us he could picture an upcoming Candidate Welch campaign commercial in 2006. “If your feelings have been injured by Dennis Hastert, if George Bush’s reelection has caused you heartburn, I encourage you to sue someone,� joked Barnett. “I’m Peter Welch, call me and I can help get you the compensation you’re entitled to. I only get paid if you win!� Funny guy. But it doesn’t change the fact that the Republican Party chose to sneak Dennis Hastert into Vermont like he was Osama bin Laden slipping across the Pakistan border. While Gov. Douglas did not attend the fundraisers at the Peet residence, he did meet with Hastert “for about 20 minutes� in an undisclosed location at the Burlington International Airport. Hmm. Well, it couldn’t have been the ladies’ room, eh? You’d think the Vermont GOP’s No. 1 goal is to conceal its ties to the Bush administration. Anyway, through the miracle of email we were able to contact Mr. Peet, who was traveling on a cruise ship to Alaska. According to Fred, about 50 people attended and the suggested donation was $1000. “Hastert feels Republicans in Vermont can win the House seat with a moderate candidate like Martha Rainville,� wrote Peet. “He had met Rainville earlier in D.C. He hopes to bring money to Vermont to support the GOP House candidate.� Cool. Gen. Rainville, however, did not attend the fundraiser, either. An aide told us she was busy that evening with Guard duties. Lite-Gov. Brian Dubie did attend. What Will Doobie-Do Do? — Brian Dubie told “Inside Track� this week he does not feel like the 2006 train has passed him by. You’ll recall that IDX owner Rich Tarrant quickly launched his U.S. Senate trial balloon after Sen. Jim Jeffords announced he was retiring. And Gen. Martha Rainville suddenly came out of the military closet as a Republican, with her eyes fixed on the U.S. House seat Bernie Sanders will vacate. On Monday, Dubie had a representative attend a training session in Washington for potential
GOP 2006 Senate candidates. It was put on by the RNSC, and the topic was campaign-finance laws. The Doobster said he was represented at the session by Charlotte Attorney Brady Toensing. According to the Washington Post, Toensing is the son of Washington, D.C., lawyer Victoria Toensing. She and current husband Joseph diGenova are also law partners (http://www.digeno vatoensing.com). Back in the late 1990s, Howard Kurtz of the Post described the pair as the “power couple� at the “vortex� of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Small world, eh? “Martha, Rich and I are talking,� said Dubie. “We’re interested in the best possible team.� Sounds like either Tarrant or Rainville is going to have to change their plans, because Doobie-Do said he isn’t interested in running in a primary. Stay tuned. P.S. Richie Rich was represented at the Monday RNSC session by Burlington accountant Mike Flynn. Peter the Great — Peter: It’s a pretty common name in Vermont political circles. We’ve got Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, State Sen. Peter Welch and Vermont Democratic Party Chairman Peter Mallary. But don’t you dare forget former State Sen. Peter Shumlin of Putney. That’s because Putney Pete, who lost the three-way 2002 Lite-Gov race that made Brian Dubie famous, has his sights firmly fixed on the 2006 race for the U.S. House. All the news ink so far has been about Peter Welch and fellow State Sen. Matt Dunne. As everyone knows, the thirtysomething Dunne has made it perfectly clear he would step aside if the fiftysomething Welch wants to run. And the conventional wisdom this week is that he will run. But hold all bets, folks. Former Senate President Peter Shumlin told “Inside Track� in no uncertain terms this week that he is planning a run for Sanders’ open U.S. House seat. “I am excited,� said Shumlin, “about taking a strong voice to Washington and standing up to the extremists running our country.� In the 2002 election, the beginning of the post-Howard Dean Age in Vermont, Shumlin was poised to run for governor but bowed to pressure from Dean and U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy to give then Lt. Gov. Doug Racine a clear shot at governor. We all know what a dismal flip-flop of a campaign Racine ran, losing to Jim Douglas. Instead, in the Lite-Gov race, Shumlin and Progressive Anthony Pollina divided the left and greased the skids for Dubie. “In hindsight, I might have done it differently,� said Shumlin. “I made the mistake of deferring to party leadership. I don’t intend to make that mistake twice.� Shumlin made it clear he will not shy away from a Democratic primary this time. In addition, Shumlin was particularly critical of the deal Welch and Speaker Symington made with Entergy, owner of Vermont Yankee. “We’ll be stuck forever with high-level radioactive waste on
SEVEN DAYS | june 15-22, 2005
the shores of the Connecticut River,” said Shummy. “I wish they’d taken more time.” As for taking on Welch or Dunne in a primary, Shumlin said, “A primary can be healthy. Voters, not party leaders, would get to decide who’s strongest.” Interesting. Skip to Slovakia! — The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will vote Wednesday afternoon on the appointment of 11 new Bush administration ambassadors to countries including France, Spain, Iraq and the Slovak Republic. A long-time favorite of “Inside Track” readers, Skip Vallee of South Burlington will be approved for the ambassador’s residence in Bratislava, Slovakia. The owner of more than two dozen gas stations in Vermont, including the Maplefields minimart chain, has been a very good nominee, declining interview requests until the deal is done. Certainly there’s no question that had Skip not raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Bush-Cheney campaign he would never have had a shot. It’s a funny way to conduct foreign policy, but that’s the way it works. Still, one has to smile when a hometown kid, regardless of party, snares the brass ring. P.S. For a window on Ambassador Skip’s new world, check out the website of the U.S. embassy in Bratislava: http://bratislava.usembassy.gov. Media Notes — It was another exciting week of Ch. 3 Six O’Clock News with solo anchor Marselis Parsons. Over a month ago, the station put out a press release announcing former reporter Kristen Kelly would return in “late May or early June” from NECN in Boston to fill the coanchor seat left vacant by Sera Congi’s departure. As you recall, News Director Parsons got a little snippy and defensive last week when we inquired about Ms. Kelly’s arrival. Funny guy. Perhaps he only gives out information when he’s reading it off a teleprompter. However, according to reliable sources at WGOP, er, WCAX-TV News, Marsillyiss informed the news staff on Monday by email that the new female co-anchor will arrive at the Joy Drive HQ on Thursday. But Ms. Kelly won’t be hitting the airwaves right away. According to Parsons’ note, she will “practice” anchoring with her male co-anchors to be — Marsillyiss and 11 o’clock anchor Roger Garrity. The news staff was not informed of a specific date when the redhead will made her on-air debut. Meanwhile, over at WPTZTV, veteran news photographer Mike French is departing after seven years with our local NBC affiliate. Where’s he going? Get this: Mike’s going to bike across America.

CATHY RESMER
t’s summer. Your sister and her family are coming to visit. But you’ve already taken them for a stroll down Church Street. You’ve hiked Camel’s Hump, toured Ben & Jerry’s, wandered through the Vermont History Museum in Montpelier, and seen the bug art at the Fairbanks Museum in St. J. What’s left? Plenty. Vermont boasts a wealth of quirky, second- and third-rate tourist attractions that are easily as interesting as anything on the A-list. Just don’t expect these diamonds in the rough to sparkle at first glance. Sometimes you have to dust them off — and ask the right questions — to truly appreciate the seldom-trafficked treasures. The Chester A. Arthur Historic Site Oh, how the mighty have fallen! The 21st president’s official state historic site is a monument to obscurity, proof that even a U.S. president can be forgotten. Every American ought to pay a visit, if only to put in perspective the currently inflated powers of the office.

Yes, Chester Alan Arthur, known to locals as “Chet,” was — probably — born in the Green Mountain State, making him the first Vermonter to hold the country’s highest office. Arthur won the vice presidency in 1880, and got a promotion when
between Fairfield and Enosberg Falls, miles from the centers of both. Site administrator Shirley Paradee says it’s best not to visit during mud season. Paradee, guardian of all things Arthur for the past 13 years, is miffed that he’s been neglected. “I’m a little jealous of Calvin Coolidge,” she says. “He gets a lot of things at the museum in Plymouth, and we don’t get much up here. We don’t even have a public restroom.” The dearth of interest might stem from the fact that the details of Arthur’s life in Vermont are fuzzy, even contradictory. The site was once billed as Arthur’s actual birthplace; a massive granite marker erected in 1903 boldly states that he was born on this very spot. But that’s not true. A newer, greenand-gold sign by the side of the road says only that he was born in Fairfield, and lived in a cabin at the site when he was a year old. He never lived in the building now frequented by visitors; it’s a replica, built in 1953. Actually, no one knows for sure where Arthur was born. An exhibit in the cabin reports that, during his lifetime, some suggested his mother gave birth in Québec, which would have made him unfit for the presidency. Arthur might have solved the mystery had he allowed his papers to be studied after his death in 1886; instead, he had them destroyed. Old Chet didn’t leave much of a legacy. He created the Civil Service. But when asked to name another of his accomplishments, Paradee has to think a moment. “He was the first president that allowed the military bands to play in public,” she says. “He thought everyone should enjoy them. Or so I’ve heard.” The Spider Web Farm A creepy, ramshackle house slumps at the base of Spider Web Farm Road in Williamstown, but don’t let it scare you away — the “original web site” is actually farther up the road, and far less frighten-
I’m a little jealous of Calvin Coolidge. He gets a lot of things at the museum in Plymouth, and we don’t get much up here. We don’t even have a public restroom. SHIRLEY PARADEE, CHESTER A. ARTHUR HISTORIC SITE
James Garfield was assassinated in 1881. He served until 1885. Still, Vermonters are more likely to name Calvin Coolidge as the Green Mountain president. Even the tiny cabin museum at Arthur’s former Fairfield homestead acknowledges that fact; visitors are greeted by a nearly life-size photo of the distinguished, mutton-chopped man with the accompanying label, “Vermont’s other president.” Just finding the cabin is tricky. It’s situated on an apparently nameless dirt road
ing. Unless you’re afraid of spiders. Terry Knight, who runs the family farm with her copiously tattooed 79-yearold husband, Will, remembers a motorcycle club that rode up for a visit from Massachusetts a few years back. One of the women was a little freaked out. “She would not get off the motorcycle,” recalls Knight, who works for the state tax department when she’s not tending to her sticky, icky crop. The Knights moved to Vermont from Brooklyn 35 years ago; they started col-

lecting spider webs and turning them into art in 1977, shortly after their arrival. Their set-up is simple: Each spring, they pluck a few egg sacs from their front porch and put the baby “spiderlings” into empty plastic cottage-cheese containers in one of their two spider sheds. Inside the sheds, they hang several rows of empty wooden frames, each of which contains 21 rectangular openings. They place the baby barn spiders on a shelf above the frames. As the spiders mature, they climb down into holes to spin webs. Once the spiders are established, the Knights mist the sheds with white spray paint. They identify the best webs,

show, and Boston Globe and in The New York Times. Despite their fame, though, they’ve kept their operation rough around the edges and real. That’s what Terry Knight says she likes most about the webs — their imperfections. The rips and tears are what make them valuable. “They just show a day in the life of a spider,� she says. Porter Music Box Museum The Porter Music Box Museum looks less like a museum than a funeral parlor. The granite slab of a sign out front could be a tombstone. The drawn blinds, plush burgundy carpet and heavy velvet ropes hanging from brass posts imbue the interior with a hushed solemnity. It helps that many of the objects scattered around the room are old, such as a musical Victorianera shadowbox of the British Royal Family. But when tour guide Eileen Paul pops open one of Dwight Porter’s enormous, handcranked music boxes, the image shatters. The sound that bursts from these booming, treasurechest-sized boxes is archaic but innovative, mechanical but undeniably full and rich. Even when it plays Celine Dion. The Randolph retailer is the only manufacturer of large-diskmodel music boxes in the whole country — the disks are 15 1/2 inches in diameter. Porter, a native Vermonter, was 8 when saw his first music box at the Shelburne Museum. He began making them in the 1970s, and opened his shop in 1974. Today, Porter sells his machines — still made in Vermont, but often contained in inlaid Italian cabinets — for tens of thousands of dollars. A single copper-plated steel disk with a 59second arrangement of a popular song can cost $60. The tour guide says the museum is a popular stop for senior bus tours. The old ladies love it when Paul opens the triple-disk box that plays “In the

museum he founded in 1987, after retiring from General Electric. If you catch him while he’s not carving, he might even give you a tour. The first question you might ask is, Why carve wooden birds? It is, after all, an unusual pastime. Spear, who also founded the Vermont chapter of the National Audubon Society, says he wants to inspire people to learn about and love birds. And
attraction on this dirt road half an hour from Burlington; the power of vision, persistence and one man’s single-minded mania are also on display. White-bearded bird-lover Bob Spear carved all but a handful of the models in this unique collection, starting with a toocute pair of parakeets he made when he was 18. Now 85, Spear spends most days working at the
he points out that for educational purposes, wooden animals beat stuffed specimens. “You can make them much more realistic,� he says, noting that the colors are less likely to fade, and the handcrafted critters are easier to pose. He points to a bright orange Baltimore oriole that’s sticking out its tongue. “You couldn’t do that with taxidermy.� Spear doesn’t just whittle the wood — he uses a variety of electric saws to cut and shape it, then paints it, and uses a small tool to burn each individual feather or line. It takes hours to complete even a small specimen — Spear estimates that he spent 500 on the 80pound California condor in the endangered and extinct room. Spear’s birds may be a bit dusty, but they’re surprisingly compelling. They range from the exotic, green-tufted resplendent quetzel to an ordinary

olive-sided flycatcher. And his displays aren’t all bland and wholesome, either. A gyrfalcon frozen in attack posture before a defenseless duck, a hawk standing defiantly atop a wee chickadee, and a falcon poised above an unsuspecting chipmunk imply a subtle but shocking violence. Spear has written descriptions to accompany each display. They’re easy to overlook but worth reading, even after you’ve seen a few hundred of them. On one, near the predators, he’s included a lesson about the cruel calculus of survival. “We should not judge nature,” he writes. “It is the way things are . . . this is the facts of life.” Rokeby Museum The brochures that advertise the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh invite you to tour a stop on the Underground Railroad, but if you go there expecting to find a network of tunnels and secret rooms, you’re going to be disappointed. Ask to see the closets instead — the Robinsons, who owned the homestead, have some interesting skeletons. Thomas and Jemima Robinson, a Quaker couple from Newport, Rhode Island, bought the house and the land from the Dakin family in the 1790s. Their son, Rowland Thomas, and his wife Rachel were the abolitionists who refused to use any products made from slave labor. They reportedly housed ex-slaves on the run. But tour guide Jenel Wildermuth suggests that legend is overblown. She points out a cramped room on the second floor, where at least one man known as “Jesse” stayed after fleeing a Southern plantation. “Supposedly, when the slave catchers came, they pushed furniture in front of the door to this room,” she explains, adding that with three windows visible from outside, the room wasn’t easy to hide. “Maybe they weren’t really trying to catch him. Vermont is pretty far away from the plantation.” Perhaps the more interesting story is that the third generation of Robinsons at Rokeby turned out to be bigots. They weren’t thrilled about the guest in their home. And the museum displays an anti-Irish drawing by Rowland Evans Robinson, a celebrated author in his day. “And you should hear what he said about the French,” museum director Jane Williamson quips. There are more tragic stories: about fourth-generation Rachel Robinson, who studied art in New York and died of influenza during the 1919 epidemic; and of her brother, “Scowlie Rowlie,” who drove the farm into ruin. But it would be a shame to spill all the good dirt here. Just be sure to ask about the séances. And the ménage à trois. m

and bands that the local venues are pushing him to write about. If he has the space, he might pick a record from the bottom of the pile with which he can demonstrate his mastery of wit, showing he can dis a record with dry humor and pop culture references along with the best of this tired, ever abundant, style of rock criticism. Bands only send promo packs because they believe the opinion of people like Mr. Smetanka matters. My suggestion to local acts in the region is to forgo wasting your time with promo-packs and contact people like Jeremy Ayers at WRUV who hosts the show “Exposure.” If he likes your stuff he will give you the best promotion there is — a live show and interview on one of the best college radio stations in the nation. Another idea is to simply play shows at the smaller venues and get people excited about what you are doing. There is no better promotion than word of mouth. If people aren’t excited, you aren’t reaching your audience or you need to do something different. Don’t waste your energy trying to gain the attention of insipid rock critics — they usually are writing about music because they couldn’t hack it as a performer. This is usually the source of their jaded humor. Larry Dolan MORRISONVILLE, NY
FREE THE WATER As a concerned Burlington resident, I do not appreciate being referred to as a “fluorophobic” because I dare to question a 53-year-old program that allows a controversial chemical, fluoride, to be added to our water supply [“Letters,” May 25]. I may not be a dental hygienist or a medical doctor, but I am smart enough to know when I’m being used as a guinea pig. The Vermont Dental Hygienists’ Association and the Vermont Department of Health may say this program is safe; but the problem is, they are promoting a program that medicates people without their consent. I am against water fluoridation because I feel the chemical fluoride is questionable, and because my right to choose has been robbed in the name of preventing tooth decay, which the program may not even be preventing. I can’t help but agree with Bennington and Brattleboro, whose residents voted against water fluoridation. It’s time the residents of Burlington took back their right to choose and ended this mass medication. There are far better ways to prevent tooth decay without violating peoples’ rights and exposing them to controversial chemicals. Owen Mulligan BURLINGTON

a “surprisingly large triangle of nothingness that extends about six feet in front of [them.]� Hence “when a horse leaves the ground . . . he is actually jumping a memory.� Will he navigate his “blind flight� correctly, or will he balk or fall short, subjecting his rider to a Christopher Reevestyle disaster? Taking us inside the animal’s head, Husher makes the case that what looks like a simple, exuberant leap is anything but. Another way in which Husher holds the reader’s interest is by giving her book a slippery, elusive format, halfway between essay and memoir. Some of her chapters begin with aphoristic generalities that lead into increasingly focused meditations — “The idea that riding is for rich folks is both true and untrue,� for instance, or “When we tell our stories about horses, they answer by telling us the truth, which can make for an unsettling transaction.� To back up these cryptic statements, Husher takes us on a breathless tour of horse history and lore, includ-
experiences with equines. But this is no “objective,� from-the-outside-in view of horse culture. Husher is a passionate, nearly lifelong rider, and she writes with the love of technical subtleties and lingo that separates the truly obsessed from the dabblers. In a discussion of what it’s like to watch show-jumping competitions, Husher confesses, “I have exasperated more than one companion by my perfect readiness to spend hours on end doing nothing else.� Yet, even while employing terminology that means nothing to the non-horsey reader — “steady twos,� “easy threes,� “in and outs� — Husher somehow manages to convey just what’s so “infinitely interesting� about watching dozens of horses jump the same fence. Horses, she explains, are far-sighted, with
ing affectionate yet skeptical discussions of the classic stories that make little girls beg for ponies: Black Beauty and National Velvet. (Like much good children’s literature, both turn out to be odder and deeper than we remember.) Something about horses, Husher believes, makes people want to tell stories, particularly fantasies about servitude, oppression and redemption by the “right� rider. What do the horses themselves think of all this? Husher doesn’t presume to know, but she does use her personal experience with the animals as a foil and a realitycheck for our cultural mythologies. The book contains two parallel stories. One concerns Husher’s return to riding in her fifties and how she gradually becomes a better rider of several horses at East Hill Farm, including the “cockeyed and ebullient� Prince of the title. The other story, closer to a conventional horse narrative, tells us how the >> 30A

young Husher took her foster sister’s jumpy pinto mare, Gem, and transformed her into a confident show horse named Bones. Husher uses this narrative to show us what the tales of equine redemption ignore — namely, the vagaries and misunderstandings in the interaction between a horse and even her most well-meaning rider. Horse stories, with their abusers and saviors, merely obscure the unpleasant fact that “All riders, however accomplished they may be right now, have behaved badly toward some horse at some time in the past.” Despite the ribbons she won with Bones, Husher describes herself as a “tentative” rider. When it comes to stringing words together, though, she’s firmly in the saddle. While Husher’s style is conversational, it’s acerbic and never rambling, and she can turn a mean metaphor. Riding Prince, for instance, the author feels “reminded . . . of a bumper car, with its yawing, mushy, and approximate steering, but his
tiny strides also felt dry and strangely inanimate, as if I were mounted on a manic and perhaps defective sewing machine.” While some readers may find these descriptions almost too precise, i.e., overwritten, part of the fun of Conversations with a Prince comes from trying to imagine how such a ride would actually feel. Husher’s preferred metaphor for riding in general is “conversation — with its flow of ideas, objections, proposals, counterproposals, rebellions, limits, reactions, and treaties.” She’s not an anthropomorphist who thinks that horses want to chat silently with us about the weather and increasing their ration of hay. Rather, she believes that good riding is based on being open to the signals your partner is sending and a willingness to “calibrate other creatures as individuals.” Here the book expands beyond the radius of Husher’s “obsessive” pursuit — that’s fine advice for dealing not just with horses but with human beings. 쩾

FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH A PRINCE: This gap between horse and rider is sometimes full of misunderstanding, but it can be crossed with the right kind of conversation. Gem was proof of that. After my encounter with her in the pasture, which I repeated over a few days with some minor variations, Gem began to get actively involved in what we were doing. On the face of it, it did not seem like we were doing very much — I would go out, fool with her halter, change my shape, catch her, release her, proclaim her goodness, and then go away again — but she soon began walking toward me across the grass, cautious but alert, invested in the next installment of this interesting game. I was happy because I was getting something I really wanted, since we now began each encounter on a good note; I saw that she was happy, or at least engaged, by a string of encounters that were painless and new. It seemed to me an arrangement worth preserving, and for a couple of weeks I cut back on riding her while we spent a lot of time just messing around together in the pasture. I began putting her on a longe line (this is pronounced lunge, and is just a French way of saying “long”) and asking her to wobble around at the end of it. I had seen other people longe their horses, and it didn’t look all that hard. The longer stood more or less in one place; the longee went around in a circle. Gem seemed to know something about it, which was a relief, since it gave me less explaining to do, and I quickly learned a great deal about her because I could actually see her, something that is impossible to do on board. I knew from riding her that Gem had a flexible, almost slinky quality — she moved more like a huge beagle than with the clockwork cadence of a regular horse — but that this rubbery lightness was fragile and could be interrupted by attacks of the herky-jerkies that, particularly when I longed her, always seemed to happen whenever my own attention began to wander. […] It took me a while, but I figured out that if I wanted her to be good, or at least not disruptive, I had to pay real attention to her and actively hold her in my gaze.

What could be worse than declaring something cutting-edge, only to find out it’s so last year? Maybe redefining yourself each time the style police change their minds. These dangers became increasingly apparent as we waded into this, our first-ever “Hot Stuff” issue. We didn’t want to get it wrong, or suggest there was something wrong with ignoring our advice. On the other hand, everyone could use some new ideas for things to do and drink and wear. Take these tips, then, as just that: not a comprehensive must-do list, but a dozen-plus suggestions well worth checking out.
crazies might want to pick up on Sudoku, the addictive time-waster that’s hot in Japan and going global fast. A nine-by-nine-square grid is divided into three-by-three sub-grids. The object is to fill each cell so that each row, column and three-by-three box contains one of each number from 1 through 9. It’s all about logical elimination. How many squares come filled in on the published puzzles determines the level of difficulty. Get started at http://websudoku.com/ — and make procrastination cerebral. RUTH HOROWITZ

ing a crime, and that’s probably a good thing, because flowers and veggies are increasingly coming out from behind houses and replacing the front-yard, monoculture grass. “Once one house does it, it’s easier for someone else on the same street to give it a try, and visible gardens build communities,” says Jim Flint, Director of Friends of Burlington Gardens. On Poplar Street and throughout the Old North End, small cottage gardens spill over with colorful pinks, irises, roses, daylilies, marigolds and more. The extra time and H2O it takes to keep lawns lush can be a real drain, so some green thumbs forego turf entirely, with mulch or rock gardens weeding out the need for watering, whacking and mowing. More adventurous types make meadows, with wildflowers and native grasses that create habitat for songbird-sustaining bugs and pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Get in on it while you can.

up against the wall If summer is all about slowing down, one of the best ways to chill is to look at art — in air-conditioned galleries. Hey, even skaters, bladers and sailors need to get out of the sun — or rain — sometimes. And why not get in a little culture while you’re at it? One inviting place (pictured here) is right on Burlington’s Waterfront: the brand-new Pursuit Gallery, on the southern tip of the Wing Building. The current exhibit, featur-

ing gigantic photographs by Skye Chalmers, presents quintessential Vermont writ large, in all its seasons; the rich colors alone invite gawking awhile. Pursuit is one of three venues to recently join an already thriving Burlington arts scene. But the Queen City isn’t sovereign over all the galleries, by any means. A few other recommendations: The stunning stone works at Stowe’s West Branch Gallery; political papier mâché at Glover’s Bread and Puppet Museum; the calm, cool collections at Middlebury College; eclectic works by emerging artists at nearly any coffeehouse. And of course, if you hit exhibit openings, free snacks and drinks are part of the picture. PAMELA POLSTON

Longing for the days when commercial radio was local, or at least interesting? Try going online and downloading a few podcasts to your iPod, laptop or MP3 player. These audio files contain all manner of talk and music. You can even find religion — the Panton Community Baptist Church now offers podcasts of their Sunday services. Thanks to RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, you can subscribe to your favorites — like Burlington’s Friday Coffeeblogging, featured recently in BusinessWeek magazine — and get the latest episodes in your inbox, à la TiVo. If you don’t already use RSS, or you haven’t hopped on the blog bandwagon quite yet, you’ll have a little catching up to do before you’re podcast-compatible. Podcast Alley — http://www.podcastalley.com — is a good place to start. Technophobes, take heart — listening to and recording these DIY productions will only get easier. CATHY RESMER

Dining at Dad’s
y father’s favorite word these days is tofu. “I made a little stir fry tonight,” Dad will tell me when I call home. Not much happens in the small upstate town where he and my mom live, and so dinner is often STORY headline news. I’ll hear him swivel round JOHN and put his feet up on the couch to savor FREEMAN the delivery. “A little bit of garlic, some olive oil, onions. Some red peppers, and ginger. That’s the important part.” There’s always a little pride in my father’s voice as he rattles off these ingredients. Ten years ago, he wouldn’t have known where to find them in a grocery store, let alone know what to do with them in the kitchen. When I was growing up in California, my mother cooked, my father cleaned up. That was the bargain. On nights when my mother went to League of Women Voters meetings, we ate waffles for dinner. When mom found out, we graduated to tuna melts. Then my mother went back to work, and things changed. For starters, my father began making our lunches. Suddenly, we started getting a lot of vegetables. Every food group was represented, as if my father had built the lunches by studying the Surgeon General’s food pyramid: apples; whole grain crackers; sandwiches on whole wheat bread. (If you ever want to ruin a peanut butter & jelly sandwich, put it on wheat). Everything was wrapped in wax paper and stuffed into recycled brown paper bags with our names written in block letters: ANDY, JOHN and TIM. Needless to say, I spent most of my high school years coveting my friends’ lunches — their Doublestuff Oreos plopped into ziplocks, their “lunchables” with cheese and deli meats and that little stick that came in the packaging. A crosscountry teammate of mine was put on a 6000 calorie-a-day diet by his doctor, so often times I sat with Geoff at noon while he began his second lunch of the day. My father’s experiments in cuisine would have ended there, had my mother not been diagnosed with Parkinson’s seven years ago. What began as an irritating habit of not finishing her sentences graduated into a terrifying inability to find words. My birthday cards were written in shaky handwriting. Then not by her at all. Then things got worse. Doctors informed my parents that it wasn’t
Parkinson’s, but something rarer and more unpredictable called CBDG, which is short for cortico-basal-ganglionic degeneration. It’s like fast-track Parkinson’s with a little Alzheimer’s thrown in for good measure. Which means my father doesn’t just do the cooking these days — and the washing and the mowing and the weeding and the bill-paying, and everything else that keeps their house almost running. He also feeds my mother. When I go home, I try not to cry as I watch him do this, but it’s hard. My mother is a slow eater, whereas Dad would use a slingshot to get his dinner down if he could. This imbalance actually works in their favor, as my father often gives my mother a bite of whatever he has made, Hoovers up his dinner, and then turns around to feed her the rest of what’s on her plate. Even though she has a lot of trouble speaking, my mother still has strong opinions about my father’s cooking. She frowns when he mentions black beans. She giggles when he points at three-bean salad recipes. In the beginning, he made a lot of bean dishes — but he liked to soak beans rather than buy canned ones. Let me just say the word Bean-o and leave it at that. There were other not-so-successful experiments, too. There was a tofu-turkey one year that didn’t even fool our cocker spaniel; polenta which could have doubled as a baseball bat. But as the years ground on and my mom’s condition worsened, Dad worked his way methodically page-by-page through Deborah Madison’s Greens cookbook, and got better. And better. Now when I come home, it’s not just cable television and Christmas waffles I have to look forward to. There’s sure to be goat-cheese pizza with roasted red peppers. There might be a succulent, slowroasted turkey with candied yams, finished off by pumpkin pie with ice cream and organic coffee. On Christmas Eve I no longer have to shimmy oyster stew down my throat — or meatloaf for that matter. The kitchen looks like a war zone when it’s over, and the All-Clad pots I bought have long since been scorched. But really, what does that matter? From here on out, I think Dad and I both know he’s earned a little help with the clean-up. 쩾

U STORY
CASEY REA Sleater-Kinney with Dead Meadow, Higher Ground Ballroom, S. Burlington, Tuesday, June 21, 9 p.m.
ntil fairly recently, punk rock was classic rock’s mortal enemy. Punk’s do-it-yourself ethos seemed utterly incompatible with the excesses of classic rock’s chief architects, such as Led Zeppelin and The Who. For decades, those acts were called “dinosaurs,” endlessly ridiculed by the safety-pin-and-spikes set. But like many revolutions, the movement invariably became what it set out to destroy. Much of what passes for punk these days seems manufactured, an excuse to sell T-shirts to suburban mallrats. Well, it’s time to repair some bridges. Sleater-Kinney — an all female trio from Olympia, Washington — combine punk’s uncompromising edge with the sonic
before their latest release, The Woods. The new disc is already racking up accolades. Produced by Dave Fridmann, who has worked with art-rock superstars The Flaming Lips, The Woods features the most adventurous songs of SleaterKinney’s career. A molten surge of blazing guitars and pummeling percussion, the album sounds as if it was recorded with all the meters in the red. Weiss’ drumming recalls the work of rock’s greatest percussionists; driving and dynamic, her powerful rhythms help anchor the band’s spiky guitar work. Weiss — who at 40 is the trio’s oldest member — may hold the backline, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have plenty
The band have matured from learn-as-you-go “riot grrls” to a true musical powerhouse, closing the gap between vitriol and virtuosity.

vocabulary of rock. In their decade of playing together, the band have matured from learn-as-you-go “riot grrls” to a true musical powerhouse, closing the gap between vitriol and virtuosity. They bring their intricate, passionate tunes to the Higher Ground Ballroom this week. Taking their name from the street where they used to rehearse, Sleater-Kinney exploded onto the male-dominated music scene with their 1995 self-titled debut. The band’s two-guitar assault (that’s right, no bass) and provocative, politically-minded lyrics were a welcome antidote to the midtempo wallowing of grunge. Singer/guitarists Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein’s interlocking melodies and no-bullshit attitude are augmented by the thunderous drum work of Janet Weiss, who joined in 1997. Weiss’ commanding presence on the skins gave the band a more solid foundation to build upon. And build they did: Their last album, 2002’s One Beat, was hailed by critics as one of the greatest records since The Clash’s Combat Rock. That was
to say. Seven Days recently spoke to her from the road about what it’s like to be in one of punk and rock’s hottest bands. SEVEN DAYS: It seems like everywhere I look, there’s a Sleater-Kinney article or interview. Are you burned out on talking to rock journalists yet? JANET WEISS: [Laughs.] Well, I’d rather be playing the record than talking about it! But that’s always the case. SD: A lot of critics are calling the new album a radical departure, but it still sounds punk to me. Why do people think guitar fills and drum solos are the exclusive property of classic rock? JW: I think that rock journalism is rooted in clichés, and that might have something to do with it. I’m sure anybody who has read a lot of articles has noticed that. Much of rock music is about perpetuating an image. We as a band have never really fit any one image or category. We’ve drawn from many sources from the begin>> 43A

ning, and I think that’s still the case. Hopefully, something unique has been created. Listen to Sex Pistols records — there are plenty of guitar solos on them. SD: Dave Fridmann produced The Woods. He’s known for getting some pretty gnarly drum sounds. Did you have to adapt your playing style to his methods? JW: Not at all — I was dying to have my drums sound like that! I was particularly excited to work with Dave. He uses the drums as another palette, as a way to alter the sound and increase dynamics. I try to do that with my playing, but to have someone doing it sonically as well was really exciting. SD: I hear a lot of [Hendrix drummer] Mitch Mitchell and [Led Zeppelin drummer] John Bonham-style stuff on the new disc. Were they heroes of yours? JW: Yeah! I think those were actually my two earliest influences, Mitch Mitchell especially. He was someone who, for whatever reason, I just related to right off the bat. It’s just a mysterious kind of thing, why you like certain musicians or bands and you absolutely cannot stand others. It’s in your DNA makeup, or something. Since I was a little kid, Zeppelin was my favorite band, and Bonham is probably my most loved drummer these days. But people seem almost offended by a drummer that’s expressive. Even Dave Fridmann. He’s like, “You never play the same thing twice!� And I’m like, “What are you talking about? I play the same thing — I just put some fills in there!� SD: Sleater-Kinney have a reputation as a politically charged band. Yet there’s always a strong personal dimension to the lyrics. Can the personal be political and vice-versa? JW: I think that’s pretty much the truth of it. Politics, for the three of us, has a wide definition. Out of the respect we have for each other, we allow it to be fluid. Everything on the records is extremely personal, especially this one. The new album is very raw and it cuts deep for us, as far as the playing goes. The lyrics have to match that, and be able to carry the weight of the music. But to me, what you do creates the political aspect of your art — it doesn’t always have to be explicit. Making a record that’s really loud and abrasive at a time when people would love it if you just shut your mouth, to me, says something. SD: You were on tour with Pearl Jam at the onset of the current Iraq War. What was it like playing in front of such a huge audience at such a divisive time in America? JW: It was an unusual situation for us. Our audience, for the most part, shares our political
ideas. Pearl Jam’s audience doesn’t necessarily share the ideas of the band. You’ve got 25,000 people, and half of them really support George W. Bush and don’t want Eddie Vedder to speak out. That created a great amount of solidarity between the bands, and I think we also learned from Eddie Vedder about how to talk to your audience when they don’t agree with you. He’d find these sensitive ways to talk about things without getting all irritated. SD: He’s had a lot of practice. JW: Yeah. The first night we were out, Corin said something about the war, and we got booed. We were like, “Oh no — we’re gonna get fired!� After that, we decided that we should let Pearl Jam handle the political talk, and we would speak through the music. SD: The Pacific Northwest has a reputation for being laidback and lefty, not unlike Vermont. How does SleaterKinney go over in more traditionally conservative states? JW: I don’t think the South has warmed up to us too much yet. Except for Texas, which is pretty much a departure in general. I think we might still be looked at as a girl band or whatever. But at the same time, it’s great to not always be preaching to the converted. It challenges you to really look at what you believe in. You can’t just assume that what you believe in is right. SD: The group has been together for a decade. Most romantic relationships don’t last that long. How do you keep it together? JW: At this point, the relationship is really just a great friendship. And certain friendships can last a lifetime. This one has taken some work — lots and lots of communicating and even more respect. We try. I think a lot of bands just give up, but we try to be together. But at this point, the personal issues have all been worked out. We’re not gonna break up for all the stupid reasons that bands do within the first couple of years. SD: Sometimes I feel bad for kids growing up with the cookie-cutter version of punk rock. How do you reach these people? JW: Well, we really don’t. It’s a very commercial atmosphere right now; the underground is shrinking. But listening to the radio has never been all that inspiring, anyway. When there’s not as much chance of commercial success, when you know you won’t be heard on the radio, you don’t even think about it. SD: What happens if the band stays together another 10 years and you’re inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Are you gonna show up? JW: [Laughs.] I don’t know. But I’m definitely not going to worry about that right now. m

RAW POWER :: Pilot to Gunner have been around. And around. And around. Unrelenting road dogs, the group has crisscrossed the States eight times in four years. Although they hail from the Big Apple — the city that gave the world The Strokes and Interpol — these guys are hardly glamour boys. With rugged anthems that eat hipsters alive, PTG are all about the rock. Hear them Wednesday, June 15, at Club Metronome with alt-rockers Planeslide and local faves Rock ’n’ Roll Sherpa.

BY CASEY REA THE PERCEPTIONISTS
COLIN CLARY ALERT! It’s been at least a couple of weeks since I’ve mentioned indie popster Colin Clary in this space. It seems if you turn your back on the guy for a minute, he’s got a dozen more projects. The following are just a few. Colin was in Chelsea with his band The Smittens not long ago, filming a “green prom” for a John O’Brien film project. While I’m not sure what a green prom is, he claims it may have been “the first ever.” Perhaps the film’s working title, The Green Movie, has something to do with it. According to Clary, everybody involved had a blast. “The kids and crew really dug the evening and danced like crazy,” he says. “We’ll have to wait until next year to see what makes the film, but we were a hit at the prom, that’s for sure!” The Smittens recently wrapped up recording for their sophomore album and are hoping for an August release. I’d tell you the name of it, but they’ll probably change it again. Clary has another solo tune available on an online comp. It’s called “Loneliest on Weekends.” The website that hosts it has a really long URL, so I’ll post the link on my new Seven Days blog, called “Solid State.” If you haven’t been there yet, hop to it: http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate. OK — back to Mr. Clary. His long-awaited new solo disc is out, and he sounds pretty pleased about it. “It’s got 15 songs and comes in some of Asaurus Records’ signature packaging — it’s made to look like a little sweater!” Clary says. Appropriately titled Sweater Weather or Not, These Are the Songs I Got, the disc is available at http://www.asaurus.org. Colin’s other band, The Magogs, were invited to play Montréal’s Dutch Fest in August, but unfortunately the date conflicts with The Smittens’ next big tour. Too bad cloning isn’t legal, eh, guys? The Magogs will still get their festival kicks, though. They’re slated to play the Northhampton, MA, Popfest! in September. I probably won’t get another update for a little while — Clary is headed out on a decidedly unglamorous tour this week. “I’m playing some of the coolest basements and living rooms on the East Coast,” he says. Hope he remembers to pack a sleeping bag.
BIG HEAVY DEAL MINDFUL MUSIC This year’s Northeast Kingdom Music Festival promises to be the biggest in its three-year history. Featuring a bevy of politically conscious and highly danceable musical acts, the event — which takes place at the Chilly Ranch on August 5 & 6 — is all about good tunes and community. “This year’s headline acts speak directly against the current suppression of expression and civil liberties creeping into our country’s policies,” says promoter Ed DuFresne. Judging from the lineup, I’d say he’s right. Here’s a rundown of some of the bands scheduled to play. St. Croix-based reggae sensations Midnite are quickly becoming known as one of the most potent roots-reggae acts working today. They’ll deliver uplifting vibes for several hours in their only U.S. appearance this summer. Mr. Lif, Akrobatik and DJ Facts One make up The Perceptionists, one of the hottest hip-hop groups around. Their razorsharp, politically aware lyrics honor rap tradition while pushing the limits of wordplay and rhythm. Spoken-word poet Saul Williams is a powerful presence in literary and music circles. He’s leading the charge for a whole new generation of writer/performers. Williams will treat concertgoers to both spoken-word and musical sets. Also scheduled to appear are Afro-fusion group Toubab Krewe, Vermont’s “MediterAsian” movers The 35th Parallel Jazz Ensemble, Brazilian percussionists Scott Ketner’s The Nation Beat and more to be announced. In addition to the music, the festival boasts close-up camping, a morning yoga class, poetry slam, bonfire and 100 percent pure, deep well water to quench your thirst. And if fire dancing, puppet shows, an activist tent and late-night indie films aren’t enough for you, NEKMF promises effigy burning as well. I wonder if it’s BYOE . . . you know, Bring Your Own Effigy? Check out http://www.nekmf.com for more info.
Last week, I told you about hip-hop “heavy” Fattie B.’s recent partnership with Montpelier-based label/distribution company Halogen Records. Well, Halogen CEO Justin Hoy recently announced another addition to their roster: Burlington-based music compilers Big Heavy World. Big Heavy are no strangers to the record biz; they’ve been putting out local compilations since 1996, including several benefits for humanitarian organizations such as the Women’s Rape Crisis Center and Spectrum Youth & Family Services. BHW founder Jim Lockridge is pumped to work with the Montpelier-based Halogen, which has national distribution through Sony/Red. “We see great things happening for Big Heavy releases and the artists involved with our CD projects,” Lockridge enthuses. “Justin Hoy is industry-savvy and dialed into the Big Heavy community-supportive worldview. This represents a milestone for the record-label aspect of our organization.” When I spoke with Hoy a few months back, he told me he was hoping to get more involved with the local scene, as most of the Halogen artists were based out of state. A Big Heavy alliance seems like a great way to do just that. But the partnership isn’t all business. “On a personal level, Jim Lockridge is a really great guy,” Hoy says. “We share a lot of the same ideas and visions for Vermont’s independent music.” BHW and Halogen already have a couple of new releases on deck, including a Vermont folk compilation. Check out http://www.BigHeavyWorld.com and http://HalogenRecords.com for more info.

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS :: Brooklyn-based The Mugs play ethereal pop loaded with melodic jangle. Like a blissed-out cross between early Radiohead and American indie-rockers Neutral Milk Hotel, the band’s laid-back hooks and finely woven instrumentation are charming. Already movers on the New York City club circuit, these up-and-comers are now looking to break out of the Big Apple. Hear them with local space cadets The Cush and math-rockers Akrasia this Saturday at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. 1x6-parima061505

AQUADORA, ON
ELIZA BLUE, ONE YEAR
(Self-released, CD)
(Lucky Micah Records, CD)
Certain musical artists are gifted enough to produce all aspects of an album — from writing and singing their own lyrics to playing all the necessary instruments. Trent Reznor kicked off his career in this fashion, and has since become one of the most recognizable names in modern rock. While Reznor had a fully developed musical vision, however, all Aquadora offer is a series of unintelligible lyrics in an annoying falsetto, set to half-baked riffs and drumbeats. Aquadora boasts one solitary member named Jonny. Although his latest EP, On, has a brief runtime, it nonetheless showcases his shortcomings as a musician and vocalist. Jonny’s range is likewise truncated; he constantly reaches for notes beyond his reach. Opening track “Colors” makes a poor first impression. An amateur attempt at a ballad, it’s stuffed to the brim with pseudo-philosophy and cheeseball spirituality. Aquadora’s ode to an unidentified, sought-after person is the kind of thing you expect to hear strummed next to a campfire. The rhythm is epileptic, the refrains tone-deaf and the overall energy lagging. The album’s sonic qualities are similarly deficient. Besides sounding like it was recorded in a basement, Aquadora’s haphazard lyrics are upstaged by gratuitous distortion. This production choice obscures Jonny’s underdeveloped plucking. Aquadora’s musical journey concludes with a schmaltzy lullaby, which continues to explore Jonny’s sensitive side. Lines such as “reach out your arms and run to the ocean” and “you taste like forever,” would have been better left in his notebook. One thing’s for sure — the tune seems to go on forever. Listening to On, I quickly became annoyed with this one-man circus and its five shades of Jonny. Sophomoric lyrics, uninspired musical passages and iffy recording quality make for an unsatisfying record. Aquadora will perform with Mickey Western and Exit Clov at Club Metronome on June 22.

St. Paul, Minnesota-based Eliza Blue craft acoustic ballads filled with sorrowful sentiment and minor-key inflections. Their debut release, One Year, features the rich voice of Elizabeth Bonacci, who instills each tune with powerful, if somewhat cheerless, melodies. The band’s music is lush and sorrowful; each song wallows in exquisite misery. While the overall sound is lovely, there’s little variation from track to track. If you’re in the mood to mope, this is not entirely a bad thing. Bonacci and her husband Paul Miksic form the group’s core. In addition to singing, Bonacci handles fiddle and guitar, while Miksic takes turns on banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass. The duo’s novelist pal Karen Olson Edwards occasionally collaborates, providing hushed vocal harmonies and light percussion. Opening track “Brother Cain” sets the record’s mournful tone, with Bonacci’s aching voice framed by sparse tambourine, fiddle and six-string. The following track, “Turnstile,” affects a similar vibe; a fingerpicked guitar figure cycles quietly as Bonacci sings her tale of romantic woe. Strummed acoustics and subdued bass provide the background for “Sally,” another dispirited love song. Bonacci’s bluesy phrasing lends sultry desperation to the cut, one of the record’s mellowest. The banjo work on “Little Bird” is more Appalachian lullaby than European dirge. But it’s hardly bluegrass — like most of the other tunes, the track favors patient restraint over instrumental muscle flexing. Fans of Nick Drake will find much to enjoy here; Eliza Blue’s downcast temperament has plenty in common with the tragic folkie. Several cuts would sound perfectly natural on a mix tape alongside Drake’s most heart-wrenching numbers. A few variations in tempo or instrumentation would go a long way, however. Over the course of the record, it becomes somewhat difficult to tell the songs apart. Still, the band knows a thing or two about maintaining a mood. It’s just not a particularly jaunty one. One Year is a solid effort from a young group that will probably get better with age. They’re currently on their first tour; maybe the road will put some extra spring in their steps. Hear them at Radio Bean in Burlington on Friday, June 17.

RETURN TO THE ROOTS :: Back in the ’70s, downtown Burlington was bluegrass central. A new club called Nectar’s featured the hottest acoustic acts in the Green Mountains, including local heroes
Banjo Dan & the Mid-
nite Plowboys. When the scene began to fade in the ’80s, the boys took their tunes on the road, with far-flung gigs in Great Britain and the former Soviet Union. This Friday, they return to where it all began, playing Nectar’s for the first time in 25 years. A new generation of pickers, Waitsfield’s Mad Mountain Scramblers, warm up.

ARTWORK “Penguin’s Tale” by Elaine Parker
PHOTO Marc Awodey
n excellent show of paintings, sculpture and constructions graces the Artpath Gallery at Burlington’s Waterfront this summer. While the collections of all four exhibiting artists are interesting, one body of work is particularly cool — literally. “Landscapes of Antarctica,” by Elaine Parker, displays a unique ecological aesthetic. A mixed-media artist, she lived on Ross Island in Antarctica between 1998 and 2001. The other two-dimensional artist is Melanie Phelps, whose unusual acrylic landscapes look skyward. The two 3D artists are gallery founder Ellis Jacobson and construction artist Cynthia Ross. Ross is no relation to the Antarctic island Ross, and there is nothing cold about her elegant, geometric bamboo wall constructions and one watercolor. Her forms are based on the five classic Platonic solids, considered the geometric building blocks of life. Ross’ “Segments from Meditation Field” is a sprawling matrix of bamboo sticks, each of which is about 2 feet long. As the artist states, it was “originally assembled in three dimensions to create a meditation chamber in the dodecahedral volume.” Another piece suggests her interest in geometry is primarily spiritual. A watercolor, “Yantra, Evolution/Involution of the Cosmos,” has a red, six-sided star shape in the center and eight radiating geometric forms around it. Yantra come from the Hindu tantric tradition and are essentially tools for meditation. On a more earthly plane, Jacobson’s giant, cartoonish faces have received international acclaim. His four pieces in this show are all conjoined faces. The smallest is the rather sweet “Soul Mates” — a kissing Caucasian couple mounted a board. The largest is the 4-foot-wide “Wholly War” giant. Jacobson’s rendition of two male faces angrily butting heads is as formally sophisticated as it is emotionally charged. Melanie Phelps aptly calls her acrylics “cloudscapes.” “Blue to Orange,” however, isn’t actually cloudy. It’s a vibrant vertical canvas in which the sky’s hues are a bright orange near the horizon and a deep indigo at top. At upper right is a pale crescent. In a typical dawn the moon would
be in the west, while in a typical sunset it would be in the east, so perhaps the crescent shape is a solar eclipse? Regardless of astronomical correctness, Phelps’ brushwork is adroitly smooth, her hues nicely modulated. Phelps’ “Thirteen” features a group of 13 puffy clouds receding into space, again at the moment between between night and day. She is a strong landscapist of luminous skies hanging above tenebrous hills. In “Thirteen” the clouds and sky are pale green, vermilion and orange. Parker’s mixed-media paintings are created with a sparing use of paint and a utilitarian approach to drawing media — specifically pencil, pastel, conte crayon, ink and probably more. She seems to use whatever works. Her delicate lines reflect the fragility of the polar environment. Subtle texts in cursive appear on Parker’s series, “Emperor Penguins #1, #2, #3,” that explain and extol the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 and subsequent protocols. The naturalistic penguins on white backgrounds are grouped on 7-foot-long horizontal panels, definitely looking like sovereigns of the South Pole. An untitled 7-foottall triptych of panels has more obvious texts, including a penguin plea: “We beg you to do anything you must to protect us. Thanks.” Parker’s handwriting is unself-consciously calligraphic; the scale of her penguins is nearly life-sized. Other pieces by Parker are more “traditional landscapes,” if the term can be applied to a place where painting en plein air would be most uncomfortable. “Ski to Castle Rock” shows a cross-country ski course, laid out beside flags that recede toward a mountain. “Penguin’s Tale” has a human in the foreground shadowing a perfectly content emperor penguin, which seems to be strolling obliviously beneath a magnificent sky. The calm verticals of man and bird contrast with the swift diagonals of shadow and cloud. Penguins make particularly refreshing subject matter when most summer exhibits are bursting with flowers, boats, beaches and balloons. In fact, all four segments of this show are pretty cool. m

SHORTS
Mr. & Mrs. Smith H
J UNCIVIL UNION Home is where the heavy artillery is in Liman’s relentlessly lame comedy.
une 10, 2005, is a date that should go down in history. Movie history, at any rate. It represents a milestone of monumental cultural significance. On this date, filmmaking in America hit rock-bottom. A critical mass of mindlessness, poor taste, waste and celebrity indulgence was reached. In one motion picture, everything wrong with the motion-picture industry was summed up. There are lessons to be learned from Mr. & Mrs. Smith and, if the art form is to be salvaged, members of the filmmaking community will need to learn them and put them into practice fast. The first: A movie should be more than the sum of its celebrity parts. There isn’t a single reason for this picture to exist, other than to provide a context for the coupling of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This may be a perfectly valid reason for a tabloid magazine photo or a poster, perhaps. It is not a sane reason for making a movie. Even if Pitt and Jolie were performers with track records of immortal screen work — which they are not — their mere presence in a film should not constitute sufficient reason for making it, much less paying to see it. And yet, Mr. & Mrs. Smith offers nothing beyond the opportunity to gaze at these two buff and beautiful specimens. I quote from Roger Ebert’s review: “What matters is the ‘chemistry’ . . . the heat we sense, or think we sense, between two movie stars. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have it . . . and because they do, the movie works. If they did not, there’d be nothing to work with.” This is nonsense. Ebert’s once fine intellect evidently has been compromised by decades of exposure to ever-dumber Hollywood product, and today he displays judgment that’s often borderline addled. Ebert is either part of the solution or part of the problem, and a big part of the problem is, he’s been letting Hollywood get away with crap like this for years. When he writes, “There’d be nothing to work with,” Ebert is acknowledging the glaring reality that the film is a failure on every level other than marquee value, and yet he states, “The movie works.” Bit of a contradiction there. The movie does not work, and I don’t care whether Pitt and Jolie have the hots for one another. Anyone who does might want to think about getting a life. Lesson two: Filmmakers have got to forget about amusing 14-year-old boys and get back to the business of telling
actual stories. Mr. & Mrs. Smith is not based on a story. It’s based on an assumption: that young males in great numbers will shell out for the privilege of oogling a flesh-andblood Barbie Doll as she snaps necks, drives fast and fires automatic weapons in a succession of sexy outfits. This is a premise for a video game, not a motion picture. Oh, yes, the plot. As everyone on the planet knows by now, Pitt and Jolie play a married suburban couple, each of whom fails to realize the other is a professional assassin. The sizzle has gone out of their relationship. Luckily for the pair, a point arrives when they are instructed to kill one another. Much shooting, knife throwing, punching and kicking ensues. The big joke is that all the excitement reinvigorates the marriage. Naturally, it’s all just an excuse for a lot of over-the-top chases, fights and explosions, none of which are handled in a remotely fresh or clever fashion. The dialogue is relentlessly lame. Nothing makes the slightest sense. If not for the presence of Vince Vaughn, who specializes these days in bringing lackluster projects (Be Cool, for example) briefly to life, I suspect many audience members would be tempted to order hits on themselves. It’s a sorry spectacle that’s all the sorrier for being the work of Doug Liman — another promising talent (Swingers, Go) sucked into Hollywood’s black hole. Which brings us to the picture’s third and final lesson: Independent filmmakers have got to start growing backbones. They’ve got to stop using Sundance-level success as a steppingstone to selling out and making the same moronic, big-budget movies to which the indie movement is supposed to provide an alternative. You can count on one hand the filmmakers who’ve made their names with independent productions over the past 10 years and then not jumped at the first chance to become a high-paid studio hack. The movement that began as a challenge to mainstream moviemaking has allowed itself to be turned into its farm system — a league whose players hone their craft in the minors chiefly to earn the chance to get called up to the majors. Ironically, Liman has done the industry a favor. By providing such a clear example of what the movies are doing wrong, he’s helped point the way to getting them back on the right path. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Facts on Film rate, while the native Vermonter’s are meant to last. Rockwell first learned about Snow by reading his 2001 book, In the Company of Stone, which her husband had received as a birthday present. “I liked the way Dan’s mind works,” she says. “I enjoyed his writing even more than pictures of the walls. I wondered, ‘Who is this person?’” That question might also be asked about Rockwell, who got her first cinematic job in the early 1980s, when she began a 13-year association with Ken Burns. She went from business manager to co-producer, helping the now-famous New Hampshire filmmaker turn out epic historical projects for PBS such as The Civil War and Baseball. A mother of two grown sons, Rockwell moved to the Queen City in 1999. “I was doing film work for hire, but nothing from my own heart until Stone Rising,” she notes. “I’m really interested in the artistic process and in biography. I saw the arc of Dan’s life, as he becomes more and more playful in what he builds.” The documentary’s 7:30 p.m. Firehouse screening will be preceded by a 1 p.m. book signing by Snow at Borders, on the other end of the Church Street Marketplace. The 350 messianic Christians once collectively known as the Church at Island Pond are now part of the Twelve Tribes’ Communities. Some
STONE RISING
of them remain in the little Northeast Kingdom town; others are based in about 50 additional locations around the globe. They look like hippies living in an idyllic “Little House on the Prairie” universe, but outsiders have alleged that their old-fashioned approach to parenting is actually physical abuse. Jean Swantko’s 75-minute documentary, The Children of the Island Pond Raid: An Emerging Culture, chronicles a startling day in 1984: On June 22, state troopers wearing bulletproof vests seized 112 kids from their unarmed, Bible-believing families. A battery of social workers and psychologists waited at a nearby ski resort set up as a mass deprogramming center. But the late Judge Frank Mahady dismissed the charges, citing unconstitutionality and lack of evidence. Swantko, who sees the raid as part of a nationwide conspiracy “to dismantle non-mainstream religions,” was a St. Johnsbury public defender
involved in a separate church-related case at the time. She later joined the community. The film is unspooling, for free, 21 years to the day after the fact at the Rutland Public Library and the same Newport armory where the children were detained. It’s also slated for the Rockingham Free Library in Bellows Falls on July 5. All three shows begin at 7 p.m. Swantko employs archival photos and contemporary talking heads, including former officials, police and attorneys involved in the raid or its aftermath. Several of the youngsters in question, who then ranged from infants to teens, are now adults offering recollections or feelings about the pivotal event. “It’s significant that this took place in 1984,” Swantko says. “Now we really are living in a Brave New World, except that the buzzword is terrorism. What happened back then is a story that Vermonters should know.” m

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.
A three-foot-long cucumber is, well, CUMBERSOME. One’s stress quotient goes way up with a PRICKLY boss. Hardly identical, FARTHER and further are like fraternal twins. A hungry mountain lion doesn’t PUSSYFOOT around. Leon “Lucky” Lothario says BARFLIES make great dates. Teachers used to punish their students for TITTERING. SHITAKI mushrooms don’t belong in ice cream. Once I found a tiny little girlie in a COCKLE shell, I did. Camille PISSARRO was born in the Virgin Islands. Identity theft is now more prevalent than purse SNATCHING. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS MOUTH SOAP. 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.

S
erendipity played a major role in Stone Rising, a directorial debut by Camilla Rockwell that will screen at the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts on June 18. The Burlington resident’s 57-minute documentary profiles Dan Snow, a Dummerston craftsman who fashions sturdy stone walls much like those from earlier centuries that still dot the New England landscape. He uses the same medium to engineer more sculptural and whimsical creations, such as the peaked “Moorish tent” that sits in a splendid Newfane garden. Just as an unseen observer explains how Snow searched for the perfect pointed stone to top this improbable stone tent, a bird flies into frame and lands on that very spot. Movie magic. “Dan knows he’ll always find what he needs,” says Rockwell, 54. “I quickly realized that I couldn’t structure the film as planned. I had to trust I’d find what I needed. My original intent was to make a 20-minute piece watching him build something from beginning to end. I wound up shooting for 16 months, in all seasons, which I hadn’t expected.” Andy Goldsworthy, the subject of a popular 2001 doc called Rivers and Tides, would probably sense a kindred spirit in Dan Snow. The two men seem to have parallel obsessions, though the British environmental artist’s assemblages — often made only with twigs or leaves — deterio-

FRIDAY 17
GETTING RELIGION If you think Catholic girls have a bad rap, consider the stereotype Jewish ladies must live down if they should ever become mothers. Oy vey! Enter Nice Jewish Girls Gone Bad. In a refreshing mix of comedy, music, spoken word, and show-stopping burlesque, more than 10 post-bat mitzvah girls defy cultural expectations to make Seder sexy and gefiltefish gorgeous. Matched with original music from klezmer-rock band Golem, the show began last year at a New York City promo event for Heeb magazine (a.k.a. “The New Jew Review”). Since then, it’s toured nationwide, wowing crowds in Boston, Philly and Chicago with performers featured on Comedy Central, HBO and MTV. As their tagline states, this ain’t yo mama’s Fiddler.

SEVEN DAYS
<calendar > scene@”SLAP” SHOW GREAT NORTHERN STEREO, SOUTH BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 5-9 P.M. Walking across the lawn of Great Northern Stereo on Shelburne Road last Friday evening was sort of like taking the anticipatory stroll towards a concert venue, the beckoning rumble of bass growing louder with each step. Here, though, the low-octave growls weren’t coming from a band, but from competing cars showing off their stuff at a SLAP — Sound, Look and Performance — show. Although the L.A. scene portrayed in The Fast and the Furious was thousands of miles away, some of the entrants were just as impressive with their elaborate electronics and gas-injected, polished engine setups. The entire economic spectrum of decked-out and “souped up” cars sat on the lawn, polished, detailed and strategically positioned to attract the judges’ notice. Chevrolet, Mitsubishi, Dodge, Nissan, Audi and other name brands were all represented, some of them apparently unmodified and others pimped up with $5000 in-your-face paint jobs and resumes of car-part companies worn like badges. Not surprisingly, the American street scene’s favorite “rice rocket” — Honda — outnumbered the other entries. But the cars’ makes and how much Turtle Wax had been slathered on their fenders didn’t matter when the ‘Sound’ portion of the event came around. It was all about what’s on the inside. One might have expected a nicer looking car to play the day’s most shaking symphony of metal and subwoofers. But in this category, many of the eye-candies were overshadowed by normal-looking Jeeps and trucks — which likely made the most of their spacious interiors to reached dB levels up into the 140s. For those who don’t think in terms of dBs, that’s pretty damned loud. To push out that much volume, competitors showed their support by pushing down on the back of the contestant’s car. That’s where these Vermonters distinguished themselves from the territorial, ego-driven drivers of Furious. These drivers were a brotherhood, all related by their passion for mechanics and innovation. And much of the good sportsmanship came from the tattooed, pierced and “angry-looking” individuals you might usaully cross the street to avoid. ALEX SWITZER

MERRY TIME
Shiver me timbers! Talking like a pirate is fun, and dressing up as one is more so. At the Kids’ Maritime Festival, it’s educational, too. “We’re encouraging kids to come in costume,” says Eloise Beil, site manager for the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum at Basin Harbor. Historic re-enactors become swaggering swashbucklers while showing off the museum’s ships and artifacts, and small deck-swabbers can make three-corner hats, tie knots, or try “tattoos” of anchors, stars and cutlasses. The No Strings Marionette Company raises sail on lake-themed puppet shows by local kids, and guest musicians include Pete Sutherland and Mark Sustic singing chanteys and spinning yarns. Peg-leg stilt-pro Stephen Gratto tops it all off with juggling and jokes.
KIDS’ MARITIME FESTIVAL Saturday & Sunday, June 18 & 19, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Basin Harbor, Vergennes, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. $9, kids free with an adult. Info, 475-2022. http://www.lcmm.org

MUSICAL SHARES
In mid-June, when the Green Mountains live up to their name, composer and choral director Robert De Cormier lures more than 200 singers to Stowe for the Vermont International Choral Festival. Six groups from Georgia, California, Long Island and other locales gig out or offer open rehearsals separately over the weekend. On Saturday night, a huge outdoor concert pours vocal power into the exotic 1964 “Mass in Native Style” by Argentina’s Ariel Ramirez, as well as tunes by folk touchstones The Weavers. Picnic-packing early birds can nosh and nestle two hours before facing the music at the Trapp Family Lodge. Can’t make it up the mountain? On Sunday morning, several choirs sing at area churches before flying home.

GROWING PAINS
If South Africa under apartheid could be put in a nutshell, that nut would surely have fallen from The Syringa Tree. Playwright Pamela Gien grew up in Johannesburg. Her Obie Award-winning drama is told through the eyes of a young girl. Black, white, young, old, — more than two dozen characters are portrayed by Gien. Her director, Larry Moss, also coached actresses Helen Hunt and Hilary Swank to Oscar-winning roles in As Good As It Gets and Boys Don’t Cry, respectively. The Weston Playhouse is one of only three U.S. theaters in which Gien has starred in the one-woman show herself. Expect a fabulous and moving performance.
‘THE SYRINGA TREE’ Tuesday through Sunday, June 21-26, and Tuesday through Saturday, June 28 - July 2, Weston Playhouse, various times and prices. Info, 824-5288. http://www.westonplayhouse.org

always learn your mystery at the price of your innocence,” wrote Robertson Davies in Fifth Business. In the coming week, Aries, your assignment is to disprove this assertion. I think it will happen quite naturally; you won’t have to exert yourself heroically. In fact, I predict you will demonstrate the exact opposite of Davies’ assertion: As you dive deeper into the secrets of your greatest mystery, you will reclaim a lost portion of your innocence.
assign-ment this week, should you choose to accept it, is to outdo the Dullest Blogger in the World. From a command post at www.wibsite.com/wiblog/dull, this mystery figure writes entries like the following: “I was sitting on one of the chairs in my house. My hand was resting on the arm of the chair. I drummed my fingers on the arm, thereby making a barely audible sound . . . I considered playing some music on the stereo system. I looked at some CDs for a while, but didn’t put one on.” And what, you may ask, is my reasoning for urging you to be more humdrum than this person who is renowned for provoking yawns? The astrological fact of the matter, Cancerian, is that you need to temporarily tone down your excitement levels — way down. Escape the entertaining melodramas for now, and take a rejuvenating excursion into lazy boredom.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): Taurus musician Willie Nelson is a premier talent. Though described as a country artist, he’s really a genre unto himself. During his 50year career, he has written and recorded many great songs, collaborated with Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, and founded Farm Aid, an organization that raises funds to support family farms. Recently, however, he suffered a disappointment. Republican state senators in Texas shot down a bill that would have named a 49-mile patch of highway after him. They had a problem with the fact that Nelson smokes pot, is an exuberant consumer of alcohol, and supports Democratic candidates. Sound familiar, Taurus? You, too, are in danger of being cheated out of your rightful rewards because of some minor problems. Nelson didn’t protest his deprivation, but I think you should fight yours.
been playing by have worked fine for quite a while — not perfectly, but well enough. My sense is that their usefulness is almost at an end, however. Soon they will become counterproductive, no longer bringing out the best in you or the other players. I suggest, therefore, that you change the rules now, before they start undermining everyone. You know that old saw, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” This is one time when that advice is wrong.
GEMINI
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The
(May 21-June 20): Here’s your question for the week: What’s the difference between deluded self-esteem that leads you to waste your time on impossible dreams and well-justified self-esteem that inspires you to seek a viable goal that’s beyond your previous level of accomplishment? An example of the first is the Louisiana State University student who declared himself eligible for the National Basketball Association’s draft, although he wasn’t even good enough to play on his college team. An example of the second is my talented musician friend Allie, who made a demo CD in her home studio and brazenly sent it to a big record company executive, who liked it so much he signed her to a recording contract.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The rules you’ve
ancient Greek physician Hippocrates is known as the father of medicine. Even today, the approach that he and his followers formulated remains a major influence, epitomized in the Hippocratic Oath sworn by all new doctors. His views on horoscopes might be shocking to some, however. “A physician without a knowledge of astrology,” he wrote, “has no right to call himself a physician.” I wish modern MDs would take that part of Hippocrates’ wisdom as seriously as they do the rest; the art of healing would be more efficacious if it included an understanding of patients’ astro logical makeup. Now please apply this approach as you revisit the ideas that are at the foundation of what you believe, Virgo. In

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As a boy, the renowned Spanish matador Manolete was a sissy. He rarely played outdoors, preferring to be near his mother as he read books and painted pictures. Psychologist James Hillman explains this by suggesting that the youthful Manolete had already sensed his destiny, intuiting that one day he would be alone in the ring facing down angry half-ton bulls. His childhood behavior was a way of marshalling his strength and shielding him from the enormity of the challenges he would seek out one day. Think about how this theme might apply to your own life, Libra. Is it possible that what you have considered one of your weaknesses has actually been preparing you to express tremendous strength?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The only secrets you have to worry about are those you’re keeping from yourself. It might be helpful to know what other people are hiding, true, but the only way their covert agendas and sneaky maneuvering can hurt you is if you continue to lie to yourself. Besides, there’s just one sure strategy for exposing the secrets that others are keeping: Tell yourself the naked truth about your own feelings and motivations.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s Feel Gratitude for Your Ex-Lovers, Old Flames and Divorced Spouses Week. One of the best ways to celebrate is to stop thinking of your old relationships as failures. Instead, regard them as classrooms where you learned valuable lessons about intimacy. Think of them as practice sessions that helped you figure out what you really want a loving bond to be. Acknowledge the fact that even if you believe your former partners did you wrong, they were great teachers. I urge you to send them thank-you notes, or at least honor their memory with silent bursts of gratitude. 1x2-billColi022504

CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): British medical researchers recently announced that, contrary to conventional wisdom, brief periods of stress are healthy for us — so much so that they boost longevity and enhance our cells’ ability to repair themselves. At the same time, the scientists emphasized that intense, long-term stress is still just as bad for us as we’ve always thought. If they’re right, Capricorn, you should be the picture of vitality right now. The difficulties you’ve been facing lately have passed the Goldilocks test: neither too great nor too small, but just right.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): So you want to move a certain mountain from where it now stands to a place more conveniently located. Is that a worthy project? I don’t know. Here’s what I do know: The task can be done, but it will take longer than you think. In the early going you may have to work without the best tools and do much of the heavy lifting yourself. In order to succeed, you will also have to develop more stamina than you currently have. But all of these things would actually be very good for you.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): In my travels by car, I often see bumper stickers on which parents brag about their offspring. Today I spied both “My child is an honor student at Newbury Middle School” and “My kid beat up an honor student at Newbury Middle School.” A new wrinkle also appeared on a third bumper: “I’m the proud parent of a rat terrier.” It led me to muse on how everyone has a parental relationship with someone or something. The vulnerable little thing they care for might be a child or pet or houseplant or plot of land, or even a machine or other inanimate object. What about you, Pisces? Whatever it is you take care of, you should concentrate harder on being a good mom or dad in the coming week. Your ward or dependent or protégé needs you more than usual. 1

4 legals NOTICE OF PUBLIC FORUMS ON CIRC-WILLISTON ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), announces that three public forums have been scheduled for the week of June 27, 2005. The purpose of the forums is to provide the public with information about the Circ-Williston Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Alternatives Screening Process and to receive formal and informal comments from the public. The purpose of the Circ-Williston Transportation Project is to improve access to, from, and within the corridor from I-89 to the Towns of Williston and Essex and the Village of Essex Junction and to remedy existing and projected deficiencies including congestion, safety, and mobility issues (including movement of both people and goods), as well as related quality of life issues in the Circ-Williston corridor. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) are lead agencies for the project. EIS Scoping has been completed and the next step in the EIS process is screening a long list of alternatives for meeting the identified transportation purpose and need. Alternatives Screening is the step before detailed analysis of a short list of alternatives; it is about which alternatives should be studied in detail, not about which alternative is best.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, I’ve been dating “Jeb” for three years, and he’s started talking about marriage. We get along great, but sometimes when we have a disagreement, he scares me. His expression hardens, his voice tightens, and his fists clench. He’s never actually hit me, but he has raised his hand as if to threaten me. His father, who gets this same look sometimes, has a history of hitting Jeb and Jeb’s mom. I know that abused children are more likely to become abusive adults. Jeb is 32 and has never been violent, but I’m worried that he’ll turn into his father. Should I be? Scared in South Burlington Dear Scared, The fact that Jeb takes on his father’s expression doesn’t concern me nearly as much as his raised fist. Even if no physical damage is done, threats and verbal intimidation can also leave long-lasting marks. On the other hand, people overcome troubled pasts all the time. To overcome his, Jeb needs to learn how to fight fair rather than following his father’s example. Before you and Jeb tie the knot, I would encourage you to take this issue up in pre-nuptial counseling. Love, Lola

Hello there and MEOW! I am Kona, a 3-year-old long-haired, female, brown-orange-and-white tiger cat. I LOVE being brushed. I am a very sweet and social lady. I am a curious one too and enjoy exploring any new surroundings. I love being petted and having my chin gently scratched, however, I prefer to be adored with all of my paws firmly planted. I would love to find a home where I will be cherished with gentle people. Any kids in the family should be a bit older so that they understand my handling preferences. Because I was a stray, and a beautiful one at that, I have no history with other animals. I enjoy playing with my toys from time to time and am ready to be your friend.
