SEVEN DAYS
EVERY WEEK, SEVEN DAYS TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO... Now it’s your chance to be the critic! Our fourth annual best-of contest invites you to pick the “Daysies.” We’d like you to weigh in on your favorites, from restaurants to bands to clothing stores to snow slopes. Remember, this is a Vermont contest, so keep it local! Please write legibly and be specific — we may not know what you mean by “that store on Church Street that sells widgets.” RULES: • Voters should fill out ONLY ONE ballot. Evidence of ballot duplication will result in all those ballots being disqualified. • Voters must fill out a minimum of 25 percent of the ballot (23 votes) for it to be counted. • Play fair, Daysie candidates! Campaigning to win is OK, but bribes, payment or other incentives should not be employed to get votes. Evidence of this will result in disqualification of candidate.
ALL BALLOTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MONDAY, JULY 3, 2006 at 5 PM Thanks for picking your Daysies!

BREAST ASSURED I enjoy Harry’s Bliss’ edgy cartoons in your publication, as well as his other work. However, in his June 7 drawing, a man is riveted by the sight of his buddy’s wife lifting her shirt, and his friend informs him that she’s just preparing herself to breastfeed in public. Breastfeeding has many benefits for babies, mothers and the environment, and Vermont ranks only 21st in the nation in the percentage of babies who are ever breastfed. Therefore I think it’s important to assure Seven Days readers that you don’t have to expose yourself to breastfeed in public. You can use your shirt or a blanket or the baby itself to shield your body. People may notice, but they really don’t stare. Breastfeeding in public nourishes your baby and our community. Sara Solnick

LOS ANGELES, 6/6/6, AND RAISING HELL (edited for length) To say that the previous week spent in The City of (Lost) Angels was a good time would be a vast understatement... The Satanic High Mass was beyond incredible. Exceeded all of my expectations. When we got to the theater, we had to wait for about an hour in the parking lot before we could all get in. Early on, local and international news crews lined the streets outside of the property (a limitation enforced by hired and very armed security officers), trying to get footage. Some Church of Satan members were interviewed on the sidewalk, which is as far as the news crews were allowed — excluding the BBC, who were granted permission to shoot additional interview footage in the lot. Those who missed the event (that is, aside from the protesters who couldn’t even find the place and were blocks away somewhere else with their displayed dissent) will be happy to know that it will be released as a standalone presentation on DVD in the future...

The ritual performance, to the best of my time-guessing abilities, was anywhere from 60-90 minutes. Although I’m not going to go into too many details for my general reading audience, the energy during the performance was extremely high and with a powerful degree of participation. (Move over, Nuremberg.) I can only imagine the shock and fear that would have hit outsiders had they been there. You could have cut the energy of that evening with a knife; the air was thick with it... Hats off to all who put it on, especially Bryan and Heather. Hard work that truly paid off.
YECCH According to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, an abortion is to induce expulsion of a human fetus. What was James Kochalka thinking with his June 7 comic? I normally look forward to reading James Kochalka’s comic in Seven Days. I was appalled when I came across this week’s. Titled “Abortion,” he goes on to use a coat hanger to pull a big blob of sink scum from his drain. The title, the coat hanger and the image of that blob made me instantly feel sick to my stomach. I myself have not had one, but I did suffer a mis-

carriage, and I do not take the term abortion lightly. I can’t even imagine how many women had to look at this and have it bring back horrible memories. Shame on you, James, and shame on you, Seven Days, for printing this. Kacey Boone
Plus, it was a fun audience. Congratulations to Vermont and Seven Days for a continued sensibility favoring beauty, art, music, nature and accurate news. Meredith Parsons McComb

EAT LOCAL Thanks, Seven Days, for printing Ken Picard’s story on local farming, “Flood Waters Recede, but Crop Losses Remain” [June 7]. It is an example of the kind of quiet news story that is easy to overlook but important for us all to know. As Mr. Picard points out, particularly hard-hit have been the small farms and collectives in the Burlington Intervale. We must keep these valuable local resources in mind as summer comes, the sun returns, and our own backyard gardens rebound, as undoubtedly they will. If we would all try to remember, as the growing season continues, to make an extra effort this year to support our local farmers’ markets and those stores and restaurants which sell and serve locally grown produce, we can each engage in a kind of community activism that is at once convenient, affordable and pleasurable, and that helps our hard-working farmer neighbors at the same time. Susan Mack

CARMEN CLARIFICATIONS Thanks for your excellent and largely accurate account of the delicious Carmen exhibit at Fran Bull’s Gallery-in-the-Fields [“State of the Arts,” May 31.] That’s me in Eric Longey’s excellent photos. But may I correct a couple of things? Most importantly: Though invited, I will not be in the cast of A Dinner Engagement because of a prior conflict. I expect those who attend will be delighted notwithstanding that. Secondly, I’m a mezzo-soprano and a Middlebury College alumna (double major, art history and economics); a native of Traverse City, Michigan, not a local girl. I think Doug Anderson was more taken with my Metropolitan Opera/Tanglewood/WolfTrap background than my hometown bona fides. And though the costume remained headless when the writer visited, I sang at the opening and CHARLOTTE now have an itch to return for the closing. Fran’s grand paintings very ANARCHISTS IN ACTION much inspired and infused that Carmen — what I think of as one of We thought your readers would be interested to know that the photo my best performances ever — and 2x6-climbhigh052505 5/23/05 11:55 AM Page 1 you ran in connection with the artiI’d love to increase her viewership.

cle on Lewiston [“Diversity Advocates Warn: Remember Lewiston, Maine,” June 7] was of Vermonters! That’s right, those folks wearing black bandanas holding the “Nazis Out!” banner are, for the most part, members of the Green Mountain Anarchist Collective. Back in 2001 our collective took a lead role in organizing a militant presence against the various Nazi organizations attempting to gain a foothold in Lewiston, Maine. We are happy to say that our efforts, along with those from many locals, successfully shut down the fascist attempt to build a permanent pres-
ence in northern New England. All told, 500 people (including many Vermonters) demonstrated outside the Nazi meeting (which drew 35 fascists), and another 5000 attended a diversity rally across town. The Green Mountain Anarchist Collective believes that no fascist organization should be allowed to operate in our neck of the woods (or anywhere, for that matter), and that no fascist group should be allowed to openly recruit without being shut down by any and all possible means. Our grandfathers did not fight and die in World War II for nothing. The Green Mountain Anarchist
Collective contends that we need to rebuild Vermont (and the world) according to the directly democratic principles of Town Meeting. These principles must be extended to the community, on the job and on the farm. Such democracy, combined with social equity, is what is called for — not the hate, bigotry and totalitarianism that fascists hope to spread. Jonna Jaimie & David Crawford Milton
KUDOS Have appreciated your coverage of Chris Graff [“Inside Track,” June 14]. I was the AP correspondent in Montpelier from May 1974 to May 1975. Even though I only spent a year in Vermont, I developed an abiding love and respect for the state, its politics and its politicians. Keep up your good work. Dean Schott GLENVIEW, IL

SANDERS SHILL The 2006 campaign season be dammed! It’s same old garrulous chic and insipid piss that Peter Freyne pours out of his keyboard onto the “Inside Track” in “Tarrant’s Real Target,” June 7. Who is Peter Freyne to say who has traction and who doesn’t, when he is greasing up the Vermont campaign trail for his favorite hometown Brooklynite? I can’t disagree more with Freyne’s claim that Sanders is a “living legend of the left.” There is Darfur, but if we were elephants we’d all well remember how he so backed Daniel Ortega that Sanders and company nearly cried when Ortega lost the Nicaraguan general election in 1990. Then there were the Balkans, when Sanders hopped on a plane with fellow Congressional wingnuts to put the hold on NATO’s rescue of the United Nations debacle. Or how about Sanders’ British liberal contemporary Galloway and his alleged, art-

fully defended involvement in the U.N.-sponsored Iraqi Oil for Food Program corruption? And, of course, more recently we have the Vanna White show by Bernard Sanders with representatives from Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, selfavowed enemy of the United States, holding the hose to pump out gallons of discount heating oil to Vermonters. Doesn’t it sound like we are talking about a candidate without a country who wants to be a senator from Vermont? What’s the difference if Tarrant sold IDX to General Electric? Didn’t Ben and Jerry, Bernie Sanders’ political look-alikes, sell their kit and caboodle to Unilever? Freyne is stumping for a candidate who admitted in UVM’s Cynic that the first person he voted for in Vermont was himself. Sure, let’s bring up the Gulf War Syndrome studies — wasn’t it Sanders’ ardent assertion that the U.S. government was hiding information about chemical and biological weapon exposures in the first Gulf War before “WMD” became a part of the vernacular? Wasn’t it Sanders who said his American hero is Eugene Debs? Is it any wonder I can’t find a book on Eugene Debs in the Fletcher Free Library? The way Freyne carries on about his candidate, you’d think he was talking about Nathan Hale. A Nathan hotdog is more like it. Roger Donegan

MONTPELIER — Want a helpful hint on how you could help slow the spread of an avian flu pandemic? David Harp of Middlesex suggests carrying a jalapeño around in your pocket for a week. Harp isn’t saying that the hot pepper is a preventative or cure for the H5N1 virus. Nor is he superstitious. Harp isn’t even a public-health professional. He’s just a concerned citizen who’s been closely following news of the global spread of avian influenza and the range of public responses to it. Harp is also a member of the Middlesex Pandemic Health Emergency Committee and an expert on behavioral psychology. He says that one of the keys to preparing Vermonters for the possible arrival of a pandemic flu will be to modify their behavior in simple but effective ways that could slow the rate of infection. By carrying around jalapeños for a week, people would suddenly become very aware — in a visceral, painful, way — of how often they touch their mouths and eyes with unwashed hands. Harp was one of about 50 people who attended last week’s regional pandemic flu summit at Montpelier High School. The 3-hour event was one of nine held around the state in recent weeks, sponsored by the Vermont Office of Emergency Management, the Department of Health, and Vermont Homeland Security. The sessions, which were attended by more than 700 local officials and first responders, were an outgrowth of the Governor’s Pandemic Flu Summit on January 12 in Burlington. From the start, officials from the health department emphasized that the current strain of avian flu is not yet a pandemic and may never become one. Though it’s decimated some bird populations and killed about 100 people overseas, there’s no evidence yet that H5N1 is spreading from person to person. Nevertheless, public-health officials around the world are preparing for the worst. In Vermont, the regional flu summits were intended to help local emergency-planning committees prepare for such an outbreak.

The Montpelier event demonstrated how varied those local preparations have been, and how much more work remains to be done. Vermont State Veterinarian Kerry Rood opened the summit by giving a brief primer on the

Vermont’s domestic waterfowl and live bird “swap meets” and livestock exhibitions could become potential points for avian flu transmission. avian influenza virus, including how it might mutate and become a human-to-human illness. Rood noted that in many respects, Vermont is an unlikely candidate for the first U.S. outbreak. For instance, the state doesn’t have live bird markets such as those in Boston and New York City. But Vermont does have plenty of domestic waterfowl, as well as live bird “swap meets” and livestock exhibitions, which could become potential points for avian flu transmission. Rood said that the Agency of Agriculture routinely monitors those events and has a pandemic flu response plan in place should a case appear. If a contaminated bird were found in Vermont, Rood said, the infected flock would immediately be quarantined and “depopulated,” that is, euthanized. However, he said that Vermont livestock owners need not fear that neighboring or nearby flocks would automatically be quarantined as well. As Rood put it, “We’re not going to go door to door killing poultry. That just doesn’t make sense.” Rood’s biggest concerns are the spread of misinformation about avian flu, and that officials will “lose focus” once the next public health crisis arises. As he put it, “How many of you remember SARS or monkey pox?” Dr. Patsy Tassler, an epidemiologist with the Vermont Department of Health, offered some possible scenarios should avian flu mutate into a humanto-human disease. Based on flu epidemics from 1957 and 1968, Tassler estimated that as many as 186,000 Vermonters could be infected, with several thousand
challenged Tassler’s figures and underlying assumptions. “We don’t know if [this disease] has a 50 percent mortality rate, or a 2 percent mortality rate,” he said. “Frankly, these figures aren’t all that useful.” Similar questions arose following the presentation by Barbara Farr, director of Vermont Emergency Management. As she noted, an avian flu outbreak could last four to eight weeks, if not longer. In such a case, Farr said, all of Vermont’s resources “are going to be stretched,” and state and local officials cannot assume that the federal agencies will have the resources to come to their assistance. Farr didn’t discuss how local officials should prepare for such devastating reductions in staff, nor how planners should prepare for the “continuity of operations” that would be needed to keep society functioning. In fact, when the 3-hour summit was over, one attendee (who asked not to be identified) remarked that while the various presentations were full of government acronyms and organizational flow charts, they were “surprisingly short” on marching orders. “I was expecting more,” he said. In July, Vermont emergency planners will get to put their flu plans to the test when the state participates in “Operation Pandemic Flu.” The 2-week event, which will simulate a viral outbreak on a real chicken farm, has been described as “the largest functional exercise of its kind in Vermont history.” Emergency planners insist that no birds will be harmed during the exercise. m

I T A L I A N SHORT CHANGED?
The Original Pizza from Long Island!
An unusual theater event is taking place at Burlington’s City Hall on Wednesday, June 21. The production of Harold Pinter’s oneact play The Dwarfs is a fundraiser for Burlington’s Committee on Temporary Shelter. What makes the production unique is that the cast members are all COTS clients. Co-director Linden Marno-Ferree, a 23year-old AmeriCorps volunteer who works at the homeless shelter, says she chose the play because, though it’s not about homelessness, it deals with issues that resonate with her clients, such as alienation and “coming to grips with reality.” Marno-Ferree thought staging a play would help them showcase their eccentricities in a positive way. “People are taught that to secure a stable housing situation, they have to quell that,” she says. “I don’t want them to quell it.” Richard Cave says that wasn’t really his motivation for rehearsing two to three hours a day, five days a week for the past six weeks. The 63-year-old has stayed in the shelter in the past. He currently lives in a tent in Burlington, but still receives COTS services. “I just thought it would be a good way of giving back a little for what I’ve gotten,” he says. The Dwarfs plays at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Admission is $5, and is free for COTS clients. For more info, call 862-5418.

the conversation again,” says Beth Robinson, chair of the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force. “The world has changed so much since 2000,” the year of the civil-unions debate, she says. “The issue of whether gay and lesbian relationships should be recognized and respected is off the table. The focus now is how to do that.” Exit polls in 2004 showed 40 percent of Vermonters favoring marriage, 86 percent supporting civil unions, and only 2 percent opposed to either. This year VFTM picked up its pace. The group — which has a mailing list of 17,000 to 18,000 and a budget of around $100,000 to $120,000 — hired a field director. It has been organizing house parties around the state and sponsoring talks at churches and Rotary clubs. In the legislature, Representative Mark Larsen (D-Burlington) introduced a marriage-equity bill this year. The measure didn’t go anywhere, “but he or someone else will raise it again and again and again until it does,” Robinson predicts. “We’ve been keeping our eye on the ultimate goal of full marriage equity since day one.” In addition to Wolfson’s talk, Tuesday’s event will feature the premiere of “Voices of Vermonters.” The 13-minute video by Vermont filmmakers Deb Ellis and Nora Jacobson is “designed to let Vermonters hear fellow Vermonters telling their stories and what this law means to them,” Robinson says. The program begins at 7 p.m. at the Lake & College Street Building on the waterfront. m

put gay and marriage into the same sentences and explaining . . . how the denial hurts people and why marriage matters. As we explain to people, over time, it brings them to fairness.” Wolfson says he avoids the phrase “gay marriage” because it suggests a separate, special institution, he says. “We’re not asking nongay people for something new as a favor,” he stresses. “When people are committed, it’s called ‘marriage.’” Ironically, so-called “defense of marriage” activity also helps the marriage-equality cause, Wolfson suggests, because it puts the issue on the table. “Any time people are prompted to push past their discomfort,” he claims, “the more fairminded people move to our side.” This trend doesn’t follow a straight line; it’s more a matter of two steps forward, one step back. Support for marriage equality grew in 1996, after Congress passed defense-of-marriage legislation, but it fell in 2003-’04, with “the barrage of right-wing attacks and amendment efforts and the president and the pope ganging up,” Wolfson says. Once the public had absorbed the legalization of marriage in Massachusetts and Canada and the Supreme Court’s Lawrence decision striking down Texas’ anti-sodomy law, opposition to same-sex marriage began to decline, polls show. Today, just over 50 percent of Americans — a much smaller number than a decade ago — oppose marriage rights for homosexuals. In Vermont, “We’ve taken a breather from the civil-union debate and are now ready to open

VERMONT — Forty-five states currently have laws or constitutional amendments limiting wedlock to one man and woman, so it might seem like hard times for the gaymarriage movement. But marriageequality activists are focused on the long term and have reason to be optimistic. That’s the message Evan Wolfson, executive director of the national organization Freedom to Marry, will deliver on June 27 at a Burlington fundraiser. “The characteristic pattern of civil-rights advances in America is a patchwork,” Wolfson notes in a phone interview. “During those patchwork periods, which can last years or decades, some states move faster while other states stay the same or regress. We’re not immune from history, but we have to seize our victories.” Connecticut, like Vermont, now grants civil unions. California, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and the District of Columbia all provide some spousal-like rights to samesex couples. The biggest coup, of course, is in Massachusetts, which recognizes actual marriage between same-sex couples. And with challenges before their high courts, Washington, New Jersey and New York could all join Massachusetts. The push for marriage rights for same-sex couples is taking place on three fronts: in the courts, in the legislature and in the arena of public opinion. Wolfson, whose views are published online at www.freedom tomarry.org and in his book Why Marriage Matters, explains that it’s a matter of “teaching people to

DAIRY
Got Brand? Three Food Co-ops Unbottle a Joint Milk Label BY KEVIN J. KELLEY PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
VERMONT — Getting food cooperatives to cooperate with one another is no easy task, says Clem Nilan, merchandising manager for City Market. It took weeks of wrangling, for example, before the Burlington co-op and its counterparts in Middlebury and Montpelier could thrash out a consensus on the design of a label for gallon jugs of milk that the three stores are jointly marketing under their own brand. “Vermont Co-op Milk” is now available on cooler shelves at City Market/Onion River Co-op, the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op and Hunger Mountain Co-op in Montpelier. It’s an unprecedented venture made possible by an agreement with Monument Farms, a 76-year-old, family-owned dairy in Weybridge. In an effort to sustain one of the last dairies in the state that bottles its own milk, the co-ops will pay a fixed, year-round price for Monument Farms milk, helping protect the producer from the mostly downward market gyrations that have made family dairy farming in Vermont a losing proposition in recent years. The deal was sealed with handshakes rather than written contracts among the various parties. “It makes sense for co-ops to support a local dairy because we committed to local are economies,” Nilan says. “There’s no downside to this project — not for the farmers, not for the co-ops and not for the customer.” He suggests that the joint milk branding may eventually be replicated with other local product lines carried by the co-ops. Customers at the three outlets already demonstrate through their purchasing patterns that they’re attracted to a co-op-branded item. All three stores continue to carry competitors’ milk, but the Vermont Co-op brand is building strong shopper loyalty. “Sales have been tremendous,” says Reiner Winkler, dairy department manager at the Middlebury co-op. He estimates a 20 percent increase in purchases of gallon jugs in the three weeks since Monument Farms milk was relabeled with the Vermont Co-op logo. The Weybridge dairy has been supplying milk to the Middlebury co-op since its opening 30 years ago. The store continues to stock varieties of Monument Farms milk under the dairy’s own label in different-size containers. City Market has also been carrying Monument Farms milk for some time. In fact, the Addison County dairy accounts for about 9000 of the 12,105 gallon-containers of milk that the Burlington co-op has sold so far this year,
Peas are annuals that prefer cool weather and mature early. The peas inside the pod were considered berries by botanists. Pennsylvanian Germans always planted peas under the Gemini sign hoping to get two for one and double pods. The Geraniums botanical name comes from the Greek “geranos”, meaning a crane. These plants are cultivated for their round, often variegated leaves and showy clusters of red, pink or white flowers. Available in both hand patinaed bronze and oxidized silver with white freshwater pearls. The Pea Pods also available in 14kt. gold.

also notes that City Market ranks third in the United States in total sales volume among single-outlet co-ops, surpassed only by The Wedge in Minneapolis and the Sacramento, California, co-op. Monument Farms milk is a new addition to the offerings of Hunger Mountain in Montpelier, which had previously been beyond the dairy’s distribution range. The central Vermont co-op jumped at the chance to sell Monument Farms, says dairy buyer Bob Messing. He points out that the milk comes from an environmentally conscientious supplier that pastures its cows at least part of the year, spreads only manure as fertilizer, grows its own feed without using genetically engineered seeds, and does not inject its 360 Holsteins with bovine growth hormone. Access to Hunger Mountain will
dairy has managed to remain financially stable despite the accelerating attrition of locally owned outlets, which have given way to convenience-store chains such as Maplefields. While many mom-and-pop grocery stores would make a point of buying milk from a neighboring supplier, the chains “don’t give a hoot where their product comes from,” Rooney says. His initial fears of losing Monument Farms’ brand identity have been allayed by its inclusion in the Vermont Co-op Milk label, Rooney says. He welcomes the new business opportunities that the marketing initiative brings. But selling more milk is not his dairy’s principal aim, Rooney adds. “We’re going into this more to promote the idea of buying local products. We’ve been pushing the local angle for as long as we’ve been around.” m

Fresh local food with a worldly flair
AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
“Intelligence” Cover-up
M
aybe Big Brother does read “Inside Track” after all? Last week we mentioned the embarrassing high-school graduation speech our notso-intelligent director of National Intelligence delivered at St. Johnsbury Academy on June 5. John Negroponte incorrectly told the the gathering of graduates, his son among them, that the small Vermont city and its distinguished public/private secondary school had been named after St. John, author of one of the four gospels of the Christian New Testament. Not true. Good intelligence would have told Director Negroponte that St. Johnsbury was not named for the scripture-writing, canonized saint, but rather for a Frenchman Ethan Allen admired named Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur. He never wrote any scripture whatsoever. Instead, this St. Jean penned Letters of an American Farmer (1792). Last Wednesday, two hours after Seven Days hit the street and the Internet, we noticed a change at the director of National Intelligence’s website: http://www.dni.gov. Director Negroponte’s Vermont graduation address, titled “DNI Commencement Ceremony Remarks at St. Johnsbury Academy,” was still listed with his public speeches. However, a click on the June 5 link led to his June 7 speech to the Intelligence and National Security Alliance instead. We checked back a few hours later, and any reference to Negroponte’s Vermont speech had been removed entirely. It was as if it never happened. Informed of the disappearing speech, Sen. Patrick Leahy’s spokesman David Carle said to us, “As Ron Ziegler [press secretary to President Richard Nixon] would say, ‘The speech is now inoperative.’” So far, major news organizations have ignored Director Negroponte’s lousy intelligence. Military Matters — A press release sent out by Republican Martha Rainville’s congressional campaign on June 14 contained some interesting information the campaign certainly did not wish to release. Mistakenly, the “Rainville Criticizes LateNight Congressional Pay Increases” release contained a notation at the top indicating that, in addition to the Vermont press, it was sent to “dan” at “dipietrodesign.com.” Hey, in this new Internet world, everything is just a click away! Check for yourself at http://www.dipietrodesign.com. The link opened the DiPietro Design website. Listed right on the opening page under the headline “Recent Projects” were just two: “Martha Rainville for Congress” and “VT National Guard Web Site.” Small world, isn’t it? A couple more clicks led one to Dan DiPietro’s photo and personal bio. “From 11/05 to 2/06 I created the Martha Rainville for Congress identity, stationery, print collateral and website. Under strict deadlines I worked closely with the campaign manager and was able to develop a theme and visual identity strategy for the project.”
Cool. Since last October, writes DiPietro, he has worked at the Vermont Army National Guard as an “IT Specialist (INET) Webmaster.” Cool. But as many readers will recall, last fall Gen. Martha Rainville insisted she was not a candidate for Congress. She was the Adjutant General of the Vermont National Guard, America was at war, and that’s where her attention was focused. Contacted by “Inside Track” on Monday, DiPietro informed us he is an “E-4 corporal” on “full-time active duty.” He said DiPietro Designs is “a side business.” He has not yet registered it with the State of Vermont, describing it as “a little gig” that he does “after work.” Corporal DiPietro also told us he “checks on and updates” his former commanding officer’s political campaign website daily. The 23-year-old guardsman and campaign web designer told us he has made sure there is “no crossover” between his web work for the National Guard and his web work for Marvelous Martha. Asked about Corporal DiPietro’s work for the campaign, Rainville told us, “He’s excellent.” Gen. Rainville discounted any possible impropriety, noting Corporal DiPietro did not perform campaign work for her “on National Guard time.” Last November, when Gen. Rainville put Corporal DiPietro on her campaign payroll, she was telling everyone she hadn’t decided yet on whether she’d be a candidate. Therefore, she declined to discuss issues. As for signing up the corporal, she told us, “I was in the exploratory phase. I had to be prepared.” Democrat Peter Welch’s campaign wasn’t buying it. Campaign Manager Carolyn Dwyer told “Inside Track,” “Martha Rainville once said, ‘Anything that politicizes the Guard, even by perception, is damaging to the Guard.’ The Rainville campaign consistently says one thing and does another.” And it’s only June, folks. Gloves Off! — Vermont’s U.S. Senate race heated up significantly this week when Republican hopeful, self-funded multimillionaire Richard Tarrant, posted an attack ad on his campaign website. Richie Rich, the 63-year-old political rookie, also held a Tuesday presser to castigate the frontrunner, Independent and Democrat-endorsed Rep. Bernie Sanders, for accepting contributions from sugar-industry political action committees. Almost simultaneously, Sanders zeroed in on the “35 years of health-care experience” Tarrant boasts about in his deluge of TV ads. The target was Richie’s record serving on the board of trustees at Vermont’s largest hospital (2000-2003), when the largest financial scandal in state history went down right under his nose. Even six months after CEO Bill Boettcher resigned in disgrace, Trustee Tarrant was still publicly defending the

hospital and the trustees. In an arrogant — dare we say “Tarragant?” — op-ed in The Burlington Free Press, Rich wrote that he had yet to see any charge made in the paper’s investigative series by Cadence Mertz that either “resembles the truth” or was “supported by real facts.” “No one can justly accuse Fletcher Allen of hiding the true cost of the project or of it careening out of control with trustees standing idly by,” wrote Richie Rich. Tarrant could not have been more wrong. In fact, almost two years later, before Boettcher was sentenced to serve two years in a federal prison, Tarrant had to sign an official court document declaring just how wrong he’d been in that op-ed. Boettcher and other defendants had hoped to use Tarrant’s words to plead for more lenient sentences. Asked this week about his total failure as a hospital trustee to see the scandal before him, Tarrant told reporters, “You know, I’m not a financial genius, and there’s probably nobody better in the state than Bill Boettcher in terms of hospital financial capabilities.” Yikes! Nobody better? He’s in prison, fer chrissakes! “I’ve never had an accounting course,” continued Tarrant, “but, by the same token, I’ll stack my business record against anybody.” Sanders campaign guru Jeff Weaver tells us to expect to hear a lot more about Richie’s Rich’s “business record” as the campaign continues. “The point is, you have somebody who is predicating their whole campaign on 35 years of ‘experience in health care,’” said Weaver. “If Richie Tarrant is going to do for the U.S. health system what he did when he was supposed to be overseeing Fletcher Allen, God save us!” A “Rove” for the Left? — Yes, folks, there will be a “next” Karl Rove someday, a political spinmeister/strategist who will light the path to electoral victory and government takeover. But what if the next Karl Rove isn’t a Republican? The first thing we liked about David Sirota was his age. When we first met him, back in the waning days of the 20th century, he was a 24-year-old from the Philly burbs who, unlike 99.9 percent of his contemporaries, had been bitten bad by the political bug. So bad that he landed the post of press secretary for Vermont’s Independent Congressman Bernie Sanders. Very bright kid was he. Streetsmart, as they say. David moved up from being Ol’ Bernardo’s spokesman in 1999 to spokesman for all the Democrats on the Appropriations Committee two years later. Then he went west and, in 2004, helped get Democrat Brian Schweitzer elected governor in the red state of Montana. Sirota knows something. Today he’s in the midst of a national book tour for his recently published Hostile Takeover: How Big Money & Corruption Conquered Our Government, and How We Take It Back. It’s the best up-to-date snapshot we’ve seen that demonstrates how the Republicans have, in a
cold, calculated and successful way, controlled the message on Capitol Hill for the last six years. Yes, it is depressing and Sirota acknowledges it, but reality is always a good starting point in politics. And chapter by chapter, issue by issue, the young political whiz points to solutions. Last week on CNBC’s “Kudlow & Cramer,” Sirota got into a televised dustup with ABC’s conservative celebrity journalist John Stossel. His new book is titled Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity. One Stossel “myth” is that raising the minimum wage helps workers. Stossel argued the minimum wage affects only 3 percent of the workforce. An increase would only put some of them out of work. Bad idea. But Sirota pointed out that states that have raised the minimum wage above the federal level have created jobs at a far faster rate than the states that have not. “That is because,” said Sirota, “when you raise the minimum wage, you put money into the pockets of people who will spend it, and it spurs the economy. Now, that might not be heard in your book, which purports to debunk lies, but those are the facts.” Stossel told viewers he now recognized Sirota as “the person who had come on my Amazon.com page” and called him a “smarmylooking liar.” “You are!” said Sirota without hesitation. Interesting. There was a good turnout last Saturday for Sirota’s talk and book-signing at Borders in downtown Burlington. Vermonters in particular will recognize many echoes of Sirota’s former boss in Hostile Takeover. Sanders himself was on hand to introduce the celebrity author. “My major claim to fame,” joked Ol’ Bernardo, “is that I knew David before he was famous. When he was just a struggling Hill staffer, needing a job, I hired him! “What David’s talking about,” said Sanders, “is for the Democratic Party today to be what it was 30 or 40 years ago, the party of working people.” Speaking of Democrats, we simply had to ask Mr. Sirota, the hot populist/leftist author of the moment, what his current view of Howard Dean is. David first hit Vermont in 1999, before Ho-Ho became a household word. “I was not originally a big fan of Howard Dean, like, way back when I worked for Bernie,” answered Sirota, “so I’ll be honest about that. I think that when Howard Dean ran for president, he underwent a genuine conversion. I really believe that, and it took me a long time to believe it.” The author recalled that Ho-Ho visited Montana as the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Sirota sat next to him at a dinner. They chatted. The new Dean was different. “So, I really do believe he’s undergone a conversion in terms of embracing a more populist, progressive outlook,” insisted Sirota. “Now, I’m not going to speculate on what that’s motivated by, and frankly I don’t care what it’s motivated by. I think the guy has

undergone this conversion, and as DNC chairman he’s done a lot of good things.� Stay tuned. Media Notes — WCAX-TV News Director and anchorman Marselis Parsons has one of the most familiar faces in Vermont, but few ever get to hear him speak when he isn’t reading from a teleprompter. That’s why his appearance on VPT’s “Vermont This Week� Friday was all the more worth watching. And Marsillyiss did not disappoint. 2x1-CityMarket062106#2 6/20/06 8:50 AM The subject was the health of Vermont’s oldest U.S. Senator, Jim Jeffords, 72, who is not running for reelection. Earlier in 2x3-heeney052406.indd 1 the week VPR ran a story out of Washington that raised questions about Jeezum Jim’s health, noting he doesn’t stop and talk to reporters like he used to. “The larger question wasn’t in the VPR report,� said Ch. 3’s Parsons, “but it sort of hinted at: Is Sen. Jeffords capable? And I think that’s a serious question for Vermont. Do we have two senators who are intellectually and mentally capable of casting intelligent votes?� “You used to be able to talk to Jim Jeffords about almost anything,� said Parsons, “and now, all of a sudden, things have changed.� He said Jeffords has declined recent invitations to appear on Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Me.� “He really is inaccessible, and the question is, why? Why is he inaccessible, a man, especially, who used to be so willing to talk to us about almost any issue?� asked Marsillyiss. In a response to our inquiry, Jeffords’ press secretary Diane Derby scoffed at Parsons’ remarks. She said she doubted “the 300 Vermonters who Jim Jeffords addressed at Monday’s disabilities conference [at the Sheraton-Burlington] found him to be inaccessible or incapable.� In fact, Ch. 3 News covered the disability conference, and viewers saw Sen. Jeffords walk, smile, climb stairs, read his speech, and wave to a cheering crowd. He looked like a lot of guys in their seventies look — slowing down — but he looked and sounded “capable.� “Does he do fewer press interviews? Sure. Why? Because he’s retiring, and that’s his prerogative,� said Jeezum Jim’s spokesman. Can we speak to him? Twenty minutes later, Jeezum Jim was on the line. Said he likes our nickname for him, too. Said he’d just returned from a big weekend family reunion in Montgomery. As for who will fill his Senate seat in January, Jeffords said, “I have a feeling Bernie will. We’ve worked together closely for many years.� Jeezum crow. He hasn’t lost all his marbles, has he? m

“Does what hurt?�
the straight dope
BY CECIL ADAMS
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Dear Cecil, I enjoy spreading lots of vinegar on my salads and other foods. I really think this makes my food taste so much better. My wife keeps pestering me to stop using so much vinegar, contending that the acetic acid will hurt my digestive system. So, for the sake of family harmony: Is consuming so much vinegar bad for my health? How much is too much? I have been enjoying vinegar for many years (decades) without any problems and would like to continue. Bernard Freedman, Scarsdale, New York I’m pretty old-school in culinary matters — while I admit a little balsamic has its place in salad dressing, my main thought about vinegar is that it’s what you use when you’re out of Windex. However, times being what they are, I knew there was bound to be a vinegar fan club. Sure enough, I find enthusiasts recommending everything from chugging cold vinegar first thing in the morning to warm vinegar enemas. By comparison to some of these people, Bernie, your devotion to vinegar borders on the prim, and I’m guessing that if sipping the stuff for 20-plus years hasn’t burned holes in your gullet, it probably won’t. Still, here’s what could happen if you ever decide to really go nuts. The main active ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid, which is formed when certain bacteria oxidize ethyl alcohol. You can make vinegar from just about anything with alcohol in it, such as wine, apple cider or fermented rice or malt. Acetic acid is a pretty good antiseptic, cleaner and solvent that you normally wouldn’t think about drinking, but at low levels your body can tolerate it. The reported 50 percent lethal oral dose for acetic acid (for those dozing last time this came up, that means the amount that kills half the party) is about 3310 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Scaling that up to a 70-kilo human, we get an LD-50 of about 232 grams, or just over half a pound. Given that most vinegar is less than 10 percent acetic acid by volume, you’d have to toss back more than a half-gallon to reach the fatal threshold. Not likely, I suppose, but some have come close. A few gleanings from the journals: • A German report tells of a woman who attempted suicide by drinking about 400 milliliters of 25 percent acetic acid — roughly the same amount you’d find in a quart of strong vinegar. The result wasn’t pretty — hemolysis (rupture of red blood cells), kidney failure and severe internal burns. She recovered, but from the standpoint of
confirming the above projected LD-50 (some have caviled that my estimates in this regard are too casual), I note that my number is apparently in the ballpark, and if anything is too high — the authors claim the amount the woman drank is normally lethal. • From Hong Kong we learn of a woman who thought she had a piece of crab shell stuck in her throat and drank rice vinegar to soften it up — evidently a soft-headed folk remedy in those parts. She suffered caustic burns of the esophagus, and no, the crab shell (if that’s what it was) didn’t dissolve. • A report from Austria tells of a cider vinegar fan who developed hypokalemia (low potassium levels), hyperreninemia (a condition caused by overactive kidneys that can lead to high blood pressure and other problems), and osteoporosis. A physician friend of mine has seen hypokalemia in a patient who took cider vinegar as a health supplement. What about those vinegar pills the cool kids are popping nowadays? Medscape lists the adverse effects of one brand as irritability, nervousness and palpitations and less frequently anorexia, constipation, gastrointestinal irritation, headaches, “hypersecretory conditionsâ€? (don’t know and ain’t asking), vertigo and vomiting. To be fair, a University of Arkansas investigation of a claimed esophagus injury due to cider vinegar pills not only found “considerable variabilityâ€? in the pills’ acidity, but expressed doubt “as to whether apple cider vinegar was in fact an ingredient in the evaluated products.â€? Many health claims for vinegar, e.g., that it will cure cancer or extend your life, are dubious, to say the least, but a few may be legitimate. For example, research suggests that 2 tablespoons of vinegar taken in pretty much any form before a meal may help type-2 diabetics and those developing the disease control after-dinner spikes in blood sugar. More generally, a Swedish study found that vinegar was successful in increasing the “satiety ratingâ€? of foods, making them seem more filling and thus potentially helping with weight loss. Dunno if you’re evidence for or against that proposition, Bernie, but who knows? Maybe you’re on the cutting edge. CECIL ADAMS

ell me again how you ended up at the strip club,� the woman said, in the manner of a prosecuting attorney questioning an opposing witness. She was slender and short, particularly in comparison to the hulk of a man sitting beside her. “I want to hear it, I really do.� The couple in the back of my taxi was going through a “thing,� and I was privy to it. Funny how people riding in a cab will air their dirty laundry, speaking freely as if the total stranger behind the wheel wasn’t taking in every word. Sometimes I feel like the Invisible Cabdriver. “What’s the point?� the man asked. Both he and the woman were speaking with a slight French-Canadian accent. It was the week of the Jazz Festival, which had drawn tons of tourists to town, including many of our friends from the north. “You can’t seem to grasp the situation, so why bother?� In the rear-view mirror, I watched the woman shift in her seat and shoot her partner a look like a flash from an arc welder. Her diminutive size notwithstanding, it was clear she was not consigned to a submissive role in this relationship.
Men, I’ve found, are keen to change the subject when doing battle with their wives. Particularly when their wives are right. “OK, here it is,� the man began. “Martin is taking the divorce very badly. You know this. I’m his oldest friend in the world, and I’m trying to console him. He wants to go to the strip club, so what am I going to say, No, Martin, my wife wouldn’t like it? Is that what you would have me do?� “Uh . . . yes,� the woman replied, and despite my knee-jerk sympathy for the husband’s point of view, his wife’s concise rejoinder cut right to the chase. It’s all really a matter of priorities: Whose sensitivities do you put first — your wife’s or your idiot friend’s? Silence ensued as we crested the Main Street hill en route to the Comfort Inn. Suddenly the guy leaned forward in his seat and said to me, “We saw Ahmad Jamal tonight. What a brilliant keyboard player, a real virtuoso.� Men, I’ve found, are keen to change the subject when doing battle with their wives. Particularly when their wives are
right, which, in my experience, is 90 percent of the time. Before I had a chance to chime in, the man added, “Didn’t you think so, honey? Wasn’t the band great?� The woman slowly — and with just the right touch of drama, I felt — pivoted in her seat to face her husband, chin in hand. She then nodded a few times, and dubiously eyeballed him from head to toe, as if he were a particularly absurd and distasteful work of modern art. Ahmad Jamal was clearly the last thing on her mind. “Robert,� she said, now calmly and evenly, “do you know what the thing is? It’s not the strip club. You can drool over balloon breasts all day long if it makes you happy. It’s that you lied to me. You didn’t tell me where you and Martin spent the evening.� I thought to myself, Isn’t this always the case? It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup. You’d think that by now every man in the world would have absorbed the lessons of President Clinton’s Lewinsky debacle. I recalled a bumper sticker I’d seen the previous week: Men are idiots and my husband is their king. “I didn’t lie to you,� Robert countered. “I just didn’t tell you. There’s a difference. And, anyway, I did tell you. I mean, eventually.� A whining tone had crept into his voice, a bad sign for his position in the scrimmage. Plus, he had sunk to arguing sins of omission vs. sins of commission, truly scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as I’m concerned. To her credit, I thought, his wife didn’t dignify this malarkey with a response, which drove him to even lower depths. “OK, that’s the way you want it?� he continued, the whining now devolving into facetiousness. “That’s fine. I can do that. From now on, I’ll just keep quiet about everything.� With this transparently childish remark, Robert had brought things to, one would hope, the nadir of this argument. As a longtime observer of marital discord, this couple’s conflict struck me as none too serious. Yes, they were contending with the always-central issue of trust and honesty. But you could sense a deep love between them even as they fought it out. It was hard to detect amid the harsh exchange of words, but it was palpable nonetheless. Pulling up to the entrance of the hotel, I hoped the Comfort Inn would live up to its name. They could use it. m “Hackie� is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

Curses, Foiled Again A bank-robbery attempt in Kumagaya, Japan, ended when the 58-year-old would-be robber asked a teller how to go about it. The teller alerted another employee, who escorted the man from the bank. “He left quietly when asked to,” a police official said, adding that the escort called police after noticing a knife sticking out of the man’s pocket and a bloodstain on his trousers. “He didn’t brandish the knife at anyone,” the police official told Reuters news agency, “but he injured himself in the leg.” • Police named Christopher J.

neath propels the chair up the ramp’s guide rails. At the top, the chair stops instantly, and the person continues in an upward trajectory to land safely on top of the building. The DARPA patent suggests that a computer could calculate the correct angle and speed of the launch.
Things That Go Bang Authorities in Orange County, Fla., arrested Marjorie Thompson, 44, after she ran outside her house with a bottle rocket launcher and began shooting fireworks at a sheriff’s helicopter flying overhead. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the helicopter, which was searching for a car-theft suspect, was annoying the woman.

town Fairbanks, Alaska. The desk clerk told police that when he entered the building, he saw a man leaving with panties on his head. Awhile later, a bartender called police to report that a man had walked into the bar wearing panties on his head. The building clerk identified Runnion, who had the woman’s purse and jacket on him.
• Authorities at El Salvador’s La Esperanza prison near San Salvador arrested visitor Lidia Alvarado, 44, for trying to smuggle marijuana and an M-67 military grenade to two inmates by stuffing them inside her vagina. The cylinder was about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide and in working condition.
Bust Trusters During a Brainstorm of the Week The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has come up with a way to shoot troops, police officers and firefighters onto the roofs of tall buildings in a matter of seconds. New Scientist magazine said that, according to the plan, a ramp with side rails is placed on the ground at an 80-degree angle to the building. A person then sits in a chair, like a pilot’s ejection seat, attached to the ramp. Compressed air from a cylinder under-

Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) proclaimed June 7 as “National Women’s Confidence Day,” actress Queen Latifah appeared on behalf of a “self-esteem” effort that the YWCA is launching with the support of Curvation, makers of plus-size lingerie. “You’d be surprised,” Latifah told the Washington Post, “how simply wearing the right bra can affect confidence.” • Actress-dancer Alice Alyce, 29, filed a
$100 million lawsuit against the owners and managers of the touring company of the Billy Joel musical Movin’ Out in Coral Gables, Fla., claiming that they fired her because they thought her breasts had grown too large for her role. Even though the suit did not name Billy Joel, Alyce said she was disappointed that the entertainer hadn’t contacted her in person about it, adding, “I do hope he calls me.”
Live Free or Puff Away New Hampshire joined four other states by requiring that all cigarettes sold in the state be self-extinguishing. The smokes’ special paper won’t burn unless the smoker keeps drawing in air. After the law takes effect in October 2007, retailers who sell ordinary cigarettes face fines up to $1000 per sale.
Less Sex, More Chat Prostitutes in the Brazilian city of Salvador obtained government permission to start their own radio station, not to talk dirty and attract customers but to discuss human rights, social, health and sexual-abuse issues. Some programs will be about the trade, according to Sandro Correia, project coordinator at the Association of Prostitutes of Bahia state, who told Reuters, “We are not going to apologize for prostitution.” Working girls and media professionals, such as Correia, will staff the station, Radio Zona, so prostitutes can learn an alternative job.
Adding Insult to Injury A German court in Munich ordered a 47year-old man who tried to kill himself by jumping in front of a train to pay for the damage that he caused. A court official said that the man leapt too late to land under the train and instead crashed through the side window of the driver’s compartment. He suffered head wounds. The driver of the train, meanwhile, suffered shock and was unable to work for several weeks. The court ordered the man to pay half the cost of repairing the train and the driver’s lost wages. Get the Message? Mary Wohlford, 80, of Decorah, Iowa, had the words “DO NOT RESUSCITATE” tattooed on her chest to make her medical wishes clear, but at least one doctor thinks that isn’t enough to stop medical personnel. Dr. Mark Purtle of the Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines told the Des Moines Register that state law defines when caregivers are permitted to end lifesustaining measures, and a tattoo isn’t enough. Wohlford noted that she also has a living will hanging on the side of her refrigerator.
Basic Needs Authorities arrested Troy Anderson, 72, the mayor of Waldron, Ark., on charges that he sought sex from two women who were late paying their water bills. One of the women told investigators she had been having sex with Anderson for eight to 10 years, explaining that he paid her $25 per encounter and $60 for a late water deposit.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB
Lord of the Ring
A NAME JOB LOCATION
IMAGE Jordan Silverman
t just 24, Kennon Eli Young has seen both sides of the marriage sacrament: couples flush with impending vows, requesting custom rings, and divorcees seeking the value of their dissolved union. The Burlington native is a jeweler and a gemologist, with some of the most sparkling credentials in the state — a graduate degree from the Gemological Institute of America, courses from the Kennon Eli Young Rhode Island School of Design, and Jeweler and gemologist accreditation with both the American Burlington and International Society of Appraisers. Young, who has 20/24 vision and the steady hands of a coffee teetotaler, is also training to become one of only 46 “master gemologist appraisers” in the world. Young’s own fingers are wedding-band-free: He’s single. (Though a girlfriend gets to keep some of his work.) With wedding season in full swing, Seven Days found Young and his rock collection in Burlington’s Kilburn & Gates building and popped him a few questions. SEVEN DAYS: How did you get into jewelry making? KENNON ELI YOUNG: I was always good at science, so I started making simple silver rings and stuff at Mount Mansfield Union when I was in high school. Here’s my very first piece. I wanted to make a bee, but I never got around to his wings. So it’s an ant, maybe, with a stinger? SD: Or maybe a six-legged dog? Anyway, what kind of pieces are you making today? KEY: I work in gold, silver and platinum, copper, brass. I’m just starting a line of jewelry called Tatuq, for tattoo parlors, where people go in and spend large sums of their income on tattoos, but right now the jewelry is low quality. One of my pieces is a zombie arm keychain; it hangs out of your pocket like a zombie rising from the grave. SD: Hmm, a little creepy. So . . . some of my friends are trying to decide between different metals, like platinum and white gold. What’s your take? KEY: Platinum is pretty much superior all around, save for the price. Platinum is about $1200 an ounce, gold’s about $600. But if
you’re looking for a ring that’s going to last you forever, platinum would be the way to go. SD: What percent of your business is making jewelry? KEY: About 40 percent. Mostly what I do here is appraisals, by appointment. I’m one of two accredited appraisers here in the state of Vermont, and in the top 5 percent in the U.S. SD: How do you get that distinguished status? KEY: With accreditation. You can get a tile from Home Depot and write your name on it with “Gems and Jewelry Appraiser.” But with accreditation, you not only know the markets and what gives value, but also you’re being held to standards and codes of ethics. SD: What would be some examples of unethical behavior? KEY: There are a million. Never get an appraisal from someone who sold you the piece, or buys and sells estate jewelry, or charges a percent of the appraised value. And this is how to never get ripped off at the jewelry counter: You say, “I really love this piece, but I would really like to make sure that you’re offering it to me for a good price and that it is what you’re telling me.”
You’re going to need the appraisal for insurance anyway. And 99.8 percent of all sapphires and rubies in the United States are treated. SD: I’m not showing you my engagement ring, then. It’s got sapphires. KEY: Don’t be scared by treatments, because furniture is stained before it’s sold. Some treatments are really evil, but some are just heat treatments. SD: Evil treatments? KEY: Yeah, like, beryllium diffusion. Or laser drilling, palmer impregnations, tons of them. Basically, you can take a brown stone that’s worth about 50 cents a carat and go through these heavy treatments and then price it at $600 a carat or upward. SD: Do you get lonely, working by yourself in here? KEY: No, I have my gems to keep me company. SD: How much competition do you have in Chittenden County? KEY: The only other accredited person, as far as I know, is Gail Nelson in Quechee. Great gal, I love hanging out with her. SD: So what do appraisers do when they hang out? KEY: Oh, if you could hear my gemology friends and me, throwing out gemological jokes — just the biggest dorks. I have a rock collection; I have a microscope. I love being a dork. But I also rock climb. I have a sailboat. I take flying lessons, play Frisbee and go snowboarding in winter. SD: How much are you traveling? KEY: I was in Greece and London last fall and I’m going to San Diego soon for a gemological symposium. It’s the fourth one in 30 years and it’s going to be absolutely incredi-
ble. My mentors helped me get a discount. This is one of the last professions that works through the apprentice system, which died out after the Industrial Revolution. Now people get out of college with no clue what to do. I have two mentors, one in San Diego and one in New York City. SD: Are there old fogies out there who say, “Aw, that kid doesn’t know anything?” KEY: Yeah, trying to get respect from other people at my age is a problem for me. It’s really frustrating. A marketer suggested that I grow a long beard and wear glasses. SD: What’s gemological school like? KEY: The requirements for graduating are pretty strict. We had to read a couple hundred pages a night and took tests every week. The final test is called the 20 Stone. It puts fear in the minds of gemologists. SD: Does the Northeast have any precious gems? KEY: There are the Gore Mountain garnet mines, near where the Hudson River starts. It looks like the cliffs are bleeding. SD: What are some of the biggest surprises you’ve found in your appraising? KEY: Well, the worst part of my job is telling people that their things are not real or have been heavily treated. That’s really sad for me, especially when they are really cherished pieces. SD: What are their reactions? KEY: Immediately they get mad at me. It’s not my fault! But some of the exciting things I find are when people come in with these boxes of costume jewelry and they’ll say, “It’s all worthless,” and I’ll pull out a piece of Bakelite and say, “This is a $700 piece.” There are treasures everywhere. m

W IMAGES Jeb WallaceBrodeur
hy didn’t the chicken cross the road? Because the State of Vermont wouldn’t let it. That was the joke flying around Waitsfield last week, where George Schenk, owner and founder of American Flatbread, got into a high-stakes game of chicken with state regulators from the departments of health and agriculture over the poultry he wanted to serve in his restaurant. Though Schenk blinked first before the feathers started flying, the dispute is far from resolved. In fact, his near-act of civil disobedience attracted so much public interest and support, it could mark the start of a full-blown revolution in the way Vermonters access locally produced foods. At issue: Schenk is a socially responsible restaurateur who’s committed to supporting sustainable family farming in Vermont. His eatery and frozen pizza business spend about $1 million a year on food, 80 percent of which is grown or raised by local, regional and/or organic farmers. (The Burlington restaurant of the same name is under different ownership.) However, state health codes don’t allow Schenk to serve in his restaurant meat that hasn’t been inspected, including the chickens he wants to buy from a farm directly across the road on Route 100. The farmers, Hadley Gaylord and his daughter, Connie, have a small poultry operation — too small to make it worth the expense of upgrading their building and equipment to meet state and federal requirements for an “inspected facility.” To market their chickens directly to restaurants and retail stores, the Gaylords would need to truck the birds to the nearest USDA-inspected slaughterhouse and processing facility, which is about two hours away in Springfield, Vermont. The
Gaylords, who raise fewer than 1000 chickens each year, say such an arrangement wouldn’t be economically feasible. Schenk, who founded American Flatbread 21 years ago, says he’s always abided by state health codes. This situation, he suggests, reveals a larger systemic problem: Over the years, state and federal rules and regulations have been put in place to benefit large, industrial food producers at the expense of small-scale family farms. “It struck me as fundamentally wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the system is broken,” Schenk explains. “Farmers like Hadley are producing the kinds of food we really need more of in Vermont. Instead of criminalizing their work, we should be honoring, respecting and celebrating their work.” So Schenk decided to take matters into his own hands. With the help of the farm advocacy group Rural Vermont and other local-food advocates, he announced that he was going to commit a public act of civil disobedience. He scheduled “The Chicken Event” for Friday, June 16, during which he planned to sell flatbreads made with chickens raised and slaughtered on the Gaylord Farm. The event would include several films, speakers and a public discussion about the future of small-scale sustainable agriculture in Vermont. Governor Jim Douglas and Agriculture Secretary Steve Kerr were both invited to attend. The Vermont Department of Health immediately cried foul. One day before the event, Schenk was issued an injunction, warning him that if he served the aforementioned chicken, he would be held in contempt of court and could lose his restaurant license. Though Schenk could have skirted the rules and bought

Gaylord’s chickens on the sly, he knew it wouldn’t address the larger issue at hand. During a teleconference on the morning of June 15 with Interim Health Commissioner Sharon Moffatt and Deputy Secretary of Agriculture David Lane, Schenk agreed to not serve the chicken. Moffatt and Lane also agreed to a follow-up meeting, during which they would take a closer look at this issue and discuss what could be done at the state level to promote better public access to locally raised, farm-fresh foods. As Moffatt explains, the health department is sympathetic to Schenk and Gaylord’s plights. But she says the state’s first priority must be the protection of public health. After all, uncooked poultry can harbor as many as 140 different varieties of microbial nastiness, including salmonella and E. coli. “When a consumer eats in a restaurant, they’re making a reasonable assumption that they’re dining in a facility that has meat and other foods that have been inspected and are safe,” Moffatt says. “We take those regulations very seriously.” Lane agrees. Under state law, farmers like Gaylord who raise fewer than 1000 birds are permitted to sell uninspected chickens directly to consumers at the farm, where customers are in a position to “make a rational and informed decision about the cleanliness of the facility.” The same can’t be said for patrons of restaurants, bed-and-breakfasts and grocery stores. Lane acknowledges that the dearth of poultry-processing plants in Vermont makes it challenging for small-scale chicken farmers to market their products, though he insists that “a resourceful farmer” can make it work. “I know that there are business models out there for poultry farmers to be successful in the small-to-medium market,” Lane adds. “I’m positive the market is there today, even without the restaurants and retailers. It won’t be easy, but it can be done.” One possible solution the Vermont Agency of Agriculture has considered is setting up an inspected, mobile chicken-processing facility, which could be mounted on a trailer and driven
from farm to farm, as is done in other states. Lane says the department already has the designs for such a unit — the estimated cost is about $70,000 — but so far, no entrepreneur has expressed interest in operating it. In the end, Schenk’s “Chicken Event” went ahead as scheduled — minus the white meat. It was a gorgeous Friday evening in the Mad River Valley, and Highway 100 outside American Flatbread was lined with dozens of cars in both directions. More than 150 supporters sat on the lawn behind the restaurant, drinking beer and wine, tossing Frisbees, enjoying the campfires, and listening to speeches delivered from the back porch. Though neither the governor nor the ag secretary showed, Assistant Secretary Lane and Director of Food Safety and Consumer Protection Carl Cushing both made an appearance, fielded questions from the public, and enjoyed some flatbread.
“It’s not just about us, the farmers across the road,” Connie Gaylord told the crowd. “It’s about all small farms . . . We just want to continue doing what we do.” Schenk also spoke and thanked his friends and patrons for their support. He then told a story about how he’s been “living with a ghost” from his past. When Schenk was a little boy, he used to visit his aunt and uncle’s farm in northern Vermont. It was a small, diversified family farm where, he recalled, the food was plentiful and delicious and the milk all came from cows whose names he knew. Though his aunt, uncle and cousins always had enough to eat, they were also very poor; Schenk’s father used to buy them 50-pound bags of flour “just to help out.” Schenk said he grew up believing that they had failed as farmers; later he realized the more sobering truth. “It wasn’t my aunt and uncle who failed,” he said. “It was we who failed them. A whole society simply stopped valuing farm-fresh food.” With American agriculture at a crossroads, Schenk seems intent on doing his part to save the family farm — even if it means crossing some lines do it. m

dence of grassroots anti-Saddam sentiment. In two pencil drawings by Iraqi artist Adnan Jasim, blindfolded prisoners bound together in contorted combinations writhe and scream as their club-brandishing torturers lurk darkly in the background. Another sheet by the same artist shows a male body suspended from ropes, all four limbs splayed upward at bonebreaking angles. Two deserters from Saddam’s army, their ears chopped off as punishment, stare plaintively at Schuerger’s camera in one of her slides. She also photographed a mural of a snake being strangled by an arm that’s tattooed with an American flag and positioned above a pile of skeletons. “Thanks to USA,” a painted inscription reads. Another mural shows Saddam with angel wings and a halo speaking at a lectern in front of rows of skulls and puddles of blood. Signs of simmering insurgency appear in some of Schuerger’s images as well. “No for USA” is imprinted on a mural in which a red-and-white-striped skull is being smashed by a fist emblazoned with Iraq’s Saddam-era flag. “Collateral damage” resulting from the U.S. invasion has a human face in a portrait of a boy burnt and scarred by a piece of American ordnance that had exploded when he picked it up.

seemingly conquered Iraq, hit-and-run resistance was mounting, even in places where Americans had been expected to be welcomed as liberators. Schuerger told her Ilsley audience about a street in predominantly Shiite Nasiriyah that U.S. troops had nicknamed “Ambush Alley.” The 41-year-old Marine Corps veteran now views the invasion as “a mistake based on false premises.” Even so, she adds, the occupation might have proven less calamitous had the Americans and their allies avoided “some ridiculous mistakes made early on.” She cites, for example, the failure to secure Iraq’s borders and
agreed to the suggestion that she study computer programming instead. That career direction led her to Middlebury College, which hired her in 2002 while she was still in the Marine Reserves. She says she was pleased to be returning to her native state after working for five years in Washington. “I’m single with no kids, but most of my family is in Vermont, and I wanted to be close to them,” says Schuerger, who now lives in Leicester. She was recalled to active service and sent to Iraq the following year. She returned to the United States, and her job at Middlebury, in October 2003, while
Massachusetts. “I’d thought about going to college, and I also wanted to get some job skills that I knew the military could provide,” she explains. Her choice of the Marines was purely happenstance, however. She says she went first to a Navy recruiting station but was repulsed by the clouds of cigarette smoke inside it. An Army recruiter handed Schuerger a CD, told her to watch it, and then walked away. At the Air Force office she visited next, “The guy behind the desk whined a lot,” she recalls. Schuerger was finally wooed and won by a Marine recruiter who firmly shook her hand and asked what skills she wanted to acquire. Language training is what she hoped to receive, but after signing up Schuerger was told that there were already too many women enrolled in those programs. She
to me than potential unfriendlies.” A Marine commander must sometimes decide in less than a second, “Do you ask questions first or do you use whatever is in your power to ensure the safety of your team?” Schuerger continues. “I wouldn’t be surprised if what happened in Haditha was that one person started shooting and after that it’s, ‘Oh, my God, it wasn’t what I thought it was.’” While it may be the least experienced soldier who opens fire in such a situation, she says, “The fault ultimately lies with the senior person who’s present.” Schuerger doubts that the recent death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida’s top figure in Iraq, will make a big difference in the course of the war. “Organizations like that,” she surmises, “probably have lots of other people who can replace a charismatic leader.” m

Re remaining in the Reserves. In 2005, Schuerger decided to quit the Corps entirely. It was her 16th year of service — four short of qualifying for a full military pension. “A number of things” led her to abandon her career with the Marines, she says, declining to elaborate. Drawing from her own combat-related experiences in Iraq, Schuerger says she can imagine how circumstances could culminate in a massacre such as the one a company of Marines allegedly carried out in Haditha last November. As a team leader, her main consideration in a dangerous situation “would be what was happening to my Marines,” she says. Secondarily, she adds, “Friendly Iraqis would be more important

the loss of U.S. control over Najaf after GIs encircled the city but neglected to prevent anyone from leaving. What policy should the Bush administration now pursue? “We need to get out of there,” Schuerger responds. “We do have a moral and legal obligation to at least return the power and water supply and sanitation to the way they were before the invasion. But we don’t have to make Iraq better by our own standards. And we can’t fix the security problem unless we leave and subsidize an international organization to restore order.” A native of Westminster West, Vermont, Schuerger enlisted in the Marines in 1988 when she was living in

The sacred stone circle will resemble those that dot the landscape in McBeth’s native England. Burlington’s Parks & Recreation department approved the unconventional use of the parcel with nary a hitch. Bob Whalen, Parks & Rec superintendent of planning and development, doesn’t recall meeting any Druids during the proposal process. But he notes that the project sailed through its commission review and mandatory neighborhood meeting. Such a warm reception, Whalen says, “seems very rare for Burlington.�

Even if the municipal green light signifies cosmic approval of the Earth Clock, McBeth says that he and his crew will need to raise roughly $40,000 more to meet the $65,000 total cost before the city will permit them to hoist a dozen or more 3- to 10-ton granite slabs into place. The inside diameter of the Burlington Earth Clock would measure 16 megalithic yards — or roughly 44 feet — and the stones forming the circle would stand about 5-feet-6-inches, framing sunset views behind the Adirondack Mountains across the lake. Think Stonehenge with nearby tennis courts and playground. Or don’t think — at least not in the mundane, rational sense.

IVAN MCBETH sacred.� And in Druid terms, “sacred� means the spirit of the Earth. Maintaining this rapport with nature was the task carried out by Druids of old — the priestly class of ancient Celtic societies in Britain and Europe a couple of millennia ago.� For the laptop-packing, 21st-century cyber-Druid McBeth, that’s still the Druid’s job. “A Druid learns how to silence his own thoughts and communicate with nature in a way that is not recognized by science,� he says, adding that today’s Druid can be of any gender, race or religion. In the realm of spirituality, scientific validity holds less sway than does the strength of one’s beliefs. Yet, according to Adrian Ivakhiv, professor in the University of Vermont environmental program and UVM’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, Druidry is real and thriving. Ivakhiv, also coordinator of the graduate program in environmental thought and culture, has done scholarly research on eco-based religious groups. He notes tremendous growth in Druidry in Britain over the past few decades. In North America, Ivakhiv

sees Druidry as part of a larger movement of Earth-centered spirituality, which by his estimate includes hundreds of thousands of believers. Pagans would be part of that population, along with Druids and others trying to reconstruct connections with ancient Celtic traditions.
embraced his deep drive to encounter a place that exists beyond the rational, known world — “the place where the spirit lies,� as he describes it. The shamanic path was revealed to him, and he still walks it: “The unknown is a huge place that I want to map,� he says. “I want to bring my knowledge
People are looking for some kind of connection to the Earth or the landscape around them. We don’t really have societally recognized ways of making that connection. ADRIAN IVAKHIV, UVM “I think we’re living in a time when people are looking for some kind of connection to the Earth or the landscape around them,� Ivakhiv notes. “We don’t really have societally recognized ways of making that connection. Land is a commodity, property — not necessarily a place where spirits dwell.� How accurately today’s Druids emulate their ancient forebears is uncertain, Ivakhiv says. The archaeological record of ancient Druidry is sketchy, and written records were largely the work of non-Druids. But this doesn’t invalidate contemporary Druidry in his eyes. “Certainly it’s a bona fide movement — real people doing things that they believe are valuable,� he says. “We need to judge them in terms of whether their beliefs or practices have harmful effects on others. And, in this case, I don’t think there’s anything like that.� Ask McBeth about potential harmful effects of stone circles and he may show you his calloused hands. The native of Devon, in southwest England, has helped raise 10 sacred circles in locales as far afield as Britain, Australia and Canada. He’s had this passion throughout most of his 53 years. As a lad, McBeth was intrigued by Chalice Well, an ancient holy well in Glastonbury, where he attended boarding school in the early 1970s. His interest in things mystical and mysterious soon eclipsed his interest in formal education. He dropped out of university after less than a year and went to live among wanderers and seekers in the Sinai Desert. There he experienced an awakening that would profoundly alter the course of his life. Alone on a sand dune, with the starry night sky above and a noisy kibbutz behind, McBeth sensed an imaginary “gateway� just ahead, on the other side of which was the dark unknown. This was his “bird of freedom� coming to light, he says, offering him a chance at transformation. In that moment he
back to share with other people who also want to make their own journeys into the unknown.� Enter the Druid. In 1987, after traveling in India and elsewhere, gleaning wisdom from Hindu, Buddhist, Native American and other spiritual traditions, McBeth co-founded the Oak Dragon organization, a group based in Wales that’s dedicated to educating people in alternative subjects, such as sacred spaces, healing, spiritual paths, music and dance. Working with Oak Dragon, he developed teaching skills and began his Druid training. He leveraged those skills to run Druid camps for the Englandbased Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, a group boasting roughly 8000 members worldwide. In 2001, McBeth was invited to participate in a stonebuilding workshop in Plattsburgh, New York, where he fell in love with the U.S. — and with a woman named Fearn. They’re now married and share a cabin “off the grid� in the forests of Worcester, Vermont. In April this year, McBeth launched a Druid training program based in a Druid village — three geodesic domes around a fire pit — that he set up in Orange. The program takes three years to complete, with each grade — Bardic, Ovate and Druid — requiring one year of study each. McBeth’s first class of Bards has 15 pupils. The curriculum involves a camp-like residency one weekend per month. In between, students work independently on varied tasks. One ongoing homework assignment involves getting to know their own communities through Druid eyes. “What I’m training my bunch to do is to tune in to their local area — big stones, important trees, the rivers and the streams,� McBeth says, “to find out in an intimate way how their local area works, and then to spend time with it to make it work better.� That might entail fishing an auto battery from a stream, or

Ovates look inward, focusing on transformative healing processes to clear away obstacles that impede their flow of life force, and connect them more directly with the Earth spirit. Ovate rites include firewalking and symbolic burials. “They dig their own graves,â€? McBeth says. “They have to experience the shamanic death. They say goodbye to their old self and step into a new self that’s in alignment with the Earth.â€? In their final year, Druids begin to interact with the outside world, using their wisdom and acquired skills to recognize, preserve and create sacred space in their own communities.

McBeth’s book, The Crystal Journey: Apprentice to the Earth, can be ordered through his website. Like some prophecies, maybe the stone circle will be self-fulfilling. As Parks & Rec’s Whalen notes, the site could offer a great opportunity for people to “get away from the city environment for a few minutes, and hopefully get in touch with nature and the changing seasons and have some reflection time.â€? That would be fine with McBeth, who relishes tuning in to the deep secrets of nature the ancients grasped. “I’ve lived an everyday life, and I was only half-alive,â€? he says. “As I journey in the unknown, I come alive.

Mother of All Lawn Ornaments Contemplating visions of Mary — in plaster, stone and plastic
M STORY & IMAGES
CATHY RESMER
ary, the mother of Jesus Christ, is said to have miraculously appeared to the faithful on many occasions since her death nearly 2000 years ago. In 1994, her visage even popped up on a grilled-cheese sandwich; its owner sold it on eBay a decade later for $28,000. But there’s no reason to wait for a glimpse on a piece of toast of the woman Roman Catholics refer to as the Blessed Virgin Mary (or
BVM) — images of her abound worldwide, including in Vermont. The most common sightings occur while driving. For whatever reason, statues of the BVM are popular lawn ornaments among the faithful. She is often cloaked in blue, and is sometimes situated in a grotto — that is, a half-buried bathtub covered with stones, or a scalloped cove reminiscent of a large clamshell. Perhaps Mary’s ubiquity
arises from the Roman Catholic belief that she is an intercessor, a conduit through whom believers can access the power of her divine Son. Christians of all kinds — Muslims, too — believe that Mary of Nazareth existed, and that she gave birth to Jesus Christ. But veneration of Mary is primarily associated with the Catholic Church. They’ve got more than one Mary prayer, but the most common is the “Hail Mary,”
in which penitents beseech her to “pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.” You don’t have to pray to Mary to see something divine in these odd roadside statues, or in the many similar, more stately sculptures found in local cemeteries. Their haunting allure is undeniable. True, BVM statues are often pockmarked, stained or disfigured by mold. The paint on Mary or her grotto may be peeling. But is that such a surprise?
This is supposedly a woman who witnessed her own son’s crucifixion, and who bears the psychic weight of a vast multitude of our transgressions. It seems fitting that her otherwise ageless face should be cracked and scarred. It’s even logical that she should appear among cheap, secular baubles and trinkets. It may seem tasteless, but these displays actually emphasize Mary’s humanity and humble nature. She was a woman, not
a god. She gave birth in a manger. Seen from different angles, the BVM can seem to have different expressions: resigned, hopeful, pensive, even proud. But unlike the hierarchical church, she never appears to be judgmental. Mary is an approachable emissary, often reaching out her arms and inviting all to come closer. The men who run the church could take a few lessons from this mother. m

moment, as well as different types of actual meditation. In college, I began to meet people who had made the conscious choice to study and practice Buddhism as adults. I was surprised to realize they had a far better grasp of the tradition. I may have learned how to meditate at age 7, but I’ve never known much about the roots of the religion. I was just kind of steeped in it. My parents, Catherine and Dale Hinchey, met at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. Karmê ChÜling is the reason my family came to Vermont, and why we stayed here. My folks still live in Barnet, on land they bought during the year we were living at the center. But why, and how, did they become so interested in Buddhism that they were willing to arrange our lives around it? I decided to get their side of the story.
MEGHAN DEWALD: What was spirituality like for you, growing up? CATHERINE HINCHEY: I was raised Methodist. My family went to church every Sunday . . . About high school, I remember editing the sermons, or even the communion, in my own mind. Where they THE AUTHOR’S FAMILY, FREBRUARY 1985 would say, “Oh, we’re not worthy to come to your table,� or “We’re not good enough,� anything where there’s something the matter with us, as humans, that didn’t quite set with me for some reason . . . It wasn’t until college that I started exploring different kinds of Protestant religion. I didn’t really go outside of that ’til I met your dad. DALE HINCHEY: I was in the United Church of Canada. We used to go to church every Sunday as a family. It seemed to be hollow and sort of empty. People were paying lip service to the religion, but they weren’t really practicing it.
I may have learned how to meditate at age 7, but I’ve never known much about the roots of the religion. I was just kind of steeped in it.
it had developed into a sprawling complex of buildings that housed more than two dozen permanent staff, plus visitors who came for weekend or weeklong programs. This seemed completely normal to me, and even after we’d left the center, it didn’t strike me as weird that we’d lived in such an intensely spiritual place for a chunk of my childhood. “Practice� defined a way of living mindfully, in the

MD: Mom, how did you first become aware of Buddhism? CH: Through a psychology professor who encouraged me in a motivation course. I began researching the ways people are spiritually motivated. One book that really struck me was by Ram Dass. It had something about the Christian phrase, “If you have the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.� He explained that doesn’t mean that all you need is a tiny bit of faith and you can do anything. It’s that even with a little bit of faith, you can become one with the mountain, and then, you just move. And I thought, “Wow.� MD: What did you think of KCL the first time each of you visited? CH: I was surprised that you couldn’t leave your things lying around, or they might get taken. Not that it was stealing, but it might be considered “an offering,� community property, and they would go missing. But it was just an incredible experience. There were speakers coming all the time, and it was so much easier to practice. You had duties, but the space for meditating was set up all of the time.
MD: What made you decide to live there, for a summer and then a year? CH: We were at a place in our life on Cape Cod where I wasn’t terribly tickled with my job, and he wasn’t really getting where he wanted to in his job, either. So he asked, “Where would you like to go?� And I said, “Well, I’d like to go to Naropa [University] in Boulder.� MD: To study psychology there? CH: Yeah, I was going to get another Master’s degree . . . I got accepted there, and then I was going to do a weekend program at KCL. He was going to finish the packing, then come up and do a monthlong meditation intensive at KCL. I took you guys up to Canada to visit relatives, and when we got back to Vermont, he said, “I don’t know. How about we live here, instead of going to Colorado?� MD: What was it like for you to move into a monastic center with two kids ages 5 and 7? CH: Well, the hardest part for me was that a lot of times you guys didn’t want to go to child care. You wanted to hang out with me. I was torn between stuff I had to do, and you didn’t want to get with the program. MD: It was particularly hard for us because we knew you were in the same building.
CH: I guess, but there was also this whole culture that didn’t accept families anyway. We had to arrange for the cooks to make an early breakfast before you went to school. We had to kind of fight for this stuff. MD: Are there any things that you liked about being at KCL with a family? CH: It was a chance to really expose you guys to the whole thing on a very organic level, without really having to grab you and make you do sitting practice. It was just in the atmosphere. You kind of just breathed it in. MD: Describe the situation around Dad going to seminary at the Rocky Mountain Dharma Center in Colorado and us leaving KarmĂŞ ChĂśling. CH: Well, it was the first year they’d had it at [that location], and they said that children would be difficult to accommodate . . . I didn’t want to stay at KCL by myself, as a single mom without extra help, so I packed up the room and took you guys to Cape Cod for the summer. Then I got this note at the end of the summer, from one of the directors of the center. It said something like, “We welcome you as members of the neighboring community,â€? but the message was very clear that there was no room for us there anymore . . . Eventually we found a

MD: What’s your current relationship with KCL, and with dharma? CH: I don’t have a very strong relationship to KCL at this point . . . partly because the programs cost so much. I also feel like I’ve had so many practices given to me already. It is Friendly On-site Computer Support helpful to have a community of people around you, because it’s challenging to make space. But my experience of sitting practice is that all of a sudden things slow down and, miraculously enough, you find more time to get stuff done. So I fit it in, here and there. DH: For me, basically, the worldview is still the same. I don’t practice as much, but practice happens every day . . . I’ve made it a part of my life. MD: When we were kids at KCL, a teacher came and offered children’s refuge vows, and some of the other kids there at the time took them. We wanted to, but you wanted us to wait until we were older. Neither Dug nor I has actually taken refuge vows, and we’re now in our late twenties. Do you wish I was more involved? DH: I believe that your spiritual connection is your business, as a human being . . . You know what the path is, and you know why we’re on it. Life will create the circumstances for you to practice, or it won’t. I mean, that’s karma. CH: I wouldn’t feel horrified if you, you know, became Lutheran or Catholic, or Jewish, or something else. The bottom line is that there needs to be kindness in this situation. You can also practice Buddhist meditation and still belong to another religion. I went through my own thing, you know, hoping that Christ wouldn’t be mad at me that I was Buddhist, thinking that God would hate me, and then I realized that God was not as small as I had been taught. m

Born Again to Be Wild On the road with Motorcyclists for Jesus
he sight of motorcyclists in black leather traversing Vermont is common this time of year. Many of us imagine them as rebels, mavericks, members of biker gangs. But not all of them are Hell’s Angels. Some of STORY these dark riders are evangelical CATHY RESMER Christians biking for Jesus. Take Philip Guica: The affable, soft-spoken Pittsford resident is the IMAGE “Road Rep” for the Vermont MATTHEW Christian Riders. His group is a local THORSEN chapter of the Motorcyclists for Jesus Ministries, one of many Christian biker groups. Guica reports that MJM counts about 300 members; his chapter has about 20. According to the mission statement available on its website, MJM’s main purpose is “to lead and guide motorcyclists in the personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We endeavored to give positive direction and counsel on living under the authority of the power of God in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit.” Chapters organize TEAMs — that’s Telling Everyone About the Messiah — of two of more members to ride to various events. TEAMs attend Christian celebrations, but they also travel to non-religious biker rallies. At the annual Motorcycle Week in Laconia, New Hampshire, they distribute free Bibles and religious tracts. When Guica goes to rallies, he hangs a pamphlet rack from the back of his bike, offering tracts with titles such as “The Day of the Lord Is Coming” and “Heaven: How do you expect to get there?”
T
PHILIP GUICA
“We don’t push ourselves onto them,” he says of the other bikers, “but if they’d like to talk, we talk.” The goal of this outreach? “They just need to get right with Jesus,” Guica answers. One Sunday in late May, Guica has organized a ride to a bike blessing in Clarendon, New Hampshire. The riders begin gathering at 8:30 a.m. at a Denny’s parking lot in Rutland. I’ve arranged to ride with them. Guica arrives early on his black Honda Goldwing. From a distance, the Vietnam vet, who makes jetengine parts for General Electric, doesn’t look much different from your typical biker dude. He’s dressed in black leather pants and a leather vest, and wears a black POW/MIA bandana on his head. But a closer inspection of Guica’s attire reveals the large MJM logo — complete with cross and Bible — on the back of his vest, and the tiny metal fish dangling from the zipper
on the front. He has also attached several Christian patches. The largest and most striking bears the image of a metal spike stained with dripping red blood, a reference to the crucifixion. “My sin put him there,” it reads. Guica, who belongs to an Assembly of God church, and T.J. Mallen, a Granville, New York, resident who identifies himself as a Pentecostal, are the only two MJM riders who show up on this cloudy day for the trip to the blessing. They’re joined by five bikes carrying members of ARM, the Association of Recovering Motorcyclists, a group of post-addiction bikers. Many of them are also religious, and believe in “a higher power.” Like Guica, Mallen is a Vietnam vet. The gray-bearded tough guy is also sheathed in black, though he’s wearing nondescript, synthetic rain gear. He didn’t want to get his leathers wet, so he left them at home. But if his outfit lacks Christian
symbols, Mallen’s bike is sufficiently branded. Etched into the windshield is an elaborate rendering of the face of Jesus in front of three crosses. Jesus is weeping. Scripted in elegant calligraphy above the scene are the words, “Born to die that you might live.” Beside the crosses, the artist has drawn what looks like a Harley logo. It reads, “Jesus Christ, Son of God.” Mallen, a postal worker, has graciously agreed to carry me on his Honda. I feel a little uncomfortable about straddling a bike and clinging to a man I’ve just met, but I needn’t worry. The passenger’s seat on his bike is slightly elevated, and separated from the driver’s perch by a backrest. My seat even has armrests. Mallen sees me trying to guzzle my coffee before we set off and tells me I can bring it along. “I’ve got a cup holder,” he says. He offers me a helmet and plugs it into the bike’s radio, so we can talk on the way to New Hampshire. We

set off just after 9, with Guica out front. Once we’re under way, Mallen explains that he usually leads the group in a prayer before departure. Officially, he’s the group’s chaplain, but he also uses a different title — “I’m the prayer warrior,� he says. In lieu of leading a public prayer, Mallen confides that he said his own silent blessing, which he reveals to me. It begins, “You are the Supreme Father,� and ends, “We’re putting our life in your hands, and here we go.� I get the sense that his prayer is different every time. Guica, who grew up near Cavendish, leads our pack down remote two-lane roads with lots of curves. The morning is overcast and gray, but the sun manages to peek through occasionally. The breeze is cool but not cold. The lilacs are blooming. It’s a beautiful ride. When we stop for a rest in a parking lot in Reading, Vermont, I comment to Guica that tackling the open road on a Sunday morning sure beats sitting in a pew. “Sometimes our ministry takes us out of the church,� he says with a shrug. “Sometimes we don’t make it to church for two months at a time.� When we resume our ride, Mallen turns on the radio and plays gospel music over the bike’s speakers. He says that often, after a day’s work, he hops on his bike, cranks the gospel music to full blast, and rides home singing along at the top of his lungs.

A cheering crowd greets us a short while later on the Clarendon town green. Some of them are filming our arrival with hand-held video cameras. Most of the roughly 25 spectators have come from the Solid Rock Free Methodist Church, which is sponsoring the event. Congregants of all ages have come to meet us. They’ve set up tables to distribute coffee, donut holes and bottled water. We pull in alongside another group of bikers. There are a dozen motorcycles in all. After everyone has had a chance to grab some refreshments and make pit stops at the bathrooms across the street, the preacher climbs the steps of the bandstand. The bikers bow their heads. “Bless these motorcyclists as they ride to and from their houses,� the preacher intones. “Grant them patience as they deal with problems along the road.� Several other speakers take the stage, including Guica, but as the sky darkens, some of the riders begin to leave. After donning rain jackets, pants and rubber boots, our group departs. We’re headed to Springfield, to have lunch at the Royal
Diner and Corvette Museum. On the way, Mallen and I talk about God, life and the war in Iraq — he’s troubled by it. He tells me he became a Christian 12 years ago, after accompanying a friend to church. Now he doesn’t smoke or drink, and I don’t hear him swear on our trip, either. But he doesn’t seem particularly dogmatic. When the subject of homosexuality comes up, he says he’s got gay friends. “Who am I to judge?� he asks rhetorically. This attitude serves him well later in the afternoon. Halfway through our meal, two biker couples sit down in the booth next to us. The two men appear to be roughly the same age as Mallen and Guica, but they’re clearly not Christian bikers. The one closest to me wears patches on his jacket that read, “Try burnin’ this one, asshole!� beside an American flag, and “Don’t speak English? Get the fuck out.� Before long, the bikers are all talking. Turns out the two guys are veterans, too, and they all know some of the same motorcyclists. Guica and Mallen don’t bring up their affiliation with MJM — one of the other guys does. During a lull in their conversation, he asks, “So, you guys from CMA?� He’s talking about the Christian Motorcyclists’ Association, the country’s largest Christian biker group. “No,� says Mallen. “MJM.� “What’s that?� the biker asks. “Motorcyclists for Jesus Ministries,� Mallen replies. To my surprise, the biker says he once went to a bike blessing with some Christian riders. He and his girlfriend saw some bikes in a McDonald’s parking lot one day and stopped. Turned out it was some Christian riders going on a Run for the Son, so the couple joined them. The biker says he’s not a Christian — he was a hippie in the ’70s and “got into drugs� — but he prays to God every time he climbs onto his bike, to ask for safe passage. The two MJM reps nod. After Guica and Mallen settle the bill — Guica leaves the waitress a religious tract along with her tip — we get up to leave. The bikers bid us a friendly farewell. On the way back to Rutland, his voice barely audible over the rumble of the engine and the rush of air, Mallen observes that his ministry is all about building relationships with guys like them. At some point, they’ll go through a hard time and seek counsel. Mallen and his MJM peers hope they’ll turn to Jesus. “It’s about planting that seed,� he says. That and burning rubber. m

ister Claire Boissy radiates such a warm, healing aura that just sitting in her presence seems to lift the weight of the world from your shoulders. Look into her twinkling blue eyes and her STORY smiling, ruddy face and your muscles KEN relax, your pulse eases, your mind PICARD turns to more philosophical matters. And when she asks, in that gentle, IMAGE grandmotherly tone, “Where is God in STEFAN all this for you?” there’s not a trace of BUMBECK dogma or proselytism in her voice. Hers is a sincere entreaty about your The Institute day-to-day relationship with the divine for Spiritual — whatever “divine” means to you. Development The 67-year-old nun works as the sponsors a daylong coordinator of the administrative conference with Father Richard Institute for Spiritual Development in Rohr entitled Burlington. Founded in 1982 by Sister “The Challenges Judy Fortune, the Institute was set up of an Authentic Spiritual Life,” as a joint ministry of the Vermont Sheraton Hotel Sisters of Mercy and Trinity College of & Conference Vermont. Its goal, Sister Claire Center, South explains, is to provide spiritual guidBurlington, July ance to people who want to renew or 22, 9:30 a.m. 4:30 p.m. Info, deepen their spiritual life but aren’t necessarily “into” organized religion. 846-7081. As Sister Claire points out, 57 percent of Vermonters identify themselves as “unchurched” — that is, they’re unaffiliated with a religious congregation or house of worship. Although this puts the state’s per capita religiosity among the lowest in the nation, Vermonters also tend to describe themselves as spiritual people with strong personal connections to a higher power. “Vermonters have this independent spirit that carries over into their spiritual life,” Sister Claire explains. “We remind people that spirituality is for everybody. It doesn’t belong to the churches or the minister or the pastors or rabbis. It’s everyone’s life journey.” Sister Claire is a Roman Catholic, but she emphasizes that her role as a “spiritual director” at the Institute is not to urge people in the direction of one faith or belief system. Her job is to “walk beside people” as they discover their spiritual path. Like her fellow Sister of Mercy Ann Duhaime, and Sister Maureen Welch of the Ursuline Order, Sister Claire brings to the Institute a diverse intellectual and spiritual background. Brought up in a Roman Catholic household, she had relatives who were Southern Baptists, a great uncle who was a Mason, and family members on both sides who were Algonquin Indians. Sister Claire has studied yoga, Tai Chi and meditation, and she spent 22 years teaching world religions and human development at Rice Memorial High School in South Burlington. “Some of my friends say, ‘You’re a Sister of Mercy, you’re half Buddhist, you’re half Benedictine, and you’re half Oriental,” she jokes. “I think we need to be open to all the treasures out there.” The offices of the Institute for Spiritual Development are located in Burlington’s Hickok & Boardman Building on Shelburne Road, but its true spiritual center is found in the tiny Vermont town of Benson, about a mile and a half off a dirt road. This is the site of the Lumen Christi House, a
retreat nestled on 31 acres of secluded countryside in the lower Champlain Valley. Formerly a small Benedictine monastery, Lumen Christi overlooks a pond, pastures, woods and meadows. The bright and airy quarters serve as a haven for people of all faiths and backgrounds who are seeking peace, solitude and spiritual renewal. “Seeker” is a word often used to describe the people who come to Lumen Christi, though it may be the only characteristic its visitors have in common. Former drug addicts, excons and prostitutes have stayed there; so have rabbis, Buddhists and corporate CEOs. Though more women than men avail themselves of its programs, the house attracts the young and old, rich and poor, folks with decades of religious training or none at all. What unites them, Sister Claire explains, is a
tion; there’s virtually no talking the entire time. Sister Claire emphasizes that the Institute isn’t about promoting “spiritual dabbling — a little bit of this, a little bit of that.” Instead, it aims to help people connect with an authentic spirituality that’s meaningful to them on a daily basis. Among the 60 to 70 people who come to the Institute each month is “Terri,” (not her real name) of Charlotte. Terri says she first discovered the Institute for Spiritual Development in the early 1990s, at a time when she was searching for deeper meaning in her life. The 46-year-old mother of two was baptized as a Mormon, but never had any religious training or upbringing. Nevertheless, she says, “I always felt that yearning to find God in whatever way I could.”
“If I want to have a relationship with you, I have to spend time with you,” she explains. “If I want to have a relationship with God, I need to spend time with God.” Sister Claire emphasizes that that the Institute for Spiritual Development is not a crisis center, a social service agency or a counseling service; for those needs, the sisters will make referrals to other professionals. Because some spiritual searchers are facing other issues, the Institute’s staff has been trained to recognize the difference between “the spiritual dark night of the soul” and true clinical depression. Jo McClellan of Underhill has been involved with the Institute for more than 20 years. The 74-year-old McClellan was raised in a devoutly Catholic household. But, like Terri, she felt something was missing from her life.
With all the world events that are happening, they’re wanting an anchor, something to hang onto, something that will get them through all this. SISTER CLAIRE BOISSY
desire to discover, or reconnect with, their spiritual path. “More than ever, there’s an increasing spiritual hunger,” she says. “With all the world events that are happening, they’re wanting an anchor, something to hang onto, something that will get them through all this.” That “anchor” looks different from person to person. The Institute’s schedule reveals its holistic approach: “Reiki Training,” “Yoga Retreat,” “Advanced Centering Prayer,” “Meyers-Briggs Indicator,” “Spirituality in the Workplace.” A class called “Advanced Enneagram” explores the 4500-year-old Sufi belief system about the nine basic human personality types. Another offers a week of silent meditation and quiet contempla-
Now a recovering alcoholic, Terri says it never bothered her that the Institute was run by Catholic nuns. The sisters offered her spiritual guidance that was entirely nonjudgmental and unconnected to the tenets of their particular faith. “You can go to therapy, which is great, but you don’t get all the other pieces of the puzzle,” Terri says. The Sisters of Mercy are smart, gifted, empathic, compassionate and extremely intellectual women. “They get it,” she adds, “especially for someone like me, who’s got it all going on.” The biggest help, she says, was the training she received in “centering prayer,” a form of daily meditation that helped her develop a personal connection to a higher power.
“It’s so hard to describe. It was a yearning for something deeper than the surface things I had — church on Sunday, work in my parish,” she says. “They just hit that spot in me and provided me with a place that’s safe. You can be outside the box. You can also be inside the box. It’s that accepting of who you are as a person.” McClellan spent so much time at Lumen Christi that she was eventually hired as a weekend cook. Since then, she’s seen a wide range of people come through its doors. Among them is a group of women from Connecticut who take a retreat there once a year. Some are in drug and alcohol recovery, others are former prostitutes, parolees or victims of domestic or sexual violence.

I don’t hear any gunshots. No one’s pounding on my door.’. . . And they always go away refreshed and renewed. It’s such a healing house.� But the Institute for Spiritual Development isn’t just for the emotionally or psychically wounded. It’s also for people who want to get serious about their spiritual development. Among them is the Rev. Barbara Allen Purinton. For the last 17 years, Purinton has been pastor at the Richmond Congregational Church. Since 1991, Sister Claire has been Purinton’s “spiritual director� — someone Purinton goes to for spiritual guidance and grounding. With a congregation of 350 people, Purinton says it’s essential that she also tend to her own spiritual wellbeing. “I’ve discovered over the years that ministers need ministers. Having a spiritual director, for me, is about making sure I’m accountable for my own spiritual growth,� she says. “I can’t get up there on Sunday and tell people to listen to God if I’m not listening to God myself.� The Institute has been invaluable to Purinton over the last few years, she says, especially after her husband and daughter were called up for military deployments — Purinton’s daughter was sent to Kuwait, and her husband is the chaplain for Task Force Saber. He just returned from Ramadi, Iraq. Purinton, who is also one of the Institute’s 14 adjunct staff members, has spent a lot of time at the Lumen Christi House — including three weeklong, silent retreats. “It’s time to just be still. You don’t realize how much noise there is in our world,� Purinton says. “It’s time and space for things to be heard. Like the sound of a spoon stirring a cup of tea.� Though visitors come to the Institute from different backgrounds and are often traveling wildly divergent paths, they all seem to arrive at a common destination. “In that setting, I’ve sat in a circle with a Jewish woman, an Episcopal priest, a Catholic nun, a couple of Catholic lay people and someone who is unchurched, and we were all talking about the same thing,� McClellan says. “It boggles your mind that you’re all on this journey, and yet the religious boundaries don’t make any difference at all.� m

sound bites
BY CASEY REA
PSYCHED-OUT Last Thursday, I got a chance to see Brightblack Morning Light, a freaky musical group who combine slow-mo psychedelia with blissedout soul. Since I’d been really digging their self-titled Matador Records debut, I wasn’t about to miss their Higher Ground set. Turns out I was in the minority. The Showcase Lounge was like a ghost town when I arrived, and it stayed that way the whole night. I’m grateful to WRUV DJ, Seven Days music reviewer and high school student Max Resnik for providing some much-needed company. To say the place was completely empty is an exaggeration; a handful of folks was sitting in front of the stage during songstress Mairee Sioux’s opening set. They didn’t look familiar, though, and for good reason. Turns out they were all members of Lights, who performed immediately after. Guess it’s good ego insurance to tour with your friends. While it was cool that Lights were supportive of their buddies, I didn’t much care for their music. Loose in all the wrong ways, they looked like an AV Club who had their chocolate milk spiked with LSD. Resnik and I chatted through most of their set, which must’ve been off-putting for the poor souls onstage. It’s pretty tough when you can’t hold the attention of the two people in the “crowd.” Before BBL hit the stage, I smelled the unmistakable odor of burning sage. This helped set the psychedelic mood, as did the cardboard “rainbow specs” organist/vocalist Rachel “Rabob” Hughes handed Resnik and me prior to their performance. The music was enveloping, with guitarist/vocalist Nathan “Nabob” Shineywater serving up shimmering slide-guitar licks and otherworldly vocals. The band’s dual percussionists played sparsely, with a slow-building, tribal feel. While the performance was solid, Brightblack’s tunes have very little to differentiate them from one another. This is fine with a good book and a pair of headphones, but live, the band often veers into monotony. Resnik and I had a quasi-mystical experience, however. “I think I can see the guitar player’s aura,” he said to me towards the end of the set. “And it’s kind of green.” I had another look and, by God, I saw it, too.
VT FREAKS Dunno if any of you read the lead story in last Sunday’s New York Times Arts & Leisure section, but if you did, you learned a bit about Feathers, a Brattleboro-area psych-folk collective who are rising stars in the “New Weird America” scene. The article also mentioned such free-flag-flyin’ artists such as Devendra Banhart, Six Organs of Admittance and Joanna Newsom, to name a few. Well, allow me to claim some “cool kid” cred. Two years ago, I wrote a feature on Feathers for the Big Apple/Chicago-based Dusted Magazine. In the course of the story, the band speaks of music, magic and Machu Picchu. Check it out at http://www.dustedmagazine.com/features/344. The day the NYT piece was published, Feathers’ new publicist,

Howard Wuelf, shot me an email about the possibility of doing a profile. I informed him that I’d already written one. “It’s typical that mainstream media lags behind the underground by a couple years,” he wrote back. “It’s the initial coverage by folks like yourself that starts the ball rolling.” Yeah, but I’ll bet the Times pays more. I was lucky to catch Feathers’ performance at Radio Bean two winters ago. It was absolutely riveting. At that point I realized there was more to the group than dulcimers and patchouli. Keep your eyes right here for more updates on this bizarre, beatific band.
HOMECOMING QUEEN Talented multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Ari Bolles is swinging back through Vermont for a couple of dates with folksy singer-songwriter Rachel Ries. The two will perform together at Montpelier’s Langdon St. Café on Thursday, June 22, and Burlington’s Radio Bean on Sunday, June 25. Unfortunately, I’m gonna miss both shows; I’ll be hanging in San Francisco with Bolles’ old bandmate Arthur Adams. Bolles, who currently lives in Chicago, met Ries through mutual musical pal Neil Cleary, who ought to give me a dollar for every mention in this column. Not long after, she joined the last leg of Ries’ national tour, providing upright bass and vocals. It looks like she’ll be sticking around. “We’ve ARI BOLLES & been playing together since February-ish,” Bolles RACHEL RIES recently told me. “We opened for Mike Doughty once. That was scary, though, because it was only my second show [with Ries], and it was a sold-out crowd of SWALE more than 400 people.” Something tells me she did just fine. Ries’ MySpace page describes her sound as “prairie-swing/city folk.” That’s as good a description as any; the tunes I’ve heard combine heartland melodies with sweetly urbane lyrics. Head to http://www.MySpace.com/RachelRies to hear what I’m talkin’ about. Oh, and welcome back, Ari!
THEY WANNA ROCK! It’s that time of year again, and I’m not talking about pollen season. Burlington Parks & Rec’s annual Vermont Rock Music Camp is ready to confer expert knowledge upon tomorrow’s superstars. That is, superstars ages 11 to 17. Burlington’s 242 Main holds sessions July 24-28 and August 7-11. This year, organizers have added another week, July 10-14, at People’s Academy in Morrisville. A benefit for the camp takes place at Club Metronome on Thursday, June 22. Performers include Carrigan, Lowell Thompson, Zac Clark, Anti-Noc, Stealing From Thieves, From the Ground Up and Swale, who will also rock Parima the following evening. The Metronome show starts at 7 p.m. Böne Cöbra, an ’80s metal cover band featuring drum whiz Bobby Hackney Jr., take the stage at 11. Better break out the bullet belts and studded wristbands. You can catch the first set, or just Böne Cöbra, for $5. Admission for the whole night is $7. Check out http://www.rockmusiccamp.com for more info.

There’s a lot of turntable action going on in B-town this week. First up is Horrordrome, a “horror/gothic-inspired theme party” featuring DJs Hambone, Haitian and Doctaaa on Wednesday, June 21, at Club Metronome. The show also features a — gasp — live band, Panda Watch. But dance fiends shouldn’t worry; the group plays selfdescribed “disco trance.” Attendees are strongly encouraged to don “dark and sexy “attire, so leave those sandals and ball caps at home. To get a taste of what’s on deck, head to http://www.MySpace.com/ Horrordrome and http://www.MySpace.com/PWatch. But the beats don’t stop there. On Friday, June 23, local DJ crew Glamorama Inc. present Freakshow 3D, a two-floor dance party/art extravaganza taking place at Nectar’s and Club Metronome. The poster for the event promises “larger than life cartoon characters, yummy goodies, aliens, freaks, mermaids, fish and much, much more, all in surround sound and 3-D.” With peripherals like that, who needs club drugs?
RICK KEEPS ROCKIN’
WILL PATTON Vermont music veteran Rick Redington is fully committed to rock ’n’ roll. He and his band, The Luv Machine, recently embarked on a tour to the Big Apple, Virginia and Ohio. They’ll wrap up their roadwork with a Saturday, June 24, performance at Club Metronome. The show kicks off at 7 p.m. Redington has been “writing, singing and playing guitar since Jesus was a baby, and maybe even earlier,” according to the man himself. His band, which features keyboardist Chuck Miller, bassist Jeff Poremski and drummer Blake Gowan, serve up improvisational jams with singersongwriter structures. The title track of their last album, Mother Earth, was featured on a landmine survivor benefit disc that also included such big names as Widespread Panic, Natalie Merchant, Jorma Kaukonen and the String Cheese Incident. Maybe JELLO he’ll tour with one of those acts next BIAFRA time around.
DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS Seems I inadvertently made a couple of errors in last week’s column about the legal troubles facing Radio Bean. Here’s the correct info, courtesy of Burlington’s Assistant City Attorney Gene Bergman. In the blurb, I implied that Bean proprietor Lee Anderson had learned of possible further sanctions for the establishment at a June 1 hearing. While the penalties were certainly reiterated there, they were first provided in a notice of hearing sent to Anderson on May 8, according to Bergman. I also wrote that the venue was given a $200 ticket for violation of fire code. In actuality, it was a noise violation. That’ll teach me to trust hearsay. Two more reasons I didn’t go to law school. m

reviewthis O’HANLEIGH, OF IRISH CROSSINGS TOLD
MR. LIF, MO’ MEGA (Definitive Jux, CD) Boston hip-hop hero Mr. Lif has long rocked the underground with his politically charged lyrics and taut, agile flow. Lif sees conspiracy everywhere, with cabals of the wealthy and powerful preying on the underclass. His previous releases were full of nonconformist spirit, but his message was sometimes lost in abstruse wordplay. Lif’s latest, Mo’ Mega, is blunt, scathing and effective. Influential and progressive rap label Definitive Jux allows him a terrific platform to espouse his points of view. Production help from label chief and fellow artist El-P gives the disc a cutting-edge feel, with hardrock guitars rubbing elbows with traditional hip-hop elements, such as head-nodding beats and choice funk samples. Mo’ Mega kicks off with the tense “Collapse.� The song describes the tribulations of a steady-gigging rapper. “Sorry, baby girl, your man is out on tour / The floor might drop out if I don’t walk out / See, I think I might have just missed my own life,� Lif gripes. The dense mix of crunching riffs and paranoiac synth vamps contribute to the track’s agitated feel. “Brothaz� chronicles the despair of ghetto inhabitants around the world. Lif is at his best when attacking powers of oppression, and here he unloads with both barrels. “Fact one: America don’t give a fuck about you, so get off it / I’m not a prophet, they just want the profit / They make you want it, so you cop it, and soon you can’t stop it,� he fumes. “Fact two: Darfur’s in a state of emergency / It’s genocide, Code Red Classified / If this was Kosovo, it’d be over, bro.� The man’s got a point. Lif’s anti-consumerist invectives continue with “The Fries,� a darkly comedic look at mindless convenience. “They swerved into the curb with their heads on the steering wheel / Kids blacked out in the back with a fuckin’ Happy Meal / what a crappy deal / but it was only $4.99 / So there’s more people in line,� he raps over fuzzed-out guitars and a stuttering rhythm. The album features a few notable guest appearances, including Aesop Rock’s stream-of-consciousness rant on “Take, Hold, Fire!� and Murs’ feisty turn on “Murz Iz My Manager.� The latter, while still political, is somewhat lighthearted in tone. Mr. Lif lays bare the ugly aspects of modern living while illustrating the disparities between rich and poor. His high-powered intellect acts as a cultural microscope, bringing various societal ills into sharp relief. Mo’ Mega is just what hip-hop needs these days: strong insights and unflappable conviction.
CASEY REA
(Self-released, CD) The songs and styles of Irish music are pretty much set in stone, making innovation a bit of a challenge. But Middlebury’s O’hAnLeigh give it a go on their first album, Of Irish Crossings Told. The CD has garnered strong reviews from as far as Ireland, Australia, the Netherlands and Belarus. But Ăźber-traditionalists, take note: Only two of the 14 cuts feature any “rum-dum-dilly-ohs.â€? O’hAnLeigh came together at a St. Patrick’s Day party in 2002, when veteran bar-band rocker Tom Hanley asked his then-12-year-old daughter Becca to join him for a few numbers. The collaboration went over so well, they decided to continue. Fiddler/singer Cindy Hill — who also contributes bass, banjo, whistles and assorted percussion — joined the following year. Of Irish Crossings Told is full of lively numbers about Irish-American living. Occasionally the individual instruments don’t mesh well, and the playing gets a bit ragged. Still, the songwriting by Hill and Hanley is strong and the vocals engaging. The album kicks off with a delightful original called “Mike Muldowney.â€? It tells the tale of Hanley’s great-grandfather, who bought a ticket to America with money he was supposed to take home to his family. Hanley’s burly baritone provides abundant character. Becca Hanley, now 16, is a fine soprano. Her crystalline pipes set Crossings apart from other traditional music releases. A member of the Vermont All-State Chorus, she’s already a powerful singer. As she gains experience and control, she’ll no doubt become more so. The younger Hanley shines on the disc’s slower, prettier numbers such as the classics “Connemara by the Lakeâ€? and “Dawning of the Day.â€? Her ethereal voice is also well suited for the O’hAnLeigh original “In the Town of Strabane,â€? about a young woman’s haunting disappearance near a “fairy tree.â€? Her dad tackles Celtic music’s rowdier numbers, such as the traditional tunes “Irish Roverâ€? and “Black Velvet Band.â€? The latter’s protagonist is betrayed by women and whiskey, the bane of many a pub crooner. O’hAnLeigh’s version of Mike Cross’s “The Scotsmanâ€? takes a humorous look at what is, or isn’t, worn underneath kilts. It makes for a pleasant diversion from Crossings’ more orthodox fare. With Of Irish Crossings Told, O’hAnLeigh add four new and evocative songs to a well-worn genre. Also, Irish-music fans would do well to keep an eye on Becca Hanley as her talent matures.

I EXHIBIT “Vermont Collections,” works by 24 regional and international artists from the collections of 16 Vermont institutions. Helen Day Art Center, Stowe. Through August 27.
ARTWORK “Red and Black” by Kenneth Noland
PHOTO Marc Awodey
n celebration of its 25th anniversary this summer, Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center has accepted “presents” from other institutions around the state. Sixteen public facilities were invited to contribute art acquired or created during the last quarter-century. Guest-curated by Paul Gruhler and comprising works by 24 individual artists, this unprecedented group exhibition is entitled simply “Vermont Collections.” As it happens, this is also the final exhibit under the 6year term of Executive Director Mickey Myers — she’s leaving next month for a like role at the Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville. Myers’ swan song in Stowe is a paean to American Modernism, and includes prints, paintings and sculpture by some of the most important artists of the late 20th century. One of them, German-born Josef Albers, was more than a painter; he was also one of the great theorists of American art. His “Red on Red” series of four silkscreen prints, from the collection of Bennington College, is a prime example of his work. Albers conjured squares within squares of closely keyed colors that seem to vibrate within each other. “Red on Red” consists of 12 different shades of that color, three in each of the prints, which collectively generate blinding chromatic harmonies. Jules Olitski is a classic color-field painter who works on a monumental scale. His 12-foot-high vertical canvas entitled “Flaming On” can occupy a
viewer’s entire field of vision. Like Albers, Olitski focused on red in this piece, but his variations flow seamlessly across the picture plane. Slivers of green, isolated at the upper and lower left corners, activate the fiery veil of red. Kenneth Noland’s mixed media on handmade paper, entitled “Red and Black,” also plays with the hottest primary color. It’s an irregular shape, like half a shortsleeve shirt with one sleeve at right. Noland contained a few lines within the black area, contrasting the openness of the red; this makes the piece’s modest scale seem more expansive. Bennington is known for having one of the strongest ceramics departments in the country, and Karen Karnes’ stoneware vessel comes from that collection. The mimimally titled “Pot” has a graceful amphora shape, with four bands of varied texture connecting to a broad handle on top. The Olitski, Noland and Albers works are among contributions from Bennington’s impressive collection; so are pieces from the Mimimalist paintersculptor Ellsworth Kelly and sculptor Beverly Pepper. In fact, more than a third of the works in HDAC’s exhibition are lent either from Bennington College or by individual artists once affiliated with it. Perhaps not to be outdone, St. Michael’s College lent prints by Henry Moore and Robert Motherwell. Seeing such a collection of modern masters in one spot is a rare treat for Vermonters.
Among the show’s contemporary artists who are still actively exhibiting in the Northeast are Carol E. S. MacDonald of Colchester and Burlington painter Lance Richbourg. Their pieces are on loan from the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum. Richbourg’s “Mad Dog” is executed in a chaotic welter of multiple hues on raw white paper. The slashing oil lines that describe the crazed canine seem as violent as the dog’s demeanor. MacDonald’s “Beach Drawing I” is more peaceful. Sand and surf meet on a steep, 60-degree angle in her tall, vertical oil-on-paper abstraction. Small and colorful abstract toys seem to be scattered across the brown beach, and an almost invisible line drawing of a female face hovers over the scene. The oldest painting in the show is a 19th-century cityscape by Thomas Waterman Wood, founder of the T. W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier. His “View of Main Street Montpelier” is a vertically oriented vista looking downhill through leafy branches. The painting seems deceptively newer: It’s a jumbled composition that anticipates regionalist social realism of the 1930s. Several of Wood’s tree trunks, however, have become semitransparent over time, and the painting’s evident need of cleaning and restoration attests to its antiquity. Such are the expensive challenges every public collection faces in preserving its fine-art heritage. m

T
he seemingly endless trial of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein took a new turn today as the United States announced that the legal proceedings would continue in outer space, with the goal of landing the deposed Iraqi strongman on Mars by 2024. The decision to blast the deposed Iraqi strongman into outer space came after weeks of consultation between the White House and NASA, White House spokesman Tony Snow said today. “NASA told us that it would take at least until 2024 to land a man on Mars, and Saddam’s trial will take at least that long,” Mr. Snow said. “If he’s found guilty, which we believe he will be, we’ll just leave him there.” Continuing the Iraqi madman’s trial in outer space would appear to bring two of
President Bush’s oft-stated goals to fruition: bringing Saddam Hussein to justice, and landing a man on Mars. “The president has long wanted to send a man to Mars,” Mr. Snow said. “It just so happens that that man is Saddam Hussein.”
Once launched into outer space, Saddam will continue to hear his accusers reprimand him via a satellite radio linkup with the courtroom in Iraq. One benefit from the space mission, Mr. Snow said, is that there would be fewer of the

BY RICK KISONAK
PREVIEWS
Nacho Libre HHH
J TACO BELLY Black mines his unique physique for laughs in Hess’ Mexican wrestling comedy.
ack Black’s new comedy takes place in a parallel universe, a stylized world that’s half Dada experiment and half live-action cartoon. It’s a strange place that’s also strangely familiar. As I watched Nacho Libre, I wracked my brain to get my cinematic bearings, and eventually realized where I was: If Black’s innocent man-child monk hopped onto his preposterous, dilapidated scooter and made his way north into the U.S., he would cross paths with an innocent man-child on a much beloved bicycle. He is the long-lost, Mexican cousin of Pee-Wee Herman. Director Jared Hess has followed up his cult-phenomenon Napoleon Dynamite with a work that does not seem particularly destined for phenomenon status — though the word “cult” is probably about right when it comes to the audience likely to embrace it. Given his collaboration here with School of Rock writer Mike White and that picture’s hyper, highintensity star, the filmmaker’s latest underwhelms somewhat. This is fast becoming the summer of the big laugh letdown. Just as in The Break-Up, where Vince Vaughn failed to meet the high standard he helped set in Wedding Crashers, Black falls short in comparison to S.O.R. If Will Ferrell stalls out in the upcoming Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, we’ll have a historic trifecta of failure. Not that Nacho Libre’s failure is total. It’s relative. The film is more amusing than, say, Lucky Number Slevin. But then, so are Hostel and An Inconvenient Truth. It’s the work of high-caliber talent, but by and large it shoots blanks. I suppose we can put off outlining the plot no longer. If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve got virtually all the relevant facts. Black plays a friar in a Mexican orphanage. It’s his job to cook the children’s meals. His signature dish is a gruel composed primarily of refried beans and topped with a paltry sprinkling of stale tortilla chips. Here’s a typical gag. One of the orphans complains about having to eat the same thing all the time. Black assures him that the dish he’s just served is especially tasty. He then lifts a spoonful of the slop to his own mouth and — prepare for hilarity — winces in disgust and spits out the food. A short while later, the chunky monk is speeding down a country road on his scooter. He turns to look at something behind him and, when he turns back around — you guessed it — he makes a surprised face and flies off the side of the road. A short while after that, there’s a new arrival at the orphanage, a nun named Sister Encarnacion and played by the radiant Latin soap-opera star Ana de la Reguera. Black, it goes without saying, falls madly, immediately and pointlessly in love.
The film’s single inspired idea is this: Black’s character, Ignacio, has an unlikely dream. He secretly yearns to earn fame and riches in the ring as a Lucha Libre wrestler. Luchadors, we learn, are movie stars and superheroes rolled into one, masked, musclebound demigods who dazzle the poor and entertainment-deprived with theatrical, pile-driving, head-locking, metal-chair-slamming displays. Because Ignacio — like Pee-Wee — is an innocent, he doesn’t crave these riches entirely for himself. He wants to be able to purchase fresh ingredients in order to prepare healthier, tastier fare for the kids. Taking as his tag-team partner a scraggly local named Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez), he scrounges materials for a costume and christens himself Nacho Libre. At night he sneaks out of the orphanage, does battle against other luchador teams, and loses every single match. To his surprise, even the losers get paid, though, so Ignacio’s standard of living does improve. Suddenly the children find mountains of lush salad on their plates. The sister, it goes without saying, receives extra-jumbo servings. And suddenly, the humble friar is able to afford luxuries such as white ankle boots and tight polyester slacks. Nonetheless, he’s not fulfilled. He dreams about becoming the number-one wrestler in the land. Only a profound lack of ability and a chronic weight problem stand between Nacho and eternal glory. A great deal also stands between the audience and actual laughs. Hess does a commendable job of imagining a surreal, make-believe Mexico in which to set a surreal comedy. But he never quite gets around to the comedy. White concocts one or two situations that approximate oddball humor, but most fall flat — Nacho inviting the nun to join him for toast in his room, for example. Black shoulders the entire weight here, striving gamely to generate entertainment from thin air with a facial expression, a gesture, a clenching of his butt cheeks. But even the body of Jack Black is good for just so many yuks. By the time he stoops to singing a song he wrote for Encarnacion — a tune that goes nowhere and could be an outtake from School of Rock — it’s clear: For this movie to be salvaged would take a miracle. Contrast that forgettable musical moment with Herman’s Big Shoe Dance to “Tequila” in Tim Burton’s 1985 film. Now that’s surreal, man-child entertainment. It’s nothing short of timeless. Nacho Libre may be set in the same bizarro universe as Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, but as offbeat comedies go, they’re worlds apart. Hess’ first film may have been dynamite, but his second is ultimately a dud. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Documenting Discrimination right-wing government. But the siblings grew disillusioned with armed rebellion when atrocities mounted on both sides of the divide. Rajani, who became a marked woman, told friends: “One day, some gun will silence me.” Despite the never-ending Sri Lankan quagmire, her quest for peace is still loud and clear. Quagmires are familiar territory for Matthew Modine, who has appeared in several motion pictures that look back at Vietnam. He’s a soldier headed for Southeast Asia in Streamers (1983) and a psychologically damaged vet in Birdy (1984). In Full Metal Jacket, Stanley Kubrick’s stark 1987 saga, the actor plays one of several Marines unprepared for the horrors of battle after their brutal stateside basic training. Modine will be on hand at this weekend’s Lake Placid Film Forum to sign copies of the limited-edition Full Metal Jacket Diary, his observations and photographs from a harrowing yearand-a-half shoot in England. The literary effort was inspired by the fact that his character, nicknamed Private Joker, becomes a reporter for Stars and Stripes. “I was a journalist in the film, so I kept a journal,” Modine explains in an email interview. He describes his book as “a story about actors trying to be the best that they could under the direction of a demanding master filmmaker.”
Kubrick, who died in 1999, was famously ruthless in crafting his cinematic vision. Modine waited two decades to publish the diary, he says, because otherwise “the tumultuous events and relationships during filming might have been misconstrued or, worse, misunderstood.” The bleak tone of Jacket seems like realism to Modine. “I don’t think Kubrick’s film is pessimistic,” he contends. “It’s an honest reflection of man’s inhumanity.” One might perceive it as pessimistic, he suggests, after “years of watching Hollywood war movies and the cliché of good triumphing over evil. As if it were all so easy. So black and white.” On a lighter note, Modine’s sojourn in Lake Placid will also encompass a Saturday night screening of Kettle of Fish, a new release costarring Gina Gershon. “It’s a sweet, romantic comedy. Simple as that,” he points out. “I’ve read a lot of angry scripts lately . . . If I’m going to do an angry film today, I’d like it to have some big ideas.” He’ll have a chance to explore some big ideas at a Saturday afternoon
panel discussion entitled “The Future of Independent Film.” The session is scheduled to include Vermont director Jay Craven, whose Disappearances opens the fest on Friday evening Visit www.lakeplacidfilmforum. com for more information. To counter the image of a disheveled Nick Nolte in that widely circulated mug shot from his 2002 DUI arrest, go see Clean. French writer-director Olivier Assayas’ movie — opening Friday at the Palace 9 in South Burlington — follows the struggle for sobriety by a druggie singer (Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung). When her hasbeen rock musician lover dies of a heroin overdose, she serves time in jail. Set in Vancouver, San Francisco, London and Paris, the film tries to infuse a mainstream redemption plot with European arthouse sensibility. This approach may not be entirely successful, but Nolte, as a wise paternal grandfather raising the junkie couple’s young son, is nothing less than magnificent. m

ust last week more than two-dozen civilians in Sri Lanka were killed when their bus hit a landmine, the latest tragedy in an ethnic conflict that began during the mid-1970s. Coincidentally, Vermont Public Television is going behind the headlines to examine that country’s relentless sorrow: No More Tears Sister will launch the 19th season of the documentary series “P.O.V.” at 10 p.m. on June 27. Sri Lankan novelist Michael Ondaatje (The English Patient) narrates the Canadian National Film Board production. Director Helene Klodawsky uses photographs, archival footage, contemporary talking heads and docudrama reenactments to chronicle the short life of Dr. Rajani Thiranagama. In 1989, this physician, university professor and human rights activist was assassinated at age 35. Tears is a tale of colonialism’s bitter legacy. The independent Sri Lanka — called Ceylon under British rule that ended in 1948 — allowed the Buddhist Sinhalese majority to immediately begin denying rights to a primarily Hindu Tamil minority. Rajani came from a well-to-do Christian Tamil family, many of whom are seen on camera despite the fact that they’re in hiding. Ditto for her left-leaning Sinhalese husband Dayapal. She and an older sister initially sympathized with the Tamil Tigers, separatists who continue to wage guerrilla warfare against the

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

It’s only a good deal if it’s a good product…

Buy quality the first time if you can, it will cost you less…

The furniture is only as good as the dealer that sells it…

POLENTA? Polenta is a mush made from cornmeal that is eaten soft or cooled until firm, cut into squares and fried. In this recipe we’ll go a bit farther and grill it. Polenta can be a great option for the grill because it grills wonderfully (crispy on the outside & creamy inside), goes with many other foods and one can always have it on hand. Since the main ingredients are corn meal & water, this Italian staple can step in as a main dish when you don’t have time to go to the store.
GRILLED POLENTA TOPPED WITH BLACK BEAN SALSA 1/2 cup corn meal or corn grits 2 cups water or stock 1/2 cup shredded cheese — cheddar or parmesan Salsa: 1 cup cooked black beans 1 medium tomato, chopped 1/2 red onion, chopped 1 red or green chili pepper, minced 1/4 cup lime juice 1 tsp. salt A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped Combine salsa ingredients and refrigerate for an hour or more. Bring water, or stock, just barely to a boil then turn heat down to low immediately. Slowly pour in corn meal while stirring continuously. Simmer and keep stirring until polenta becomes thick, 5-10 minutes. Take off burner then stir in the cheese. Pour into a shallow casserole dish and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Cut polenta into squares and remove from dish with a spatula. Cook on an oiled grill until the outside becomes crispy (don’t worry, the inside will be soft and creamy), about 3 minutes on each side. Top with black bean salsa. Makes 4 servings.

HUMOR BOOM
What’s eating Gilbert Gottfried? In early May, the sour-faced comedian drew national notice at the top of the Boston Phoenix’s list of the world’s 100 unsexiest men; he beat out both Richard Simmons and Rush Limbaugh. But if you’re out for laughs, looks lag far behind timing and delivery, and Gottfried’s got both. His super-dirty spiel stands out in Paul Provenza’s obscenity-laden stand-up flick The Aristocrats, and his peanut-hawker voice boosts the hilarity.

scene@�YOGA THROUGH STORIES� FLETCHER FREE LIBRARY, BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 10:30 A.M. “Yoga Through Stories� is pitched at 3- to-7-year-olds and their accompanying adults. I half-expected to see kids quietly sitting in a circle, barefoot and cross-legged, arms bent at their sides with pointer fingers touching thumbs and eyes closed, calmly chanting “Ommm.� Instead, I found myself surrounded by stacks of black, plastic office chairs and podiums. Soothing music played in the background. An adorable little girl sat on a carpet square next to her grandmother. She was wearing a floral dress, with a hot pink bow in her hair. By the time the class got under way, three other kids, all under 5, had joined her. The class is taught by avid Yoga Vermont participant Lindsay Donnellon. The goal of the program, which meets next on June 29, is to emphasize that “literacy isn’t just in books,� she says. Donnellon began by telling the “Yoga Mountain Story,� a tale about a tall mountain with many trees. As the trees in the story blew in the wind, the kids wiggled from side to side like tall trees on a blustery day. By the time Donnellon was done, the group had acted out the story in a number of very beginner level yoga positions. Next, Donnellon demonstrated various breathing techniques and exercises, such as the “Spaghetti Test� — lie on your back while the instructor goes around the circle and shakes your limbs to ensure that your muscles are fully relaxed. To the pint-sized students in the program, the “Spaghetti Test� is a deliciously common treat and the Fletcher Room is their hermitage. As impressive as these four youngsters’ yoga abilities were, they’ve got a ways to go before they become meditation gurus. A 5-year-old who identified himself as “Sir Francis Haddock� sat on his mother and hit her on the head with his shoe. His sister Julie, 3, got up in the middle of an exercise, walked over to Donnellon, stuck out her thumb and announced: “Look, I have an ouchie!� MOLLY SHAKER

LAW OF THE LAND
Vermont used to be home to a healthy catamount population, but these days they only pop up on endangered-species lists. In a talk, Bob Irvin, the senior vice president for conservation programs at Defenders of Wildlife, recaps the current debate in Congress over whether to drastically alter the Endangered Species Act, and reviews the potential effects of proposed changes. Later this week, Tom Henry of the Toledo Blade recaps his coverage of the 2002 near-rupture of Cleveland’s Davis-Besse nuclear reactor, examining the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s ties to power-industry corporations, and questioning its commitment to public safety. The talks are part of Vermont Law School’s summer lecture series, “Hot Topics in Environmental Law,” which runs through August 1.

MATCH COUNTERPOINT
Great minds may think alike, but what happens when those minds are married to each other? Romantic composers Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck (pictured) wed in 1840, after she had wowed Europe as a piano prodigy. Their union resulted in eight children and a close creative relationship fostered by their joint diary. That opus inspired “Two Composers, One Bed,â€? a June 27 tribute concert interweaving readings from the journal with works by Schumanns herr and frau. It’s among several music-and-word offerings at this year’s MontrĂŠal Chamber Music Festival. Also in queue? A 12-hour Mozart marathon, an aural birthday fĂŞte for a 300-year-old cello, and a dramatic performance of Niccolo Paganini’s 24 Caprices that highlights an attempt to jail the violin virtuoso for making a deal with the Devil.

BALLET CALIENTE Spain’s national ballet may not be as famous as its Russian relatives, but it more than holds its own on the classical dance circuit. Recently, the troupe’s younger incarnation, the CompaĂąia Nacional de Danza 2, has garnered international fame for its innovative risks. Under the direction of choreographer Nacho Duato, athletic dancers bring a trio of works to the Hopkins Center. “Remansosâ€? explores strength and space to piano music by Spanish composer Enrique Granados. Four couples in drab work clothes enact a moving appeal for human rights in “Rassemblement,â€? set to the earthy rhythms of Haitian slave songs. “Violon D’Ingresâ€? conjures both the image by early-20th-century photographer Man Ray, and Paganini’s precise yet passionate violin compositions.

JUNE 22-28
ARIES (March 21-April 19): During
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Since it’s
America’s Civil War, John Bell Hood was a top general for the Confederacy. Though initially impressive, he grew increasingly ineffectual as his ferocious courage devolved into maniacal force devoid of strategy. His superior officer Robert E. Lee said that Hood was “all lion and no fox.” I mention this, Aries, in the hope that it will serve as a kick in butt. You’re not as unbalanced as Hood — your ratio is about 90 percent lion, 10 percent fox — but if you want to navigate your way successfully through the coming weeks, you’ll have to work harder on cultivating your inner fox.
my birthday this week, I decided to take a break from business as usual. That’s why I outsourced the writing of our Cancerian horoscope to an astrologer in Bangladesh, Farhana Rasel. Here’s what she came up with: It is an auspicious time to use the good will you have accumulated through your generous deeds. You should ask for favors from people who have enjoyed your favors, and coast along on the currents of the good karma you have set in motion. Luck will be on your side if you permit yourself an excursion into the naughty mysteries of enlightened narcissism. You will be given more slack than usual, especially if you have the nerve to demand it.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): According to a study done by sociologist Werner Habermehl at the Hamburg Medical Research Institute, sex makes you smarter. His test subjects showed greater skill at performing certain mental tasks after they made love. Habermehl attributes the results to the increased levels of adrenaline and cortisol that are released in the body. I encourage you to do some experiments of your own, Taurus. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to engage in all manner of experiences that might boost your intelligence, including (though not limited to) regular erotic adventures.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Using your common sense, you might assume you could swim faster through water than through syrup. But research published by Professor Edward Cussler has shown that’s not true. In his paper “Will Humans Swim Faster or Slower in Syrup?” he proved that the breaststroke can be done with equal speed in both mediums. Keep that in mind, Gemini. Your surroundings may sometimes feel dense in the coming weeks — more like syrup than water. But as long as you don’t buy into the fear that life will be more difficult and slow going, you’ll be able to glide along with just as much grace as you’ve enjoyed recently.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Prescribed Burn Season Begins” read a headline in a Colorado newspaper that publishes my column. The report said that forestry officials planned to intentionally set easily controllable fires on parcels of bone-dry woods. By reducing the density of potential fuel, they would dramatically reduce the threat of massive forest fires in the future. The burns would also make habitats more livable for wildlife. I suggest you make this your metaphor, Leo. If you burn a little now, you’ll prevent a bigger burn later.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Futurologist David Brin talks to a diverse range of scientists. Over the years, he has noticed that many of them have become “much livelier, more open-minded, and more interested in fields outside their own” than they were when he first met them. Physicists are more interested in biology, biologists in astronomy, and engineers in cybernetics. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Virgo, this is a perfect moment for you to have this kind of fun. You will attract unexpected benefits into your life if you wander outside your areas of specialty and check out the action in other genres. It’s high time for exuberant crosspollination.
BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you think you need to be fixed, toned down, made over or recreated from scratch, you’re reading the wrong horoscope column. Likewise, if you imagine that you’re a wounded animal in desperate need of rescue or a helpless victim cowering in your closet, I’m not the proper consultant for you. But if you long to be fiercely understood, shaken awake, and dared to discover your higher calling, you’ve come to the right place. Now let’s get started on the next phase of my pet project, which is to inspire you to deal with what philosopher Alan Watts called “the taboo against knowing who you are.” There are secrets that your unconscious mind has been longing to reveal to your conscious mind, and conditions are now favorable for that shocking yet pleasurable communication to unfold.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the course of my life, I’ve known five people whom I consider feral. They weren’t raised by wolves in the wild, but they have qualities that make it seem as if they could have been. They regularly get wild glints in their eyes, and are given to sudden expulsions of anomalous noises that express manic amusement mixed with inscrutable emotions. They can survive while traveling in foreign lands despite having little money, and even when they’re home they’re prone to taking long rambles in the middle of the night. They couldn’t care less what anyone thinks of them, and rarely do what anyone expects them to do. These feral folks are disruptive but not dangerous, and they confound my beliefs about human nature in the most entertaining ways. Even if you don’t fit this description, Scorpio, you’d be wise to flirt with your own brand of feral behavior in the coming weeks. It’s time to untame yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The successful Czech composer Vaclav Halek has an unusual muse: the mushroom kingdom. No, he doesn’t ingest the psychedelic varieties and write music while high. Rather, he wanders out into the forest, lies down next to fungal colonies, and tunes in to their vibrations. “I simply record music that the mushrooms sing to
me,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald. Trees and rocks also produce melodies, he reports, but the toadstools’ compositions are the finest. Given the fact that you’re in a phase when becoming a better listener would improve your life dramatically, Sagittarius, I encourage you to be openminded about Halek’s approach to his creativity. Just imagine that you have the power to eavesdrop on all of creation.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “What the heart knows today the head will understand tomorrow,” wrote Irish storyteller James Stephens. It’s lucky for you that this is true, Capricorn — or at least it will be lucky if you’re smart enough to trust your heart, which has already figured out a certain truth that your head is still days away from registering. This is not merely a pretty metaphor, by the way. Despite what you may have been led to believe about the nature of the heart, it is actually an organ of intelligence that is capable of deep thought.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): During an outdoor concert, ’80s pop star Cyndi Lauper experienced a rare event that every singer dreads. As she belted out a long, booming note, a bird flying overhead dispensed a blob that zoomed into her wide-open mouth. Lauper’s grandmother later assured her that this was a stroke of good luck, and the singer herself referred to it as “God’s little joke.” I predict you will soon enjoy a metaphorically similar visitation.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re about to turn into a creative powerhouse — and will remain so for at least a few weeks. That means you’ll be at the peak of your ability to conjure up artistic masterpieces. But more than that: You will also have uncanny skill at whipping up fresh, crisp solutions to conundrums that have stymied you and your tribe for a long time. It will almost be as if you have found a way to tap into the future, where you can learn novel ways of seeing that are impossible to access in the present.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Sir Thomas To celebrate Adopt-a-Shelter Cat month, I would like to encourage you to consider HSCC as your source for a wonderful feline family member. For instance, are you looking for a gentleman to cuddle with? Well, you’ve found me! Hello. My name is Sir Thomas and I am a 10-year-old orange tiger neutered male. I am handsome and stately – although I like to sit in my litter box. I am shy at first, but extremely loving and affectionate once I’ve gotten to know you. I’m looking for a nice, quiet place to spend the rest of my life where I will be loved and I can give love. I would love to sit beside you while you enjoy a good book, or curl up on your lap for a good movie. A family with gentle kids 5 and up would be nice. If you’re interested, let’s make a date and you can visit me in person at HSCC. Don’t forget, in addition to me, there are Yoda, Rose, Shadow, Luke, and a lot of other great cats of all shapes, ages, sizes, and personalities waiting at HSCC for you to welcome them into your home. Please come on down and visit me and all of my feline friends! We’re ready to purr your troubles away! Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, I’m almost 24 now and am already going through a divorce, which will be final July 14. And I’m in search of new love. Do you think that I’m going too fast? I don’t know what to think, because emotionally I’m very co-dependent, but yet in every other possible way I’m very independent. So what should I do? Lonely in Lincoln Dear Baffled Break-ups can do a number on future relationships. They can turn people off romance for fear of failure or hurt, or they can make folks want to fill the void right away. In the latter case, the desire for an attachment — any attachment — can loom larger than the actual love object. Judgment may be blurred. And if problems in the previous relationship haven’t been properly addressed, the rebounding lover is likely to repeat the same patterns that doomed the previous relationship. Bottom line: Take it slow and keep it light. Go ahead and date — have fun, get out and meet people. But don’t jump into another committed relationship right away. Love, Lola
