If it wasn’t so sad, I’d be tempted to laugh at Cathy Resmer’s contention that “It’s been a good year to be queer in Vermont� [“Local Matters,� June 15]. It’s a contention based on the fact that queer representation in the Vermont Legislature has approached pre-2000 levels (hmmm, that sounds like a step back to me), that 78 percent of Vermonters now graciously allow that it’s OK for queers to marry, that the Burlington school district is now trying to do their job in terms of protecting all students, and that a bunch of people came to a UVM conference. Woo-hoo! What about the fact that SafeSpace just reported a 758 percent increase in documented instances of queer hate violence in Vermont? What about the fact that, according to the Vermont Departments of Health and Education, queer youth are 300 percent more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers? Four hundred percent more likely to skip school because of feeling unsafe. Three hundred percent more likely to be threatened or injured with a weapon at school. Wow! Let’s have a party! Oh, oops, we don’t need Pride anymore! Queer Vermonters have “simply moved on.� Now that they’ve come out, it’s more important to volunteer at the local library than be visible and set an example for scared, suicidal youth.

I find it sad that this “rosecolored� view is presented to give folks the validation they need in order to not be “out there� in terms of supporting freedom, safety and equality for all. As evidenced by the statistics above — percentages that border on the surreal/obscene — this is definitely not a good time to be queer in Vermont; and any reporter worth his/her salt would think twice before perpetuating such a myth.

delivered on its promise of payback, below-market pricing, and high penetration into a residential market. Many have dipped into general-fund revenues or raised taxes to support these illconceived ventures. In retrospect, the legislature’s decision protecting Burlington tax and ratepayers was good policy. Burlington’s plan may have seemed reasonable in 2000, when few citizens had high-speed Internet service, and few businesses had competitive data and telephone offerings.
Today nearly everyone in Burlington who wants broadband can have it through cable, phone, wireless and even satellite. Burlington area businesses can choose from dozens of commercial data and telephone-service providers. Burlington and Vermont’s economic competitiveness is also at stake. The speed at which technology is changing means Burlington risks having obsolete equipment very quickly. The free market, time and technology have worked them-
selves out. The city of Burlington should be so lucky! It is difficult to get the wheels of government working, but often even more difficult to get those wheels to stop once they’re moving. Good government is the ability to realize when a problem has worked itself out, and move on. It’s time for Burlington to recognize that time and the market have changed. Frank Mazur SOUTH BURLINGTON

THE ROKEBY ROCKS In “Not-So-Hot-Spots” [June 15], Resmer leaves a mixed message. It was difficult to tell whether her remarks about “diamonds in the rough” and “second- and third-rate tourist attractions” were simply tongue-incheeky comments wrapped in a human-interest story or whether they were intended to expose something of value at these attractions. My particular quarrel is with the piece on Rokeby Museum. I have been a trustee for more than 10 years and have been fascinated by the breadth of the Robinson family interests, causes and accomplishments over the two centuries since they arrived from Rhode Island in 1793. Their Quakerism led the Robinsons to take up active support of antislavery in the early 1800s and to assist slaves in seeking a friendlier environment, on occasion via the Vermont minor spur of the Underground Railroad. The National Park Service found the Robinson’s activities on behalf of the Underground Railroad of such importance that it declared Rokeby Museum a National Historic Landmark in 1997. Yes, Rokeby is one of Vermont’s best-kept secrets, but it is hardly the second or thirdrate attraction that Resmer’s belittling remarks imply. George A. Chaffee
HELP KIDS I wish to commend Ken Picard on his excellent article about homeless youth in Vermont [“Reaching Out,” June 15]. As someone who grew up in a home where I felt like I wasn’t wanted, I can almost relate to them. Never being homeless, though, I couldn’t imagine the seclusion they must be feeling on a regular basis. Taking readers through a day in the life of both an outreach worker and a homeless youth was enlightening. So often I pass others on Church Street, oblivious to their plights, only focusing on what I will have for dinner. Receiving a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich is considered winning the lottery to them. Can you imagine something so basic, and yet we take that for granted? We were all children once ourselves, and can relate to the isolation we felt during this transitional time. I encourage others to help wherever possible, whether it’s volunteering in your communities or keeping informed of the issues. Ignorance is the enemy of all humanity. Carol Ann Wooster BURLINGTON

BY PETER FREYNE
AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Summer in Vermont
I
f you’ve been having a hard time lately keeping current American history out of your mind, this week won’t be any easier. That’s because another 400 Vermont weekend warriors are shipping out from Camp Shelby, Mississippi, for the war zone called Iraq. The 300 soldiers from the 172nd armored regiment and 100 troops from the Mountain Battalion will significantly beef up the number of Vermont targets available to the intensifying Iraq insurgency. Reports out of Iraq this week indicate the stepped-up, horrifying success of the antiU.S. resistance. More American soldiers — 52 — have been killed so far this month than in all of June 2004. Iraq police and security officers are being blown up by the truckload. Half the water system of Baghdad was disabled Monday, leaving more than 2 million people without fresh water as temperatures exceeded 100 degrees. According to Vermont Guard spokeswoman Lt. Veronica Saffo, 110 Vermont Guard troops are already stationed in the country that has no weapons of mass destruction (despite the White House’s well-orchestrated brainwashing of the American people). None. Zip. Zero. Today, another 600 Vermonters are stationed in neighboring Kuwait. And this fall, about 100 members of the Vermont Guard’s air ambulance company will be shipping out for Iraq. That’s a lot of Vermont citizen-soldiers in harm’s way, and a lot of moms and dads, sons and daughters, wives and husbands who will be on pins and needles for the year to come. It’s the third summer of George W. Bush’s Iraq War of Choice and more than 1700 Americans have been killed so far. More than 12,000 have been wounded. Fourteen Vermont soldiers are among the dead. But the real bloodbath has been the one sustained by the people of Iraq, with estimates of up to 100,000 civilians — men, women and children — killed since the U.S. invasion three summers ago. Strange how American media reports and death counts always leave out the piles of dead civilians to whom Mr. Bush wanted to bring democracy, eh? Finally, public opinion has begun to turn as the realization sinks in that our president and his team lied to the American people about the threat Saddam Hussein’s Iraq posed to us. In fact, it’s quite clear that Saddam posed no threat whatsoever. Rather, Osama bin Laden, the real threat, the architect of 9/11, leader of alQaeda and the hero of millions in the Muslim world, remains free despite this president’s promise years ago to catch him. It was back on December 17, 2001, that Mr. Bush told us, “Osama bin Laden is to be brought to justice. It may happen tomorrow, it may happen in a month, it may happen in a year. But he is to be brought to justice. He’s on the run. He thinks he can hide, but he can’t.” Like so much of the rhetoric that’s spewed from the White House, President Bush got it wrong. Osama remains free almost four years after 9/11. And while al-Qaeda’s recruiting opera-
tion appears to be in much better shape these days than that of the United States Army, the reality is hitting home: America is hopelessly bogged down in Iraq for years to come, much like we were bogged down in Vietnam 40 years ago. It’s summer in Vermont. Time for farmers’ markets, classical music concerts at Shelburne Farms and boating on Lake Champlain. The sun shines more than 15 hours a day, but there is no light at the end of the Iraq War tunnel. If ever America was in need of regime change . . . Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall of a high school history class 200 years from now, listening to the teacher explain why one American president was impeached for an extramarital blow job, while his successor was let off scot-free for starting the unnecessary war that marked the beginning of the downfall of the American Empire? Thank you, George.
Legislature Balks — It got lost in the lastday rush two weeks ago when the official legislative session ended. But the deep-sixing of J.R.H. 47, inspired by the passage of antiwar resolutions by more than 50 towns on Town Meeting Day, has led to a lot of finger-pointing. The Town Meeting Day resolutions basically called on the legislature “to investigate and discuss Vermont’s role in the governance of its National Guard, and to set up a commission to study how Guard deployments affect readiness to perform its mission here in Vermont.” Given the fact that antiwar sentiment is pretty high in the Green Mountains — our entire congressional delegation opposed the Iraq Invasion — one might expect the Vermont Legislature to get on board. Think again. At the 11th hour, even supporters of the resolution got cold feet as word spread that adoption would send the wrong signal to Washington, and closing the Vermont Air Guard base in Burlap could be the penalty. When J.R.H. 47 was brought up on the floor on the final day, Rep. Jim Condon (D-Colchester) quickly moved that it be sent back to committee. On the ensuing roll call vote, 90 members agreed with him, while just 40 voted no. Rep. Condon, who opposed the Iraq invasion, told “Inside Track” this week that the possibility of the resolution leading to the closing of the Vermont Guard base was “definitely a consideration.” “It might send a message,” said Condon, whose district includes Camp Johnson, “that we don’t want the Guard here.” Indeed, the Pentagon had weighed in following Town Meeting Day. According to Deputy Adjutant Gen. Bill Noyes, some folks at the Pentagon “with the rank of three-star general” did call Vermont Air Guard brass asking, “What is this resolution about? And does Vermont really support its military?” “Our answer was,” said Gen. Noyes, “that we explained Vermont Town Meeting tradition and the state’s independent spirit INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

localmatters UNIONS IN IRAQ
Occupational Hazards BY CATHY RESMER
BURLINGTON — With all the “U.S. out of Iraq” banners, and the chanting — “No justice, no peace! U.S. out of the Middle East!” — the march down Church Street last Sunday looked like just another of Burlington’s frequent antiwar protests. It wasn’t. It’s true, the 70 or so activists — including State Representative Jason Lorber and Mayor Peter Clavelle — spoke out against the war. But the event was actually part of a nationwide tour of Iraqi labor leaders, who came to the U.S. to raise awareness about the plight of Iraqi workers and their unions. They say the U.S. and Iraqi governments are helping multinational corporations at the expense of working Iraqis. Speaking through a translator in a phone interview on Friday, Adnan Rashed, a 56-year-old Iraqi metalworker and representative of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions, said the unrelenting violence in his homeland isn’t the only threat to Iraqi security. “We consider privatization of the public sector the greatest danger to the Iraqi working people,” he said. Nearly half of the 6.5 million working Iraqis are employed in the public sector. The Iraqi government, with support from the U.S., is poised to privatize much of it. And not all of those jobs will go to Iraqis — Rashed cites an example of a Kuwaiti oil company that brought 1000 of its Asian workers to the oil fields in Basra. This comes at a time when unemployment is a major problem in Iraq. A May study by the Iraqi government and the United Nations pegged the unemployment rate at 27 percent, but a June 20 article in the Washington Post reports that number is far too low. U.S. Labor Against the War, which sponsored the Iraqi labor delegation’s trip, puts it closer to 50 percent, and as high as 70 percent in some areas. Labor activists argue that cutting government jobs will make that number rise, and large numbers of unemployed Iraqis can only help the insurgency. Rashed also says he’s concerned that the Iraqi government is not doing enough to make the country union-friendly. Saddam Hussein outlawed unions in 1987 and, though they’re legal now, Rashed says Hussein’s anti-labor laws are still being enforced. He points out that, with their power to organize diminished, unions won’t be able to fight privatization and outsourcing. He says he came here to ask U.S. citizens to call for
ANTIWAR ACTIVISTS OF ALL AGES AT A BURLINGTON RALLY ON JUNE 19. PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
an end to the occupation, and to support the trade union movement in Iraq. “Expose the privatization schemes,” Rashed urges. “Especially in the oil sector. Oil is the national treasure, and under no circumstances in Iraq will we give it up.” His message reached Charles Parsley, a retired minister of the United Church of Christ. Parsley attended Sunday’s rally wearing a blue Army cap decorated with the infantryman’s medal he earned in World War II. He also wore a blue T-shirt emblazoned with the word “Peace” in Hebrew, Arabic and English. “I’m upset about what I know about the U.S. in Iraq,” said the vet. “And I’m upset that they’re outsourcing jobs instead of hiring Iraqis to rebuild their own country.” 쩾

PUBLIC BROADCASTING
Conservatives Target Big Bird, Again BY KEN PICARD
VERMONT — The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote this week on a plan that would slash about one-quarter of all federal funding — around $100 million — for Public Broadcasting effective October 1. Last week, a House panel voted to eliminate all public funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service within two years. If approved by the Senate, those cuts would represent the most drastic reduction in federal funding for public radio and television since Congress passed the Public Broadcasting Act in 1967. Vermont Public Radio and Vermont Public Television both receive money from the CPB through various funding streams. Among them are “community-service grants,” which are matching funds based on how much each station receives from its audience. VPR stands to lose about $125,000 in community-service grants this year alone. VPT would lose between $175,000 and $200,000. VPR President and General Manager Mark Vogelzang says that although the cutbacks wouldn’t be immediately noticeable to listeners — VPR only gets about 10 percent of its budget, or about $500,000 annually from CPB — the loss of
funding would prevent the station from adding more news reporters, upgrading aged equipment, or improving service in rural areas. “For a small state, Vermont is incredibly supportive of public broadcasting,” Vogelzang says of VPR’s 23,000 members. Harder hit, says Vogelzang, would be stations in remote locations, such Alaska Public
decades. But these latest cuts are even more drastic than those proposed in 1995 by Newt Gingrich and are widely seen as a political attack on the perceived liberal bias exemplified by series such as “Now with Bill Moyers” and “Frontline.” Recent polls indicate Americans widely see public broadcasting as far more impartial than other news

Such stations sometimes receive as much as 25 percent of their funding through CPB. Over at VPT, President and CEO John King says it’s premature to predict exactly how the cuts would affect public television in Vermont. But he admits they would have “a somewhat disastrous effect on us. Anytime you take $200,000 out of a $5.6 million operating budget, there would certainly be issues with programs and services, as well as staffing.” Congressional conservatives have been trying to kill CPB’s federal support for more than two
outlets, especially since the federal “Fairness Doctrine” in broadcasting was abolished in 1987. In a survey conducted by the conservative Tarrance Group, 80 percent of Americans described PBS programs as “fair and balanced.” More than half described its news coverage as more trustworthy than corporate news outlets such as Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. Both King and Vogelzang emphasize Vermont’s congressional delegation’s historical advocacy of public broadcasting and adamant opposition to these latest cuts; Senator Patrick Leahy sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, which has the authority to restore the funds. 쩾

BURLINGTON — The recent snipping and snarling at the Starr Farm Dog Park in Burlington’s New North End hasn’t just been coming from the four-legged critters. Some park regulars complain that the system for banning aggressive canines from the site is hasty, arbitrary and unfair. But dog-park volunteers and city officials counter that bans are necessary for maintaining Burlington’s zero-tolerance policy on aggressive dog behavior. Darrel Hade, 43, was a longtime dog-park regular until about a month ago. In May, Hade and his 5-year-old Shiloh shepherd,

Cooper, were issued a no-trespass order after Cooper got into a fight with another dog. Hade admits that Cooper, a 95-pound non-neutered male, has a tendency to herd other dogs. But Hade calls that behavior typical of the breed, and has a letter from The Dog School of Richmond that supports his claim. More than 50 Starr Farm regulars have signed a petition asking that Hade and Cooper be allowed to return. A similar incident occurred several weeks ago involving

Plant With Your Left Hand, Yank It Up With Your Right BY KEN PICARD
BURLINGTON — Is Burlington sending out mixed marigold messages? Last month, the city’s Center for Community and Neighborhoods presented a beautification award to Holly Taylor, who’s been planting a variety of flowers, including sunflowers, in an Old North End greenbelt for four years. Meanwhile, the Burlington City Council is considering a proposal by the Parks and Recreation Department to restrict planting on city greenbelts. The move is motivated in part by complaints from drivers and pedestrians who say they can’t see around the sunflowers. If the ordinance passes, this year’s winner could be next year’s scofflaw. Action is expected at the June 27 City Council meeting. 쩾
because Burlington Animal Control Officer Jody Harvey warned them that if Ox gets into another fight, he will be banned, too. “Ox is not an aggressive dog,” says Julie Ochsenbein. “My husband had our dog under control. Frankly, we’re dumbfounded at the level of stupidity here.” She points out that almost any dog will fight back if it’s attacked. But Harvey says that part of the problem is non-neutered males like Cooper and Ox, which are more prone to exert dominance and fight. “If you’re not real experienced with animal behavior, it’s hard for most people to understand that,” says Harvey. “It’s not ‘dogs being dogs.’ It would be if we all lived in the woods and were a pack of wolves. But [for] domestic animals in a public park, we have a responsibility that a dog not behave that way.” Starr Farm Dog Park volunteer Sandy Bissonette says no-trespass orders aren’t issued lightly and are jointly reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Department, the animal control officer and the volunteer Friends of Starr Farm Dog Park. “We feel bad when it happens and we try to do it intelligently,” she says. “I love the dog park and want it to stay open. But we’re trying to cut down on these incidents.” “I feel so stupid even talking about this stuff because it’s a dog park,” says Oschenbein. “It feels so second grade, like, ‘He pushed me off the monkey bars.’ But, like a lot of people, we don’t have any other place to walk our dog.” 쩾

N
ow that Michael Jackson has been cleared on all charges of “conspiracy,” child molestation and plying teenaged boys with liquor, balloons and fantasies of fame, the only thing left is to accuse him of what we already knew — that he’s really, really rich, really, really weird and, by now, about as “black” as Paris Hilton. I mention the black thing — if you prefer, African-American — only because Jackson himself is determined to regard his legal battles as being “racist” in origin. But even he can’t take that assertion too far. Jackson’s lawyer, Thomas Mesereau Jr., said last week that the perennially described “self-styled King of Pop,” having escaped prison by the skin of his teeth — if those really are his teeth — has decided to “alter his lifestyle” and “get those boys out of his bedroom.” Good idea. Frankly, I’ve been wishing they’d throw a blanket over Michael Jackson for the last 15 years, but no one listens to me. The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that Jackson has “beat it to a secret location, where he is now reportedly surrounded by sympathetic family members and slowly regaining his strength on the crumbs of sandwiches. As the tarnished star fiddles with his hurt feelings, a big question mark still burns in the trial’s aftermath: What will Wacko Jacko do next?” Well, never mind: What are Americans going to do next? With the Jackson trial finally over, where will our nation look now for something to distract it from the genuine and really terrifying problems at hand — international war, a collapsing economy and dysfunctional health-care system, global warming, earthquakes, floods, fires and other environmental disasters, the Japanese starting to eat whale meat again, George W. Bush and the Republican takeover of government, etc.? And what sort of “lifestyle” changes are we, ourselves, prepared to make? Don’t think too hard about that. The only things “Americans” really care about are cars, sports, shopping and barbecues (not even “the economy,” I think, so long as the oil is still pumping, we’re all “supporting the troops” and everyone gets a slice of watermelon). It takes an enormous kick in the national stomach to get Americans to wake up to anything, and even when that happens — Pearl Harbor, say, or “9/11” — they normally wake up on the wrong side. (“Hey, there’s something like 150,000 Japs in this country. Let’s stick ’em behind barbed wire!”) So let’s not hold our collective breath waiting for some seismic social shift, because there isn’t going be one. Of course, there’s no dearth of celebrity “news” to keep the wheels of media spinning and ourselves entertained while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. There’s Natalee Holloway, for

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Dear Cecil, I’ve heard talk about “suitcase” nuclear weapons, which someone could carry around and detonate anywhere. Is this possible? I’m not talking about whether someone could get hold of the proper components or be mad enough to pull it off. Rather, I always thought uranium and plutonium were really heavy and the amount needed for a bomb would be too much for one person to tote around. Gold, for example, is much heavier than most people think, certainly heavier than movies typically suggest, and plutonium has a much greater atomic weight and thus should be even heavier. In the end a suitcase-sized nuclear device in the back of a truck is just as awful as a totable one, but the image put forth in the media seems highly inaccurate to me. Jonathan, via email As so often, we need to define our terms. If you’re asking whether it’s possible to make a practical nuclear bomb small and light enough to carry around one-handed in a Teletubbies lunch box, the answer is probably not. However, if we expand the menu of mini-nuke delivery systems to include, say, a bowling-ball bag or, better yet, a garden-variety wheeled suitcase, I wouldn’t rule anything out. And if we conjure up what in my opinion is an entirely plausible scenario with a guy in a parking meter service uniform pulling an ashcan-sized two-wheeled coin vault through busy downtown streets at rush hour — well, I’ll make the usual disclaimer about the proper components not being easy to come by, etc. Strictly from the standpoint of design feasibility, though: piece of cake. While the active ingredients in a nuclear bomb are plenty heavy, they’re not in the neutron-star range, as you seem to think. Gold, uranium and plutonium all weigh around 19 to 20 grams per cubic centimeter (10 to 11 ounces per cubic inch), compared to about 8 g/cc for iron. It doesn’t take much fissile material to make a bomb — on the order of 10 kilograms of plutonium, a roughly
grapefruit-sized sphere. You’ll also want a “shaped charge” of conventional explosives to compress the plutonium to critical mass, plus a few other precisely engineered but not especially bulky items. (A gun-type weapon that smashes two hunks of uranium together to trigger the nuclear blast is simpler to make but requires more material.) One thing you won’t need is massive lead shielding to ensure the delivery person lives long enough to reach ground zero — prior to detonation, plutonium and uranium don’t emit significant amounts of ionizing radiation, one reason a suitcase nuke wouldn’t be easy to detect. What would the thing weigh, all told? Possibly as little as 30 kilograms, or 66 pounds. It’d be a bit unwieldy to slide under the seat as a carry-on, maybe, but still pretty small. Guesswork, you say. True, but fairly educated guesswork. Our most recent glimpse at the state of the art in portable A-bomb design was furnished by the late Russian general Alexander Lebed, who in 1997 claimed that 100 or so Russian tactical nuclear bombinos couldn’t be accounted for. Lebed said each device measured about 60 by 40 by 20 centimeters (24 by 16 by 8 inches, suitcase-sized in my book) and would explode with a force roughly equal to 1000 tons of TNT — supposedly they were to be deployed by special forces behind enemy lines. Kremlin spokesmen roundly denied all, including the little bombs’ existence. The question remains unsettled (and unsettling), but there seems small doubt that suitcase nukes are buildable, since plenty of portable, if not exactly Samsonitesized, A-weapons were in fact built during the cold war. One oft-cited example is a U.S. device called the special atomic demolition munition (SADM), reportedly deployed in various configurations during the 1960s. The SADM, or anyway some SADMs, supposedly had a shipping weight of about 160 pounds, which is more like a dishwasher than a suitcase, but when assembled and ready for use may have been in the 50-to-60-pound range. In declassified photos, one version looks to be about the size of a small shop vac — and remember, that’s 40-year-old technology. Imagine what some nuclear nerd could come up with today. Not to worry, the experts say: The suitcase nuke threat is exaggerated — if any were actually out there, given the global surplus of fanatics, by now they’d surely have been used. Producing weapons-grade uranium and plutonium is a huge industrial operation requiring skills and equipment not easily concealed; even the craziest terrorist knows there are easier ways to make things go boom. Despite what alarmists would have you believe, you can’t just buy 10 kilos of P-239 on the Tashkent black market and get a recipe from alt.nukes.made.simple. To which the pessimist, knowing that we’re inevitably headed toward a more nuke-dependent world as other energy sources dry up, can only reply: Not yet. CECIL ADAMS

Perennial Poet

Jean L. Connor reads from A Cartography of Peace, Tuesday, July 19, Gallery on the Green, Shelburne, 7 p.m. The book is available at The Flying Pig in Charlotte and Hopkins Bookstore at the Cathedral of St. Paul, Burlington.
or some time now, I have / lived anonymously,” Jean L. Connor writes in her first collection of poetry, A Cartography of Peace. “No one / appears to think it odd. / They think the old are, / well, what they seem.” But the following lines compare the “anonymous” older person to a great egret whose “silence is / a lie. In his own pond he is / of some renown…” The same might be said of 85-year-old Connor, who lives quietly in Shelburne’s Wake Robin Life Care Retirement Community, tending the small garden she planted when she moved in 11 years ago. In the “pond” of poetry, she is indeed “of some renown.” Her poems have appeared in such journals as Hunger Mountain, Yankee Review, and Baltimore’s 15-year-old Passager, devoted to the work of authors over 50. National Poet Laureate Ted Kooser chose Connor’s poem “Of Some Renown” for his 2005 American Life in Poetry series. Last year, the editors of Passager decided to use Connor’s poems for their first foray into book publishing. The slim, elegant paperback volume was printed by Vermont’s Stinehour Press and designed by local artist Dani Dennis, whose cover images of dark boughs and quiet water capture the contemplative texture of Connor’s poems. Her lyrics are terse, seldom exceeding 25 lines, and weave their webs of imagery outward from a seemingly simple scene or object — a garden, a glacier, a darkening field. Some poems use sly wit to evoke human social interactions, with their “tyranny of small things / of indecisiveness.” Some gesture at current events, such as a “world / that has stumbled into war.” But most remain focused on the act of contemplation, the silent converse of an individual with a thing or a place. Connor’s poems suggest a gift for seeing transcendence in the ordinary, what William Wordsworth called “a sense sublime / Of something far more deeply interfused.” A lifelong Episcopalian who was actively involved in creating a lay ministry at her church in Albany, New York, Connor says that, in her poems, “There’s nothing in the way of dogmatic teaching, so much as drawing us into saying, ‘Look.’ I think one aspect of spirituality is an ability to give thanks for what we have already,” she explains. “If one observes beauty, then there is an element of praise, too, and of wonder.” In a poem called “Keeping the Silence,” the poet describes herself as “hold[ing] a space apart” where she can “hear apples fall” and appreciate the slow slide of autumn into winter, “praising the gold / of diminishment.” “Silence is very rich. It’s able to receive gifts of creativity and beauty and spiritual strength that one does not experience with too much busyness, too much radio, too much TV, too much talk,” Connor says. “It’s always been a source of strength, understanding, perception.” Many of the poems paint aspects of Connor’s garden through the seasons. Opening her book to a piece called “On Their Own,” in which she writes of an “old garden” that has almost outgrown the need for tending, Connor matches the flowers described there with the ones in her own garden, which stretches 15 feet beyond the apartment’s small green patio. “Daffodils, in the second line, I have them right here. Iris, peonies, a rose or two, clematis on the post, I have it. The forget-me-nots are just over. I have planted it so that almost every season, there’s something in bloom. I who grow older can do less for them, but they still keep coming.” Flowers, Connor says, are “not so often metaphors as a springboard for thoughts. They cause you to stop and look and think.” If Connor’s poetry revels in scenes of vernal rebirth and autumnal ripeness — fat pumpkins,
her job as New York’s director of library development, she started writing poems. She had been at it for a decade when she took a Florida workshop with poet William Stafford, which she describes as a “pivotal experience.” “That clicked. A group of us emerged from the workshop as friends and fellow poets.” Stafford’s students developed a roundrobin group called “Verbal Events,” in which they exchanged poems by mail every two months. “We’ve kept it going for 20 years,” says Connor. Besides Stafford, who died in 1993, she has an abiding admiration for poets Mary Oliver and Stanley Kunitz. A Middlebury College graduate, Connor returned to Vermont in 1993. “I was seeking a lifecare community, and when I found out about this, I was delighted,” she says of Wake Robin, citing its “beautiful setting.” She became part of a nowdefunct group of six local poets who called themselves the “Lake Poets,” including Gladys Coburn and Valerie Graham. Connor writes poems the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper, and revises them as many as 20 times. She says she especially “struggled” with
If Connor’s poetry revels in scenes of vernal rebirth and autumnal ripeness — fat pumpkins, bees “wading” in flowers — it also draws a sense of wonder and beauty from silent, seemingly barren snowscapes. one called “After September 11th,” in which she speaks of writing a poem that is a sort of natural eulogy: “a slender prayer of grass, / with purple clover from the fields / to mark each name in the litany / of loss.” “I think we were all without words there, and you tend at first to go on much too long,” Connor says. “Such occasions call for something grand or important, and none of us are capable of that kind of a poem when faced with a major event. You feel impoverished; your abilities are not quite up to it.” Connor’s poems seldom deal explicitly with aging, though they touch on such resonant themes as the continuing presence of dead relatives through stories and the elusive truths of memory. She prefers not to interpret her poems for their readers, saying, “I hope they speak for themselves.” Indeed, the poems seem to speak in a hushed but clear voice, giving the reader a gift of heightened perception of a common experience. So it’s best, perhaps, to give the last word to a timely one called “Summer”: Every solstice should be as this one, suspended between evening and the slow coming on of stars,
bees “wading” in flowers — it also draws a sense of wonder and beauty from silent, seemingly barren snowscapes. “Often if you’re in a snow scene, it’s quiet,” Connor says. “Time has an ample feeling. There are things you can’t do when it snows, so you have a different kind of time. You can pause. You can enjoy what you already have.” A native of New York state, Connor says she didn’t always know she wanted to write. She was “happy, busy and fulfilled” in her 30-year career as a librarian and “didn’t have time to juggle” writing as well. But when Connor retired in 1975 from
the great bear first, then the jeweled crown. Let every solstice pause, linger in a meadow, imagined or real, blue with lupine, the fields wide, the self small, a place afloat between this fixed earth and the transparencies of clouds. Give silence room, there anger seeps away. Out of the hidden, fireflies may come to semaphore a blessing. Beneath the deepening sky, bright wands and an old cartography of peace.

t wasn’t quite rap, but when Trevien Stanger delivered his “poem/rant” to fellow graduating seniors last month at St. Michael’s College, “I put some style into it,” he says. Stanger isn’t exactly sure how he got to be the student commencement speaker. “I’m an English major and a writer — I don’t know, people thought I’d do a good job, I guess,” he says modestly, adding that the class president nominated him. It might have helped that Stanger, 22, had a poem published in SMC’s Onion River Review this spring; with some revisions, it formed the second half of his creative “speech.” The first half, Stanger explains, came together in the final week of school. “I spent a lot of time looking around, taking notes, being a passive observer at times,” he says. “And also we did a booze cruise on The Spirit of Ethan Allen, and I asked people to write their first thought in my notebook to the question, ‘What is college?’ At the end of the night I had this long list.” Stanger suggests that most of the entries “were shooting for the same thing: that it was these subtle interactions with one another, and how much being in the envi-

Stanger, who graduated cum laude, apparently succeeded in making his four minutes memorable. “Some kids came up to me and said, ‘I really liked your piece, but my mom loved it!’” And what about the other commencement speaker? “I forget his name,” Stanger admits. “It was a cardinal from the Vatican. He was interesting, but he gave a more methodical speech about truth and freedom.” Not that high-minded ideals were absent from St. Mike’s, but Stanger suggests the second part of his poem — about partying, really — conveys the human memories students will carry away along with their sheepskins. “I wanted to say it was some of the best times of people’s lives,” he suggests. “People in all their glory just basking in each other.” Stanger says he wanted to share his poem through Seven Days because “Burlington kind of goes on the same vibe I was going for there. Every day I walk around, this town just thrives with it.” His

Most theater aficionados are familiar with The Reduced Shakespeare Company’s hilarious, Cliff Notes approach to the Bard. Now a fledgling Addison County group is offering a local version. The Augenblick Theatre Company presents The Complete Works of WLLM SHKSPR (Abridged) this Thursday through Saturday at the Vergennes Opera House, where producing artistic director Stacie Reid Erickson works as the rentals manager. Erickson and her husband, actor/graphic designer Jory Raphael, comprise the core of Augenblick — a German word that means “in the moment,” explains Erickson, 27. Addison County thespians Matt Schlein and Tim Andrews will join Raphael on stage, presenting Shakespeare’s 37 plays in a hair under two hours. That had better include a potty break, because this is a wet-your-pants-laughing kind of show. More on Augenblick next week. m

minor seeking an abortion must show “she understands that some women have experienced severe remorse and regret” following the procedure. So wrote newly confirmed Federal Appeals Court Justice Priscilla Owen. It was 2000, and Owen was on the Texas Supreme Court hearing its first case under the state’s Parental Notification Act. To be excused from telling her parents — who might beat her black and blue — the law required a pregnant teen to demonstrate she was “sufficiently mature and wellinformed” to decide on her own. The justices stiffened the statute. “Wellinformed” now means knowledgeable about the alternatives to abortion and its risks. But Owen wanted more: The girl must also be aware of the religious arguments against abortion. And she must contemplate grief. The opinion reveals more than Owen’s zeal to save a fetus at any cost — including overstepping the law. It enshrines particular emotions as the only legitimate ones a woman might feel when ending a pregnancy.

Women make difficult choices all the time. Why should abortion be harder? If she really wanted to inform teens about the emotions around abortion, the judge might hand out DVDs of “Speak Out: I Had an Abortion,” a new film by Gillian Aldrich and Jennifer Baumgardner. In it, 11 women tell their stories. A couple express regret. Most express many other things. In 1938, Florence Rice, a laundress and single mother, was too poor to raise two children. Even when an illegal procedure landed her in Harlem Hospital, Florence resisted demands that she squeal on the abortionist. Now tiny and aged, she remains firm: “I have no regrets.” In 1953, Sally Aldrich got pregnant the first time she had sex. The abortionist groped her, and she felt “vile.” She tossed the diaphragm when her fiancé found her insufficiently “spontaneous.” Got pregnant again, found another abortionist. Sally was summoned before a grand jury. Like the doctor, she was called a criminal. She told her interrogators the doctor was a hero. In 1971, two years before Roe v. Wade, Florida undergrad Marion Banzhaf was as desperate as her foremothers, but rather than vile, she felt riled. She and her dormmates circulated a petition for legalization — and collected $350 for her legal abortion in New York. Afterwards, Marion says, she skipped down the street, singing. In 1992, Robin Ringleka-Kottke, a Catholic with a cheerleading scholarship, telephoned a Christian “crisis pregnancy center.” The counselors promised to shelter her and find her baby a home. But when they learned the father was black, their hearts turned. “I should have been so angry,” says the tearful Robin, but she was ashamed — and bereft of all options but
one. Waking in the recovery room, she felt “immensely relieved.” But for six silent years, “that seed of shame . . . thrived.” In 2003, A’yen Tran became pregnant by her abusive boyfriend. She procured an athome abortion drug, but it wasn’t until she was writhing in bed alone that she called her feminist mom. A’Yen is enraged that abortion opponents are “trying to . . . manufacture . . . guilt.” Yet even in her pro-choice circle, she cannot talk about her own abortion. These personal stories tell a historical one: The terrors of the pre-Roe era turned, fleetingly, to empowerment and joy in the feminist ’70s. Three decades later, abortion is again cloaked in shame and silence. Even among proponents, this hard-won right is considered a sad, if necessary, evil. Activist Marge Ripper calls it “the awfulization of abortion.” The youngest women in the film are torn by ambivalence. None wants a baby, yet almost all are indecisive about abortion. “Ambivalence is a function of legality,” observes Gloria Steinem. When she ended a pregnancy in 1957, desperation required resolve. Perhaps ambivalence is the wages of choice. You walk one road. What if the other was better? But women make difficult choices all the time. Why should abortion be harder? This ambivalence may be the greatest triumph of the anti-abortion movement. Sanctifying the fetus while demonizing women’s freedom as “selfishness,” it shifts moral sympathy from the woman to the potential baby. But the strategy is emotional: to unbalance the loss-gain equation of choosing. The loss is idealized: a perfect child, healthy, loved, provided-for. The gain is humbly real: life without pregnancy, with its rewards but also its disappointments. Even women who don’t share conservative values — who don’t believe nonmarital sex is sinful or abortion murder — can be induced to mourn the life they are not creating. Still, choosing isn’t abstract; rarely are consequences unambiguous. Leave a bad marriage, become a single parent. Win the just war, lose lives. Feminist Ann Snitow says, “It’s the existential condition” — until now, the masculine condition. By defeating the tyranny of the body, she adds, “abortion makes women existential actors,” like men. Abortion makes women equal. It makes them free: responsible for their own actions. This is not just a burden, though. It is empowering. And therein lies the strength of the pro-choice movement. At 44, mother of two, Annie Finch got pregnant. She and her husband felt another child would be catastrophic for their family, yet Annie wept for the unborn baby. Seizing existential freedom, Annie realized her power: to give or “to not give” life. Then she chose life — her existing family’s and her own. “Abortion is a real test for a woman’s self-respect,” says Annie. “It is to say, my life is worth this sacrifice.” 쩾

and told them it did not mean there was not support for the military in Vermont.� Currently, the Air Force is considering stationing up to 200 regular troops in Burlington. A first! In addition, the Pentagon is in the process of closing bases to save money. Recently, there was a big sigh of relief when Vermont’s Air Guard, despite older F-16s, made it through the first round of cuts unscathed. Though some resolution supporters “claimed we were using scare tactics,� Noyes said neither Adjutant Gen. Martha Rainville nor any Guard leaders lobbied against it. Members of the Vermont Guard, he noted, were free to contact their legislator on their own time and many, no doubt, did. The information a legislative study committee would seek about Guard readiness, he said, is already available. “We already know about our ability to respond,� said Noyes. “We never said we opposed the resolution, just that we had concerns about public hearings dissolving into emotional infighting about the current situation in Iraq.� Noyes also told us that he had heard from two Republican lawmakers from his hometown of Barre that Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy had personally weighed in at the last minute opposing the resolution. According to Noyes, the “gist� of Leahy’s message was, “If you want to ensure that Burlington gets to the top of the base closing list, then pass this resolution.� Republican Rep. Leo Valliere of Barre, a leading opponent of J.R.H. 47, told “Inside Track� he had been told by an unnamed Democrat on the morning of the scheduled vote that St. Patrick had called “Democratic leaders� the night before. Sen. Leahy, however, strongly denied through his spokesman that such a call was ever placed. “Gen. Noyes is incorrect,� said Leahy’s spokesman David Carle. “Neither the boss nor his staff made any such calls. He has a long-standing policy of trying not to get involved in matters before the state legislature, and neither he nor his staff intervened on this resolution.� Mr. Carle said the story of a last-minute intervention by St. Patrick “seems to be another product of the rumor mill kicking into overdrive in the closing days of the session.� Meanwhile, Brattleboro peace activist Ellen Kaye told “Inside Track� she was “really horrified at the implications of what happened� to kill the Guard resolution. “More than 50 Vermont towns,� said Kaye, “asked their legislature to do something very specific and the House chose instead to listen to a threat from the Pentagon.� Asked about what currently appears to be a dearth of antiwar activity, Kaye said she’d prefer to call it “a time of regrouping.� “Under the radar,� she said, “hundreds of groups are involved in counter-recruiting efforts, discouraging enlistment in the allvolunteer army. Down here,� said Kaye, “we go into six high schools
in southern Vermont on a regular basis throughout the year. We’re looking at the source, the source for bodies in this war.� And lately, U.S. military recruitment has taken a big hit, with the Army failing to meet monthly goals for the last several months. “We always say the military is the best counter-recruiter we’ve got,� said Kaye. “This war itself really helps people understand this is not a job opportunity or a career move. This is about being ready to fight and kill and possibly die. Current events are helping clarify that for people pretty easily.� Yes, they are, aren’t they?
Rep. Effective — In last week’s column we wrote about the Republican National Senatorial Committee’s new effort to paint Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders as “ineffective.� Sanders is the frontrunner for the U.S. Senate seat Jim Jeffords is giving up. The GOP, needless to say, wants it bad. That very day, however, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives adopted Sanders’ amendment removing federal authority in the Patriot Act to secretly snoop through library and bookstore records. The vote was 239-187. In all, 38 Republicans defied both House GOP leader Tom DeLay and President Bush, who hates Bernie’s amendment so much he’s threatened to veto the entire $57 billion spending bill. Ol’ Bernardo’s victory was front-page news in Burlington and across the country. But if you regularly get your news from WCAXTV, you might have missed it. The Sanders Amendment was debated on the House floor in mid-afternoon last Wednesday. The roll call vote was concluded at 5:50 p.m. The proceedings were carried live on C-SPAN. Ten minutes later, we tuned into the station that bills itself “Vermont’s Own,� expecting the victory by Vermont’s only congressman to get coverage. After all, it was “breaking news� and a hot national story to boot. We thought wrong. Ch. 3’s long-standing Republican bias against Bernie Sanders knows no limit. The “top� story on WCAX that evening was about a mudslide blocking Rt. 102 in the Northeast Kingdom and more rain storms in New York. I’m not making this up. The next story was about a Beekmantown, New York, twovehicle accident in which there were no injuries. Repeat, no injuries! Apparently, WGOP doesn’t get C-SPAN at their South Burlington headquarters. Not only did Sanders’ floor victory not make the top of Vermont’s top newscast, it might just as well have never happened as far as Anchorman and News Director Marselis Parsons was concerned. But it would be inaccurate to suggest WCAX totally ignored the story. The following day, after it was on the front page of The New York Times and broadcast on the national network news, Parsons finally did tell Ch. 3 News’ Six
2x5-marys062205
O’Clock audience about it. The Sanders Amendment story was the 13th news story on the WGOP, er, WCAX newscast that evening. After sports and weather. Excellent example of unbiased “news judgment,” eh? Of course, the amazing thing is that after 20 years of such treatment by Ch. 3, Sanders just keeps getting stronger.
When Chairs Collide — This season’s last edition of “PointCounterpoint,” taped at the Statehouse last Thursday, is a keeper, folks. Vermont Democratic Party Chairman Peter Mallary and Republican Party Chairman Jim Barnett went nose-to-nose for 33 minutes. To say things got heated is an understatement. The program starts running this week on Ch. 17 in the Burlington area. Check the ad on page 30 in this issue for airtimes. The slugfest is also available for online viewing at http://www.channel17.org/ dome.htm. Scroll down. Among other hot issues, the pair clashed on the candidacy of Bernie Sanders for the U.S. Senate. “I’m sure,” said Mallary, “that Mr. Barnett would be happy to contribute to a Democratic campaign for the Senate. I would say at this point that many, many Democrats think highly of Bernie Sanders and see a three-way race in that case as problematic. As chairman of the party, that’s really all I can observe at this point.” “I’m not surprised,” scoffed Barnett, “but it is somewhat startling in many ways, because Bernie Sanders is certainly someone who’s done the Democratic Party no favor. He’s decimated them in the city of Burlington. He’s regularly served as the spoiler. He’s run candidates against Democrats who in your view have cost you the elections.” Barnett whipped out a Bernie quote from 1988 in which the then Burlington mayor said, “When you get in bed with the Democratic Party, you find yourself having to work with people whose views are diametrically opposed to my views.” “Bernie Sanders has worked successfully for 14 years with the Democratic Caucus in Congress,” countered Mallary. “Look, we know why you want a Democrat in this race, because it’s the only way that you can elect a Republican to the Senate. You know it and I know it, and it’s just ridiculous!” P.S. GOP Chairman Barnett tells us he was 12 years old when Sanders made the above statement. “Political statements aren’t like Twinkies,” insisted Barnett. “There are no expiration dates.” Mad Dog eats Twinkies? That explains it. m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Peter Freyne, email freyne@sevendaysvt.com.

ery few Vermonters know what it’s like to be involved in a death-penalty case — and for opponents of capital punishment, that’s a good thing. Vermont is one of only 12 states in the nation without a death-penalty statute. Most people long STORY assumed that the only vestige of capital KEN punishment left in the state is the retired PICARD electric chair currently gathering dust in the Vermont History Center in Barre. IMAGE All that changed this week, as opening TIM NEWCOMB arguments began in federal court in Burlington in the trial of Donald Fell, the Death Penalty first defendant since 1962 to face the Speak-Out, death penalty in Vermont. Fell, 25, is Burlington accused of stabbing to death his mother, City Hall Debra, and Charles Conway, both of Auditorium, June 22, 7 p.m. Rutland. Fell is also accused of kidnapping and murdering Teresca King of North Clarendon, in November 2000. Fell’s alleged co-conspirator, Robert Lee, hanged himself in prison in September 2001, after telling police that Fell had committed all three murders. If Fell is found guilty and sentenced to death, he will be executed by lethal injection in a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. One of the only attorneys in Vermont to have defended a condemned prisoner is Michael Mello. The Vermont Law School professor got his first taste of the capitalpunishment system in the summer of 1982. A recent graduate of the University of Virginia law school, Mello was clerking for Federal Circuit Judge Robert Vance in Birmingham, Alabama, and was given the gruesomely titled job of “death clerk” — he handled all the court’s death-penalty cases. Mello’s first assignment was to draft an opinion in a case involving two AfricanAmerican men, Joseph Thomas and Ivon Stanley, who’d been convicted of kidnapping and robbing an insurance salesman in Georgia. According to Mello, both men had had dreadful representation at trial and were facing death sentences. Through the luck of the draw, Thomas had been assigned one of the best post-conviction, death-penalty lawyers in the country. Stanley’s attorney was woefully inept. “Writing that draft opinion was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” Mello recalls. “I still have nightmares about that case.”
No wonder. A year after the opinion was written, Stanley died in a botched execution when Alabama’s electric chair malfunctioned. One year later, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the jury instruction that had been used in his case unconstitutional. Co-defendant Thomas’ conviction was later reversed. “Everything that’s wrong with capital punishment — except innocence — was part of that case,” Mello recalls. “Exact same jury instruction, exact same crime, exact same case. Thomas was lucky. Stanley wasn’t.” Mello later became a capital public defender in Florida, where he represented some 70 death-penalty defendants, including serial killer Ted Bundy. For years, Mello also corresponded with convicted mail-bomber Theodore Kaczynski, who once asked that he represent him as well. Mello declined. Not only was he writing a book about the Unabomber, but his former boss and legal mentor, Judge Vance, was himself killed in 1989 by a mail bomb. Mello, who opposes the death penalty, has since written five books on the topic. He recently spoke with Seven Days about the Fell case. Mello has no involvement in the case and won’t speculate about how the jury may rule. He will make one prediction, however: The lives of everyone involved will be altered by the experience. SEVEN DAYS: What can you tell me about the death penalty in Vermont? MICHAEL MELLO: The history of capital punishment in Vermont is absolutely fascinating. Very colorful characters, very colorful issues, including potentially innocent people sentenced to death and executed, class and race discrimination — not against African-Americans, but against Irish and French-Canadians. In Vermont, as with everywhere else, if you have the financial resources, you have a much greater shot at justice . . . The last execution [in Vermont] was a double execution in the electric chair in 1954. In 1952, Francis Blair and Donald Demag escaped from the state prison in Windsor by crashing a laundry truck through the prison gates. They were

I’ve always said that no state without capital punishment is farther away from bringing it back than one hideous murder. MICHAEL MELLO
caught two days later following an intensive search. Both were convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of a woman named Elizabeth Weatherup of Springfield, who’d been bludgeoned by a lead pipe and robbed during their escape. Her husband was badly injured but survived. SD: What motivated the feds to seek the death penalty in Vermont for the first time in nearly 50 years? After all, U.S. Attorney Peter Hall didn’t originally ask for it. MM: My understanding is that [former U.S. Attorney General John] Ashcroft personally [made the decision]. There’s a charitable explanation, a less-than-charitable explanation and a paranoid explanation. The charitable explanation is geographical consistency. Federal law, including the federal death penalty, ought to be applied uniformly throughout all 50 states. Whether you live or die shouldn’t depend entirely on the fortuity of where you commit a capital crime. If you commit a carjacking with death resulting in Vermont, you shouldn’t automatically not be subject to the death penalty; whereas, if you drove across the state line into
New Hampshire, you would be. I have some sympathy for that [argument]. The less charitable explanation is that Ashcroft and Bush are really true believers in capital punishment because of their own history with the issue, especially Bush’s history as governor of Texas for eight years. They have a missionary impulse when it comes to capital punishment, and they want to help spread its benefits to those 12 benighted holdout states — probably all of which are “blue states” — that don’t have death-penalty statutes. The paranoid explanation is that Bush and Ashcroft have it in for Vermont to some extent. For such a small state geographically and in terms of population, we’ve been a big thorn in their side . . . Howard Dean during the campaign, civil unions, activist judges, gay marriage. How can one count the ways that Vermont annoys them? SD: Will this case become a barometer for Vermonters’ views on capital punishment? MM: Oh, absolutely. It’s already become that, which is remarkable to me because people don’t usually start paying attention to
[death penalty] cases until the trial starts. But there’s been a lot of interest in the Donnie Fell case, almost since the crime happened. These kinds of crimes just don’t happen in Vermont, and when you throw in the whole local prosecutors not seeking the death penalty . . . The conventional wisdom is that it’s very unlikely that a Vermont jury is going to sentence anyone to death. I think that [assumption] is absolutely wrong. SD: Is Vermont as liberal on the death-penalty issue as people assume it is? MM: No. Well, yes and no. This is one of those issues where I think there is a more stark dichotomy between what elite Vermonters think — people like you and me — and what average Vermonters believe. I’ve been involved a couple of times in the Vermont Legislature when capital-punishment bills have been introduced, and in those instances, there was no doubt in anyone’s minds that those bills weren’t going to go anywhere . . . But my own experience at my local convenience store is that with average Vermonters, especially native Vermonters, it’s about 50–50. If you go back and look at Doyle surveys [done annually on Town Meeting Day by Republican State Senator William Doyle], he’s asked about capital punishment seven times in the last 10 years. The most recent time was in 1999. And what he got back was 48 percent in favor — saying it should be restored — 41 percent said it shouldn’t be, and the rest undecided. So, by a slight margin, if the Vermont Legislature accurately reflected the will of >> 24A

the people, at least according to this poll, Vermont would restore the death penalty. SD: Do juries in capital-punishment cases tend to consider the broader political ramifications of their verdict when they deliberate, or do they tend to focus strictly on guilt versus innocence? MM: It’s impossible to ignore the larger context. But having said that, in my experience, jurors, and especially jurors in federal trials presided over by first-rate, really superb judges — and [Judge William] Sessions is one of those, in my opinion — do a remarkable job of doing their job. In trying to read the tea leaves on what this jury is going to do, the first and most important thing is that all reading of tea leaves is bogus. The jury doesn’t know what it’s going to do, and anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Second, this is a jury that, by definition, has been culled of all staunch opponents of capital punishment, as well as staunch supporters of capital punishment . . . One effect of that process, if the social scientists are to be believed, is VERMONT’S LAST ELECTRIC CHAIR that that process (PHOTO COURTESY OF VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY) results in juries that are unnaturally prone to convict. SD: Why is that? MM: It’s more likely that you’re going to be tossed [from the jury] if you come into the process opposing it rather than supporting it. This is a gross generalization, obviously, but it’s one that’s supported by social-science research and the anecdotal experience of zillions of capital trial lawyers, prosecutors and trial lawyers I’ve talked to over the years. If you oppose capital punishment, it’s more likely that you’ll, for example, tend to treat police officers’ testimony with more skepticism than you would otherwise. It’s more likely that you’re a person of color. You’re more willing to believe defense witnesses and the defendant if he takes the stand. This isn’t going to be true for every single person or even most people. But to generalize, opposition to capital punishment tends to carry along with it other values and beliefs that tend to favor the defendant over the prosecution. And the flipside is true for strong proponents of capital punishment. SD: Would a death sentence in the Fell case be more likely to galvanize opposition to capital punishment in Vermont — as it did around the Karla Faye Tucker case in Texas — or more likely to create momentum for reinstating the death penalty? MM: I’ve always said that no state without capital punishment is farther away from bringing it back than one hideous murder. That’s all it takes. In Vermont, if anything about the Fell case was going to galvanize support for bringing it back, I think it would have been the crime. And to the extent that this trial is going to be about the crime, it’s going to dredge that all back up, as it should. SD: Fell can be convicted of the crime but not sentenced to death, correct? MM: Absolutely. Two-part trial, same jury. The best way to think about the penalty phase is, it’s a whole separate trial devoted solely to one issue: Does the defendant deserve to die? Has he lost his moral entitlement to live? SD: What kind of enduring emotional or psychological impact can a guilty verdict have on jurors in this case? MM: The short answer is, no one is quite the same after this close an encounter with capital punishment. And it’s not just the jurors [but also] all the lawyers involved [and] the court personnel. Capital punishment affects everyone it touches, not always in dramatic ways, but in inchoate ways. And the more involved I’ve been in capital punishment as a system, the more convinced I am that perhaps the strongest reason for abolishing it is what it does to the people who are required to participate in this killing process. Which isn’t to say that we shouldn’t have the process. But it is to say that we shouldn’t have the process unless there is a very compelling, damn good reason for doing it. And there isn’t. 쩾

t age 26, Roderick Russell already has been a philosophy instructor and a CryoTransport Technician. He also plays classical guitar. But now he makes his living — a good one — as a sword swallowSTORY & er, escape artist, certified hypnotist and IMAGES “mentalist.” With his closely cropped dark GAIL ROSENBERG beard, glossed-back hair, lean build and French-cuffed shirts, he looks more like a Roderick Russell Banana Republic model. But then, there’s performs his no “typical” look for someone who makes multimedia a living by inserting 24-inch-long blades work-in-progress, into his esophagus. I met him through his “Experimental,” at the FlynnSpace, fiancée, Toni-Lee Sangastiano, who has found her own niche painting sideshow Burlington, June 23, 7:30 p.m. banners. Donations. What motivated this Burlington resident to take his first, er, plunge? “I wanted to explore the boundaries of human experience,” Russell says. “I wanted to help audiences realize that they could accomplish anything they wanted. Sword
swallowing is the Holy Grail of mind over body.” This Thursday at the FlynnSpace, he’ll demonstrate even more: how sword swallowing, movement, spoken word, live painting and narrative storytelling can be artistically combined. His work-inprogress, aptly entitled “Experimental,” is the result of a N.A.S.A. Grant from the Flynn, given to Vermont artists to help create new work. This is the first to involve life-threatening movements with swords. Getting to this particular stage took Russell some time, and practice. He began providing visual mind-over-body demonstrations in the philosophy classes he taught at a New Hampshire college. Eventually, he realized he could do the same on stage. He traveled to Italy to study with a sword swallower whom Russell says has reverence for the art, and

for his body. “I wanted to enter into the discipline with respect and appreciation, and not with a ‘just jam it down there’ attitude,� he says. Once he was comfortable with risking his life for an audience — and with his reasons for doing so — Russell underwent more than a year’s physical preparation, practicing three times a day. The first step, and most persistent problem in sword swallowing, is mastering the gag reflex. “You start by slowly poking and prodding with whatever instrument you’re using,� Russell explains. He used a sword from the beginning; others employ an unfurled wire coat hanger or a peacock feather. He also studied physiology and learned, among other things, that the esophagus isn’t as straight as, well, a sword. Other life-preserving lessons: “The stomach is much shallower than it appears, and it curves to the left. The epiglottis and trachea were surprisingly difficult obstacles for me to push past,� Russell says. “I learned to push the epiglottis closed with my hand, before learning to control it with the tip of a sword. Then I hold my breath for a split second, as the sword glides past the closed epiglottis. Getting past the heart is always a touchy moment. I need to turn the sword a little to the left to get into my stomach.� Before swallowing the sword, Russell licks the blade. “A dry sword is even more difficult to swallow,� he says wryly.

Getting past the heart is always a touchy moment. I need to turn the sword a little to the left to get into my stomach. RODERICK RUSSELL even thinking about this might take a cue from Russell, who must be utterly relaxed to perform such dangerous maneuvers. He used to meditate for a half-hour to quiet his mind and body; now he does so for only a few minutes. Thanks to a year and a half of conditioning, he quickly reaches a self-hypnotic state. “Nothing exists for me but the sword, my body, my esophagus,� he claims. On stage, Russell remains in this state, which is a good thing: “If there are flashing bulbs, I won’t react. Nothing can shake me from the task,� he says. Russell moved to Vermont in the spring of 2003, attracted to the state’s beauty and quality of life, and in order to pursue a business relationship with wellknown, local hypnotist Steve Taubman. The pair had often found themselves performing together, or in separate shows at the same venues. That fall, they co-produced a show called “Trance-Formations,� which was also presented at the FlynnSpace. The two are currently working on separate projects, and perform together occasionally. Russell lives with Sangastiano. They met and fell in love at — where else? — a sideshow convention three years ago. Unlike some sword swallowers, Russell takes good care of himself. He’s athletic and a vegetarian, and drinks lots of homemade fruit and vegetable juices. He doesn’t smoke or drink alcohol. Double lattes might be his only dietary vice. But they don’t interfere with his
life-threatening career. Russell calls sword swallowing “the most dangerous feat of human endurance.� That’s probably why it’s lonely at the top of this profession. There are only about 52 sword swallowers — 47 men and five women — in the entire world, according to the Antioch, Tennessee-based Sword Swallowers’ Association International (SSAI). To be “approved� to participate in SSAI’s “Big Swallow,� one must use a sword that is at least 15 inches long. The average adult esophagus ranges from 12 to 15 inches in length. Eat your heart out, Linda Lovelace. When the Discovery Health Channel wanted to do a program on sword swallowers, it chose Russell, a passionate and articulate practitioner of the art. (The program aired in January and May 2005.) Because of my interest in sideshows, Russell invited me along on the trip last fall to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, for the filming. We arrived on a Friday morning at the Wyoming Valley Hospital and were escorted to the second-floor radiology lab. The sign on the door said “X-Ray 1. In Use.� Radiologist Dr. Patrick DeGennaro was to be the “impartial witness.� Hospital staff cleared the small room to make as much space as possible for the film crew and key personnel: a supervisor of radiology, the in-charge tech radiolo>> 30A

RUSSELL’S ACT IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH.
gist, a gastroenterologist and Dr. D, as hospital colleagues called him. As a 22-inch sword slowly descended through Russell’s esophagus, Dr. D anxiously tracked its progress on a fluoroscope machine. “The sword is going through the cervical esophagus,” he narrated in a neutral voice. “Now it’s in the esophagus proper . . . It’s just gone by the aorta . . . The tip is in the lower esophagus . . . It’s almost to the stomach. This is very dangerous.” When Russell pulled the sword out in one fluid movement, Dr. D’s “Well done” was tinged with relief. A physician with four decades of experience, he’d seen images of people who had swallowed keys, coins, dental plates and even a pen — but until then, never a sword. Four other doctors and hospital staff, as well as two reporters from the local ABC affiliate, joined us in the small room. Everyone wanted to see the sword swallower perform. One doctor said, “This is a circus.” Close. It would be more accurate to call it a sideshow. Dr. D commented that Russell’s sword could have gone a lot deeper if he had wanted it to. As if on cue, Russell stepped out from behind the fluoroscope and, with a flourish, pulled an even longer sword
from his case. He asked Dr. D to let him know when he’d gone far enough. Then he repeated his unnerving action. This time Russell withdrew the sword only after it had reached the edge of his stomach. Then Dr. D turned to the camera and summed up. “We followed the sword down to his stomach,” he intoned solemnly. “This is no trick. It’s very real.” Russell’s audiences are not usually so clinical. Performing last September at the Mount Snow Brewers’ festival, he brandished a lit torch and walked through the crowd to get people interested. When he’d attracted an audience of about 100, he “ate” a little fire just to warm things up. Then Russell chatted with the crowd. Though he’s repeated some version of this patter dozens of times, it sounded casual and fresh. “We’re going to be playing a number of dangerous games, games that put me at personal risk,” he told the audience. “This risk requires me to be able to read and influence everyone here in order to be safe and successful.” While talking, he studied the audience’s reaction. Most of his acts are interactive, and he picks people from the crowd to assist him. By the time he was ready to swallow the sword, the crowd was riveted. He tilted his head back and inserted the sword into his mouth. Some of the onlookers put their hands to

865-9628 their lips, staring in disbelief; others averted their eyes. The sword descended; the crowd gasped. And when Russell finally pulled the sword out, they cheered wildly. “My most important duty as a performer is to entertain,” Russell says. “I want people to leave my performances happy, mesmerized and thinking that they too are capable of anything they set their minds to.” He’ll get another chance to entertain, and bend minds, this week at the Flynn. For Russell, sword swallowing is not a stunt; nor is fire eating, or escape art, or even his mastery with cards, he says. Whether he’s performing at a college or a corporate show, a festival or theater, he emphasizes “the power of the human mind, body and spirit.” Declares Russell, “There’s an overwhelming intellectual, almost spiritual, aspect to what I do.” Though he enjoys performing in any venue, Russell says he particularly loves the Flynn. For his 2003 show, he combined sword swallowing and t’ai chi. He also choreographed the piece to Taiko drumming, and developed the lighting concept. At that performance, Russell finally got the audience response he says he’d been seeking. “I’d been performing various sword-swallowing routines for years and had always received hoots and hollers,” he says. “But this was a response of heartfelt appreciation.” The Flynn’s performing-arts grant has enabled Russell to create a series of multi-media vignettes. He will surely be the world’s first sword swallower to include in his performance a tango routine, a commentary on the role of the media in society, and storytelling. Given some of his influences — the Shen Wei Dance Troupe, Laurie Anderson, Momix and Philip Glass — his work-inprogress promises to go down pleasurably. “What I hope to get from the grant work,” Russell says, “is not in any sense a finished product, but a chance to explore where the process of creation within that framework leads me. It’s a chance to take a risk.” From a sword swallower, you’d expect nothing less. m

WHY VERMONT NEEDS MORE TRAILER PARKS BY KEVIN J. KELLEY — IMAGES BY JORDAN SILVERMAN
Dick Highter doesn’t conform to anyone’s stereotype of “trailer trash.” The retired postal auditor does live in a trailer park, but it doesn’t fit the image of backwoods poverty or roadside blight held by many Vermonters who live on firmer foundations. Tall Timbers is the apt name of the development that Highter and 150 other trailer dwellers call home. The leafy enclave hidden off Route 4 and bordering Quechee State Park includes a community swimming pool at the center of a web of paved lanes that run past trimmed lawns and driveways filled with SUVs. The scene resembles a suburban idyll more than it does “an Arkansas tin-can setup” — which is how John Walling, a Vergennes mobile home dealer, describes the common conception of trailer parks. Tall Timbers may be exceptional, but only in quality, not in kind. It’s one of 250 trailer parks scattered around the state, and Highter is one of nearly 50,000 Vermonters who live in what many prefer to term “mobile homes” or “manufactured housing.” These units, which account for 7.7 percent of the homes in the state, are by far the most affordable housing options. The median sales price of a Vermont home stood at $165,000 last year, while a household earning the state’s median income could afford to pay only $115,000 for a house, according to the Vermont Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The average purchase price of a new doublewide mobile home was $57,100, and the average price of a used mobile home was $25,000. So it’s no mystery why one of every 12 Vermonters lives in a trailer. What’s not so self-evident is the demographic makeup of the state’s trailer parks. The Housing Department doesn’t compile statistics on the incomes or occupations of Vermont’s mobile-home dwellers, but other sources offer informed impressions. “There’s no such thing as a typical customer of mine,” says Karl Jensen, owner of Colonial Mobile Home Supply in Winooski. “For a lot of people, it’s a first home, and they have dreams of trading up, of buying a regular house. Some have had bigger homes and want to downsize. I also see a lot of families with kids. Some people are happy living in a mobile-home park; some aren’t. “I hate the word ‘trailer’ because of all it connotes,” Jensen adds. “Those associations aren’t fair to people who work hard and take care of their property.” Some parks, however, are in sorry shape, and individual irresponsibility is clearly the prime cause of dilapidation in at least a few cases. “Like all homeowners,” says Highter, “there are those who let their properties run down and there are many who do not.” Either way, some residents of mobile-home parks live in circumstances that do not encourage a sense of stewardship. Unlike almost all other forms of real estate, trailers steadily depreciate in value. And the land on which they sit can be sold out from under occupants with 18 months’ notice. Other problems besetting nearly all the state’s mobile-home communities are attributable neither to the residents nor to the landlords who own the lots, as well as some of the homes. These pressures and predicaments are slowly shrinking the stock of mobile-home parks in Vermont. Forty have closed in the past 20 years, with a total of 352 lots lost in the past decade, says Arthur Hamlin, state housing program coordinator for mobile home parks. In other words, at a time when a majority of Vermonters cannot afford to buy a median-priced home, the supply of eminently affordable housing is dwindling. An advisory commission on mobile and manufactured housing established last year by Gov. James Douglas has identified the key issues accounting for the drop-off. This is the fourth such commission assembled in the past 18 years, and many of the concerns are familiar.
Some Vermonters who would like to buy a mobile home cannot find financing at rates they can afford. Meanwhile, the cost of maintaining a park has risen sharply in recent years as infrastructure ages and as landlords struggle to comply with stricter federal regulations. Again, the commission observed, financing is often unavailable for repairing or upgrading water and waste sys-
Rooms with a View: Shelburnewood Vicki Carleton remembers her amazement about a year ago, when she and her husband, out for an afternoon drive, happened upon the Shelburnewood Mobile Home Park. Carleton was struck by the beauty and tranquility of the almost-secret site, tucked behind the now-shuttered Shelburne Inn, on 22 mostly forested acres bordering the LaPlatte River. Despite its seclusion, the park is within walking distance of a shopping center, post office, public school and library. Shelburnewood is also steps from the bus line to Burlington. And the monthly rent for each of the 28 lots comes to $258. Carleton, who had been renting in Burlington, didn’t hesitate when one of the units came up for sale. Along with all the other amenities, she now has the garden she’d long wanted. But Carleton’s delight turned to dismay just three months after she moved in. She and the park’s other residents received notice in February that the owners, Marvin and Sue Thomas, intended to shut down Shelburnewood. All the households would have to find somewhere else to situate their trailers no later than August of next year. What the notice didn’t say is that the Thomases had signed a tentative agreement to sell the property for $2.2 million to Charlotte developer Gregg Beldock. The couple had also not apprised park residents that under Vermont law they would have 45 days to decide whether to make their own offer for the property, and a further 90 days to negotiate a sales agreement with the current owners. Having formed a residents’ association, the
park’s homeowners and landleasers appear determined to remain right where they are. Some of the 50 residents also express confidence that a deal will be worked between the Thomases and a nonprofit housing agency that wants to buy the park. Among the optimists are Pat Lawrence, a selfemployed medical courier, and his wife Sandra Lawrence, who works nights at a nursing home in Burlington. They say Shelburnewood is too nice a place to leave. “Where we’re at can’t be beat,” Pat Lawrence declares. The couple arrived in 1992, after their two daughters grew up and moved away. The Lawrences live in the site’s rear-most home, looking out on a meadow where deer occasionally graze. Pat Lawrence says he’s also seen a bear walking down the road and has heard that lynx live in the woods near the river. Because of its desirable location, the Lawrences’ home has appreciated in value — which is the reverse of what happens with most trailers. Pat Lawrence says he paid $42,500 for the unit and was offered $50,000 for it last summer. Carleton, a photographer, points to the diversity of the park’s residents. Several are retirees, but one home is occupied by a PhD student at the University of Vermont, his wife and their 2-yearold child. “These make great starter homes, transitioning homes and senior homes,” says Carleton, who hopes to move to a non-mobile home in a few years. The Lawrences say Shelburne officials and many townspeople have been supportive of the effort to >> 36A
tems. Another reason why the number of mobile home parks is declining, according to the commission’s report: “Impediments to development.” That’s a nice way of saying many Vermonters will fiercely resist proposals to site a trailer community anywhere near their more “respectable” homes. Even self-styled liberals sometimes pale at the prospect of trailer folk moving into the neighborhood. State law prohibits towns from blocking development of mobile-home parks solely because of what they are. “We’ve still got to educate some towns as to their obligations,” Hamlin notes. Seeking to clear away some of the impediments to this kind of development, state officials have streamlined the permitting process for mobile home parks. Procedures need to be further >> 34A

the financing fix
W
ith the price of site-built single-family homes soaring way beyond their reach, many more low-income Vermonters would probably turn to the affordable mobile-home alternative — if only they could find financing for such purchases. Few conventional lenders are willing to do business with potential mobile-homeowners. They’re viewed as high-risk borrowers, often because of a troubled or
largest source of mortgage financing, Fannie Mae, returns to the mobile home marketplace, Adams says. The Federal National Mortgage Association — Fannie Mae’s formal title — bailed out of mobile-home securities in 2000 after losing hundreds of millions of dollars in that sector. The industry itself had gone into a nosedive in the late ’90s, after seducing thousands of borrowers who couldn’t afford to make the payments on
nonexistent credit history as well as employability issues. The very nature of such homes also makes lenders wary, notes Vermont Deputy Banking Commissioner Thomas Candon. The high-risk designation “may not be due to a person’s creditworthiness, but because some of the homes and the parks they’re in are quite old,” Candon says. Unlike other housing types, mobile homes tend to depreciate in value, making it impossible for their owners to build equity. Mobile homes 30 years and older are often considered virtually worthless. “I don’t think anybody does loans on homes built in the 1970s — and there are plenty of those still around,” says Karl Jensen, a former bank manager in Richmond who now runs a mobile-home supply business in Winooski. Another problem: Vermont law does not define mobile homes situated on rented land as real estate, so a potential purchaser can’t get a home mortgage from a bank, but must rely on a personal loan, instead. “The Vermont Legislature has to act to change this definition,” says Dick Highter, a Quechee mobile-home owner who serves on Gov. James Douglas’ advisory commission on mobile and manufactured housing. “We’re already being taxed as though a mobile home is real property, and the rates on a loan can be double what they’d be for a mortgage.” A few trustworthy sources of mobilehome financing do operate in the state. The Vermont Housing Finance Agency, for example, made $10.5 million in mobile home loans in its most recent fiscal year, says David Adams, VHFA’s chief of program operations. That sum represents almost 20 percent of all the lending for single-family homes arranged by VHFA in the past year. The agency was created by the legislature in 1974 to finance housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters without using state tax dollars. For all of VHFA’s efforts, Vermonters won’t see those bucks until the nation’s
their mobile homes. These units were then repossessed, driving down prices and smothering demand for new manufactured homes. Fannie Mae, whose mission is to promote home ownership, has actually begun inching back into the mobile-home sector. Fannie announced last year that it had joined with nine reputable lenders around the country to provide access to affordable mobile-home financing, though on more stringent terms than before. The effects of this move have yet to be felt in Vermont. Opportunities Credit Union is the other major source of financing for Vermonters trying to buy mobile homes. In the past three years, the statewide institution has made a total of $5.4 million worth of mobile-home loans to about 180 borrowers, according to Opportunities Ventures director Dawn Moskowitz. The credit union’s innovative counseling approach to lending has benefited thousands of Vermonters who were otherwise unable to qualify for loans. Opportunities also warns potential borrowers about “predatory lenders.” These unscrupulous creditors often conceal exorbitant interest rates, and charge hidden fees that can saddle the unsuspecting borrowers with debts they can’t meet. The credit union estimates that as many as 45,000 Vermonters, including mobile-home borrowers, may have been bitten by these loan sharks. That’s an unsubstantiated figure, suggests Commissioner Candon. His state Banking Department has received “few if any complaints” about predatory lending, Candon says. Opportunities Credit Union is unable to provide specific examples of the practice in Vermont, he adds. The credit union does offer a case study involving a “Mr. and Mrs. W,” who sought to refinance their doublewide mobile home and pay off credit-card debts incurred as a result of health problems. The couple turned to a lender who proved to be a predator, according to
Vermont law does not define most mobile homes as real estate, so a potential purchaser can’t get a home mortgage from a bank, but must rely on a personal loan, instead.
Opportunities. “The result was $7800 in fees and loan payments hundreds of dollars higher than before. After 20 years and $260,000 in payments, they would still owe $65,000,” the credit union reported in a recent newsletter. Opportunities Credit Union president Caryl Stewart also takes issue with Candon’s sanguine assessment. “We respectfully have a different view from Mr. Candon of what is predatory,” Stewart says. “We often see things that may not be against the law, but that we consider abusive. I am talking about people who are charged interest rates on a 20-year home loan that might be appropriate for a three-year used-car loan.” The credit union also applies the term “abusive” to loan structures that include capitalized fees and charges that inflate home values, and large balloon payments that have not been adequately explained to borrowers, Stewart adds. Jensen, the ex-banker, says “Usury is a common phenomenon” in the mobilehome industry. Apart from VHFA and Opportunities, sources of mobile-home lending are based out of state, making it hard for borrowers to contact them directly, Jensen notes. Interest rates charged by these lenders can be in the teens, he adds. Tim Ashe, a Burlington City Councilor and head of a mobile-home project run by the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, says he has seen clients with interest rates of between 12 and 19 percent on mortgages for new mobile homes. State law does cap lending rates for mobile home purchases. The limit is the same as for installment purchases of motor vehicles — currently, 18 percent for 2004 and 2005 models, and 20 percent for older properties. In many cases, mobile-home financing is arranged by mobile-home dealers. And with the shadiest lenders having been driven out of business by the industry’s crash, potential buyers in Vermont may now be able to get relatively good loan rates and terms through local dealers. Mark Brault, owner of a mobile-home sales business in Colchester, says he won’t use lenders who gouge on rates or who impose costly terms. Credit unions are among the sources he relies on, Brault says. While he doesn’t excuse lenders’ predatory practices, Brault argues that some borrowers shouldn’t expect to receive favorable rates. “The problems I’ve seen are pretty much self-inflicted,” he says. “You can’t come out of bankruptcy in the past year and demand that you get the prime rate plus 1 percentage point.” Vermonters can learn about mobilehome financing from their counterparts in New Hampshire. Caryl Stewart touts the Granite State’s model of cooperatively owned mobile-home parks. The New Hampshire Community Loan Fund has assisted in establishing 68 mobile-homepark co-ops, compared to only four such co-ops that exist in Vermont. A key difference is that mobile homes in New Hampshire are treated as real property for purposes of titling and lending. Douglas’ commission is examining ways to emulate that approach in Vermont. A comeback now underway within the national mobile-home industry may also open new avenues for mobile-home ownership in Vermont. The sales price of many units has increased in the past few years, but so has the quality of construction and the range of models. At Town and Country Homes in Vergennes, for example, buyers can find a two-story, 1531-square-foot, wooden-sided manufactured home on sale for less than $90,000. Prospects for the industry’s growth have proved attractive to none other than Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest men in the world. A Buffett company acquired a leading mobile home manufacturer for $1.7 billion in 2003. K.J.K.

modified so more parks can be built, says Mike Momaney, director of development for the Vermont State Housing Authority. “I don’t have a lot of sympathy for the NIMBYs,” Momaney says. “But I’m already seen as the original evil person. I’m a real estate developer in Vermont.” Only about five mobilehome communities have opened in the state during the past decade. Three were sponsored by nonprofit housing agencies, which are playing an increasingly important role in preserving this crucial and endangered source of housing. Groups such as the Vermont Housing Conservation Board and the Vermont State Housing Authority are stepping in to rescue parks in danger of closing. These can be redemptive interventions, for many residents of old and battered units could not move their so-called “mobile” homes even if there were other lots to accommodate them — which, in the most populous parts of the state, there are not. The statewide vacancy rate in mobile-home parks stood at 3.8 percent as of last September, but that figure conceals significant regional differences. While several parks in the Northeast Kingdom have many empty trailers and vacant lots, in Chittenden County and elsewhere in northwestern Vermont, where 40 percent of the state’s mobile-home lots are situated, availability is practically nil. The squeeze would be even tighter were it not for the nonprofits, which now own 41 such parks in Vermont; three that they purchased have been turned into resident-controlled cooperatives. The 2100 lots owned or leveraged by the nonprofits represent more than one-quarter of all the home sites in the state’s trailer parks. When a not-for-profit housing agency takes over from a private owner, it often makes physical improvements. But these experienced, resourceful and well-intentioned groups have to grapple with the same problems that had put parks up for sale in the first place. The deterioration that can lead an owner to search desperately for a buyer may not be the result of deliberate negligence. Just as most residents don’t conform with outsiders’ caricatures, many private park owners aren’t the villainous slumlords that leftists might imagine. It’s not easy to get rich off the rents at a typical Vermont trailer park. Keeping the place up to code can pose financial challenges, especially when pieces of the infrastructure start to break down, as hap>> 36A

pens regularly in older parks. “By and large, mobile-home parks in Vermont were built by Mom and Pop on marginal real estate of little value at the time,” says Momaney. “These places weren’t designed or engineered. And now they’ve got infrastructure problems, so Mom and Pop are looking to get out.” The pressures have been heightened by state and federal laws mandating tougher standards for septic systems and drinking water. “Vermont, with the best of intentions, has actually made it more difficult for a lot of owners to stay in business. It costs them a phenomenal amount of money to do what the law requires,” Momaney says. Unless some public money is made available to assist in infrastructure upgrades, “we’re not going to make housing available in this state to households earning less than $35,000 a year,” Momaney declares. Some industry sources argue that would-be investors have also been discouraged by a state law that gives residents the option to purchase a park when a private owner posts a legally required notice of intent to sell. “The shortage of sites has a lot to do with Vermont policies,” says Mark Brault, owner of a mobile-home dealership in Colchester. “That right to purchase a park first has scared off anyone with some interest in developing a park.” Maintenance of the homes themselves can also be costly for landlords. Dick Rooney, owner of Livingston’s Trailer Park in Shelburne, owns seven of the 19 units on property within a towering tee shot of the Kwiniaska Golf Club. “I’ve had some problems with tenants because you don’t get the class of people you would have if the homes were owned by the occupants,” Rooney says. “Some of the places are left in pretty bad shape.” He tells of one family who would lock two young children in a bedroom for hours at a time, leaving the kids to relieve themselves on the floor. “We had to rip out the rugs and really fumigate that one,” Rooney relates. Other tenants do take pride in their homes. Jim Brow, for example, has been living in a rented trailer at Rooney’s site since last October. He moved there from an apartment on lower Church Street in Burlington to escape the noise and to have a yard. Brow, who is disabled and dependent on Social Security, points to the roughly 200 square feet of fenced-in grass beside his new home. “This is a fine place,” he says. “I’d live in a trailer from now on.” Brow would be hard-pressed to get a better deal. He says he pays $79 a month in rent, thanks to a Section 8 federal housing subsidy. Rooney says he manages to >> 38A

preserve these affordable homes in one of Vermont’s priciest communities. And Shelburnewood residents are counting on some local philanthropists to help make the sale happen. It won’t be an easy deal, says Mike Momaney, who has helped engineer several mobile-home-park sales in Vermont on behalf of the Housing Foundation Inc. HFI is looking for ways to finance what would be the most expensive sale of its kind. Burlingtonbased Opportunities Credit Union has also offered to help Shelburnewood residents finance the purchase of the property from the Thomases. Opportunities arranged mortgages last year for eight of 14 households in a Waterbury mobile-home park that would otherwise have been sold to a private developer. But a similar arrangement with the credit union would probably not be realistic in the case of Shelburnewood, says Carleton, who serves as vice president of the residents’ association. She notes that some of the park’s older residents have no interest in taking out mortgages. “How can you expect a 90-year-old to make that kind of commitment?” Carleton asks. HFI has considerable experience in these sorts of transactions, having purchased about 20 mobile-home parks in Vermont. Momaney says his group can probably find financing to cover the $400,000 to $600,000 cost of the roughly six acres on which Shelburnewood’s mobile homes are sited. “This part is a typical deal for us,” he notes. Conservation groups are said to have expressed interest in contributing to the estimated $300,000 cost of preserving other land near the LaPlatte. A pair of non-mobile houses also situated on the Shelburnewood site could fetch $300,000 more as a combined sales price, Momaney figures. But that still leaves the $1 million cost of the rest of the property. Perhaps an upscale housing developer will find the land attractive enough to pay that kind of price, Momaney suggests. A small building lot in Shelburne goes for about $30,000, he notes, so the Shelburnewood site would have to be densely developed. The residents and HFI have until September to hammer out a deal with the Thomases. “It’s too early to know whether it’s going to happen,” Momaney says, adding, “Everything we’ve looked at so far does seem positive.” The Thomases did not return messages requesting their view of the negotiations. One potential issue is the condition of the park’s infrastructure. Pat Lawrence says it’s generally sound, though the sewage system will eventually need to be upgraded — at a cost that could reach $750,000, he estimates. The 55-year-old enclave has been more diligently maintained than some mobile home parks half its age. The residents care about their properties, Carleton says. A trailer next to her own has been abandoned for several months, “but the neighbors keep it up,” she notes. “We like where we live and we want to keep it looking good.” K.J.K.
Shelburne Wood’s homeowners and landleasers appear determined to remain right where they are.

make a good living from the park, which has deeply rutted roads and a generally ramshackle appearance. He acknowledges that developers would pay plenty for this particular piece of real estate, but Rooney has no intention of selling. “The low-income people pay me enough, and they’d have nowhere to go if I sold out,” he says. Other owners reaching retirement age don’t share Rooney’s solicitude for lot renters, and are eager to cash out on the best possible terms. In some situations, such as Shelburnewood (see sidebar), the most attractive price may be offered by a developer who plans to close the park and transform it into an upscale development. But the same right of first refusal that Brault complains about can result in sellers still getting a good price even as the residents are able to remain in their homes.

long as VHFA has a loan outstanding on a home within the park, Adams notes. Conditions improved significantly when the Housing Foundation, Inc. (HFI) — an arm of the agency for which Momaney works — purchased Mountain View Mobile Home Park in Hinesburg. “All the electrical was upgraded and a new sewer system was installed,� says Dave Muzzy, president of the park’s residents’ association. Now, however, HFI is failing to enforce some of its own rules, adds Muzzy, 60, who retired from IBM and now works as a screener at Burlington International Airport. Four or five lawns in the 52-lot development are overgrown, and “the roads are in terrible shape,� Muzzy complains. In addition, two trailers on the property are abandoned — one for the past five years. “The manager said it would cost too much to move them out of here,� Muzzy says. “The standard answer we get when we want something done is that there’s no money to do it. In my opinion, HFI has gotten too big to manage what it owns. They do a pretty good job overall, but things here aren’t as good as they used to be,� says Muzzy, who has lived at Mountain View for 30 years. Momaney acknowledges that maintaining parks is sometimes difficult for his agency, which owns 20 of them in Vermont. He cites one in Springfield where HFI has encountered “constant problems in collecting rents and keeping the park in reasonable shape.� Momaney and other advocates acknowledge that some mobile home residents exhibit social pathologies associated with poverty. “We’re often dealing with families that are just one paycheck away from disaster,� Momaney says. “And that’s a very difficult, stressful way for anyone to live. Owners of some parks allow deterioration to continue unchecked, knowing they have little to fear in the way of enforcement and penalties from state authorities. The Department of Housing and Community Affairs can’t levy fines to force compliance with state standards, according to Tim Ashe, director of a mobilehome project sponsored by the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity. As a result, “when a park resident’s rights are being violated, he or she is given two real options,� Ashe says. The resident can complain to the park owner and hope for benevolence, or hire a lawyer, Ashe suggests. “Problem is, benevolence and money for lawyers aren’t growing on trees for these people.� m

Goal Oriented Kick-starting intercultural soccer in Vermont
new sound is in the air at Burlington’s Oakledge Park: soccer players shouting in Spanish, Somali and English. The men and women spraying sweat as they dribble and pass through fields of white clover are practicing for the First Vermont STORY International Heritage Soccer Cup. The SARAH tournament, which runs from June 25 to TUFF August 20, is open to players ages 20 and up. And it’s helping many participating IMAGE MATTHEW athletes return to a sport they last played THORSEN in dusty rectangles in Africa or on the streets of South America. The game is not For info about the only thing they’re reclaiming. the First Vermont “This is not just a soccer game; this is a International cultural event,” says Burlington’s Jairo Heritage Blanco, who helped organize the program. Soccer Cup, Taking a break from practice, he points check http://www. vermontvoltage. out a friend from Paraguay and another com. guy from Colombia who’s never played the sport before. “It’s more of a mental release to be here with your own culture,” Blanco says. “This is how the rest of the world has fun.” The sport is generally credited to the Anglo-Saxons, and the first “football” association was formed in England in 1863. But various versions of soccer have spanned the globe for centuries. Evidence suggests that 2000 years ago, members of the military during China’s Han Dynasty trained with soccer-like leather balls filled

own identity in the acculturation process.” Blanco has been working to expand recreational offerings for members of minorities in Vermont for a while. Two years ago, he and four others created the Vermont Latin Alliance, a grassroots organization to address Latino issues, including health. As a volunteer consultant with the state health department’s Healthy Vermonters 2010 initiative, Blanco saw no preventive measures — such as sports, recreational activities and events — geared toward the Latino community, or any other ethnic community in Vermont, he says. “Cultural identity sports don’t exist.” Such activities are valuable, he adds, because “They bring not only a level of comfort, but also mental recreation and mental fulfillment.” In 2005, at Blanco’s request, Governor Douglas appointed him to the fitness council. Blanco’s proposal for a statewide soccer tournament for adults was the first step toward the Vermont International Heritage Soccer Cup. “We had tried to reach underserved communities before, indirectly through the Run Girl Run! program,” says Lewis, referring to the statewide program for middle-schoolers. “So there’s some history, some precedent, but not in the interactive style that Jairo suggested.”

with feathers and hair. According to a recent survey by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, more than 240 million people worldwide play soccer today. Millions more participate informally. FIFA itself is composed of 205 associations representing even more countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Whether it’s called soccer or football, “the beautiful game” is the world’s favorite. In Vermont, though, the sport has largely belonged to youth organizations. “I think we’re fifth in the nation in terms of soccer development,” says Williston’s Richard Lewis, who just stepped down from his post as chair of the Vermont Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Once kids become adults, they have few formal opportunities to play. Blanco is determined to change that. A cyclist and third-degree black belt in Shotokan Karate-do who has represented Colombia and the U.S. in major martialarts tournaments, Blanco also enjoys American football and skiing. But for all that, he missed soccer, and he sensed that many new immigrants to Vermont were also likely feeling that lack. “We have transplanted cultures trying to continue with healthy attitudes, to be happy,” he says. “And it’s very difficult, because you need to adapt, and you lose a lot of your
To establish the International Heritage Soccer Cup, Blanco had enlisted support from the semi-pro Vermont Voltage soccer club, and spread the word among European community groups and North American players. He also solicited support from sponsors such as Heritage Ford to help defray the costs of uniforms and field time, which can reach quadruple digits. Blanco also met with the Association of Africans Living in Vermont, an organization with 800 adults and children from 28 African nations. The response was enthusiastic. “Soccer is the popular sport in Africa,” says Lusenge Siriwayo, who emigrated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. For months, Siriwayo says, his fellow immigrants had been asking him where they could play soccer. Those who’d arrived in winter were disheartened by the sight of snow-covered fields. “‘They’d say, ‘Man! What?’” Siriwayo says with a laugh, “We’ll be able to play one day here?’” The snow was still on the ground when Somalian Ahmed Omar came to Vermont in March; a photo shows his family wearing layers of clothing. Omar, who was born in 1978 in Kismayo, started playing soccer when he was 12 and joined his first team three years later, at a refugee camp in Kakuma, Kenya.

Another picture from that time shows Omar sitting on a dirt soccer field in Kenya. He’s wearing an orange uniform and stretching his palms to the sky. “I played on a total of three different teams,” Omar relays by email. “Now I hope to play professional soccer in the U.S. Then I hope to play for the U.S. in world soccer.” Could Omar move up in the soccer universe, or at least in Vermont’s orbit? “That is a good possibility,” says Bojan “Bo” Vuckovic, a Vermont Voltage coach. Vuckovic played in Yugoslavia, and then for the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer, among other pro teams, before buying the Voltage in 1999. Since then, he’s added the Lady Voltage to his soccer empire, and helped improve Vermont’s ranking in the 130-team United Soccer League. More than 1300 spectators watch the Voltage. Vuckovic will be among those watching the new league. “If they play in the Heritage Cup tournament and play really well — we’re going to be watching those games — then maybe they can move up to the next level,” he says. The sidelines will be busy. For one thing, there will be lots of extra players from Africa; Siriwayo has nearly four dozen potential players. But because of
field logistics, the tournament can only accommodate four teams of 20: African, USA, European and Latin American. “Next year we’re going to expand it to basically every international group that we can find,” says Blanco. “For this year, the tournament is accepting anybody from any ethnic background on any of the teams.” Festivities are also bound to accompany the tournament. As evidenced by the World Cup, soccer brings out a certain spirit in people. It can take the form of face paint and flag waving, and it spills into the streets when a team has won. When Iran bested Bahrain earlier this month to qualify for the 2006 World Cup finals, millions of Iranians flooded the streets, making the post Red-Sox celebrations look like tea parties by comparison. Although nothing that big is likely to happen in Vermont, Blanco predicts a new fervor will fill the fields. “When you have an international soccer game like this, let’s say, Italia against Brazil,” he says, “people go to the stadium to watch the event and to have fun; they bring music and they eat. It won’t be surprising to see everybody with drums and food on the side, screaming, ‘Yay!’ with flags from each country. That’s the party of it, that’s where people feel fulfilled culturally. They’re cheering for their own identity.” m

Batmen Begin Theater review: Diamonds
C
an a theater reviewer enjoy a musical about a sport she despises? Yes is the resounding answer provided by the Lost Nation Theater’s delight-filled baseball revue, Diamonds. The energetic ensemble STORY cast brought a winsome enthusiasm to ELIZABETH Tim Tavcar’s skillfully re-imagined, famiCREAN ly-friendly show. And the dynamic, gospel-infused singing of baritone Diamonds, directed by Tim Gordon Michaels provided the grand Tavcar, produced slam that elevated the evening into a by Lost Nation major-league success. Theater. City Hall Diamonds is not about baseball’s Auditorium, steroid-addled, dollar-driven present: milMontpelier, June 22 – July 3, lionaire athletes whining about a “12strikes-and-you’re-out” drug policy, and various times. billionaire owners lobbying for taxpayerfunded, corporate-logoed ballparks. Rather, the musical celebrates the sport’s deep roots in America’s history and psyche with a fast-paced mix of songs and sketches. Although Act I focuses on the 19th century and Act II covers events up to the 1970s or so, the show is more a series of vignettes than an actual chronology. The simple ballad “What You’d Call a Dream,” sung by Michaels with supple grace and strength, both opens and closes the show. The desire to play ball represented the urge to dream and the need to belong, and it cut across lines of class, gender and race: immigrants who wanted to assimilate, women who wanted to shatter Victorian stereotypes, blacks who were tired of separate and unequal, kids who just wanted to be picked for a team, any team. Diamonds covers these social issues without ever becoming didactic or boring. The show’s tone is deliciously tongue-incheek, and the ensemble demonstrated great skill in executing the over-the-top comedy. Top laugh-getters were LNT reg-
ulars Mark Roberts and Judy Milstein — both dramatic standouts from this spring’s production of Stone — whose veteran vaudevillian high jinks held the summer company’s greener members to a high humor standard. As an immigrant trying to understand the national pastime, Jon Ginn played the Bugs Bunny cartoon version of Maurice Chevalier — complete with a cardinal-red beret and painted-on twirly mustache — singing “Take Me Out to the Ballpark” in French. As suffragettes, Rachel Black and Rachel Dyer used a playfully militant declamatory style as they marched around the stage with placards and recounted the history of the Bloomer Girls — women’s teams that barnstormed the country in the 1890s and played against men, to the great consternation of “irate ministers” and indignant “local ladies.” Of course, there was no humor in baseball’s most loathsome chapter. Blacks were excluded from Major League play in 1887 after white superstar Cap Anson said he wouldn’t take the field with “pin-striped darkies.” Michaels’ powerful rendition of “Stay in Your Own Back Yard” showed the irony of that bigotry. Between verses of the ballad, Michaels recited the records set by black players such as Satchel Paige, Smoky Joe Williams and Josh Gibson that dwarfed those of Cy Young, Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth. His rich tone drove home the simple tune’s plaintive lyrics. “Don’t mind what them white folks do / What you suppose they’s going to give a black little boy like you / So stay on this side of the high board fence . . . / Stay in your own back yard.” Another somber episode in baseball’s past became the show’s liveliest history lesson.

The show’s tone is deliciously tongue-in-cheek, and the ensemble demonstrated great skill in executing the over-the-top comedy. mous Black Sox scandal was a highlight of hilarity. Jake Ottosen and Nathanael L. Shea joined Ginn, Black and Dyer as waggish caricatures of hardboiled radio-era newsmen, reporting segments of the story from a rotating newsdesk — a wooden table on casters — and spinning it around with a flourish each time the tale passed to the next narrator. Shea’s sweet tenor took the lead on the song that followed, “1919,” a reflection on the scandal’s most memorable casualty, Shoeless Joe Jackson. This number was an example of Diamond’s well-balanced emotional pacing: the general mirth tempered by moments of poignancy. Credit for the effective pacing goes to director Tavcar, who entirely reworked the script of the original 1984 show. He cut many weak scenes, including a pair of baffling racist numbers, and wove in richer source material. With music director Lisa Jablow, he fleshed out the songs from the sketchy score, reshuffled them, and added a few tunes, including “Heart” from Damn Yankees. More amazingly, Tavcar led his ensemble to lively interpretations of familiar comedic warhorses. Who knew anything fresh could be mined from wheezy American relics such as the dusty poem, “Casey at the Bat,” and the antediluvian Abbott and Costello routine, “Who’s on First?” In the Bud Abbott role, Roberts shone with fearless comic confidence. The audience laughed as if hearing these ancient lines for the first time. Blame must be shared, however, for the poor sound balance. Siting the two-person band at the front of the stage may have been part of the problem; vocalists had to sing over the instrument “dugout” to reach the audience. Guitarist Kathleen Keenan adjusted her volume appropriately to support the singers when she accompanied them alone. But the show’s greatest weakness was the volume of Jablow’s electronic key-
board. Whether it was set to organ, piano or banjo mode, the instrument at times overpowered every soloist, except Michaels. Lyrics were intelligible, for the most part, but the keyboard often drowned out vocal expressiveness and subtlety, especially for the singers with lighter voices like Milstein and Ottosen. Kevin M. Kelly’s charming set was simple yet versatile. The floor was sponge-painted green to simulate grass, and the back wall featured a wooden scoreboard and old-fashioned billboards for products such as FireChief Gasoline, 5-cent bottles of Pepsi-Cola, and Cracker Jack — “America’s Famous Food Confection: The More You Eat, the More You Want.” The scoreboard numbers were removable, and in one song cast members sang backup like antic, disembodied Muppets by sticking their faces through the holes. A set of bleachers on wheels rolled in for some scenes. Part of the back wall discreetly unfolded to admit them, and the actors moved most of the scenery themselves. The bleachers were used to great effect in the rousing conclusion of Act I, “He Threw Out the Ball.” Michaels led the ensemble, which wore robes like a church choir, in a raucous revival-meeting number describing how God created baseball. The Boston baritone could have filled Fenway with his mighty sound. As he preached the baseball gospel from atop the spinning bleachers, even the most skeptical soul was converted. With Diamonds, Tavcar and his hardworking team have achieved a wonderful blend of zest, camp and sincerity. What could have been corny was touching; what could have been cheesy was just good, clean fun. For the audience, it was a toetapping, knee-slapping, handclapping slice of summertime entertainment. As for rumors that the baseball-hating critic walked out humming “Take Me Out to the Ball Game?” No comment. 쩾

A BAND BY ANY OTHER NAME? Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival has come and gone. While this year’s event was a smashing success, one local band seems to have had a particularly rough time of it. Scruffy pop-pranksters The Jazz Guys reportedly got off on the wrong foot with a Church Street Marketplace representative during the Saturday, June 11, Block Party. I don’t understand why they were booked in the first place; were organizers fooled by their name? Anyway, for those who haven’t heard them, the band has a reputation for playing at pretty loud volumes. That probably didn’t sit well with folks who were expecting to hear some Chet Baker. To be honest, The Jazz Guys’ particular brand of humor isn’t for everyone. Good-natured crowd-baiting is a staple of their concerts, and everything — heckling included — becomes part of the show. I personally find their shtick amusing, but others think it’s obnoxious. According to my sources, the band was asked to turn down by an irate Marketplace employee, who was drawn into an argument with the band. My calls to the Church Street Marketplace offices have gone unanswered. While I don’t know the organizer’s side of the story, I can confirm that The Jazz Guys have been banned from ever playing the Marketplace again. You can catch them at Red Square on Friday, June 24, though. Maybe next year, those responsible for booking the Block Party bands will do a little more research — who knows what wily rockers are waiting for their chance to rain terror upon the unsuspecting masses?

CUTTING THE ’GRASS
YOU CAN’T JUDGE A JOKE BY ITS COVER
Danny Coane — frontman for honky-tonk heroes Starline Rhythm Boys and longtime bluegrass nut — recently told me that Henry’s Pub in South Burlington’s Holiday Inn is pulling the plug on their Wednesday bluegrass nights. The recurring event was the brainchild of former bar manager and guitarist/vocalist Bob Degree, who recently moved to the Big Apple. Degree, who played in Lost Posse and Bluegrass Storm, helped turn Wednesdays at Henry’s into a popular attraction, inviting The Cleary Brothers, Big Spike and Stone, Coane & Sacher to entertain. After he left town, Big Spike’s banjo man Bill Gaston took over. By this time, word was really getting out, and the event became a big hit with local college students. The talent felt right at home, too. “It was a great opportunity for some of the better local bluegrass bands to play in a pretty decent-sounding lounge with a good atmosphere,” says Coane. So what went wrong? Nobody knows for sure. “The audience dropped some after the colleges let out, but it still wasn’t a bad crowd,” he says. “The current manager told Bill last week that the event had been cancelled. As I understand it, it wasn’t the general manager of the South Burlington hotel, but some bigwig above.” Maybe the “suits” don’t like ’grass? I caught the final set last Wednesday and had a blast. Henry’s Pub is definitely an unpretentious little watering hole, plastered with mirrors and wood paneling. While draft beer and people-watching always make for a good time, the music was the main attraction. Coane, banjo whiz Gordon Stone and mandolin maestro Andy Sacher tore through classics by The Stanley Brothers, Vassar Clements and Bill Monroe like blue-blooded barnstormers. Sacher was positively on fire, shredding like a hillbilly Paganini, while Stone played it cool, plucking his banjo with nimble authority. Coane strummed away on his acoustic guitar, providing lonesome vocals and humorous asides. And the audience loved every minute of it, calling out requests and bantering with the band. When Coane and I spoke during a break, he still seemed a little miffed. “I don’t know what else they’re gonna put in here on a Wednesday night that’ll bring people in,” he said. “Corporate America strikes again!” The PO’d pickers are looking for a new venue, so, with any luck, fans will soon be able to get their fix. Keep your eyes on this space for more developments.
I personally can’t stand politically correct comedy. Neither can New York City-based funnyman Tom Cotter, who performs two sets at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Saturday, June 25. Cotter might look like a Young Republican, but his rapid-fire jokes are irreverent and biting, full of off-the-cuff remarks about whatever enters his twisted mind. There are plenty of dick jokes and boozy recollections in his bits, but they’re delivered with a wit and intelligence often lacking on the ha-ha circuit. Well, maybe not intelligence, per se. “I drink evil stuff — I drink Jägermeister,” Cotter says in one routine. “Now look around. Everybody clapping has vomited. This stuff is Satan’s piss. It should have a Mister Yuck sticker on the bottle, and a warning: Pour directly in the toilet and eliminate the middleman.” I have to admit; I was pretty skeptical at first. The cover of Cotter’s CD Wise Ass features his geeky mug flanked by a cartoon angel and devil, both of which are poorly rendered and set against a baby-blue background. His website also leaves a lot to be desired — perhaps a relative was out of work? Nevertheless, he won me over with his George Carlin-esque wordplay and confident delivery, which runs counter to his investment-banker aesthetic. “We don’t even know what we’re saying with our language,” Cotter quips during one high-speed rant. “‘There’s more than one way to skin a cat.’ How many ways do you need, you Nazi?” Apparently, Cotter is on the way up, having performed on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Late Show with Craig Kilborn.” He’s also taped his own half-hour special for Comedy Central, and recently won the Seattle International Stand-Up Comedy Competition by the highest margin in the contest’s history. So go see his show, and help make him famous. Maybe then he can hire a better designer.

MARY MCGINNIS, PLACES IN BETWEEN
LAURA CANTRELL, HUMMING BY THE FLOWERED VINE (Matador Records, CD)
(Self-released, CD)
Burlington singer-songwriter Mary McGinniss has been performing since the 1970s, but she’s hardly a household name. For one thing, her appearances have been rare, and for another, she’s generally shied away from the limelight, content to provide harmonies for other groups. But those who’ve been lucky enough to hear her have recognized McGinniss as one of the Green Mountains’ musical treasures. Now she’s finally come out with her first solo album; the carefully crafted Places in Between will expose her lovely voice and brilliant songwriting to the larger audience she deserves. The nine McGinniss originals on Places depict the lives and struggles of heroic women — some modern and some who lived hundreds of years ago. She’s as much a poet as a musician, and her lyrics are a pleasure to read and hear. Like great storytelling songwriters John Prine and Tom Waits, McGinniss paints indelible pictures with her words. Standout track “Cedar Tree” is the story of a 17th-century Haudenosaunee Indian woman. You can practically smell the camp smoke and whiskey between each catchy refrain. McGinniss is an accomplished guitarist, bassist and mandolin player, but she’s also invited several well-known local musicians to lend a hand. Peter Engisch — who also engineered the recording — Mark Ransom, Neil Cleary, Juliet McVicker, Bruce McKenzie and Gordon Stone all provide worthy accompaniment. Stone deserves special mention; his transcendently beautiful pedal steel playing adds an understated charm to four tracks. Places in Between is terrific, especially for a first effort. The CD release party takes place at Parima in Burlington next month — but I couldn’t wait that long to tell you about it.
ROBERT RESNIK
Big Apple-based country chanteuse Laura Cantrell has led an interesting life. A popular free-form radio DJ, Columbia University grad and former vice president of Equity Research for Bank of America, she’s more than just a pretty face with a honeyed voice. But, she’s that, too. Cantrell’s girlish charm and adult sophistication have won big-name fans such as Elvis Costello, who asked her to open for him on a recent tour. The late, legendary British DJ John Peel called her debut album “The best record I’ve heard in the last 10 years, and possibly my life.” Her latest release, Humming By the Flowered Vine, is chock-full of ’40s- and ’50s-style country that plays like Lucinda Williams at the Grand Ole Opry. Even cooler is that the disc boasts guitar work from Mark Spencer, former axeman for Burlington ’80s legends Pinhead. Opener “14th Street” is a paean to an ex-lover spotted on a busy byway. The protagonist follows him, careful to avoid actual contact. Some people would call this stalking, but such behavior sounds perfectly reasonable when delivered with Cantrell’s unassuming sweet voice. The swinging lilt of “What You Said” draws you in as it breaks your heart. Cantrell weaves another tale of romantic woe, as spry fiddle and vibrant guitar vamps nudge the tune along. “And Still” swells and recedes with assuredness, while “Khaki & Corduroy” waltzes gently, accented by delicate drum work. “One night spent on the cold tough floor and you creep home guilty like before/Learning how to break or bend, broken now but sure to mend,” Cantrell sings in a tremulous hush. This track can join the ranks of the great country weepers, right alongside the work of Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline. There are occasional rock flourishes, such as the heavy backbeat and surging guitars on “Letters.” For the most part, however, Humming is old-fashioned country, with “Western” still invited to the party. “Wishful Thinking” has all the hallmarks of honky-tonk, namely a blues-based progression, pedal-steel turnarounds and enough bleary-eyed sentiment to satisfy any last-call barroom boozer. Cantrell recently quit her banking gig to concentrate on music full-time. Wall Street’s loss is music’s gain, as Humming By the Flowered Vine exquisitely proves. Authentic voices like hers don’t appear very often; be sure to catch her performance with opener Paul Burch at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Thursday, June 23.

CALL TO ARTISTS
Ladies’ Rooms
T EXHIBIT “Women’s Work: No Boundaries,” a group exhibit in multiple media, Main and West galleries, through August 28; and box constructions by Jennifer Koch and pastel paintings by Marilyn Ruseckas, East Gallery, through July 10. Helen Day Art Center, Stowe. Additional works by the five finalists for the National Museum of Women in the Arts, McCarthy Arts Center Gallery, St. Michael’s College, Colchester, through August 28.
ARTWORK “Inside Out” by Kathleen Schneider
PHOTO Marc Awodey
he current group of exhibitions at Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center is highly diverse, except in one respect: All the art is by women. The aptly titled “Women’s Work: No Boundaries” features eight females who create in a variety of media. Five of them are “finalists” designated by the Vermont Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. The museum proactively seeks out artists on a state-bystate basis in a brilliant, refreshing approach to presenting contemporary art. Even if none of the Vermonters ends up in NMWA’s permanent collection, the vetting process demonstrates a respect for regionalism as well as “women’s art.” Vermont’s fab five finalists are, not surprisingly, among the Green Mountain State’s most established and frequently exhibited artists: painter Gail Salzman, printmaker Claire Van Vliet, textile artist Deidre Scherer and sculptors Patricia Burleson and Kathleen Schneider. At the Helen Day, their works are grouped in the West Gallery. The other three, lessknown artists in “Women’s Work” are Arista Alanis, Rachel Moore and Ashley James; the trio is presented in the Main Gallery. A Seattle artist, Moore has contributed three glass sculptures that seem to drip off the walls. “Surrender” — the largest, at 7 feet long — is a mixed-media piece in which six gobs of green glass are strung horizontally and connected by thin strings of glass, looped together like pieces of stretched chewing gum. Johnson-based Alanis is represented by several monoprints and six impressive, large-scale oils on canvas. She has a distinctly Abstract Expressionist aesthetic yet pushes paint in a highly personal way. Large swaths of color arc over portions of each picture plane, while confetti-like scumbles and dabs of paint drift down other sections like sparkler trails. Alanis generally works with warm and well-tempered hues. Future NMWA panels ought to pick her up on the radar. James’ untitled ceramic sculptures seem like anthropomorphic abstractions focused on the curves of female torsos. Their vertical compositions on pedestals are large, upwards of 6 feet high. The works by this Brooklyn artist are exceedingly well crafted and the materials serve the forms. The three nationally “emerging” artists make the NMWA finalists seem a little restrained by comparison. The two sculptors, for example, use materials that are easy to work with, and their pieces could easily sit on a coffee table. In Burleson’s “Spring Melt” series, each sculpture is a nest of sticks and
twigs interwoven with an array of found materials. The largest is about 20 inches in diameter. Kathleen Schneider’s curatorial statement indicates that her works “reference the Hellenistic sculpture ‘Nike of Samothrace’ but are nonobjective and intimate in scale.” Less than 2 feet tall, the plaster-and-wood “Inside Out” has a profile akin to the 8-foot-tall original “Nike.” Schneider does find engaging geometric details within her restatements of classical form. Concurrent with these works, the Helen Day’s East Gallery is hosting a separate — but equal in quality — exhibition of constructions by Jennifer Koch and pastels by Marilyn Ruseckas, both Vermonters.
Vermont’s fab five finalists are, not surprisingly, among the Green Mountain State’s most established and frequently exhibited artists. Ruseckas has long held a justified reputation for mastery of her chosen medium, particularly her use of color. “Red Sky Reflections” is an expressive, rolling landscape with a bright crimson sky and translucent clusters of trees. “Warm Exposure” is more abstract, though still a landscape. Its river is bounded by wetlands, and the artist has adeptly added rich reflections to the smooth stream. Koch’s mixed-media constructions include colorful beetles and butterflies affixed to images from art history. In “Specimen #37 Stitched After Giorgione,” a big bug is attached to a tapestry of that Venetian Renaissance painter’s “Sleeping Venus,” and spools of thread are lined up in the box that houses the piece. All of Koch’s works are actually in boxes, but they are not simply imitations of the pioneering constructions by 20th-century American artist Joseph Cornell. For one thing, her boxes are less frontally oriented than are most of his. An example: “Specimen #48” is an elegant, bugfilled teacup inside a cube. The Helen Day’s summer show proves that “women’s work” can be playful, too. m

Firehouse Gallery exhibition featuring two large-scale installations.
:: burlington area
A pair of Burlington architects calling themselves Locus — actual names Robert Mantho and Michael Wenrich — have created an intriguing environment of light, color and geometric forms. Their installation in the gallery’s back room gives new meaning to “hanging by a thread.â€? Sharon Engelstein, born in MontrĂŠal and now living in Houston, has installed a massive inflatable sculpture dubbed “Siblit Tatuâ€? (pictured). Its meaning, verbally and visually, isn’t immediately apparent, but the work nearly fills the entire front gallery, leaving little “spaceâ€? for viewers.

PREVIEWS
Batman Begins HHH
H CAVE MAN Bale gets to the bottom of the dark knight’s searching, suffering mindset.
ere we go again. Following on the heels of the phenomenally successful Spider-Man films, the new Batman picture elicits a sort of double déjà vu. Watching Bruce Wayne take those first steps in the direction of his superhero destiny certainly has a familiar feel to it. It seems as though we just finished watching Peter Parker work through many of the very same issues. And then there are the ghosts of Batmans past. With Christian Bale now taking on the role of dark knight, it’s impossible not to think back to all the other gents who have so recently donned that mask. They’ve enjoyed astonishingly disparate trajectories, given the lucrative history of the franchise. George Clooney has gone on to suave superstardom. Val Kilmer can more often be found playing quirky supporting parts, when he can be found at all. And then there’s the tragic case of the recent series’ original big-screen Batman, Michael Keaton, who currently can be found in Herbie: Fully Loaded. Which brings us to the question: What is it about this comicbook crusader that commands so much movie attention? Who would have suspected the public would have such bottomless fascination with the character? With his prime crime-fighting period sufficiently documented in the previous seven films, our attention is now turned toward Batman’s formative years. Does this mean it’s just a matter of time until Wilford Brimley turns up in Batman Retires: Adventures in Depends? As directed and cowritten by Christopher (Memento) Nolan, the movie revisits certain defining events already depicted and explored by Tim Burton. We once again see, for example, the young Bruce Wayne witnessing the murder of his parents in a dark alley. As reinterpreted by Nolan and fellow writers Bob Kane and David Goyer, the childhood trauma leads the young man to a prolonged obsession with the nature of evil. As the movie opens, Wayne has grown to adulthood and managed to get himself locked up in a prison camp somewhere in Asia, where he is conducting research by mingling with lowlifes and being treated brutally by guards. A mysterious figure who calls himself Henri Ducard, played by Liam Neeson, recognizes Wayne’s physical gifts, rescues him and recruits him into an outfit named The League of Shadows. Ducard mentors Wayne in martial arts, sword-fighting and the sort of secret warrior stuff that Uma Thurman was taught in Kill Bill Vol.2 — you know, your traditional, Asian mountaintop ninja curriculum. When Wayne is ordered to murder a criminal as part of his initiation rite, he refuses, burns the place to the ground, and
returns to Gotham — the very city Ducard has just told him the League has targeted for destruction due to its high level of decadence, corruption and crime. Something tells us Bale and Neeson will meet again in act three. Meanwhile, the young man returns to the scene of his youth and reconnects with several key people in his life: Rutger Hauer, playing the clearly duplicitous head of Wayne Enterprises; Katie Holmes as a childhood friend who’s grown up to become a fearless assistant DA; and Michael Caine, playing the loyal family servant, Alfred. The person who has the most significant impact on Wayne, however, is played by Morgan Freeman. He’s a scientist whom Hauer has relegated to the bowels of the company’s headquarters. The two meet by chance and, wouldn’t you know it, Freeman just happens to have prototypes of a bullet-deflecting bat suit, a heavily armored batmobile and a lot of other handy bat paraphernalia in storage down there. Before long, Bale is swooping in Spidey fashion from skyscraper to skyscraper and beginning the long business of cleaning up the city’s act. I’ve always considered Bale among the most underrated performers of his generation, and here he brings just the right touch to his portrait of the searching, suffering hero. Nolan and company have given Gotham a fittingly gritty, shadow-drenched look, and also made some inspired casting. Tom Wilkinson is deliciously malicious as crime boss Carmine Falcone. It was great to see Hauer taken out of mothballs for a couple of hours. And Cillian Murphy creates the most menacing movie psychiatrist since Hannibal Lecter. Though I do have a question concerning his evil plan: His character has an elaborate scheme to turn everyone in the city stark, raving mad through exposure to a toxic powder. The plan’s first step calls for dumping tons of the stuff into the water supply. Step two requires the use of a special ray gun to evaporate all the water and free the powder, so that it becomes airborne and contaminates the town. Wouldn’t it have been simpler to skip the business with the water supply and just dump clouds of the stuff on the population in the first place? But who am I to question grand schemes — either the mad doctor’s or that of Warner Brothers to breathe new life into the Batman franchise? Personally, I could probably struggle through my time on this planet without learning every little detail of Bruce Wayne’s personal journey. Millions of moviegoers feel differently, though, and the good news for them is that the bat torch has been passed into capable hands. m

SEVEN DAYS WERNER HERZOG DIRECTING FITZCARRALDO

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Facts on Film
Angelina Jolie may play a guntoting CIA operative in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but the blockbuster opened too late to be included in The Violent
Woman: Femininity, Narrative and Violence in Contemporary American Cinema. The new paperback by University of Vermont Assistant Professor Hilary Neroni explores relevant gender issues in several popular motion pictures. “The book ends and the movies keep coming,” acknowledges Neroni, 35. The 203-page publication, released by State University of New York Press, is rooted in her decade-old doctoral dissertation. “The original idea started in grad school,” she explains. “Thelma and Louise had come out while I was in college. The trend took hold. I couldn’t help noticing all these films with women who commit violence. I’m interested in how that resonates in the culture.” She observed that many of these cinematic female characters are not paired with romantic partners. “That set me off to investigate why,” Neroni says. “A strong, violent woman often has no male counterpart. Hollywood is too nervous about the destabilization of how we perceive masculinity and femininity.” The book examines mostly mainstream fare, ranging from Terminator 2: Judgment Day to Courage Under Fire. Neroni rejects the suggestion from some quarters that they’re not important films. “I think this is an essential topic to address,” she notes, adding that roles depicting violent women “have exploded across mediums and across dramas. Now it’s kind
of ubiquitous.” Neroni, who hails from Rhode Island, spent several years in Los Angeles during the 1990s earning her Master’s degree and Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. “Film studies brought together fine arts, aesthetics, psychology, sociology, history — all those things that fascinated me,” she says. Neroni’s been teaching film at UVM for five years; her husband Todd McGowan is in the same department. She has already begun work on a second book, which will focus on New Zealand director Jane Campion of The Piano fame. “I want to do a theoretical investigation of her work,” Neroni says. “The style she’s developed presents complex female main characters.” The 16th annual Vermont International Film Festival in Burlington doesn’t take place until October 1316. But the submission deadlines are coming right up: July 1 for the com-
petition’s three categories (war and peace, justice and human rights, the environment), and July 15 for the Vermont Filmmakers Showcase. Call 660-2600 or visit http://www. vtiff.org/05festival.html to request entry forms. The fest also needs volunteers. Executive Director Mira Niagalova hopes to organize an homage to Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Aguirre: The Wrath of God) if the German auteur can attend. Apparently, he’s saying maybe. She also anticipates a Green Mountain State premiere of Why We Fight by Waitsfield resident Eugene Jarecki, whose documentary won the top prize at Sundance in January. The local film fest will be one day shorter than it was last year, due to the Yom Kippur holiday as well as financial considerations. And there’s a new award in the environment category from Ben & Jerry’s. Some lucky artist will get $500. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
Leo’s party celebrated his HARD-WON battle against priapism. Only the most curious travelers venture to TIMBUKTU. Woody GUTHRIE was one of Bob Dylan’s early idols. These days the HMS PINAFORE seems clever but corny. I’ll sky-dive ONLY IF I’VE had a chance to practice on the ground. Where ESSEX ends and Essex Junction begins, no one knows. “I keep telling you,” he said, “my name’s not Ethan, IT’S EVAN.” Eating has been shown to OBVIATE hunger. In GULDENEIN, Germany, Oktoberfest takes place in September. Dessert tip: Cherry jello is better than raw, unflavored GELATIN. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS 1-2-3. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Sometimes you hear what you can’t see.

ilmmaking offers an alternative means of communication for Rebecca Heller, a 2005 Burlington College graduate. The 23-year-old’s final degree project, “Sushi,” concerns a young woman who finally “comes out” to her carnivore parents by revealing she’s a fan of raw fish. The 9-minute short, which tackles the search for sexual identity with a metaphoric twist, has virtually no dialogue. “I can’t really express myself in words,” Heller acknowledges. “So I figured I might as well make it visual.” That approach seems to have impressed the San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, which will screen “Sushi” on June 26. This California premiere is quite a coup, but Heller can’t be there in person. Her gig in Connecticut as a camera intern on an indie feature, Big Bad Swim, doesn’t end until June 28. “It’s bittersweet,” she says with a sigh. The Long Island native worked part-time jobs to raise the $3000 “Sushi” budget. Her film, which stars Cristin Tanner as the unnamed girl with a secret yen for Japanese cuisine, was shot in one week at Queen City locations such as 135 Pearl. There, the protagonist and a new friend cast shy glances at each other while sipping miso soup.

MUSSELING IN
If Lake Champlain’s pseudo-mythical mascot were any bigger or more real, the sea monster might soon be feeling pinched for space. Zebra mussels can cover underwater surfaces within a matter of months, and they’re difficult to eliminate and control. Invasive species are just one of the topics up for discussion at the “Voices for the Lake” conference. The event invites citizens to sound out scientists about how best to address the mess. The event coincides with the Lake Champlain Basin Program’s justreleased State of the Lake Report, a snapshot of what’s paining Champlain in 2005. Info-hungry types can also peruse 25 ecobooths created by organizations in Vermont, New York and Québec. Proof of residence in any of those watershed locales cuts the admission cost in half.
‘VOICES FOR THE LAKE’ Saturday & Sunday, June 25 & 26, ECHO Center, Burlington, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. $4.50-9. Info, 864-1848. http://www.echovermont.org

<calendar > scene@BONSAI SHOW MILL BROOK BONSAI, JERICHO, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 10 A.M. The journey is the essence of the Asian arboreal art of bonsai — the hours spent wiring, pruning and shaping a small tree are as much the point as the plant, itself. So it’s fitting that visitors to Mill Brook Bonsai, Vermont’s only bonsai shop, have to travel off the Interstate and down a lonely logging road to get there. Owner Sandy Anderson has been sculpting the tiny trees ever since he was “blown away” by them on a visit to the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., in 1971. Today, the retired IBM manager is an international business consultant and co-proprietor of the 9-year-old store he owns with his wife. A self-described “anal-retentive manager,” Anderson says bonsai relaxes him. “Doing this,” he offers, “you learn to think in terms of seasons and years.” Mill Brook is also the hub of the 65-member Green Mountain Bonsai Society. On Saturday, a dozen hard-core hobbyists gathered in a light drizzle to hear Michael Sullivan, president of Florida’s Gold Coast Bonsai Society, critique their trees and demonstrate his trimming techniques. Anderson placed one specimen after another on a cinder-block podium, while Sullivan stood back and dispassionately surveyed them. With his tinted oval specs, he could have been mistaken for an art critic. Or a dog-show judge. “Wire the tip,” he said of a white cedar, one of the few native trees on display. “Bring it forward a little, to make it bow.” Sullivan also prescribed a trim for the bushy but battered specimen. “It’s a tree that’s been through a hell of a lot,” he said. “It’s got a lot of history, so you don’t want it to be too lush.” Rod Larrow’s larch was next. He joked that he needed therapy after Sullivan’s critique — the expert disagreed with him on several stylistic counts. Larrow collects many of his trees himself. He walks through the woods, looking for interesting trunk structures or root formations. He was half joking, when explaining his selection process: “You hear a little voice crying out.” CATHY RESMER

Hip-hop and rap might have started in the South Bronx, but they’ve since conquered mainstream music. This week, Dartmouth’s Hopkins Center hosts hip-hop that takes cross-cultural sampling to a new level. With Flow, award-winning stage performer Will Power fuses syncopated rhymes with movement and a live-DJ soundtrack to tell a vivid inner-city story, with overtones of Homer’s epic poetry. DJ Rekha, a second-generation Indian-American now known as one of New York City’s hottest turntablists, brings her Punjabi-beat “Basement Bhangra� livedance party to town. A breakdown talk explains the music’s evolution to express complex, multi-ethnic identities. Nervous about getting your bhangra on? Not to worry — a ticket accesses a free pre-show dance lesson.

BULL SESSION
The lead character in Patient Minotaur has serious worries. The two-act play applies modern psychology to the ancient Greek myth of a labyrinth-locked, bullheaded being. In it, a man named Henry humorously relives past mistakes and wrestles with an on-stage personification of his wasted youth before finally grabbing the bull by the horns. Montpelier playwright Peter Lind posits, “The Minotaur is that part of yourself which can be protective when you’re young, but can become neurosis or psychosis when you’re older. It’s dangerous to give it too much power.” The boundary-blurring work, which incorporates video, still images and dance, won the 2004 Vermont Contemporary Playwrights Forum Award. This year’s winner will be announced on Sunday.
‘PATIENT MINOTAUR’ Thursday through Saturday, June 23-25, and Thursday through Sunday, June 30 - July 3, Harwood Union High School, South Duxbury, 7:30 p.m. $12.

There are places where time is concentrated, such as the waist of an hourglass. The Vermont History Expo is also such a spot. More than 150 local historical societies from around the state mount displays unique to their towns, involving amateur historians whose passions drive the subject matter. Did you know St. Albans had streetcars? Ever peeked inside a 19th-century doctor’s bag, pickled a cucumber, or tried a corset on for size? On Saturday, attendees in historic costume pay half-price to catch History-on-Parade, a festive array of Victorian bicyclists, bagpipers, stiltwalkers and notable figures from past to present, complete with fife-and-drum corps. Genealogists gather in corners to talk — it’s only fitting, since the whole show feels like a statewide family reunion.

BERRIED TREASURE If preserving summer in jams and jellies proves too frustrating, there’s always the here and now. Three different strawberry fests on the same day emphasize the season’s abundance, shortcake-style. In Monkton, singer-songwriter Jon Gailmor strums through an all-ages show while people pick over a silent auction and book sale, with the option of eating hot dogs and lemonade before dessert. In Cornwall, fiddlers entertain while local artists sell their wares, and Northfield’s United Church is all about the sundaes. But no matter what else is going on, the fruit takes center stage: Each venue tops off the day with fresh berries, just right for June.
STRAWBERRY FESTIVALS Sunday, June 26, Russell Memorial Library, Monkton, noon - 3 p.m. Free. Info, 453-2558. First Congregational Church, Cornwall, noon - 4 p.m. Free. Info, 462-3111. United Church of Northfield, 1-4 p.m. $4. Info, 485-4431.

JUNE 23 - 29
ARIES
(March 21-April 19): There are several ways to break an egg. You can knock it against the edge of a pan or strike it with a knife. You can squeeze it hard enough to crack it or hurl it at a disgusting politician. Professional Easter-egg painters pierce both ends of it with a needle in order to drain the stuff inside. Is one method better than the others? Not in general, of course, though if you’re planning to cook the egg, you shouldn’t open it via a high-velocity encounter with the kitchen wall. Your assignment in the coming week, Aries, is to do the metaphorical equivalent of breaking open an egg in a way that’s exactly appropriate for how you’ll use it.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): “In my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda.” President George W. Bush spoke those words to the press during his meditations on overhauling Social Security, but I could have easily said the same thing about my job. This week, for instance, I’m going to catapult my benevolent propaganda in three different ways. Ready for the onslaught? (1) “The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken,” said Samuel Johnson (which is why you should break a budding bad habit now, even though you can barely feel it). (2) To wake yourself up from the trance you’ve been in, pinch yourself with both hands as you simultaneously kick yourself in the butt. (3) “Every act of becoming conscious is an unnatural act.” — Adrienne Rich.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two storks have built nests on a golf course in Krogaspe, Germany. That in itself is odd, since storks usually construct their brooding areas up high, in trees or buildings. But what’s even more unusual is that the birds are attempting to hatch golf balls they’ve stockpiled in the nests. I present this vignette as a cautionary tale for you, Gemini. In the coming weeks, you’ll have to be in very close touch with your intuition so that you don’t end up in a similar position: trying to nurture and grow something that will never be able to
• Counseling • •Spiritual• Facilitator
Transforming from adversity.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): You need a new launching pad. Not rocket fuel — you’ve got plenty of that. Not a reliable internal guidance system or a strong hull or redundant safety features. You’ve got all those things. The only essential that’s lacking is the right place for you to blast off. So shop around in the coming days, Cancerian. Except for that key factor, you’re more than ready to get your project off the ground with a bang. Ideally, ignition and lift-off will happen no later than July 14.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hardly anyone takes photos with film anymore. Digital cameras have become the instrument of choice for both pros and amateurs. As a result, businesses that sell film are becoming obsolete. “I refer to myself as a buggy-whip salesman or a blacksmith,” said the owner of one such shop, quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle. During the next 10 years, I predict that just about every one of us will face a similar prospect: Something we sell or a task that we do well will become irrelevant. This week is a perfect astrological time for you to muse about what that is likely to be for you, and then start making plans about how you’ll adjust when your skill or product is no longer needed.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sharks have a bad reputation among many people, but to the native people of the Hawaiian island of Niihau they are na’aumakua, guardian spirits. I propose that they serve as your tutelary animal in the coming week, Virgo — protectors and guides that will inspire you to be tough-minded and fully at home as you hang out higher in the food chain than you ever have before.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Dave Chappelle’s show on TV’s Comedy Central has been enormously popular. The DVDs of both his first and second seasons have been best-sellers. And yet on the eve of season three’s debut,

SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In my astrological opinion, you need to take a long, relaxing excursion down a sun-drenched stream of consciousness. So please consider interrupting your slog through the shady swamps. Stop poking around in the mud and slime for the treasure you imagine is there. Leave your props and accessories behind, head out into the open, and scout around for the best natural flow you can find. It’s high time for you to float and muse as you gaze into the vault of the great unknown.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Russian Orthodox Christians believe it’s sacrilegious to depict saints dancing, which is why they protested a recent ballet show that portrayed some of their holiest icons. Meanwhile, white Southern Baptists in the U.S. have traditionally discouraged dancing with such ferocity that they spawned the famous joke: “Why can’t Baptists have sex standing up? Because God will think they’re dancing.” These two religious groups are the embodiment of what you should not do in the coming week, Sagittarius. It’s a perfect moment for you to express your spiritual impulses through all manner of bodily movement: leaping, shaking, skipping, dancing and boinking.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
PSYCHIC MEDIUM
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve known more than a few people who have slept with things they consider power objects: a teenager who liked to cuddle with the trophy he won for bowling a perfect game, for example, and a macho dude who was never without his stuffed turtle from childhood, and a woman who worshiped a special rock she had been sitting next to when she had the revelation that changed her life. I mention these precedents, Pisces, in the hope that it will help you feel utterly uninhibited about going to bed with a certain good luck charm or mojo-drenched fetish. I assure you there will be some magic in doing so.

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When America invaded Iraq in 2003, the leaders of France objected. Conservative U.S. Congressman Walter Jones got so enraged by their resistance that he led a campaign to purge the word “French” from common usage. French fries would become “freedom fries,” he proposed; French toast would be “freedom toast.” Two years later, though, Jones has become an opponent of the Iraq attack. America initiated hostilities “with no justification,” he told a North Carolina newspaper; he regrets having launched the name-change crusade. I nominate Walter Jones to be your role model in the coming week, Aquarius. It’s high time to disavow one of your old positions, reverse a discredited opinion, or officially change your mind about an issue you got wrong.

energize you. By week’s end, you’ll have every reason to celebrate because of their lessons. Keep in mind that the mirror of the moment won’t always be a shiny glass surface that reflects images. It may be a person giving you feedback, an unfamiliar situation that shows you surprising secrets about yourself, the way an animal behaves around you and other things that neither you nor I could predict.
Mirrors will be your best teachers this week. The revelations they bring may sometimes make you uncomfortable, but for the most part they will

Chappelle mysteriously absconded, temporarily leaving the future of his gig in doubt. A reporter from Time magazine hunted him down in South Africa, where he confessed he’d fled for a spiritual retreat. He said he needed to get away from the complications of his success so he could take a personal inventory and make sure his intentions were still pure. I bring this up, Libra, because I expect that you, too, will be moving up in the world. Are you ready to deal with the complications of your success? Prepare yourself. Reflect on what your motivations really are and how well your integrity is holding up.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been generously proportioned — what my father kindly described as “Rubenesque.” I have always accepted this fact about myself, and so did my husband, “Karl.” “More to love,” he would say. Then, on doctor’s orders I lost 30 pounds, and for the first time in my life I see men turning to look when I walk down the street. Even Karl can’t keep his hands off me. I should be thrilled, but when Karl compliments my new, svelte bod, I feel insulted on behalf of my former self. Why can’t I just enjoy the admiration? Skinny in Swanton Dear Skinny, Congratulations! Losing 30 pounds is a big deal. But it’s going to take a little while for your inner sense of self to catch up with the external physical reality. After years of being “invisible” in public, it’s not surprising that stares make you self-conscious. And having been accustomed to Karl’s previous level of sexual interest, his ramped-up enthusiasm requires some getting used to. Give yourself time, and if your libido’s not keeping pace with Karl’s, don’t be afraid to tell him thanks but no thanks. Love, Lola

I am a cute girl who is playful, affectionate, energetic, confident and attentive. Oh, and I like to speak my mind at times. I am a "Diamond in the Ruff" because while I'm cute and have a lot of great qualities, I do have some special issues. I am looking for an adult-only home as I am possessive of my bones and food bowl and have bitten while I was guarding them. I am highly treat-motivated and that's a good thing! I will sit for them and I also know 'lie down.’ I would like to spend more time on reward-based training. It will be a great way for me and my new human friend to bond. I will be a great dog for someone who is willing to accept me the way I am and be committed to keeping me safe!
