SEVEN DAYS

EVERY WEEK, SEVEN DAYS TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO...

Now it’s your chance to be the critic! Our fourth annual best-of contest invites you to pick the “Daysies.” We’d like you to weigh in on your favorites, from restaurants to bands to clothing stores to snow slopes. Remember, this is a Vermont contest, so keep it local! Please write legibly and be specific — we may not know what you mean by “that store on Church Street that sells widgets.”

RULES: • Voters should fill out ONLY ONE ballot. Evidence of ballot duplication will result in all those ballots being disqualified.

• Voters must fill out a minimum of 25 percent of the ballot (23 votes) for it to be counted.

• Play fair, Daysie candidates! Campaigning to win is OK, but bribes, payment or other incentives should not be employed to get votes. Evidence of this will result in disqualification of candidate.

ALL BALLOTS MUST BE RECEIVED

BY MONDAY, JULY 3, 2006 at 5 PM Thanks for picking your Daysies!

COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

From Norsehorse’s Home Turf

BIRD LAND I read with delight Ken Picard’s “Beyond the Fowl Line” [June 21].

I thank Mr. Picard for using wit and humor to outline a bleak predicament that affects all Vermonters. From artists to teachers, from attorneys to executives, our way of life is kept whole by Vermont’s farms and by those who support them by buying their products. Farms provide nourishment to our bodies as well as our souls by sustaining the Vermont that I have grown up in and love.

George Schenk of American Flatbread should be applauded for asking, “Why didn’t the chicken cross the road?” and I commend David Lane for offering a solution by way of a mobile facility. I hope that the governor and the legislature can work together next session to make that solution a reality.

IN TRANSIT: MOVING, DAY 2 (edited for length) Have finished moving out of the room and all my stuff is stored away, save the one day/evening backpack I have with me that includes most everything I need, including two days change of clothes (except for pants) and a rain coat. ...My legs, ankles and feet are aching really bad right now and it is hurting me to walk. In addition to that, I am now *completely* exhausted, yet it is too early in the day to do anything much about it, especially as there is nowhere for me to steal a nap. Am happy I made sure to eat a hearty meal last night.

It appears I will be able to sleep on a couch on an outside porch of a place in town. I have permission to do so, at least if the couches are not already filled up with others by the time I make it over there. Late last Summer and much of the Autumn I slept on the same porch, until I moved indoors on October 22nd (2005).

If it comes down to it, my tent and camping gear is always at the ready, stored with the rest of my stuff, just in case it is ever needed; although having to resort to camping out typically requires a lot of energy and takes its toll on me.

HIGH NOTES Emily Lanxner seems impatient for a response to her letter lambasting the Jazz Festival for not booking female bandleaders and instrumentalists. I am sorry not to have responded sooner. The festival and the rain did keep us pretty busy.

Although I think Emily has an important point to make, and her observation is true that there are few women jazz bandleaders and instrumentalists, I think her anger at the Jazz Festival is a bit misplaced. First, she dismissed vocal-

It is a good thing I have a positive attitude about all this, because I would hate to envision what my perspective would be like if I did not.

ists Dianne Reeves and Irma Thomas for being vocalists, not instrumentalists. The voice is an instrument. And both these women front bands and have superb command of their instruments. Second, she dismisses the outdoor bookings of trumpeter and bandleader Jennifer Hartswick and of bassist Ellen Powell as second-class slots . . .

We featured the Spiritual Souls at Sunday’s Gospel Tent, as well. In the tradition of family gospel groups, it was led by four female singers.

I hope that Emily took note of the Flynn’s ’05-’06 jazz season, which was predominantly femaleled jazz ensembles. Bandleader and composer Maria Schneider and bandleader and pianist Myra Melford were here for residencies and performances, and received commissioning support from the Flynn. And Marian McPartland’s concert was a joyous evening and certainly acknowledgment of a woman who has made an enormous contribution to the field.

Only one of the four jazz ensembles featured on the season was led by a man.

What Emily is taking note of is that for a variety of cultural reasons, women are underrepresented in jazz. Perhaps it is a result of the cultures and traditions from which jazz has grown; perhaps it is the difficulty of combining touring with family life. We are fortunate in the Burlington area that the high school bandleaders, particu11:43 AM

larly, are encouraging young women musicians, as is the UVM jazz program. But it takes guts and chops for a woman to pursue a career as a jazz musician.

While the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival does not see presenting women musicians as its primary responsibility, we try very consciously to address diversity in music, in cultures and in participants, while focusing on showcasing excellence and creativity in musicianship in a dynamic intermingling of local and national/ international artists.

Artist suggestions are always welcome!

Rogers is executive director of the Flynn Center.

HEMPOCRIT? Freyne, it is about time you speak the “truth” (too) . . . [“Inside Track,” June 7]. I read your obfuscations on Dr. Bob, the Vermont Grassroots Party and cannabis legislation in Vermont, and do remember you ignoring our party (Vermont Grassroots) and casting aspersions toward marijuana, during the elections. I have always thought you were a hempocrit.

As the past executive director of the Vermont Grassroots Party, taking it to major-party status, and twotime gubernatorial VGP candidate, I was/am not impressed by you.

I find it amusing how you are now all over this issue, as if you

have always been a supporter. Those who lead take all the chances, while those who follow rest in pathetic mediocrity, in my opinion.

You did hit on an important issue, though, one we in the movement have been complaining about for years: the scheduling of marijuana. The feds (not health professionals) have formulated the premise that cannabis does not hold any health benefits.

As a cancer patient, I can attest to marijuana’s medicinal properties, as it has helped save my life and continues to allow me daily comfort, without all the pharma-

ceutical side effects. All the federal proclamations in the world won’t change that fact.

It is a shame that most prescriptions are filled by the black market, where quality and origin is questionable.

Glad to see you have finally come over to our side on this issue.

I am not sure what sparked you to come out of the closet, but am glad you see the light. Perhaps I will stop beating you up now.

But probably not, as you are such an easy target.

FLUTE PAN It has come to my attention that I was mentioned recently in Seven Days [“State of the Arts,” June 14]. To my surprise, my absence on Church Street was attributed to my suffering an attack. The attack certainly happened, but in late 1997, and my last day performing on Church Street was April 24, 2003. I have my reasons for not being on the Marketplace, but that event is not one of them.

Also, I should probably clarify that my page — www.panflute jedi.com/hall.html — is not the

“Panflute Hall of Fame” but “The Hall of Panflutists.” Its purpose is not to give anyone an “alpha listing” (note the alphabetical organization of the page), but to aid the interested in navigating the world of the pan flute in cyberspace. I list all panflutists with a website I know of, whether I am friends with them or not, or whether I agree with them or not, because as panflutists, they all deserve their place there.

In my time in Burlington, I have always been puzzled by this assumed stereotype of artists “wanting to fit in.” I have never had and do not have a need to fit in. I blaze my own trail, and I leave others to do the same.

In my years performing downtown, many have attempted to speak of me to others, presuming to know about me. But no one ever so much as took the time to simply talk to me and get to know me, including the staff at Seven Days.

The truth? Only one person ever truly got to know me in Burlington. And that person is?

Well, I married her.

until receiving my B.A. from UVM, and I’ve recently finished a book touching on a similar note, I thought I’d write.

Israel Behind Bars: True Stories of Hope and Redemption describes my working full-time for over 13 years as a prison rabbi, and an officer with the rank of Major, in the Israel Prison Service.

Interestingly, and perhaps less publicized, that country expands great funds towards reeducating the inmates and assisting the staff.

The position of prison rabbi (each and every prison has one) is a lofty and much-appreciated one.

We are considered a cementing force: calming the population, giving the staff strength and encouragement.

My maximum-security prison held over 600 hardened criminals (including 200 Islamic terrorists). I could not imagine a day when “the rabbi” did not show up. The place would freeze with the pressures of running a prison.

My experience has been that a good-humored, levelheaded chaplain can be, and often is, that one ingredient which takes the bite out of the tension filling the air. A smile anywhere in law-enforcement is essential. From a chaplain/rabbi it can save lives. I’ve seen that . . .

After listening to what we were looking for, Andy and Gemma found us a home that was perfect for our price range, a very difficult thing to do in this market. They were efficient, professional, courteous and made the home buying process simple.

BURLINGTON — Last Sunday afternoon, a perfect 80-degree day brought crowds to the Church Street Marketplace in search, perhaps, of sun, sustenance and sales. Some of those shoppers and café people-watchers were treated to an unexpected, confrontational bit of street theater.

Nine men wearing black hoods and orange jumpsuits, meant to represent Guantanamo Bay prison detainees, made their way down Church Street, hands held — though not cuffed — behind them. Two in front carried an upside-down American flag; two at the rear carried a large white sign with the message: “Arrest the U.S. government — 9/11 was a U.S. military attack.” These strong words met with derision and anger from some; others applauded. “Only in Burlington . . .,” opined one onlooker.

The group stopped in each block for a protest/performance: The “prisoners” kneeled on the ground with heads bowed. An accompanying “narrator,” wearing a striped shirt and cargo shorts, read brief biographical statements on their behalf, standing next to each in turn.

“My name is Jamil al-Banna,” the narrator declaimed. “I have been imprisoned for 4 1/2 years without being charged with a crime. I have not been allowed legal counsel. I have three sons ages 6, 8 and 9. My oldest prays every day that I am not being tortured . . .” At the end of each bio, the narrator shouted, “Only 9/11 truth can set me free.”

The participants this streettheater protest are members of the Vermont 9/11 Truth Group.

According to them, the humanrights abuses at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib prisons, secret “extraordinary renditions” (i.e., torture outsourcing), the U.S. Patriot Act and the military

in Iraq and quagmires Afghanistan all stem from the events of September 11, 2001. A volunteer manned a table set up on the Marketplace block between Bank and College streets offering books, pamphlets, buttons and other resources that question the identity of the perpetrator of those terrorist acts.

At an organizational meeting prior to their demonstration, Shelburne resident Pete Garritano, 50, explained that he and other members of the local Truth Group don’t know whether any of the

cism. There are corollary activists in New York, Chicago, Boston and many other cities. There is a British 9/11 Truth Group, and even a Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth.

According to Garritano, these are not chapters of a national organization; rather, they are all grassroots groups that have cropped up independently and now exchange ideas and information — see www.vt911.org for links.

Nixon explained that the Vermont group launched after David Ray Griffin, author of The

We all don’t think this is what our country is supposed to be about.

PETE GARRITANO

controversial 9/11 conspiracy theories are true, but they are certain the official 9/11 Commission Report doesn’t add up.

Garritano pointed out that the Bush administration delayed the start of an investigation for 441 days after the attacks, and then created a commission composed of Bush loyalists.

Burlington Truth Group member Frank Haddleton, 43, said their immediate goal is a city council resolution calling for a new 9/11 investigation. Thirty-seven-yearold Greg Nixon, also of Burlington, put it this way: “The burden of proof is on the government to tell us what really happened.”

“We believe that the more people actually take the time to examine the facts,” added Garritano, “the more people will realize that the government’s story is like Swiss cheese.”

The Vermont 9/11 Truth Group is not alone in its skepti-

New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11, came to speak at Burlington’s Unitarian Church last fall. His book was one of the offerings at the information table during Sunday’s demonstration.

Garritano believes the Guantanamo protest had, and will continue to have, an impact because of growing public awareness that the prison is a “horrible thing,” he said. He further suggested that an increasing number of Americans are tired of the Bush administration using 9/11 to trump opposition to its policies and actions. “We all don’t think this is what our country is supposed to be about,” Garritano declared. “For many people it is a sensitive subject, but we feel that it is ‘our duty as Americans to be vigilant to protect our liberty,’ as Thomas Jefferson once said.” m

Shoppers at City Market were greeted by the generator-powered balloon, which will travel by car to 28 states this summer, courtesy of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.

Representatives from VPIRG and the offices of Sens. Patrick Leahy and Jim Jeffords held a joint press conference next to the Earth, calling for an 80 percent reduction in global-warming pollution by 2050. Last year was the hottest year on record, and increased temperatures threaten Vermont’s ski and maple sugar industry, and its overall economy, the speakers said. According to VPIRG campaign coordinator Hannah Polow, the U.S. has the technology to reduce its dependence on oil, reduce air pollution, and protect pristine landscapes from oil drilling and mining. She did not say how much fossil fuel will be used to haul the deflated globe around the country.

Lunch at the Library: Barre Kids Check It Out

VERMONT — This summer, kids at Barre’s Aldrich Library are getting the royal treatment. The season’s programming theme is “Realms of Reading,” and it includes such fairy-tale fare as crafting dragons or ogres, storytellers Tim Jennings and Leanne Ponder, films, a magician and a medieval fair. And, of course, actual books.

But in Barre, as around the entire state, most kids don’t live like princes and princesses at all — some of them don’t even have enough to eat. And that’s why the Aldrich was Vermont’s first public library to throw in lunch with the literature. Barre City Schools and the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger (VTCECH) will oversee feeding 650 to 800 children at Aldrich over the course of the summer. The library tends to attract elementary- and middleschool-aged kids, but children’s librarian Adrianne Scucces says the lunches are available to “little kids — if they can chew food — to 18.”

She “inherited” the food program from her predecessor, Scucces says.

Barre has been a “sponsor” of a summer food program since 1993, and has upped the number of places where lunch is served — the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, among other venues, are hosting minor diners as well.

That’s because far more kids receive subsidized lunches during the school year than have been fed June through August, points out Chris Dorer, summer food outreach coordinator for VTCECH. Statewide, the program “serves about 5000 kids every summer,” she says. “But on the other hand,

6/26/06

2x4-sweet062806.indd 1

there are about 25,000 to 30,000 who use a free or reduced lunch program during the school year.”

Though Vermont is “one of the states that’s had the largest growth in summer programs,” notes Dorer, there are still potentially thousands of malnourished children returning to school every fall. Research indicates that these children often

through the child nutrition program in Vermont’s education department.

“One thing I’ve been stressing lately is for schools to participate in the ‘seamless’ summer food option,” Dorer says. Since schools already serve free or discounted lunches to students, she explains, they do not have to re-apply to continue the program in the summer. “In towns

fall behind in their schoolwork and have more chronic health problems. The 150 free-lunch sites around the state are simply not enough. Unfortunately, it’s not easy finding hosts, Dorer concedes, in part because of the paperwork involved in being part of a federally funded program — the money is funneled through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered

like Barre and Winooski, where more than half the population is eligible, it makes sense for communities to sponsor programs like that.”

Organizations that would like to sponsor a summer food program are encouraged to apply — check www.vtnohunger.org for more information. Meanwhile, Dorer hopes more Vermont families will learn that there is such a thing as a free lunch. m

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — At age 62, Richard Terrance Jeroloman should be looking for a nice, quiet place to retire. Instead, he’s looking for a nice, quiet place to park his van each night where it won’t get towed while he sleeps inside.

Jeroloman is a Burlington retiree with no pension and a monthly income of only $150. He now qualifies for senior housing but is facing a two-year wait. As a result, his only address is the Ford Econoline van he’s been living in since the winter of 2004. For months, he spent his nights parked in the public garage next to the Church Street Marketplace — that is, until the police kicked him out.

For the last year, he’s parked wherever he could find a spot in the Old North End. On one recent night, Jeroloman said, he saw four other vans parked on the same block, also with people camped inside.

Jeroloman was one of about 250 people who showed up for last week’s town meeting-style discussion on Burlington’s affordablehousing crisis. The meeting, held at the First Unitarian Universalist Society on Pearl Street, was organized by Vermont Interfaith Action, a federation of nine religious congregations representing 2000 families in the Burlington area. VIA’s goal was to urge city officials and representatives from the University of Vermont to take a more proactive and urgent approach in addressing the city’s housing crisis, and to commit to a speedy timetable for future meetings and new housing projects.

As VIA member David Conrad outlined the findings of his research, it was evident that the scope of Burlington’s housing crisis isn’t affecting only seniors but spans the demographic spectrum — from children and low-income families to people transitioning out of prison; from moderate-income workers employed in the downtown retail district to the very elderly.

A home is considered “affordable” if its residents spend no more than 30 percent of their household income on rent or a mortgage. By that standard, about half of Burlington residents live beyond their housing means. And from all evidence, the problem is getting worse. In 2005, Burlington’s shelters served 30 percent more people than the year before, reflecting an alarming upward trend in homelessness over the last five years.

“There are now over 30 homeless families, with 81 children, living in decrepit motels because they can’t find housing they can afford,” Conrad said. “That’s 30 families too many.”

VIA’s goals, Conrad explained, are threefold. First, the group has launched a “YIMBY” drive — or “Yes In My Back Yard” public education campaign, to convince local residents to be more accepting and supportive of new affordable housing projects.

Second, VIA announced plans to work on countrywide solutions that reach beyond the city’s borders. Finally, VIA called on religious leaders of all denominations to consider using religiousowned properties to develop new affordable housing units.

Conrad then spelled out the “first steps” that VIA has endorsed to ensure that Burlington “remains

THE WESTLAKE PROJECT

a city for all.” First, the group is asking city council and the mayor’s office to close a loophole in the inclusionary zoning ordinance.

That ordinance requires developers to build a certain percentage of affordable housing units as part of any market-rate housing project.

However, a loophole in the law permits developers to opt out of building the affordable units by paying into a “housing trust fund” — at a rate of $12,000 per unit.

So, for example, when the 32 luxury condos in the Westlake project at the corner of Cherry and Battery were approved by the city, the inclusionary zoning ordinance would have required that 13 of those units be affordable. But the loophole allowed the developer to build only eight, and pay $60,000 for the remaining five.

“Twelve thousand dollars is just a fraction — about 10 percent — of the cost of building one affordable housing unit,” Conrad said. “We don’t need more $775,000 condos in Burlington. We need more decent housing for working people.”

Brian Pine is assistant director of housing for the Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO). Pine explained to the audience that while he personally supports closing the inclusionary zoning loophole, he doesn’t believe such a move would withstand a legal challenge. Pine pointed out that the ordinance has been a successful mechanism for developing reasonably priced housing; in the 16 years since it was enacted, only two developers have taken advantage of the loophole.

Next, VIA member Sally Conrad asked CEDO Director Michael Monte if the city would consider building affordable housing on city-owned property at Browns Court. She also called on Monte to recommend that at least 75 percent of those units be affordable, and that at least one-quarter be rented to very low-income families.

For his part, Monte had no problem ensuring that “some portion” of those units would be occupied by very low-income families, though he couldn’t commit to a specific percentage or number without first consulting the Burlington Community Land Trust, one of the partners in that project. Monte was equally vague when pressed for a time frame for breaking ground on the Browns Court project, though he said it would “likely” occur before September 15.

VIA then asked Mayor Bob Kiss to convene a meeting of the various stakeholders on using a cityowned parking lot on Elmwood Avenue as another site for an affordable housing project. The lot is currently used for parking by the federal courthouse and CCV. While Kiss was amenable to the idea of such a meeting, he said that a September 15 deadline was “probably not realistic.”

Finally, VIA asked UVM Vice President Tom Gustafson if he would commit to a new study on the impact of the university on Burlington’s rental market. VIA noted that the last study of its kind was done in 1998, and the data is outdated. VIA is concerned about UVM’s ambitious goal of enrolling 9400 students by 2013, as well as a new, campus-wide policy that will prohibit alcohol in all dorms.

While Gustafson was open to the idea of such a study, he said it makes more sense to first sit down with all the interested stakeholders and hash out what the parameters of such a study should be.

“Will I commit to a study? Not yet,” Gustafson added. “Will I commit to sitting down and talking about these issues and outlining the challenges and then deciding what to do? Absolutely.”

Not content to accept such an open-ended commitment, VIA pressed Gustafson to convene that meeting within the next three weeks. He agreed. m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Election Reform Up in Smoke

I

f you want to read a depressing column about how the U.S. Supreme Court just turned its back on freedom and democracy by shooting down Act 64, Vermont’s historic 1997 campaign finance law, you will have to go elsewhere.

The high court’s Monday rejection of Vermont’s attempt to rein in campaign spending and all the crap it buys, from TV commercial time to lawn signs and automated, mass phone-calling, did not come as a surprise.

The winners, including the Vermont Republican State Committee and Vermont Right to Life, are justly proud of their efforts to prevent campaign spending limits. Money is free speech, they argued.

Congratulations!

Meanwhile, the losers are licking their legal wounds and noting the Supreme Court’s divided decision could have been much worse. They insist the reform effort will live on.

For now, money will do the most talking.

Cheers!

Speaking of reform, our item a couple weeks back on a new UCLA study indicating that smoking marijuana, unlike tobacco, does not cause lung and other cancers, got an interesting response. We noted the mainstream press ignored the remarkable study, even though it was conducted by a distinguished scientist who’s on the “War on Drugs” payroll.

One reader who took note is a veteran Vermont law enforcement official — Windsor County State’s Attorney Bobby Sand. The prosecutor forwarded an op-ed he’d written a couple years back about a number of “myths and misconceptions about the criminal justice system.”

Among Sand’s myths were “Increased Punishment Increases Deterrence” and “The Criminal Justice System Prevents Crime.”

But the reason he sent it along was the myth he cited related to pot: “The War on Marijuana Is Winnable and Worth Fighting.”

The “myth,” according to Sand, is that marijuana is a dangerous Schedule 1 drug that belongs right up there with heroin and cocaine.

“The reality,” wrote Sand, “is that marijuana is not a criminal justice menace.

Police do not respond to pot-induced domestic assaults — alcohol-induced, yes, but not marijuana.”

Prosecutor Sand, the son of a federal judge, would like to see cops and courts stop busting and prosecuting Vermont pot smokers and reallocating that time to “the eradication of the physical and sexual abuse of children.” Marijuana, he argues, should be a public health issue, like tobacco use by minors.

Interesting.

“Until our elected officials are prepared to shed the hypocrisy,” said Sand this week, “we are doomed to more dangerous communities, lost revenue, and misdirected police efforts.”

The Vermont prosecutor referred us to Law Enforcement Against Prohibition at www.leap.cc. LEAP is composed of current and former cops and prosecutors who argue it’s in America’s best interest to end

the current drug prohibition. The website features a fascinating 12-minute movie in which frontline law enforcement vets explain why the U.S. drug war will never, ever taste victory. It’s worth a watch.

Thank you, Mr. State’s Attorney, for sharing.

Calling 911? — Very unusual scene Monday night at the Burlington City Council. Can’t remember the last time we’ve seen city workers so ticked off at management, specifically certain members of the city council.

During the open forum section of the meeting, anyone can address the council for three minutes. Detective Ray Nails, president of the Burlington Police Officers Association, patiently waited his turn. He was nattily attired in a lavendar shirt and tie with an earring and looked very much like a detective on TV. He didn’t wear a sport coat. The weapon in the holster hanging in his right armpit was visible to all. And “Tough As” Nails was not a happy camper.

The union prez was there to respond to recent action by the council reported under the Freeps headline, “City Salaries Contribute to Pension Deficit.” At the last meeting, Councilor Joan Shannon (DWard 5) had complained rather forcefully that city workers had better pension benefits than the taxpayers who pay their salaries. Shannon sponsored a budget amendment making that distinction explicit. It passed on a 7-6 vote.

And, yes, Shannon is a Democrat. And, yes, Ward 5 is home turf for former Democratic Govs. Madeleine Kunin and Howard Dean. And, yes, it is rather unusual for a Democrat to publicly criticize benefits that unionized workers fought hard to attain.

Councilor Shannon, who did not respond to our request for an interview on Tuesday, is the only Democratic politician we know who designs bathing suits for tall ladies. Check out www.longswimwear.com.

Detective Nails told an attentive city council that he “hopes there will never be a repeat performance of the last city council meeting when employees were bashed. It’s the employees who have come forward with concessions. It’s the employees who have come forward with suggestions,” said Nails.

The police union just signed a new four-year contract with the city. It was one of Mayor Peter Clavelle’s final acts. Cops made concessions, and new Burlington cops will pay the biggest price.

In fact, Nails insisted, the pension deficit “has never been an employee problem. It’s a funding problem!”

“Let’s not try to blame city employees,” Republican City Councilor Kurt Wright (R-Ward 4) told “Inside Track.” “The previous administration,” he charged, “made some very serious errors.”

Everybody knows the new mayor, Progressive Bob Kiss, walked into a financial tight spot. Mayor Kiss won council approval for a bare-bones budget for the coming fiscal year that starts July 1, but even that required a property tax increase.

Wright charged that Mayor Moonie skillfully postponed action on the Queen Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the previous mayor to put off this issue at the time,â&#x20AC;? said Wright, â&#x20AC;&#x153;meant he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to ask voters for a tax increase. With a race for governor coming up,â&#x20AC;? said Kurt the Republican, â&#x20AC;&#x153;he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want this on his radar screen.â&#x20AC;?

Hey, Clavelle wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stupid.

As it happened, Mayor Moonieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run for governor in 2004 as the Democratic Party standard bearer deteriorated quickly. In the end, the man who filled Bernie Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shoes as mayor crashed and burned as a statewide candidate, finishing up with an embarrassing 37.9 percent of the popular vote.

The Clavelle administration â&#x20AC;&#x153;underfunded their pension system and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s against the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be done. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s against the rules,â&#x20AC;? said Police Union Secretary John Frederico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we did something against the rules, what do you think the scrutiny would be, and how high would it be?â&#x20AC;?

And nobody knows the rules better than the cops, right?

The current leadership of the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republic of Burlington, Vermont, is facing some serious culture shock on the management vs. labor front. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget it was the unionized city workers in police, fire, public works and at Burlington Electric who contributed mightily to all those â&#x20AC;&#x153;most livable cityâ&#x20AC;? awards Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Burlap picked up in the 1990s.

Congressional Priorities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Forget the endless slaughter of innocents we touched off in Iraq.

Forget the daily suicide bombers in search of American victims.

Forget the devastation that global warming will wreak with rising sea levels. Forget the out-of-control Bush deficit. Forget the desecration of our troopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; corpses!

For once, the U.S. Congress is tackling a critically important issue this week: the desecration of the American flag.

As we write this, C-SPAN is on in the background, broadcasting the U.S. Senate debate over a constitutional amendment that would ban flag burning.

Like many readers, yours truly was not aware that flag burning was a serious problem facing the United States. Rather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the November congressional elections and wrapping as many Republicans in the flag as possible. The good news is, the rubberstamp GOP Congress, which has played a vital role in leading our country in the wrong direction, is worried about its survival.

So, just as in the Vietnam War days, when a dishonest White House had nowhere else to go, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take action against those who, as Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) just said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;urinate and defecate on the flag.â&#x20AC;?

ly, without a warrant or regard for the U.S. Constitution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the phone records of ordinary Americans as part of its unwinnable â&#x20AC;&#x153;War on Terror.â&#x20AC;?

Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigness, however, often hampers his efforts. As we know from the 9/11 reports, the government had plenty of evidence in advance, but was positively incompetent when it came to putting it all together.

On the bright side, the Senate flag debate provides a moment for Vermont to shine. Both Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, and Sen. Jim Jeffords, the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Independent, eloquently stated their opposition to the GOP campaign stunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans are without health insurance, gas prices are out of control,â&#x20AC;? said Jeezum Jim to his colleagues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we still have no strategy for the war in Iraq.â&#x20AC;?

Jeffords called the GOPbacked flag debate â&#x20AC;&#x153;a solution in search of a problem.â&#x20AC;?

A 30-year U.S. Navy veteran, Jeffords said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;disrespectfulâ&#x20AC;? of the sacrifices of our military to desecrate the flag. However, he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our commitment to free speech must be strong enough to protect the right of those who express unpopular ideas, or who choose such a distasteful means of expression. This concept is at the center of what we stand for as Americans.â&#x20AC;?

St. Patrick told the Senate that the GOP leadership was â&#x20AC;&#x153;returning again and again to using constitutional amendments as election-year rallying cries to excite the passion of voters. That is wrong. The Constitution is too important to be used for partisan political purposes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and so, in my view, is our American flag.â&#x20AC;?

Good points, guys.

Tarrant Sells Home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? has learned that Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Richard Tarrant has sold one of his two Florida homes.

According to Broward County, Florida, land records, Richie Rich sold his Lighthouse Point home on June 13 for $1.8 million. That hacienda, his smaller one, was assessed at $1,447,210. Richie and his second wife still have the new, $8.8 million mansion next to the ocean along the Hillsboro Mile, as we reported in January.

Tarrant also continues to own a Colchester, Vermont, residence assessed at $477,000.

The retired cofounder of IDX has declined to make public the true extent of his personal fortune. In his federal filing, Richie Rich checked the â&#x20AC;&#x153;over $50 millionâ&#x20AC;? box, the highest category available, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything beyond that.

According to reliable sources, recent tracking polls have Tarrant far behind the frontrunner, Independent Rep. Bernie Sanders. Olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bernardo is still registering support in the low 60s.

Tarrant, meanwhile, remains in the high 20s, despite a continuous and expensive TV ad campaign that many Vermonters are, frankly, getting pretty sick of.

Vermont Milk Mess â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sunday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Can Quote Meâ&#x20AC;? on WCAX-TV was one of the

best in quite some time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because, instead of politicians or state officials, Marselis Parsons and Anson Tebbetts questioned two veteran Vermont dairy farmers who are facing a financial crisis due to the wet weather and the lowest milk price in years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; around $12 a hundredweight. It was at $19 two years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Magnant from Franklin County, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time in 40 years that I started haying before I planted my crops.â&#x20AC;?

And a lot of that hay is going bad because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just too wet.

Paul Doton from Orange County said Vermont dairy farmers need help, and not just more low-interest loans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tightened the belt so many loops,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to squeeze too much.â&#x20AC;?

The fact is, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk supply does not need Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk. Western dairy operations are larger and cheaper to operate.

Milkers Magnant and Doton said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting Congress to help them out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quotaâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;compactâ&#x20AC;? are dirty words in Washington, they said, where western states have the votes to prevail.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crunch time on the farm, folks. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk of establishing a special new Vermont milk brand and giving consumers a chance to back local farmers.

It may be the last best hope.

Media Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Associated Press last week announced its choice for a new boss at the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Montpelier bureau, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already wished him well.

John Curran, 48, will replace Chris Graff, a Montpelier fixture who was abruptly fired in March. Mr. Curran has been at APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlantic City bureau for the past 12 years. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of Miss America coverage. Wonder if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gambler, too?

In fact, we contacted Curran by email welcoming him to Vermont. The fact is, he had nothing whatsoever to do with what most Vermonters believe was unjust, unfair and unexplainable treatment of Graff.

Unfortunately, Curran did not feel like a chat with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? just yet. He responded by email, thanking us for our welcome note, and saying he looks forward to meeting up when he takes over the Montpeculiar bureau in August. With three months until the general election, Curran will face a steep learning curve. Good thing there are four seasoned Vermont veterans on duty: Ross Sneyd, Wilson Ring, Dave Gram and Lisa Rathke.

P.S. A reader sent us this clip from our March 29 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? in which we looked into our crystal ball: Everyone expects that, once this simmers down, AP will tap veteran Statehouse/political reporter Ross Sneyd as Graffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement. Mr. Sneyd is highly respected and his work reflects the same high standard Graff set. Which is why the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? AP will probably fool the â&#x20AC;&#x153;experts,â&#x20AC;? show Vermont whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss, and bring in someone new from out of state.

Interesting. m

If you’re looking for home financing, we’re here to provide you with the expert, helpful, one-on-one service you need. And we’ll always try to make the process as simple and hassle-free as possible for you. So call us—your neighbors—today!

Dear Cecil, When I’m feeling cynical about well-publicized criminal trials, I sometimes use the timeworn phrase, “they’ve never hung a millionaire in the U.S.” Certainly I can’t think of one. But is it true?

Timothy G. Merker, Chicago If the expression “You simply cannot hang a millionaire in America,” attributed to politician and orator William Bourke Cockran (1854-1923), is timeworn, Tim, it’s not from overuse — Google turns up a big four hits. That tells you something about U.S. attitudes right there, because the fact is, while a few millionaires have gone to the gallows (chair, whatever), we haven’t hanged many. Let’s count: Labor racketeer Louis “Lepke” Buchalter made millions in the 1920s and ’30s. Under investigation for extortion and murder, Lepke — head of the notorious organizedcrime hit squad nicknamed Murder, Inc. — waged a “war of extermination” against potential informants. Dozens died, but the scorched-earth policy backfired, encouraging targets to take their chances with the law; one witness at Buchalter’s eventual murder trial in 1941 agreed to testify only after being shot in the head on Buchalter’s instructions. Buchalter was convicted despite spending an estimated quarter million on his defense. He appealed as far as the U.S. Supreme Court but was finally electrocuted in 1944. That’s one.

Perhaps other executed crime bosses were millionaires. One candidate is drug kingpin Juan Garza, exact worth unknown, executed by the feds in 2001 for murder. Call that two.

After that pickings are slim. Dr. John Webster was a professor at the Massachusetts Medical College. Not a millionaire strictly speaking, Webster inherited $50,000 (today worth about a million) but had squandered it by 1849, when a creditor came to collect a debt and the strapped Webster killed, dismembered, and partially cremated him. Still, he had rich friends who pledged $2,000 for his defense. Disclaiming all knowledge of the body parts found in his laboratory, however, Webster could find no lawyer to defend him, and his appointed attorneys couldn’t save him. He confessed before he was hanged.

Philip Spencer, son of the secretary of war, was acting midshipman on the U.S. brig-of-war Somers when accused of fomenting mutiny in 1842. Commander Alexander Mackenzie, fearing more crewmen would turn mutinous and having no place to securely hold them, hanged Spencer, only 18, and two others at sea without a legitimate trial. Though probably not a millionaire in 1842 dollars, Secretary Spencer could have mounted a defense for his son worthy of O.J. Because the hangings were extralegal, Mackenzie was later court-martialed for murder but got off with a verdict of “not proved,” possibly because he had influential supporters of his own — his brother had recently been elected to Congress.

In 1780 Americans captured Benedict Arnold’s British handler, Major John André. He wasn’t a millionaire but his father had been, adjusting for inflation. André, not considering himself a spy, voluntarily testified without counsel before a board of officers. Conclusion: spy.

Recommendation: death. The British spurned a proposed André-Arnold exchange, and the major hanged.

So the tally is one or two crime bosses and a few longago toffs lacking funds. You say the rich don’t commit

murders as often? True, but even a partial list of well-off, well-connected defendants who could have hanged but didn’t is impressive: • Congressman Dan Sickles, found temporarily insane in the 1859 killing of his wife’s lover.

• Harry K. Thaw, son of a railroad baron, found insane in the 1906 slaying of architect Stanford White.

• Wealthy college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb; pleaded guilty to the 1924 thrill killing of a boy in Chicago and imprisoned but spared the noose.

• Texas oilman T. Cullen Davis, acquitted of the 1976 murder of his estranged wife’s daughter.

• Real estate heir Thomas Capano, convicted of the 1996 murder of his girlfriend in Delaware; death sentence reduced to life without parole.

• Robert Durst, another real estate heir, acquitted of the 2001 murder of an elderly drifter in Texas.

And many more. Prosecutors often don’t even pursue the death penalty against the rich — think O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake, Phil Spector and John du Pont (of the chemical du Ponts). You needn’t hire a Johnnie Cochran or a Clarence Darrow to get the treatment. An analysis of Georgia cases showed that prosecutors were almost twice as likely to ask for the death penalty when the defendant couldn’t afford a lawyer.

Nationwide, an estimated 90-plus percent of those arrested for capital crimes are too poor to retain experienced private counsel. In Kentucky, a quarter of death-row inmates were defended by lawyers who were later disbarred (or resigned to avoid disbarment); other states are similar.

A few states have offices dedicated to providing a proper defense for capital defendants, but a Texas jurist summed up the attitude elsewhere: “The Constitution does not say that the lawyer has to be awake.” So is it cynical to oppose the death penalty on such grounds? Nah. Just realistic.

Curses, Foiled Again When sheriff’s deputies in Cedar City, Utah, approached Nicholas T. Galanis, 47, to discuss some stolen property, he hopped into his car and fled with his dog. The 5-mile chase along a winding, bumpy dirt road ended when the dog bit its owner on the face, apparently because it didn’t like being bounced around in the car. “Deputies could see the dog in the passenger seat getting slammed into the window,” sheriff’s Detective Jody Edwards said, adding that the agitated animal bit off part of Galanis’ nose.

accused Victor R. Gardner, 22, of stealing seven calves from a Canton farmer by squeezing them into the back seat and trunk of a 2000 Dodge Neon.

• Volunteers clearing trash from Britain’s highest mountain reported finding a piano near the summit. “At first they thought it was just the wooden casing, but then they saw the whole castiron frame complete with strings,” said Nigel Hawkins, director of the John Muir Trust, which owns part of 4418foot Ben Nevis in Scotland. “The only thing that was missing was the keyboard, and that’s another mystery.”

Braunschweig reported that the 70-yearold suspect tried to bite his way out of custody but failed. “It looks like he forgot to put his teeth in,” a police official told Reuters. “One of our police officers got bitten several times, but the man didn’t leave anything but a wet patch.”

Homeland Insecurity Authorities arrested two Saudi Arabian men who boarded a school bus in Tampa, Fla. Despite their evasiveness when questioned, Ahmed Bedier, director of the Central Florida Council on AmericanIslamic Relations, called the incident a cultural mix-up, explaining, “They might have thought it was some kind of public transportation.”

Instant Results Japan’s Ministry of Health and Labor reported that 158 people were stricken with vomiting and diarrhea after a television network broadcast a weight-loss plan consisting of rice mixed with white kidney beans that have been roasted for about 3 minutes and ground into powder. Tokyo Broadcasting System apologized “to all people concerned, including people whose condition was affected,” explaining that the food poisoning was caused by lectin, a protein in the beans that rendered them toxic if not sufficiently heated.

Slightest Provocation Police arrested sisters Pamela Majdan, 23, and Joyce Majdan, 31, after the two began punching each other at a Memorial Day parade in Wood Dale, Ill. The fight began during an argument over which sister caught the most pieces of candy at the parade, according to Deputy Police Chief Greg Vesta, who added, “It’s unfortunate that such a large crowd of people at a parade to remember men and women who gave their lives for their country had to witness this.”

that distinguishing language is something only schoolchildren can learn.

Tim Gentner, a psychology researcher at the University of California at San Diego, said that after about 15,000 tries, nine of 11 starlings learned to differentiate between a regular bird “sentence” and one containing a clause or another sentence. “We were dumbfounded that they could do as well as they did,” Gentner said, adding he was so unprepared for success that he didn’t bother to record the birds’ responses.

Double Duty When police stopped a station wagon with an expired inspection sticker being used to deliver pizzas in Montgomery County, Pa., they noticed a stretcher in the rear, where “pizzas were sitting to be delivered,” according to the report. Driver William Bethel Jr., 24, told them that besides delivering pizza, he “transports deceased bodies in the same vehicle for a funeral home.”

Although carrying bodies and pizzas in the same vehicle isn’t against the law, police impounded the vehicle because it lacked a current inspection sticker and Bethel lacked a valid driver’s license.

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS

Queen Angeline

F

olks, I’ve got some crazy ideas running through my head this week. At least, they sound crazy, but I’m hoping you’ll stay the course while I connect the dots, which is what we do nowadays with ideas on the ground, if you will: We connect the dots.

The last thing we’d want to do is cut and run from an idea just because it’s nutty.

Why, there’d be no end to it! If we cut and run from every nutty idea that comes along, thousands will have died for nothing and might prevent thousands of others from dying for the same reason. On the

We need someone at the helm with genuine spiritual authority and a reputation for good works, such as Angelina has — not some cross-eyed Baptist cracker with shoulder padding. ground, if you will. So, please, stay the course while I connect the dots. OK? Frankly, I’m tired of all these tired media phrases (“on the ground,” “if you will”), but frankly, also, that’s where the craziest of my crazy ideas comes from this week — constant repetition. I woke up the other morning and saw what must have been the 50th story about the death of TV producer Aaron Spelling, the 300th story about Al Gore’s global-warming movie, the thousandth story about Hillary Clinton’s presidential fundraisers, the millionth story, each, about Iraq, bird flu, hurricanes and the “war on terror,” and finally — I’m not making this up — the billionth story about Angelina Jolie and her baby, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, born in the movie-star equivalent of a manger in Namibia and destined for a glory as yet unknown.

Which is why I decided that what America needs now is a monarchy, and that Angelina Jolie should be queen.

Sure, it sounds ridiculous, but hear me out. Like I said, I’m connecting the dots.

Not only does America need a monarchy, but, in my opinion, it needs an absolute monarchy. Not one of those squishy “constitutional” numbers they have in England, but an honest-to-God, autocratic, crackthe-whip, Russian-style despotism, with all power invested in a single person, whose will is law and who is, in the end, indistinguishable from the State itself. We need someone who’ll rule us by fiat, with an iron fist — or, in Angelina’s case, iron lips — and who’ll get America back on track as quick as you can say “Coochie-coo!”

I know, you’ll tell me that we already have one of these people in the form of George W. Bush. But the problem with Bush is that he was elected — or not — to office, and we need to do away with elections altogether. First, they’re fraudulent.

Second, they cost a great deal of money, which could be better spent on diamondstudded pacifiers and gilded bassinets.

Third, we need someone at the helm with genuine spiritual authority and a reputation for good works, such as Angelina has — not some cross-eyed Baptist cracker with shoulder padding. And this person has to be a woman, because, let’s face it, a woman as dominatrix is easier to sell, and we’ll need some advertising to get the idea of absolute monarchy across to the four or five hundred Americans who still believe in representative democracy. Under Bush, Americans have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they don’t care at all about the Constitution, but those few remaining holdouts are hard nuts to crack, and only a woman with iron lips can do it.

Lest you think I’m being entirely frivolous, let me say that I did consider other candidates for queen before I landed on Angelina. I thought first of Cicciolina, “Italy’s most famous porn star,” who recently offered herself to Osama bin Laden, saying, “I’m ready to make a deal.

He can have me in exchange for an end to his tyranny. My breasts have only ever helped people, while bin Laden has killed thousands of innocent victims.” But I had to disqualify Cicciolina because she’s foreign-born, and besides, I don’t think bin Laden is really a breast man.

Next, I thought of the new Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Rt. Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori. She’s already proven herself to be an amazing compromiser — I mean, unifier — over the gay marriage issue, but declared in her first sermon as Top Banana, “Our Mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation. And you and I are His children.” So I had to disqualify her, too. I’m all for the Divine Feminine, but I’m more for the English language, and that sentence, I’m afraid, ain’t grammatical.

Angelina it is. I rush to assure you that, with Angelina as queen, Brad Pitt would have no role to play apart from Prince Consort and farm stud. I suppose he might be allowed to help Angelina decide which impoverished war zone gets to cough up their next adopted baby — Somalia? Darfur? South Central L.A.? — but that’s as far as it goes. Of course, as an absolute monarch, it would be Angelina’s choice what to do with Brad in the end, but consorts have been throttled behind staircases before, and I’m not sure anyone would mind if Ocean’s 13, 14 and 15 never got made.

One last thing: Someone will need to look out for Jennifer Aniston. First, she needs better parts in better movies. Second, absolute autocrats have been known to lose it sometimes, and we’ll want to make sure that Angelina doesn’t have Jennifer stuck in a tower or walled up or something. I happen to know — because I was at the supermarket and saw the headlines — that “It’s Jen’s Time For Happiness,” and, if she can’t be queen, the Jolie-Pitts could at least make her Duchess of Alimony. m

LOW CASH, HIGH E X P E C TAT I O N S If you are saving for a new home, you may feel that it will take you forever to come up with the cash necessary for the down payment and closing costs. Before you delay your purchase any longer, make sure you check into the latest low down and no down mortgage products. You may find that your dream is much closer to a reality than you imagined.

An adventure in every cup!

If you have acceptable credit and a steady job, you may not need a lot of cash to purchase a home. Many recent loan programs allow you to put down as little as three percent, less if you are a veteran, first time homebuyer or have good credit. For example, Vermont Housing Finance Agency has a 100% financing program for borrowers with excellent credit. Even conventional programs now offer 100% financing if your credit is good and you have at least $500 of your own money to contribute to the transaction. There are also cash sources which you may not have considered. The sellers may be willing to pay some of your closing costs or your family might help you with a gift for the down payment. By doing a pre-purchase credit check you can verify if you qualify for these programs or if you need to work on resolving any credit problems before you begin your search for a home. Buyers who thought they were years away from the purchase of a home are often pleasantly surprised to find that they don’t have to wait to begin their search.

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

In Country

T The Simple Life

by Ruth Porter, Bar Nothing Books, 440 pages, $24.95 (hardback) or $14.95 (softcover) Available online or at local bookstores.

Ruth Porter will appear on Mark Johnson’s WDEV radio show on June 30 at 10 a.m.

hanks to the antics of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie playing spoiled rich girls shoveling manure in the boonies, the phrase “the simple life” is hard to utter with a straight face. Calais writer Ruth Porter’s novel The Simple Life intends the title ironically. But it’s still an antidote to the televised heiresses and all they represent.

In the novel’s opening chapter, Jeff and Isabel Rawlings, a Massachusetts couple up for their 25th Green Mountain College reunion, get stuck in spring mud on a remote country road. They’re rescued by a nearby farmer, aged but able Sonny Trumbley, who frees the car handily with his ox team and refuses payment for the favor. Jeff is eager to return to civilization, but Isabel is charmed by Sonny, his oxen and his run-down farm: She sees in them “a life of simple, basic things, the life she had always yearned to live herself . . .”

Fast-forward a year: The couple’s marriage has dissolved, and empty nester Isabel returns to Vermont with a car full of belongings, determined to figure out how to live the “simple life.”

This, or something like it, is the plot set-up of innumerable post-1960s Vermont novels. But anyone who expects The Simple Life to be the story of a middle-aged woman’s conversion to bucolic simplicity will be surprised by its scope and tragic depth.

The “simple life” turns out to be more complicated than it looks, and we see just how complicated when Porter’s third-person narrator enters the minds of the people whose lives Isabel covets.

Sonny Trumbley wants to hang onto his ancestral farm, on its scenic piece of land. But he knows that when he dies, his live-in granddaughter Carol Ann will take the first chance to unload the unprofitable property. Soft-spoken and resigned, Sonny rests his hopes for the future on Carol Ann’s teenage daughter, Al, who accompanies him when he cuts wood and loves to drive his prize oxen, Buck and Ben. Both woodspeople at heart, Al and Sonny have an understanding that Carol Ann can’t penetrate. Yet she too is a sympathetic figure, who sometimes feels “as though she was the only grown-up” in the financially struggling family.

Porter even gives plausible shadings to a stock character of rural tales: the predatory real estate agent. Leroy Lafourniere is a flashy figure in the

small town of Severance, with his big Lincoln, his string of mistresses, and his habit of gambling in Saratoga. He knows how to soften up a potential seller, and he has his eye on the Trumbley farm. But Leroy is also a deeply traditional man, at least in his own mind — “a country boy and local,” not “one of those downcountry types who barge in and start talking about business without even being polite first.”

It’s Leroy who seduces Isabel, distracting her from her plans to live like Thoreau. It’s also he who tells her, prophetically, “People come in here from some place else, and right away they want to change everything to make it just like the place they came from.” Ultimately, the out-of-stater becomes an almost peripheral figure in a tale about the downfall of precisely the sort of rural life she wants to preserve. The Simple Life is a rare book — a genuine “weepie” whose sadness feels earned, not schmaltzy or manipulative, because of the depth of detail Porter has used to make us feel part of the characters’ world.

Because The Simple Life is such a skillfully written and plotted novel, it’s initially a surprise to learn that it was self-published — not in the usual way, where the author works with a third party who prints copies on demand, but literally. Porter and her husband, veteran Vermont newspaperman Bill Porter, started their own company, Bar Nothing Books, to put out the novel.

Sixty-six-year-old Porter conceived The Simple Life 10 years ago and “finished it so many times,” she says.

“Every time I finished it I’d send it out to publishers and get nowhere. By the time I finished it the last time, I knew I was going to do it myself.”

To become publishers, the Porters had to register with the secretary of state, join publishers’ organizations, figure out the mysteries of ISBNs and bar codes, and sign up for directories.

They put up a total of $15,000 for the first thousand copies and $10,000 for the next 2000 — an expensive strategy, but one Porter hopes will eventually break even. In six months, she’s already sold 1000 copies of the book, many of them through wholesaler Baker and Taylor, which sells hardbacks to libraries all over the country.

In return for her investment, Porter is able to say that “Every bit of [the book] is the way I meant it to be, even the commas.” Glenn Suokko, whom she hired to design the book, gave it a muted but elegant look; the Annex Press in Windsor printed it on sturdy paper. The cover image and the stark black-and-white photos that open each chapter are by Porter herself.

The Porters named their new venture after an older one. “We had a friend who used to come and visit our farm, and he would call it the Bar Nothing Ranch,” Porter says, chuckling. The name also refers to the company’s openness to publishing all sorts of books. Bar Nothing will publish Porter’s in-progress next novel, but

she hopes other aspiring writers will “use the structure if they want to.

They can buy ISBNs from us; we’ll tell them what to do,” she says.

Porter has one foot in the urban literary world and the other in the not-sosimple rural life she describes. Her grandfather was Maxwell Perkins, the celebrated editor of Fitzgerald, Wolfe and Hemingway. She was born in New York City into a family where “Everybody . . . thinks books are more important than anything else,” she says.

afternoon and at night,” she recalls.

“We used to buy like pioneers; we’d buy coffee and sugar and flour and salt, and that was just about it.” Since her children left home, Porter has “slacked off” some, but the couple still heats with their own wood and raises vegetables, beef and chickens.

It’s that kind of real-life experience that gives The Simple Life its richness.

Porter adds a burnish of simple eloquence, as when she describes Sonny’s beloved oxen “walking heavily . . .

Anyone who expects The Simple Life to be the story of a middle-aged woman’s conversion to bucolic simplicity will be surprised by its scope and tragic depth.

The Porters came to Vermont in 1963, almost on a whim. “We’d been married a couple of years, and we just wanted to get out of the city,” Porter explains. “We read this article that said South Dakota and Vermont were losing population and every other state in the United States was gaining population. So we said, ‘OK, let’s check out Vermont, and if we don’t like what we see in Vermont, we’re going to South Dakota.’” They stayed.

Was Porter ever as naïve as Isabel about the allure of the “simple life”?

“Probably,” she says thoughtfully, suggesting that those days are far behind her. Soon after they arrived, the Porters bought the farm they still own and started figuring out how to make the most of the land. While her husband worked in town, Porter stayed on the farm raising four children and the food — and writing. “I pretty much made everything. I would spend the whole morning writing and then do the farm stuff in the

rolling the way fat people do when their feet hurt.” The oxen, with their leisurely strength and their “rich smell of fruity fermentation,” are also drawn from life. Porter’s son kept an ox team, a project that originated when the family didn’t want to kill a newborn bull calf. Porter recalls how the teenager learned to manage the animals from old-timers — for instance, an “old guy who made doughnut hooks” showed him how to make a yoke by boiling the wood into a perfect curve.

Porter’s observation of the “oldtime guys” who drive oxen was a major inspiration for the book. “If you ever go to one of those pulls, you see these guys, they have these wonderful relationships with [the oxen],” she says. “Especially the guys that work in the woods with them.” As she speaks, her intense blue eyes convey wonder at a complex and ingenious way of life that’s close to disappearing — without a trace of Paris-andNicole-style condescension. m

hether or not all the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a stage, more and more real-life experiences of Vermonters have been fueling original theater fare of late. Last summer, Bess Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voices project dramatized the lives of Vermont teens, and Kim Bentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lost Nation Theater did the same for the Barre granite industry with Stone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a new and improved version is now playing at Montpelier City Hall. In January, Robin Fawcett and Joan Robinson helped the Flynn Center celebrate its 25th anniversary with Bigger Than All of Us, based on the performance, and audience, experiences of area residents.

The latest evidence of the reality-theater trend is Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill and Other Stories of How We Got Here: Our History of Special Education in Vermont, which premiered last weekend at the Vermont History Expo in Tunbridge. Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill was created

by Emily Anderson, who brings drama experiences to adults with developmental disabilities through Awareness Theater and Champlain Vocational Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CanDo Arts. The latter is a program of Very Special Arts Vermont.

In the past, the CVS group has staged works familiar to the cast: modified versions of The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, the fairy tale â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snow Whiteâ&#x20AC;? and

BILL VILLEMAIRE

Romeo and Juliet. This year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying a different tack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got tired of doing other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories,â&#x20AC;? says Anderson.

The adult-age students â&#x20AC;&#x153;had their own stories.â&#x20AC;?

To bring those narratives to the stage, Anderson began by inviting her charges to share their recollections of school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did lots of discussions and homework and drawings, and then within the class we did scene-making sessions: graduation, favorite teachers, games, goals people had for their lives,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was interesting to me to see that this topic is really alive.â&#x20AC;?

Along with those personal stories, the play chronicles the passage of H55, which in 1977 enabled Vermonters with special needs to continue studying in the public schools after age 21. One of Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students was directly involved

arts 23A

in that fight. Bill Villemaire, who was then in high school, was the issueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;poster childâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Burlington Representative Lorraine Graham, who introduced the measure, nicknamed it â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill,â&#x20AC;? after him. Now 49, Villemaire plays himself in the show.

Also figuring in Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill, and played by other CSV cast members, are: Graham; Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Theresa Villemaire, who resisted expert advice that her son be shipped off to the Brandon Training School; Sister Janice Ryan, who began the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first program for special education professionals, at Trinity College; and Ellie Potash, a beloved Burlington special educator.

Several of the cast members remember Potash, who died in 1999, as the teacher who introduced them to theater when they were kids. VSA Director Judith Chalmer did the research for those characterizations by interviewing teachers, parents, special-ed advocates and legislators about their involvement in the passage of H55.

Anderson combined the transcripts of Chalmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversations with the themes raised by her students to create a script. A Bread and Puppet veteran, she chose cantastoria, a theater form that originated among traveling storytellers in 6th-century India. A narrator tells a tale, usually with instrumental embellishment, while successive illustrations are displayed on banners. A chorus fleshes out the story.

In Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill, Anderson plays the part of the narrator. A cast of roughly 15 VSA students serves as the chorus, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;introducers,â&#x20AC;? who also act out one vignette in each of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five scenes. Versified texts by local storyteller Peter Burns intersperse the stories. A saxophone, an accordion and drums provide musical accompaniment. The banners are based on artwork created by Villemaire.

In keeping with the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civic theme, people will be able to sign up to vote at every performance, according to Chalmer. Since 1993, officials have been required to make voter registration available to people with disabilities. However, in a 2004 Harris Poll, 20 percent of U.S. adults with disabilities reported that they wanted to vote but were unable to.

Chalmer says that in addition to showcasing the performersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; talents, she hopes Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill will â&#x20AC;&#x153;encourage the public to get engaged like the advocates in the show, register to vote, and affect the laws of governance. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really big piece of this.â&#x20AC;?

Anderson concurs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My philosophy for 10 years has been wanting to put people with disabilities on stage,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political, and it also gives people their own context in which to be themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Bill Villemaire puts it more directly.

Asked what he wants audiences to take away from the performance, he replies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fool.â&#x20AC;? m

il isn’t Americans’ only addiction. The citizens of this great land are also hooked on “American Idol.” No other television show comes close to exerting the hold this program has on the viewing public. When spring brings the season finale, tens of millions across the U.S. are left shaking uncontrollably, drooling on themselves and desperate for relief from withdrawal symptoms.

Television executives know this. For most of them, the phenomenon of “Idol” is a good news/bad news proposition. As long as the show is on the air, nothing can touch it in the ratings.

It averages nearly 30 million viewers per episode. Programming professionals who need to schedule any show against it refer to it as the “Death Star.” That’s the bad news.

The good news for broadcasters is that as soon as the program goes off the air, it leaves a massive vacuum in

to survive on programming that’s not just inferior but, in many cases, downright weird.

Most of the population is going to mainline as much “America’s Got Talent” as it can. The show’s not merely a calculated “Idol” fix; it’s a fix calculated by the star of “American Idol” himself, Simon Cowell. He’s a wily one, that Cowell. It’s not enough for him to make millions presiding over the most popular and influential broadcast of our time; he also wants to make millions filling the vacuum it leaves behind when it’s off the air.

Brilliant. The one bugaboo with his evil scheme: The show blows like Katrina on steroids.

I’ve seen audience free-for-alls on “The Jerry Springer Show” with more entertainment value. They should’ve called it “Freak Show.” Or “America’s Got Emotional Problems.” Where to

charge have so little grip on the rules.

The contest operates “Gong Show”style. Each judge has a buzzer he or she can use to stop a contestant’s audition.

The way it’s supposed to work is that one hopeful after another comes on stage and does whatever. Afterwards, the judges are supposed to vote on whether the contestant is eliminated or allowed to move on to the next show.

What happens instead is that the three engage in an embarrassing power struggle to determine who will emerge as the alpha-judge. They interrupt and speak over one another — especially the two guys. They bicker and childishly press each other’s buzzers when they want someone booted, like it’s all a game they couldn’t be bothered to take seriously.

Problem B: the contestants. We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto. The talent pool isn’t limited to aspiring

ABC’s “Master of Champions” kicked off last Thursday. Once again, light on singers, heavy on oddball acts such as blindfolded foot archers, extreme unicyclists and interpretive pizza tossers.

When did reality TV turn into a Fellini movie? its wake. Suddenly a nation of talentcontest junkies is up for grabs. Nobody believes they’re going to take the place of the real thing, but everybody wants to hook as much of its audience as they can as quickly as they can, and feed the need just long enough to make up some of that revenue they lost to the monster. It’s the TV equivalent of methadone.

At least, some of it is methadone.

Most of it is more like a flat can of Pabst with a cigarette butt or two dropped in. Nope, there’s not a lot of good stuff on the street this summer.

even begin. The competition debuted last Wednesday on NBC. It airs twice a week and is hosted by Regis Philbin.

The grand prize is $1 million. Problem A: the celebrity judges — Brandy, David Hasselhoff and mandatory Britwiseass Piers Morgan, introduced as a “renowned journalist.” Together they have barely the IQ of William Hung.

None of them appears to have shown up for rehearsals, and Hasselhoff behaves as if he tippled a few too many before airtime.

The show is pure chaos. I’ve never watched a major television production of this type on which the people in

singers but has been opened up — way up — to include anyone from aspiring drag queens, finger snappers and nose flutists to aspiring animal acts, stripping seniors and rapping grannies. And the skills on display here aren’t the oddest thing about this hootenanny.

That would be the often rude and adversarial behavior contestants display toward the trio who hold their fates in their hands.

It was strange to watch a gonged performer snap at Brandy, “How many hits do you have out right now?” It was even stranger to look on as a gonged, disgruntled juggler barked at Morgan, “You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. You don’t know any-

thing about juggling!” The strangest sight of all? Morgan backing down and agreeing to give the guy a second chance on the following week’s show.

Whether any of these people actually takes the grand prize, it’s safe to say the terrorists have won.

The public certainly hasn’t, as a quick scan of Cowell’s competition will confirm: Let’s see, you’ve got ABC’s “Master of Champions,” which kicked off last Thursday. Once again, light on singers, heavy on oddball acts such as blindfolded foot archers, extreme unicyclists and interpretive pizza tossers.

When did reality TV turn into a Fellini movie?

“So You Think You Can Dance” has been running on Fox for a while now. I can’t stand to watch long enough to gauge how thoroughly awful this is, so you’re on your own. Ditto with the network’s “Hell’s Kitchen.”

What’s frying that blowhard’s fanny, anyway?

Starting July 5, CBS’ “Rock Star: Supernova” takes us on another search for a lead singer, this time for a makebelieve band made up of Motley Crüe’s Tommy Lee, Metallica’s Jason Newsted and Gilby Clarke of Guns N’ Roses.

The Fox Reality Channel gets into the act with an elimination entry called “Reality Remix.” The Gospel Music Channel will offer “Gospel Dream,” which I take to be “American Idol” with cowboy hats, and the makers of “The One: Making a Music Star” (ABC) will follow 11 contestants as they matriculate through a music academy. The question is, will anyone else?

Yes, stars will be born this summer, from one end of the dial to the other: On “I Want to Be a Soap Star” (SOAPnet), “Looking for Stars” (appropriately enough, on Starz) — even on HGTV, where America’s most talented interior decorator will be crowned on (I’m not making this up) “Design Star.” Reading this, perhaps you’re thinking the talent-show frenzy has gone as far as a merciful God could possibly allow. How, then, do you explain “Dancing Pet Stars” (Animal Planet)? Swing-dancing dogs: one of the signs of the apocalypse, I’m pretty sure.

And it gets worse. The music-television network Fuse recently premiered something called “Pants-Off DanceOff,” on which contestants ranging from schoolteachers to senior citizens — you can’t make old people keep their clothes on anymore! — strip to music. TV Guide took one look and declared it “the dumbest show on television.”

Now there’s a title for which there is serious competition. m

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also a little discouraged that The Great Warming ends its run on June 28 to make room for Superman Returns. Although I suppose we all need heroes, and I was one of only 14 moviegoers during a prime Friday-night screening last week.

Each in their own way, An Inconvenient Truth and The Great Warming bring the issue down to a question of morality. Unless viewers can dismiss what appears to be an unimpeachable scientific argument for substantially addressing global warming, they must feel tacitly complicit in the eco-crime.

This appeal to ethics is a shrewd way of framing the debate cinematically. Consider that many filmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most dramatic moments often arrive when the main character faces a moral dilemma. Well, here we are, the main characters in this story. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached the climax â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the ultimate confrontation with the antagonist, in this case the unholy wrath of a planetary biome attempting to restore itself to balance.

Who will prevail? People seem to be talking more about global warming, and increasingly that talk seems to center on what we can do about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to sell my car,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Jane Gattone of Burlington following a recent showing of The Great Warming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to buy our mopeds.â&#x20AC;? She was referring to her movie companion, Sally Newton of South Burlington, who voiced a common post-film sentiment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came out with frustration,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do we get peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness up? How do we get people to care?â&#x20AC;?

Such animated discussion testifies to the success of these films. But affecting change clearly requires action â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before the crisis becomes irreversible. Some scientists see global warming as akin to cancer. They

know it’s there, and that it may still be treatable. But will we seek treatment before we really feel the pain? The question places us at an evolutionary crossroads: Do we continue on our current path of consumption and pollution, or change course?

I have to confess: Some of the most fun I’ve had this summer has been cruising Lake Champlain in a motorboat and watching race cars at Barre’s Thunder Road. And another: I sometimes drive to places I could reach — if I gave myself more time — on foot or bicycle. My rationalizations: I deeply appreciate the region’s natural beauty when I’m out on the lake, its distinctive cultural character when I’m at the track. (And the gentle hills of Washington County are easy on the eyes.) I come away from these experiences inspired to preserve what’s unique about Vermont. And anyway, I had nothing to do with designing my car-dependent community. I was born into sprawl.

Still, there are things I can do to diminish my eco “footprint”: I can budget my time better, walk more, drive less, and conserve resources — gas, electricity, water, paper, land — by using only what I need. I can hope that others are considering similar measures — say, my consumer counterparts in the People’s

He’s the lapdog of industrial agents who pollute with impunity, and he has blithely led us into the maw of war just to fetch their slippers. If I were a devout Christian, as are, supposedly, many Bush supporters, I’d wonder how he countenances this unrepentant desecration of God’s creation. I’d ask him what shall it profit believers in traditional heterosexual marriage should they lose the very ground upon which their altar stands? I’d tell him to crack open a junior high science textbook, for chrissakes.

I didn’t vote for Bush, and in future elections I won’t vote for anyone who hesitates to call his administration out on their recklessness in every major arena of governance. But of course climate change is a local matter as well, and that means any Vermont candidate who wants my vote must have an informed position on the most pressing environmental issues of the day.

I’m not so naïve as to expect a smooth shift from the old-energy economy to the new-energy economy — one powered by cleaner, renewable resources — in the course of a single election. As another incisive documentary film, 2004’s The End of Suburbia, predicts, social and political upheaval will attend the demand for oil after global production has peaked and begun its decline.

There are four Chinese people for every North American.

All this makes my curbside recycling seem paltry. I’ll continue to do my part, but I take Gore’s message as a call for sound environmental leadership at all levels of government. Citizen action, then, must entail creating an inhospitable environment for irresponsible stewards of the land.

In the doomsday predictions of our nation’s imperial decline, President Bush is the Nero who fiddles while Rome burns. In my opinion, he’s well cast in the part:

Some petroleum experts say this benchmark has already been reached, and one could argue the upheaval has begun.

But I’m not cynical. For decades engineers have been developing new energy technologies. In Vermont, a Bridport farm is reportedly using the methane in cow manure to power its generators and hundreds of nearby homes. I look to these developments when my faith in human survival flags. I remind myself that, ultimately, cynicism is cowardice, because it allows one to slink away from a challenge. And, unless all this global-warming warning is just hot air, we’re going to run out of places to be cool. m

The reports back were uniformly negative.

Schnapp set the tone by noting that his hometown of Cambridge, Massachu-setts, enjoys a municipal budget surplus but is experiencing federal cutbacks in maintenance and services at public housing projects.

One workshop participant cited the recent sale â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Rich Tarrant, who is now running for U.S. Senate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of IDX, a successful homegrown medical software company, to General Electric Health Care.

local groups.

Another member of the group said that real estate prices had escalated to the point where about half of Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40,000 residents now qualify for affordable-housing subsidies. Schnapp explained that â&#x20AC;&#x153;affordableâ&#x20AC;? applies when housing costs are under 30 percent of a householdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income.

Three teacher strikes took place this year in northern Vermont mainly in response to school boardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attempts to lower the costs of health insurance coverage, another workshop participant noted. Many residents of the affected communities were angered by the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; demands for retention of benefits that are unavailable to most Vermonters, the speaker said. She described their attitude as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have health care coverage, so why should teachers have it?â&#x20AC;?

Such a reaction is â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally understandable,â&#x20AC;? Schnapp said, calling it symptomatic of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the race to the bottom.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;help wantedâ&#x20AC;? section of the Rutland Herald consumes considerably less newsprint today than a year ago, another dialogue partner reported. Others voiced complaints about the declining number of in-state students admitted to the University of Vermont.

No one acknowledged any positive economic developments, such as the integration into the Burlington-area workforce of large numbers of African refugees. Left unnoted, too, was Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistently low unemployment and poverty rates in comparison to the national averages.

Next came a skit in which 10 volunteers sat in a line of 10 chairs, facing the rest of the audience. The sitters represented the population of the United States, and the chairs stood for the amount of wealth in the country, Schnapp explained. He then had >> 31A

Vermont Sovereignty Declaration Recent actions by the United States government, including the prosecution of illegal wars, the USA PATRIOT Act, the illegal rendition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;terrorist suspects,â&#x20AC;? prisoner abuse and torture, citizen surveillance, violations of our constitutional rights, the suspension of habeas corpus, a foreign policy based on full spectrum dominance and imperial overstretch, and a culture of deceit have all given rise to legitimate concern that under circumstances of its own choosing, the federal government might not rule out: â&#x20AC;˘ the suspension of the U.S. Constitution or Bill of Rights, â&#x20AC;˘ the declaration of martial law, â&#x20AC;˘ the militarization of civilian police functions, â&#x20AC;˘ the suspension of free elections, â&#x20AC;˘ the usurpation of individual property rights, or â&#x20AC;˘ the negation of the Second Amendment right to bear arms.

In light of these troubling developments, the People of Vermont hereby reaffirm: â&#x20AC;˘ OUR right of sovereignty, â&#x20AC;˘ OUR right to nullify acts of the central government deemed to be unconstitutional, â&#x20AC;˘ OUR right to secede from the Union, and â&#x20AC;˘ OUR right to call a statewide Convention to decide whether or not Vermont remains in the Union.

nine role-players sit on top of one another in three of the seats, while one white male was left to luxuriate in the seven other chairs.

The vignette illustrated the concentration of 70 percent of the national wealth among 10 percent of the population, and the consequent elbowing for position by the remaining 90 percent of Americans.

Schnapp, a gray-bearded Bronx native with a mellow manner, flipped through an easel-full of charts and bar graphs that had also been distributed in packet form. One visual aid showed how military allocations dominate federal discretionary spending. Bush’s proposed Pentagon budget for fiscal 2007 totals $419 billion, while his requests for education, health care and housing assistance amount to $56 billion, $49 billion and $29 billion, respectively.

In a drawing entitled “The Bush Vise,” social programs were squeezed by jaws labeled “big increases in military spending” and “tax cuts (mainly for the wealthy).” The outcome was “huge deficits.”

Schnapp also displayed a line graph charting the shifts in corporate profit rates from 1952 to 2004. A 6 percent pre-tax rate is considered the standard for a financially sound corporation, he said. That line remained above the target level until the mid1970s, and then fell below it until the early 1990s. It dipped again toward the end of the Clinton era and has been heading back above the 6 percent mark since 2001, when Bush took office.

Schnapp implied there is a relationship between the rise and fall of corporate profits and the size of federal budget deficits, though he never made clear that correlation.

It was much easier to understand the sketch of a “TwoHeaded Monster,” subtitled “Myths & Misconceptions.”

One scary-looking figure was called “War Abroad” and was semi-circled by terms such as Arab Terrorists, Colombian Drug Lords, Axis of Evil and “Rogue” States. The co-joined goblin was named “War at Home.” Its accompanying tags included Reverse Discrimination, Youth Gangs and “Illegal” Immigrants.

No one in attendance suggested that Arab Terrorists might be more than bogeymen, or that a “rogue” state such as Somalia may pose an actual

threat to neighboring nations’ security. The complexities of Americans’ response to affirmative action and illegal immigration were also not discussed.

A section of the handout headed “What Can We Do?” featured an observation by Martin Luther King Jr., demonstrating that his social critique extended far beyond racial issues. “We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values,” King declared in this undated speech excerpt. “We must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society.

When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

Offering their own action proposals, workshop members cited support for progressive candidates, activism in the form of demonstrations, and educational

outreach to Americans who do not already share the perspective of United for a Fair Economy. As an example of the latter approach, Emma Mulvaney-Stanak of the Vermont Livable Wage Campaign noted that the Peace & Justice Center had conducted a workshop at the Vermont teachers’ union conference last summer on introducing economic equality issues into public school curricula.

Last week’s initial session was worthwhile, in the view of Joanne Brooking of Plainfield. “It’s always beneficial to get with other people and refresh yourself,” she said, adding she had “learned about some different perspectives.” Brooking, the mother of four sons, works as a caretaker for a disabled elderly person and lives in poverty, she said.

Jasmine Jwa, a 21-year-old South Korean attending UVM and working as an intern at the Peace & Justice Center, said she hoped to take the knowledge acquired from the session back home. “Every country has these kinds of problems,” Jwa said. m

SWANTON, VERMONT, IS DAIRY COUNTRY. Travel down Swantonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Middle Road, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re surrounded by pasture. The driveways lead to farmhouses, barns and tall, silver silos.

But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another kind of silo here, too. Not far from town is a long, unmarked driveway, a little wider and straighter than the others. It leads to a pair of round-roofed, metal buildings called Quonset huts, which are partly obscured by a stand of trees and surrounded by a barbed-wire fence.

The plot belongs to the Chevalier Drilling Company. Near the Quonset huts, surrounded by Chevalierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trucks and cranes, are two massive, metal-rimmed blocks of concrete. Each weighs 45 tons. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually doors nearly half a century old. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re open. Beneath them is the underground silo they were built to protect. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flooded, but the owners have pumped out enough water to expose a couple stories of discolored steel infrastructure. It resembles the inside of a raised shipwreck.

If you had peered down this shaft in the early 1960s, you would have been staring at the tip of a nuclear missile. Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles have been in the news recently, thanks to the atomic ambitions of North Korea and Iran. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget that Vermont and New York were once on the front lines of the arms race.

In the 1960s, the Army Corps of Engineers constructed 12 ICBM sites in a ring around the Air Force base in Plattsburgh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two in Vermont, 10 in New York. The military was scrambling to counter the nuclear threat from the Soviet Union, and they spared no expense. Each site cost between $14 and $18 million to build, and could withstand a direct nuclear attack.

Several workers died during the construction.

These Atlas F launch sites were some of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first underground silos, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still the only U.S. missile bases ever constructed east of the Mississippi River. They had a short shelf life, active only from the fall of 1962 until the spring of 1965 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but they left a lasting impression on the landscape. Now, instead of weapons, they hold strange tales of accidental death, contamination and good, old-fashioned American ingenuity.

military and non-military websites describe the launch sites: Each included two Quonset huts, a utility shed and an antenna that could detect a nuclear attack up to 30 miles away.

The silo itself, 52 feet wide and 174 feet deep, was underground, encased in a shell of â&#x20AC;&#x153;super-hardenedâ&#x20AC;? concrete. It held an 81-foot-tall missile capable of being raised above ground and fired within 15 minutes. The eight-level steel infrastructure that held the missile and its equipment was suspended in the concrete shell by four giant springs to withstand the shock waves associated with a nuclear attack. It was an engineering marvel.

The silo was joined by tunnel to a two-story underground launch control center (LCC), where a five-person crew maintained the missile and awaited orders to fire. The missileers traveled from the outside world to the LCC via a staircase protected by two enormous blast doors and sheltered by an angular concrete structure. Today these structures, and the candy-cane-shaped vent pipes that accompany them, hint at whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s below.

The crews belonged to the 556th Strategic Missile Squadron based in Plattsburgh. Richard Somerset of Essex Junction served as an Airman 2nd with the 556th. He remembers his unit as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the elite of the elite.â&#x20AC;? He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a very proud time in my life,â&#x20AC;?

The crews were at the sites â&#x20AC;&#x2122;round the clock, maintaining the missiles and participating in drills. Somerset remembers traveling to the base in Lewis, New York, in the morning on duty days, and passing through two security checkpoints before entering the LCC. He remembers receiving a practice message that he first thought was a command to fire the missile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hair on the back of my head just went straight up,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a strange, strange sensation.â&#x20AC;?

Melvin Driskill, who served as a first lieutenant, remembers being on alert at the Swanton site during the first night of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. The military had rushed to get the North Country silos armed, and Somerset reports that on that night, three of these silos, including his, had combat-ready missiles; according to 556th records, by the time the crisis ended 14 days later, the rest of the silos had been armed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had to push that button,â&#x20AC;? says Driskill, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the sucker would have gone.â&#x20AC;?

But as many of the folks who live near the sites will tell you, changes in fuel technology made the Atlas F missile bases more or less obsolete when they were built â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hence their short life span. Locals even question whether the missiles would have been able to lift off the ground, much less hit their targets, something the missileers tend to dispute.

In any case, the government decommissioned the bases in 1965, as quickly as they were built.

Many of them were looted for scrap. Ownership reverted to the towns, and some were eventually sold to private investors. A few of them have been contaminated with TCE, a degreasing compound. All of them flooded to some degree.

Interest in the properties has picked up in recent years, thanks to homesteaders like Edward Peden, who have turned former missile sites into residences. Through his Kansas-based company 20th Century Silos, Peden has sold 36 silos to buyers looking for a unique home, or even for a secure data-storage facility. He calls the structures â&#x20AC;&#x153;counterparts to the castles of Europe.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These sites are going to exist for centuries,â&#x20AC;?

Peden says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be worth is incalculable.â&#x20AC;?

Touring these unique, taxpayer-funded sites makes for an interesting trip through the North Country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a journey that explores our complicated relationship with the arms race, and introduces a set of colorful visionaries interested in taking advantage of it.

Site 1 is on Missile Base Road in Champlain, a quarter-mile south of the Canadian border. It passed through the hands of various manufacturers until last fall, when Gerald “Fitz” Fitzpatrick bought the 8-acre site on eBay for $175,000. He plans to clean it up and live in the remaining Quonset hut, and possibly in the launch control center.

The wiry 50-year-old is a former Peace Corps volunteer who’s worked for the past decade for the International Committee of the Red Cross, setting up prosthetic and orthopedic workshops for amputees in war-torn countries.

He just finished a 14-month stint in Ethiopia, and arrived at the missile site two weeks ago.

Fitzpatrick bought it because he was tired of coming home to his folks’ house in Ohio. “I needed my own place,” he says. But why a missile site? “It was just something unique,” he replies. “It could have been an old church. I was looking for a renovation challenge.”

He found one. In the hut the concrete floor is cracked and covered with miscellaneous piles of supplies. Torn insulation panels dangle from the ceiling. The electricity is on, but the water is not.

Fitzpatrick is currently living in a van inside the hut, drinking bot-

Chevalier says the company chose the location for its industrial appeal — the paved road, electricity, the Quonset huts. Pointing to the open missile silo, he adds, “This was kind of a bonus.” When business is slow, their workers salvage steel from the silo and sell it.

Chevalier says they’ve already taken out “a lot.” That’s why the doors are open.

This silo is actually the only one of the 12 that’s exposed to the elements. Missile buffs say these doors may also be the only ones

A historical marker outside the Alburgh visitors’ center on Route 2 announces this missile site. Travel ambassador Jennifer Theoret says many visitors are “shocked and amazed” when they read the sign. “One man said, ‘Oh, that’s completely SWANTON, VT inappropriate because JULY 26, 1962 this is Vermont,’” she recalls.

The silo itself is located about half a mile away, on “Missle Base Road.” Yes, it’s misspelled on the sign.

The Quonset huts are visible behind the tourist center.

Alburgh uses the site to store vehicles, equipment, and some old 55-gallon drums. A rusting pile of junk sits on top of the closed silo bay doors. The silo and the LCC are flooded.

But the concrete shelter that houses the stairwell is not uninhabited — several birds dart out from their nest, agitated, when a visitor approaches. with the hydraulic opening-andclosing mechanisms intact. v Site 3:

Swanton, VT The Chevalier Drilling Company has owned this base for about 30 years, according to Mark Chevalier, who runs the company with his siblings. The Chevaliers drill wells, and the site is strewn with their machinery.

tled water and showering at a nearby health club. “I call it urban camping,” he says.

But if the hut is in rough shape, the LCC looks worse.

Fitzpatrick straps on a pair of hip waders and a headlamp to explore it. The door that leads down the stairs is rusted shut; he climbs in through an empty window frame.

Though most of the LCC is dry, a knee-deep pocket of water stands at the base of the stairs.

Fitzpatrick says it’s not contaminated, as far as he knows.

Past the rusting blast doors, rickety metal stairs lead to the LCC. A little natural light shines in from the open escape hatch on the first level. Using his flashlight, Fitzpatrick points out the former living area, kitchen and bathroom, which have been completely stripped. He proceeds carefully from the LCC through the tunnel to the silo itself. The blast door lies on the floor. He steps over it and onto the metal grates of the silo’s second level, avoiding mushy piles of what looks like insulation.

No natural light penetrates this chamber. The flashlight beams illuminate the brownish metal, the mist of breath and the pool of greenish water. The only sound is intermittent dripping.

Fitzpatrick says he isn’t sure what he plans to do with the silo.

there and built an apartment for himself in one of the huts.

When a skiing accident left him unable to walk, Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Esperance founded Atlas Picture Framing, and an arts center with a gallery in a hallway between the huts.

Before the start of the Iraq war, antiwar activists rallied at the site and formed a human peace symbol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to actually build a huge dummy missile with anti-Bush things on it and then torch it,â&#x20AC;? Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Esperance says.

He toyed with the idea of raising money for a museum. A historian once researched the site, and found that two workers had died there; seven had been disabled. Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Esperance also considered turning the silo into an amusement park, with a ride that would test whether visitors would actually push the button. But these days Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Esperance, 48, is more interested in selling his silo than in developing it. A neighbor has offered $425,000, and negotiations are under way.

Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Esperance reflects fondly on his tenure at the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve transformed it into something positive,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From arms to art seems kind of nice.â&#x20AC;?

ALEXANDER MICHAEL

v Site 5: Lewis, NY The Lewis site is the most impressively restored. Australian architect Alexander Michael bought it in 1996 for $160,000, and has turned the LCC into a stylish apartment full of Cold War campiness. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chronicled the process on his website, www.siloboy.com.

Why would he want to live in an underground missile facility? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t?â&#x20AC;? asks the cheeky Aussie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cool factor is just unbelievable.â&#x20AC;? Michael spends six weeks each year on the property.

During his recent spring stay, he hosted a camera crew from Home and Garden TV. Above ground, Michael has planted trees and is planning a pond. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kept the launch doors open, but covered the silo with metal sheets, surrounding it with a solid-silver railing, and painted the escape hatch with an arresting black-and-red design.

Michael has done more extensive work below ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what they call the entrapment vestibule,â&#x20AC;? he explains as he steps past the first heavy blast door, which can still swing on its hinges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sounds like an S&M lounge.â&#x20AC;?

Michael has affixed black-andyellow tape around the doors to the LCC, and has covered the stairs in orange tread. The orange theme continues in his living >> 36A

The walls of his bedroom downstairs are also orange.

He prefers it to the original â&#x20AC;&#x153;rather awful green,â&#x20AC;?

Michael says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orange has real impact, lightness, real depth of hue.â&#x20AC;?

It took seven years to complete work on the LCC, which includes a bathroom and kitchen, complete with its original sinks and soap dispensers. But the apartmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most intriguing feature is in Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom downstairs. Perched on the black carpet in front of a black dressing screen is the original missile launch console â&#x20AC;&#x201D; minus the launch button, which was stolen.

At Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th birthday party seven years ago, the drag queen Pennsylvania stood on the launch console and lip-synched to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major Tom,â&#x20AC;? Michael says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can still see the dent in the metal from her stiletto heels.â&#x20AC;?

The final stop on the tour is the silo itself, which Michael has not yet restored. He hopes to interest a business partner in making this a dance club with a PHOTO: CATHY RESMER

This missile site earned a write-up in The New York Times in 2002, when owners Gregory Gibbons and Bruce Francisco tried to sell it on eBay. Apparently, the $2 million-plus asking price was too steep â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the property is still on the market.

Gibbons bought the property in the early 1990s for $55,000. He pumped out the flooded silo, converted the LCC into an upscale apartment, and built a house nearby. He worked with his cousin to build a home atop the silo itself, which connects to the LCC via an inside staircase. Pictures of the interior are available on the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, silohome.com.

The site is also distinguished by a small airstrip that was once the siloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driveway. The cousins have paved over the launch doors, but cracks in the asphalt reveal their location.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to find a buyer interested in building an industrial park. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking for more than $300,000.

The septuagenarian has never been down the stairs into the LCC. The staircase, embedded into a hill near the closed launch doors, is filled with dirt. Danielle says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even curious about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s below. He bought this land because of what he can see â&#x20AC;&#x201D; besides the brokendown white minivan and piles of trash left by a squatter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing that convinced me on this property was this road and those power lines,â&#x20AC;? he says.

And the cousins are not keen on having visitors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their website never identifies the number or precise location of the site. Still, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to find. A trip to a bar on Route 3 near Redford revealed that locals call it Cherry Hill. A guy in a black Harley bandana even offered detailed directions.

v Site 9: Dannemora, NY Site 9 is now the headquarters for the Town of Dannemoraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highway Department. Both Quonset huts are still standing, used for storage. The candy-cane vent pipe has been dismantled; the escape hatch is full of wild daisies. The silo doors are closed; a Caterpillar pavement grader called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beastâ&#x20AC;? is parked on top.

Superintendent Peter Barber says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hauled out three 44-foot trailers of trash since he took office.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been down to the silo or the LCC, both of which are flooded; a mound of dirt blocks the stairwell door. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to capitalize on the historical nature of the site.

Barber remembers driving past it years ago and seeing the missile towering above ground. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to recreate that experience for tourists. He muses about taking two of the 10-foot metal culverts lying in the grass, standing them end on end, and topping them off with a nose cone. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d paint â&#x20AC;&#x153;Town of Dannemoraâ&#x20AC;? down the side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they come down the mountain,â&#x20AC;? he enthuses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to see it sticking out of the ground.â&#x20AC;?

and his family live in the Quonset hut that remains on the site.

Casey, a stocky North Country native, bought the property for $22,000 in 1988. He thought it would make an ideal transfer station for his rock and firewood retailing business, Sticks and Stones.

In 1989, he began turning the Quonset hut into the home he now shares with his wife and their five daughters. Today it boasts seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, a living room and an exercise room with a hot tub; a sauna is on the way. Casey is working on a downstairs library with a floor-to-ceiling stone fountain.

His business is still based here, too. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d moved some of his inventory into the second Quonset hut, but it burned down years ago.

The rest of the site looks much like the others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; concrete stairwell, escape hatch, closed launch doors. Everything below ground is flooded. Casey pumps it out occasionally. He says he would have liked to live in the LCC, but his wife wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My wife says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a mole, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not living in a hole,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he explains.

Now, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is home.â&#x20AC;?

v Site 11: Ellenburg Depot, NY Leonard Casey bought this site for $10,600 at an auction in the 1990s and stored rocks and firewood there. But the site looks abandoned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a wasp-infested trailer sits next to the empty Quonset huts.

Now Casey is selling it to a Vermonter who wants to drain the LCC and turn it into an underground home. He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say how much heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making on the deal but calls it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good profit.â&#x20AC;?

Casey had intended to buy all of the North Country silos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someday my intention was to sell â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em back to the government,â&#x20AC;? he says. But the niche silo-home market took off too fast and priced him out.

Casey picked up the Ellenburg Depot site after the town decided to unload it. Town Clerk Thelma LaBombard says the town bought it from the government in 1967.

Sing, Sing Theater reviews: Cookin’ at the Cookery and The Pirates of Penzance

io-musicals have been a hot trend in American theater recently. Big-budget Broadway shows such as Mamma Mia and Jersey Boys emphasize flashy production numbers, using biographical STORY material primarily to connect the pop ELISABETH music hits. But Cookin’ at the Cookery is CREAN a much more compelling gem. Even more than the delightful singing and Cookin’ at the swinging, the moving and memorable Cookery, directed story of forgotten blueswoman Alberta

by Marion J. Caffey, produced Hunter drives the show.

The The Pirates of result was an exceptionally polished proPenzance, directed duction, even on opening night, that put

St. Michael’s And what a story it is. Like most Playhouse.

McCarthy Arts blues performers, Alberta Hunter Center Theater, (1895-1984) got a rough start in life, Colchester. June 28 running away from her Memphis home - July 2, Wednesday-Saturday at at age 15. She worked menial jobs in 8 p.m.; matinees Chicago while trying to get singing gigs Saturday and at nightclubs. She had to lie about her Sunday at 2 p.m. age and claw her way up from danger$29.50 ($22.50 ous dives to the big time: the Dreammatinees). land Café, where she sang with King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band.

Her career took off from there. She began recording and writing songs, and collaborated with other up-and-comers such as Bessie Smith and a kid from New Orleans named Louis Armstrong. Stints in vaudeville and on Broadway followed.

Racism flourished during the Depression and, like many black American entertainers, Hunter went to Europe, where she performed opposite Paul Robeson in a London production of Show Boat.

B

Hunter returned home when war broke out in Europe. Although she toured frequently with the USO during WWII and the Korean War, her singing career slowly dried up in the 1950s. Rather than take a humiliating role as a servant in a Broadway show, she retired from performing and embarked on a second career. At 59, she subtracted 12 years from her age and applied to nursing school. Twentythree years later, a New York hospital reluctantly asked the beloved nurse to retire at age 70 — five years past their mandatory retirement age of 65. She was angry because she didn’t want to stop working. And she was actually 82!

A phone call shortly thereafter precipitated her singing career comeback. It started with a two-week engagement at a Greenwich Village club called The Cookery that became a sensation. Her success there led to world tours, new recordings, television appearances and a performance at the White House for President Jimmy Carter. Hunter continued to sing even as her health deteriorated — fortified by an ever-present mug of Coke and the warming glow of the stage lights — until she died at age 89.

This pivotal phone call kicks off the action of Cookin’ at the Cookery. Two actresses, playing Alberta and Young Alberta, flash back through her life story. They also play all the other characters, such as club owners, record producers, Alberta’s mother and Louis Armstrong. A four-piece jazz combo, onstage throughout the show, accompanies the songs and also underscores spoken dialogue with instrumental music.

Ernestine Jackson played the adult Alberta and her mother with glorious grace and charm. Wearing an elegant, red-silk dress, with her hair pulled up in a sleek, gray topknot, Jackson became Alberta: feisty, effervescent, saucy, loving, wistful and smart. She made it feel as if it was Alberta herself — not an

actress — telling her story. She distinguished well between her two principal characters. The mother’s demeanor was more refined, her emotions more controlled; Alberta was dignified, but also had an earthy and irreverent edge.

As Young Alberta and a bevy of other characters, Janice Lorraine shone with versatility and comic energy. Her role required radical transformations, from Alberta as a simple child singing “Jesus Loves Me” to a middle-aged daughter grieving her mother’s death. Her other portrayals inspired the show’s biggest belly laughs, especially her hysterically funny characterization of Louis Armstrong. Singing a duet of “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?” with Jackson, Lorraine captured Satchmo’s trademark gravelly voice and unmistakable mannerisms: the toothy smile, strangely thrusting chest and peculiar way of holding his trumpet.

Both Jackson and Lorraine sang beautifully. Jackson’s voice was rich and soulful; like great singers in any genre, she brought the music up from the ground through her feet. Lorraine had a throaty, expressive vocal quality, and plenty of fun-loving dance moves to accentuate her performance. The band seamlessly supported the singers, as did all of the show’s technical elements.

Scenic, costume, lighting and sound design all featured creative flourishes that enhanced the production without overwhelming the storytelling.

Caffey’s well-told narrative remains the foundation for these terrific performances. The script is full of delicious lines, such as Alberta’s description of the Dreamland: “That place was so swanky, if you asked for a beer, they thought you wanted to wash your hair.” The wit and verve of the show convey the humor and vitality of Alberta Hunter. After seeing Cookin’ at the Cookery, you’ll probably add this dynamic blueswoman to the list of people you wish you’d met.

Thanks to Jackson, Lorraine and Caffey, you can cheat a bit, and pretend you actually did.

Blood pressure? Pulse? Respiration?

Failure to enjoy the zany zest of The Pirates of Penzance is cause to check those vital signs — you may be in a coma. The comic operetta about notso-cutthroat swashbucklers scored an immediate hit for librettist William Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan when it premiered in 1879. Witty lyrics and hummable tunes have kept Pirates in play ever since, from families singing around the living room to full-scale professional productions.

St. Michael’s Playhouse opened its summer season with a new, Broadwayinfluenced version of the buccaneers’ tale. Directed and choreographed by Keith Andrews, it featured mostly seaworthy performances and a frigate-full of fun, but ran slightly aground on some curious “modernizing” of the original score.

Questions of honor and obligation lead characters to wrestle with ethical dilemmas in Penzance — the play’s subtitle is The Slave of Duty — and it’s a hilarious conceit given piracy’s reputation for ruthlessness and amorality.

Young Frederic — mistakenly apprenticed to pi-rates instead of pi-lots by his hard-of-hearing nurse — is about to be released from his indentures on his 21st birthday. Once free, he feels morally bound to take up arms against his former comrades, even though they have failed to make privateering pay because they won’t plunder ships manned by orphans. Every ship they encounter seems to be steered by parentless sailors.

Frederic’s leap-year birthday later leads to confusion over when his piratical obligations actually end. Complicating matters are the seven lovely daughters of Major-General Stanley, who stumble onto the pirates’ rocky cove.

SEVEN DAYS | june 28-july 05, 2006 | feature 39A

Frederic falls immediately for Mabel, and assorted pirates make instant plans to marry the other six. The Major-General pulls the “orphan” excuse out of his plumed hat, but then spends the rest of the play wracked with guilt about lying to the salty sea-dogs to prevent them from pillaging his precious progeny.

Madcap musical mayhem ensues. Will Frederic fight with the force of English police — lily-livered Bobbies who prance about like Keystone Cossacks — assembled to combat the corsairs? Or will the leap-year hitch keep him allied to his old colleagues?

Gilbert and Sullivan provide enough implausible plot pirouettes, delightfully delineated in song, to guarantee the requisite happy ending.

Phoning in a performance is not an option with Gilbert and Sullivan. The large cast of pirates, cops and daughters maintained a high level of ebullient energy while highstepping, harmonizing and hamming it up for the two-plus hours of the show. Bill Carmichael, as the deliciously daft MajorGeneral, provided the evening’s highlight with a spot-on rendition of his character’s signature song. “The Very Model of a

corsets, bustles, petticoats and pantalets.

Major-General Stanley was a vision of lateVictorian pomposity, his deep red jacket bedecked in gold braid, trim and sashing.

Ann Bartek’s simple, elegant sets — a stone-strewn cove and the craggy Gothic ruins of Stanley’s recently-purchased ancestral home — gave the actors ample room for their antics, especially for Andrews’ big funloving dance numbers. The only technical hiccups were persistent minor problems with the sound system, which should have been fully ironed out by Thursday night’s performance — the third night of the run.

The wireless microphones jarred the audience with occasional episodes of feedback and popping. Even more problematic were the uneven amplification levels, obviously being adjusted from a soundboard during individual songs. (Sciotto was usually undermiked, which hurt his performance.) This acoustic inconsistency was particularly distracting because the show’s arch humor and whipsaw plot twists unfold, often at a breathtaking pace, in Gilbert’s intricate lyrics.

The artistic hitch to the production — and it’s a big one — is how Pirates “has been re-scored for a fresh, exciting contem-

Modern Major-General” is chockablock with Gilbert’s tongue-twisting rhymes, such as “Babylonic cuneiform/ . . . Caractacus’s uniform,” which Carmichael carried off to sidesplitting effect.

Also entertaining was John Patrick Hayden as the Pirate King, a swashbuckler with a sensitive side. He struck just the right balance between playing it straight and reveling in the self-conscious silliness, and sang with a smooth, strong baritone voice. Tenor Eric Sciotto brought polished and powerful singing chops to the role of Frederic, and his stage presence was undeniably suave and sexy. But his constant hair flipping and evermoving feet made for a fidgety performance, which occasionally veered into matinee-idol camp.

A trio of women stood out: soaring soprano Jennifer Babiak as Mabel; animated alto Charlotte Munson as her sister Edith; and comic goddess Kathryn Markey as the lusty Nurse. The women were well served by costume designer Linda E. Kelley, who clad the two dozen cast members brilliantly. The daughters sported summery pastel confections, with the appropriate array of period

porary Broadway sound by Paul J. Ascenzo,” as a breathless St. Mike’s press release puts it. Ascenzo’s “additional arrangements and orchestrations” awkwardly graft a modern pop sensibility onto some numbers by going for cheap laughs (adding a few bars of striptease music, for example) or souping up the emotional ending of a love song.

Gilbert and Sullivan’s tunes need to be Andrew Lloyd Webber-ized like a Mozart opera needs to be Muzak-ed: It’s entirely unnecessary and aesthetically offensive.

Contemporary painters aren’t allowed to bring their oils and brushes into the Louvre to “freshen up” dull patches on the Old Masters. When Dada artist Marcel Duchamp painted a mustache on the Mona Lisa (a reproduction, not the original!), he called the ensuing work a Duchamp, not a da Vinci.

If Ascenzo wants to write a Broadway musical, then he should do so — clearly he has mastered some of the pop show-tune clichés. Phantom of Les Cats in Saigon, perhaps? But he should stop ransacking Gilbert and Sullivan’s treasure chest, and let audiences revel in the pure delights of an unpillaged Pirates. m

irls, and perhaps adult women, too, love Cinderella stories. For all the well-meaning feminist efforts to debunk the myth of 6/27/06 10:22:12 AM pumpkins and Prince Charming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reborn in some form in every generation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chick STORY lit,â&#x20AC;? one of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-selling genres, often MARGOT reads like a combination of Jane Austenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HARRISON sharp-eyed social satire and Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide-eyed belief in romance.

258 pages, $16.

Or the speedway. In The Outside Groove, the third young adult novel by Burlington writer and Seven Days contributor Erik Esckilsen, the unlikely Cinderella is Casey LaPlante, a bright girl with a serious chip on 5/19/06 3:32:53 PM her shoulder. Though she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forced to sweep and toil, Casey is consistently ignored by her family in favor of its one ruling passion: stock car racing.

Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Wade is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Demonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Run Raceway defending track champion at the young age of 20â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; following in the tire tracks of his dad, who almost made it to the national circuit. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a celebrity in

narrator Casey acerbically puts it. (Situated

Girls 2 Women Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an odd but intriguing motivation for a sports novel: Casey initially races out of sheer pigheadedness, to show her family and the other naysayers that it can be done.

(Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first female on the track, even in the comparatively tame four-cylinder â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road Warriorsâ&#x20AC;? division.) Her â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairy godmotherâ&#x20AC;? is her Uncle Harvey, who used to be her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew chief. Now estranged from the family, he still knows how to craft a mean ride from spare parts. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;gleaming Thundermaker car painted forest green with gold trimâ&#x20AC;? that he eventually makes for Casey is a coach if there ever was one.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a conventional romantic subplot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Casey does find the dress and a date for the prom. But The Outside Groove is really all about the racing. When she first hits the track, Casey doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even consider racing a sport, let alone a challenge: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;basically four left turns, then four more, then four more . . .â&#x20AC;? Naturally, she finds out itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that simple.

Esckilsen does a good job shepherding the reader through the science and terminology of racing; by the end, even the terminally NASCAR-averse will be feeling the thrill of speed. He also conveys the complexity of Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivations. Even as she gains a real love of racing, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still nursing a grudge against her golden-boy brother and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s macho racing cult, and her attitude leaves her room to mature.

It also makes her an entertaining narrator, with a voice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breezy, slangy and self-aware. Describing her crush on Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pit-crew chief, Casey says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that sounds pathetic and girly, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to deny it.â&#x20AC;? Whether sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referring to the weeks before prom as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Days of Shriekingâ&#x20AC;? or mocking her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s indulgence of that â&#x20AC;&#x153;impish jokester, manchild Wade,â&#x20AC;? Casey is a fine conduit for Esckilsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comic voice.

Perhaps sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit too articulate and selfconfident for a teenaged girl in the age of Raising Ophelia. Likewise, the small-town tough dames who become Caseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pit crew and lend her a dose of girl power are great fun, but one has to wonder why they imme>> 42A

Extravaganza” isn’t exactly a typical female coming-of-age ritual. Sister Chicas, by contrast, pivots around a traditional fixture of Latina culture: the Quinceañera, or formal “sweet 15” party, which marks a girl’s transition to womanhood. It’s about as close to a Cinderella ball as you can get these days, complete with frou-frou dresses and male escorts who are known as caballeros, or “knights.”

Sister Chicas is the joint production of three women who met at Vermont College. One of them, Ann Hagman Cardinal, lives in Morrisville; she’s the national marketing director for Union Institute and University and a Vermont Woman columnist. Artist/poet Lisa Alvarado lives in Chicago, where the novel is set, and poet Jane Alberdeston Coralin is a doctoral student in Binghamton, New York. The authors have received national media attention for their savvy pitch to a publisher seeking novels about young Latinas, their defiance of cultural stereotypes and their unusual collaboration.

Three young women take turns narrating the novel in longish chapters, and each is voiced by one of the authors.

Though the girls are friends — even spiritual “sisters,” as the title suggests — each has a distinct background and her own set of coming-of-age dilemmas.

Graciela, voiced by Alvarado, is a college student so determined to be a perfect daughter and a role model that she sometimes has a hard time remembering what she wants for herself. The daughter of highly educated, hard-working Mexican immigrants, she’s acutely aware of her role as an exemplar of la cultura.

Leni, the creation of Cardinal, plays the “bad girl” to Graciela’s incipient saint, swaggering the halls of her high school sporting safety-pinned gear and spiky hair. Half Puerto Rican and half Irish — she shortened her name from Elena — Leni finds her roots in The Ramones and The Clash rather than in her father’s culture, from which his early death alienated her. “A punk rock Puertoriqueña?” she snipes. “I don’t think so.”

Coralin’s Taina is the youngest and most vulnerable narrator. She’s also the novel’s Cinderella — the one on whom the elaborate Quinceañera is inflicted by her prim, overprotective mother. Raised in Puerto Rico, Taina is strongly conscious of how race and class intersect: Her mother’s family

Terror are resolutely old-school.

Inspired by genre stalwarts the Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front, they eschew the flashiness of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy acts in favor of brutal guitars and blue-collar lyrics. Relentless road dogs, they invade the Higher Ground Ballroom this Friday for an all-ages smackdown that also features Through the Eyes of the Dead, Death Before Dishonor, Rise to Fight and Compassion Forsworn.

sound bites

BY CASEY REA

WHILE I’M AWAY . . .

By the time you read this, I’ll be waltzing through San Francisco looking for vegan eats and evidence of the much-ballyhooed West Coast freak-folk scene. So I’ve decided to fill you in on a few things I’ll be missing. But please — if you see something exceptionally cool, try not to rub it in.

The Higher Ground Showcase Lounge plays host to a handful of rock bands on Friday, June 30 — all of ’em with B-town roots. Well, Fire the Cannons are actually from Burlington, and you can’t get more rooted than that. But rough-edged road dogs Pilot to Gunner call Brooklyn home, while emo-fueled Never Only Once are Boston-based.

The latter band’s mix of melodic rock and hardcore was ahead of its time when they rocked the Queen City back in the ’90s. These days, there are countless MySpace bands hawking the very same sound. NOO were on their way up when they suddenly vanished from the scene. A couple members carried on as The Faithful, who released one album. Now that they’ve reclaimed their old name, they’re again gathering steam.

Pilot to Gunner have strong ties to Burlington as well. A decade or so ago, three of the four members played with local indie-pop impresario Colin Clary in a fun little band called the Madelines.

After splitting town, the dudes upped the rock quotient considerably.

Portland, Oregon-based imprint Arena Rock Recording Co. took notice and released the band’s latest album, Get Saved, in 2004.

I have no idea what’s going on with FTC these days. Singer/guitarist Marie Claire has been honky-tonkin’ with Ramble Dove at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo festival, and for some reason, bassist/vocalist Shawn Flannigan has been hard to reach. Let me know if they’ve gone reggae.

Also at Higher Ground is an encore performance of Hedwig and the

Angry Inch, which stars the irrepressible Robert Toms in the titular role. You can catch it in the Showcase Lounge on July 1.

ful experience,” he writes on his website, www.RyanPower.org.

Green Mountain space-rockers The Cush just got back from Texas, where members Chris Brodie and Gabrielle and Burette Douglass once lived. They headed back to celebrate the re-release of their latest disc, New Appreciation for Sunshine, on Undertow Records. One gig was at Good Records, a Dallas music shop owned by Polyphonic Spree’s Tim Delaughter, who is both an old friend and a fan.

Apparently, it was Cush drummer Steve Hadeka’s first trip to the Lone Star State. Before they left, Brodie promised to “show him what Mexican food, honky-tonkin’ and BBQ is really about.” Hope he recovers before their Friday, June 30, gig at Winooski’s Monkey House.

With so many shows to see, you won’t even notice I’m gone.

EXIT STAGE LEFT Not long ago, I received an email from Randy Smith, who fronted hard-rock/pop legends 8084 for nearly two decades. In it, he reveals he is no longer performing with the group.

“The decision to leave was made for many reasons,” writes Smith.

“But bad blood is not one of them.” A press release from the band WILL PATTON refutes the idea of a breakup. “The search for an ideal replacement is underway,” it reads. The announcement also has kind words for the departing vocalist, stating, “Randy is our brother, and will be sorely missed.”

Smith will continue to work as the band’s official webmaster, further illustrating the gang’s amicability. But he’ll be doing so from a distance, as he and his family are relocating to North Carolina.

Just because he’s no longer with 8084 doesn’t mean Smith is giving up songwriting. “I am not retiring from music,” he says. “I’ve merely chosen to move along in a different direction.”

It’s definitely the end of an era. Keep your eyes on www.8084.com for news on Smith’s successor.

NEW BAND ALERT! PILOT TO GUNNER a local theater fan, chances are you’ve already seen the production.

But I encourage rockers to attend, as the backup band is killer, the music glam-tastic.

Radio Bean owner/Cccome? front man Lee Anderson has gathered an eclectic crew to perform at Burlington’s 1/2 Lounge on June 29. In addition to Anderson’s aforementioned “dirge-blues” band, the show features The Mountain Wizards and two underground hip-hoppers: Tableek, who hails from the Bronx, and Chicago’s Earatik Statik. It’ll no doubt be cool to watch the mike masters kick it on 1/2’s tiny stage.

Burlington’s gifted indie songwriter Ryan Power has re-christened his band The Prons. They’ll be performing at Montpelier’s Langdon St. Café on Friday, June 30. Power also recently assisted fellow songsmith Rob Voland in completing his forthcoming solo disc. “It was a beauti-

Yep, I found yet another cool group to tell you about. They’re called the New Siberians, and they rock in a satisfyingly unpretentious way.

The band is composed of three Vermont scene vets, including bassist vocalist Tad Pappadopoulos, guitarist/vocalist Brendan Devitt and drummer Simon Plumpton. Pappadopoulos logged time with Go to Blazes, Devitt was a member of Burlington/L.A. legends Ninja Custodian, and Plumpton has played with, well, everybody.

So what do they sound like? Kind of like a hybrid of The Replacements, Hüsker Dü and Velvet Underground. Their tune “1965” features awesome backwards guitar, Big Star-inspired vocals and a chugging, Sonic Youth-style rhythm section. Wow, I just named, like, five bands in a single paragraph! Anyway, I could easily see it becoming my summer theme song. Hear for yourself at: www.myspace.com/TheNewSiberians.

The band is currently busy recording its debut, but will take some time out for a live performance at Breakwater Café on Friday, June 30.

Special guests include Ninja Custodian axeman Magoo, as well as Motel Brown’s Steve Dias, who will supposedly perform a Black Sabbath tune. Boy, did I pick the wrong week to take a vacation! m

reviewthis THE JAZZ GUYS, BLESSING IN DISGUISE

THE EAMES BROTHERS BAND, OPEN ROAD

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be hard-pressed to find a harder working act than Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eames Brothers Band. The quartet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which features two honest-to-goodness siblings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; constantly performs at venues throughout the Green Mountains. EBBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original blues tunes are remarkably soulful, which no doubt contributes to their demand. Their debut, Open Road, is chock-full of dextrous musicianship and authentic emotion.

Full disclosure: I think most modern blues sucks. Over the years, the genre has been bled dry by soulless hacks using its no-frills arrangements as a crutch for their own lack of imagination. This is hardly the case with the Eames Brothers, however. These dudes have passion, chops and an abundance of flavor.

The Eamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music is rooted in tradition, from sparse Delta blues to stinging electric shuffles. But ultimately their moody, dynamic tunes have a vibe all their own. The chord progressions are familiar, yet everything sounds remarkably fresh.

The disc opens with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gonna Stay Up All Night,â&#x20AC;? which has a yearning, romantic tone. Here, singer/guitarist Seth Eames channels Randy Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s languid vocal style. Musically, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bare-bones, with ragtime-style picking framed by Michael Owensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gentle percussion and Ralph Eamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; understated bass line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waitinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by the Roadsideâ&#x20AC;? gives aching solitude a jazzy makeover, while â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Windâ&#x20AC;? has a slight Latin feel.

The title track is an especially tasty cut. Guest keyboardist Ray Paczkowski of Vorcza conjures swirling sounds from his organ; Owensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; percussion is fluid and in the pocket. Seth Eames serves up my favorite kind of lick: snaky and in a minor key. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another Roundâ&#x20AC;? features wonderful slide work and lyrics about boozinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and ramblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This is a blues band, after all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another round, another town, another lonely sun gone down,â&#x20AC;? Eames gruffly croons.

Interestingly, the mood seems to get lighter as the album progresses. Like clouds parting after a prolonged rainstorm, later tracks arouse elation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worried Blues,â&#x20AC;? despite its title, is one such example; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Homeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which features feisty organ from regular keyboardist Ron Rost â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earth Bluesâ&#x20AC;? is a slow, Chicago-style number that is likewise uplifting.

The album winds down with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indian Summer Blues,â&#x20AC;? which is as sultry as its title suggests. The tune would make excellent listening on those hot â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sticky evenings that are no doubt around the corner.

Open Road is a fantastic collection of original blues by a truly talented group. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss the CD release party on Friday, June 30, at Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Radio Bean.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something about those Jazz Guys. From their hilarious on-stage banter and zany home movies to their insanely catchy songs, the Burlington-based band always provides a good time. Now, at long last, their debut EP A Blessing in Disguise has arrived. While not as immediately impacting as their live shows, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint.

Despite their comedic leanings, The Jazz Guys play pure, undiluted rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. Imagine The Kinks and The MC5 in an alleyway rumble and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re partway there. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sterile rock wasteland, their spirited sound is downright refreshing.

Although each of the discâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six tunes employ similar musical elements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; airtight hooks, searing solos and infectious melodies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they never get boring. TJG aficionados will recognize most, if not all, of these tunes from the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numerous local performances. Still, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a marked difference in the overall energy level. The arrangements are tighter and the solos crisper, but a little of the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-stage mojo is missing.

Two songs that best make the transition from stage to CD are the lighthearted â&#x20AC;&#x153;The $6,000 Million Dollar Manâ&#x20AC;? and the uproarious â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social Stigmas.â&#x20AC;? On both numbers the group sounds plenty fired up, which makes me wonder why some of the others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit quite as hard.

Ultimately, the variations in intensity donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter much, as every single cut boasts strong pop sensibility, great guitar work and laugh-out-loud lyrics.

Speaking of lyrics, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare to find rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll wordplay that is both manic and meaningful. The Jazz Guys are masters of the craft, with tongue-in-cheek asides and double entendres spread like icing on an already tasty musical cake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time I saw his girlfriend, I thought she was really ugly / it must have been an off day / â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause the next time she was hot,â&#x20AC;? they sing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;$6,000 Million,â&#x20AC;? before tearing into yet another boisterous chorus.

In a live setting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes tough to discern what TJG are singing about. Now fans can follow every witticism, courtesy of the handy lyric sheet. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still undecided whether this is a total improvement; sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as fun to guess at what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying.

Blessing in Disguise is a more than satisfactory offering from a band on the rise. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a challenge to top such an anticipated debut, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they have it in them. If The Jazz Guys can somehow channel the pizzazz of their performances into their future studio work, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll no doubt continue to rock my socks off. modq-WOKO062106

T EXHIBIT Paintings by Alexandra Bottinelli, Susan Russell, Harriet Wood and Ann Young.

Artpath Gallery, Wing Building, Burlington.

Through July.

ARTWORK “Arches: Abstract 163”

by Susan Russell

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he Artpath Gallery is so named because it’s a long hallway in the Wing Building on Burlington’s waterfront. This summer, painters Alexandra Bottinelli, Susan Russell, Harriet Wood and Ann Young are exhibiting, and a stroll down the corridor reveals that each is on a somewhat different, though equally productive, path.

In Young’s artist statement, she confesses to “trying to learn as much as I can in a short time.” After a long career as a sculptor and ceramist, she has focused on painting for only about five years. Her landscapes are brilliantly executed. Two 36-by-40-inch oils — “Trees on Bald Mountain” and “Trees on Long Pond” — have layered planes of color receding deeply into space, and she draws branches and foliage with authority and grace. While Young’s figure drawing is problematic on a few of the canvases — the faces are stylized rather than naturalistic — the compositions are well designed.

Wood, who has shown internationally since the 1950s and was an associate of painter Willem de Kooning, has a distinctly personal approach to classic Abstract Expressionism. Her 28inch-square “Raptures, Passion & Delight” contains broad areas of hot colors — red, orange, plus yellow atmospherics — anchored by blues at the upper left and in both right corners. Those corners create a sense of clockwise movement. Sinewy white strokes and yellow-greens laid alongside the reds add depth to Wood’s picture plane. Thinner lines around the sides of the composition enhance the mass in the center. While these structural components are important, Wood’s use of color is what truly drives her paintings.

Bottinelli used to exhibit at Burlington’s Doll-Anstadt Gallery; though that venue has since closed, her works remain, still characterized by layers of collage and delicate veils

of color. “New York Times Revisited: Five Muses” is a 14-inch-square work on paper presenting mid-20th-century, styled images of females. These women, sporting Jackie Kennedy hairdos, are photocopied onto a torn sheet of paper that is stained sepia-red.

Bottinelli framed the collaged paper with an olive-green backing, which complements the earthy red.

here have simple compositions that don’t distract from those rich textures.

The 24-by-30-inch “Arches: Abstract 163” depicts faux masonry with cracked and burnt brick faces. Some of the bricks glow with a trompe l’oeil turquoise glaze. The arch around them is described with a fat, gilded line. Heavy gilding also appears in 24inch-square “Abstract 222.” Gold-dust

A stroll down the corridor reveals that each artist is on a somewhat different, though equally productive, path.

Her “Truth about El Mozote: Words of Mark Danner” is the only topical piece in the show. On two sheets of watercolor paper, Bottinelli stenciled an account by New York Times correspondent Mark Danner of the excavation of bones and forensic evidence verifying a massacre, perpetrated by American-backed contra forces in El Salvador during the early 1980s. The text, and the papers on which papers it appears, are appropriately dark and murky. Bottinelli scrawled a large “X” across the 36-by40-inch piece, perhaps indicating that the incident seems forgotten in America’s collective memory.

Russell’s personal aesthetic is defined by engaging her surfaces in a very tactile way, and her 14 paintings

stalagmites seem to be rising into a parchment-colored space.

Russell’s “Aerial View: Abstract 156” is a 24-inch-square abstraction with a jumbled band of textures extending from top to bottom. The image recalls agricultural fields as seen from 30,000 feet, but Russell has given the irregular geometric shapes surfaces like tooled leather. Near the lower right corner of the piece, an uncharacteristic, bright-red triangle contrasts with the ruddy browns and turquoise patches.

This gallery is adjacent to the Burlington Bike Path and near the King Street ferry dock. Whether one arrives by foot, bicycle, skates, boat or car, Artpath — at least in the summer — is on the beaten path. m

SIZE MATTERS

VCAM’s third exhibition curated by

Burlington artist Jane Horner definitely surpasses the first two — in scale, anyway. While the previous shows have been top quality, the hugeness of Horner’s selections — paintings by Maize Bausch, Kim Malloy, Lynn Rupe and Lois Whitmore — make them utterly unforgettable. VCAM is tucked behind the Flynndog at 208 Flynn Avenue in Burlington; these paintings, on display through September 1, are worth finding. Pictured: “Reema-Umba” by Maize Bausch.

+++++ Love Smoked Food

PHOTO: MYESHA GOSSELIN

This restaurant strives to deliver a different flavor than traditionally found in the backwoods of Vermont.

Smoked beef brisket hash, alligator, smoked venison, smoked gazpacho and, my favorite, smoked prime rib. Try the homemade hot sauce: excellent flavor and a nice spicy bite. The décor leaves something to be desired, and the seating lacks intimacy, but it’s a friendly place, so it can be fun to visit with the neighbors. Some booths would be nice. . .

Click HHH

I BUTTON MAN Sandler plays a stressed-out architect who presses his luck when he acquires a life-changing device.

enjoyed this movie, but have to admit there’s something a trifle disconcerting receiving life lessons from Adam Sandler. Directed by Frank (The Wedding Singer) Coraci and written by Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe — the team behind Bruce Almighty — Click is an update of It’s a Wonderful Life, an homage to Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and a commercial for Bed, Bath & Beyond all rolled into one.

Sandler plays an overworked architect who’s focused on making money for his wife and two young children when he really should be making time for them. This, of course, is one of those personality traits that can prove a character flaw only in works of fiction. In real life, husbands and wives are routinely overworked, and the people who make time for their children are the staff of the daycare centers at which they deposit them on the way to the office. Only in Hollywood could a faithful husband, loving father and good provider such as Sandler’s Michael Newman serve as the model for a mortal who’s ripe for a supernatural course correction.

At the start of the film, he’s flummoxed by the array of remote-control devices that have accumulated in his home.

He tries to turn on the TV and the overhead fan starts up.

Another sends a toy zooming across the room. Yet another opens the garage door. Fed up, he heads off to the land of the big boxes and finds himself passing the bed-and-bath sections in search of the “beyond.” Down a long hallway, behind a patented mad-scientist-style workbench, he finds — who else? — Christopher Walken.

Walken plays Morty, the mystical, metaphorical department’s Harpo-haired manager. After listening to Michael’s story, Morty declares that good guys deserve a break now and then, presents him with a device he explains is not yet on the market, and cautions that it cannot be returned.

Returning the magical contraption initially is the last thing Sandler’s character would dream of doing. One by one, he discovers amazing ways the universal remote makes it possible for him to literally control his universe. The dog barks while he works late at night; Sandler turns his volume down. An argument with his wife (Kate Beckinsale) begins; he fast-forwards to its end. His boss (David Hasselhoff) reneges on a big promotion; Sandler pauses the scene, leaps onto the creep’s desk, bends over and launches a massive gas attack an inch away from his face.

The problem is, the clicker comes with features he doesn’t realize it has until it’s too late. The thing possesses

SHORTS a TiVo-like ability to learn its owner’s habits and preferences. After the first time he fast-forwards through foreplay, the device sets itself to automatically repeat the process every time sex is initiated. The same thing happens after the first time he fast-forwards past an illness. Ditto with the first time he skips ahead to a bona fide promotion. The minutes, hours and days he misses this way add up with alarming swiftness, until it dawns on him that what he’s fast-forwarding through is, in fact, his life.

To be sure, the metaphysical dilemmas and paradoxes the film contemplates won’t leave anyone confusing Click with the work of Charlie Kaufman. At the same time, Koren and O’Keefe’s script does fiddle intriguingly with a number of head-scratching conundrums. You may wonder, for example, what happens to Michael and his family in real time while Michael is speed-shuttling past them to the future. The writers offer the explanation that the realtime Michael is an “automatic pilot” version of himself.

“You won’t be the life of the party,” Walken explains. He goes on to add that this Michael will talk, walk, eat and be physically present, though not fully engaged, in events around him.

It’s a rather apt description of a distracted or emotionally unavailable husband, and a logical explanation for why Michael’s marriage fails to stand the test of time travel. Like George Bailey and Ebenezer Scrooge, Michael Newman discovers too late that his pursuit of all he believes most valuable has cost him everything he values most. The makers of Click go those fables one darker, though, and give us Sandler’s character at the moment of his death doing the one thing in his power to redeem himself: warning his grown children not to follow in his footsteps.

Did I mention this is a comedy? Coraci does a commendable job of juggling the life-and-death verities and the fart jokes. Sandler is convincing when the tone turns tragic, and entertaining in an underplayed, relatively lowkey way, when it’s time to make with the funny business.

The laughs aren’t fall-out-of-your-seat big, but they’re often on the money, and there are lots of them.

Don’t get me wrong: Click is not about to take the place of Frank Capra’s beloved classic in the hearts and minds of moviegoers. It’s a minor entertainment. All the same, I think you’ll be surprised by what an alternately amusing and moving experience it offers. If I’d had one of those magic remotes in my hand as I watched, I’m not sure I would have changed a single thing. m

TWELVE AND HOLDING

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

All-Ages Shows Leonard’s hefty clan and the cringeinducing scenes of Malee trying to seduce a grown man. To drive home the movie’s pyrotechnic theme ad nauseam, the girl continually listens to “Burnin’ for You,” by Blue Oyster Cult, in her obsessive pursuit of Gus. Emotionally abandoned by their parents, these kids are not all right.

Cuesta’s hyper-real black comedy allows cheap laughs to subvert understanding and compassion for his troubled tweens.

At the same venue, an even younger demographic seems to be the target audience for a slate of free summer matinees. At 10:30 on Wednesday mornings, the Palace 9 is unspooling Hollywood family fare: July 5, Yours, Mine & Ours; July 12, Curious George; July 19, Nanny McPhee; July 26, Madagascar; August 2, Dreamer; and August 9, Cheaper by the Dozen.

Social and environmental concerns are the bailiwick of 14 young adults participating in the University of Vermont’s second annual Summer Integrated Media Studies Institute, a 5-week course that ends this week. A showcase of their short digital videos, including one or two works-inprogress, will take place at 5 p.m., Thursday, in the Billings Center’s CC Theater.

“After leaving the program, students will be able to handle film proj-

ects from start to finish,” says Lynn Gregory, an assistant professor in the community development and applied economics department. “They now know about framing a story and agendasetting.”

The initial agenda involved asking random strangers to explain why they love Burlington. Gregory’s colleague Thomas Gillespie, a visiting professor from the University of Indiana, says the on-camera exercise produced some interesting results.

“One guy shot in a room with a candle for lighting,” he notes. “We ended up looking at a black screen.”

The entire group eventually settled on ideas for longer projects. For his profile of Grace Potter, an emerging UVM filmmaker drove to Ohio because the Vermont singer didn’t have any current local gigs. The only fictional effort, which Gillespie has dubbed “Surfer Dudes,” is a mockumentary about a California guy who moves to the Green Mountain State “to become one with the wood” used in crafting old-fashioned surfboards.

The cinematic output includes docs about a recent New Hampshire motorcycle rally and a Queen City street musician with substance-abuse problems. “I suggested the student

view this man as if he’s Bob Dylan,” Gillespie recalls.

A five-person team looked at the controversial Farmer Protection Act, which Governor Jim Douglas vetoed in May. The bill would have held manufacturers of genetically modified seeds liable for any damages their products might cause.

This film was a bit of an inside job for 20-year-old Maryland resident Hilary Depman, a senior majoring in public communication. “I’m from a large Fairfield dairy farming family,” she acknowledges. “My aunt is Senator Sara Branon-Kittell (DFranklin County), chair of the agriculture committee. My grandfather and great-grandfather were also Vermont senators.”

Senior Meg Sullivan, 22, a political science major from Waterbury Center, learned how to maintain objectivity when covering a hot topic.

“The film has to be informational, not propaganda,” she points out. “It’s a challenge to keep our own biases in check.”

Depman says she’s undecided in the natural-versus-engineered debate: “I’m pretty torn, but everyone else is fairly opinionated on both sides of the issue.” m

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

CASABLANCA gets corny in the flashback to Paris.

It’s fair to say the BIBLE contains lots of mixed messages.

Everyone has their own way of eating OREO COOKIES. If someone runs over a SKUNK, everyone knows it.

The mother superior was in the habit of wearing a HABIT. FORM 1040 does not make for fascinating reading.

Of all the names for DICE games, craps is the strangest.

Stand by Me for the 21st century, Twelve and Holding may help explain why poltergeists often choose prepubescents for their otherworldly mischief: A child on the threshold of adolescence is a powder keg. Only one year older and it’s “thar she blows,” as Catherine Hardwicke made abundantly clear in 2003’s Thirteen. But at age 12, confusion, rebellion and feisty hormones are already festering.

The three pre-teen friends in Michael Cuesta’s sophomore feature, opening this weekend at Palace 9 in South Burlington, experience profound changes after a collective tragedy in their suburban community.

Rudy (Conor Donovan) is accidentally killed when local bullies torch his tree house in the woods to retaliate for an earlier encounter. The death fuels a family meltdown that torments Rudy’s twin brother Jacob (also Donovan), who wears a hockey mask to hide an enormous birthmark on his face.

Although overweight Leonard (Jesse Comacho) has survived the conflagration, his gluttonous parents are outraged by the boy’s sudden desire to exercise and eat nothing but apples.

Meanwhile, an enamored Malee (Zoe Weizenbaum) begins stalking Gus (Jeremy Renner), a depressed former firefighter being treated by her psychotherapist mother (Annabella Sciorra).

Why buy a Gold Bond Mattress?

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

t t t

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

t

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

t

Everybody loves you when you’re buying; but you want a dealer that still loves you if you have a problem…

FRI. 30-TUE. 04

POMP IT UP

Vermonters boldly go Fourth this weekend in a variety of ways: The Vermont Symphony Orchestra offers concerts statewide featuring Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, complete with fireworks. Both Burlington and Montpelier get their holiday groove on a day early, and Waterbury, Bristol and Warren host themed parades and night-sky shows bursting with pyrotechnic potential. Other outdoor music encompasses oom-pah by the 40th Army Band in Jefferson, and live groups dealing out danceable jams from old-time folk, funk and soul to good-time rock ’n’ roll. Tots trot through an inflatable town in Essex, or get their faces painted in multiple places. Patriots who march to a different drummer enjoy fifeaccompanied readings of the Declaration of Independence at Fort Ticonderoga, Peacham’s tractor parade, or the fragrant gamble of “cowplop bingo” in Fairfax. See page 6B for a complete listing of events.

JULY 4 WEEKEND FESTIVITIES Friday through Tuesday, June 30 - July 4. See calendar for locations, times, prices and phone numbers. www.sevendaysvt.com

scene@GREEN MOUNTAIN CHEW CHEW WATERFRONT PARK, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 5-7 P.M. I was happy and hungry when I arrived at the Green Mountain Chew Chew at Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterfront Park on Saturday. The Sox had just won in dramatic fashion, but it took extra innings, so dinner had been put off a bit. With a smile on my face, I strolled into the sun-drenched park and caught the mixed scent of barbecue. My stomach grumbled impatiently.

Before I got to the food, however, I walked past some non-food-related attractions. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Price Chopper Hopperâ&#x20AC;? made me nostalgic for the halcyon days of bouncing around in luridly colored inflatable castles. A climbing wall had the fatherly faces of Mount Rushmore embossed at its summit. Maybe my blood-sugar level was too low, but I swear George Washington resembled David Ortiz. Luckily, there was no one near me to hear my â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papi of our countryâ&#x20AC;? comment.

Finally, I made it to the food. First, I was lured by the boisterous occupants of the T-Bones Restaurant booth, who were yelling â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pork on a stick!â&#x20AC;? with gusto. Never known to turn down meat on a stick, I indulged. Then, to complete the carnivorous segment of the program, I visited Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wicked Mountain Sausages for a kielbasa. To wash everything down, I grabbed a lemonade from the very meta Vermont Tent Company tent. I had no idea what lemonade had to do with tents, but they were dutifully squeezing fresh lemons, so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask questions.

As I sipped a free sample of a Ben & Jerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milkshake, I took in some of the music from the Will Patton Ensemble, which featured mandolin, flute and triangle. I was hoping they might cover a Metallica tune, but instead they delivered a fittingly breezy soundtrack to the event.

On my way out, full of food and happiness, I noticed the Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bank hot air balloon being inflated. The intrepid passengers reached an altitude of about 15 feet before being hauled back down to earth. My taste buds, however, still soared with unbridled pleasure.

THE 2006 RAFFLE QUILT: â&#x20AC;&#x153;STARS OF VERMONTâ&#x20AC;?

CREATED BY MARY K. RYAN AND JAN SNELLING MCTAGGART

SEW AND TELL

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need lumber and nails to build a â&#x20AC;&#x153;log cabin,â&#x20AC;? or a rocket ship to catch a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shooting starâ&#x20AC;?: These popular patterns, some of the hundreds on display at the 30th annual Vermont Quilt Festival, require only scissors, thread, needles and plenty of patience. The 3-day exhibition pays tribute to one of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest handicrafts. A special exhibit highlights almost 100 historic selections from a Vermont state quilt archive, including one centered around a Revolutionary War-era textile print.

Experts armed with batting batten down the patches in practical workshops; traveling needle addicts can rent a sewing machine on site. A Thursday night champagne-and-chocolate preview gives potential purchasers a chance to make offers on their own personal set of stitches in time.

VERMONT QUILT FESTIVAL Friday through Sunday, June 30 - July 2, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, see calendar for times. $9-10. Info, 485-7092. www.vqf.org

Blind dates are not for the faint of heart. The Valley Players stage a romantic comedy celebrating bravery among those willing to drop their amorous armor. In I Love You, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Perfect, Now Change, four actors double up for musical sketches probing the process of looking for and living with another person.

Songs such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Single Man Drought,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men Who Talk and Women Who Pretend Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Listening,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Always a Bridesmaidâ&#x20AC;? offer humor on dating, waiting, and getting to the altar. Act II chronicles life post-marriage: a babbling new father portrays the exhaustion of parenthood in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Baby Song,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I Be Less in Love With You?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; captures the tender affection of a couple celebrating their 30th anniversary. Is love blind?

FULL STEAM AHEAD

Cross-genre musical projects often end up muddling their source material. Not so with Old School Freight Train. The band’s fiery energy blends acoustic traditions from Latin and Celtic to bluegrass and jazz. Guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Jesse Harper fronts virtuosic instrumentals from 5-string banjo player Ben Krakauer, mandolinist Pete Frostic, poetic fiddler Nate Leath and upright bassist Darrell Muller. After mandolin master David Grisman heard the band play in 2004, he helped them record their second album, Run, on his own Acoustic Disc label. Grisman plans to tour with them this fall, but fusion fans won’t have to wait that long: This Sunday, the Charlottesville, Virginia-based band inaugurates Stowe Performing Arts’ 30th “Music in the Meadow” summer concert series. All aboard!

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

JUNE 29-JULY 05

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A Malaysian woman survived a showdown with a tiger.

Kaliyama was working as a rubber tapper when the big cat slinked up behind her and wrapped its jaws around her leg. “Amma! Amma!” she cried out, invoking the name of the mother goddess.

The tiger let go, backed off a step, and glared at her. Summoning her courage, she gazed back at it. After a few minutes of this staring match, the tiger departed, leaving Kaliyama in peace. I advise you to use a similar approach in your engagement with a beastly influence, Aries. Ask for the goddess’ help, then let your essence beam out through the windows to your soul.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the game known as Rock Paper Scissors, each player pumps a fist twice and then displays his or her hand in one of three different shapes: flat to indicate a piece of paper, a fist to symbolize rock, or index finger and middle finger extended for scissors. Each of the three can beat just one of the other two. Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, and rock smashes scissors. For centuries in many cultures, this game has been used by pairs of people to settle small decisions, such as who will wash the dishes this time or who will run to the store to get beer. Though it’s not usually invoked to determine matters of great importance, you might consider bucking tradition this week. It may be impossible to solve knotty questions through common sense and negotiation. Why not try the Rock Paper Scissors approach?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Sixty percent of Nigeria’s population lives below the poverty line. Yet according to the World Values Survey, published in New Scientist magazine, Nigerians are the happiest people on the planet.

How can that be? It may have something to do with the Survey’s conclusion that “the desire for material goods is a happiness suppressant.”

Sounds to me like the conclusion the Buddhists came to a long time ago: Craving for earthly riches is the source of a lot of suffering. Luckily, you Geminis are in a phase when you have great power to shift your pursuit of satisfaction away

from transitory, ephemeral, ultimately useless pleasures and toward the truly gratifying, eternal ones.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In 1982 I moved into a new home in Santa Cruz. It was just a funky old cottage that had once been a barn, but I was ecstatic to have it. As I opened the front door to begin my first day there, a violet-crowned hummingbird bolted inside in front of me, stayed for a few minutes, then departed. I regarded its visit as a phenomenally good omen, and it turned out to be just that. During my years in that house, I wrote my first book, recorded my first music album, fell in love with the woman I married, and conceived my daughter.

Almost exactly 24 years later, I’m meditating on your horoscope as I sit in my current abode.

“Send me a sign,” I just said to the gods. “What’s in the works for Cancerians?” Now a violetcrowned hummingbird is dancing exuberantly in front of my window, peering in, lingering a long time. I take it to mean you’re at the beginning of a great opening.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): According to the organization Human Rights Watch, there are currently 2225 American convicts condemned to life sentences for crimes they perpetrated as teenagers. In contrast, the entire rest of the world has only 12 prisoners in a similar situation. I favor the more lenient approach that prevails on the planet outside of the U.S. — not just for criminals but for everyone. Though most of us didn’t commit felonies when we were young, we all made big mistakes that caused problems for us as well as others. Should we suffer for our sins forever? I hope not. It so happens that the coming days will provide fresh opportunities for you Leos to atone for and correct the wrong turns you made way back when.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): HELP WANTED: Looking for a smart operator who has expertise in both rebellion and compromise.

Must be willing to break taboos if necessary in order to help people, but must also be a sensitive

BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone. and empathetic collaborator who’s skilled at creating harmonious solutions. Are you a rugged individualist with a strong sense of self, or are you a community builder who can get along with a wide variety of human types? Both, hopefully.

Be a good listener who expresses yourself clearly.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you set your mind to it, you could break the world’s record for most ketchup sipped through a straw in 3 minutes, or the greatest distance pushing a tangerine down a highway with one’s nose, or the most jumps on a pogo-stick in the rain at dawn while wearing a leather jumpsuit. For that matter, Libra, you now have the boldness, physical vigor and slightly crazed chutzpah to accomplish a whole range of precedent-breaking feats, from halting an abuse of power you’ve been putting up with to overthrowing the soggy status quo that has watered down the passions of everyone in a group you care about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The U.S.

Congress creates a constant stream of new legislation, but that doesn’t mean President Bush has to enforce it. Since he took office in 2001, in fact, Bush has chosen to disobey more than 750 freshly minted laws. At the risk of getting you in trouble with the powers-that-be, I’m advising you to make Bush your role model in the coming week.

Try to get away with ignoring any rules of the game you don’t like or agree with. To maximize your chance of sailing through unscathed, proceed as Bush does — in a stealth mode, not calling attention to the fact that you’re in a rebel outlaw mode.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Please stick to drinking low-fat water in the coming days; avoid the high-fat H20 whenever possible. Likewise, inhale only the kind of oxygen that’s low in cholesterol, and don’t allow your eyes to take in fatty landscapes or other calorierich sights. In other words, Sagittarius, celebrate simple pleasures. To make best use of the astrological opportunities, you’ve got to consistently choose the rawest, most basic options.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Last week’s symbol was a closed fist. The mood was determined, fierce and intolerant of any funny stuff. But you’re leaving the zone in which that stance made sense. Your new metaphor is the open hand. Your chances at succeeding will increase in proportion to your willingness to negotiate for peace, seek connection, and accept input. Receptivity is the Truth and the Way. “Why not?” is your power mantra. To prime yourself for the transition, I suggest that wherever you are right now, you spread your arms wide and unfurl your welcoming palms.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When you obsess on your adversaries, you risk becoming like them. The more you shape your life through your responses to things you don’t like, you invite them to define your destiny. You’ll have to be on guard against falling prey to this mistake in the coming weeks, Aquarius. While I don’t suggest that you totally ignore the forces that oppose you, neither do I recommend that you regularly wake up in the middle of the night and spend hours plotting your next 10 moves against them. Confine your scheming to a circumscribed period — say every Saturday between 11:30 a.m. and noon — and devote the rest of your time to creating what you love.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Actress Isla Fisher won the Breakthrough Performance award at the MTV Movie Awards for her role in the film Wedding Crashers. “For most people, playing a bi-polar nymphomaniac would have been a challenge,” she said. “But I just played myself.”

She’s your role model for the coming week, Pisces. I hope she inspires you to be yourself, only bigger and badder and brighter. It’s like you have a poetic license to proceed as if you’re starring in the blockbuster movie of your own life.

Ruby Hi! My name is Ruby. To celebrate Adopt-a-Shelter Cat month, I would like to encourage you to consider HSCC as your source for a wonderful feline family member. I also want to remind you that if you have cats at home already to make sure that they are spayed or neutered and up-to-date on their vaccinations.

This way they will be safe, healthy, and happy! As I mentioned, I’m Ruby.

Don’t you just want to adopt me? You will if you are looking for a beautiful 8year-old spayed female, short haired tiger and white cat to join your family. I am a calm, affectionate, mellow, social, attentive, and gentle girl. I came to HSCC because my previous human friend passed away. I am a plus-sized girl with a plus-sized heart to give you tons of love! I am looking for a home where my people will keep me on my special diet and give me lots of love in return.

Being petted and brushed feels really nice although I prefer all the affection to be given while all four of my paws are firmly grounded. Instead of being picked up what I like to do is snuggle up on the couch with you for a good movie or book. A family with kids 5 or 10 and up would be awesome. My history with other animals is unknown so it is not clear how I would feel about sharing a home with other cats or dogs.

Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, For weeks, my friend “Steve” has been confiding in me about his crush on “Sue,” and I have been advising him about how to win her over. So far, the relationship has not moved beyond a platonic friendship, and I see no evidence that it ever will. I do see evidence, though, that my own platonic relationship with Sue may be capable of turning into something more. That would be just fine with me, if it weren’t for Steve. I’m afraid that if I follow through with Sue, he’ll feel that I’ve betrayed him, and I don’t want to lose him as a friend.

What should I do?

Conflicted in Corinth Dear Conflicted, How certain are you about Sue’s affections? Before you do anything, make sure you’re reading the signs right. If you are, you should level with Steve, and ask how he would feel if you started seeing Sue. If he’s as good a friend to you as you seem to be to him, he’ll step aside and not hold a grudge. If not, you need to decide whose friendship you value more — his or hers.

Love, Lola
