WHY PRIDE

Regarding “Out and Proud” [“Local Matters,” June 15], as director of SafeSpace, a queer anti-violence organization in Vermont ( http://www.SafeSpaceVT.org ), I hope that most Vermonters have not “moved on” from recogniz-

ing the importance of Pride. It may have been “a good year to be queer in Vermont” for many, but there are many more lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Vermonters who have been victims of hate crimes, domestic and sexual violence. SafeSpace documented an increase from 12 bias reports in 2003, to 91 in 2004. The backlash against queer people continues to happen locally and nationally. For more information about anti-queer hate crimes in Vermont and national-

ly, download the 2004 National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs Hate Report — http://www.NCAVP.org. Last fall, a Seven Days cover story described one Vermonter’s story of being harassed, threatened and physically harmed, due to his perceived sexual orientation. This case took years to reach a resolution for the victim, and is one example of why we still need events like Pride. Pride is an important way to increase our visibility and our collective power

BURLINGTON

Executive Director, SafeSpace UNFUND PUBLIC BROADCASTING “Public” broadcasting [“Local Matters,” June 22] is an insidious, counterproductive fraud on the people and should be exposed, not federally funded. Calling this mainstream Bushist propaganda tool “public” implies that it serves the public interest. The truth is the exact opposite. Calling themselves commercial-free is another annoying fraud. Their “credits” listing advertisers (often with phone numbers) and calling them “supporters” implies widespread public support for “public” broadcasting. Their frequent “fund drives,” which even public radio admits are annoying, combined with their “credits” makes public broadcasting worse than openly commercial broadcasting. Just this week, Vermont 2 Public Radio “news” was citing

as queer people from all walks of life and from across Vermont. Pride is a chance for us to come together to support one another, to celebrate who we are, and to be a voice for change. We will not continue to have progress in our state, nationally or globally, if we do not come out in our lives every day and also once a year to show our Pride. Kara DeLeonardis

Bush plugging to extend the most damnable features of the Patriot Act before some handpicked Midwestern pro-Bush audience. In the first place, Bush plugging antisocial legislation is not news. In the second place, there was no mention of the objectionable provisions. And third, there was no equal time for critics or opponents. When Bush carries on about Social Security privatization before handpicked audiences, there is no criticism, no opposition, no public-interest consideration. Yet Bush is not “perseverant” or “persistent,” he is obstinate and stubborn, like the mule he is — and loyal to the bribers who brought him his election and reelection. “Once a liar, always a liar” escapes the “public” broadcasters. Once the weapons of mass destruction hoax and the “intelligence” manipulated to promote the Iraq war became public, all media should have cut Bush off the air for the rest of his lying life. The 40 percent reduction proposed for the Public Broadcasting Corporation is too little, too late. We need a 100 percent reduction now, and full exposure of the harmful, insidious, fraudulent, antisocial, conservative Bushist nature of public broadcasting. Peter D. Moss FAIRFAX

BY PETER FREYNE

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Guns Over the Champlain Valley

n WDEV radio Tuesday morning, we caught Howard Coffin plugging his latest book — Guns Over the Champlain Valley. It’s a guided tour of those key battles that occurred in our neck of the woods more than 200 years ago. They were the battles that turned a colonial insurgency into the Revolutionary War. Time flies. That same morning, newspapers across America carried the chilling news that the U.S. Supreme Court had declined to consider the appeal of two Washington-based journalists who refused to tell a federal grand jury the identities of their confidential sources. Instead, the ruling of the lower court stands. And the ruling of the lower court turns back the clock, to a time when there was no such thing as a “free press” anywhere on Earth. The journalists now face jail time. In 2003, conservative columnist and Bob Novak outed covert CIA Agent Valerie Plame. He did so based on information he had received from “confidential government sources” that he did not name. A criminal investigation was subsequently launched because it is a federal crime for a government official to “knowingly” release the name of a covert operative. Prosecutors in Washington convened the grand jury to catch the unknown leakers. But in a Kafka-esque twist, columnist Novak was not called as a witness! Instead, two other reporters, Matthew Cooper of Time magazine and Judith Miller of The New York Times, were ordered to testify. Miller never even wrote about the Plame matter. When one appears before a grand jury as a witness, both one’s lawyer and one’s constitutional rights are checked at the door. The prosecutor can ask any question he or she wishes, and the witness must answer. Cooper and Miller refused to identify their confidential sources. They claimed the First Amendment gave them the constitutional right to protect those sources. To do otherwise would have forever left them on the trash heap of American journalism. That’s how fundamental this principle is to a free press, folks. “Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press,” wrote Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, “is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people.” Amen. And we say “amen” while acknowledging with sadness that the current American corporate-controlled press failed miserably to perform that duty regarding the Iraq deception that George W. Bush & Co. successfully perpetrated. Unfortunately, government lawyers in the Valerie Plame case successfully convinced an appeals court that, in America, reporters have no such constitutional right to protect sources. As for the current case, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the Bush administration used Novak for the purpose of retaliation against the CIA agent’s spouse, a career foreign-service diplomat named Joseph Wilson. Mr. Wilson, you’ll recall, had been sent to Africa in prewar 2002 to find “evidence” that Saddam

Hussein had bought uranium for his secret WMDs that, we now know, did not exist. Not surprisingly, Wilson found no evidence linking Saddam to African uranium. None. To the Bush White House, Mr. Wilson had not been a team player. It was, no doubt, a public-relations setback for the Bush-Cheney-Haliburton “We Want War” Club, but they successfully overcame it by pumping up the national terror “threat level” and turning up the rhetoric on Saddam’s frightening, though nonexistent, WMDs. Hey, it worked, didn’t it? Let’s give credit where credit is due. The administration wanted payback, so they leaked, and Novak reported in 2003 that Wilson had been recommended for the “sensitive” African witch hunt by his covert CIA agent wife. Novak went ahead and wrote it, despite a federal law that makes it a crime, under certain circumstances, for a government official to leak the identity of a covert agent. But to this day, Novak has not been called by the federal grand jury investigating the leak! Wouldn’t George Orwell get a kick out of this one? It may be a boiling-hot June afternoon in Vermont, but yours truly cannot escape the chill. If America’s press is no longer free to expose the government deception Justice Black referred to, then it’s over, folks. The freedom won, at a price of life and limb, in those battles around Lake Champlain around 225 years ago no longer exists. What’s next? Recently “Inside Track” broke the story that Burlington Attorney Ritchie Berger will be picked to become the next United States Attorney for the District of Vermont. That’s Uncle Sam’s chief law enforcement office in our little world. We did so citing confidential sources. Since we are at war and secrecy is at a peak, what’s to prevent the current actingU.S. Attorney David Kirby from coming after yours truly, demanding we reveal to a grand jury our sources on the leak regarding the new federal prosecutor appointment? Obviously, the current U.S. Supreme Court couldn’t care less. That’s probably why we didn’t give Mr. Kirby a call Tuesday afternoon to get his view of the matter. No need to plant a seed in his brain, eh? And, David, if you’re reading this on Wednesday, please don’t get any ideas. Just joking, OK? P.S. If you think it can’t happen here, check out “Local Matters” on page 09A and learn how Burlington Police recently invoked the Patriot Act in requesting private library records. Vietnam II — Seven Days goes to press before President Bush’s big Tuesday night speech to the nation on Iraq.

This whirlwind comedy chronicles the making of a big-budget Hollywood movie in a remote village in County Kerry, Ireland. In sidesplitting and chameleon-like fashion, two exceptionally gifted actors, play an entire cast of eccentric characters-from the film’s spoiled American starlet to the starstruck Irish locals.

BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — By all accounts, Sudan is facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Since the country’s brutal dictator, Omar alBashir, seized power in a 1989 coup, his regime has been accused of killing more than 2 million innocent civilians — 400,000 in the last two years alone — and displacing 4 million others. In 1997, President Clinton made it illegal for American companies to do business in the East African nation. And last year, the Bush administration finally described the ongoing violence in Sudan’s Darfur region as “genocide.” So why are Vermont’s three state pension funds still invested in companies that do business there? That question arose earlier this month when State Senator Matt Dunne (D–Hartland) introduced a resolution calling on the state treasurer and Vermont’s three retirement boards to divest of all companies with ties to Sudan. The Senate adopted the nonbinding measure with 13 cosponsors. “To me, as someone who tries to follow the international press, this felt a million miles away,” says Dunne. “But I was so surprised to find out that it’s OK for Vermont taxpayers’ money to be going to companies that are doing things U.S.-based companies can’t do.” U.S.-based companies are only allowed to do business in Sudan if it’s related to humanitarian efforts, such as selling food, medicine and agricultural supplies. But, as Dunne discovered recently, there is nothing prohibiting American investors, including public pension funds, from owning shares in foreign companies that support the Sudanese government. Those companies include Siemens, a Germany-based telecommunications corporation. International human rights groups have placed Siemens on a “suspect list” of businesses with direct ties to the Bashir regime. According to Dunne,

representatives from Siemens, but has yet to receive a satisfactory reply to his queries about their activities in Sudan. Still, he’s not convinced that divestiture — a policy that was so effective in convincing the government of South Africa to end apartheid in the 1980s — is appropriate yet. The state treasurer believes that in some cases, shareholder initiatives are more effective in urging companies to do the right thing. Vermont’s nascent divestiture effort is part of a growing campaign among U.S. colleges, universities and state governments to exert financial pressure on companies that may be helping to fund the Sudanese genocide. In April,

different companies that operate in the country. Vermont Treasurer Jeb Spaulding says he’s well aware of the allegations made about the state’s pension funds, which serve more than 30,000 current and former teachers and civil servants. However, he considers divestiture “a very last resort.” Spaulding says that before the state retirement boards take any action, he first wants to be sure that taking such action wouldn’t do more harm than good. “Members of the board, myself included, are horrified by what has happened, and what’s continuing to happen [in Sudan],” he says. “But if you’re going to inadvertently hurt the people you’re try-

Vermont’s three state pension funds own assets worth between $2 million and $100 million in foreign companies that are active in Sudan — Siemens among them.

According to a CSP report published last year, the Vermont State Retirement System owns more than $106 million in assets in 17

Neither the U.S. State Department nor the Securities and Exchange Commission offer any guidance to investors about which companies to avoid. And while there are private consulting firms that will analyze portfolios looking for “suspect companies,” Spaulding says they often charge thousands of dollars, and their findings are questionable. Spaulding says he’s contacted

for example, Harvard University announced that it was selling its $4.4 million interest in PetroChina, a Beijing-based oil company with major operations in Sudan. Then in early June, Stanford University’s board of trustees voted to divest of four petroleum companies with ties to the Bashir dictatorship. But the largest divestiture effort to date occurred in May, when the Illinois Legislature overwhelmingly approved a bill requiring that state to sell off approximately $1 billion in holdings in companies that do business in Sudan. That bill is still awaiting the governor’s signature. Similar legislation is pending in about a dozen other states. 쩾

Librarians Protest “Patriot” Games in Winterbottom Investigation

OF JULY!

- Frankie & The Staff

BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — Critics of the USA Patriot Act have long decried the law’s tendency to erode civil liberties, including personal privacy. What’s often left out of those discussions is how the Patriot Act also puts up new walls of suspicion and distrust between the police and the citizens they’re charged with protecting. Even as Rep. Bernie Sanders recently succeeded in getting the U.S. House of Representatives to repeal provisions of the Patriot Act that allow federal agents to search library records, some Vermont librarians were raising concerns that the post-9/11 law may have been used improperly in a local murder investigation. Those concerns arose in the wake of the murder of 31-year-old Burlington resident Laura Winterbottom, who was found dead in her car on March 8. In the course of their investigation, Burlington detectives visited several local libraries to follow a possible lead that Winterbottom may have met her attacker online through a library computer. But one local librarian — police officials won’t say who — initially refused to turn over those records, claiming that the library could not violate a patron’s privacy without a court order. According to a letter of complaint sent to Burlington Police Chief Thomas Tremblay from the Vermont Library Association, the officer “responded by threatening to call the FBI,” and “invoked the term ‘USA Patriot Act’” during a conversation with the town manager “in an apparent effort to intimidate the manager into compliance.” “We understand how difficult it must be for officers to sift through many leads and gather information they need to investigate such cases,” the June 10 letter states. “However, we are very disappointed to learn that officers seem to be unaware of the special consideration that should be shown to library records. And we were disappointed to learn that when asked to provide a court order, an officer would resort to bullying tactics.” Such actions would be “entirely inappropriate,” according to Burlington City Councilor Phil Fiermonte (P–Ward 3) who is also an aide to Rep. Sanders. But Chief Tremblay “respectfully disputes” the claim that officers “invoked” the Patriot Act, though he does say that it was mentioned in the course of a conversation about the tactics police officers can use to obtain confidential files. Tremblay explains that after a person dies, her personal records, including those held by medical, dental and financial institutions, no longer retain the same privacy protections granted to the living. As a result, police are not required to go through the same legal procedures to obtain them. Tremblay says his detectives simply wanted to “cut to the chase” and find out if Winterbottom had an account at that particular library. If she didn’t, the officers wouldn’t need to

waste precious investigative and judicial time in seeking a court order. Tremblay notes that an internal affairs review of the incident concluded that the officers’ actions were legal and appropriate. “We certainly regret that anybody from the library association felt intimidated or threatened. That certainly wasn’t our intent,” Tremblay adds. “Our intent was to

The study didn’t ask librarians to say how many of those queries invoked the USA Patriot Act — librarians are bound by a gag order from revealing that information anyway.

As it turned out, Winterbottom did not have an account there, and the lead proved inconsequential in capturing her alleged killer. Nevertheless, many of Vermont’s librarians get prickly whenever law enforcement agents go snooping into their files. And that’s understandable, considering the findings of a study released last week by the American Library Association. The survey of 1500 public libraries and 4000 academic libraries across the country found that law enforcement officials made at least 200 formal and informal

“breathless reports and baseless hysteria” about the government’s interest in library activities. “This study shows that that’s not really true. The police often are interested in what people are doing in the library,” says Trina Magi, Vermont Chapter Councilor American Library to the Association and a librarian at the University of Vermont’s BaileyHowe Library. “If that’s the case, they should get a court order and we’d be happy to work with them.” For his part, the Burlington police chief considers this matter closed, but says he’s willing to meet with the librarians if they have ongoing concerns. Fiermonte and his fellow councilors are still awaiting Tremblay’s official response. 쩾

Police Officer Robert Denaro reported that Guity was stuck in the E-Z Pass lane without a toll tag. He lacked $1.20 for the $4.50 toll. On further questioning, Denaro said he had no driver’s license or registration for the 2003 Isuzu, whose owner is Asian.

desecration of the Earth occurring over my short lifetime, who knows? “I had surgery two years ago for epilepsy. For my brain. I was with my parents when they had a heart attack. They died in my arms.” I glanced over at this man. He looked neither sad nor happy, just entirely open — I would even say hopeful. He seemed determined to share the major events of his life with me. In his desire to cover everything, however, the incidents were now colliding into one another, piling up like flotsam on the shoreline. “I’m sorry about your parents,” I said. “What were you saying? You were with them when they died?” “Yup, they had a heart attack. They died in my arms.” This story didn’t quite add up, but who knows? In any event, it seemed clear that his parents were gone and he missed them. All the rest are unimportant details. I said, “I’m sorry to hear about that, man. But it looks like you’re doing all right now, anyways.” “Oh, yeah,” he said. “I’m doing great.” At my customer’s direction, we took a couple of turns into the Mayfair Park section of South Burlington, and came to a stop at a nondescript, two-story house. It looked like any of the other homes in this middle-class neighborhood, but with a slightly less manicured front lawn. He said, “This is my group home.” “It looks like a nice place,” I said. “Maybe I’ll see you next time, when I visit my girlfriend.” “You have a girlfriend. That’s great. Where does she live — in Essex Junction?” “Yup, she lives in another group home in Essex Junction. She likes me.” “Well, I’ll bet she does,” I said with a laugh. The man then carefully counted out five one-dollar bills, and handed them to me. “One of the dollars is a tip,” he said. “Well, thank you very much. That’s kind of you, man.” “I’m going in now,” he said. “Roger,” I said. “See ya next time.” I watched as he climbed out of the cab and walked toward his home. Before he reached the front steps, however, he hesitated for a moment and turned around. He then walked back toward me and poked his head in the window. He said, “My name isn’t Roger. It’s Jeffrey.” He didn’t appear at all perturbed; I think he just wanted to set the record straight. “Jeez, my mistake. Well, good-bye again, Jeffrey.” Jeffrey smiled at me, nodded his head once, and then was on his way. 쩾

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, Several months ago I posed a question concerning the confusing (and potentially misleading) statistics placed on toothpastes, which my paranoid mind attributes to advertising spin and possibly outright lies by toothpaste makers. Wanting to get the most fluoride bang for my buck, I trusted only your answer because I know firsthand just how expensive it is to maintain (and replace) my teeth. I consistently check your column and understand that not all questions are answered, and that some questions are follow-ups on previous material. But today I see a brand-new article on coprophagia, of all things. I am hoping that a serious question didn’t fall on ears deaf to all but the sensational or shocking. Johnny Henson, via email Patience, chief. We get to everything (of consequence) eventually. Besides, after a column on coprophagia, what could be more fitting than one on the best way to clean your teeth? Your original letter made a number of observations: (1) The price range for toothpaste is surprisingly wide. Sure enough, during a recent casual survey at the supermarket I noticed that the price per ounce ranged from 17 cents for Ultra Brite on sale to $3 for Rembrandt Plus “premium whitening toothpaste with fluoride.” (2) Most toothpastes contain pretty much the same proportions of the same active ingredients. (3) However, not all do. Presumably you refer to the fact that most toothpastes use sodium fluoride (NaF) for cavity control while some use sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP). A few also include ingredients to control gingivitis (inflamed gums) and tooth sensitivity, but, oddly, none lists an active ingredient to make teeth whiter, a common toothpaste claim. Your unsurprising questions: What gives, and which toothpaste is best? Fluoride first. Over the past 30 years, most developed countries have reported declines in tooth decay in the neighborhood of 50 percent due to fluoride in toothpaste, drinking water, etc. Virtually all U.S. toothpastes contain a fluoride compound, either NaF or SMFP. In the early 1990s a few researchers claimed NaF was better

at cavity control than SMFP, but the current scientific consensus is that they work equally well. The original decay fighter, stannous fluoride, introduced in Crest in 1955 (remember Fluoristan, fellow geezers?), is seldom used now — among other things it can stain teeth. Some recent studies, though, suggest it’s useful in combating gingivitis. Differences in the amount of fluoride used in various toothpastes are inconsequential. Although the percentages of NaF and SMFP vary, they provide roughly the same amount of fluoride — 1000 to 1100 parts per million (ppm). In an era of maximum this and ultra that, such uniformity is curious, since (a) federal rules allow as much as 1500 ppm in nonprescription toothpaste, provided the label says not to give it to kids under six; (b) research suggests 1500 ppm toothpaste may be slightly (6 percent) better at controlling cavities than the 1000 ppm kind; and (c) U.S. toothpaste makers sell high-fluoride toothpaste in Europe. The explanation, as far as I can tell, is that marketing a 1500 ppm toothpaste here entails an expensive federal approval process not required of products in the lower range, and the one recent attempt (Extra-Strength Aim in the late ’80s) wasn’t conspicuously successful. But come on. Given the explosion of brand variations in recent years, is this the time for toothpaste hypesters to be telling themselves: “Eh, what we’ve got is good enough”? You may now be concluding that all toothpastes are the same. Not so fast. What’s confusing are federal labeling requirements. “Active ingredients” are those meant to confer a medical benefit. Others, such as whiteners, may be active in the colloquial sense but perform only a cosmetic function and so aren’t singled out on the label. That said, the evidence that marquee ingredients other than fluoride accomplish anything is far from overwhelming. A rundown on some popular ones: • Whiteners. Research by manufacturers says they work; Consumer Reports, among others, says they don’t, and that you should see your dentist about having your teeth bleached if they’re discolored. • Desensitizing agents. Research on one common ingredient, potassium nitrate, is mixed at best — a 2001 review concluded it was ineffective. • Antigingivitis agents. Top-selling Colgate Total contains triclosan to reduce plaque and gum swelling and bleeding. Some studies report positive results, some don’t, but the American Dental Association has given the stuff its seal of approval, and Consumer Reports says it’s good at germ busting. However, so are most other toothpastes. Conclusions: (1) Notwithstanding your paranoia, most toothpastes aren’t equally bad, they’re equally good. When Consumer Reports rated 38 toothpastes in 1998, 30 were judged excellent. (2) Price mostly reflects the grandiosity of manufacturer claims, not product quality. Remember pricey Rembrandt? It got some of CR’s worst ratings. Dirt-cheap Ultra Brite, on the other hand, got some of the best. CECIL ADAMS

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS

Horse Power

I For more info on bareback lessons at New Moon Ranch, call 318-3467. Info on AHA, http://www. americanhippo therapyassoc iation.org.

f you fall off a horse at New Moon Ranch in Richmond, there’s no getting back in the saddle — because there is no saddle. Every equestrian overseen by proprietor and instructor Lotta Rosen must learn how to ride bareback, with little more than a twitch of the hips and legs to control the animal. “I want people to learn how to be a horse,” says Rosen, brushing hay from the forelock of Cricket, a 22-year-old, chestnut-brown gelding. “And to do that you have to understand the energy of a horse. It’s tremendous, just amazing; it ripples through their body, and you’ll feel that when you start riding.” Bright, late-morning light filters into the barn at New Moon Ranch, which I’ve discovered through a friend and her horse-crazy husband. Both claim to have been transformed by their visits here. Having ridden English- and Western-style, I’m curious to see how losing the saddle might be an enlightening, rather than frightening, experience. “Horses do something to our souls,” says Rosen. “They reach inside of us and they empower us, especially women. When you tap into that energy and emotion, that combination will work right through you.” Though Rosen is not technically a therapist, what she’s talking about sounds very much like hippotherapy. I had learned prior to this late-June lesson about the practice of harnessing the power of horses to treat people with disabilities — “hippos” is Greek for horse. Though horses and humans have connected for thousands of years, hippotherapy has only developed in the past three decades, due to the efforts of such pioneers as Virginia Martin and Barbara Glasow at a farm in Warwick, New York. After teaching therapeutic riding seminars in the United States, they met with German equestrians who were offering similar programs overseas. In 1992, several U.S. therapists formed the American Hippotherapy Association, which has now grown to 95 “clinical specialists” in 35 states. Though none are listed for the Green

Mountain State, the University of Vermont does offer courses in hippotherapy. (There are several Vermont members of the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, an affliate organization.) The member-therapists of the AHA share the philosophy that the multidimensional walk of the animal is similar to movement patterns of the human pelvis; by connecting the two, trained therapists try to improve neurological function and sensory processing. In the past 10 years, an increasing number of patients have found horse-related help for cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, strokes and developmental delays. Under a broader umbrella of “therapeutic riding,” horses are also used to treat psychological disorders, learning disabilities and emotional trauma. This is where Lotta Rosen comes in. Many of her clients are seeking more than just a riding lesson. “I get some women who have had some abuse, but they don’t realize they’re coming to me for that purpose,” Rosen says. “They’re the most amazing people to watch. The first lesson, they’re scared to death, but near the end of the lesson they’re able to close their eyes for 10 seconds and trust this animal.” Wearing Wrangler jeans, a straw hat and a T-shirt that reads “One Bucking Thing After Another,” Rosen chokes up a little when recalling stories of her female clients. “They realize [the problem] is not them,” she says. “They can get on this 1100-pound animal and have this incredible, calm experience where the horse listens to what they say and doesn’t challenge them. I would love to have more women like that.” Rosen, who was raised around horses in Michigan and Connecticut, says she’s not interested in teaching those who expect to have their horse ready for them, or want to stand around and braid manes. Instead, she explains, she wants to improve the connection between riders and horses, and allow that process to heal both. Many of her clients have had problems with their own horses, and turn to Rosen for rela-

tionship advice. “You have to ride without expectations,” she says. “You don’t know quite what is going to happen in a day, and [horses] have biorhythms, so some days are better than others.” Leading Cricket out of the barn, I hope he’s having a good day — somewhere in our conversation, Rosen has mentioned Christopher Reeve, and I can’t help thinking that hopping on a horse’s back might do more harm than good. But Rosen has also assured me

felt since leaving the hospital two months ago. Within a few minutes, I’m able to make Cricket stop with just a deep exhalation. But just as I begin to relax, Rosen spooks me. “There’s one more thing I have everyone do in the first lesson,” she says. “Around the world.” At first I don’t understand, but then it clicks: She wants me to spin around on Cricket’s back, with nothing holding me on. My heart starts racing and my hands tremble as I swing my left leg

My heart starts racing and my hands tremble as I swing my left leg over his withers, then my right leg over his haunches; everything feels so slippery and unstable. that Cricket is as sweet and safe as they come. I place the bit in Cricket’s mouth and hook the bridle around his ears. As Rosen juts out her thigh to be my stepping stool — with no saddle, there are no stirrups, either — I propel myself up and onto the horse. We start with a few breathing exercises. Rosen claims these animals can feel a fly on their manes, and therefore respond to the way a human’s heart and lungs are pumping. “Horse-feathers,” I think skeptically as I take in our surroundings. Rosen’s ranch sits along Huntington Gorge, and I can hear the water rushing just beyond the round pen’s walls; wind rustles the leaves. And the deeper I breathe, the more Cricket’s neck muscles seem to relax. Now that we’re both warmed up, Cricket and I begin to walk on our own; Rosen teaches me how to guide him with a gentle push of my calves and a slight raise of the reins. Amazingly, he follows, and I in turn feel my hips moving rhythmically with the way he’s walking. I haven’t told Rosen this, but I’m recovering from a serious surgery, and this is the best I’ve

over his withers, then my right leg over his haunches; everything feels so slippery and unstable. Cricket, however, stands patiently, just shifting his hooves slightly underneath the turbulence. When I’m facing forward again, I feel the exhilaration that comes from conquering fear. Back in the barn, Rosen’s next student, Connie Demey of Westford, is prepping a horse named Lucy, who, she says, has taught her something similar to what I experienced today. “When I was younger I’d hop on anything and go for a ride,” says Demey, 49. “But after my kids, I had built up fear.” With people depending on her, she explains, she was less likely to take chances. But since beginning lessons with Rosen last August, Demey has progressed from bareback baby steps to racing figure-eights around barrels during her twice-weekly visits to New Moon Ranch. “I feel much more confident, and in a lot of different areas,” she says. “It’s a harmony with the horse instead of aggression; it’s a partnership.” m

August 6 Call for D e ta ils

Fort Bragg does give one pause. The echoes of the cinematic tradition of Leni Riefenstahlâ€™s German propaganda films of the 1930s are disturbing. Will what worked for Adolph work for George? Remarkably, it was columnist Bob Novak, a passionate â€œhawkâ€? during the Vietnam War and staunch critic of the weak-kneed, liberal, antiwar doves, who stunned many CNN viewers recently by declaring he had been wrong about Vietnam. A victory for Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, Novak now says, was â€œinevitable.â€? And had he and the White House changed their tune in 1968 and faced that truth, said Novak, thousands and thousands of American soldiers would not have been killed and maimed. And Sen. John McCain would not have sat in the Hanoi Hilton prison camp until 1973. Novak suggested the current Bush Iraq policy needs to be examined in a similar light. Surprisingly, this is one where â€œFrom the Rightâ€? Novak and â€œFrom the Leftâ€? U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy see damn near eye-to-eye. â€œThe president, the vice president, the secretary of defense said, â€˜Stay the course,â€™â€? Leahy told â€œInside Trackâ€? the other day. â€œI recall terms like that during Vietnam. â€œTheyâ€™ve said that weâ€™re succeeding when even our commanders in the field say, â€˜No, weâ€™re not.â€™ â€œThey say the insurgency is being beat, when the people in the field say the insurgency is getting stronger. â€œIâ€™m just waiting for one of them to say, â€˜We see the light at the end of the tunnel.â€™â€? The Bush administration, said St. Patrick, â€œbegan the war without thinking about what would happen once we got there.â€? They invaded, he said, â€œwith false expectations.â€? The same could be said of President Lyndon Johnsonâ€™s invasion of Vietnam, eh? And it was positively dĂŠjĂ vu all over again the other night to hear a U.S. Army corporal describe the feeling of not being able to tell the â€œbad guysâ€? from the local population because â€œthey all look alike.â€? â€œVice President Cheney said we would be greeted as liberators in Baghdad,â€? said Leahy, â€œand so far weâ€™ve been greeted with bombs and explosive devices.â€? So what was Leahy hoping President Bush would tell the nation Tuesday night? â€œRight now,â€? said Vermontâ€™s senior senator, â€œthe president has got to be honest with the American people, say we do have problems, and tell us how quickly weâ€™re going to turn this over to the Iraqis so they can defend their own country.â€? Fat chance. Welch Announces â€” As expected, State Sen. Peter Welch announced on Tuesday he will seek the Democratic nomination to fill the U.S. House seat Bernie Sanders is giving up. Sanders is running for the U.S. Senate seat Jim Jeffords is giving up. Jim Jeffords has been traveling by wheelchair lately, recovering

from knee surgery. Heâ€™s not running for anything. Unfortunately, our deadline made attending Welchâ€™s Statehouse campaign kickoff impossible. But in addition to what youâ€™ll read and watch on local news, sources say it was a much too long and drawn-out affair for such a hot and humid day. Windy speeches and windy weather, weâ€™re told, prevailed and mussed hairdos as ex-Govs. Phil Hoff, Tom Salmon and Madeleine Kunin lauded their favorite son. Everyone knows former State Sen. Peter Shumlinâ€™s shadow is looming. For Shummy to succeed, heâ€™ll have to organize the partyâ€™s New Guard and show how out of touch the Old Guard has grown. Hoff, by the way, ruled Vermont in the 1960s. Salmon had the 1970s, and Queen Madeleineâ€™s reign was in the 1980s. Their endorsements wonâ€™t carry much weight with the young voters of 2006. Ten Commandments â€” There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth this week over the Supreme Court rulings regarding the display of the Ten Commandments on government property. It reminds us how the American view of the rest of the world is so different from our view of ourselves. When religious leaders in other countries cross the sacred line between church and state, the U.S. news media always describes them as â€œreligious fanatics.â€? But the same media describes homegrown, allAmerican religious fanatics who cross the same line as â€œdevout Christians.â€? Truth is, we have just as many religious fanatics as do countries where the the religious leaders are called mullahs and ayatollahs rather than reverends or ministers or priests. Americaâ€™s extremist religious faction is alive and well, and has played an important role in putting the current regime in power. Say a little prayer, eh? This writerâ€™s late, dear old dad was a devout Roman Catholic. He never missed Sunday mass and he never missed voting on Election Day. Practicing his religion freely and practicing his politics freely were rights he personally treasured. But he had a pet peeve about his church sticking its nose into his politics. His annoyance stemmed from growing up in a country that had not yet tasted freedom. As a young man in Ireland, he joined the IRA, and served from early 1920 until his capture by the British in May 1921. At that time, membership in the IRA meant instant excommunication from the Catholic Church. In Ireland, the â€œone true churchâ€? was, unfortunately, on the side of the British occupation and against the notion of the Irish running their own independent country. Remember, this was a man who prayed the Rosary until his dying day. Only the death of his little brother in battle tore at him as deeply in later years as being denied the sacraments simply because he fought for freedom. So it isnâ€™t hard to imagine what

2x7-AlpineShop062905 3:532005 PM | Page 1 29-july 06, inside SEVEN DAYS | june6/24/05

dear old dad might say about the current legal controversy involving church and state, and just where he’d tell ’em to stick their Ten Commandments. Media Notes — Finally, WCAX-TV’s new star female co-anchor has arrived at the right hand of Marselis Parsons. Actually, she’s just returning to Ch. 3 after a couple years covering the more grisly news stories of Massachusetts for NECN. One thing Kristin Kelly said she learned from her Bay State beat is that you can die just about anywhere. To prove her point, she recalled stories she covered of an exploding lobster boat and a man getting swallowed by a front-yard cave-in. Whew! Ms. Kelly, a graduate of Barnard College and NYU’s journalism school, replaces Sera Congi, who left for a Boston gig of her own. On her unheralded opening night last Wednesday, Marsillyiss surprised many viewers by not acknowledging the sudden appearance of his better half. In fact, things were 4 a little shaky the first night. “I’ve had a few chokes,” admitted Kelly. But things have tightened up quickly. And despite Parsons’ earlier refusal to release information about the new arrival, the station is already running spots with the king officially welcoming the new queen to the anchor desk. Strange world that TV news, eh? Bernie Ineffective? — It received little local press, but last week Rep. Bernie Sanders’ firm support was not enough to stop the U.S. House from ceasing Medicare payments for erectile-dysfunction drugs like Viagra and Cialis. (Remember, guys, if it lasts longer than four hours, see a priest, No, sorry, call your doctor!) Not even most House Democrats sided with the Vermont Independent in opposing the amendment sponsored by Rep. Steve King (R-IA). The measure passed on a 285-121 up-ordown vote. What’s it all about, Alfie? Surprisingly, Ol’ Bernardo did not issue any press releases about his support for free erectile dysfunction drugs for the elderly. Most Vermonters are unaware of his support. “Any federal prescription drug program should cover all medicines that a patient and doctor agree are necessary,” said Bernie’s Chief of Staff Jeff Weaver. “We don’t need federal Medicare bureaucrats deciding which physical ailments deserve treatment and which do not.” We tried to get Mr. Weaver to comment on whether Bernie fought long and hard enough for poor Viagra users, but he declined the bait. m “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

his Independence Day weekend, our little world will be draped in flags, symbols of American patriotism, freedom and things it will soon be illegal to burn. Now, I love parades and fireworks as much as the next STORY citizen, but all that Old Glory-waving KATHRYN reminds me of the Pledge of Allegiance, BLUME and the Pledge of Allegiance is screwed up. Deeply flawed. I’ve been wanting to IMAGE rewrite it for a long time. In case you ROSE haven’t recited the POA since elementary MONTGOMERY school, let’s look at it again: I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America And to the republic for which it stands One nation, under God, indivisible, With liberty and justice for all. What enervating, dopey doggerel! It’s an amateurish poem and a lousy promise. What if marriage vows follow the same logic?

I promise to marry The ring on your finger Which is attached to your hand Which is at the end of your arm Which somewhere along the line Becomes you, who I love. The POA’s best part is at the end, but by the time we get to it, we’re already thinking about lunch. Who wrote this sawdust, anyway? I’ve always suspected either some Jeffersonian wannabe or a committee of reluctant, right-wing revolutionaries who demanded some sort of mind-numbing oath of unquestioning loyalty. But no. Not even close. It turns out — and this is going to bunch the undies of oath-loving, underGod conservatives — the Pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, who was a Socialist! Well, a Baptist minister Christian Socialist, but one who was interested, according to his biographer, John

As it happens, he really wanted to include the word â€œequalityâ€? in the Pledge as well, but he knew that the rest of the committee was opposed to equality for women and â€œNegroes.â€? As you may know, Bellamy didnâ€™t include the phrase â€œunder Godâ€? in the original POA. That was added in 1954 following a Supreme Deity Inclusion Campaign undertaken by the Knights of Columbus. Itâ€™s a change Bellamyâ€™s granddaughter says he would have resented. Lest you doubt this, Baer notes that Bellamy left his Boston church under considerable duress in 1891, thanks to his >> 22A

Socialist sermons, and later stopped attending his Florida church because of the rampant racial bigotry he saw there. Bellamyâ€™s lefty leanings aside, 112 years later the POA has all the pizzazz of a rainy day at a slug farm. I mean, for starters, I pledge allegiance to the flag? Itâ€™s a flag, a symbol, and a pretty abstract one at that. Now, I get that some people are into symbols: crosses and stars and polo ponies. But that flag bears about as much relation to the actual United States as a digital photograph of the sun has to the actual ball of hydrogen in the sky. Everyone probably knows the flagâ€™s stars represent the states, but what about the stripes and colors? I had no clue. A quick trip to the Betsy Ross home page at www.ushis tory.org, and I discovered The Awful Truth: â€œThere is no official designation or meaning for the colors of the flag.â€? The only person to take a whack at it was George Washington. In a moment of what could only have been hemp-inspired grandiloquence, the dude with

This baby definitely needs an Extreme Makeover. So, letâ€™s start by asking the question: What is the point and purpose of the Pledge in the first place? What is it used for â€” other than to start school children on their day with a nice group drone? I have no idea. I went to a little hippie high school in Oregon and never had to take a civics class, much less chant the POA. But I think it has something to do with re-affirming our commitment to citizenship, civic responsibility and ideals such as liberty and justice (and equality), upon which this country was founded. Which is nice. But my real concern over the Pledge springs from the slippery slope down which it could easily slide. There has been too much corralling of â€œwhat it means to be an Americanâ€? by red-blooded poseurs threatened by anyone who doesnâ€™t follow their authoritarian rule-set and ossified beliefs. I fear the POA getting turned into a narrowly defined metric of Homeland Loyalty, and that certain powers will start to strenuously demand

Francis Bellamy really wanted to include the word â€œequalityâ€? in the Pledge as well, but he knew that the rest of the committee was opposed to equality for women and â€œNegroes.â€? the wooden teeth declared the stars came from the sky, the red â€œfrom British colorsâ€? â€” whatever that means â€” and the white stripes symbolized seceding from England. Right. Back to the Pledge. And to the republic . . . Now, that just sounds too much like â€œRepublican,â€? and weâ€™re all way too het up over the current political divide to go anywhere near that one. Nevertheless, letâ€™s finish the sentence: . . . for which it stands. Now weâ€™re getting somewhere. Weâ€™re about to describe our country, i.e., the thing to which weâ€™re pledging our allegiance. Except, who knows what pledging allegiance actually means? Itâ€™s too vague. Moving right along: One nation. Duh. Got that. Under God. This is problematic for a whole lot of reasons, but I think Iâ€™ll hang my hat on the separation of church and state, as put forth in the First Amendment of the Constitution, and leave it at that. Indivisible. This is clearly theoretical. I mean, around which issue are we truly all united? With liberty and justice for all. Finally, the good part. But like I said, by now weâ€™re glazed over.

unquestioning support. Honestly, I donâ€™t think national allegiance is a bad thing â€” it just needs to be about loyalty to the country, not necessarily the government. The Declaration of Independence states that governments get â€œtheir just powers from the consent of the governed.â€? Which means none of us should be required to swear a blind pledge of faithfulness and obedience if we donâ€™t consent to, for example, a misbegotten, unjustified, militaristic, imperialist rampage. The POA is good in that it requires us to give some thought to the terms of our civic responsibility, but it was never intended to make individuals abrogate their forebrains. Resistance is not futile â€” in fact, when things are going astray, itâ€™s required â€” and the POA should reflect that. OK, letâ€™s get to the rewrite. First, the title. Iâ€™d like to trade â€œpledgeâ€? for â€œpromise.â€? We all know what â€œpromiseâ€? means, and what it feels like when one gets broken. No kid ever says, â€œAw, Dad! Why canâ€™t we go to the zoo? You pledged!â€? Allegiance is a tricky word. >> 24A

Technically, it has to do with fidelity and loyalty and, in some cases, obedience. But that becomes a problem when you run it up against the ideas of liberty and disagreeing with your government. So let’s just call this thing The Promise. Or, how about The American’s Promise?

ow does a town come to be? In the prologue to Strafford resident Catherine Tudish’s debut collection of short stories, it happens by accident. One day in 1765, fur trapper Lucius Tenney dozes off as his raft drifts down the Monongahela River in STORY MARGOT southwestern Pennsylvania. Caught in an HARRISON eddy, he wakes to find himself on a sandbar, gazing at a “long, wide expanse” of Tenney’s Landing virgin landscape. He promptly decides to by Catherine make it his homestead. Tudish. Scribner, Three hundred years later, the fictional 288 pages, $23. town of Tenney’s Landing has seen prosperity and decline — booming with the riverboats, then watching the new interstate highways steal its population, like other small towns across America. The “joke” of its name is a secret that died with Tenney, who never meant to land there at all. Accident has turned into manifest destiny. Which has more power in human lives: chance or choice? It’s a question that surfaces periodically in Tudish’s eight stories,

small town — the type of person who knows who’s coming, who’s going, who’s sleeping with whom, who let a good thing get away, and whose family mortally offended another’s half a century ago. More importantly, though, you’ll learn what the town gossip can’t tell you: how it felt. Tudish focuses on the inner lives of characters who seldom do anything more dramatic than break their daily routines: As literary towns go, Tenney’s Landing is closer to Winesburg, Ohio, than Peyton Place. But when these people do change their lifelong patterns, it matters. In “Pigeon,” a woman has a sudden hunch that there’s more to her husband’s quiet retirement than he’s letting on. When she tails him to the house of his high school crush, her former rival, she discovers a side of him she’s never seen, and we realize that this enduring marriage is built on a surprisingly fragile foundation. In “Killer,” an elderly woman in a nursing home tries in vain to remind people of a

each of which focuses on a significant moment in the life of a member or members of this community. The stories are set at different points in the second half of the 20th century, arranged with no particular regard for chronology; some feature flashbacks to earlier moments in the town’s history. Although they stand alone — as some of the stories have in local literary journals — they are linked by setting and cast of characters, with the protagonist of one story sometimes turning up as a minor character or footnote in another. By the end of the book, you may feel as if you’ve spent several hours chatting with the postmistress of a

long-ago act of violence that the town seems to have forgotten. Unlike some nostalgic small-town portraits, Tudish’s reflects the realities of life in the age of mobility. Not all the stories take place in Tenney’s Landing, and many of their characters are emigrants from or immigrants to the town, outsiders with no firm roots. In “Where the Devil Lost His Blanket,” town insider Elizabeth Tenney travels to Colombia to bury a neighbor she scarcely knows — an outsider — and finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the foreign landscape and the dead woman’s brother. In “Jordan’s Stand,” a young widow from out West befriends an elderly

farmer and becomes the heir he lost when his children fled to better lives elsewhere. In “The Dowry,” set in South Dakota, a no-nonsense sheep rancher explains to her young cousin why she “just wanted to get up and get the hell away” from Tenney’s Landing more than 25 years earlier. And in the final, novella-length story, that same cousin, older and wiser, closes the circle by leaving her yuppie marriage in Chicago and returning to the town of her forebears. Tudish’s writing evokes inevitable comparisons to that of acclaimed Canadian author Alice Munro. Besides their rural settings, both authors proceed at a leisurely pace, meticulously detailing lives of backbreaking chores and small pleasures. Both jump back and forth in time to

show how a tiny circumstance can derail a life or put it on track, and both are fascinated with the vagaries of love, particularly as experienced by women. The heroine of Tudish’s “The Springhouse” asks herself if love is simply lust and decides, “It was also a longing for something that might carry you into the future and not leave you stranded.” Tudish doesn’t fully share Munro’s ability to draw a vivid, satisfying romanticism from the everyday. Some of the parallels in her stories are strained, and the protagonist’s dilemma in the final novella is made too easy. But Tudish’s stories explore a wider range of character types than Munro’s. She traces the fault lines of class and status difference in Tenney’s Landing

with aplomb, refusing to idealize her setting. Rural Vermonters may recognize aspects of their own towns in Tenney’s Landing — the selfimportant notary public whose “clients came to consult her about toothache, corn weevils, infidelity”; the conflicts between farmers who want their road paved and weekenders who “wanted to keep the dirt road, ‘in order to preserve its rural character.’” Do you choose your town, or does it choose you? Lucius Tenney’s story suggests that even the most esteemed forefathers relied on a bit of luck. The other stories remind us that how you got where you are is less important than whether you can make it a home. 쩾

EXCERPT FROM “JORDAN’S STAND” [Jordan Eastman] travelled up and down the state, following the tree fellers, the drillers, the dynamiters, flattening the land from the high, protected seat of a bulldozer. It made him feel like a giant, he said. Most weeks he would be gone from Sunday night until Friday afternoon, sleeping in run-down motels, eating in diners. The evenings were hard. Usually he’d buy a newspaper and read it in his room until he got sleepy; sometimes he’d join the other men for a drink or two. When he got home on Fridays, Marie would be standoffish. He’d see that first glimmer of happiness in her eyes when he kissed her hello, then she’d tamp it down and get busy with the milking or fixing supper. Not even his first paycheck, which Jordan dropped triumphantly on the table, made her smile. From early spring until Christmas, Jordan worked on the highway, then they laid his crew off for the winter. He noticed that certain things had slipped at home; his milkers didn’t gleam the way they used to, shingles had blown off the barn roof and let the rain in. He spent the winter trying to set things right. Marie had hoped he wouldn’t go back to the highway next spring, but Jordan packed his bag again as soon as he got the foreman’s call. There was a moment one evening that second summer, Jordan

said, when he climbed down from his bulldozer and looked back over a stretch of land they’d been clearing. When he saw the raw earth churned up and the trees with their roots in the air, the farmhouses and barns now so close to the roadway, he wondered for the first time what they were doing. Still, he stayed with the crew for three years and fattened his account at the local bank. With his last check he bought Marie a gold brooch that she hid in a bureau drawer beneath her nightgowns. “It was probably ten years before she wore it,” he said. “If I had to do it over?” Jordan concluded, anticipating my question. “Hard to say.” He stretched and yawned, as if the story had tired him. “Change comes round, whether it comes on the interstate highway or some other route. I don’t really think about it anymore — it’s just there.” He stood up stiffly, using his gun to hoist himself. “Come on,” he said, heading toward a grove of poplars. I watched his back, noticing the slight stoop of his shoulders, the way he favored his right leg. He missed his children, I knew. One by one they’d left on the interstate, looking for bigger lives. He had two sons in Scranton, a daughter in Akron, seven or eight grandchildren he didn’t see very often.

RI$KY BU$INESS? It may not be legal, but online gambling is a hands-down hit story: cathy resmer

NOT ARRESTED YET: web designer Ben Smith

Shortly after nine on a recent Thursday night, in a house on a quiet street in Burlington, three single guys in their late twenties act out a classic American scene. The roommates turn on some reggae, break out a six-pack of microbrew and unwind by playing a few hands of poker. At least, the scene is nearly classic: Instead of gathering around a table, the friends lounge in a bedroom, in front of a computer screen. A copy of a highly technical poker manual lies on the bed — right next to an open copy of Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. The men are logged onto PokerStars.com, one of many online poker websites. They don’t play all at once; rather, they take turns at the computer. Every 20 minutes or so, one of them rotates out from the PC desktop and leaves the room to smoke a cigarette — or a joint — and one of the others takes his place. Sound dull? It’s not. Though they’re not playing each other, these guys, who insist on using colorful pseudonyms or “screen names” for this article, are betting against real people. “Hardell” gestures at the image of a green-felt table on the screen during a round of a low-stakes Texas Hold ’Em Tournament. He points out that his opponents come from all over the country. “I’m playing this guy from Bend, Oregon,” he says, “another guy from Mount Pearl, somewhere, and somebody from Knoxville. I’ve seen players from Alaska to South Africa to Bangladesh.” The Burlington group is also winning — and losing — real money. “Woland” logs on for a few hours nearly every day, and reports that he’s having a good week. “I’ve taken on $400,” he says. “That’s in my real bank account.” The actual gambling transaction is handled by the Royal Bank of Scotland, and then filtered through one of five online banking or credit-card services back to his account in the States. Some months, Woland makes enough to pay his rent; he once scored $700 in a single sitting. “But,” he says, “it should be noted I lost all of that.” A few hundred dollars seems like chump change compared

to the pot pocketed two weeks ago by a South Burlington player whose screen name is “Stonekiller.” According to a tournament leaderboard, he or she won a whopping $24,000. Not that that’s any kind of record. “Ralph,” the third member of the Burlington threesome, says he’s seen up to $120,000 in play on one game table. “There’s millions of dollars in cash being traded by people in their bedrooms,” he says. “It’s really awing, the kind of money floating around out there. It’s a ridiculous amount.” Ralph is not exaggerating. Online gambling — particularly online poker, which comprises the largest and fastest-growing sector of the industry — is wildly popular. On this Thursday night, the PokerStars site alone has attracted 46,770 users worldwide. Company spokesman Rich Korbin confirms that 245 PokerStars players are registered just in the 05401 zip code. A site called PartyPoker.com, run by PartyGaming PLC, boasts more than 121,000 registered users — up from just 105 users in 2002. According to an article in last Sunday’s New York Times, the entire online poker industry, which makes its money by skimming a small percentage off each pot, produced revenues of more than $1 billion last year, up from $92 million two years before. About 90 percent of that money is coming out of the pockets of American gamblers. In short, online poker has become a new national pastime, even though it’s probably illegal, and possibly dangerous.

The success of the online card game is entwined with the growing national obsession with live poker, particularly with the Texas Hold ’Em version of the game. In it, players get two of their own cards, and must make the best possible poker hand from five communal cards dealt face-up on the table. Players contribute to a rotating ante — a move called “posting the blinds” — and bet once before the communal cards are drawn, then after the “flop” of the first three cards, again after the fourth card is revealed, and again after the fifth. This game has saturated contemporary American culture. The televised World Series of Poker draws millions of viewers on ESPN. Texas Hold ’Em charity fundraisers — such as the one at the Elks Club in Burlington last weekend, or the one coming up the end of July at Nectar’s — are popping up all over. Even The New York Times has launched a weekly poker column. That obsession is fueling, and being fueled by, the online games, which are available anywhere, anytime, to anyone with an Internet connection. Bruce MacDonald, a spokesman for Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, calls Internet poker “a feeder market” for casino poker tables. He welcomes the boom in online poker, which he says is partly responsible for the increase in the game’s popularity at Foxwoods. The casino’s poker business grew 40 percent in the last year. Its 2003 Annual World Poker Tour Tournament had 311 players, with a $3 million pot; the 2004 event drew 674 players with a $6.7 million prize. “People will learn online, hone their skills,” MacDonald says, “then come to the casino to try them out in person.” But playing online also allows gamblers to save a trip to the casino. And it lets them game the system. It takes big bucks to buy a spot in some of these large tournaments — a buy-in to the World Series of Poker costs 10 grand. But if you play your cards right, you can win a seat at the table for considerably less by entering and winning online satellite tournaments. The aptly named Chris Moneymaker of Tennessee accomplished this feat in 2003. He paid $39 to enter a PokerStars satellite tournament and won his way into the final round of the World Series of Poker. He emerged victorious, walking away with a cool $2.5 million. The 2004 champ did the same. Hardell, Ralph and Woland clearly wouldn’t mind being the next Moneymaker, so to speak, but realistically, they’re just playing for kicks. Ralph admits that he rarely nets any cash on the games — in fact, he usually loses his initial investment. But he says he gets his money’s worth of entertain-

THE OBSTACLES TO BUILDING eBet Trying to launch the newest new thing in online gambling might make for a bumpy ride. In May, Colchester web designer and Champlain College adjunct instructor Ben Smith sent an email to a long list of recipients touting his latest design project: an innovative, peer-to-peer gambling site — www.poserFish.com — that’s scheduled to go live on July 4. Gamblers will register, subscribe to a PayPal-like online banking service, and name the terms of their bet — anything from the outcome of a Sox-Yankees game to who will fill the next vacancy on the Supreme Court. Smith says his is unique among gambling sites, that it’s less seedy gambling than an extension of the nearly universally accepted concept of a “friendly bet.” In fact, the signature graphic in the upper left-hand corner of the site shows two blue hands locked in a friendly shake. Smith points out that the site has more in common with eBay than with an online casino. Like the online auction site, which helps sellers find buyers for their used goods, poserFish will help bettors find someone, somewhere, to take them up on their wager. “We’re not the house,” explains Smith enthusiastically. “We’re not betting against them. We’re the environment that allows people to bet amongst themselves.” But not everyone is so keen on the project. Smith, a founding partner in the web design and hosting firm Silicon Dairy, sent the message from his ben@silicondairy.net address. So when he announced, “We have launched a new website,” many of his recipients thought the email came from Silicon Dairy. It didn’t. Smith hasn’t worked with them since March, and the company has been quick to distance itself from his latest venture. In a follow-up email, Smith said the company “abruptly terminated” his email address. A spokesman from the company confirmed this action, citing a violation of its spam policy. In a statement emailed to Seven Days, Silicon Dairy strongly denied any affiliation with poserFish. The firm’s reaction is grounded in the gambling site’s legal status. “A questionably legal site such as poserFish.com goes against everything Silicon Dairy, LLC stands for,” reads the missive. “Silicon Dairy, LLC has never and will never

ment. “I’ve put $250 in, and I’ve been able to play about $3000 worth of poker,” Ralph says. “That’s not bad.” It’s true, the fast-paced game offers its share of thrills. Each hand might last less than a minute, with “cards” turning over quickly, at which point you might call for — with the click of a mouse — 25 cents, or raise the pot by $25, or $2500, depending on the “table” where you’ve chosen to play. Says Hardell, “You go all in on that fourth card, and you’re sitting on the edge of your seat, yelling, ‘No queen, no queen!’ Then, bam! — you just won $300.” Woland compares the feeling to a cocaine high. “It can seem from an outside perspective that we’re sitting at our fucking computers doing nothing,” he says. “But when there’s money on the line, it’s exciting. Your heart pounds.”

develop, host or promote any site deemed inappropriate.” Though Smith and his Arizona partners — his friends Tim Ashton and Steve Kirby — insist that the site is “absolutely” legal, Vermont’s Assistant Attorney General and the head of the Criminal Division for the Department of Justice beg to differ. They say it sounds like a violation of anti-gambling laws. Ashton counters that the company is registered in Costa Rica, not the U.S., and so American anti-gambling rules don’t apply. Furthermore, his lawyers tell him poserFish is legit. But they’ve also warned him to expect that the site’s legality will be challenged. Ashton muses that he’s “sort of looking forward to it.” Ultimately, he scoffs at the idea that anti-gambling forces will succeed in putting the site out of business. “Outlawing the poserFish network is like outlawing a bet between two friends over a football game,” he claims. “There’s just not enough power behind the anti-gaming lobby to make that kind of change to our constitutional rights,” Ashton adds. “You can’t outlaw friendly bets. The citizens won’t stand for it.” But the site’s legality isn’t the only thing its creators have to worry about. There’s also the censorship issue. “Someone inevitably will bet on something like the death of the pope, or the outcome of the Michael Jackson trial,” says Ashton. “Where do we draw the line? We’re not sure. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” And there’s the Mob. Ashton says he’s heard stories about representatives of organized crime families opposing any newfangled gambling operations. “These types do show up at your place,” he notes ominously. There’s even the fear of success — if they get too big too fast, they might not be able to handle the traffic. That’s partly why they’ve designed a system they can easily sell to someone else. So, despite Ashton’s bluster about constitutional rights, in the end, these guys are like any other gamblers — looking for a way to make a quick buck. “I guess we’re kind of hoping for a buyout before anything gets too big,” he says. — C.R.

Is all this heart-pounding action legal? It depends on whom you ask. Rich Korbin, a spokesman for PokerStars, hesitates before he answers the question. Speaking on the phone from the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas — where he’s watching the 2005 World Series of Poker Tournament — Korbin finally replies: “I say yes. But I think if you asked 20 attorneys that question, you might get 10 yeses and 10 nos.” He adds, as an afterthought, “We invite people to check with their local jurisdiction.” Attorneys and law enforcement officers in Vermont say the activity is absolutely illegal. And it’s easy to see why. After all, gambling outside of Native American casinos is prohibited in most states, including this one. There are exceptions for certain nonprofit events, in which a percentage of the proceeds goes to charity. And it’s legal to organ-

ize a March Madness office pool, for example, provided that the winner takes all the profits or donates them to charity. But in Vermont, it’s not even legal to play cards with your friends in the privacy of your own home, or bet on the outcome of a game, whether you’re playing volleyball in Battery Park or shooting craps in Roosevelt. And you certainly can’t just set up a casino on Church Street. So how could it be legal to bet thousands of dollars over a wireless Internet connection while sitting in a downtown Burlington café? It’s not, according to attorney Paul Van de Graff, chief of the Criminal Division for Vermont’s Department of Justice. But he concedes that the situation is confusing. The problem, he explains, is that anti-gambling laws were written well before the digital age. >> 30A

“Traditional gambling cases are mostly Mob cases,” dealing with old-fashioned “numbers rackets,” Van de Graff says. The laws weren’t designed to apply to the complicated dealings of online gambling operations, which are largely based overseas. PokerStars, for example, is registered as a corporation in Costa Rica, though Korbin says most of its employees live in Europe. Their clients do their banking offshore. Van de Graff and other prosecutors say the statute most likely to apply in this case is called the Interstate Wireline Act, also known simply as the Wire Act. It outlaws the use of wire communication for wagering on “sporting events or contests.” But it’s still unclear whether the law applies to guys playing poker in a bedroom

The bottom line? It’s more or less safe — if not necessarily legal — to ante up online, at least until law enforcement agencies decide to crack down on the practice. Or until legislators rewrite the laws to specifically target online gamblers. Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl has been trying to do just that for years, without success. In fact, last year, the World Trade Organization ruled against the U.S., maintaining that American laws criminalizing online gambling actually violate international law. That’s good news for gamblers, according to Tim Ashton, a web developer who’s about to launch an online gambling site called poserFish, where people can make so-called “friendly bets” on the contest or event of their choice. He is frankly unafraid of a legisla-

Rosinsky cautions that online gambling is, in many ways, more dangerous than the live kind. “For one thing, it’s so accessible,” he says. “And gambling is like drinking and drugging: A lot of it is done in secret. Online, you’re in private. There’s nobody looking over your shoulder saying, ‘Are you nuts?’” Rosinsky enumerates three stages of problem gambling. First, the Winning stage, in which the gambler takes realistic, reasonable risks. “It’s like being a social drinker,” he says. “If it’s not affecting your life, you’re fine.” Some gamblers never proceed from here, but the ones that do enter the Losing stage, in which they begin to make bigger bets to cover their losses. “This is like someone who says, ‘I’ll have one

in Burlington, because the argument hasn’t been tested in court. In fact, Van de Graff says, though Vermonters are obviously participating, he has yet to receive an online gambling case from any federal agency, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Ditto for the State’s Attorney General’s Office. Assistant Attorney General John Treadwell says it appears that winning or losing money online would qualify as a misdemeanor under Vermont law, but he hasn’t gotten any cases from the local police. South Burlington Police Sgt. Peter LaVallee says that’s probably because no one has complained about it, at least not to his department. The issue is not on their radar screen yet. LaVallee seemed surprised to hear that a South Burlington resident recently won $24,000 online. When asked if such a person is likely to be apprehended and charged, he replies, “I wouldn’t think so.” LaVallee thinks Stonekiller ought to be more worried about reporting those earnings to the IRS. “The taxman cometh,” he warns. Bill McSalis, Supervisory Special Agent for the FBI in Vermont, says his department “hasn’t had any illegal Internet gambling operations brought to our attention.” Nor has the FBI spent much time researching online gambling here, because, McSalis says, “We allocate resources based on the priority of threats.” This is also the agency responsible for investigating kidnapping, medical fraud and terrorism; a seemingly victimless crime such as online gambling takes a backseat to homeland security. McSalis seems eager to act on any tips he may receive, however.

tive crackdown. “The industry thinking seems to be that the voices fighting against [online gambling] have been trying to outlaw it for 10 years, and it hasn’t gone anywhere,” Ashton says in a phone interview from Phoenix. “It’s not going to go anywhere.”

The argument over whether online gambling is legal obscures the larger question of whether it should be. Burlingtonbased addictions counselor Joel Rosinsky believes the practice should be outlawed. “Personally, I don’t see the upside to this,” he says. Rosinsky is one of two licensed gambling-addiction counselors in the state; the other is Joy Mitchell, a Bellows Falls therapist, who works for the Vermont Council on Problem Gambling. Both report an increase in calls over the past two years — Rosinsky says online gambling now accounts for 25 to 30 percent of his. He is adamant that online gambling is “a major, major problem . . . bigger than anybody is aware of.” And, unlike his usual middle-aged and elderly clientele, the online gamblers are often college kids and teenagers. One older Vermonter contacted Rosinsky recently “in a fit of desperation.” The man, a smallbusiness owner, had lost $250,000 in one day playing online poker. “He had lost his home, lost his business,” Rosinsky remembers. “He called me feeling suicidal.” The counselor, who says he never heard from the man again, notes that problem gamblers have a much higher suicide rate than alcoholics or other addicts.

drink,’ and ends up having six,” suggests Rosinsky. Finally, there’s the Desperation stage. “That’s when the house has three mortgages and has been repossessed,” he says. “The car’s gone, the family’s gone, the police are after you.” This kind of talk is unwelcome in the Burlington apartment where the online poker players swap stories of pots lost and won. None of these guys has progressed to stage three on the problem-gambling spectrum, but it’s pretty clear that Woland is borderline stage two. He readily admits he’s addicted to online poker. “I don’t know if I have full-blown, total addiction,” he clarifies, “but the craving is there. The jones is there.” Woland admits he doesn’t keep track of how much money he puts in — “I probably don’t want to.” But he estimates he’s at least $500 behind, which is a lot of money for him. “I fuck up because I drink a lot when I play,” he confides. “It’s a dumb idea . . . I can lose a lot really fast.” Woland also confesses that he wants to remain anonymous not from fear of prosecution, but because he’s “not proud” of what he’s doing. But his shame vanishes when he sees the next flop — he gets two fours, and the table gets a 10, a four and a seven. “Now we’re going to make some money,” he murmurs. Meanwhile, Hardell, who has left the room, pokes his head back in to say he just saw a PokerStars commercial during the Red Sox game. How can this be illegal, he asks, if they’re advertising it on TV? Hardell just doesn’t believe that anyone will arrest him for playing cards online. So far, that seems like a safe bet. m

The two runaways join forces and raft down the river. They are aiming for the Ohio River junction at Cairo, where Jim can head north for the free states to work and earn enough money to buy his wife and two children out of slavery. To avoid capture, Huck and Jim travel only at night. But they overshoot Cairo in a fog, wind up deeper in the slaveholding South, and take aboard two scruffy stranded noblemen — the “King” and the “Duke” — who turn out to be royal con men.

Big River succeeds because it captures both the absurdist humor and the moving core of the story, faithfully hewing to Twainâ€™s text while enhancing its emotional impact with a raft of good songs. powerful duets â€” â€œMuddy Water,â€? â€œRiver in the Rainâ€? and â€œWorlds Apartâ€?â€” give a rich clarity to the spiritual connection between Huck and Jim. Dwelvan David gave a dynamic performance as Jim, a character whom society views as simple, but whose inner world is rich, complex and troubled. Davidâ€™s broad face and flashing eyes communicated the savvy beneath Jimâ€™s surface naivetĂŠ, especially his prescient understanding of the natural world and innate sense about people. He also expressed Jimâ€™s pain at his forcible separation from his family. This, more than anything, is what helps Huck see Jim as a man, rather than a piece of Miss Watsonâ€™s property. The warmth and robustness of Davidâ€™s voice expressed his

character eloquently. When he sang â€œFree at Lastâ€? near the end of the show, Jimâ€™s conviction and passion was palpable to the audience. Huck and Jimâ€™s duets were musical and emotional high points of Big River â€” and their voices blended with buttery richness. â€œWorlds Apartâ€? is a potent song with universal resonance: â€œI see the same stars through my window / You see through yours . . . / I see the same sky through brown eyes / That you see through blue.â€? It was a testament to the singersâ€™ professionalism that they stayed on course despite the trumpetâ€™s off-key entry midway through the song. The occasional rough patch from that instrument was the only weak spot in Tom Clearyâ€™s

otherwise solid sextet, which created a sound much larger than its size. Huck struggles with his conscience about helping â€œstealâ€? Jim out of slavery, but the essential morality of his quest is thrown into relief by the utter amorality of the King and the Duke, played with comic gusto by Kenneth Kimmins and Bill Farley. â€œThey had as many schemes as a possum does ticks,â€? Huck soon realizes. The â€œroyalâ€? rogues incited a laugh riot, but Kimmins often overmatched Farley: His singing was stronger, his dancing more precise, his con more convincing, even when the Duke was supposed to be teaching him the game. Jason Nettle as Tom Sawyer was also a comic highlight: >> 34A

charming but harebrained, secure in his self-importance. Tom is a dreamer, a hatcher of impossibly elaborate schemes; Huck doesn’t so much plan his adventures as stumble into them and muddle through. Another key supporting player, John Alexander, played Pap with a broad odiousness, and sang a brilliantly bluesy, syncopated version of his drunken rant, “Guv’ment.” Sets, lighting and costuming all served to enhance the storytelling. The backdrop, painted Hudson River School-style, was especially effective; it glowed or receded as the lighting changed. Multiple stage levels allowed for plenty of motion, and the moving raft worked well. Problems with the wireless body microphones did prove a minor distraction throughout the show. While the lead characters’ sound levels were mostly consistent, some of the supporting actors’ mikes performed erratically. The feed dimmed

play conceit, and to begin to sort out who some of the dozenplus main characters are. In Act I, Edwin Drood, a young Londoner of means, is visiting the town of Cloisterham, home of his fiancée Rosa Bud and his beloved uncle John Jasper. In the course of his holiday visit, he manages to alienate just about everyone in town who doesn’t already have a secret reason to loathe him. After a dark and stormy Christmas Eve, Drood vanishes and his bloodied overcoat turns up by the river. Act II assembles all the unusual suspects, and lets the audience decide who done it. To say the cast sang, danced and acted with enthusiasm is a gross understatement; the players threw themselves headlong into the farcical mayhem. No entendre went undoubled. Eyebrows arched archly; puns were punishing. High-kicking choreographic horseplay ensued. It was all hams on deck.

spent two months growing out squirrelly, authentic Victorian muttonchops. Others in the cast cultivated their character’s beards as well: no prosthetic facial hair for the men of the Valley Players! In addition, Wockley created props and assisted with set construction, one of many in the cast who also served on the crew. The Gilbert & Sullivan-esque music of Drood is intricate and demanding — more English operetta than Broadway musical. The ensemble mostly rose to the challenge. The strongest singers were Michael LeMay as the leering and lascivious Jasper, Andrea Bonamico as virginal vixen Rosa Bud, and Pam White as Princess Puffer — mistress of the London opium den where Jasper is a frequent flier — who laments: “You can’t fill your coffers with the wages of sin.” Music director and pianist Tim Guiles ably led the sevenperson band through the complex score. But the instruments

when someone removed a hat, turned his head sharply, or sometimes for no apparent reason at all. At the end of the show, Huck reflects on his Mississippi voyage before planning his next adventure. “Considerable trouble, considerable joy — that’s how it fell out, just like Jim’s fortune predicted.” Big River is a joyful journey, worthy of a trip up — or down — the mighty Winooski. A madcap murder mystery unfolds by Waitsfield’s Mad River with the Valley Players’ gleeful production of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Under the artful direction of Ruth Ann Pattee, the eager troupe does its bawdy best in Rupert Holmes’ quirky musical take on Charles Dickens’ unfinished last novel. Despite a few rough edges, the ambitious and unusual show’s blithe spirit delighted the audience. The play’s plot is virtually impossible to summarize. Set in 1892, the action occurs onstage at the Music Hall Royale, where the premiere of The Mystery of Edwin Drood is taking place. Each performer plays a member of the Victorian acting company and the character that the 19thcentury thespian is playing in the Music Hall production of Drood. Got it? It takes a while to establish the play-within-a-

As Chairman of the Music Hall, Jack Bradt presided with sly affability over the self-conscious silliness. He doubled as the senescent Mayor Sapsea, sometimes jumping between roles within the same sentence with a swift lift of his bowler hat. Jake Barickman’s vulpine reserve as the angular Anglican, Reverend Crisparkle, hinted at a steamy secret under his clerical collar. Thomas Badowski incorporated broad, Keystone-Cop body language as the nightstickwielding bobby, Horace, but as actor Montague Pruitt, he suavely let female audience members know he was available for “rent” after the show. Actors delivered puns and portents with flippant flourish. During the climactic Christmas Eve feast at Jasper’s house, interrupted by melodramatically loud thunder effects, tensions escalate between all the main characters. Drood is especially aggrieved by young Neville Landless: “While your metaphors seem stale, your manners seem uncommonly fresh.” When Jasper apologizes for subpar wine, another guest demurs, after a booming thunderclap: “Any port in a storm.” At a particularly overwrought moment, the servant Bazzard announces the poultry’s arrival ominously enough to let on whose goose is really cooked. In the relatively minor role of Bazzard, Bryan Wockley exemplified the cast’s dedication. He

sometimes overwhelmed the vocalists: In the small space, lighter voices struggled to be heard over the horns and drums. This detracted from the storytelling, since characters exposed their secrets through song. Singers with clarion diction and forceful projection, like LeMay and Bonamico, could always be understood. And Pattee creatively staged some numbers at floor level, in front of the musicians, which helped make lyrics more audible. The set design was surprisingly innovative, given the square theater’s close quarters. Scene changes were sometimes slow and noisy, but Guiles improvised amusingly at the keyboard to fill the gaps. One crowd-pleasing detail was the crypt that slid in dramatically from the back of the house for the graveyard scenes. Costumes cascaded with brocade, ruffles and lace, and makeup had an exaggerated theatricality. The Mystery of Edwin Drood exemplifies what keeps community theater vibrant in Vermont: enthusiastic lovers of the stage are willing to commit hundreds of hours to entertain fellow townspeople. With a talented and fun-loving troupe like the Valley Players, it’s no mystery why frolicking in front of the footlights is thriving in the Green Mountains. m

Theater review: The Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged), Augenblick Theatre

2x4-skirack062205

f brevity is the soul of wit, it explains why “The Daily Show” is doing really, really well and Ulysses is not on everyone’s nightstand. Or at least it explains why The Reduced Shakespeare Company found a winning franchise in its Complete Works of Wllm Shkspr STORY PAMELA (Abridged). More than a decade ago, the POLSTON founding trio of RSC created their signature work, which evolved from quickie renditions of Romeo and Juliet performed on a California IMAGES beach. Now Complete Works has a permanent HALLEY presence in London and New York, touring BAGLEY casts bring the work to stages everywhere — including the Flynn Center — and RSC conThe Complete tinues to condense other epic stories, such as Works of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged), the history of the U.S. and the Bible. written by The works are smartly hilarious and, of Adam Long, course, fast-paced. So fast that the occasional Daniel Singer raunchy aside sails over the heads of small and Jess Winfield, children while they’re still laughing at the silly directed by Stacy Reid Erickson, costumes, ridiculous wigs and over-the-top improv. While a moderate familiarity with produced by Augenblick Theatre. Shakespeare probably enhances enjoyment of Vergennes Opera Complete Works, first-graders find it screamHouse. ingly funny, and even the most sullen teenagJune 23-25. er can enjoy the play’s unfettered irreverence. Et voilà — perfect family entertainment. That formula certainly worked last week at the Vergennes Opera House: Addison County’s brand-new Augenblick Theatre Company did Reduced Shakespeare proud in their debut three-night run of Complete Works, produced and directed by Stacy Reid Erickson. Actors Jory Raphael (Erickson’s husband), Matt Schlein and Tim Andrews demonstrated that zipping through all 37 of the Bard’s plays in under two hours is not for the faint of heart or the physically unfit. Nor for anyone with a shred of inhibition. After a hammy, flight-attendant-meetsevangelist intro, Complete Works begins with a 35-minute Romeo and Juliet; Hamlet essentially comprises the second act of the show — and includes an interactive “workshop” with Ophelia’s id, ego and superego. Imagine an audience chanting on command “Cut the crap; my biological clock is ticking and I want babies now!” In between those two classics, the Augenblick cast makes mincemeat of the rest of Shakespeare’s oeuvre (somber scholars may not want to watch). Quite a few of the plays get very short shrift: the histories, for example. They’re simply too boring. The 16 comedies are compacted into a single, 10-minute sit-

com called The Love Boat Goes to Verona. Titus Andronicus — from Shakespeare’s “blood and guts” period — is served up as a TV cooking show. With “apologies for being honkies,” the Augenblick three deliver Othello in rap — with oversized, bling-bling chains and backwards baseball caps tossed over their basic outfits of knicker-length cargos, blousy white shirts, black tights and Converse hightops. With such full-throttle humor, it’s only afterwards you realize the actors have demonstrated an impressive command of the Bard’s actual text. Of course, Elizabethan dialogue goes down easy when Tybalt is dressed as Darth Vader, Richard III is the “hunchback” in a pickup football game, and Juliet’s poison is a bottle of Nyquil. And when the actors slip in a malapropism like “A nose by any other name . . .” Keeping a straight face in this show has got to be a lot harder than memorizing the zillions of lines. Schlein, who sometimes has the narrator/MC role, recalls Harry Shearer (This Is Spinal Tap) in looks, intoning voice and deadpan control. Raphael resembles a cross between Matt Damon and Jerry Lewis, with the latter’s large mouth, immensely expressive face and gift for physical comedy. His portrayal of screaming damsels gives new meaning to “unhinged.” Though a degree less manic, the innocent-looking Andrews is equal to the task of being funny, and he reveals a charming vulnerability. It’s a stretch to imagine any of these guys being serious, but Erickson says Augenblick will consider dramatic works — even “by-thebook” Shakespeare — in the future. For now the company has booked Complete Works this summer at the Basin Harbor Club and is looking for more venues for the show around Vermont. Though it’s not strictly community theater, Augenblick’s mission is to “serve our immediate community and surrounding area” with works that “fit the demographic,” says Erickson. This will include some arts-education programming at the Vergennes Opera House, where she’s the rentals manager, as well as regionally relevant plays. “We want to develop our own snapshot of life in Vermont,” Erickson says, “through the avenue of theater.” If Augenblick can, as they put it, “make musty, 400-year-old plays relevant to a modern audience,” aythg is psbl. m

BIRTHDAY BAND

JASON COOLEY ON THE PAVEMENT IN FRONT OF RADIO BEAN

RIDIN’ THE BUS If you didn’t catch the triumphant return of Jason Cooley, a.k.a. Schoolbus, last Saturday at Radio Bean, you missed one of the greatest rock spectacles I’ve seen in a while. Cooley — who was up from the Big Apple for a Led/Loco gig — played a few tunes in between Swale sets and, let me tell you, the man’s got spirit. I really had no idea what he had in store, but my bets were on Fisher-Price electronica and guitar drones. Hardly. Cooley started off pretty mellow, playing some cover tunes singer-songwriter-style, before launching into a spiky rendition of “Yeah,” by dance-punk assassins LCD Soundsystem. With Swale backing him up, Cooley wailed the tune’s chorus, “yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah,” like a feral child. Swinging the microphone from its cord wildly, he stepped out unto North Winooski Ave., taunting patrons and passersby, before collapsing to the asphalt and writhing uncontrollably. A drag queen dressed like Janis Joplin kept trying to horn in on the act, but Cooley wasn’t having any of it. The song went on for quite some time, with Amanda Gustafson’s maniacal keyboard adding extra edge to the tune’s driving disco backbeat. Next up was a cover of John Lennon’s primal scream classic “Mother.” Swale tore into the tune like there was no tomorrow, as Cooley underwent a rock ’n’ roll catharsis that would’ve made Lennon proud. He disappeared immediately after the set, but Swale came back up with a sound to soothe those who dared stick around. No word yet on whether the normally mild-mannered musician has recovered. Is this what the big city does to a man?

NOW OPEN SUNDAYS! COME ENJOY OUR OUTSIDE SEATING!

It’s hard to believe that garage-pop sweethearts Missy Bly turns 7 years old this week — where does the time go? Despite rare live appearances, the group’s catchy, literate tunes have earned them a place in the hearts of music fans in Burlington and beyond. Their CD Clean Bee is one of my all-time local favorites, and I know I’m not alone. Missy Bly celebrate the anniversary of their live debut Thursday, June 30, at Club Metronome. Joining them for the festivities will be eclectic troublemakers Incest (featuring Ryan and Joe Power), and indie-popsters Colin Clary & The Magogs. In addition to founding members Creston Lea and Missy, the band has featured a bevy of illustrious drummers over the years. Alumni include former Firehouse curator Pascal Spengemann, who now runs his own gallery in New York City; drum tech to the stars and Charles, Dead or Alive? percussionist Joe Paul Slaby; talented songwriter/producer Ryan Power; and musical changeling Neil Cleary, who is currently singer-songwriter Erin McKeown’s drummer boy. McKeown — with Cleary in tow — appears at Higher Ground next week, but that’s another story. Ryan Power mans the kit for the Metronome gig, but I wonder who else might turn up to party? Here’s hoping the band releases another disc before it turns 10 — one album per decade is simply not enough. Happy birthday, Missy Bly. Don’t eat too much cake.

BLUES REBIRTH Local blues fans probably remember the Monday Night Blues Jam at The Roadhouse in Stowe. Hosted by the Mighty Blues Workshop, the jam was a popular statewide attraction until the club burned down a few years back. Founding member Michael Bernal thinks it’s time to bring it back. “I’ve been on the road a lot, and since I’ve been home for a little while, I thought we’d give it a shot,” he says. “It’s kind of an arts and education thing. There’s a lot of talented young players around, and this is a way to get them involved.” Originally from San Francisco, guitarist/bassist

Got any plans for this Saturday night? How ’bout the next one, and the one after that? With all the cool stuff lined up for the Third Annual Richmond Green Film Festival, you might want to leave your weekend plans open for a while. The ever-popular event features music, visual art and a movie every Saturday night in July. Musicians scheduled to appear include blues-and-roots artist Sue Foley, acoustic crooners The Warrens, the Aaron Levinson Jazz Trio, “one man Afrograss folkrock ensemble” Arthur Lee Land, Richmond rockers Planet Escape, the hard-workin’ Abby Jenne and her band, singer-songwriter Sean Hood, guitar whiz Eden Kelley, and bluegrass maestros Jamie Masefield & Doug Perkins. For those who like to conserve “green,” the event is solar-powered. Best of all, it’s free. The whole shebang kicks off Saturday, July 2, with Kelley and Masefield & Perkins performing at 6:30 p.m., after which The Wizard of Oz will be projected on a huge screen. Stoners, take note: Pink Floyd will not provide the soundtrack. Other scheduled films in the series include geek-chic masterpiece Napoleon Dynamite, faux-quantum extravaganza What the Bleep Do We Know? and Tim Burton’s tearjerking fable Big Fish. So return those Netflix and start popping the corn.

KEEP IT CASUAL :: Burlingtonâ€™s The Casual Fiasco arenâ€™t easily pigeonholed. Equal parts jam-pop, reggae and roots-rock, the bandâ€™s sound has been compared to that of G. Love, The Police and The Talking Heads. Theyâ€™ve been gaining serious momentum lately, playing to bigger and bigger audiences throughout New England. TCFâ€™s latest disc, Prototype, has already sold a couple thousand copies â€” not bad for a band whose members are in their early twenties. Hear â€™em at Nectarâ€™s Wednesday, June 29, with Frog CafĂŠ, as part of their ongoing midweek â€œresidency.â€?

MIKE DOUGHTY, HAUGHTY MELODIC

NOBBY REED PROJECT, MOONLIGHT DRIVIN’ (NRP/Living Room Records, CD)

(Ato Records, CD)

Back in the ’90s, Soul Coughing wowed fans with their wordy, avant-jazz-hop. Although they bore something in common with Beck and Cake — also geeky white boys with hip-hop leanings — nobody sounded quite like them. Former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty is now elbow-deep in a solo career, which finds him trading edgy originality for safe, singer-songwriter stylings. His latest effort, Haughty Melodic, isn’t a bad album. But considering his past, it’s a shame it’s not better. The disc kicks off with “Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well.” Acoustic and electric guitars strum and chime together to good effect, but gone is the sparse tension that was the hallmark of Soul Coughing’s sound. Although Doughty still prefers simple backbeats, he employs a lot of musicians to flesh out his new compositions. His trademark monotone vocals are catchy, but his penchant for repeating a single phrase over and over keeps him from really blossoming as a songwriter. Instead of developing his own sound, Doughty seems to be riding the coattails of several of his ’90s peers. “Unsingable Name” is reminiscent of a Matthew Sweet ballad, while “Madeline & Nine,” “I Hear the Bells” and “Sunken Eyed Girl” channel Counting Crows vocalist Adam Duritz. Considering the dredge that they’ve released lately, the Crows would probably love to have these tunes. Doughty should be able to come up with better, however. And the imitation continues: “White Lexus” and “American Car” evoke The Wallflowers’ Jakob Dylan. Although these are the two best cuts on Haughty Melodic, this is true only in the sense that The Wallflowers are better than Counting Crows. The rest of the disc floats by in a generally pleasant manner, save for two absolute clunkers. “Busting Up a Starbucks” goes nowhere musically while for some reason taking a shot at forgotten “Dawson’s Creek” star James VanDerbeek. Even worse is “Tremendous Brunettes,” in which Doughty duets with Dave Matthews. Which of the two is using this as a credibility grab is tough to gauge. If Doughty’s intent was to make an album that didn’t sound like his old band, he has succeeded. The problem is, it sounds like other people’s old bands. Instrumental embellishment was a step in the right direction; now he needs to find his own voice. Doughty plays the Higher Ground Ballroom on Saturday, July 2, with Ray LaMontagne.

JAKE RUTTER

Vermont blues-rock institutions The Nobby Reed Project have earned a reputation as one of the area’s top club acts, largely due to their leader’s passionate guitar playing and rugged vocals. The trio’s latest, Moonlight Drivin,’ is another dose of shuffle-blues and no-nonsense rock ’n’ roll. The disc is sure to delight longtime fans, and maybe even entice some new ones. Reed’s style invites comparisons to late electricblues virtuoso Stevie Ray Vaughn, but plenty sets the Green Mountain axeman apart. First of all, he’s a surprisingly versatile singer, delivering both pop harmonies and Gregg Allman-style howls with ease. Moonlight Drivin’ contains several barroom classics, such as the title track and the aptly named “Blues Train.” While Reed’s guitar work on those tunes is commendable, he truly shines on the Santana-esque composition “Morning Glory.” His impeccable phrasing provides a scorching example of the electric guitar’s versatility; the track is a diamond in this blue-collar rough. The laid-back groove of “I Wish You Peace” is sweet and mellow, featuring smooth harmonies and a vibe reminiscent of late ’60s West Coast rock. “You Are” boasts richly textured background vocals and lead guitar work recalling that of Peter Green and Roy Buchanan. Drummer Eric Belrose and bassist/harmonica player Tim Comings lay down a solid foundation, steering clear of flashy fills and showy runs. “Common Ground” gives Comings a little more room to maneuver, however. A crawling, minor-key blues number, the tune features a slinky bass line that nicely complements Reed’s sultry licks. The lyrics leave a bit to be desired, but nobody listens to this kind of stuff for deep prose. Though “Powerful Thing” supplies some stinging lead guitar, for example, Reed’s vocal refrain is patently unoriginal. OK, we know you’ve got the blues — do you have to tell us so many times? To be fair, the album’s shortcomings are merely those of the genre itself. Reed and bandmates possess enough musical muscle to plow through the clichés with their dignity intact. Moonlight Drivin’ would sound great over beers and a game of pool, but there’s still plenty of nuance if you’re listening for it. Hear NRP Friday, July 1, at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford.

CALL TO ARTISTS

Eyes on the Prizes

A EXHIBIT Northern Vermont Artist Association: A 75th annual juried show in multiple media. Bryan Memorial Art Gallery, Jeffersonville. Through July 10.

ARTWORK “Windswept” by Craig Wiltse

PHOTO Marc Awodey

nyone who thinks the Northern Vermont Artist Association is filled only with landscape painters should visit Jeffersonville’s Bryan Memorial Art Gallery this July. The NVAA’s 75th annual juried show is underway, and while landscape enthusiasts will certainly love the diamond jubilee, the eclectic exhibition also provides a few surprises. Among the roughly 100 works by 50 NVAA members are pieces in every medium, and they aren’t all amateur renditions of Vermont’s bucolic loveliness. This is a topnotch, professional show, and, if the catchphrase “diversity is strength” has merit, the NVAA is getting stronger every year. Fifteen awards were granted by the 2005 jurors — Lillian Zuber, director of The Art Gallery at Stowe, central Vermont installation artist Janet Van Fleet, and St. Michael’s College Professor Emeritus Dr. William Tortolano. While prize-worthiness is always subjective, most of the jury’s choices are easy to agree with. An American Pen Women Award, funded through the National League of American Pen Women, was granted to abstractionist Lyna Lou Nordstrom for her black-andwhite solar-plate etching “Markings Triptych.” This technique creates imagery by placing transparencies onto photosensitive plates in sunlight; they’re then etched with water in a nontoxic process. The three panels

of Nordstrom’s triptych are framed together horizontally. The fattest passages of markmaking anchor each end, while a flurry of thin, stringy, tangled lines animates the triptych’s center. Nordstrom’s pictorial organization could be likened to the A-B-A sonata form in music, with the first part of the image echoed, but not copied, in the third. A more direct reference to music appears in the work of NVAA Merit Award winner Jane Desjardin. She must have executed her energetic abstraction on paper, “To Music,” with her entire arm, as if conducting an orchestra. Desjardin guided broad, black brush strokes over a sepia-toned picture plane, then placed more delicate, calligraphic splatters of white along the lower edge of the painting. A completely different approach to acrylics appears in Valerie Ugro’s long, narrow, horizontal vista “Mt. Ellen.” It too won one of the show’s four NVAA Merit Awards. In Ugro’s traditional mountain portrait, a forest wilderness in early winter lays at the base of a hulking summit, which is scarred by ski trails already laced with sugary powder. More than a half-dozen other landscapes also won awards, ranging from the mildly expressionistic “View of the Hump” by Marilyn James, to a light-drenched oil, “Vermont Sunset,” by Lee Croghan.

The most puzzling prize is the biggest: Best in Show. After all, Charles Woodard’s “Ayrshire Select” is just an archconservative rendition of a red-and-white cow relaxing in her stall. What presumably impressed the jurors was Woodard’s technical mastery of pastels. He has blessed the bovine with sensitive, if somewhat sentimental, luminosity. Woodard’s composition, which includes steep angles at both lower left and upper right, was probably another point in the work’s favor. Beyond that, all one can say about it is: “Yup, she sure looks like a cow.” Craig Wiltse’s large oil, entitled “Windswept,” wasn’t among the prize-winners, but the neo-surreal fantasy forest of gnarled, twisted forms is one of the highlights of the show. Wiltse invented, rather than rendered or reinterpreted, a landscape. His bushy treetops carpet an arboreal world, while the trees beneath seem more like roots than trunks. Ultimately, invention is what elevates engaging landscapes above lackluster ones, and Wiltse’s vision is among the most original in the exhibition. The Jurors’ Statement accompanying this exhibition says choices were made in part based on “originality, light, artistic confidence, sincerity and, in some cases, local inspiration.” Applying those excellent criteria has produced a memorable show for both the NVAA and the Bryan Memorial Art Gallery. m

FLOWER POWER

An unusual 9/11 memorial exhibi-

tion, entitled â€œWe Are Different Forever,â€? is at the Merchants Bank in bustling downtown South Hero through July. Images of calla lilies repeat in Mym Tumaâ€™s pastels, acrylic paintings and mixedmedia works; she says the traditional flower of mourning helped her overcome â€œa mountainous wave of grief for New York,â€? which was shared by many after the terrorist attack. The floral symbolism is no doubt familiar to Tuma, who befriended Georgia Oâ€™Keeffe from the mid-1960s till the elder artistâ€™s passing in 1974. Pictured:

WHAT’S IN A NAME? The smoking self-portrait by Aaron Birnbaum (pictured) isn’t politically correct, but in the realm of “Art Brut,” correctness is in the eye of the beholder. The current exhibition at Shelburne Craft School’s Gallery on the Green — entitled “Art By Any Name: Outsider? Folk? Art Brut? Naive?” — is a compendium of 50 face jugs, carvings, paintings and more from the collection of Burlington resident Pat Parsons, a nationally known collector of outsider art. The artists in a show like this are often as colorful as their works. The puffing painter Birnbaum didn’t begin making art until he was 70, after a lifetime in the garment industry. He lived to be 103, cigs and all. “Art By Any Name” is on view through July 30.

ey, if you had virtually invented a movie genre and then spent decades without a major hit watching new generations of film-school graduates and music video directors get rich off the formula you developed, the time no doubt would arrive when you decided you deserved a big fat payday, too, even if that meant recycling a lot of your own screen work. Director George (Night of the Living Dead) Romero reached that point not long ago. In the wake of recent box-office successes such as Shaun of the Dead, Resident Evil, 28 Days Later and an upstart remake of his own Dawn of the Dead, the 65-year-old filmmaker decided to get back into the zombie business himself. The result may be the most critically acclaimed film ever to feature the gobbling of human entrails. From The Hollywood Reporter and Chicago Tribune to The New York Times and Premiere, reviewers have hailed Land of the Dead as a masterpiece. Now, I’m as happy as any long-time movie lover to see Romero receive the acknowledgment and appreciation he deserves as one of modern horror’s founding fathers. But, a “masterpiece?” Let’s not lower the bar that far quite yet, friends. This is a production with plenty of brains. It’s just that mostly they get eaten. The director’s first zombie film in 20 years is gory good fun, into which are mixed a half-dozen or so good ideas. The setting is a metropolitan area that has been barricaded to keep out the hordes of living dead, which evidently have overrun most of the world. Although, who knows how? Huddled masses of common folk eke out a squalid existence on the street level, while a select group of the city’s elite live the very good life atop a heavily fortified high-rise called Fiddler’s Green. Dennis Hopper plays the Trump-like figure with the power to select the luxury facility’s residents. That is, most accounts and reviews evoke The Donald, but it’s not really an accurate analogy. Hopper’s character has no sense of playfulness. He’s a more or less cartoon-quality symbol of greed who sips the finest brandy and smokes the finest cigars in his vast penthouse while employing gangs of mercenaries to stage raids on nearby abandoned towns for supplies. Two of these are played by Simon Baker and John Leguizamo. Baker has designed a rolling fortress, complete with Patriot missiles, called Dead Reckoning. On appointed nights the two and their crews make a mad dash for a

neighboring town to loot as much as they can as fast as they can. They’re heavily armed against their slow-walking, eternally famished foes, but their most effective protection actually takes the form of fireworks. The undead, we learn, are unable to take their eyes off the colorful displays and will stand immobile, gaping up at them as long as they glitter and burst in the sky. The viewer senses Romero intends this as a comic take on society’s fixation with mindless entertainment. If so, it’s a corker and right on the money. Things go from bad to worse for the surviving humans when Nature pulls one of its inscrutable little tricks and the zombies develop the ability to reason and organize on a rudimentary level. This is Romero’s central jest: Just as the living are descending further into savagery, the dead are commencing the long evolutionary climb to reason. When a zombie nicknamed Big Daddy (Eugene Clark) gets his hands on an automatic rifle and figures out how to use it, one is likely to flash back to the scene in 2001 when that ape first realizes a bone can be used as a weapon. Another interesting subtext is the notion of the zombies as a population oppressed by the American military. Soldiers struggle to maintain order in the city, but suffer increasingly frequent setbacks at the hands (or teeth) of less organized and less well-armed forces. Sound familiar? Could Romero really be making a political statement about the situation in Iraq? I know it sounds preposterous, but consider the scene in which zombies are shackled in a nightclub so that thrill-seeking revelers can have their photo taken next to them. Can you say Abu Ghraib? Subtext is one thing; story’s another. In terms of plot, character and action, Land of the Dead is, by and large, a standard-issue chomp romp. The humans want one thing, the undead want another, and when they get in each other’s faces, miles of faces, fingers, feet and intestines get eaten. The director has a heyday with the latest technology; Romero may now hold the motion-picture record for imagining the most ways to snack on the human body. This film certainly isn’t a masterpiece. I’m not even sure it’s scarier than 1968’s black-and-white Night of the Living Dead. For Romero fans and connoisseurs of zombie cinema, nonetheless, Land of the Dead is sure to prove as irresistible as the final Star Wars installment did to fans of science fiction. For Romero himself, it proves something else: that he can still cut it — and sever, behead and disembowel it — with the best of them. m

THE MORAN PLANT

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Soundstage with a View? Seinfeld and Larry David,” says McMahon, 54. “The most important thing is networking.” An admitted novice in the field, he suspects, “It’s a matter of getting some experts involved.” Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office has been soliciting schemes for the Moran plant since March, after voters rejected a plan to allow the 51-year-old brick structure to house the YMCA. Because of the Public Trust Doctrine, the site must be limited to government offices, environmental research or recreational or cultural activities. Although a soundstage is certainly cultural, it’s not the kind of venture that provides significant community access to the prime waterfront real estate. And access was a surely factor in the Town Meeting Day decision. McMahon is undeterred. “It’s good to know the limitations,” he says. “I’ve been overcoming limitations my whole life.” A Brooklyn native, McMahon was immersed in civic affairs on various local boards and did legal work overseas from the 1970s through the 1990s. He claims it was his concept that led to the 1998 McBride Principles, which require fair-employment practices by U.S. companies doing business in Northern Ireland — meaning no discrimination against Catholics. McMahon landed in Vermont by accident after becoming ill en route to

Canada. “I was treated at Fletcher Allen Health Care,” he recalls. “I’m an alcoholic and I got sober here through a 12-step program. I’m also disabled, with bilateral peripheral neuropathy, which is a nerve condition. This seemed like the best place to live.” Whether it’s a good place to make movies is another question. Vermont doesn’t necessarily boast the highly skilled labor pool and superior digital facilities that out-of-town filmmakers often want. However, “Our lack of tax incentives is the number one problem,” acknowledges Danis Regal, executive director of the Vermont Film Commission. “That’s always the first thing I’m asked. We are not competitive with other states.” In an early June New York Times story about the viability of film production in the Big Apple, comedianwriter Mel Brooks said: “Without the tax benefits, the horrible truth is, this movie (The Producers) would probably be made in Kabul, or, you know, wherever it’s the cheapest place in the world for us to shoot.” The Vermont legislature did not pass the larger economic bill that

includes the tax incentive before adjourning this spring; Regal expects it to appear on the calendar for the next session. She will be talking with McMahon about his initiative, but wonders if the 44,143-square-foot Moran plant is big enough to accommodate the artistic enterprise he envisions there. By contrast, Silvercup Studios in Queens is 200,000 square feet, and the 280,000-square-foot Steiner Studios is now being constructed in the adjacent borough McMahon once called home. Moreover, David Giancola’s Edgewood Studios in Rutland already offers 40,000 square feet of soundstage. “The cost to renovate a building like the Moran plant with soundproofing and special flooring is phenomenal,” Regal adds. “It really would require private investors.” Such harsh realities do not discourage McMahon. “This is a project that needs a lot of technical input and a coordinated effort,” he says. “But we have a terrific opportunity to be creative.” Call 657-3261 or email dennis mcmahon110@yahoo.com to find out more about his impossible dream. 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.

In HAREMS of old, the sewing of hems was done by eunuchs. A DECENT driver is careful not to dent someone else’s car. MADISON Avenue is not the best place to find a mason. Some say Lana of Hollywood had a LACUNA in her character. Clay that’s been freshly dug up is cold and CLAMMY. Pizza pies are most easily eaten when sliced into PIECES. You can leave your sled behind when you move to the MOJAVE. In my OPINION, the best gift for one’s teacher is not an onion. CAVEAT: When exploring a bat cave, expect to step in guano. Some jobs make you feel more like a peon than a PERSON. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARDER THAN USUAL. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

s Vermont was considering a tax incentive to bring large-scale movie production to the state this spring, Chris Bohjalian wrote to key legislators about his support for the proposal. The Lincoln author pointed out that he had just toured Montpelier, Stowe and Addison County to scout locations that might suit a cinematic adaptation of Water Witches, one of his novels. “The director agreed with me that it would be a shame for yet another of my books to be filmed elsewhere,” Bohjalian noted in the letter, referring to the fact that Midwives was shot in Canada and Past the Bleachers in Georgia. “Hollywood producers feel their budgets would not go as far here.” Meanwhile, a Queen City man has spent the last month or so campaigning to transform the Moran plant on the Burlington Waterfront into a soundstage capable of luring motion pictures to the area. “I just got the idea in the middle of the night,” explains Dennis McMahon, a retired New York attorney who moved north in 2002. “This could be a venue for those ‘Masterpiece Theater’-type films, too.” He’s trying to drum up enthusiasm for his brainstorm from city and state officials, as well as from big names in the entertainment industry: Steven Spielberg, Miramax, Warner Bros., even media mogul Rupert Murdoch. “I also want to approach Jerry

MAESTRO MODE

Vermont is full of summer festivals, but thereâ€™s always room for one more. Part music camp, part public concert series, the Green Mountain Chamber Music Festival tutors 75 violin, viola, cello and piano students ages 15 to 25. Co-founded this year by UVM music prof Michael Hopkins, the faculty lineup includes two pros whoâ€™ve played in the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra. In between master classes and coaching, the teachers take breaks for five formal concerts, each of which has a different theme. French Impressionist sonatas make the playlist, as does Argentinean composer Astor Piazzollaâ€™s â€œGrand Tango for Two Pianos.â€? Music to the ears.

The Palestinian kids living in Bethlehem’s Aida refugee camp, where almost half of the residents are under 18, don’t have much space to have fun. But instead of venting by throwing stones, the camp’s Al Rowwad Cultural Training Center helps kids express themselves creatively through art. Now on their first U.S. tour, 11 youngsters perform their original play, We Are the Children of the Camp, at three Vermont locations this week. The production features puppetry and traditional Palestinian dance. While in Vermont, the kids will get a chance to go swimming, play soccer and tour Intervale farms — and also convey the power of non-violent communication.

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.

JUNE 30 - JULY 06

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A reader wrote the following letter to Parade magazine columnist Marilyn vos Savant: “When you’re asleep and dreaming about performing calorieburning activities such as running, jumping and flying, do you burn more calories in reality as opposed to when you’re dreaming about doing something low-impact?” If you wrote me an inquiry like that, Aries, I’d say this: “Yes, definitely. In fact, what you do in your dreams this week will have at least as much impact on your waking life as anything you do in your waking life. Keep a pen and notebook by your bed so you can keep track of late-breaking developments.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): This is the one of the shortest horoscopes I have ever written for you. That’s because there is just one simple message, which you should take to heart in a hundred ways. Are you ready? Trust yourself as you have never trusted yourself before. Trust your perceptions, your feelings and your body. Trust your bratty whims, your weird longings and your momentary lapses. Trust your urge to merge, your itch to bitch and your yearning to learn. Trust your ability to know exactly how to trust.

frontiers, and flirt with possibilities you’ve never entertained. To get you started, here are a few suggested activities: Fly in a hot-air balloon over Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park; run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain; go on a two-week meditation retreat in Pondicherry, India; read Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain; give laughing lessons to a cat; make love on a mountaintop; speak the words you’ve been wanting to say for years.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Say goodbye to the ghost. It has hung around far too long. In the early days, its teachings were useful, but now your relationship is fueled mostly by habit. Besides, there’s no value in continuing to pore over all the scenarios about what might have been. In order to banish this ghost, Leo, you don’t need to be cruel or angry. Simply inform it that its work is finished, and you’ve both got to move on. For best results, perform a ritual that formally severs your tie. You could tie a string between two objects, one that represents you and one that symbolizes the ghost, then use scissors to cut the connection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What I’m

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini actress Angelina Jolie has a tattoo on her belly. It reads “Quod me nutruit me destruit,” which is Latin for “What feeds me destroys me.” I’m not sure I understand all of its implications, but here’s what I think are the two main messages: (1) If you grow too comfortable from soaking up nourishing experiences, you’ll blunt your lust for the kind of adventures that make you feel fully alive. (2) If you become addicted to what you enjoy, what you enjoy will mess you up. What do you think? In my dream last night, Jolie told me it’s the perfect astrological moment for her fellow Geminis to meditate on the meaning of her tattoo.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s the season of high adventure. You have a sacred duty to flee your safety zones, wander out to the wild

about to tell you is always important to keep in mind, but it’s especially crucial right now. If you think you’re too small and insignificant to have a major impact, you’ve never spent the night in bed with a mosquito. Let me put it a different way Virgo: In order for you to set in motion all the invigorating, far-reaching changes you now have the potential to initiate, you must believe you are as impossible to fight off as a mosquito in the dark.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Boanthropy is a type of insanity in which a person believes he or she is an ox. Fortunately, you won’t suffer from that in the coming week. But there is a possibility you will contract a case of hawkanthropy, in which you imagine you’re a huckster who must hawk your personality, talents and products like a Hollywood publicist on meth. My hope is that

the warning you’re now reading will steer you away from this pathological condition. I assure you that it makes no sense for you to try too hard as you sell yourself. Let your work speak for itself, and don’t interrupt.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Introducing Adrienne Rich at a poetry reading in San Francisco in 2004, Francis Philips turned to her and said, “Thank you for your lovely, irreverent, unsettled, curious mind.” It was a fitting tribute to a poet who for 50 years has stirred up good trouble with her rowdy yet disciplined work. By the end of this week, Scorpio, I would like to feel justified in saying the same thing to you: “Thank you for your lovely, irreverent, unsettled, curious mind.” Now get out there and pull off the most healing mischief you can imagine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I was watching MTV’s reality game show “Next.” The camera recorded the adventures of a hot blonde as she went on a succession of brief dates with five strangers. The moment any of the suitors bothered or bored her, she barked “Next!” and so banished the loser, ushering in a fresh supplicant. In the first part of the show, she rejected three guys, paving the way for the fourth, an affable, goofy Sagittarius. “I’ve heard Sagittarians are workaholics,” she told him just minutes into the date. “You’ve been misinformed,” he replied with a chuckle, and went on to tell her that he had no job, really liked doing nothing in particular all day long, and enjoyed walking around naked whenever possible. I bring this to your attention, Sagittarius, because I hope you’ll make a liar out of him in the coming weeks. Please work with as much intensity as you can possibly summon. (P.S. However, it would be fine for you to follow his example for a while in August.)

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A golden eagle with a 7-foot wingspan shot down out of the overcast sky and dived at my friend Maura’s pet cockatoo, which was perched on the branch of an oak not 30 feet from her back door. Five of us watched with alarm from the outdoor table where we were sipping tea. We began howling, hoping to scare the giant predator away, and I ran to grab a baseball bat that Maura’s son had left lying near the tree. And then the unexpected happened. The eagle did not attack the cockatoo, but settled down peacefully beside it. Nor did the cockatoo flee. The two sat there together like old friends for maybe 10 minutes before the bigger bird flew away. In the coming week, Aquarius, I predict that you will experience a metaphorical version of this event.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your meditation for the week comes from Friedrich Nietzsche. “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe,” he wrote. “If you try it, you will often be lonely, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” This is an ideal time for you to put this prescription into action, Pisces, because during the current grace period you have the power to own more of yourself than ever before — and without getting lonely or scared.

vivid evidence that will contradict your theory. Are you secretly suspicious of joy because you think it’s inevitably rooted in wishful thinking and a willful ignorance about the true nature of reality? If so, your suspicions are about to be exposed as unfounded. Do you fear that when you’re in the presence of love and beauty you tend to become softheaded, whereas you’re likely to feel smart and powerful when sneering at the ugliness around you? Get ready to see an alternative possibility.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I am 18 years old and having my first serious relationship. My lesbian lover “Jasmine” insists on calling me “Chuck” at moments of passion. My name is “Heather,” and I am proud to be female, have never wanted to be a boy, and have no interest in pretending to be male — especially in the context of sexual intimacy. How can I get Jasmine to quit this disagreeable habit? Everything else about her is great, and I don’t want to mess things up. What really bothers me is that I’m afraid she calls me “Chuck” because she’d really rather be with a boy. Puzzled in Putney Dear Puzzled, Have you asked Jasmine nicely? Unless you have and she’s chosen to ignore it, her so-called “insistence” could be your projection. That is, your fear of flubbing it your first time out could be what’s making Jasmine seem so intransigent. Tell her what you’ve told me, and be open to her response. Fantasy and play are natural components of healthy sex, and shouldn’t cause problems unless they’re coupled with coercion. That said, if after talking it over you’re still unhappy, chalk this introductory affair up to experience and chuck it. Love, Lola
