EULOGY Well, 135 Pearl, RI fricken P. For heinous DJs, to heinous drama, to intermittently heinous decor — for good drinks, good friends, and good nights of dancing we will never forget you. Pearl’s was the first gay bar I’d ever been into at age 18, before it went all 21+ and kicked us back out. It was there that for the first time I’d seen drag queens other than the ones turning tricks in downtown Philly and that I’d seen chaps worn outside of the riding ring....with nothing under them. It was also there that for the first time I didn’t feel totally conspicuous and weird kissing girls in public. It was there where I met girls who broke my heart (at least I think so) and there where I avoided girls whose hearts I had broken (this part I remember). At Pearl’s, Rose and I sang “We Belong” karaoke style and finally figured out what the hell Pat Benatar was saying. At Pearl’s, we wore underwear instead of clothes, we danced on tables, we did burlesque, we kissed strangers, we kissed friends, we kissed exes. At 2 this morning (ok, 3:15— but who’s counting) the doors closed on this fixture of queer life in Vermont...and while it was the best of bars and the worst of bars, it was our bar and it will be missed. A moment of silence please. A moment of techno please.

Most appalling, their repetition of Bush’s linking 9/11 to Iraq, “To me . . . if there’s no 9/11, there’s no Iraq war; . . .” No matter how often this is repeated, we now know there was no direct connection (except in the minds of Bush & Co.), there were no WMDs, and there were no Iraqi al Queda 9/11 terrorists. Venezuela, moreover, is characterized as “instable.” If I’m not mistaken, Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s president, was re-elected by a landslide in a referendum called for by the minority conservatives. “Instability” in Venezuela primarily comes from the private rightwing media, their owners and the über-rich elite, who twice attempted coups against Chavez (covertly aided by the U.S.) and failed . . . Robison and Gause also appear to prefer “tough, authoritarian incumbents” to freely elected ones, discount the views of grassroots Iraqis (when it comes to Shia/Sunni relations prior to U.S. intervention) in favor of their “expert” historical perspective, “tend to believe in the Bush administration” and “take him [Bush] at his word,” and pine for “real economic growth and development” in Syria, Jordan and Egypt via “high oil prices.” In my opinion, the only “flood of money” in the region is primarily lining the pockets of ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Bechtel, other defense subcontractors, and security companies, and seems very unlikely to trickle down to these countries.

The power to change the world lies in Information Technology. Today, creative people have developed software to help monitor and improve our environment, explore the seas and outer space, discover new ways to feed the hungry, to reach out and network with people worldwide. Our world runs on Information Technology. Computers. Phones. Games. Cars. E-mail. ATMs. And in the future, it will run better because of IT. With the right education, you can help change the world, too. In 2004, the average salary for a software engineer was nearly $77,000*. Find out how to earn a degree in Information Technology or Software Engineering at one of several Vermont colleges. Call Diana at 728-1297 or go to VermontITcareers.org.

HIGH PRIEST? Aloha. Thanks to Ken Picard for writing, and to you for publishing, the piece on Shayne Higgins and his medical marijuana situation [“Smoked Out,” May 24]. I can help him immediately. If he would like to join The Hawai’i Cannabis Ministry and
become ordained as a Cannabis sacrament Minister, then I can supply him with the sacrament of our ministry, holy anointing oil made with cannabis, while he enjoys the protections of the Vermont State Constitution and the U.S. Constitution religious freedom guarantees. And he can gradually (or immediately) give up the toxic pharmaceuticals that I read are working against his well being. (By the way, “pharmacopea” comes from the root word “sorcery,” or dark magic.) Holy anointing oil is a topical sacrament made from the sacred “recipe” of Exodus 30:23. Where it says sweet cane, fragrant cane, aro-
matic cane or calamus root, we substitute cannabis — and it works miracles! We now have enough research, scholarship and experience to back up our claims. HAO is amazing and healing and wonderful. Zero smoke. Zero carbon monoxide. All simple, natural and good. It’s taken with just drops applied to “pulse points,” sore spots or infections, and to the crown of the head, as in “anoint your head with oil.” Now we finally know what the oil is: olive oil with myrrh, cinnamon, cassia and cannabis. And now we know that the words “Jesus Christ” translate simply as “I am anointed.” Anointed
with what? Holy anointing oil made with cannabis. Hallelujah! Roger Christie HILO, HAWAI’I
Christie is the founder of the THC Ministry. POETRY SLAM Your review of Hayden Carruth’s new book is weak. Actually, to be quite honest, I thought it was terribly written, moronic — and boring. The reviewer completely failed at presenting Carruth’s collection; he did not capture the spirit and beauty behind Carruth’s words. Besides the ridiculous title, “Mr. Natural,” the first paragraph made me cringe (poetry is out of date?). And, the “mulchy backdrop” comment or his remark that Carruth’s poetry is “almost Biblical” or the ugly statement: “As he has aged, Carruth has directed more of his lyric attention to his relationships, even if he describes them with the language of a park ranger.” I kept saying — no, no, no! The reviewer almost makes Carruth sound simple-minded, as if his poems are about manure and nothing else. A young poet might read this review and never turn to this collection . . . Simply: This is a loss. Meghan Dowell WAITSFIELD
the March 15 issue [“Scene@”] about the Green Mountain Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. We were delighted to have Cathy and the photographer come to our meeting and spend so much time with us. We felt honored by the attention and hoped the exposure might lead to some new members of our group. Some members had their own agenda they wished expressed in the piece and were disappointed to find no mention of the guild’s objectives, youth program, outreach programs, history or recruitment information. The purpose of the EGA is to foster the highest standards of excellence in the art of embroidery, through education and study, and to preserve the heritage of the art. But most importantly, some members were shocked — shall we say outraged — to discover they had “mostly gray hair.” Methinks a long and serious conference is overdue with our hairdressers. Perhaps our next monthly meeting should take place under the hairdryers at the local beauty parlor? In any event, we welcome all persons with an interest in embroidery to join us at our monthly Wednesday meetings, no matter the color of your hair! Amy Blodgett FAIRFAX

Tarrant Campaign Manager Tim Lennon confirms the relationship, but claims the band isn’t booked beyond last Monday’s Lamoille County cookout at the VFW in Hyde Park. He also downplays the power of audio association. Music is a marketing device, he concedes, but the band is just there to entertain, not endorse. “Obviously the goal is for the candidate’s message to be heard,� Lennon says. “The music is there to draw people — different people — who might not come to a straight political talk, but would come for a fun evening out.� Starline delivers. “Rich has been a fan of theirs for a long time,� Lennon explains. “Whenever we had a need for a band, he was always enthusiastically pushing for the Starline Rhythm Boys.�
because we perform at a function for him or her; our role in being hired to perform is solely to provide entertainment for the persons attending the event. We feel that our performance at an event for any political candidate is no different than the media accepting paid advertising or a vendor working for a fee from that person or party.� Any party? What if George W. or Tom DeLay wanted the Boys to back them? Starline likens their role to that of a caterer. But does a vendor working behind the scenes hold the same sway as recognizable rockers sharing a stage with the candidate? It depends on whom you ask. “If Kid Rock came in and said, ‘Vote Republican,’ or Bruce Springsteen said, ‘Vote Democrat,’ it wouldn’t change people’s opinions of the candidates themselves,� Lennon insists. “I don’t think the band influences the vote.�
Is the feeling mutual? The band’s lead singer and spokesman, Danny Coane, appeared to be caught off-guard by the query. Apparently it hadn’t occurred to him or his bandmates that rocking on the “right� side of the aisle might be viewed as a political statement. So they did what any panicked candidate would do: Instead of calling a reporter back, five days later they responded with a “statement� explaining their campaign-season performance philosophy. Anyone looking for info on their otherwise excellent website would find the band’s Lamoille County Cookout gig noted only as a “private function.� “. . . We will perform at any function for any candidate, party, or elected official who wants to hire us for an agreed fee, assuming our schedule permits,� the Starline statement reads. “We do not consider ourselves to be a politically aligned group since we, as a group, do not endorse any candidate, party or elected official simply
Gordon sees it differently. When Phish was together, he recalls, “There was this big deal about separating music and politics, not only within the band but with each band member. It was controversial. Why should we have the right as musicians to be preaching our opinion in non-musical arenas? That was the question.� Like Springsteen, Bono and the Dixie Chicks, they knew instinctively that a rock star’s word — or lyric — is worth a thousand television commercials. Gordon appears to be more comfortable wielding his celebrity power now. “I think we raised more money than any other benefit, more than Al Franken, is what I heard,� he says. “And in terms of raising consciousness among young people . . . All we’re saying is, we want you to be aware there is this candidate out there who seems great to us. Check it out and register to vote.� By the end of the final singalong, about 15 had done just that. m

VERMONT — Bernie Sanders and Rich Tarrant aren’t the only ones providing the sound bites in Vermont’s heated U.S. Senate race: Both candidates are using local bands to get voters to listen up. The Starline Rhythm Boys got top billing in a recent recorded phone message from the Tarrant campaign urging attendance at a Memorial Day cookout at the Old Lantern in Charlotte. Four days later, the band Ramble Dove — composed of Mike Gordon, plus Marie Claire, Neil Cleary, Brett Hughes, Gordon Stone and Scott Murawski — gave it up for Bernie Sanders at Higher Ground. Could it be a coincidence that both bands played honkytonk? Music has been a part of political campaigns since the Founding Fathers came up with such catchy tunes as “Follow Washington,� “For Jefferson and Liberty� and “Huzzah for Madison, Huzzah.� More recent presidential wannabes have adopted already-existing songs, with mixed success. Everyone remembers what happened when Ronald Reagan forgot to check in with Bruce Springsteen before he appropriated “Born in the U.S.A.� George W. Bush’s blunder last year with “Still the One� inspired similar protest from singer-songwriter John Hall. Coincidentally, the 57-year-old co-founder of Orleans has since launched his own bid for Congress. Typically, musicians don’t lend their lyrics lightly to causes — or candidates. Blending brands is tricky business. Would Gordon ever play for a politician he didn’t plan to vote for? “No,� says the former Phish bassist. “I would hardly even play for a candidate that I do support.� Friday night marked a new direction for Gordon, who praised Sanders from the stage, seemingly on behalf of his entire band. “I’ve never before acted on my political passions,� Gordon explains, noting he got the idea for the benefit gig after hearing Bernie speak a few weeks ago. “It reminded me how incredibly smart and courageous he is . . . I called my manager and said I wanted to do something.� Everyone else who played that night — from Grace Potter to Jon Fishman and Page McConnell — was on the same page, er, stage. What does that say about The Starline Rhythm Boys, a former Bernie band now vending their carefully crafted retro brand to Tarrant? The popular group has become the Republican’s de facto house band. They provided the soundtrack for his kick-off campaign event last month and “pretty much do all of our cookouts,� according to a friendly staff per-

John and Lauren Cleary at Lucky Ladies Organic Egg Farm lost 20 of their 200 chickens, and had to use a canoe to collect eggs and haul feed to their birds. Digger’s Mirth Collective Farm took one of the biggest hits, losing three weeks of sales, or about $20,000 worth of produce. “I’ve been doing this for 15 years, but this is the first time I’ve lost a substantial amount of stuff in the growing season,” said Dylan Zeitlyn at Digger’s Mirth. “It was pretty much a reset on the season.” One problem for farms like Digger’s Mirth, which grows mostly mixed salad greens, is that the Vermont Department of Health recently issued a statewide advisory warning consumers not to eat produce that was exposed to floodwater. Produce that can be

Some farmers pointed out that their produce is always thoroughly washed before it’s sold anyway, while others note that weeks of new rain and ultraviolet light from the sun will wash away or kill off whatever harmful contaminants were left behind. Meanwhile, at Digger’s Mirth, Zeitlyn didn’t seem to have lost his mirth. “Canoeing around the Intervale and over our field was almost worth it,” he said. m

BURLINGTON — On a drizzly, overcast morning last week, Dave Zuckerman trudged up and down the muddy rows of his crops at Full Moon Farm in Burlington’s Intervale and assessed the damage from last month’s flood. Kneeling down, he yanked up a fistful of brown, wilted spinach, which will soon be plowed under — once the soil is dry enough to support a tractor. Nearby stood several rows of red and green lettuce that were planted in April. As Zuckerman cracked open a few heads, they revealed the rot and brown silt left inside by the floodwater, which stood chest-high in some sections of this field. This crop is also a total loss, he lamented, as were his cucumbers, melons, herbs and much of his broccoli. Farmers throughout Vermont are still assessing the losses from the soggiest May on record, and are wringing what they can from washed-out crops. Chittenden County farmers took the hardest hit, with losses estimated at $431,000, according to the USDA’s Farm Service Agency. Losses in Franklin County were second, at $247,000, followed by Addison County, at $215,000. Statewide, crop damage totaled more than $1.36 million. But the long-term impact of the floods has yet to be tallied, according to Roger Allbee, state executive director of the Farm Service Agency. He said that most of the crops damaged by the floods were corn — about 1000 acres, or $300,000 worth, in Chittenden County alone — much of which would have been used to feed livestock. Come winter, many Vermont farmers will be looking to buy their animal feed. Moreover, Allbee added, without a flood emergency declared

SCENES FROM THE LETTER
COLCHESTER — More than 250 social workers, educators and activists gathered at St. Michael’s College on May 31 for the first “Creating a Welcoming Community” Conference. The event encouraged participants to value Vermont’s growing diversity, and offered workshops focused on how to help refugees and immigrants adjust. The Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program estimates that more than 5000 refugees have been relocated to the state since 1980. As opening speaker Madeleine Kunin — herself an immigrant from Switzerland — noted in her opening address, “Vermont is changing.” Kunin’s address, in which she spoke about her own difficult experiences in coming to this country, was followed by a presentation of Ziad Hamzeh’s awardwinning documentary The Letter. Organizers couldn’t have chosen a better film to illustrate the need for their event. The Letter chronicles the saga of Lewiston, Maine, an almost entirely white town roughly the size of Burlington. In 2001, 1100 Somali refugees began resettling there. Many of Vermont’s recent arrivals are also from Somalia, and other African nations. At first, Lewiston welcomed its new residents, and earned a reputation as a model community. But an election swept the immigrant-friendly mayor from office. The new mayor soon released a letter in which he asked the Somalis to stop coming to the town. “This large number of new arrivals cannot continue without negative results for all,” he wrote. “We need breathing room. Our city is maxed-out financially, physically and emotionally.” The letter touched off a firestorm, which the film explores in detail. Somali immigrants reveal old bullet wounds and talk about how Lewiston is “heaven.” White residents claim — falsely, say people who work with the refugees — that the Somalis get preferential treatment from the government. The white supremacist group World Church of the Creator held a rally in Lewiston to support the mayor’s actions. Perhaps the film’s most shocking quote was from an African-American businessman who has been hearing from people across the country, relieved that “We’re not them.” “Hello,” he says. “You are them.” How is Vermont different
from Maine? Conference organizer Phyl Newbeck suggests one difference — the Vermont Teacher Diversity Scholarship Program. Started in the late 1990s with money allocated by then-governor Howard Dean, the VTDSP actively seeks to diversify the faculty and staff of the state’s public schools. The program recruits “scholars” of diverse backgrounds interested in teaching in Vermont. The VTDSP requires them to attend college in-state, and earn a teaching certificate. Once they begin teaching, the VTDSP forgives $4000 of their student loans each year for three years. The VTDSP was the conference’s primary sponsor; Newbeck is its director. In 2005, Governor Douglas allocated $100,000 for this loan forgiveness program. According to Newbeck, the VTDSP currently has 18 scholars, four of whom have completed their requirements and are teaching in Dorset, Northfield and Burlington. At the conference, she passed out a press release announcing the VTDSP’s two newest scholars, Floribeth Jiminez, who emigrated from Costa Rica, and Emmanuel Riby-Williams, who came to Vermont from Ghana in 2002. Both currently work as paraeducators; Jiminez at Rutland High School, Riby-Williams at U32 in Montpelier. Riby-Williams, an immigrant who describes himself as “an
economic refugee,” says the program will make it possible for him to return to the classroom. He taught for three years in Ghana, and spent three years as an assistant superintendent. But his education there doesn’t quite translate to a U.S. college degree. He’ll have to complete 30 credits to earn a Bachelor’s from Johnson State College; he plans to start classes this summer. He says he wouldn’t be able to do it without the loan forgiveness program. Riby-Williams, who supports his wife and three children, says getting ahead in the U.S. has been difficult. The family lives in public housing, and his wife has been unable to get a job. “As I talk to you now,” he says, “I don’t have $1000 in my savings account. And you are talking about $12,000 to $15,000. It’s tough.” Riby-Williams says he hasn’t encountered discrimination in Vermont, though when he arrived in Montpelier he did attract attention. “Everyone else came to a standstill looking at me,” he remembers. “I felt bad about it.” He says recruiting diverse teachers into the state’s classrooms will show students that immigrants like him can be community leaders. And it will make immigrant children feel more at home. “We do have kids from diverse backgrounds,” he says. “We should have teachers from diverse backgrounds, too.” m
LEFT BEHIND? VERMONT’S LIBERAL TENDENCIES RANK FIFTH VERMONT — The Green Mountain State boasts the first civil-union law in the country, a Republican-turned-Independent as U.S. senator and a self-described Socialist as congressman. Yet last week, Vermont was only ranked fifth in the U.S. for its liberal leanings by a national coalition of social-justice groups. What does a blue state have to do to get some respect? “It’s touching,” said Kirsten Sherk, a spokesperson for the reproductive rights advocacy group, Ipas, one of the three organizations that compiled the state-by-state ranking. Massachusetts, which ranked sixth, “was also very distressed,” she said. Each state was evaluated on a number of factors, including its laws on abortion, contraception, LGBT protections and equal rights for men and women. According to Sherk, Vermont lost points for its lack of adequate access to emergency contraception in emergency rooms and pharmacies, the availability of confidential family planning services for minors, its hate-crimes legislation for the LGBT community, its Medicaid coverage of family planning services, and the absence of a same-sex marriage law. Nationwide, New Mexico ranked at the top of the list. “There’s always room for improvement,” Sherk added, “but five is still very good.” KEN PICARD

Empire in Trouble
Y
ours truly awoke Tuesday morning, turned on the radio, and heard ’DEV’s Eric Michaels tell listeners that still more freshly severed heads have been found in Iraq! What a great way to start off the day — severed heads before breakfast! Head removals are becoming a standard tactic in “liberated” and extremely unstable Iraq, a country where the good-natured expression “Don’t lose your head” has a double meaning. In U.S.-occupied Iraq, humans are merely reminding humans everywhere just how humans behave in a lawless vacuum. Thank you, President George W. Bush. And as the natives settle their eye-foran-eye scores, American troops remain sitting ducks for the roadside bombs of a faceless enemy that despises us. There’s no end in sight, and Afghanistan is heating up, too. Here at home, in our beloved nation of one-party rule, Republicans are suddenly running from President Bush like deer from a forest fire. The GOP is desperate to change the subject. The United States’ national debt is at a record level and soaring. New Orleans lays unprepared for the next big one. And the frightening truth about manmade global warming is starting to get out. But what is the Republican Party focused on? How about the war on flag-burning and a constitutional ban on gay marriage! Vermont’s senior senator, Patrick J. Leahy, put it this way in remarks on the Senate floor as the same-sex marriage debate began this week. “That we are devoting the precious few Floor days we have left in this session to this issue, when so many of us are trying to focus on solutions to high gas prices, the rising costs of health care, the ongoing situation in Iraq, and strengthening our national security, is a testament to the misplaced priorities of the Senate Republican leadership,” said Sen. Leahy. “News reports have clearly revealed how this proposed constitutional amendment is being used to satisfy the most extreme right-wing supporters of Republican politicians. I do not believe that Americans are well served by this strategy.” Who does? Vermont’s other senator, the one-andonly Jim Jeffords, echoed St. Patrick’s remarks. Jeezum Jim said he was “very disappointed the Senate will again spend its time with a federal marriage amendment, rather than working to address the critical challenges that face our country, such as the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, global warming and the rising cost of health insurance. This partisan political maneuvering does not serve anyone well.” Well, let’s be honest, folks. It does protect the radical regime in power, doesn’t it? The evidence is now clear: The BushCheney-Rumsfeld-Rice Gang took power in 2001 determined to not only defend but extend the American Oil Empire. Bad move. History will record that King George II of America went to war in 2003 to secure the second-largest oil reserves (next to Saudi Arabia) on Planet Earth. He did so
at a time when humanity was addicted to oil. And as a result of this addiction, humanity filled the Earth’s atmosphere with carbon dioxide, raising the Earth’s temperature, causing disastrous climate change and contributing to the deaths of millions. Sadly for the human victims and the planet, the tightly controlled corporate media looked the other way as the evidence became crystal-clear. C’est la vie. Sunday morning Al Gore, the candidate who won the popular vote but lost the 2000 presidential election, was the headliner on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” For the first 10 minutes, Gore spoke crisply and clearly about the number-one “inconvenient truth” on the planet: global warming. An Inconvenient Truth is also the title of Big Al’s new film, a chilling exposé of the greatest climate-change disaster in human history, a disaster happening unchecked as you read these words. “The debate in the science community is over,” said Mr. Gore. Yet Stephanopoulos, a veteran Democratic political pretty-boy, poohpoohed with absolute disdain Al’s claims of ice sheets melting and sea levels rising more than just a couple inches. Then George suddenly perked up, as he got to the topic he really wanted to discuss — whether Al Gore is or is not running for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination! That subject consumed the rest of the interview and the panel session that followed: Will Gore run for president? Who cares, George? As Upton Sinclair, author of The Jungle, put it, “It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it.” Until An Inconvenient Truth hits Vermont theater screens, you can find more about it here: http://www.climatecrisis.net.

Graff Update — The Vermont Press Association and Friends of Chris Graff are co-hosting a reception this coming Sunday at 1 p.m. honoring the veteran Vermont journalist. Admission is $15, and there will be a cash bar. Should be a lively crowd, and all fans of Mr. Graff and supporters of a free press in Vermont are invited! As everyone in Vermont knows, the veteran AP Montpelier bureau chief was summarily and unfairly sacked back in March. Many, including yours truly and the entire Vermont congressional delegation as well as Gov. Jim Douglas, rallied unsuccessfully to his defense. The wire service has yet to announce a replacement. OK. So the dust has started to settle and everyone’s life goes on, including that of Mr. Graff. In addition to his continued hosting of “Vermont This Week” on Vermont Public Television, and a new weekly gig as a “news analyst” on Vermont Public Radio, Christopher is keeping very busy. What’s he doing? He’s enjoying a marvelous trip down memory lane and writing a book about it! INSIDE TRACK >> 15A

And not just any book, folks, but a book that covers in depth the remarkable political developments he witnessed in Vermont from the 1970s to the present. What a cast of characters! With a Labor Day deadline, Chris says it should be on the shelf at your local bookstore by Christmas. According to Mr. Graff, he “will cover the big events that you would expect, such as civil unions, Jim Jeffords’ declaration of independence, and Howard Dean’s presidential campaign, but it will also highlight the tenure of Govs. [Tom] Salmon, [Richard] Snelling and [Madeleine] Kunin. It will include sections looking back at how Vermont moved from a Republican state to a Democratic one.” And yes, “There will be a chapter on Bernie,” said Graff. Old timers may recall that in the old days, there was no love lost between Bernie Sanders and the AP bureau chief. Should be an interesting chapter. There’s no title yet, said Chris. We’d suggest something along the lines of Vermont’s Political Earthquake. Just might fit, eh? Graff’s book is being published by Thistle Hill Publications, based in North Pomfret. Coincidentally, North Pomfret happens to be the tiny Windsor County community where Chris grew up and still owns property. Actor Jeff Daniels has already agreed to play him in the movie version, he joked. But who will play Bernie? Speaking of Bernie — Sanders held his first press conference at his Burlington campaign HQ on Tuesday morning. Surrounded by eager young volunteers in red shirts, he responded to Republican Rich Tarrant’s TV ad that suggests Ol’ Bernardo is nothing but a screaming, tablepounding promoter of “partisan hatred.” Sanders reminded reporters of his four terms as Burlington’s Independent mayor in the 1980s. “As the mayor I never had a majority on the city council,” Sanders reminded everyone. “I had to work year after year bringing Democrats and Republicans together in order to move Burlington forward. The proof is in the pudding,” he said. “We had enormous successes making Burlington one of the most livable cities in America,” said Ol’ Bernardo, “but I never had a majority on the city council.” That’s not a track record of partisan hatred, he insisted. Good point. But Richie Rich, with the personal fortune, is filling up the TV airwaves with his slick commercials. Does Sanders think he could lose this one? “Do I take this campaign very seriously?” asked Sanders rhetorically. “Sure,” he answered. “Do I think we’re gonna win? “Yeah, I do think we’re gonna win.” Ali iacta est. Inconvenient Truth II — Warning! Don’t let anyone look over your shoulder and catch you
reading this section of “Inside Track.” That’s because it’s about marijuana, an illegal Schedule1 drug. Last year in America, more people were arrested on marijuana charges than live in Vermont. Two weeks ago, at the American Thoracic Society’s 102nd International Conference in San Diego, a respected UCLA research physician delivered a bombshell research paper. It was all the more explosive since the researcher gets funding from our federal Drug Czar to discover what’s dangerous about smoking marijuana, not what’s good about it. It was also a bombshell because Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine examined a very large pool of longtime lung cancer patients and longtime pot smokers. The Woodstock Generation has aged, folks, and for many the marijuana, like the music, never ran out. Dr. Tashkin was able to compare more than 1000 Los Angeles cancer patients with more than 1000 similarly aged healthy folks, including daily pot smokers who have consumed more than 22,000 joints in their lives! The shockeroo is that none of the pot smokers, not even the heavy smokers, developed lung cancer. In fact, the UCLA researcher found that THC, the active ingredient in pot that tobacco doesn’t have, had been found in studies to have “antitumor properties.” What? We first found a report of Dr. Tashkin’s spectacular findings on the Fox News website. It also included — ready for this? — the views of distinguished University of Colorado professor and molecular biologist Dr. Robert Melamede. Dr. Bob, as some readers will recall, previously taught at UVM and was a leader of the nowdefunct Vermont Grassroots Party. An admitted daily pot smoker himself for decades, Dr. Melamede used his candidacies for U.S. Senate and U.S. House during the 1990s to echo the legalization point of view. Check out Dr. Bob’s homepage: http://www.uccs.edu/~rmelamed/. Sure, 10 states have approved bills allowing sick and dying people to smoke dope, but the U.S. Supreme Court says “no.” At this moment in history, there’s little political support for treating grass just like booze — outright legalization for adults. In the recent legislative session, only two House members had the courage to stand up and say it’s time to get real about marijuana. State Rep. Winston Dowland (P-Holland) introduced H. 309, a bill that would have removed “criminal and civil penalties for the possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana by adults 21 years and older.” The fact that Rep. Dowland could only get one cosponsor — veteran State Rep. David Deen (D-Westminster) — is unfortunate. So is the fact that H. 309 received absolutely no attention, no public hearing, no discussion whatsoever. Rep. Deen told “Inside Track” that marijuana “does not cause dependency any more or less than alcohol, does not by

itself move anyone on to harder drug use, is helpful for people with nausea from chemo and pain from other invasive treatments, and now [it’s] not cancer-causing. There’s not much left to rail against,” said Deen, “except, of course, that the war on drugs distracts the public from issues like war, environmental degradation, poverty and Americans without health insurance.” Dowland, a Vietnam vet, told “Inside Track” that cops tell him busting someone for a joint is a waste of their time and of state resources. Possession charges rarely bring more than a $50 fine in Vermont, less than the penalty for speeding. If reelected in November, the Progressive from the Kingdom said he will reintroduce his pot-decriminalization bill. He hopes to have more sponsors, he told us. Heck, if mainstream research indicates smoking pot doesn’t even cause lung cancer, what is everyone so afraid of? Kiss Zips Lips — You know the theory about things happening in threes, right? Well, we were thinking about that the other day, and Burlington’s new Mayor Bob Kiss jumped into mind. He’s already made off-the-cuff comments supporting a “sanctuary city” and instituting new handgun laws. Thinking “legalizing pot possession” might be the third Kiss revelation, we popped the question to the mayor Monday afternoon at City Hall. Ah, yes, the new mayor is indeed getting wiser. He chuckled softly as we asked our question. Does he support fellow Progressive Dowland’s bill? Rep. Kiss did, after all, support Progressive Rep. David Zuckerman’s medical marijuana bill. It wasn’t that much of a stretch to think Burlington’s Woodstock Generation mayor might say what he really thinks. But Kiss did not. We could almost see the roadblock go up inside his mayoral skull. “I’m totally concentrated on working on the budget,” he replied. “We’re really aiming at fiscal integrity, and the people of Burlington understand there are issues around the retirement fund, adjusting the grand list and just meeting the cost of government that we have to achieve this year.” Sounds like Mayor Kiss is starting to get the hang of his new job, eh? Correction — Two weeks ago we incorrectly portrayed former Gen. Martha Rainville wearing “general bars on her collar.” Generals may drink in bars, but they do not wear them. Lieutenants do. Generals wear stars. Apologies. m

Not unless you’ll take “maybe neither of the above” as an answer — the claims of both men were bitterly disputed at the time and things haven’t cooled off much since. Cook’s story is easier to dismiss. He said he reached the Pole in April 1908, a year before Peary supposedly made it. His Inuit companions reported otherwise. The party traveled across the ice a few days, always in sight of land, until Cook implausibly announced they’d arrived. Cook’s photographs, among them one of “Bradley Land,” a mythical landform allegedly encountered en route, were faked. “Proofs” Cook submitted to a Danish commission lacked the expected astronomical observations — at one point he maintained, incredibly, that he’d left them in Greenland. In his later book he included such observations, one of which shows signs of having been cribbed from Peary. Among Cook’s papers after his death were found several North Pole diaries that read like evolving drafts of a novel — which probably isn’t far from what they were. Other events confirm Cook’s character. Amidst the Pole controversy, two expeditions, one sympathetic to Cook, concluded his claimed 1906 ascent of Mt. McKinley (Denali) was impossible. Sure, Peary’s people bribed Cook’s climbing partner to change his story; the fact remains that Cook’s photographs were bogus, taken from a relative molehill miles away. In 1923 Cook, then an oil company executive, was convicted of mail fraud. One count involved a faked photo of a gusher — some people never learn. Robert E. Peary could learn. His early Pole attempts were fiascos, but then he developed the “Peary system,” the use of several support teams employing Inuit methods. If anyone could’ve succeeded in 1909, Peary could. His story is undisputed until the point where he, Matthew Henson and four Inuit left behind the last support party about 133 nautical miles from the Pole. Expecting the rest of the trip would take six to nine days, they did it in just over four. This speed was long suspect, but in 2005 explorer Tom Avery, using methods similar to Peary’s, beat his overall time from Cape Columbia (the most northerly point of land in Canada) to the Pole. Avery didn’t quite match Peary’s speed on the last four days, but came close enough to blunt criticism. So Peary’s distance is reasonable. What about his direction? There the argument gets complicated. Arctic navigation was (and is) tricky, not least because the geographic North Pole (Peary’s goal) and the magnetic North Pole (where compasses point) were then more than 1000 miles apart. Peary expected to head straight north, which he seems to have done using a rough-and-ready navigational method involving solar sightings and compass corrections. But the method only works reliably if you stay true to your original course — if you veer, errors accumulate.
Explorer Sir Wally Herbert estimates Peary never got closer to the Pole than 30 to 60 miles. A 1990 National Geographic article, on the other hand, places him within 5 miles (his instruments’ margin of error) based on analysis of his photos and depth soundings. NatGeo’s photo evidence is questionable, but the soundings show Peary headed roughly the right way. The celestial observations he made near his last camp are correct; for confirmation, he marched 5 to 7 miles in all directions and made more sightings. Even if he was off initially, surely at some point during these peregrinations he got pretty close. Still, Peary had misstated other discoveries. In 1892 he found a frozen channel he said separated Greenland from a northerly island; a 1906 expedition perished when the putative Peary Channel turned out to be just another fjord. Peary’s 1906 discovery of the mythical “Crocker Land” recalls Cook’s “Bradley Land,” although unlike Cook’s sham photograph, Peary’s sighting could’ve been an honest mistake. More suspicious is his supposed sighting of Axel Heiberg Island in 1899 — he never mentioned it until Otto Sverdrup reported discovering it in 1903. Some argue that Roald Amundsen used navigation techniques like Peary’s in reaching the South Pole. Maybe, but Amundsen’s group included several navigators who kept each other honest. Peary, in contrast, excluded all other navigators during the home stretch. In light of his history, it’s reasonable to want more than just his word that he got to the Pole, but his word is mainly what we have. If neither Cook nor Peary was first to reach the North Pole, who was? Richard Byrd’s assertion that he and his pilot flew over the Pole in an airplane in 1926 has as many holes as Peary’s story. The first undisputed North Pole expedition was the flight of the dirigible Norge later that year. Among those aboard? That arctic tern of explorers, Roald Amundsen. CECIL ADAMS

t was Sunday noon, and I had mostly recovered from the previous evening’s hoopla when I moseyed out to my cab for the cleanup. After a typical Saturday night, I’m prepared for the squalor that awaits me: floors, and sometimes seats, strewn with pizza plates, hot dog toppings, stray French fries, gum — you get the picture. In the process of neatening up the vehicle’s interior, I opened the front passenger door and noticed an electronic device, about the dimensions of a cigarette pack, lodged between the seat and the doorframe. At first glance, I thought it was a cellphone — I’ve been finding
He told me he was buying it for his girlfriend — “Well, probably for my girlfriend, but maybe not,� he said. The night after the sale — at 3:15 in the morning, to be precise — I was making one final loop through downtown Burlington, trolling for any late stragglers. Starting to make a three-point turn, I pulled onto the curb break between Nectar’s and Esox, planning one last survey of Church Street before calling it a night. Just as I shifted into reverse, a young man on the sidewalk approached my window, a hopeful look in his eyes. “Did you drive me last week from the

This object, however, was unfamiliar. I turned it over to examine the back, which was polished metal. DJ RODNEY DANGER was engraved in white, blocky letters towards the top; underneath was PARTY LIKE A ROCK$TAR. Below that was a small apple with a bite taken out of its right side. And, under that, in larger letters: iPod. Well, I’ll be, I thought. Among the young, I gather, iPods have achieved the ubiquity of telephones, but given my decidedly late-adopter track record — I just recently graduated to a CD player — I’m probably at least five years away from acquiring one of these babies. How the heck do they squeeze thousands of tunes into this pint-sized hunk of metal? I wondered with my CroMagnon brain. Back at the hacienda, I found my brother and his techie friend Randy. “Jernigan, you dog,� Randy said, cradling my find in his hands, “this puppy is the 60GB version. I believe they sell new for about $400.� It was at this point that Greed reared its ugly head. Actually, it reared its whole ugly body, and began to instruct me on how to proceed. For starters, Greed told me not to take the iPod to the police station. The “reasoning�: I couldn’t trust the cops to return it to me if it’s not claimed. As a weak alternative, I decided to advertise the item in the Free Press lost-and-found classifieds. A week passed without a single response. So then, I figured, it was mine, all mine. Randy advised me to sell it online, and I posted an ad that very night: iPod 60GB, $175. Short and sweet. The next morning, I “had mail.� It was now exactly one week since I’d found the iPod, which was beginning to seem a little like the ring from The Lord of the Rings. And, yes, that would make me Gollum. At least five potential buyers were ready to purchase the iPod at my price. It appeared I had stumbled onto a hot item. The next day, I sold it to a fine young man who lives on Chase Street.
Amtrak station?� he asked. I did recognize the guy, and answered, “Sure, I remember driving you. We chatted about music, didn’t we?� “Did I leave my iPod in your cab?� Oh, fuck. “Nope, I don’t think so,� I lied. “Oh, crap!� he said, angrily kicking the refuse can sitting by the curb. “That was my last hope. I guess I left it on the train.� Sensing the guy’s utter disconsolation, Greed eased its grip, but only a smidgen. “Listen, man,� I admitted, “I did find your frickin’ iPod. I listed it in the Free Press’ lost-and-found for a week. Didn’t ya see it?� I was angry at him, as if this fiasco was his fault. “No, I don’t read that paper, though I did check the police station. But, anyway, this is great! You still have it, right?� “Nope, I sold it to some guy today.� “Well, do you have the guy’s number?� “Jeez, sorry, I don’t. I met him downtown, and I only caught his first name.� I was dazzling myself with this newfound ability to lie so brilliantly. Taking out my wallet, I said, “Here’s the $100 I got for the thing. It’s all yours, man.� “All right,� he said resignedly, and he took the money from me. “Look, it wasn’t your fault. Thanks for the $100.� Five blocks later, I awoke as if from a bizarre dream. Who the hell was that guy back there? Certainly not me. I spun around and headed back to Nectar’s, but the young man was nowhere to be found. The next day I revisited Chase Street, and the guy graciously returned the iPod to me for the $175 he had paid for it. Now I’m once more running ads in the lost-and-found trying to find the rightful owner. And, of course, I’m currently out $100. I hate iPods, and I’m never, ever going to buy one. m “Hackie� is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Jernigan Pontiac, email hackie@sevendaysvt.com.

Title insurance companies ensure that sellers have clear title to the property they are selling. The title insurance company’s agent performs a thorough search of the public records and certifies that the proper parties signed the paper work, paid the taxes and discharged all liens each time the house changed hands. Why then, does a buyer need title insurance if these searches are so meticulous? Public records can be incorrect if a mistake was made when the legal document was recorded. When you buy owner’s title insurance, you are protected against forgeries, misrepresentation and mistakes made at any point during the chain of ownership. Someone may have forged a deed, divorce papers or a death certificate. For a onetime premium, title insurance provides protection against title claims even long after you sell your home. Legal expenses and other costs are paid by the company to defend your title. In Vermont, many title issues arise due to permit problems. One type of owner policy insures against loss arising from failure to have certain kinds of permits. Storm water issues are also making headlines and title problems could arise due to the complicated permitting requirements. Title insurance is like emergency oxygen on an airliner.

BY JUDITH LEVINE
ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION
God on Their Side?
T
“
he Chaplain is not a law enforcement officer, but a representative of God . . . Believing that God is the answer to man’s dilemma, the Chaplain stands ready to bear witness to the forgiving love and redeeming power of God, through Jesus Christ, to all people, especially to those in crisis.” So reads the official Hardwick-Greensboro Police Department Chaplain Training Manual, to be used by the town’s new police-sponsored cadre of clergy, the volunteer component of Hardwick’s new Police Education and Community Enrichment program. PEACE, for short. Recruited from among Hardwick’s eight houses of worship — four traditional and four modern evangelical Christian churches — the God Squad will offer counsel to stressed-out officers who request it. They will also ride along, at the officer’s behest, on calls promising conflict or crisis, from fights to car crashes — “situations,” says Police Chief Jim Dziobek, “where people’s faith might not be the strongest.” Among the qualifications for service are “God-like
It seems to me that this is a statement that the Hardwick Police Department not only endorses religion but endorses a particular religion. ATTORNEY MITCH PEARL
compassion” and a valid driver’s license. The uniform includes black shoes you can run in and, on the chaplain’s person, a small Bible and latex rubber gloves. The training manual is an amalgam of statistics and anecdotes, psychobabble and conventional counseling techniques for dealing with SIDS or suicide, prayers and constitutional interpretation, and a species of paranoia commonly circulated among politicized evangelicals: “Diversity is being taught in schools the problem is that diversity is for everyone except JudoChristian” (sic). “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.
The bulk of the document is the oeuvre of Reverend Bill Hinckley, of the Shield of Faith Ministries in Plainfield, Connecticut, to whom Dziobek was introduced two years ago by pastor James Tousant of Hardwick’s Promised Land Ministries. Since Hinckley conducted training in Morrisville, Tousant has served as Hardwick’s “unofficial” chaplain, accompanying officers on death-notification visits. After the bad news is delivered, the minister says, he sticks around to talk, to call family or funeral home — and, if asked, to pray. Dziobek is optimistic that an agent of a Higher Authority will help the worldly authorities manage Hardwick’s rowdier citizens when the program expands to include the drunk, disorderly and domestically violent. “People behave differently in church than they do at home,” the chief explains. “You bring that church point of view to the home, and people act different . . . “But we’re not trying to press religion on anyone,” he stresses, “or any particular religion.” I am not reassured. In fact, when this atheist Jew envisions a fundamentalist Christian padre at the elbow of a cop telling me my boyfriend has just been crushed on Route 14, I also imagine the Hardwick PD with a padrecide on its hands. Dziobek several times mentioned a similar program of the Vermont State Police. But Wayne Whitelock, a minister on the VSP’s Peer Support Team, emailed me to “make sure you did NOT refer to me as the ‘Vermont State Police Chaplain.’ The Vermont State Police does not have a Chaplaincy program and provides no religious services to their troops. There is a careful separation between church and state.” The team also does not work with the public. So are the well-meaning Jims, Dziobek and Tousant, unwittingly establishing a state religion in Hardwick? Since constitutional law relies on the perceptions of a “reasonable person,” I seek one: Mitch Pearl, at Langrock, Sperry and Wool, cooperating attorneys for the Vermont ACLU (on whose board I serve). The answer, says Pearl: It depends. To pass First Amendment muster, a state-sponsored function must be predominantly secular. The Salvation Army may receive state money to ladle soup to homeless people, so long as it doesn’t serve up Jesus with the meal. Presumably, the Promised Land pastor may hold a widow’s hand.
But the program can’t have either the purpose or the effect of inhibiting or advancing religion, or one religion. “What if a Wiccan volunteered?” Pearl muses. “If they said, sure, join us, that would be less of a problem.” Still, references to Jesus in the manual take him aback. “It’s hard to imagine a public body adopting as an official policy that God is the answer to man’s dilemma,” he says. “But it seems to me that this is a statement that the Hardwick Police Department not only endorses religion but endorses a particular religion. It sounds highly problematic.” Might the program be intrinsically religious and coercive? A chaplain is a chaplain, after all — religion is his business. And the cops aren’t offering a psychotherapist or a pie to comfort the bereaved. The police, moreover, are the police — coercion is their business. Even if the officer doesn’t order anyone to kneel and pray, the minister arrives under his aegis. Notes Pearl: “The police are authority figures. Most people believe they should cooperate with them.” Add to this the pressure to get along in a small town and, legality aside, some may feel disinclined to refuse the minister’s kind offer. “This is another of these things about being in a minority in a small town,” says one Hardwick Jew. “Usually, you don’t make too much noise.” Following “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy being,” the training manual’s second of Ten Commandments for Law Enforcement Chaplains is “Thou shalt love thy Police Department and all its personnel.” That may be balm to Hardwick’s police, who don’t get a whole lotta lovin’. The town of 3100 spends a quarter of its budget — $445,000 in FY2007 — on the force, and folks generally don’t feel they get what they pay for. (The department failed to arrest anyone for a series of break-ins last year, even though one victim watched the perpetrator take his wallet. Meanwhile, it issued 527 traffic warnings and 705 tickets.) So it’s reasonable for Chief Dziobek to try to make PEACE with the public. As America slouches toward theocracy, it’s not surprising he’s chosen God as his squad-car partner — or that I may be accused of churlishness for objecting. The U.S. is a secular democracy. Its Constitution protects my right to exercise religion — or not to. For now, my lawyer is drawing up a DNR order: Do Not Redeem. And if the good pastor decides to pray in my dooryard anyway, he’d better be wearing those black running shoes. m

n a normal day, the indoor tennis courts at South Burlington’s Sports & Fitness Edge are populated by grown-up players outfitted in neat tennis togs. It’s quiet — except for the rhythmic thwack of tennis balls and the occasional grunt. But on a recent, sultry Tuesday afternoon, the space has morphed into a three-court circus, with nearly 30 squealing pint-sized players rushing around after balls tossed by instructor Jake Agna of Burlington. “Go for 20, go for 20!â€? yells Agna, coaxing his protĂŠgĂŠs to hit consecutive shots during their rapid-fire drill. “Keep switching!â€? Burlington’s Marlynn Serwili, 7, wears jeans and a sparkly black T-shirt, her braids swinging as her racquet connects with a spinning yellow sphere. “I love this,â€? says Serwili, who moved to Vermont from Rwanda when she was 3 and has been playing tennis for more than a year now. “We just have fun — it’s a good place.â€? The tennis court has become a good place for hundreds of kids, thanks to Agna, who works with the King Street Youth Center introducing tennis to at-risk youth aged 4 to 14. This summer, Agna’s “Kids on the Ballâ€? program turns six, and Vermont’s pied piper of tennis is celebrating by expanding his vision to include new populations around Burlington. He’s transforming “Fit to Liveâ€? is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Sarah Tuff, email tuff@sevendaysvt.com.
tennis from a country-club pastime to an athletic endeavor accessible to young people from Bosnia, Somalia and the Dominican Republic. For his efforts, Agna recently received a prestigious United States Tennis Association award. Agna’s populist approach to the game comes from his own upbringing, playing “pick-up� tennis in an Ohio public park. Instead of being carted off to organized lessons, says Agna, kids just showed up and played tennis the way they do basketball today. “I was with kids with from all different backgrounds at all different times,� he says. “It was a great way to grow up.� After relocating to Vermont in 1984, Agna began running a junior development program at Twin Oaks, now Sports & Fitness Edge. Between coaching the girls team at South Burlington High School and teaching adults, he often worked 60-plus hours a week. But Agna says that something was missing. “I was just around affluent kids most of the time,� he notes. In the late 1990s, he received a letter from an instructor he knew from Ohio who was teaching inner-city kids in Los Angeles through a program founded by tennis champion Arthur Ashe. “I started giving serious thought to nonprofit tennis — I wanted to introduce it to kids who’d never played it before,� says Agna, now 52. “A public park for everybody.� The idea was a smash hit in Burlington. Within two weeks of mailing letters to his

regular tennis clientele, Agna had enough funds for 30 scholarships for at-risk kids to learn the sport. Today, funding for the 35 winter and 50 summer participants comes through some large foundations that work with the King Street Youth Center, but also corporations such as the CocaCola distributor who donates PowerAde, and individuals who drop old Wilson and Prince rac-
from the sidelines. “They don’t even realize they’re learning to play tennis,” she notes. Several King Street players have made the Burlington High School teams, but it seems to please Agna just as much that he runs into twentysomethings on Church Street who say they’re still playing for fun. “We’ve had kids bounce out of this thing and become good players, but it’s not

quets into the large bin at Sports & Fitness Edge. “I run into hundreds of people who want to give 10 or 15 dollars,” says Agna. He often recruits kids on walks through lowincome neighborhoods. Players from more affluent families also join the clinics. “Sometimes, I take on so many kids, I say, ‘This is just berserk!’” says Agna. “But I have three courts, and I have a hard time turning anyone down.” King Street Development Director Bonnie Ferro says tennis is the number-one activity of choice for the kids, who are shuttled on a bright-red bus to Sports & Fitness Edge and to exclusive clubs around the state on tennis field trips. Starting this summer, Agna will add new clinics for 35 more kids at Roosevelt and Callahan parks. Instead of pitting the kids against each other in matches, Agna subtly teaches volleying and footwork by setting up targets and emphasizing continual play. Even between drills, he motivates the players by proclaiming that all the balls must be picked up in one minute; the mundane task becomes a game. “Kids pick up basketball because nobody’s teaching them. If you make baskets, you’re a good player,” says Agna. “So I tell the kids, if you make 10 in a row, you’re a good player.” In the “Kids on the Ball” world, a good player does not necessarily mean one bound for Wimbledon or the U.S. Open. While some tennis programs produce amped-up parents determined to produce the next Williams sisters, the few laid-back adults who attend Agna’s sessions seem as captivated by his magnetism as the kids do. At Sports & Fitness Edge, 7year-old Hawa Adan of Burlington, wearing Somalian dress, takes turns with 6-year-old Ada Arms of South Burlington, attired in a tennis skirt and top. Ada’s mom, Allison, watches
about creating a champion,” says Agna. “It’s about getting more people playing a lifelong sport.” Agna has played so much tennis that he’s had two hips replaced. Nonetheless, he says the last few years have been the best of his career. He dispenses life lessons as discreetly as he does basic tennis skills. “This is a comfortable way of learning rules, learning how to get along and learning how to come back when you get down,” says Agna. “All the things that are important in life, like discipline and being in control of your emotions, you can learn from tennis.” Toward the end of the Tuesday afternoon practice, the kids play a game of Elimination with Nerf balls; when they miss a shot, they’re asked to put down their racquets and move to the other side of the net, to catch the incoming balls. One girl misses, scowls, stamps her feet and throws her racquet with a loud clatter. Agna keeps rhythmically tossing balls to the other kids and defuses the tantrum by announcing that the girl must be a temperamental genius. “We have a softer, gentler way of getting into the game; we want it to be successful,” says Agna. “So I really try to keep an eye on a person who looks like they’re teetering on going off.” The goal, he says, is to “to make something winnable” from the situation. In February, Agna flew to Hollywood to accept the 2005 Eve Kraft Community Service Award; the evening was captured on a DVD. But his smile during his acceptance speech doesn’t compare to the mega-watt beams he exhibits while handing out rolls of Lifesavers at the end of his Tuesday lesson. Is the candy reward the best part of the afternoon? Marlynn Serwili tucks her treat into her jeans pocket and shakes her head before leaving to board the red bus. “Actually,” she says, “the best part was just playing tennis.” m

Tales from the Cryptographer Security guru Bruce Schneier busts the myths of post-9/11 safety measures
B STORY
KEN PICARD Bruce Schneier is a featured speaker at a daylong conference, “Privacy: How Much Is Left?” June 13, 10:15 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., Capitol Plaza Hotel, Montpelier. Info, 223-6304.
ruce Schneier has little patience for pointless security measures. As an internationally acclaimed cryptographer and security expert who travels extensively for work, he encounters them every day. Most airline passengers probably have wondered whether taking off their shoes for airport screeners accomplishes anything. Schneier not only understands why it doesn’t, he can explain why it actually make us less secure. As he puts it, “If we’re relying on airport screeners to prevent terrorism, it’s already too late. After all, we can’t keep weapons out of prisons. How can we ever hope to keep them out of airports?” Schneier, 43, has the same assessment of the National Security Agency’s controversial program of eavesdropping on American citizens. While advocates of socalled “data-mining” projects claim they can help foil future terrorist plots, Schneier contends that they’re not just costly, time-consuming and an invasion of privacy; they’re also ineffective at catching terrorists. He argues that when it comes to defending homeland security, the real choice we need to make isn’t between security and privacy. It’s between liberty and a police state. Schneier should know. As founder and chief technology officer of Counterpane Internet Security, a global Internet security firm, he is considered an authority on emerging security threats. Schneier has appeared in such media outlets as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, USA Today, Wired and The Economist. He’s been interviewed on National Public Radio and CNN, and publishes a free monthly newsletter called “Crypto-Gram,” which has more than 100,000 subscribers. He has also testified before Congress on national security issues. Schneier’s book, Applied Cryptography, is considered such a seminal work in the field of secret codes that author Dan Brown used him as a “realistic background detail” in The DaVinci Code. Schneier’s latest book, Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain World, explains to the non-expert many of the overarching principles of security, from securing ATM machines to safeguarding nuclear secrets. Next week, he is a featured speaker at a daylong seminar in Montpelier, entitled “Privacy: How Much Is Left?” It is sponsored by the ACLU-Vermont. Seven Days interviewed Schneier by phone during a recent layover at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.
SEVEN DAYS: You began your career as a cryptographer. How did you become an expert on security in general? BRUCE SCHNEIER: A lot of the methodology and formal ways of thinking we develop for computer security have a lot of applicability to real-world security — to airplanes, ID cards. Everything involves a computer these days. SD: It seems as though understanding security is less about understanding the technology than the human psychology it’s predicated on. BS: I think the human factors are much more important. Knowing what technology can and can’t do is vital, but too often people believe that technology can solve the human problem. It can’t. Burglaries are a great example. Burglaries have been a problem for 5000 years. We use technology to control it, but we don’t solve the problem. SD: You’re in an airport right now. Of all the security measures implemented since 9/11, what’s the most absurd? BS: The ID checks. There have been exactly two things that have improved airport security since 9/11: reinforcing the cockpit door and teaching passengers that they have to fight back. This whole ID check everywhere is ridiculous. Everybody has an ID. So what? Osama bin Laden has an ID. All the 9/11 hijackers had IDs. You can fly under a fake name and a fake ID really easily. It’s pure security theater.
SD: What’s the focus of your presentation in Vermont? BS: I’m going to try to paint a picture of the future of privacy. In the modern technological world, what are the logical extensions of today’s technology that we’re likely to see? How many years will it be before a “life recorder” is a reasonable thing to carry? That’s something that you’ll wear on your lapel that’ll audio-record everything that happens to you. That’s probably only five or six years away. Nobody will mug you because you have your life recorder as evidence. Surveillance technologies come about because more of our transactions are being done by computers, and computers make records. Instead of putting a quarter into a tollbooth, we use an EZ Pass. Instead of paying cash, we pay with credit cards. Records are generated, and as the storage [cost] drops to free, and the processing [cost] drops to free, more records are saved. SD: What’s wrong with this enormous aggregation of data? BS: It’s very troubling because it goes to the heart of liberty and individuality. The right to do things while not being watched is very fundamental to humanity, whether we sing in the shower or have private conversations with friends. If we are constantly under gaze, we can’t experiment as human beings. When we know we’re being watched, our lives are altered, even if we’re doing nothing wrong . . . Amazon can collect my data — actually, I like it when they present me with books I might want to buy — and we gladly trade data for convenience. What we don’t like is when we lose control over it, when it
goes into the hands of data brokers and is used for things we’re not aware of. SD: What’s the biggest threat to our privacy? BS: The confluence of corporate and government interests. Right now, data that is illegal for the government to collect they buy from corporations. And, data that corporations can’t possibly get they buy from the government. So there’s this confluence. And it’s not because someone is being malicious. It’s because that’s where technology is leading us. Corporations are not public charities. They will do whatever will make them the most profit that’s legal. SD: Have we already fallen too far down the rabbit hole? BS: We’re living in a very unique time. The cameras are everywhere, yet you can still see them. ID checks are ubiquitous and you know they’re going on. Ten years from now, you won’t see the cameras. All the ID checks will be RFID [radio frequency identification] or face recognition, and will happen without your knowledge. Surveillance will just fade into the background of society. SD: Is data mining useful? BS: It depends. Data mining’s great success story is credit-card fraud. Data mining systems comb through all of our transactions looking for patterns of credit-card thieves. And they catch them. Why does that work? A bunch of reasons. First, there’s a reasonable percentage of credit cards stolen each year, so the number of bad guys you’re looking for is high. Second, credit-card thieves follow pretty regular patterns
you can look for. They have standard profiles. Third, the cost of a false negative isn’t that great. If you catch 25 percent of the credit-card thieves with this system, that’s fantastic. If you miss 75 percent, so what? The business is still profitable. Four, the cost of a false positive is very low. You get a call from a credit-card company saying, “Did you buy a big-screen television in Omaha today?” You say yes, and life goes on. SD: Why doesn’t this work for national security? BS: When you apply this to terrorism, you get completely different answers. First, terrorists are extremely rare. Two, terrorists don’t have defining patterns you can search for . . . How many of us change jobs each year? Change friends? Changing your baseline is normal. Terrorists are like any other group of people planning an operation, whether it be a surprise birthday party or a bank robbery. The only difference is that their operation is illegal. SD: What else? BS: The cost of false negatives is very high. Security is a tradeoff, and if you build a system that misses 75 to 90 percent, it’s ineffective. Lastly, the cost of false positives is very high. It’s a twoweek FBI investigation. We saw this in the first NSA eavesdropping scandal. The New York Times reported that there were about 1000 people that this system had the FBI investigate. Every one of them was a false alarm. That’s completely wasted time and effort. SD: Is there a fundamental security flaw the government is missing?

BS: It’s not a flaw. If you look at what they’re doing, it makes sense [to them]. If you were a government official, you want to err on the side of more visible security . . .

SD: What keeps you awake at night? BS: The biggest thing to worry about is the alliance of industry and government because it’s making things possible that weren’t before. There’s a great quote from [George] Orwell from the 1940s, which says that basically, police states have been kept in check because they’re so inefficient. They’re not inefficient anymore. The dream of a dossier on everybody in the country was realized already. ChoicePoint [the credit verification company] has a dossier on everybody in the country because it’s their business. A massive police state — knowing who talks to whom, especially as more of our communication goes on the Internet — becomes easy. And you don’t have to be malicious to do it. You just need to be providing good customer service. m

SD: Is profiling the answer? BS: We all profile. The difference is smart profiling versus dumb profiling. If you see a guy running at you with a bloody knife, you profile. Maybe he’s a butcher chasing a woman who forgot her change. Maybe he’s not. But you have to profile the right things. Racial and sexual profiling don’t work because you’re inviting the bad guys to not meet the profile. When you fall back on stereotypes, that’s when you fall blind to the real threats.
SD: What can we do? BS: I don’t have any tips. We’re screwed. The data about us is not controlled by us. The only tip is to get involved politically. It isn’t something you solve with “10 easy tips to keeping your privacy.� We need legislation, because technology is working against us.

SD: So, we ask people to take their shoes off in the airport because there was one shoe bomber. BS: You just have to be thankful he wasn’t an underwear bomber.
SD: Is it possible for people to cover their digital footprints? BS: Probably not . . . Think about trying to live your life without getting into a computer. Buying things with cash is suspicious. You can’t rent a car, you can’t get on an airplane. Throughout our day we leave digital footprints. If you’re the bad guy, you take solace in the fact that everybody does. If you’re watching everybody, you’re watching nobody.

We’re seeking a male mentor—someone who remembers what it means to be a teenager transitioning into an adult world. Our client is 16, outgoing, responsible, and open-minded. When he’s not staying physically active, he’s reading or playing board games.This adolescent loves the outdoors, animals, cooking, and fishing. His ideal mentor will be supportive, helpful to him in learning independent living skills, transitioning into adulthood, and challenging him to move forward in his life goals.

Actually, Jacob Edgar’s life story so far — he turns 37 this month — reads like a series of right-time-right-place events. His stepfather, a puppeteer who worked with Bread and Puppet and other performing-arts groups, moved the family
to Vermont when Edgar was 9. While growing up in Plainfield, attending school at Twinfield and U-32, he quickly developed musical and international interests. Edgar was a counselor and trumpet player for Circus Smirkus and taught music at the Governor’s Institute on the Arts. He went to the former Soviet Union with Project Harmony, and spent a year in Reykjavik, Iceland, as an exchange student. At Oberlin College, where Edgar earned a Bachelor’s in history and Latin American studies, he was “always trying to come up with ways to write papers that had something to do with music,” he explains. “I actually wrote a paper on [Vermont’s] Nisht Geferlach Klezmer Band, and I did research on Puerto Rican music and the Afro-Cuban santería religion.” He spent a semester in Costa Rica researching Central American music, and there met his half-Dutch wife, Deirdre Holmes — they now have two young daughters. On scholarship at UCLA, Edgar got a Master’s in ethnomusicology, and afterwards moved to San Francisco to work for a small label and distributor of world music. That inclusive classification, a marketing term developed in the late 1980s, is “inappropriate but practical,” Edgar says. “I sometimes use ‘international music.’ I describe it as music that has some kind of connection with culture or tradition — in language, instrumentation, the way it’s played.” When Edgar met Dan Storper, the founder of Putumayo, his “world” suddenly got a whole lot bigger. Putumayo began some 30 years ago selling clothing and imported crafts, but now the brand is better known for its popular compilation discs of music from all over the planet. In fact, Storper eventually sold the clothing line to focus exclusively on his label. It had begun, as so many music collections do, as a personalized labor of love. Storper “was trying to come up with the right music for his shops,” Edgar explains — tunes that suited the ethnic merchandise as well as his

Charles Eller Studios stays the same. Cumbancha will bring in projects — I’ve been spreading the word with my network of artists that they need to come here. JACOB EDGAR own tastes. One day, Storper happened to hear a Nigerian band at an outdoor concert in San Francisco, and observed that the audience enjoying the show was “all races, no baggage,” as Edgar puts it. It was exactly the kind of exuberant, pan-cultural experience Storper was looking for. He began compiling tapes to play in his stores, and soon customers were asking for them. Storper was on to something, but he was a music lover, not a scholar. Enter Jacob Edgar. “Dan needed someone to do research and development, to make the CDs broader. I had to listen to thousands of records, travel to different countries, and meet artists,” Edgar complains with tongue in cheek. In fact, it was a young ethnomusicologist’s dream job come true. Putumayo’s marketing model is savvy: Titles such as Sahara Lounge, Brazilian Groove and French Café are sold not only in record stores but also clothing and giftshop outlets where the music is often filling the airwaves as well. And the company’s tagline — “Guaranteed to make you feel good” — has a socially conscious subtext. On the back of the recent Turkish Groove CD, for example, the fine print
says that a portion of proceeds from its sale will be donated “to support . . . efforts to improve child care and education for disadvantaged children in Turkey.” Oh, and those informative texts about the artists? Edgar’s handiwork. “I write all the liner notes,” he says. “For many years I also supervised the rights and clearances for artists and was an artist liaison. I’m a bad workaholic,” Edgar continues, “but I’m also passionate about the Putumayo mission — it’s a vehicle to understand and appreciate the diversity of cultures.” These experiences, and multiple opportunities to “discover” musicians in other countries, eventually led Edgar to envision his own label, one that would produce single-artist releases. “I wanted to work more closely with some of the artists I’ve gotten to know,” he explains. “Dan also liked the idea of doing single artists, but it was hard for Putumayo to take that risk — its model is better for compilations. So he invested in my company.” Putumayo will also distribute Cumbancha products, a huge boon for Edgar and an opportunity to bring wider 31A >>

attention to even more artists. His first release just came out — ÂĄAy Caramba! by Ska Cubano. An infectiously danceable disc, the music is a collaboration of renowned London ska singer Natty Bo and Cuban crooner Beny Billy. It was previously recorded, but Edgar picked it up as Cumbancha’s debut and will promote the band’s upcoming North American tour. Cumbancha, by the way, is a West African word meaning “an impromptu musical get-together,â€? Edgar explains. “A cumbanchero is a party animal.â€? What’s all this got to do with Charles Eller Studios? Nothing so far, but read on. When Edgar began fantasizing about his own label, he also thought a lot about coming back to Vermont. He and his family had been living in New York City for a few years, as well as a year in Amsterdam. But with two growing girls, now 6 and 3, the couple pined for a less urban environment. “We wanted to come back [here] someday — a lot of Vermonters think that,â€? says Edgar. “We wanted to be in a beautiful place with a community of like-minded people.â€? A mutual family friend, Marshfield musician Diana Winn Levine, made the EllerEdgar connection last summer, though Eller’s place was no longer officially for sale. “We were torn about it,â€? Eller says, “so we just kept failing to put it on the market. We were waiting . . . for something.â€? Apparently, waiting for Jacob Edgar to come along. “We met Chuck and explained what we wanted to do, and all the pieces just started to fall into place,â€? Edgar says. “I loved the idea of having a studio outside my door. Chuck and Lane have done an amazing thing here, and I wanted to keep it going.â€? So Eller sold his house to the Edgar family but kept the studio. He and Gibson continue to work with Vermont clients, and Edgar will recruit international artists to record for his label. “Basically Charles Eller Studios stays the same,â€? Edgar confirms. “Cumbancha will bring in projects — I’ve been spreading the word with my network of artists that they need to come here.â€? Edgar has a Putumayo project, a children’s artist from Trinidad named Asheba, in the Charlotte pipeline as well. “As Cumbancha evolves, I’ll get more involved in the studio,â€? Edgar says. “It will be an apprenticeship kind of transition for me, since I’ve come from another aspect of the business.â€? He also expects to take Eller to other parts of the world for remote recordings. “Hanitra is the leader of a band in Madagascar; she wants me to come there to produce her record,â€? Edgar notes. “It’s the type of project I could envision.â€?
“We’ll potentially use some Vermont musicians on records with international artists,� Eller adds, suggesting that “crosspollination� will be advantageous for the homegrown music scene. So would a worldmusic series at a local venue such as Higher Ground; Edgar says he could see that happening down the road. “Right now my dilemma is too many fun choices.� Nice work if you can get it. For Eller, joining forces with Edgar and Cumbancha feels like a circle coming full. “At one point in my life I was going to go into the study of ethnomusicology, at Wesleyan,� he reminisces, “but some of my grades from UVM wouldn’t transfer, and then I got involved in [former Ferrisburgh studio/label] Philo Records.� Eller’s path also led him to co-found the jazz ensemble Kilimanjaro, whose debut recording in 1981 reached number three on national music charts; a second album two years later reached number 5. As it happens, 20 years after Kilimanjaro broke up, they’re performing a reunion show, with some newly composed tunes, at the Discover Jazz Fest this week. Kilimanjaro called it quits in part out of frustration with the major-label music biz, but also because another opportunity came along they couldn’t refuse: Big Joe Burrell. As the Unknown Blues Band, keyboardist Eller and his musical mates backed the beloved saxman for nearly two decades. That’s how long Eller has been behind the soundboard as well; at his first studio in an apartment on South Union Street, then in the room-with-a-ruralview in Charlotte, Chuck “Ears� Eller has earned a reputation for his recording finesse. And don’t get the idea that place in San Pancho is just for hanging by the pool with a chilled Sangria. Yes, it will be a winter get-away for the Ellers. But with three buildings on a “very old-Mexico� compound, he says, “We want to have basically a B&B where friends, clients, Jacob, Lane, etc., can come down and do some work, and write it off!� And with the much larger city of Puerto Vallarta just half an hour away, Eller adds, “There’s a real market for a recording studio. We could probably have it up and running by next winter . . .� Edgar doesn’t seem to be in any hurry for a south-of-theborder vacation. He travels constantly anyway. But in recent weeks he’s been catching up with old Vermont friends, working on his Cumbancha business plan and thinking about putting down roots. “I hope I can return what this place gave me, growing up and seeing some great shows here,� he says. Even in Vermont, he suggests, “Diversity is already a part of our lives.� m

OFF THE CLEF Move over, jazz fest — Burlington’s Jazz Guys kick out the jams and stomp on them story: casey rea images: matthew thorsen CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: MAX SCHWARTZ, HERB VAN DER POLL, MAARTEN VAN DER POLL, FRANK ZAMIELLO
It’s pretty audacious to name your band after a genre you don’t actually perform. But Burlington’s irreverent rockers The Jazz Guys have never played by the rules. At last year’s Discover Jazz Fest, they were banished from the Church Street Marketplace following a particularly loud, bratty performance that pissed off listeners expecting something closer to swing or bebop. They’ve since become scene darlings, thrilling audiences with playfully infectious music that kicks ass and splits sides. They celebrate the release of their debut disc, A Blessing in Disguise, at Club Metronome this week. The Jazz Guys’ musical riffs are as potent as their comedic ones. A powerful chemistry exists between bassist-vocalist Herb van der Poll, guitarists-vocalists Max Schwartz and Maarten van der Poll, all 24, and drummer-vocalist Frank Zamiello, 31. Their explosive sound recalls classic rockers such as The Yardbirds, The Kinks and The Who, but with a punky, satirical edge. The genesis of the group dates back to 1998, when Grafton, Massachusetts, high school pals Herb van der Poll and Schwartz were given an assignment for a music history class. “It’s a fascinating story, actually,” van der Poll says. “Our teacher showed us a painting of old jazz musicians and told us to come up with a tale about what that scene was like. So we wrote a musical about a band that was trying to escape a crazy ex-girlfriend.” That fictional band was called The Jazz Guys. The course was completed, but the tunes kept coming. When van der Poll’s twin brother Maarten came aboard, a flesh-and-blood version of TJG was born. A couple of years later, members headed off to college. Maarten van der Poll and Schwartz enrolled at Johnson State, where the latter, ironically, studied jazz guitar. Herb van der Poll attended the University of Massachusetts and tinkered with tunes in his bedroom. He also participated in an improvisational comedy troupe, honing skills that come in handy on stage today. When he transferred to Plainfield’s Goddard College in 2001, Vermont became Jazz Guys headquarters. The band went through a few drummers, settling on Zamiello in 2003. His powerfully articulate style went a long way towards tightening the group’s spasmodic sound. “That was the true birth of The Jazz Guys,” says Schwartz. Herb van der Poll remembers his first encounter with Zamiello. “Frank was this arrogant, off-putting motherfucker,” he jokes. “But we heard he was an amazing drummer.” Seven Days recently engaged the band in a fast-paced fourway. Conversation, that is.
The Jazz Guys, with Missy Bly and the Breaking In, Club Metronome, Burlington, June 9, 9 p.m. $6.
SEVEN DAYS: You’ve managed to win over a lot of local rock fans. What are you trying to communicate to them, musically speaking? FRANK ZAMIELLO: It’s not obvious? SD: Well, it might be to me, but what about others? HERB VAN DER POLL: We’re not trying to communicate anything. We’re trying to recapture the sensation of music that excites and inspires us. We hope that on some level, people will feel that when we play. SD: I have to admit, when I first heard you guys in 2003, I felt as though I was being put on. But I was blown away at a Red Square gig the following year. How did you improve so quickly? MAX SCHWARTZ: Well, there was some extensive practicing. HVP: To some people we come off as though we don’t take anything seriously, and the music is a joke. But it’s never actually been that way.
dizzying heights. SD: So it’s your “Stairway to Heaven”? HVP: Well, it’s more like a “Speed Bump to Limbo.” SD: Your new disc is about to be released. What happens after that? FZ: We’re gonna sell it! HVP: Actually, the goal is to let as many people have access to the music as possible. I mean, nobody makes money selling music anymore. FZ: Well, at least not the bands. MS: So why should we? HVP: It’s not always the case; The Arctic Monkeys had the most downloaded album in history a week before the actual disc came out. But people still went out and bought it. FZ: Yet I’ve never heard of them. HVP: Oh, they totally suck. SD: Have you ever been bothered by an angry swing combo that took offense to your name?
MVP: Playing live is the most fun part of being in a band. So finding your tightest pair of pants and your coolest shirt kind of psychs you up to perform. FZ: Everybody’s got their little rock outfits that they put on. Kiss had them, [AC/DC guitarist] Angus Young had them. MVP: It’s like when Superman comes out of the phone booth. FZ: And do you think Superman is comfortable? But you know why he does it? He does it for the fans. SD: You all seem really connected when you play live. What’s it like when you put down your instruments? MVP: Three of us live together. And until last April, Frank lived across the street. There was our apartment, his place, and a bunch of college kids on all sides. We took a lot of comfort in having each other there. MS: Frank was, like, the old man on the street. He’d be constantly yelling at these young kids who were just trying to have a good time. FZ: Yeah, at my expense. It was driving me crazy.
Their explosive sound recalls classic rockers such as The Yardbirds, The Kinks and The Who, but with a punky, satirical edge. SD: Your early performances frequently included the reading of fan mail. Who is the typical Jazz Guys enthusiast? FZ: Look in the mirror, my friend. HVP: Our appeal is pretty broad. There are people that are into us who are obsessed with music, and know all the subsub-genres. But there are also people who don’t go to a lot of rock shows that seem to really like us. FZ: Because we offer them free beer. SD: You’ve scaled the heights of Burlington rock stardom. Is it lonely at the top? HVP: When you’re as brilliant as we are, it can be very isolating. MS: Regular people seem like cattle. MAARTEN VAN DER POLL: Thank God we have each other. SD: Your songs are typically straight-up rockers. Will we be hearing a Jazz Guys power ballad anytime soon? MVP: We’re hoping to have one together for our next performance. FZ: Every great arena-rock band needs a ballad. MVP: Unfortunately, none of us have [Journey front man] Steve Perry’s voice. HVP: We definitely don’t want to fall into the trap of writing the same song over and over. So we came up with a softer song, an anthem to unrequited love. But it’s still got some
MS: We had a hard time with a band in Oregon when we were trying to buy the domain name “JazzGuys.com.” We contacted them to purchase it. They never wrote back. But a couple of months later, the name was on an auction site starting at $600. MVP: So we took theJazzGuys.com. MS: Now it seems that they have disbanded. SD: Would you be annoyed if there was a jazz band called The Indie-Rock Dudes? MVP: That’d be great. SD: Would you tour with them? MS: No. MVP: I’d go see them play. FZ: I wouldn’t. HVP: Our name showcases our sense of irony. FZ: It’s more your sense of irony. MVP: We looked up jazz in the dictionary once . . . FZ: Just once, though. MVP: . . . and there were a few definitions. One was to make things better, to “jazz up.” And the other was “to deceive,” as in, “Don’t jazz me.” HVP: It’s said that art is the lie that brings you to the truth. Hence, The Jazz Guys. SD: You wear snazzy clothes when performing, but I imagine tight trousers aren’t always comfortable. Would you ever consider wearing sweatpants?
HVP: Maarten and I are twins, and we’ve known Max since the third grade. Frank fits in musically, but he’s also likeminded. Maybe you can fake that kind of chemistry, but I wouldn’t know how to do it. SD: It seems like a pretty fun lifestyle. Are there any downsides? FZ: Ask us after something cool happens. MS: I think it’s coordinating our schedules. We all work very different hours. SD: Is there any fear that audiences outside of Vermont might not get where you’re coming from? MVP: I think there’s still fear about audiences inside Vermont. FZ: But you never know how anything’s gonna go over. HVP: We really try to read the crowd as the show is going on. We’re constantly interacting with and engaging them. But in order to expand our audience, we’ll need to start looking out of town. We’ve pretty much mined what there is here. It’s kind of a crossroads. SD: Can you see yourselves playing together into old age, like the Stones? FZ: As long as we keep writing exciting music that’s interesting to ourselves, why not? MVP: If I can still stand being in a room with these guys, I’ll keep doing it. m

Growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts, Bemis discovered jazz as a 6-year-old listening to the radio. His first jazz memory is hearing Fats Waller playing piano. Later he liked to stay up late to tune in remote broadcasts of big bands playing at hotel ballrooms. His parents were supportive; mom had been a promising pianist, and dad had abandoned plans to go into show business. Both retained their love for music, and encouraged their son’s interest. When he was still “no higher than a table,â€? Bemis recalls, the family stayed at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, where he met his first jazz musicians: the vibraphonist Red Norvo and his wife, singer Mildred Bailey. 862-2714 • Williston Road, So.

He and a friend saw Duke Ellington in Springfield, and traveled to New York to see Louis Armstrong. “My parents didn’t seem to mind that,� he reflects. “They were happy that I was interested in something.� Bemis was never much of a student. What he liked about jazz, he says, “was that I considered it my music. It wasn’t anything anybody told me I had to listen to. I was never very receptive to those sorts of things anyway,� he acknowledges with a laugh. When Bemis was in high school, the “sweet� bandleader Sammy Kaye brought his radio show, “So You Want to Lead the Band,� to Springfield. In a sort of precursor to “American Idol,� contestants conducted Kaye’s ensemble and audience applause picked the favorite. Bemis, who was just 17, led the band in “The Jersey Bounce.� He took first place, and went on to the nationals in Hollywood, where his performance on “The One O’Clock Jump� won him $1000 — a princely sum in 1945. He used it to buy a drum kit from Kaye’s percussionist. Bemis played with a high school band, The Midnight Suns. But, he demurs, “I was never very good. I couldn’t coordinate my limbs.� After high school, Bemis moved to New York, where he worked by day at Barnes & Noble, and by night soaked up music, at clubs such as the Five Spot, the Half Note and Birdland. He also became friends with the jazz guitarist Sal Salvador, who had played with Stan Kenton before forming his own group. Attending jam sessions with Salvador brought Bemis in contact with bassist Oscar Pettiford and many other musicians. Although he served for a while as Salvador’s personal manager, Bemis found he wasn’t cut out for the grittier aspects of the work. “I didn’t know all the wheelings and dealings and things like that,� he notes. “I’m not a tough business man.� But he was deeply committed to introducing people to the music he loved.

question was, how? Bemis was pointed in the right direction by a man named Marshall Stearns, who held meetings in his Greenwich Village home for aficionados interested in promoting jazz through classes and lectures. Stearns’ efforts led to the foundation of the Institute for Jazz Studies in Newark, New Jersey. Ultimately, though, it was Anne Bemis who helped her husband find his niche. For a long time, she’d told him he could do a better job than the disc jockeys she heard on the radio. Plus, the RCA Broadcasting Institute was right across the street. With his wife’s encouragement,
Given his devotion to the urban art of jazz, Vermont might seem an odd choice of residence for Bemis. But he’s also devoted to his family, and with two young daughters, he and Anne opted in 1966 for a more child-friendly, saner life. “I’m not the kind of guy that should be in New York City,” Bemis observes. “It was too intense for me.” The move proved a boon for Vermont. At a time when area schools offered no jazz courses, and there was no jazz festival in the area, Bemis produced the state’s first jazz show, on WRUV at UVM, where he was working at the college

Bemis attended a six-month licensing program in the early 1960s. After successfully learning how to run the boards, Bemis convinced WBAI, an independent New York radio station, to give him a chance. He began interviewing musicians, fearlessly starting with big-band leader Woody Herman, whom he interviewed in the basement of Birdland, and drummer Sonny Greer, a veteran of the Duke Ellington Orchestra. How did a novice broadcaster convince big-name acts to sit down and talk with him? He just asked.

One early guest was Larry McCrorey, who credits Bemis with making his own jazz-radio career possible. When he came to town in 1966 as an assistant professor in physiology, McCrorey says, he went looking for the local jazz scene. He found Bemis’ radio show. “He was as helpful to me as anybody could possibly be,” says McCrorey, who went on to become a UVM administrator and is now professor emeritus. “He

He taught a not-for-credit class in the music department, then went to the school of ed, where he offered a graduate-level course for teachers interested in incorporating jazz into their curricula. “I didn’t have any degree,� he points out, still marveling that he was teaching teachers. “I barely made it out of high school.� McCrorey recalls it differently. “I don’t think the university treated him very well,� he says, “because many people didn’t understand the art form itself, and had a rather antiquated view of jazz — that it wasn’t ‘high art.’� When Bemis first proposed his course, McCrorey goes on, “there were all sorts of barricades set up. Ed had to fight like hell.� Persistence is one way to explain how Bemis amassed such a vast collection of interviews with jazz luminaries who’ve played over the past four decades in the region. The conversations are historically significant. Max Roach talked to Bemis for an hour about the evolution of be-bop. Ornette

give the slot to Bill Cole, out of Hanover — for the “geographical diversity,� Bemis was told. Looking back, he’s just as glad, Bemis says. He enjoys the freedom of college radio. His WRUV show ran until 1979. When he left his job at UVM to work at the Dartmouth College bookstore, he produced a similar show there for the next 14 years. Since his retirement in 1993, he’s had a regular Tuesday-night gig on the St. Michael’s College station, WWPV 88.7 FM. He takes the bus to the Colchester studio — neither he nor Anne has ever learned how to drive. Off the air, Bemis has found other ways to spread the word. Although today UVM has a thriving jazz program, nothing of the sort existed 40 years ago. Bemis began lecturing on jazz history and playing records — first at a Church Street coffee shop, then for the jazz club at St. Mike’s, and finally at UVM.
Coleman described his “harmelodic� style, and Julius Hempfel described his work with the World Saxophone Quartet. Roy Eldridge, whom Bemis calls the next really great trumpeter after Louis Armstrong, told him how Benny Goodman effectively ended Fletcher Henderson’s career when he bought his arrangements. Bemis hopes to combine his interest in jazz and books by publishing selections from his most interesting exchanges. But first he needs legal advice about copyright issues, and someone to transcribe the tapes; Bemis can’t type. Whoever takes the job will hear the likes of Slide Hampton, Oscar Peterson, Marian McPartland, Chico Hamilton, Sun Ra and Lester Bowie, to name just a few. Missing from the list is Wynton Marsalis. Even a promoter has his preferences. “I shouldn’t say this to you,�

Music for the Masses Vermont’s town bands tune up for another summer season
WITH THE BAND? Seems like almost everybody was once, including these local ex-players: ANDY MONTROLL, Burlington, attorney and city councilor “My grandmother gave me a violin at birth,” Montroll reports. “I started playing it when I was in third grade, and played until I was in ninth grade. Unfortunately, after about fifth grade, I just never got any better. I said, ‘All right, that’s not one of my talents.’”

othing says summer like a concert in the park. For some, that means buying tickets to the Vermont Mozart Festival. But if you’re in the mood for a cheaper, more eclectic, albeit somewhat less polished program, you might prefer a performance by one of Vermont’s many town bands. Dozens of communities across the state boast ensembles that play pop songs, marches, ragtime numbers and show tunes, often in the bandstand on the town green. You don’t have to buy tickets or make reservations for their concerts; admission is usually free. Not that you have to attend a show to hear them play — they also appear in parades, at picnics, or at other civic celebrations, such as festivities in honor of Memorial Day or the Fourth of July. Their performances aren’t always the most professional. Few town band members make a living playing music. Most volunteer their time. But if they sometimes hit a few wrong notes, they compensate with an abundance of heart. Burlington Concert Band musical director Steve Sawyer explains their appeal. His group plays Sundays from 7 to 9 p.m. in the bandshell at Battery Park; their season begins June 18 and ends August 13. “There’s something about a concert on a Sunday night next to Beansie’s bus,” he muses. “There’s something very American about it.” Town bands have a long history in Vermont; Burlington’s has been around since 1851, though the band’s website — www.burlingtonconcertband.org — reveals that the music has stopped a few times over the years, most notably when conductor Edward Paige was arrested “on suspicion of embezzlement from the Burlington Railroad” in the 1870s. He was later acquitted. But Burlington’s band isn’t the oldest in Vermont — that honor belongs to the town musicians of St. Johnsbury, whose band was established in 1830. The youngest is perhaps Milton, which formed its ensemble just five years ago, during the summer of 2001. Michael Sherman, author of Freedom and Unity: A History of Vermont, wrote an essay on town bands that is posted to the Vermont Historical Society’s website. He suggests the ensembles were once “training grounds” for rural musicians who went on to careers with traveling orchestras. The bands also rallied public support during wartime. “During the Civil War,” writes Sherman, “many town bands played at recruiting ceremonies, accompanied troops to the local train department and sometimes to the battlefield, and greeted returning veterans . . . During World War I the
Montpelier town band played at a gathering of citizens to promote the sale of war bonds. An Italian band in Barre helped send off the young men from that city who were going to war.” Times have changed, somewhat. For example, it’s difficult to imagine the cheerful musicians at a recent Burlington Concert Band practice accompanying a National Guard unit to Iraq. Though the band plays at Battery Park, it rehearses indoors, in the band room at Burlington High School. Their weekly Thursday practices, which started May 11, routinely draw anywhere from 20 to 40 participants of all ages, from ninth-graders to senior citizens. During their first practice in June, the 17 clarinetists, saxophonists, oboists, horn players and flutist are sitting on black vinyl chairs. The two female percussionists and the stand-up bass player stand in back. The floor is strewn with open instrument cases and small plastic bottles of valve oil. Inspirational portraits of jazz musicians line the walls, along with a poster behind conductor Steve Sawyer that reminds players, “LISTEN and SILENT are spelled with the same letters.” The band is reviewing some of its music for the first time, and most of the pieces sound pretty rough. Sawyer selects songs from the group’s library, and the players fish the sheet music from their identical black concert folders. At this rehearsal, they plod through some marches, a Cajun folksong, something called the “American Civil War Fantasy” and the theme from Mission: Impossible. Sawyer is in his fourth year as the band’s musical director. He lives in town and works as a music teacher for grades K-6 at Vergennes Elementary School. “I know ‘Lightly Row’ and ‘Hot Cross Buns’ pretty well now,” he quips after rehearsal. He says leading the BCB keeps him sharp professionally. During a run-through of “Dixieland Bash,” a ragtime tune, Sawyer stops keeping time with his wooden baton and calls the musicians to a halt. He instructs them to return to a dramatic passage and play it again. “OK, can we do more rollercoaster?” he asks. “Let’s make the audience dizzy right here.” Sawyer directs them to the measures in question, and urges them to “crescendo the quarter note on the way to the half note.” When the band responds with a hearty wah-wah sound, Sawyer interjects his approval. “Good!” he shouts over the music. Before they break, the band tries an upbeat classi-
GARY MARGOLIS, Burlington, UVM chief of police Margolis played in the orchestra in junior high and high school. He started playing violin when he was 6 or 7, then switched to clarinet as a teenager. In high school, he switched again: “They needed a bass clarinetist,” he says. “Bass clarinets are big instruments, and I’m a big guy.” Margolis remembers playing at pep rallies, sporting events and synagogue talent shows. He quit after high school. “I really miss music,” he says. “Someday I’ll play again. My fantasy someday is to conduct an orchestra.” MARY HOOPER, mayor of Montpelier “I was required to take piano lessons,” recalls Hooper. “I had a kind of typical response to that. It didn’t do much for me. Of course, now I wish I could play the piano.” As an adult, Hooper took up the recorder. She played in an ensemble until about a year into her tenure as mayor, when she got too busy. But she says she hasn’t given up music entirely. “The music stand’s still set up in the living room,” she reports. When talking about her new instrument choice, Hooper sounds a defensive note. “A lot of people think the recorder is a kid’s toy, but it’s a real instrument,” she says. “It really is.” PAMELA POLSTON, Winooski, co-publisher/editor of Seven Days At the beginning of seventh grade in Omaha, Polston chose to learn the trombone, but she soon grew discouraged by the excess of boy trombonists in the school band, which included grades 7 to 12. The director suggested she switch to tuba, since the sole player was about to graduate. For the next six years, she played a white fiberglass sousaphone that weighed 15 pounds. “I hated marching season,” she recalls. Polston, who years later in Burlington became the lead singer for The Decentz, says she enjoyed playing the oversized instrument and wishes she had kept it up after high school. But there was one good reason not to: She shares a memorable moment, when she blew a capped front tooth into her mouthpiece. Her band teacher flushed out the horn, but the tooth never emerged. She had to have it replaced. “It was very embarrassing,” she says. But not as embarrassing as the second time it happened. Observes Polston, “It’s probably still rattling around in there to this day.” KEN SQUIER, Stowe, owner of WDEV and co-owner of Thunder Road Speedbowl Squier played clarinet at Waterbury High School. “They had a guy come with instruments to the high school,” he remembers. “He played the clarinet in the low register, and I thought it was beautiful.” The stock-car announcer says he quit clarinet after graduation. Why? “Probably I went deaf racing.” Any funny band stories? “I was not good,” he admits. “I’m sure that anyone who listened to me play thought it was funny.”

Blauwiekel reports that the group uses most of the money to buy music and equipment, and to advertise its concerts. Sawyer and the officers also receive honoraria. Whatever is left at the end of the season is split among the band members, depending upon how many concerts and rehearsals they’ve attended. Blauwiekel says it’s a very small amount. But at least they get something. Most musicians in town bands are volunteers. That’s true in St. Johnsbury, where clarinetist Marie-Anne Hemond says concerts attract between 40 and 45 musicians “on a good day.” But Hemond notes that most of those players belong to other area bands in Newport, Barre, Danville or Morrisville. Hemond herself plays bass drum for the Lyndonville Military band. “You find a lot of people play more than one instrument,” she says. “You have to. That’s how those bands stay alive.” Burlington’s Blauwiekel admits she’s also thinking about her band’s survival. Their musicians are definitely aging; the sole tuba player is likely out for the season after suffering a stroke. She emphasizes that the BCB is eager to recruit. The band officially requires that members be able to read music, play scales and have at least three years of experience with their instrument, but Blauwiekel says the BCB is very willing to work with exmusicians who may be a little rusty. At this point it seems like they’re looking for warm, somewhat musically inclined bodies. But Blauwiekel and her fellow town band members are determined to keep the tradition alive. They argue that their music still plays a vital role in Vermont community life by providing accessible opportunities for people to listen to and play live music. “It’s nice when people make music,” says Blauwiekel, “even when they don’t sound as good as the iPod.”m

cal number, which opens with maracas. After just a few measures, Sawyer butts in. “Check your rhythm,” he stresses. “Dada-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-dada-da.” When the musicians take a breather, they talk about what motivated them to join the band. They all offer variations on the same answer: “It’s fun,” observes Mike Berglund, a bass trombone player and mail carrier who lives in Colchester. Berglund is also the band’s vice president; though Sawyer is the group’s musical director, the band is actually organized by a handful of elected officers. Norman Carpenter, 66, says the community aspect is what prompted him to pick up his clarinet again and join 10 years ago. “I played all the way through high school and college,” says the Burlington resident. “I’m not a very good clarinetist, but I enjoy playing together with other people.” Jean Osbourne, 27, says she’s motivated more by the music itself. The trombone player, who lives in Essex Junction, chose her instrument in the fourth grade. Now she teaches Spanish part-time and works at Gardener’s Supply Company. The Burlington Concert Band, which she joined in 1998, keeps her tooting her horn. “I grew up playing music,” Osbourne says, “and now music isn’t really a part of my life, except for this. It’s a way to keep it alive.” None of the band members mentions money as a motivator — not surprising, since they don’t make much. Most town bands receive some municipal funding, and Burlington is no exception. A city accountant confirms that the city has been supporting the band since 1987; this year it will receive $4000. BCB president Ruth Blauwiekel, who plays bass drum, says the city is the band’s main source of cash. The BCB also collects performance fees for a handful of concerts it gives in addition to its Battery Park gig.

hat auditory force could compel scores of volunteer musicians to turn out on a weeknight and tackle a challenging work by a notoriously picky composer, with no actual concert date in sight? On a chilly night this STORY spring dozens of performers, amateur and MEGHAN pro, gathered in the arch-roofed Elley-Long DEWALD Center to play through the second symphony of fin de siècle composer Gustav IMAGES COURTESY Mahler. I was one of them. Wanting to know what kind of music could inspire this OF GEORGE degree of dedication, I’d signed up for the flute section. TYLER Nicknamed “The Resurrection,â€? the piece started off with the funeral of the Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, character introduced in Mahler’s Open Reading, Symphony No. 1. Elley-Long “Right here, we’re imagining a happy Music Center, episode in the life of the hero we’ve just St. Michael’s College, buried,â€? quipped conductor Troy Peters Colchester, of the Vermont Youth Orchestra. True June 20, 7-10 p.m. Free. enough, the happy, wandering melody of the second movement evokes a walk amid To perform, contact Daniel Alpine wildflowers. Peters enlivened the Weiss at three-hour run-through with anecdotes daniel.weiss about Mahler and his discernable inten@uvm.edu. tions, and noteworthy performances of the music. After a particularly ominous and heavy passage that could stand to be played with a bit more gravitas, he paused. “Think Star Wars, people!â€? We ran through it again, this time giving the chords a weight worthy of Imperial Stormtroopers. Mahler’s’ music is heavy stuff, beautifully intense, and made more poignant by Peters’ narrative. The fifth and final movement details the end of the world, including an off-stage group of horns that simulate the last trumpet. A solo flute portrays the world’s last living thing, a lone songbird, which then falls silent. Into that break, a heavenly chorus begins singing, eventually rejoining the orchestra. Like me, many players had picked up the music for their part in advance. But as only a so-so flutist, I knew when not to play, and decided to join the 30-member chorus for the second half. After the final measure, everyone let
out a deep sigh of satisfaction, and then Peters said, “Let’s do that last part again — just because we can.� After the last note faded once again, orchestra members and choristers burst out clapping. The March 22 reading was part of a semi-annual series run by the Green Mountain Mahler Festival, an organization devoted to promoting the performance and enjoyment of works by the charismatic Bohemian-Austrian opera conductor and composer, who lived from 1860 to 1911. Mahler wrote several song cycles and nine complete symphonies, plus his unfinished 10th, before dying suddenly of a virus at age 51. He is credited as one of the first composers to blend chorus and symphony. More often, though, he’s associated with size — the bigger, the better. Mahler’s works are lavishly orchestrated for large numbers of performers, which can put them outside the reach of most community orchestras. Intricate pianissimo sections are interspersed with bombastic bits that require a solid wall of sound. As Peters noted during the reading, at the judgmentday trumpet section, “Mahler literally calls for ‘as many horns as possible.’� Most formal symphonies opt for scaled-back orchestrations — the Vermont Symphony Orchestra recently performed the second symphony in this way. “For example, do you really need eight basses when you can get by with four, or can you cut out the E-flat clarinet? � asks Green Mountain Mahler Festival organizer Dan Weiss. “Sure. But because we don’t have the same budgetary constraints, we don’t have to do that. We can have as big an orchestra as we can field, and as big a chorus . . . that’s one way of taking Mahler to the extreme.� Weiss acknowledges that the composer’s ostentatious scale isn’t for everyone, and that some find his style schmaltzy. “You either love Mahler or you just don’t care for him. There’s very little middle ground,� he says. “But most people I

plant allies
come in contact with through the festival tend to lean toward liking Mahler.� A University of Vermont research physician and proficient double-bassist, Weiss describes his first encounter with Mahler as a near-mystical experience: “Back in college, when I first heard a Mahler symphony, it blew me away. And after that, it was just trying to find out who was writing this incredible music and how I could play it.� That decades-long drive has taken concrete shape: Weiss lived in Seattle for 10 years and played in a number of community orchestras and musical groups there. “I wanted to do Mahler symphonies, but the individual community groups, by and large, didn’t have the
works that usually don’t get performed that often,� says Weiss. That’s often the Mahler symphonies, but NWMF readings and concerts have also included symphonies by Shostakovich and Bruckner, and Strauss tone poems. As the founder and president emeritus, Weiss still serves on the board of trustees and makes summer trips back to the West Coast to participate. When he moved to Vermont in 2001, he hoped to recreate the experience with a sister organization. But finding enough musicians in Vermont proved challenging. The greater Seattle area supports at least 30 community orchestras, plus a strong public school music program and large youth orchestra system. Given the difference in population density,
Farrell and Shyla Nelson are scheduled to sing as well. In these “readings,� everyone wins: Conductors get a chance to work with a massed orchestra on a piece they’re rarely able to perform, and participants Weiss calls “serious avocational musicians� get to exercise their classical chops. He doesn’t want to scare away potential performers, but stresses that musical competence is a must. “The best part is that this is all done for the love of music,� Weiss says. “No one gets paid, and we don’t charge a fee, either.� One current mission is to spread the word among area choristers, who seem a tad more skittish about sight-reading, or are perhaps wary of waiting through the orchestral sections. Eventually, Weiss would like

resources to pull together a hundred-plus musicians.� That’s the minimal number needed for most of the composer’s highwattage works, in the opinion of many Mahler fans. Weiss instituted a series of symphony open readings in 1995. The series was so successful that a formal concert was added to the roster the following year, and the group incorporated as the Northwest Mahler Festival. The nonprofit has been going strong for 10 years, and even releases a CD series of its seasonal offerings. The fest draws musicians from the Seattle Symphony and on down the scale to talented students, with a focus on “big, huge, romantic
says Weiss, “It’s tougher to pull together the numbers sometimes.� Despite this obstacle, the buzz is building. Over the past four years, the Green Mountain Mahler Festival has hosted readings for Mahler symphonies 1 through 7, each led by a different area conductor. The 100plus singers and instrumentalists who showed up for the March session ranged from teens in high school ensembles and the VYO to pro players from Vermont Symphony. At least that many are expected to turn out for a June 20 redux of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, again conducted by Troy Peters. Local sopranos Wendy Hoffman
to offer free public concerts as part of the GMFF, as the Seattle group does. His dream performance? “Mahler’s 8th — the Symphony of a Thousand.� The work requires a huge orchestra, with many extra players, eight vocal soloists, two large choruses and a children’s chorus. The symphony did, in fact, premiere with a thousand musicians, though the Northwest Mahler Festival managed to perform the piece in 2000 with a mere 350. Asked what venue he would hope to use, Weiss, like Mahler, thinks big. “Well, the acoustics are wrong, but maybe Gutterson Arena at UVM. Something on that scale.� A suitable spot, perhaps, for lofty goals. m

sound bites BLOCK ROCKIN’ If you hadn’t already noticed, Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival is well underway. But not all the sounds are swinging; this year’s Magic Hat Block Party, which takes place on various Church Street stages, features a handful of non-jazz acts. The free performances take place on Saturday, June 10. Vermont’s Afro-Brazilian beat slingers Sambatucada! kick things off at 8 p.m. Wear comfy clothes; you’ll likely end up shaking what you’ve got. B-town’s kings of sexy swamp rock, Monoprix, appear on the Ecco Stage at 9 p.m. No undergarment throwing, please. Things get funky at the Halvorson’s Stage around the same time, as the Boston Horns join forces with Peter Prince of Moon Boot Lover. If you’re looking for sweaty fun, head down to the Scribbles Stage at 9:30 to witness the Spandex-swathed Heloise & the Savoir Faire. The Big Apple-based band’s saucy electro-pop is the very definition of sassy. There’s nothing like a block party to get the blood pumping. Why can’t they do it every weekend?

CASUAL FIASCO
Now back to the jazz. Plenty of big-name acts are drawn to the Queen City for Jazz Fest. But there’s also a lot of homegrown talent performing at smaller venues around town. The following is just a small sample of the musical activity. Parima is no stranger to jazz, with local combos performing at the restaurant on a regular basis. But they’re kicking it up a notch this week, with acts booked back-toback. On Wednesday, June 7, bass phenom Rob Duguay and his quartet interpret the music of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane. The following evening, local faves Gua Gua take audiences on a “psychotropical jazz journey.” The Matt Wright Group, which includes some of the hottest players in town, serve up fresh “spazz jazz” on Friday. Saturday sees Joe Davidian reprising his successful Miles Davis tribute from a few months back. Guitar hero Nick Cassarino spins dizzying six-string webs on Sunday. Halvorson’s is also getting festive with a slew of enticing performances. Sultry vocalist Taryn Noelle swings by on Wednesday, June 7, and Friends of Joe gets “supersized” on Thursday. Joining the band for the night are Dave Grippo and Jen Hartswick. Talk about horn power. The densely populated Vermont Jazz Ensemble squeezes onto the stage on Friday, following a set from the Joe Davidian Trio. Bluesman Kip Meaker and jam-rockers Miracle Train share a bill on Sunday night. Keep in mind that most of the Halvorson’s gigs have a small cover charge. Jazz Fest is officially over by Monday, June 12, but the Vermont Jazz Ensemble kicks off their summer residency that evening.

It’s always nice when local musicians are recognized outside of the Green Mountains. When you labor at something you love, a little validation goes a long way. The following are two examples of Vermontborn achievements. Bakersfield-based mandolinist and composer Will Patton has landed on the cover of Mandolin Magazine, a national rag devoted to the instrument. The story focuses on Patton’s recent collaboration with renowned Gypsy guitarist Ninine Garcia, as well as his work with the Brazilian choro group Estrela do Norte. The issue — available at newsstands and http://www.MandolinCafe.com — drops in early July. Also celebrating are the Vermont Youth Orchestra, who snagged an ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming on June 2. The honor is bestowed annually to honor orchestras whose repertoire favors more progressive fare than “Peter and the Wolf.” Not that there’s anything
Blow your allowance already? Yeah, I know — Pixie Sticks and root beer really take a bite out of the ol’ budget. Well, if you can scrounge up four bucks, you can still catch an all-ages concert featuring upand-coming local and regional bands. Higher Ground kicks off its Fantastic $4 Band Night on Wednesday, June 7, with a performance from Burlington’s own Casual Fiasco. Also appearing on the Showcase Lounge stage are Theory of Revolution and The Mike Johnson Experience. “We decided to try developing a series . . . where the tickets are cheap and everybody gets a shot,” says HG talent buyer/co-owner Alex Crothers. “When we announced the series in April we had an overwhelming response. That was great, because we honestly had no idea if anyone would care.” Well, there are some strong incentives. The event will serve as a proving ground for local acts hungry to rock the bigger stages. “We

get to hear the bands play live and see who can rally the fans to come out and support them,” Crothers continues. “The bands who draw the biggest crowds will get preference for support slots on the main stage.” Next stop, Madison Square Garden. There’s already some serious buzz about the series’ maiden voyage. Advance ticket sales have been strong, which bodes well for future shows. Some of the excitement is no doubt due to the Casual Fiasco, who spent the last year building a fan base in Burlington and beyond. In fact, they recently returned from a successful, 60-gig tour. Wednesday’s concert will be their first time headlining at Higher Ground. Chances are it won’t be their last.

wrong with that piece. It’s just the “Stairway to Heaven” of classical music. Anyway, the ASCAP folks recognize groups who make a concerted effort to perform music by contemporary composers. And VYO director Troy Peters is all over that. Only 25 American orchestras received this year’s award. But it’s no sweat for the VYO; they’ve already won five of ’em.

10 THE HARDER THEY COME :: Migraine sufferers might want to skip “10 the Hard Way,” a heavy-music mini-fest taking place at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Saturday. Headlining the all-ages event are
Scissorfight, a New Hampshire-based band with a bone-crushing sound
and an unhinged front man. Also on the bill are local metalcore veterans 5 Seconds Expired, whose brainy riffs still pack a wallop. Appearances by Timeless, Ismada, Life Without and Rise to Fight guarantee an earful. Ibuprofen not included. 2x6-HG053106

reviewthis PULSE PROPHETS, MADHOUSE
THE BUDOS BAND, THE BUDOS BAND
(Self-released, CD)
(Daptone Records, CD) Staten Island, New York’s The Budos Band are an 11-piece Afro-soul act with a gloriously robust sound. Their self-titled debut features 11 instrumentals loaded with gooey grooves and penetrating melodies. The band got its start in an after-school jazz ensemble at a local community center. Enamored by such old-school soul and Afro-beat acts as Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings and Antibalas, the young musicians began exploring the roots of black music. When they outgrew the extramural program, they started rehearsing on their own. Not long after, they auditioned for a Daptone A&R rep, who signed them on the spot. Listening to this disc, it’s easy to see why. Budos Band are masters of hypno-soul, combining brass, congos, guitars and organ in a steamy musical stew. Each tune employs deceptively simple rhythmic figures, layered in interlocking patterns. “Up From the South” opens with naked bass guitar, which is soon augmented by reverb-drenched horns and grainy organ. The following cut, “T.I.B.W.F.” showcases a dub influence, with a monolithic bass riff and restless axe work. A dizzying trumpet solo appears before the tune fades away in a spare arrangement of baritone sax and hand percussion. Ever wonder what a ’70s cop show theme would sound like on Mars? “Sing a Simple Song” provides a clue, with its otherworldly, reverbed-conga rhythms and laser-sharp guitars. “Ghost Walk” boasts a hardboiled groove à la Louisiana legends The Meters. The tune’s chicken-scratch licks and ardent tambourine contribute to a truly sticky jam. Intended or not, it’s a fine ode to the progenitors of no-frills funk. “Aynotchesh Yererfu” features a menacing wall of brass supported by a liquid bass line and shimmering organ. Saucy horn blasts and Fela Kuti-inspired rhythms come together in a slice of deep, psychedelic soul. Echo-treated flute and trippy percussion make “King Charles” an exercise in funky flower power. The tune wouldn’t sound out of place blaring from a Haight-Ashbury crash pad. Emphatic horn shouts and a relentless pulse drive “The Volcano Song” to early eruption, while album closer “Across the Atlantic” marries dissonance to stuttering, James Brown-style funk. The Budos Band are sergeants-at-arms in the Afro-soul revolution. If you like your grooves served bloody raw, don’t miss their Discover Jazz Festival appearance with sax legend Maceo Parker at the Waterfront Blues Tent on Thursday, June 8.

90 Years of Combined Work Experience.
The cover art of Madhouse, by central Vermont’s Pulse Prophets, shows the Earth in a state of disarray, with missiles, fires, mushroom clouds and a giant Band-Aid holding the planet together. Its flipside depicts Saddam, Osama and Dubya as the speak-, hear- and see-no-evil monkeys. So what should we do when the inmates are running the asylum? Hit the dance floor, apparently. Madhouse opens with the bouncy “Midas Touch.” Bolstered by fantastic guitar from Rudy Dauth, the song has a clean, Steely Dan funkiness. “Everything I touch turns to music, everything I hold turns to gold from the soul,” sings vocalist-songwriter Elijah Krantz. Well, maybe not everything; Madhouse has a couple of clunkers. Still, most of it is pretty damn good. Krantz’s singing is earnest, if not exactly soulful. He employs different styles as the album progresses, complementing the music more often than not. “Funk Hop” serves up a rugged party groove, with vocals that call to mind the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis. “I don’t want to sound like I might be perverted, but you can come dressed like a Catholic school girl, mini-skirted,” Krantz sings in a line that would make the more famous front man proud. “Disco Party” is a piece of fluff, with almost throwaway lyrics. But it does feature a delicious keyboard solo that references the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever. This bit of musical mischief even makes Krantz crack up mid-tune. But not everything is a laughing matter. As evidenced by their choice in album art, Pulse Prophets have strong opinions about the world and are not too shy to voice ’em. Current U.S. military engagements provide plenty of lyrical fodder. According to “Tell the People,” war can only be understood by those directly involved. Krantz makes a persuasive argument, but unfortunately his message is stronger than the music. More successful are “What’s a Man?” and “Bless the World,” which contain strong melodies and powerful prose. Krantz channels hip-pop sensation Michael Franti on each, describing a world on the precipice of disaster. “Who would Jesus bomb, Bush or Saddam?” Krantz inquires on the album’s title track. “Bless the World” suggests the answer is neither. Here, the singer implores God to bestow grace upon friends and enemies alike. “People want to party, but we’ve got to heal,” states the electro-dub number “What’s a Man?” Madhouse does a fine job of exploring both options.

::
Known as the “Sweet Soul Queen of New Orleans,� vocalist
Irma Thomas rose from poverty to
become one of the most respected singers in r&b. The gospel tunes she belted out in her early years had a profound influence on her style, which combines bittersweet longing with spiritual exuberance. Thomas’ latest album, After the Rain, was recorded just months after Hurricane Katrina ravaged her hometown. An ode to Crescent City residents, the disc’s message of hope is nonetheless universal. Don’t miss her Discover Jazz Fest performance this Sunday. New Orleans piano master Henry Butler opens.

ARTWORK “NYC: From the Train II” by Judith Rey
PHOTO Marc Awodey
wenty years after its inception, the Burlington nonprofit Art’s Alive is still kicking, with its annual array of art exhibits in individual Church Street store windows and show of juried artists at Union Station. The festival’s ability to attract new participants is evidence of its continued popularity, and this year’s offerings are particularly strong. The first-place winner of the juried show is painter Phebe Mott of Hinesburg; second place went to Essex clay sculptor John Brickels, and third to painter Carol Boileau of Andover, Mass. One of the newcomers in the group show is Robert Hitzig. Coowner of the recently established Lazy Pear Gallery in Montpelier, he is also an exceptional sculptor of wood. His wall sculpture titled “Montpelierus Acer” seems equally influenced by Polynesian masks and American pop culture. The 4-foot-high, thinly vertical abstract figure has beady eyes and is topped with a jagged butch haircut. Hitzig employed a slice of blonde, curly maple for his whimsical image, then carved and finished it with exceptional craftsmanship. Verticality seems a popular orientation this year. At roughly 6 feet tall and 40 inches wide, Graham Keegen’s oil-on-paper abstraction “Your Ascent” is one of the largest works at Union Station. Keegen’s phantasmagorical aggregation of bubbly, lime-
green circles, surreal white stairs and smooth loops unfolds over a rich redorange background. The theme of ascension is conveyed by a subtle, vermicular mass of abstract shapes rising and diminishing in space, like a winding trail climbing a hillside. The oil pastel “Two Views” by Helene Amses is a vertical diptych presenting two views of a placid river. Amses matted and framed together a duet of long horizontal compositions — one atop the other. The upper composition portrays a wooded riverbank, while the lower looks downstream, the riverbanks receding to a vanishing point. Amses activates her muted hues of pale blue, yellow and gray with rhythmic, staccato scratches across her oil-pastel surfaces. She also skillfully modulates values, beckoning the eye with white along the horizon lines of both landscapes. “NYC: From the Train II” by Judith Rey is a Hopperesque cityscape, defined by a solid composition of angles and rectangles. In fact, the roughly 30-by-40-inch oil on canvas contains no curves at all. Rey portrays a tilted, red brick wall, as if from a snapshot taken out of a passing train. A geometric matrix of warm and cool grays surrounds the building’s façade. The sky is steely gray, and the building’s shadows are closely keyed deep blues, browns and black. The
upper quarter of Rey’s canvas is horizontally bisected by a wide, black power line in the extreme foreground. It’s the only line that isn’t gently angled vis-à-vis the edges of the picture plane. By virtue of Rey’s spatial organization, “NYC: From the Train II” is a very sophisticated painting. Photography has always been included in the Art’s Alive show at Union Station, and two of the strongest photographic works this year are Eugene Garron’s hand-tinted “This Old Farm” and Bruce Pendelton’s stop-action shot, “The Golf Ball.” Garron captured a ramshackle homestead with five planters full of flowers in the middle of its yard. The planters are made of cast-off metal cans and other detritus. Three bunches of flowers are fiery crimson; two are bright yellow. Garron also tinted trees and clumps of grass green, and the rest of the scene was imparted with warm sepia tones. Pendelton’s “The Golf Ball” is a monochromatic, close-up digital photo of icy blue that captures the precise instant when a golf ball splashes into water. About 40 artists are featured in the 2006 edition of Art’s Alive. Participation has fluctuated over the years, as has the organization’s leadership, but here’s hoping it will continue to grow and thrive in its third decade. m

O
ne day after hotel heiress Paris Hilton announced that she is recording her debut album as a singer, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that his country was attempting to obtain an early copy of the record but claimed Iran would use it only for “peaceful purposes.” For Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who this week has been attempting to engage Iran in a conversation about its nuclear program, the news that the Iranians were trying to obtain Ms. Hilton’s debut album was a serious foreign policy setback. “We regard any attempt by Iran to obtain Paris Hilton’s album as a threat to the region, and we will not sit idly by while that happens,” Secretary Rice said at a press conference in Washington today.
But in an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, the ambassador from Great Britain warned that aerial photos taken by a spy satellite indicated that bootlegged copies of Paris Hilton’s album
Paris Hilton’s new album could threaten not just the Middle East but parts of Europe as well. “This is the most serious threat to world peace since North Korea obtained an early DVD of ‘Gigli,’” Mr. Annan said.

The Break-Up HH
I RECIPE FOR DISASTER Breaking up is hard to do, but even harder to watch in this stale, unappetizing comedy.
suppose it adds something to the experience of watching The Break-Up to know that its stars, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, are serious off the screen. It would have added infinitely more, on the other hand, had they somehow managed to be funny on it. Unfortunately, laughs are few and stunningly far between in this comedy, which Vaughn played a major role in conceiving and bringing to the cineplex. Following the phenomenal success of Wedding Crashers, the actor suddenly found himself in the position of Hollywood player. Too suddenly, perhaps. Just when he appeared poised to assume the title of Funniest Guy in the Movies, he’s given us what may prove to be the Summer’s Biggest Disappointment. As the film opens, Vaughn’s character meets Aniston’s at a Cubs game and wins her over by insulting her date. Cut to the opening credits, a montage of photographs designed to inform us that Gary and Brooke have become a couple. They hug. They make goofy faces for the camera. They frolic. By the time the story gets rolling in earnest, the two have purchased a condo together and fallen into a comfortable routine that teeters on the brink of becoming a rut. She works at an upscale art gallery. He runs a Chicago tour-bus company with his two brothers. It’s unclear what exactly made these two think they were compatible in the first place; by the time we get to know them, the relationship is already unraveling. Gary comes home after a hard day’s work and just wants to collapse on the couch and watch the game for a while. Brooke points out that their families will arrive for dinner momentarily, and that she too had a busy day at work and has slaved over a hot stove since she got home. Their bickering is numbingly banal. When their guests arrive, the viewer is likely to assume the actual comic portion of the comedy is about to kick in. The viewer must learn to live with disappointment. What ensues instead is a mishmash of semi-gags and halfformed ideas, which never coalesces into organized amusement. Ann-Margret appears in this scene as Aniston’s mother, only to vanish forever as inexplicably as she arrived. Vaughn’s real-life buddy Jon Favreau turns up as Gary’s buddy John. Though the room is filled with stars, the scene is turned over to an actor by the name of John Michael Higgins, who plays Aniston’s brother, a peppy chap who leads a men’s chorus. He decides to lead the dinner guests in a sing-along. Typical of the picture’s lazy, haphazard stabs at entertainment, the
SHORTS gimmick has neither a punch line nor a point. It would have been more fun just to watch them finish their starch course. After dinner, the couple’s frustrations come to a boil, they itemize one another’s shortcomings, and Aniston announces she’s leaving Vaughn. The problem: She’s not quite as crazy about leaving the condo, and he’s not about to budge, either. So, faster than you can say The War of the Roses, each has staked out territory within the place, and the psychological games have begun. Sadly, these are as derivative and uninspired as the premise itself. I’m certain there are failed sitcom pilots out there with more visionary brilliance. You see, Brooke changes her mind once she calms down. She really doesn’t want to split up after all. But for some reason that is never explained, she feels it inappropriate to divulge this key bit of information to Gary. Instead, she consults her best friend (Joey Lauren Adams) and her boss (Judy Davis). They advise her, respectively, to make him jealous and to undergo a complete bikini wax — a Telly Savalas. Not surprisingly, these strategies fail to produce the desired result — a repentant, drooling Gary. On the contrary, Gary demonstrates his indifference by upping the ante at every turn. He informs one of Brooke’s suitors that her weak spot is apple martinis. He invites another to join him in an extended game of video football. When Brooke returns late one night from one of her pretend dates, she finds Gary and his pals playing strip poker with hookers. By the time she breaks down and surrenders the tearful truth, it’s too late. Each has inflicted too much injury on the other. Their love is a casualty of escalated foolishness, and the viewer’s interest in both characters has long since gone missing in action. Virtually everything The Break-Up attempts to do was done better, and with far more style and freshness, in the least memorable episode of “Friends.” Vaughn is squandered as an oversized-man-child Ross, while Aniston does a Rachel for whom no one remembered to write comic dialogue. The biggest difference is, we stop caring whether the two will work things out about half an hour in. Plus, “Friends” was amusing rather than mean-spirited. This is a romantic comedy with zero romance and almost as little comedy. Other than a handful of Vaughn’s trademark verbal flourishes and a scene or two he shares with Favreau, nothing here will come close to breaking you up. After all, what’s so funny about a complete lack of peace, love and understanding? m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Heist Zeitgeist Vermeer that has now vanished. The painting — analyzed at length by experts, including Girl with a Pearl Earring author Tracy Chevalier — is one of only 35 the Dutchman created. Its disappearance leaves the biggest hole of all in the art world. The most riveting person on camera is Harold Smith, a preeminent fine-art detective in a homburg, eye patch and plastic prosthesis covering a nose decimated by his five-decade battle with skin cancer. Dreyfus only has time for a quick profile of this fascinating figure before returning to the burglary’s murky aftermath, which includes a $5 million reward for information that leads to the lost loot. While a telephone tip-line records numerous conspiracy theories proffered by the public, Smith meets with a hyperactive British informer who points to the Irish underworld and a Massachusetts mob kingpin. No idea is too unfathomable in Stolen, a suspenseful yarn about a crime that’s still unfolding. Representatives from several peace and veterans groups will speak at the Roxy during this weekend’s opening of Sir! No Sir!. David Zeiger’s remarkable documentary remembers the antiwar sentiment that rippled through stateside military bases and Vietnam battlefields during the 1960s. It’s a must-see movie as the My Lai era resonates ever more vividly in these post-Haditha times. Local
link alert: Early scenes incorporate footage shot by Charlotte resident John Douglas at a Texas coffeehouse patronized by dissident GIs. Hoo-ra. Activists concerned about Iraq will cross paths with environmentalists setting up tables in the lobby for the concurrent Vermont premiere of An Inconvenient Truth, a treatise on global warming that stars the Earth in the Balance author and almost-president Al Gore. Jon Kilik is back home in New York City after a May visit to the Cannes Film Festival. The 1978 University of Vermont grad produced Babel, a feature that earned Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu the much-coveted prize for best director. “We had not screened it anywhere before,” Kilik points out, adding that the audience “seemed extremely enthusiastic.” The press has been positive, as well. Variety describes Babel as “gripping,” with “unshowy, naturalistic performances” by Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal and other actors — many of them nonprofessionals.
Writer Guillermo Arriaga, who collaborated with Inarritu on 21 Grams, was inspired by the Genesis tale of a tower Babylonians began building as a proverbial stairway to heaven. God uttered the biblical equivalent of “No way, dudes!” and zapped their ability to understand each other. They scattered all over the planet, which theoretically resulted in different races and languages. Set in Morocco, Japan, Mexico and the U.S., Babel imagines how this ancient human disconnect might play out in today’s world. “It’s original, unusual art-house storytelling that we hope will also appeal to the mainstream,” notes Kilik, who has worked with such illustrious filmmakers as Spike Lee (Inside Man), Julian Schnabel (When Night Falls) and Oliver Stone (Alexander). Scheduled for an October release by Paramount, the Inarritu picture benefited from the use of “real locations and real people,” Kilik says. “A lot of things evolved in the process of going from the page to the screen.” Speaking of evolution, this was the UVM alum’s seventh trek to the glitzy French Riviera event. C’est si bon. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
NO is Word Number One during the Terrible Twos. If the men’s room is a JOHN, the women’s should be a Jane. The song goes something like, “I wonder who’s KISSINGER now.” Who is on first, and WHO also wrote the Book of Love. Devil and EVIL have different roots, but one’s inside the other. Olga said “Kitchen KOOP” when she meant chicken coop. Knock, knock. Who’s there? PHIL. Phil who? Phil up my glass. Like James WATSON, you need good DNA to figure out DNA. Hard to believe Jonathan LIVINGSTON Seagull was a bestseller. As a World War II flying ace, Jimmy DOOLITTLE did a lot. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS AN HONORIFIC. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: To a certain degree, they all have something in common.
T
he Da Vinci Code has been lambasted for obscuring known fact with outlandish fiction. Another art thriller, Stolen, offers the real McCoy. This 84-minute documentary, arriving Friday at the Roxy in Burlington, traces a 1990 heist of priceless paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The 103-year-old Boston cultural landmark looks no less sinister than the Louvre, as it’s depicted in the blockbuster Hollywood film. Stolen’s ominous mise-en-scène owes much to the cinematography skills of both director Rebecca Dreyfus and the legendary Albert Maysles (Gimme Shelter). They certainly know how to capture the Victorian penchant for gloomy ambiance. Dreyfus has turned a potentially dry educational film into a robbery investigation peppered with international intrigue. Her focus is the unsolved theft of 13 canvases worth $500 million. Works by Rembrandt, Degas, Manet and Vermeer went out the door with culprits wearing police uniforms. While examining a modern-day puzzle, Dreyfus also dramatizes Gardner’s correspondence with Bernard Berenson, who scouted Europe for masterpieces to hang in her elegant Beantown showcase. These long-dead letter writers come alive in the narration provided by Blythe Danner and Campbell Scott. A contemporary archivist discusses the 1892 auction at which Berenson successfully bid on “The Concert,” a

MUTE POINT More than 2 million people have been displaced by government-backed ethnic cleansing in the Darfur region of Sudan since 2003, and hundreds die daily. Having heard about the genocide — and the world’s silence — for years, two local high school students are doing something. Ben Rome and Brian Banks of Essex High have organized a rally keynoted by Suliman Giddo, the co-founder and president of Darfur Peace and Development. He grew up in the area now under attack. Bernie Sanders and Rich Tarrant will also attend, along with Senator Patrick Leahy, Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen, members of the local refugee community and Vermont physician Kevin Rogers, who recently returned from a stint with Doctors Without Borders. Live music follows.

scene@DOG/DAD LOOK-ALIKE CONTEST THE BOOK RACK, ESSEX JUNCTION, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 2 P.M. I was slow to rouse on Saturday morning, and so was my pup. Nicky was still happily sprawled on the bedroom carpet an hour before the start of the DogDad Look-Alike Contest — an event based on a book, My Father the Dog, by local author Elizabeth Bluemle. But from the look of my own animal, I suspected few canine contestants would show. “C’mon Nicky, time to get up,� I urged. “Let’s go!� He stared at me silently but didn’t budge. He seemed to be saying, “You go outside and take a leak in the rain; I’m staying put for another few hours.� I went solo to the Book Rack and Children’s Pages in Essex Junction. The Book Rack is a great bookstore for poking around, even if you don’t have a kid to shop for. Big plastic trees in one corner, plenty of games and puzzles, and a display of books based on the Chinese Year of the Dog: The Poky Little Puppy, Dogzilla, Bow-Wow Yoga: 1000 Years of Posturing, Walter the Farting Dog and, of course, the featured book by Bluemle, co-owner of The Flying Pig Book Store in Charlotte. Alas, by 2:30 I’d seen neither hide nor hair of a dad or a dog. But Bluemle was unfazed. With an audience of one child, 9-year-old Lucy — minus her golden retriever “Friday� — Bluemle enthusiastically read her story of a dad who pretends to be human although his kids know otherwise, based on his scratching, growling, fetching the newspaper, and occasional pit stops behind a tree. Lucy seemed to enjoy the read, especially the page that says, “When he toots, he looks around the room like someone else did it.� According to Bluemle, that’s a favorite line among kids — but not her dad. He sent a letter to all his friends, disavowing any similarities to the main character. KEN PICARD

SATURDAY 10
WINNING STREAK Burlington’s downtown denizens may get an inadvertent eyeful this weekend, but it’s for a good cause, celebrated simultaneously in cities worldwide. Participants in the World Naked Bike Ride advertise the unadorned truth of humanity’s dependence on fossil fuels and car culture by casting clothes, and caution, to the wind. Bicyclists, bladers and skaters either go in the buff, or bare as they dare; since inclusiveness is one of the protest’s key points, riders of creatively decorated vehicles can wear anything from body paint to clothes or partial costumes, depending on comfort levels. A key fact: it’s illegal to disrobe in public in Vermont, but not to, well, be naked, so skinning down behind closed doors is a must. Global warming, anyone?

POLLEN NATION If you’ve ever appreciated an apple or savored a peach, you owe some thanks to the humble honeybee. Bees buzz between orchards in bloom time, pollinating pistils to form future fruit. Paid with nectar for playing clear-winged Cupids to the plant world, they also produce honey. While beekeeping certainly poses challenges, its rewards are sweet. A workshop for beginning apiarists offers pointers on bee behavior and maintenance. Topics include how to set up frames, inspect for pests and diseases, and manage hive and honeycomb through the spring and summer. The big sting? Beekeeping veils are a good idea, if you’ve got ’em.
BEEKEEPING WORKSHOP Saturday, June 10, Honey Gardens Apiaries, Ferrisburgh, 10 a.m. - noon. Free. Info, 877-6766. http://www.honeygardens.com

free will astrology
L RE A
JUNE 08-14
ARIES
(March 21-April 19): Is the planet running out of oil? Some experts say yes, others say no. Secretly, part of me hopes we are. If forced to use less of the tragically magic fuel, we’d get at least some relief from the ongoing catastrophe of global warming. But the whole discussion may become irrelevant in light of the existence of oil shale. It’s a rock that when heated releases the abundant oil hidden within it. Though expensive to access, two trillion barrels of the stuff lie untapped beneath the surface of America’s Rocky Mountains. “That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world,” reports The Denver Post. This is an apt metaphor for your life, Aries. You may seem to be running out of a resource that has energized you for a long time. The truth is, there’s more to be had, but you’ll have to work harder to get it.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): A few people look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Many, on the other hand, peer out through crap-colored glasses. Both are unable to see the world as it really is, but instead allow their perceptions to be filtered through a distorted lens. Your assignment, Taurus, is to take off the colored glasses — whatever hue they may be — so that you can gaze at your surroundings with fresh, lucid, fixation-free eyes.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): It’s Make-over Season, Gemini. This would be a perfect astrological moment to get your whole body tattooed, start wearing wigs of varying color and length, and have a cosmetic surgeon reshape your face to resemble that of your favorite celebrity. JUST KIDDING! I was exaggerating. The omens do suggest it’s a good time to experiment with your physical appearance and make adjustments in your persona, but not as drastically as I first suggested.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): Listen to poet Robert Bly’s description of you: You came into this world as a radiant package of cosmic wonders, as an unspeakably sublime bolt of primordial resonance, as a barely coalesced jumble
of blinding beauty — and yet all your parents wanted was a good little girl or a good little boy. You should mourn for that discrepancy, advises Bly. He encourages you also to mourn for the fact that you then constructed a false personality in order to please your parents and thus be able to survive emotionally. Now here’s what I have to say about all that: It’s a perfect astrological time to express your grief for these calamities, then heal yourself from their damage and start becoming the marvel you were born to be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Some psychologists believe it’s pretty easy to get people to think they remember specific events that didn’t actually occur. I don’t have the expertise to determine whether or not that’s true. But just in case it is, let’s see if we can take advantage of it. The astrological omens are in our favor: They suggest that your memories are especially malleable right now, and that your imagination is so robust that it could overwhelm so-called objective reality with its inventions. Here’s what I propose: Visualize in detail, complete with a sensation of effusive emotions, the fabricated memory of some unbelievably happy experience that happened to you when you were 4 years old.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): New Scientist magazine reports that athletes who suit up in red uniforms seem to be more successful than those who don’t. In the 2004 European soccer tournament, for instance, red-garbed teams scored an average of one more goal per game than the others. Since you’re now in a phase when winning is even more important than usual, why not try every little thing that might give you an edge, including the wearing of red clothes or accessories? As long as your motives are benevolent and your compassion is as strong as your will to power, I have no problem encouraging you to lust for victory. What else might get your competitive juices flowing and evoke passivity in your opponents?

LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Thinking outside of the box to find creative solutions to obstinate problems sometimes leads to brilliant breakthroughs. Other times it results in laughable breakdowns. And in some cases, it generates changes that are a blend of brilliant breakthrough and laughable breakdown. You’re now flirting with this third variety. So is there anything you can do to nudge your innovations more in the direction of breakthrough and away from breakdown? Yes. First, make sure your experimental urges are driven by expansiveness and generosity, not revenge, envy, or fear. Second, trust the feelings in your body to give you important clues. Third, get your ego out of the way as much as is humanly possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): After playing in bands for years, I ripened into a halfdecent songwriter and singer. My last project World Entertainment War was signed to a contract with MCA Records and released a CD, but meager sales precipitated my exit from the music business in 1995. Fast forward to this week. While scavenging around the Web via Google, I made an unexpected discovery: On many music lyric sites, one of the songs I wrote, “Marlboro Man Jr.,” has for years been mistakenly credited to Blink-182, a band that has sold over 10 million records. I was shocked. How could it have taken me so long to find out? This incident should serve as a metaphor for you, Scorpio. Find out whether your work, ideas or energy have been used by or attributed to other people without your knowledge.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To boost your romantic fortunes, it’s sometimes helpful to take an inventory of what has worked and not worked for you in the past. Now is a good time to do that. I suggest you survey memories of your old successes and failures, and extract some fresh insights that you can apply to the conundrums that love is currently asking you to solve. Another strategy you might try is to take yourself about ten times less seriously. Even intimacy’s most demanding tests will be far easier if
you can laugh about them. To aid in this quest, try the Dead Celebrity Soulmate Search at http://snipurl.com/nghr. (It told me my best romantic matches would have been Lucrezia Borgia, Mata Hari and Agatha Christie.)
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This would not be a good week to cast a curse on God in revenge for what you think are his mistakes. Nor would it be a favorable time to draw blasphemous cartoons of saints, or pretend that atheism is any less of a faith-based belief system than religion. In fact, if I were you, Capricorn, I would utter a few prayers, purify your motives, and do some really good deeds — just in case there’s even a slim possibility that divine help is abundantly available to you right now. (P.S. From what I can tell, there’s more than a slim possibility.)
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As far as the astrological powers-that-be are concerned, you have permission to play hooky. Whether their authorization will carry any weight with your boss and the people who depend on you, I can’t say. But the pure cosmic fact of the matter is that you should devote as much time as possible in the coming days to avoiding responsibility, following your whims, and indulging in sweet pleasures that in no way serve the values of the cold, cruel workaday world. It’s time to wander out into a field of wildflowers and chase butterflies. Or something similar.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): I dare you to call everyone “mom” or “mommy” this week. I’m serious. Pretend as if every single person you meet has the potential to give you some mothering. Expect the entire universe and everything in it to treat you with nurturing attention and thoughtful care. You may experience some disappointments along the way, of course. There’ll be some people who don’t quite understand the game or want to play it. But I bet you’ll be surprised by how many lively folks do respond to your invitation to treat you as their lovable child, their winsome little babycakes.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, My boyfriend and I ended our 3-year relationship earlier this spring, after I discovered that he had been having regular phone conversations with his former girlfriend. It’s hard to adjust to the break-up, but I finally started dating again and had been working hard on moving on with my life. The problem? A few weeks ago he sent me an email saying he’d cut off contact with his previous ex, and begging me to give him another chance. I didn’t think it was a good idea and told him so, but the next day he called up and started arguing his case. Now he calls every couple of days, and I find myself looking forward to hearing from him. Is my subconscious telling me that we belong together? Confused in Cornwall Dear Confused, Your boyfriend has trouble letting go. He proved that in his behavior with his previous ex, and he’s repeating the pattern with you. Tell him he needs to stop calling. If he persists, hang up. You made the right decision when you chose to move ahead. Don’t let him undermine your resolve. Love, Lola

Rose: Did you know that June is Adopt-a-Shelter Cat Month? That’s why I’m here today to tell you about myself. A rose is a rose by any other name. But, in this case, I’m a cat! Hello. I am Rose, a beautiful, 7-year old black-and-white short haired, spayed female. I would love to bring some summertime bloom into your home. I am a confident and sweet older woman who is looking for a loving home. I am a little set in my ways. Can you blame me? A woman does have a right to her own opinion don’t you think? Although I love to be petted, I prefer it in small doses because I can get a little annoyed with too much fussing over me and have been known to scratch if I’ve had enough. Besides, by loving me in small doses, you’ll keep me coming back for more. I am a very loving lady - on my own terms. I have the greatest meow and I love to curl up next to my human friends for company. My new family should have adults only or kids 15 and up. I have lived with other cats and would be fine with them as long as they were around my age and not too rambunctious. Give me your heart, and I’ll give you a rose every day! Although I really hope that you choose to adopt me, if I’m not the right gal for you, there are a lot of great cats of all shapes, ages, sizes, and personalities waiting like me at HSCC for you to welcome them into your home. Please come on down and visit me and all of my feline friends! Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
