Water on Enceladus That is the headline all over the news; they should be saying “Water on Enceladus?” The press release starts out by saying “NASA’s Cassini spacecraft may have found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers on Saturn’s moon Enceladus.” The key word here is “may;” they don’t know for sure yet. The images above are a couple from Cassini of Enceladus. The plumes are visible in the lower left. The false color view on the right shows a more extended plume component. It IS a pretty exciting find, if true. Think of the possibilities, life could very well be possible. Seems like it would be more probable than finding life on Mars. I’m not saying life is or isn’t in either place, finding life is the hard part. Seems like it would be easier in the presence of water. NASA also has a podcast about the possible discovery. Personally I hope whatever is comprising the plumes is water, but it needs to be proven first. A new mission beckons! Image Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute Posted March 10 by Tom Dumont

PRODUCTIONS

an election were rigged, it would be detected by a test conducted by local elections officials. However a recent Berkeley University report commissioned by the California secretary of state reads: “We determined that anyone who has access to a memory card . . . can indeed modify the election results, and change vote totals . . . There would be no way to know that any of these attacks occurred.” I wondered who is right — the computer experts in Berkeley or our Director of Elections? So I spoke (through an associate) to Harri Hursti, the person who performed the infamous “Hursti Hack” test. Sadly, he assured me that Kathy DeWolfe is incorrect — her test would definitely not detect his hack. As a result of the Hursti Hack, several states and municipalities have taken action . . . But our director of elections, whose job it is to ensure the security and integrity of our elections, has done absolutely nothing. In fact, when people have contacted her office for an explanation, she inexplicably defends Diebold and supplies inaccurate information in her reply, assuring that anything like the Hursti Hack would be detected. That is not true. It is imperative that Ms. DeWolfe (and the secretary of state) respond to the fact that significant vulnerabilities have been found in our election system, which does not comply with federal standards. If she continues to ignore this problem, the people of Vermont should take her to task for not performing her responsibilities. We should also work to reform our laws to require open software code and random auditing of the system — two

essential steps that would help ensure the integrity of our elections. Gary Beckwith RICHMOND

BEGGING TO DIFFER Ruth Horowitz’s stories usually draw me into a paper-y circle of kinship with her. I love hearing about her home, her holidays, her children, her wedding. Unfortunately, her “State of the Arts” column of February 22 brought a different reaction. She stated: “In the past, Bread and Puppet has been spared the embarrassment of begging.” Fundraising is not begging. As a

board member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals-Northern New England Chapter, I take offense at the attitude regarding nonprofits, fundraising and my selected career. In defense of all nonprofits that choose to fundraise, it is a legitimate means of raising revenue for a multitude of worthy causes, from the arts to youth to education to health care. Professional fundraisers adhere to a code of ethics, have available accreditations, educational conferences, and are recognized nationally on National Philanthropy Day. Fundraising is the means that

our society uses to support the causes not funded through tax dollars. Think of where our society would be without the people supporting the causes most near and dear to them! To her credit, Ruth did speak with Andrea Rogers of the Flynn to show another arts organization that actively fundraises. It is likely that Ruth also willingly donates to many Vermont nonprofit organizations. I hope that her generous actions bring joy to her, knowing that she’s aiding our world in becoming a better place. Dannah Lapin Beauregard FLETCHER

DEAD SORRY My name is Donald Fell. Some of you may be familiar with my deathpenalty trial in Burlington in summer 2005. I am writing this to express my sorrow to the world. Not sorrow for myself, but sorrow for the victims of my horrible, senseless crimes. And sorrow for the pain and suffering I have caused to their good families and everyone else in the community. For many, my crimes will be imprinted into their memories for some time to come. For others, namely the King family, the Conway family and my own family, the scars will never heal. For these good people, I have taken away one that they loved and cherished. I have robbed them of many years of happiness and companionship, and I have shattered their world forever. For my victims, those innocent people whose lives were worth so much more than mine, for them I have taken away a sacred gift from God, which I had no right to. I live every day in abject sorrow. Not for myself, but for these righteous people, these innocents whose lives I have destroyed. I am not sure what I want to do with my case. I am sure that I wish to take whatever time I have left on

this earth to help others in any way I can. I wish to help people avoid the decisions and choices that I have made in life, so that hopefully no more innocent people are slain. And so that no more families have to suffer through such pain and heartache, as only the loss of a loved one by senseless violence causes. My heart goes out to my victims and their families and any other such people throughout the world. While it doesn’t mean much, I am sorry to the King family, the Conway family and my family for all the pain and sorrow I have caused them. Anyone who wishes to contact me with questions or concerns can reach me at: Donald Fell #05306010, FCI Ray Brook, P.O. Box 900, Ray Brook, N.Y. 12977. I will answer any and all questions as best as I can. Donald Fell RAY BROOK, N.Y.

Fell was sentenced to death after being convicted of capital crimes in the abduction and killing of Tressa King in November 2000. His letter was forwarded to Seven Days by Kathy Farrow of Shelburne, on behalf of The Campaign to End the Death Penalty.

CORRECTIONS Last week’s profile of Burlington playwright Josh Bridgman misstated the name of Keith Spiegel’s movie. The film is entitled Junior Defenders. And in our piece about a planned halfway home for nonviolent female offenders, we stated that 90 to 100 female offenders are in prison beyond their eligible release date due to lack of appropriate housing. In fact, only nine of the 96 offenders currently held past their minimum release date for this reason are females. We apologize for both errors.

BURLINGTON — A proposal to create transitional housing for nonviolent women offenders who are returning to Chittenden County has sparked a new flurry of criticism. This time, it’s coming from local housing and homelessness advocates, who say the project would divert already scarce resources from a far more urgent need: emergency and transitional housing for homeless families and those at risk of homelessness. The “Northern Lights House,” which would be located at 76-78 Cherry Street, would accommodate as many as 10 newly released female offenders from the state’s correctional system. The project is being spearheaded by a coalition of eight Chittenden County nonprofit groups that would provide the women with a web of support services to help them return to society, including drug and alcohol treatment, mental-health counseling and employment training. The project already faces opposition from members of the Burlington Business Association, who question whether it’s appropriate to house newly released inmates in the heart of the downtown business district. Among the latest critics of Northern Lights is Rita Markley, executive director of the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS). “I support there being some special program for female offenders,” Markley says. “But it never dawned on me that it would take precedence over what’s been in line as the most urgent need. There’s just no comparison of the magnitude of one versus the other.” As Markley points out, numerous reports over the last four years, including the Statewide Housing Needs Assessment and the 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan, have singled out transitional housing for homeless families as the state’s greatest unmet housing need. In contrast, Markley says, the demand for transitional housing for newly released inmates, though not inconsequential, is “fairly low on the ranking.” In October 2005, for example, 33 new families came into COTS needing emergency shelter who couldn’t be accommodated in traditional shelters, according to Markley. Each month since then, the nonprofit has seen as many as 18 new families arrive who couldn’t be housed in existing shelter beds. Most don’t qualify for other types of pubic housing assistance due to bad credit or other circumstances, and have to be put up in emergency overflow motels, which are paid for using state welfare funds. Markley isn’t the only housing advocate irked by the earmarking of limited housing dollars for former inmates. Tim Searles, executive director of the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, says that as the Department of Corrections budget keeps rising, so has concern among housing and homelessness experts that Montpelier is focusing too much on people coming out of prison. “It’s all about Corrections right now,” Searles asserts. “All the meetings that I attend at [the Agency of Human Services] seem to be focused on the whole women-in-custody issue, which is a very important issue, but it’s not the one we would put at the top of our list of priorities.” Searles points out that projects for offenders tend to be very costly — the capital cost alone for the Northern Lights House will run about $670,000, with an additional operating expense of at least $300,000, according to Burlington Housing Authority figures. But once Northern Lights is up and running, Searles says, it will do little to address the demand for street-level housing services throughout Chittenden County. “I’m sure the project is a worthy project,” Searles adds, echoing Markley’s sentiment. “What I’m worried about is the unmet needs of existing populations who are struggling to make ends meet and retain their housing or find housing. These are people who have no connection to the Department of Corrections.” But those who deal with women offenders say the growing emphasis is understandable. In the last decade, the number of women under DOC supervision in Vermont has grown by 500 percent, and that figure is expected to double in the next five years. And, because women offenders are more expensive to incarcerate than men, the state has made it a priority to try to keep them out of custody. As supporters of the Northern Lights project explain, the women it would serve are returning to

Burlington anyway and will require a spectrum of social services, regardless of where they’re housed. Each year, about 335 offenders are released back to Chittenden County; 12 percent of them are women, and most were imprisoned on drug-related offenses. About two-thirds were unemployed at the time of their arrest. Eight in 10 are mothers; fewer than half are married. Many have limited schooling, job training or parenting skills. Some come back to the community with untreated mental-health issues, alcohol- or drug-abuse problems, or learning disabilities. Not surprisingly, their inability to find or maintain employment and affordable housing often results in their return to prison. Barbara Rachelson is executive director of the Lund Center, one of the eight agencies in the

She says that although her organization wasn’t involved in the site-selection process, it offered its services because of the Lund Center’s long history of working with pregnant and parenting women who have substanceabuse problems. She says she had no idea Northern Lights would draw such criticism from others in the nonprofit community. “We need to make sure that we’re not cannibalizing each other,” Rachelson says. “It’s that horrible spot we’re all in, that social problems are getting worse, and state and federal dollars are scarcer than ever. That’s when we have to all band together and not have it be us being pitted against each other.” The Northern Lights House is a collaborative effort of the Howard Center, Mercy Connections, Northern New England Tradeswomen, Vermont Children’s Aid Society, the Lund Family Center, Women Helping Battered Women, the Community Justice Center and the Burlington Housing Authority. The project does not require a change in zoning, since the property is already approved for this kind of use. m

BURLINGTON — As growing numbers of new refugees and immigrants flood into the greater Burlington area, the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf is seeing firsthand that hunger knows no borders. Many of Chittenden County’s newest residents from overseas depend on the food pantry for their daily sustenance, and that increased need is taxing an agency already overburdened by record numbers of clients. In recent years, the problem has been further exacerbated by language and cultural issues, particularly involving newcomers from Africa and the former Yugoslavia. With 315 new African refugees expected to move into the area this year, the food shelf plans to hire a temporary translator this week who is fluent in English, French, Swahili and possibly Maay-Maay to help them manage the influx. Wanda Hines, the Food Shelf’s executive director, explains that the part-time translator position is needed because cultural and language barriers have hampered their ability to adequately serve the needs of all their clients. She explains that the increased time demands of communicating with non-English speakers, including processing their paperwork and explaining the rules and procedures, have “noticeably influenced and impaired” the number of households the agency can serve each day. In the past, food-shelf clients usually had to wait no more than 15 minutes for assistance. Today, that delay can last

as long as 40 minutes. The result has been a growing frustration and resentment among some English-speaking clients, who complain that refugee families are getting preferential treatment. “The impact of the various refugee cultures is definitely changing the way we do business,” Hines says. “They all have to understand that it’s not about creating special privileges. It’s about equal access for everyone.” The problems aren’t just due to language differences but also to learned cultural behaviors, Hines explains. She says that some African and Bosnian families have a tendency to hoard large amounts of food on each visit, which results in not enough fresh bread or produce at the end of the day to meet the needs of all families who want them. Other immigrants, Hines suggests, seem to come in with a “sense of entitlement” about how much food they should be allowed to take home. Moreover, many new arrivals from Africa are highly distrustful of canned goods, Hines explains; some even refer to them as “cancer.” They’ll sometimes take home more fresh fruits and vegetables

than their family can consume, which is against the rules. As a result, the Food Shelf has had to cut back the hours when certain items, such as fresh bread, are available. Such difficulties come at a time when the overall demand for emergency hunger-relief services has hit an all-time high, not only in Chittenden County but statewide. In the past four years, the demand for food stamps has increased by more than $10 million statewide, from $33 million four years ago to nearly $44 million today. It’s now estimated that 55,000 people throughout Vermont, including 21,000 children, live in “food-insecure” households. The African-languages translator will work at the Food Shelf for six months. After that, a Bosnian and Croatian translator will be brought aboard for six months to assist immigrants and refugees from the former Yugoslavia. Hines hopes the new translators will not only smooth the process of distributing food, but also open up new funding streams to support the Food Shelf’s operations. m

It’s also being hailed as a successful model for electoral reform for other municipalities and states across the country, according to one expert who helped the city with its implementation. Caleb Kleppner is a consultant with Election Solutions of New Haven, Connecticut. In December, Kleppner began working with the City of Burlington to design an IRV voter-education campaign and test the software that would tally the results. “The real story of this election is that it worked incredibly smoothly, more smoothly than I expected,â€? Klepper says. “Voters and poll workers didn’t have any problems with it at all.â€? IRV balloting allows voters to rank their choice of candidates in order of preference. Although critics warned that certain people, such as first-time voters and the elderly, might get confused by the new system, nearly all Burlington voters found the transition an easy one; the city’s help desk was quiet all day. The process of closing down the polling stations at the end of the night was also quick and hassle-free, according to Kleppner. The polls closed at 7 and, by 8:30, election officials were already announcing the ward-level results. By 9 p.m., the mayoral returns were made public. “Poll workers, voters and the media all came to the same conclusion: ‘This was easy,’â€? Kleppner adds.

Burlington’s mayoral election was also noteworthy for its unprecedented openness. Anyone with access to an online computer can visit a website — http://www.burlingtonvotes.org — to see the electronic record of every vote cast, and examine the software used to count it. Those who question the outcome of the election can also download the raw data and the software and independently tally the votes, then check those results against the paper ballots kept in City Hall.

was a common practice around the country throughout much of the first half of the 20th century. The advantages of IRV are obvious. Since it eliminates the need for traditional runoff elections, it saves candidates and election officials both time and money. And, the results of IRV are seen as more representative of the will of the people, since voter turnout usually drops considerably in a runoff race. However, IRV was discontinued for both practical and political

This is the most transparent election that’s ever been conducted in the United States. CALEB KLEPPNER

The only information that’s not public is the identity of each voter and the proprietary software of Diebold, the manufacturer of Burlington’s ballot-scanning machines. “This is the most transparent election that’s ever been conducted in the United States,� Kleppner asserts. “You’ve got an electronic record of every vote, you’ve got a paper record of every vote, and any member of the public can scrutinize it.� Burlington is only the second city in the nation to use IRV balloting on modern voting equipment — San Francisco was the first, in 2004. However, IRV is not a new phenomenon in the United States. According to Kleppner, it was first used in municipal elections as early as the 1910s and

reasons. Before the advent of electronic voting machines, IRV ballots could be very time-consuming to tally by hand; in other places, the losing party lobbied for their removal. For instance, Ann Arbor, Michigan, decided its 1975 mayoral race by IRV, only to discontinue it shortly afterwards, when the Republican frontrunner, who had earned 49 percent of the vote in the first round, lost to the Democratic candidate, who had garnered only 40 percent. Kleppner predicts that Burlington’s overwhelming success with IRV will encourage other towns and cities to consider adopting it. “There’s growing interest in IRV across the country,� he suggests, “but a lot of places didn’t want to be the first ones to stick their necks out.� m

Gov. Douglas In Iraq — Vermont Uprising Grows!

NEW! Dinner Special (replaces Early Bird Special)

V

ermont’s Republican Gov. Jim Douglas made an unannounced visit to the Iraq war zone this week. Word came Tuesday morning shortly after 8:30 from gubernatorial press secretary Jason Gibbs and caught everyone off guard. “Governor Jim Douglas is making a surprise visit to Vermont troops serving in the Global War on Terror this week, beginning with visits to Kuwait and Iraq,” stated the release. Gov. Scissorhands dined with Vermont troops in Kuwait on Monday and arrived in Baghdad Tuesday morning. From there he flew by armed chopper to the base outside Ramadi where many Vermont Guard troops are stationed. Tuesday afternoon Gov. Scissorhands spoke with the Montpelier press corps via satellite phone from Kuwait where he’s spending his nights. Yes, he wore body armor and a helmet. And yes, he heard a little gunfire in Baghdad. Douglas’ decision to leave the country couldn’t have been timed better. That’s because on Tuesday morning, newspaper readers in the nation’s capital read a very interesting story about the state Jim Douglas governs: “Vermont Towns Call for Bush Impeachment.” The Washington Times zeroed in on Newfane, Vermont, and Dan Dewalt, the 49-year-old ponytailed selectman who sponsored the Town Meeting Day resolution calling for the impeachment of America’s current Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush. It passed 121-29. The Times, which bills itself as “America’s Newspaper,” also told Washington, D.C., readers that Mr. Dewalt “likes tofu,” “makes cabinets,” and “grows organic vegetables in his spare time.” Reporter Stephanie Mansfield (hmm — any relation to the mountain?) summed it up this way: “Newfane, a tranquil enclave where Volvos go to die, decided to rise up in revolution to lead the charge for impeaching Mr. Bush.” “I don’t know if [Bush] is a bum,” Dewalt told the Washington Times, “but he is a liar.” Not much argument about that anymore, eh? In addition to Newfane, impeachment resolutions were adopted at town meetings in Dummerston, Brookfield, Marlboro and Putney. The Washington Times told readers, “The White House press office has made no statement on the Vermont uprising.” Not yet, anyway. Besides the Town Meeting Day support, the impeachment of George Bush is the hot, hot topic among grassroots Vermont Democrats. Last week, we reported the Orleans County Democratic Committee was poised to adopt the so-called “Rutland Resolution” authored by Jeff Taylor of Clarendon. They did. Taylor’s resolution is based on Sec. 603 of Jefferson’s Manual. The Manual guides U.S. House procedure. Sec. 603 permits an impeachment resolution to be brought by

an individual state legislature! First passed by Rutland County Democrats on February 28, the “Rutland Resolution” calls for the impeachment of our dangerous president for a host of high crimes and misdemeanors, from illegal wiretaps to lying about the reasons for war. “Inside Track” has learned that, in the past week, the resolution has also been adopted by Democratic Party committees in Franklin and Bennington counties. More county votes are scheduled. According to Steve Schlipf, secretary of the Franklin County Committee, the Vermont Democratic State Committee “will be asked to have a special session to endorse a similar resolution, after which the process goes to the legislature for the joint resolution. If this passes, it will be brought to the U.S. House.” We learned Tuesday that at least one party leader, state Chairman Ian Carleton, will be happy to accommodate the grassroots impeachment effort. “It’s my understanding it’s gained significant momentum in the counties and there’s going to be a move to have a special state committee meeting to address this at a statewide level,” said Chairman Carleton on Tuesday. “I support that and I’d be happy to schedule such a meeting as soon as possible if that’s the will of the counties.” Looks like another national media spotlight might be focused on little Vermont, eh? Incidentally, Carleton, who’s been Democratic state chairman for just three months, is an attorney and graduate of Yale Law School. But like yours truly and countless other Americans, he’d never heard of Jefferson’s Manual until Jeff Taylor’s resolution was adopted in Rutland County two weeks ago. “If it ever came up,” said Carleton,”it was in an American history class, not in law school.” As for Gov. Scissorhands’ trip to see the situation in Iraq firsthand, Democratic State Sen. Peter Welch, candidate for U.S. Congress, told “Inside Track” he hopes that when Douglas returns, he’ll hold a public town meeting to allow ordinary Vermonters “to hear what insights he’s developed from his trip to Iraq, and let Vermonters ask questions.” Good idea, eh? In fact, if the Vermont Democratic State Committee adopts the impeachment resolution in coming weeks, it will be sent to the Democratic-controlled Vermont legislature for adoption by House and Senate. So far, legislative leaders have not commented. Some will no doubt argue it’s nothing more than a monkeywrench that will stall adjournment, costing the taxpayers money. Surely that’s what Gov. Douglas will say, eh? Others, we trust, will suggest that our state legislators’ number one responsibility is to listen to the voices and the will of the people who elected them. And given the horrendous human and financial costs of

this president’s needless war, putting Vermont’s voice front and center on Capitol Hill might be just what our country needs right now. Marvelous Martha — The November opponent Peter Welch is worried about, Republican first-timer Martha Rainville, appeared on Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Me” Sunday morning (She looked awful in some lightgray top, too. Bad color choice!). Marvelous Martha is wearing two hats this month: officially declared congressional candidate and commander of the Vermont National Guard. Next month, Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie’s little brother Michael Dubie — also a professional airline pilot — will replace the nation’s first female adjutant general, and Martha will be a fulltime candidate. Welchie recently issued a public call for the dismissal of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Rummy, a loyal and deceitful Bush appointee, has led America’s most ill-conceived and badly planned military action since President Lyndon Johnson sent 58,000 young Americans to die in the rice paddies of Vietnam. “I don’t think firing the Secretary of Defense would have any positive effect on what’s going on in Iraq,” said Rainville to Ch. 3 questioners Marselis Parsons and Anson Tebbetts. “Sec. Rumsfeld has had his own ideas on how to approach the situation in Iraq. I’ve spoken out before, with some frustration on the post-conflict planning. That’s an area many would agree we could have done better on, but he alone was not responsible for all the post-conflict planning.” Dumping Donald “would serve no productive purpose,” said Marvelous Martha, “and perhaps cause some turbulence at a time we don’t need it.” So let’s keep our incompetent defense secretary right where he is? Really? Does Candidate Rainville truly believe there’s nothing but smooth sailing ahead? Mr. Tebbetts, journalist and dairy farmer, asked Martha about a report in the Valley News in which she expressed reluctance to have President Bush campaign for her. “You said no. Why would you turn down an invitation from the President of the United States to come campaign for you?” asked Anson. “I don’t believe I said no,” replied Candidate Rainville. “I think that what I said was that the president of the United States has far more important things to do than come and campaign for Martha Rainville. But if the president told me he wanted to come and campaign for me, I would certainly not tell him no. I would always be honored to have the president of the United States come to Vermont. I would never ask him to, though, because he is elected to be the leader and has far bigger fish to fry than coming

to Vermont to help me.” “Is he a liability in this state?” asked Marsillyiss. “In what way?” asked Martha. “A liability,” replied Ch. 3’s news director, “to a Republican candidate because his popularity is so low.” “I think the Democrats are trying very hard to make this election about George Bush and their perception of George Bush. In that sense it would give them a lot of fodder for their spin. I think the president has done a lot of good things and we need to respect that.” Unfortunately, the Boys of Ch. 3 didn’t ask Martha to name a few of those “good things.” Obama Whamma! — Illinois Democratic Sen. Barack Obama was a big hit Friday both at UVM and later at a campaign fundraiser for Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch at the Sheraton Burlington. An enormous crowd, estimated at 2000, overflowed UVM’s Ira Allen Chapel and extended all the way to Main Street. The event, which also featured remarks by Sanders and Welch, was free and open to the public. First come, first served. Obama was a bit of a disappointment. Heralded as the next great black hope of the national Democratic Party, the Grammy Award-winning pol from Chicago gave a less-than-riveting address. The red meat, anti-Iraq War crowd got few red-meat lines from Obama. One thing Obama Whamma’s first-ever Vermont visit did do was give Republican Rich Tarrant’s U.S. Senate Campaign an opening to attack Ol’ Bernardo. Tarrant’s life-story campaign commercials have been filling the local TV and radio airwaves for weeks. On Friday, campaign manager Tim Lennon issued a press release attacking Bernie Sanders for holding the campaign fundraiser with Obama. Tarrant accused Sanders of “hypocrisy.” Richie Rich told Ch. 5, “I think it’s ironic that someone who’s so pro-little guy and wanting access to the political system for everyone now has a limitedaccess event. You have to have a thousand dollars to get hors d’oeuvres and a Coke or Pepsi. It just seems to be comical, if not hypocritical.” Goodness gracious. Ticket prices at the fundraiser started at $200. But does the wealthiest, self-funded political candidate Vermont’s ever seen really have a problem with his opponents holding fundraisers? Asked about that, Sanders’ Chief-of-Staff Jeff Weaver scoffed, “Well, it looks like you can’t raise money in-state. You can’t raise money out of state. I guess Rich Tarrant is the only guy in this race who gets to spend any money!” Weaver, a Franklin County boy and former U.S. Marine, added, “The truth of the matter is, when they bring Republican big-wigs into Vermont, they sneak them in in the dark of

night, and no one gets to see them for free.” That’s a reference to the recent secret visit to the Inn at Essex GOP fundraiser by Denny Hastert, the Republican Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. “We had 1500 Vermonters who came out to see Barack Obama free of charge and open to the public,” countered Weaver. Later Friday, Richie Rich appeared on “Live at 5:25” on local Burlington public-access TV, hosted by conservative former State Rep. Mike Quaid. Softball questions only. Richie noted he’s been clear about not personally taking money from the national GOP or from PACS or other special-interest groups. He neglected to mention why that is, however: He doesn’t need anyone else’s money! You see, U.S. Senate Candidate Tarrant has not yet told Vermonters what his actual net worth is. However, on a required Senate disclosure form, Mr. Tarrant did check the box for the highest available category of net worth: “Over $50 million.” Estimates of his actual net worth have been in the $200 to $300 million range. Nor did Richie Rich mention to Quaid that Ol’ Bernardo had fired back a counterchallenge, calling on Tarrant to join him in setting a campaign spending cap, as well as schedule face-to-face, open-to-thepublic debates in all 14 Vermont counties. Instead, Tarrant squirmed in his seat and appeared restless and uncomfortable. Clearly, this is a man who doesn’t like being challenged. A successful corporate CEO used to asking all the questions himself. That’s probably why Candidate Tarrant doesn’t hold press conferences, eh? “It’s amazing to me,” scoffed Richie Rich on Ch. 17. “I’m about issues. I don’t care about all that stuff. I want to get issues on the table, and already they’re starting with all the crap!” Well, a lot of folks would suggest that “crap” is the only issue that Mr. Tarrant’s senatorial campaign has been focusing on to date. P.S. Incidentally, while Richie Rich was publicly condemning Sanders for daring to hold a campaign fundraiser with Obama, he rather sneakily neglected to mention he had just notified the Federal Election Commission he’s loaned another $425,000 to his own campaign treasury. That’s $2.1 million in personal funds that Tarrant has kicked in so far, and it’s only March. Election Day is eight months away! The nerve of Bernie to hold fundraisers! m

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ President of Iran Is a “Total Whack Job,” Says Kim Jong-Il Reacting to recent threats by Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad to inflict “harm and pain” on the United States in retaliation for clamping down on its nuclear program, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il today called Mr. Amadinejad “a total whack job.” Kim’s comment about President Amadinejad surprised many in the international community, since it is highly unusual for one member of the Axis of Evil to criticize another in public. But according to the North Korean dictator, “When Mahmoud shoots his mouth off like that he makes us all look like a bunch of nuts.” “It’s the Axis of Evil,” Kim added, “not the Axis of Lunatics.” Hours after Kim made his remarks, however, Osama bin Laden appeared in a new videotape to pooh-pooh any speculation about a rift between the North Korean madman and the Iranian madman. Mr. bin Laden, who replaced Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the Axis of Evil when he was toppled in 2003, said that trashtalking between Kim and Mr. Amadinejad was “nothing out of the ordinary” for the two evildoers. “That’s how they roll,” Mr. bin Laden said, adding that Axis of Evil meetings often descend into insults and “yo mama” jokes. While the al Qaeda terror mastermind said that his two colleagues were often exasperating, he said he has no plans to leave the Axis of Evil: “Someone around here has to be the voice of reason.” Elsewhere, Vice President Dick Cheney made his case for warrantless wiretaps today, telling reporters, “Everything else we’ve done for the past five years has been completely unwarranted.” >

“I brought my mother along — just to piss you off.”

mtrak is still clinging to life despite the “thousand cuts� inflicted by the Bush Administration and Republican Congress. Apparently, they want our national passenger trains to be economically “self-sufficient,� as if any transportation system — subways, buses, trucking, planes — could possibly operate without massive government support in the form of roads, airports and the like. Whatever happened to “public good?� Such were my musings as I watched the northbound nighttime train clank and grind to a stop in Essex Junction and let off its passengers. The man who approached my taxi was entirely bald, a clean-shaven look that’s become common. I find it kind of in-your-face, gutsy and macho — a presentation that says: You think a thinning scalp is less than manly? Well, check this out. He was dressed all in black and moved deliberately along the platform, pulling a single piece of luggage behind. “Are you available?� he asked. His eyes were pale blue behind rimless spectacles. “I need to get to Summit Street, up by the university.�

Now facing him with the vehicle securely in park, I could discern a slight filminess coating his eyes. As I hoisted his bag into the trunk, I noticed he had some difficulty making his way into the front seat. It wasn’t that he was unsteady on his feet; rather, he appeared to be suffering from some kind of vision impairment. “So, do you live in town, or are you up visiting?� I asked as we scooted along Pearl Street past the fairgrounds. “I’m visiting my daughter,� he replied. “I did live here for years, though. I’m a retired UVM professor. I’m living in New York City now.� “No kidding? What was your field?� “Art history.� “Wow — I’m fascinated by that. I mean, I’ve never studied it, but the way one period of art follows and builds upon what came before, I find that so intriguing.� A slight smile came to his face, which I took as an educator’s natural appreciation of intellectual curiosity, regardless of the source. “Well, there are videos of art historians, the top scholars in the field, lecturing on the subject. That’s a great way to delve into it.� “Thanks for the suggestion,� I said. “I just might look into that. If you don’t mind me asking, did you recently stop teaching? You look too young to be retired.� “Well, looks can be deceiving. No, I’ve been retired for quite a while now. I just turned 70.�

“Get out of here. You don’t look anywhere near that. I’m not kidding.� The road surface appeared clear as we merged onto I-89. Still, I took it slow and steady; it had been snowing lightly all day, and I feared the dreaded black ice, particularly along the bridge over the Winooski River. The art lover in me wanted to hear more from the professor, so I asked, “Beyond the teaching, are you an artist yourself?� “I am,� he replied. “Mostly in oils and watercolor. This part of my life has changed a lot, though. I’m slowly going blind; the painting is evolving, let’s say. It’s now a matter of broad brush strokes, nothing too detailed.� He shared this information matter-offactly, which somehow made it all the more poignant. What a biting irony, I thought, like Beethoven’s deafness. “Didn’t that happen to Manet in his last years?� I asked. “I remember reading something about him painting while lying supine in his bed, I think with the help of a bunch of assistants or students.� “Well, you’re close,� he said, smiling. “I believe you’re thinking of Monet. And, indeed, some feel his final series of paintings, the murals, were among the finest of his career.� “Maybe I better rent those videos,� I said, shaking my head. “As I said,� he played along with a chuckle. We arrived at his daughter’s home, a small, beautifully maintained Tudor in the heart of the hill section. “Thanks for the lift,� the professor said, paying the fare. Before he got out I said, “You know, I’ve got to say something. You just seem to have a great attitude. I mean, you don’t seem bitter in the least. That impresses me.� “Let me tell you something,� he said. Now facing him with the vehicle securely in park, I could discern a slight filminess coating his eyes. “In the ’90s I had the opportunity to spend a long period of time in Europe. I visited all the old capitals, the grand museums and centers of art. All day long, month after month, I experienced the great Masters from the past, and I soaked it in. These visions remain with me. The paintings are lodged in my memory bank, in my mind’s eye. No matter what happens, I carry this with me, and it gives me great solace.� I drove off slowly, drifting down the Maple Street hill, the full moon hovering above the Adirondacks before me. The professor’s life story had awakened my reflective self, and questions — those kinds of questions — began to bubble up and take shape: What are my visions? What do I have to hold onto, when push comes to shove? m “Hackie� is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Jernigan Pontiac, email hackie@sevendaysvt.com.

What an amazing time at dinner! Waterbury’s new star is an understatement as I feel it is one of the best around. Residing in the Mad River Valley, I am a local to Michael’s, The Common Man, and the Kitchen Table and felt that the food, location and service was fantastic. A perfect place to take the person you enjoy spending time with as the wine list and local foods are carefully prepared to perfection!! I would recommend the smoked duck breast and make sure not to miss out on one of the awesome desserts, such as the milk chocolate tart! Enjoy!!

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION

Naming Names

I

t was Memorial Day 2005 when Ross Connelly, copublisher and editor of The Hardwick Gazette, decided to use his weekly editorial to name the American soldiers killed in Iraq. By that time, 34 months after the U.S. invasion, the American casualty count was 1735. Connelly headlined the column “In Memoriam.” Trying to squeeze in as many as possible, he listed only the soldiers’ names and ranks. He set the column in agate type, a small point size generally used for classified ads. Within several weeks, he was able to print the names of all the Americans killed in Iraq through Memorial Day. Each week, Connelly — who has owned the paper with his wife, Susan Jarzyna, since 1986 — would go to the Web to download “another chunk” of the Department of Defense casualty reports. Reading the details of the reports, which include not just the soldiers’ names and ranks, but also their hometowns, armed-forces divisions and circumstances of death, had an effect on Connelly: “They became real people, not just names.” These people came from a place, maybe like Hardwick, where each had a family, a pet, a best friend, a

Since Memorial Day, the editor’s space in the Hardwick Gazette has become a serial memorial. hobby. And each suffered his own, unique death. “As I was doing it,” Connelly told me, “I had this real emotional sense of loss. I felt sad. I wanted to share that with readers.” So the Gazette started printing all the information Connelly downloaded. He abandoned the agate for a larger type. It was a newspaperman’s humble homage. Then, on September 22, 2005, the realness got realer. Specialist Scott P. McLaughlin, 29, of Hardwick — 1st Battalion, 172nd Armor Regiment, 42nd Armor Division of the Vermont Army National Guard — was fighting outside Ramadi when a sniper’s bullet pierced the seams of his body armor. Scott and Nicole McLaughlin had only recently moved to Hardwick. They had a baby daughter, Molly, and a 6-year-old son, Tyler. McLaughlin had enlisted in the Marines after high school, then returned to Vermont and joined the National Guard. Before shipping out, he worked as a lasercutting technician in Middlesex. He was an active member of Living Hope Fellowship church. He loved strawberry shortcake and fishing — he went fishing on his wedding day, in his tux. That week, Connelly dedicated the column to Scott McLaughlin. He set the announcement inside a black border. Then he resumed the ordinary lists. Until last week. Just six months after Scott McLaughlin’s death, the Gazette ran a second black box, for another Hardwick family burying one of its own. This time, it was National Guard Specialist Christopher Merchant, a volunteer with Company C, 1/172nd Armor, who later transferred to Task Force Saber. Merchant was killed on March 1, in an attack on Iraqi police headquarters a few miles outside Ramadi. He died instantly after being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, according to the National “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.

NATIONAL GUARD SPECIALIST CHRISTOPHER MERCHANT, KILLED NEAR RAMADI, IRAQ ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2005

Guard. The press release added, “He was wearing his full complement of Individual Body Armor and Kevlar helmet.” Merchant, born in Burlington, was the father of three daughters and a stepson, ages 9 to 14. He was a fan of the New York Yankees and Star Wars, and an excellent bowler and baker; he attended St. Norberts Church. Only two months before leaving for Iraq, he had been hired as a custodian at his alma mater, Peoples Academy in Morrisville. His mother Janet worked in the cafeteria. “He volunteered to go to Iraq with the hope that he could make a difference, so his son would not one day have to go to war,” wrote his wife, Monica, in a public statement. His friend Colin Mlcuch expressed a similar sympathy. “I think [Chris] joined up when he saw what was happening to the soldiers there. He saw a lot of young kids dying too young.” Merchant was 32. Recently, some members of a student club that opposes military recruitment at Hazen Union School placed an ad in the school paper, the TBone. It was a photograph of a graveyard; its text began, You can’t be all you can be if you’re dead. The ad pointed out, “There are other ways to get money for college,” and urged students to “think about it” before signing up. Recruiters regularly set up tables in the cafeteria, distributing pens and other sou-

venirs to students who show interest. To reach its enlistment quotas, the Army has admittedly targeted working-class communities like Hardwick, where jobs are few and many families cannot afford college tuition. After the ad ran, a raft of letters hit the Gazette. A few writers supported the students, but most were angry. By contrast, the Gazette has not received one letter about Connelly’s “In Memoriam” columns. Only a handful of folks have even mentioned them to Connelly. One person was appreciative. Another, who served in Afghanistan, asked if Connelly meant to make a political statement. Before the editor could answer, his interlocutor answered his own question: “I guess it’s whatever politics you want to put on it. It’s up to the reader.” U.S. deaths in Iraq have reached 2300, including 23 servicepeople with ties to Vermont — two from Hardwick, a town of 3200.

EXERCISING YOUR OPTIONS

Mastering the Race

L IMAGE Jay Ericson Visit http://www. nemasters.org and http:// www.ussa.org for more information.

ast weekend, 120 ski racers competed at Sugarbush Resort in the disciplines of slalom, giant slalom and super G. The softening snow, sun, clouds, rain and wind were not the only changing and challenging conditions these racers faced. As Steve Foley of Killington puts it, “You have to fight back the rust every day.” Foley, 65, is one of some 3000 Masters ski racers in the country, a group of athletes aged 21 to 90 who spend their weekends flying down mountains at speeds approaching 70 miles per hour. Like Bode Miller and Daron Rahlves, they belong to the United States Ski Association and follow an exhaustive travel schedule; Masters athletes also zip up in speed suits, compete for gold medals, and celebrate with beer while swapping tales of their turns. In Vermont, this pastime is becoming more popular as former collegiate and World Cup racers, along with empty nesters and office workers, seek ways to feed an addiction to speed. “I’ve seen a big growth in Masters racing,” says P.J. Dewey, owner of Race Stock Sports in Waterbury. “It’s the baby boomers who are getting into it.” Dewey, a former World Cup boot technician, outfits many New England Masters racers with the top equipment to tackle the tricky courses. But it takes more than sharp edges and properly fitted boots to send Masters racers sliding down the slopes swiftly and safely. “You’re using every single muscle in your body and lots of different ranges of motion,” explains Steve Victorson, a Massachusetts trainer and former U.S. Ski Team conditioning coach who helps Masters racers maintain their edge. “You’re constantly being challenged with different knee bends and forces,” Victorson adds. “It’s very athletic — the level of fitness that racing requires is like sprinting a hilly, winding, 400-meter run.” Among the ski racers Victorson has helped put on the podium is Carolyn Beckedorff, 39. A banking job “Fit to Live” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Sarah Tuff, email tuff@sevendaysvt.com.

in Boston keeps her on her duff most days, so Victorson works on “dynamically” training her for the types of moves she’ll be making on the mountain. “If you sit all day at your desk and then you go to a health club and sit on a bike or a bunch of machines, it’s better than nothing,” said Victorson. “But it’s nowhere near what you need to do; you really have to do exercise that forces you to move your body in the same way you ski race.” Bode Miller came home from the Torino Olympic Winter Games without a medal, but he also made it back with his limbs intact. And safety is clearly another reason Masters racers have to stay strong, according to Victorson. “When you’re at the top of a race course, you really need to know you’ve done everything you possibly could to prepare for this moment.” Even after six years of training with Victorson, Beckedorff still has moments when she might hesitate about her hobby, she admits. “Sometimes I’ll be at the top of a race course and say to myself, ‘What are you doing?’” Racers’ fears of injuries are right on, says Oliver Hall, a physical therapist with Poulin Performance in Waitsfield. “Knees and backs — those are the areas that are going to take the biggest toll for skiers of any age,” he points out. “Plus, muscles start to atrophy with age, so you naturally become stiffer and tighter.” Pete Donaghy, the North Hero-based president of New England Masters, says he’s seen a seismic shift in the way he and his fellow racers prepare for an event. “When I started out, about 15 years ago, in the summers I’d do a little bit of biking and mow the lawn and be fresh for the season,” recalls the 62-year-old, who competed for UVM and returned to racing when he sought a healthier outlet on weekends than going to a bar and watching football. “Now I have to stay in shape all the time; I can’t take a couple of months off, because it just doesn’t come back.” Donaghy has taken up rowing — also the training program of choice for Bob Burley of Lake Elmore, another competitor in the Stowe ski-bum league. When it’s warm, the 63-year-old racer rows his Adirondack guide boat across Lake Champlain and clears hiking trails. It’s a better workout than he gets in the gym, Burley says — “and I save on health-club fees!”

For some Masters racers, training to stay in control can sometimes spiral out of control. “When I started ski racing, I think I had more nerve than talent,” confesses Bethel’s Fred Dieffenbach, 48, who now trains through triathlons, soccer, weight lifting and karate. “I tend to approach skiing, and most other activities, with an eye toward performance . . . It seems that nearly every activity I have identified as a means to improve my ski-specific fitness has turned into a hobby itself.” The competitiveness among Masters racers can spill into these other sports, too. “I’m proud to say I’m one of the fastest guys my age at the Dartmouth track, where I train on Wednesday evenings in the summer,” says Foley, a retired pilot and father of three. In the winter, the Killington skier picks up tips from the high school team he coaches, jogs for 25minute sessions, and does sit-ups, push-ups and leg presses while waiting for his shower to warm up. “If I didn’t maintain my level of fitness, I’d be one tired buckaroo,” he says. Restocking energy is necessary not only for the race course but also for the post-race gatherings; the social aspect of their sport, many Masters athletes say, is what keeps them battling Mother Nature and Father Time. “I don’t think the public quite understands how hard it is to be good at ski racing,” says Donaghy. “But there do tend to be some fairly good parties.” When the Sugarbush races and awards parties wrapped up on Sunday afternoon, rest was far from many athletes’ minds. Instead, they were planning road trips to Sunday River, Maine, where the Masters national championships will be contested next week. Among the racers headed to Maine is St. Johnsbury’s David “Duffy” Dodge, 79, who’s won his age class at the national championships for the past five years. “I’d like to win again,” he admits. Dodge’s training approach doesn’t exactly match his competitive drive, though. “I don’t run or lift weights or anything like that,” he says. “Too lazy, maybe.” m

Do the Write Thing How a small, leftist publisher in Vermont is having a national impact

M STORY

CATHY RESMER

ighty Mouse — that’s the cartoon character on Beau Friedlander’s black Tshirt. Friedlander is the marketing director at Chelsea Green, a small book-publishing company based in White River Junction. “This is what all small press people should wear,” he quips one snowy March morning. In a publishing market dominated by giant multinational media conglomerates, Chelsea Green does resemble a kind of diminutive rodent. The company employs just 16 people full-time — 13 of them at its HQ, three more at a warehouse in Brattleboro. It also relies on an array of freelance marketers, designers and editors scattered throughout the country. But Chelsea Green packs a potent political punch. Its 2006 titles include Mission Rejected, Peter Laufer’s book about U.S. soldiers who’ve deserted to avoid serving in Iraq, and Serve God, Save the Planet by J. Matthew Sleeth, an evangelical Christian calling on his brethren to join the environmental movement. This year’s biggest release is Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics by liberal bloggers Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. Its official pub date is March 27, but it already merited an op-ed in last Sunday’s New York Times, and a mention in Matt Bai’s NYT Sunday Magazine cover story about Democratic presidential hopeful Mark Warner. Chelsea Green hopes that Crashing the Gate repeats the success of the company’s 2004 political bestseller, George Lakoff’s Don’t Think of an Elephant, which has sold over 250,000 copies. Friedlander promises that if sales of Crashing the Gate don’t hit 100,000, he will eat one of the books. But Chelsea Green publisher and president Margo Baldwin notes that moving product isn’t her only goal. “We want to change the world, “she says, “to be sort of trite about it.” Activism has always been central to the mission of the company Baldwin founded with her husband Ian in 1984, though for most of its 22-year history, Chelsea Green was known for books on “sustainable living.” Its early catalogue includes green building tomes like The Straw Bale House and The Complete Yurt Handbook, as well as Eliot Coleman’s organic agriculture classics.

The Baldwins, who moved to Vermont from New York City, left Chelsea Green in the 1990s to spend more time with family. When Margo returned to steer the ship in 2002, she took the company in a new direction. “I came back in with a mission to expand,” she says, “to take in all aspects of sustainable living, including politics.” Today the publishing house is overtly political. Its website, for example, includes a constantly updating “Cost of the war in Iraq” counter, and a strident blog dubbed “Flaming Grasshoppper”; the grasshopper has long been the company’s mascot, but now, apparently, it’s on fire. There’s also a “Message from the Publisher” that reads: “George W. and his greedy band of corporate-enabled neo-con thugs have been unleashed upon the world, and it increasingly feels like an apocalypse may be at hand. Not their fundamentalist Hollywood version, but the real thing: the approaching collapse of the basic life support systems of earth.” Sounds like they’re all on fire at Chelsea Green. The company’s catalogue has expanded to include books such as Guantanamo: What the World Should Know and Troubled Water, a book about the global water crisis. In 2005, Chelsea Green published Unembedded, a book of images from four photojournalists working in Iraq. “It’s expensive and very risky to do a photography book,” notes Baldwin, “but it was an attempt to raise awareness about this war, and to try to bring it to an end.” This new approach, coupled with a growing nationwide acceptance of sustainable living practices, has fueled sales growth. In its March 6 issue, Publisher’s Weekly named Chelsea Green the second-fastest-growing small publisher in the country, with a sales growth of 89 percent between 2003 and 2005. Much of that can be attributed to the success of Lakoff’s “framing” manifesto. Chelsea Green lucked out when they scored it; he approached them when mainstream publishers turned him away. The book took off during the 2004 presidential election, and only got hotter after Kerry’s defeat. Consultants glommed onto Lakoff’s theory that the Republicans won by using linguistic trickery. The New York Times Sunday Magazine ran a cover story on Lakoff in July 2005. Baldwin has a copy of the magazine tacked to a bulletin board in her book-filled corner office in the Tip Top Building on North Main Street. Her windows offer a splendid view of the railroad tracks. A blue and yellow New England Central engine rumbles by, close enough to rattle the windows, as she explains how Lakoff’s

CHELSEA GREEN PUBLISHER MARGO BALDWIN

book really got traction. It was the bloggers, she says. On September 20, 2004, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, creator of Daily Kos, the world’s most highly trafficked political blog, praised Lakoff’s work in a post entitled “The Best Book This Cycle.” “I’m not one to recommend books lightly,” Moulitsas writes. “In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever said ‘You HAVE to get this book.’ But there’s always a first time for everything . . . if there’s one book you read this year, it should be this one . . . I’m absolutely smitten by it.” After that post appeared, Baldwin recalls, “We watched the ranking on Amazon go up — it went all the way to number five. Our jaws were just drop-

tops half a million hits a day — higher in the run-up to an election. That reach drew representatives from major publishers, who offered access to their distribution networks, and big advances. Baldwin courted the bloggers, too, and eventually agreed to fly to California to meet with Moulitsas. She’d also scheduled a face-to-face with Don’t Think Like an Elephant author Lakoff on that trip, and by chance the three of them ended up lunching together. The date nearly killed the blogger deal, says Baldwin. Lakoff chose that moment to tell the publisher that he would be doing his next book with a mainstream press. “I’m trying to pitch Markos to sign with us,” she remem-

We want to change the world, to be sort of trite about it. MARGO BALDWIN

ping. We saw the power of that kind of marketing.” It was Friedlander, actually, who figured it out. He had sent Moulitsas a review copy of the book. And it was Friedlander who passed along the tip that Moulitsas and Armstrong were working on a manuscript of their own. He urged Baldwin to get it. It wasn’t easy, she says. The bloggers are more or less celebrities in progressive Democratic circles. They’re both veterans of Wesley Clark’s and Howard Dean’s Internet-savvy 2004 presidential campaigns; Armstrong even moved his family to Burlington to work for Dean before relocating last year to Virginia. The two bloggers have developed quite a following. Their combined daily readership at http://www.dailiykos.com and http://www.mydd.com handily

bers, “and our biggest author is saying he’s going to sign with a big New York house.” Baldwin was so outraged that she and Chelsea Green editor-at-large Jennifer Nix collaborated on an essay called “Sleeping With the Enemy,” which they posted on AlterNet. In it, Nix chastises progressive authors for signing with corporate publishers such as Disney-owned Hyperion and Viacom’s Simon and Schuster. “Why not work with independent book publishers to share with the public your thoughts about progressive politics, social justice, sustainability and media reform,” she writes, “instead of lining the pockets of the corporate publishers (and ultimately the five or 10 rich white men who control nearly every media message we read and hear in the U.S. today).”

SEVEN DAYS | march 15-22, 2006 | feature 25A Nix names names. She takes aim at authors like Amy Goodman, Michael Moore and Jim Hightower. Baldwin never got any feedback from them directly, but she recalls receiving an email from one of Goodman’s assistants. “It said something like, ‘You shouldn’t be attacking her, she’s off-limits,’” the publisher remembers. “Pssssh, no way.” Moulitsas blogged about the essay shortly after it appeared. He explained that he wanted to sign with Chelsea Green but needed some significant money up front to be able to work on the manuscript. He asked if his readers would be willing to buy the book at full price in advance, which would enable Chelsea Green to sweeten the deal. That’s how the Progressive Partner Special Limited Edition of Crashing the Gate was born. The bloggers and their friends hawked the book relentlessly on their websites to drum up sales, and Chelsea Green sold 5100 copies of the book in advance, shipping them three weeks before the others. Progressive long-distance company Working Assets handled the orders, and took a cut. The rest the publishers split with the authors — a higher than average royalty. In the end, all of the money for the early edition lined the coffers of people and institutions in the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. And the arrangement allowed Chelsea Green to give the bloggers a sixfigure advance, the highest in the company’s history. And that’s not their only unconventional marketing tactic. Instead of hiring a book promoter for the book, Baldwin chose a campaign manager from Texas. The authors’ book tour will look more like a campaign swing, complete with buttons reading: “Mom, baseball, apple pie and a unified Democratic juggernaut.” The bloggers will write about their appearances online, and anyone who blogs about the book is encouraged to submit a review to the Chelsea Green website. There, readers can find links to reviews on sites such as Slashdot and BuzzFlash alongside entries from more traditional sites like The Nation and MSNBC. Baldwin says linking to blog book reviews is just another way Chelsea Green gets around the disadvantage of being a small operation. They may not be able to buy displays for their titles in every chain bookstore, but they can connect interested readers to their books online, and give them a reason to shell out some cash. Baldwin hopes that tactics like this will prove to readers and writers that a small press like hers can compete with the bigger companies when it comes to drumming up attention and sales. Of the bloggers, she observes, “I admire the fact that they took a chance on us. It was a risky proposition.” Ultimately though, it just made sense, she says, because “We’re on their side.” m

CATHY RESMER

n March 4, The New York Times ran a front-page story headlined “Vermont Losing Prized Resource as Young Depart.” The NYT broadcast to the world a dirty little secret that those of us who live here already know: The Green Mountain State is aging rapidly. According to a report by University of Vermont economist Art Wolf, within 25 years the state’s 65and-over population will have doubled, while the number of Vermonters in the 21-34-year-old bracket will shrink. In the last decade, the number of working-age Vermonters fell by 15 percent. Governor Jim Douglas and UVM President Dan Fogel are concerned about what this will mean for Vermont’s economy. Douglas has proposed offering 12,000 college scholarships to kids who pledge to remain in the state for three years after graduation. Fogel says we should bolster UVMs and Vermont’s reputation as green businesses’ equivalent to the Silicon Valley. But what do the kids really want? Seven Days asked a dozen young adults what it would take to keep them here. We’re not sure we can or should meet their demands — or that leaving to find out what life is like in the wider world is such a bad thing. But this is what they said:

What, US Worry? Why we should care about foreign affairs story: gordon robison image: stefan bumbeck

When the controversy erupted over the Dubai Ports World plan to take over operations at some U.S. seaports, far too many people who commented on the issue seemed unaware that Dubai is a city, not a country. (If you’re wondering what Dubai looks like, go see Syriana — big chunks of the movie were shot there.) This should not have been particularly surprising. During the seven years I lived in Cairo, trips home inevitably prompted at least one question about how well I spoke Egyptian. Years ago, in a Washington, D.C., post office, the guy behind the counter asked which Austria my letter was bound for. Apparently, without the word “Europe” written in big letters across the bottom of the envelope, there was a good chance it would end up in Australia. More recently, a college professor I know told her students to write a paper on the “developing country” of their choice. One turned in an essay on Switzerland. Are we really this dumb? Apparently, yes. In a survey conducted in 2002 by Roper and the National Geographic Society, only 17 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds in the United States could find Afghanistan on a map, despite our having fought a war there only a few months earlier. In the same survey, 29 percent of the Americans polled could not find the Pacific Ocean, 58 percent could not locate Japan, and 69 percent didn’t know where the United Kingdom is. Stunningly, 11 percent couldn’t even find the United States. The comfortable, smug insularity many Americans enjoy leads to embarrassments like the National Geographic Survey, but also to effects far more serious than low test scores. Today’s United States is no longer a superpower, but rather human history’s first “hyperpower.” Coined by a French foreign minister, the term refers to a state whose political, military, economic and cultural strength overwhelms any possible adversary or group of adversaries.

Being a hyperpower means that our government’s opinion regarding almost everything counts. Transcripts of State Department news briefings are a fascinating catalogue of official reaction to statements most Americans have never heard, and clarifications of policy positions few know our government has taken. For a hyperpower, however, this is only the beginning. The global omnipresence of companies like Coca-Cola (sold in more than 200 countries), McDonald’s (70 restaurants in Chile alone) and Starbucks (25 stores in Dubai) is well known. Add to that Oprah’s status as a huge star in the Arab world; the European editions of MTV that let teens from London to Tehran watch “Date My Mom”; that the Oscars are allegedly viewed by around one billion people each year; and that this year’s host Jon Stewart already had an international audience because CNN feeds outside the U.S. include a “global edition” of “The Daily Show.” Clearly, the rest of the world devotes an amazing amount of time and effort to trying to understand us. We might at least try to return the compliment.

How did this mass ignorance come about? How did we as a society reach a point where the rest of the world seems not to matter, especially at a moment when it so screamingly, obviously does? A lot of the blame rests with a media culture that has spent two generations telling Americans our local affairs are the only ones worth paying attention to. And when television decrees something, the power of the medium is such that it has a way of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hollywood has known this for a long time. In the 1976 movie Network, a television executive asks anchorman Howard Beale, played by Peter Finch, to use his airtime to promote a perfect corporate future in which the world is “one vast and ecumenical holding company.” When Beale asks why America would deign to hear such a message from him, the executive replies: “Because you’re on television, dummy.” Network, which turns 30 this year, presciently captured the news industry’s reverse evolution into entertainment. That process was well underway when the film came out, and only accelerated in the decades that followed. During this period, management stopped seeing news divisions as a public trust. Instead, they became just another profit center within increasingly large corporations. As money grew in importance, so did ratings and circulation figures. Hence the dual pressures to pander: giving readers and viewers what they want in place of, rather than in addition to, what they need. And, equally important, doing so as cheaply as possible. Thus began a decades-long trend toward cutting and consolidating foreign coverage, in no small part because it is notoriously expensive. CNN estimated a decade ago that its smallest overseas operations — bureaus consisting of only three or four people, all but the reporter locally hired — each cost around $1 million per year to run. In war zones, insurance costs alone can be astronomical — $600 or more per person, per day. Recent months have seen no abatement in the less-from-overseas trend. A recent spate of layoffs at Time magazine included the bureau chiefs in Beijing, Seoul, Jerusalem and Moscow. The Boston Globe has closed its Baghdad bureau. CBS keeps only a skeleton staff in the Iraqi capital. (This trend is not confined to the United States. While the BBC has a large operation in Baghdad, neither of its two main competitors — Sky News and ITN — has a permanent Baghdad office). The issue, however, is not merely one of quantity. Quality, too, has suffered. American media coverage of the wider world too often confines itself to accounts of natural disasters, our military’s deployments and human-interest stories. The emphasis is increasingly on soft and fuzzy features rather than political and social coverage that might add context to the human suffering and military operations in which the media do remain interested. There is nothing wrong, of course, with empathetic human stories. But when these take the place of serious political coverage, it becomes hard for those of us here at home to understand why these foreigners deserve empathy in the first place. The corporate world of which that executive in Network speaks so effusively has noticed this, too. Unlike many ordinary Americans, corporations

seem aware of the need to understand the outside world. They pay consultants and analysts handsomely to tell them about it in reports, in speeches and at seminars and conferences. Sometimes this takes the form of advice related to a specific business (“What’s the best way to crack the widget market in Kazakhstan?”). More often, however, it is general. Analysts are asked to identify political and economic trends that might not be obvious to a non-specialist, explaining, for example, why we are headed toward a nuclear confrontation with Iran and what form it is likely to take. In addition to college professors and former government officials, current and former media people are among the most in-demand sources of this sort of information. In the field, reporters are often under pressure to play down political analysis and coverage in favor of human stories with which the audience can supposedly empathize. More than a few have turned to consulting out of frustration over their ability to get serious analytical work into print or on the air. The audience may be smaller, but at least someone out there is interested in the expertise a reporter may have spent years developing. This situation is seen in its most extreme form when a subject touches on the military. Once soldiers are in the field, editors and producers here at home often seem interested mainly in celebrating “our brave men and women” rather than at looking at how they wound up involved in a particular conflict. Reports from Iraq about military operations in the Euphrates Valley find a far readier audience in American newsrooms than pieces explaining how the region got to be a nest of insurgents in the first place. This is particularly worrying because being a hyperpower means our military is called on more and more often. Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. military has been deployed in Panama, Kuwait, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, Haiti and Somalia, to name only the most obvious destinations. This is not going to change anytime soon, regardless of who sits in the White House. Does America’s overwhelming power “make us the policemen of the world?” — as former Secretary of State Colin Powell once put it. “No,” he answered himself, “but guess where most of the world screams for when they want a cop or need a cop? They come to us.” This, more than anything else, is why foreign affairs matter: because we and the wider world depend on each other. Because globalization is a real, and growing, phenomenon, whether we like it or not.

This is not just a reference to Arab companies managing our ports or the sale of Big Macs in France. Consider the fact that we here in Vermont get one-third of our electricity from Canada; that there is a Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop on London’s Leicester Square, about two blocks from Piccadilly Circus; and, even stranger, that there is a café-bookshop in Amman, Jordan, that caffeinates its customers exclusively

Foreign affairs matter because, as the tagline for Syriana says, “Everything is connected.” And in a world where everything is connected, we citizens cannot hope to influence either the government or the corporate world if we remain ignorant of the larger stage on which they both play. Foreign affairs matter because corporations shape other people’s opinions of us as a society, and because our government, like it or not, speaks in our name. Foreign affairs matter because what we say and do here at home is watched more closely than we imagine in the rest of the world, and how the world reacts often determines what problems and challenges American society will face next. And finally, foreign affairs matter because knowing something about the outside world makes our version of “The Daily Show” even funnier. m

“I just made that this morning,” says Trish Denton, pointing to a dress hanging on a rack in a small room tucked in the back of Montpelier’s used-goods emporium the ReStore. Made of glittery gauze and faux silk, with a tight bodice, the princessy dress looks like a relic of the age of big hair and “Dynasty,” but it’s been slightly revamped. The skirt’s been sheared off a few inches from the bodice, which has been crisscrossed with jagged yellow and green stitching. “I’m totally into the Frankenstein stitch look,” says Denton. Her own look today is more playful: a silky green vintage dress with a printed petticoat, a black beret, purple tights and Black Spot sneakers. The 24-year-old single mom calls herself the “main organizer” — “director is a dirty word,” she says — of ClothingChange, a fledgling project aimed at changing the way people acquire their wardrobes. “Our mission is to use clothing as a tool for people to practice self-sufficiency, sustainability and personal change,” says Denton, who has devoted two years of labor and personal funding to the endeavor. Plans call for a garment-making cooperative; a “socially responsible capitalistic venture”; a “household department” that includes child-care swapping; and an environmental aspect: taking used “misfit garments” and making them sellable. The ClothingChange Recreation Center and Showroom launched two months ago. Today is the opening of the ShamRock show — “rocking men’s and women’s clothing inspired by Irish folk wear and the color green.” A cardboard rainbow plunges from

Denton asks people to “practice determining their own value” by setting prices on items they want. Then the bargaining begins. the ceiling into a pot of “gold” bottlecaps and other bric-à-brac. It’s the work of volunteers at the nearby Cardboard Technical Institute. A flyer offers customers free prints of photos showcasing them in their new finery. At a February exhibit of “Radical Lingerie and Romantic Datewear,” volunteers snapped photos of customers against a trompe l’oeil mural of an enormous bed. But the main event is the clothes. Scattered around the space, among unaltered used items, are some novel creations. A silk Jones New York skirt has been transformed into a cape, with the waistband forming a cowlneck, and armholes in the pockets. A slinky leatherette concoction has been accented with green gauze, creating a sprite’s tunic. They’re marked with tags that say “EK” — for creator Esther Krusewzski, Denton’s 19year-old “intern.” A girl who looks about high school age picks out a plaid shirt adorned with a stencil of a Lenin-esque guy with a beard. “How much would you like to pay for that?” Denton says. The young woman suggests $18. “Are you sure it’s worth that?” Denton asks. Though she plans eventually to incorporate as a nonprofit, Denton envisions ClothingChange not as a business but as “modeled after a diverse economy.” She’s a full-time Goddard College student, and her enthusiastic spiel sometimes recalls an academic presentation, as when she calls ClothingChange an “in-depth conceptual art piece” that will “educate by example.” There’s experience behind it, though. In her native Detroit, Denton organized events she called the Barter Bizarre. The idea, she says, was to revive the lost art of

bartering by setting up a “clothing swap on a larger sale.” “It’s unlike the Drop ’n’ Swap in that people actually have to interact,” she explains. “They have these intimate exchanges.” Similar swaps in Montpelier, now called the ClothingChange Exchange, provide raw material for the showroom. Even here, Denton asks people to “practice determining their own value” by setting prices on items they want. Then the bargaining begins. Denton sometimes has to “play hardball” with customers who don’t understand the difference between vintage and used clothing. “We’ll have dresses that I could sell on eBay for 200 bucks that I’ll let people have for 15 bucks,” she says, laughing. “We’re trying to really cater to the community economy here.” Proceeds are split 60/40 with the cooperative members who “remake” the clothes. Denton thinks of the revamped clothes as a form of “outsider art.” On a more practical level, she’s interested in reviving the hands-on “home economy” of sewing, once denigrated as women’s work. On March 18, ClothingChange will host a “Tie Exchange and DIY Tie Use Workshop” for people who want to recycle old men’s ties into, say, skirts. Past workshops have included a “Sewing Machine Support Group” for those who approach their appliances with trepidation. Although ClothingChange can now pay its own rent on the space in the ReStore, Denton makes clear that the collective needs volunteers in order to grow, especially artists who can produce “flyers, signs, sets.”

“People love to shop,” Denton acknowledges. “Clothing is one of those things that strongly defines who we are as a person. But,” she points out, “there’s so much used clothing around that’s usable still. It’s time that people stopped seeing secondhand clothing as second-rate.” If ClothingChange is the sartorial equivalent of an organic farming or gardening cooperative, Callie Smith’s boutique Envi is more like an upscale organic market — for folks who want to consume responsibly and are willing to pay a little extra to do so. Smith, who’s 24 and lives in Jericho, says she’s wanted to sell clothes since she was in elementary school. With fashionably ripped jeans, dangly earrings and a suggestion of sunburn, she looks like a student just off spring break, but she has given careful thought to every aspect of her business. After college at Tufts, Smith worked with a young woman who was opening a handbag boutique on Boston’s trendy Newbury Street. The experience the know-how to sell apparel. But she also wanted to make sure she was “buying from manufacturers with sound practices” — i.e., no sweat shops. As Smith researched common clothing materials, she found out that even 100 percent cotton isn’t as innocent as it sounds: “Cotton is one of the worst crops as far as pesticides go.” Smith did hours of “really obscure Google searches” for sources of clothing made from organic, sustainable materials. “In my mind, eco-friendly clothing was hemp clothes that were formless,” she admits. “I didn’t think stylish at all.”

The showroom of Envi shows that, happily, she was wrong. It’s a modest room in an old house at 35 West Main Street in Richmond, next door to John’s Shoe Shop North. A bathroom doubles as a dressing room. But none of the clothes look like Post comment cards commune chic from 1972. A mannequin wears a slender for over 600 Vermont tunic that feels wool-blend-ish restaurants and clubs but is actually made from bamand win prizes! boo — a sustainable crop, Smith says. “They’re calling it plant cashmere.” A soft, reversible bamboo wrap that looks like a cross between a boho shawl and a sweater has sold well, Smith says, in spite of its $100-plus price tag. There are sweatshirts made from hemp and tight tees of organic cotton and soy-cotton blends. “I won’t carry something just because it’s eco-friendly. I want it to be, first and foremost, stylish,” Smith says. Some of the most striking pieces in the store are “recycled vintage.” Every thrift shopper has had the experience of finding a 12/1/05 4:11:14 PM piece made of old velvet or cash- 1x5-7Ngeneric-rev.indd 1 mere so luxurious you just want to stroke it . . . except it’s the wrong size or style. The designers featured in Smith’s store take those too-good-to-waste clothes and snip them up into snug tweed jackets or cashmere sweaters that you can actually wear. It’s a more polished, market-driven version of the “retrofitted” clothes in ClothingChange’s showroom. Most of the clothing designers represented are based in New York, but many of the accessories lining Envi’s walls are Vermont creations. Smith points out “Amelia Pastiche” earrings by local designer Mia Adams, and woolly handbags crafted from old sweaters by a local woman who began making bags from her deceased husband’s sweaters, according to Smith. The “Flashbags” created by a Richmond designer feature bright, laminated images taken from vintage magazines. Envi — the name is a play on both “environment” and the phrase “green with envy” — is still finding its customer base. There are no employees yet, and Smith can only keep the shop open when she’s not at her other job, teaching Pilates in Burlington. But she thinks the clothing market is “following the same trend that food did” — toward organics. Smith cites the examples of the Canadian chain Roots, which now offers some organic-material clothing, and outdoor outfitter Patagonia, which gets its wool from a local company called Vermont Organic Fiber. Maybe it’s only a matter of time before The Gap starts offering a choice between organic cotton tees and conventional ones. For now, though, it’s nice to be reminded that being stylish doesn’t have to mean buying a new wardrobe every time hemlines zoom up or jeans flare. It could mean investing in some versatile, eco-friendly pieces — or simply, as Denton suggests, opening up your closet and “instead of saying, ‘I don’t have anything to wear!’ looking at it in a new way.” m

Night of the Living Salesmen Who knew shopping for a sweater could be so strange?

O

n a bitterly cold evening a couple of Tuesdays ago, I found myself in a large, plain building on an otherwise empty lot in Williston, surrounded by a crew of rugged young men in three-piece suits. Frank STORY Sinatra played over a sound system as the CASEY clean-cut posse peppered me with questions. REA The fact that you’re reading this is evidence I didn’t get clipped, “Sopranos”-style. IMAGE Nor was I drawn into any shadowy agency MATTHEW or cult. I was merely shopping for a sweater THORSEN at the newly opened Men’s Wearhouse in the big-box world that is Maple Tree Place. My girlfriend Brooke and I had already searched several Burlington shops for a crewneck sweater. Admittedly, I’m not much of a clothes hound. I prefer simple, classic stuff in muted colors: black, dark brown or charcoal gray. But sometimes I swear I’m the only guy around who doesn’t like racing stripes or ostentatious branding. By the fifth store we stopped in, I was in full rant mode. Brooke suggested some new suit store in Williston as a last resort. I’d never even heard of the Men’s Wearhouse. I

hardly wanted to keep shopping, but I needed a goddamn sweater and wasn’t ready to concede defeat. Men’s Wearhouse looks downright innocuous, if you disregard its ominously blacked-out windows. Upon arrival, we saw a well-dressed young gentleman smoking a cigarette in front of the door. Quickly extinguishing it, he escorted us inside. This seemed odd to me. What kind of wage-slave willingly cuts his smoke break short for a customer? Maybe he’s the only guy working, I thought. Wrong. There were nearly 10 employees inside, and not a single other customer. A few guys dressed in identical suits were enthusiastically tossing a Nerf ball back and forth. As we walked in, they practically fell over one another in a rush to assist us. “Did you guys come for the football game?” one of them asked, as his associates began circling. Brooke shot me an anxious glance. Maybe they’re just really bored, I thought, stifling an impulse to flee. It was 8 p.m., and it had probably been a slow day. Still, my adrenaline was flowing. I’d seen too many

horror movies about sunlightdespising bloodsuckers to feel entirely comfortable. My mind raced back to the blacked-out windows. Was this the retail-outlet version of The Lost Boys? “What’s your dress-shirt size?� one of them asked. “I honestly have no idea,� was my clipped reply. They seemed to find this amusing. Moving with uncanny rhythm, the salesmen pulled sweaters seemingly from nowhere. Forget about a “maybe� pile: As soon as I took a garment off, a platoon of folders tucked it back together and stashed it back on the shelves. To my surprise, I found one I liked, but I couldn’t decide on a color. “You can buy ’em both,� the alpha employee said with a wide grin. Part of me wondered if it was a suggestion or a command. Making a bit of fidgety small talk, I purchased the sweater and we headed for the door. I hadn’t even had a chance to put my coat back on when he dashed over to walk us out. For a second I thought he might accompany us to the car. “Thank you very much, and have a great night,� he exclaimed from the sidewalk.

seemed like a “soft� recruitment strategy. But try as I might, I couldn’t find a single piece of evidence linking Men’s Wearhouse to a specific spirituality. According to company writ, servant leadership is simply about choosing leaders who “enjoy helping others learn, achieve and grow as people.� Hey, that didn’t sound so bad. But what about the game of Nerf football we interrupted? Surely management doesn’t endorse goofing off. Actually, it turns out they do. The company “schedules time for play at every training meeting,� and supplies stores with Nerf balls, ping-pong paddles, putters and golf balls. Managers are even encouraged to “invite a store team out to unwind after a long workday.� Wonder who picks up the beer tab? At least they know they’re different. The website plainly states, “By building strong friendships in the workplace, we create a different feeling in our stores — one that customers pick up on.� I certainly did. My investigation didn’t stop there. The entry for George Zimmer at Wikipedia.com claims

made the Forbes Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list, which recognizes exemplary employers. “One of our primary goals is to create a really great work environment for people,� Speranza says. “Part of it is training and the opportunity to grow your career. But it’s also how you’re treated. We feel you can be professional at work, but still have a relaxed environment where you can be yourself.

Our business is really about building good relationships with our customers, and each other.� In an era of zero training costs and replaceable staff, Men’s Wearhouse has remarkably low turnover, even for entry-level positions. This could be because workers feel valued. Zimmer attempts to see each employee in person once a year, and the company fre-

My mind raced back to the blacked-out windows. Was this the retail-outlet version of The Lost Boys? “Is it just me, or was that fucking intense?� I asked Brooke as we sped away. “There was definitely a certain kind of energy in there,� she replied. I was already developing a few working theories. Maybe it was a Mafia front, or a retail extension of Scientology. Better check their website. Perusing http://www.menswear house.com provided more fodder for my imagination. Founded in 1973 by retailer George Zimmer, the company presents an official history that reads like a mercantile Pilgrim’s Progress. In it, tales of cigar-box cash registers and sheer determination are spun in dated, folksy prose. Elaborate theories on personal relations and inner development abound on the site. “At the Men’s Wearhouse we believe that unleashing the human potential within companies, organizations, communities and families is good for every one of us,� CEO Zimmer writes. “Our ‘outer’ relationships are driven by the quality of our ‘inner’ work environment. We all have a responsibility to contribute to the extended global society to which we all belong.� Pretty heady stuff. I was especially curious about “servant leadership,� a key company concept. It reminded me a bit of Promise Keepers, an organization of Christian men with a spookily fervent commitment to family and community. The MW policy of offering financial rewards for getting friends to apply for jobs

he’s a recovering alcoholic who supports the legalization of both marijuana and MDMA — street name Ecstasy — for therapeutic purposes. Although Wikipedia has taken heat for some glaringly incorrect entries, in this case the claims were verifiable. An article in the St. Petersburg Times states that “Zimmer and his family� directed $15,000 to an MDMA research organization. Legal-studies website FindLaw.com reports that Zimmer has donated money to medical marijuana initiatives. I was more surprised to learn of self-help guru Deepak Chopra’s 2004 appointment to the MW board of directors. At the time, Zimmer shrugged off industry puzzlement, stating, “This is not some New Age flighty business model with false nobility and no sustainable earnings.� A couple of days into my research, I received a personally signed thank-you card from the Williston store. This seemed strange, considering I had only purchased one item — marked down to $39. But the gesture inspired me to contact the company’s executive headquarters in Freemont, California, to see if my experience was typical. To my surprise, I was granted access to Dino Speranza, the 45year-old senior VP of store operations. When I told him about my encounter, Speranza explained that I’d probably happened upon a training session, which would account for the odd staff-to-customer ratio. Men’s Wearhouse recently

quently flies store managers to its California headquarters. There are more than 500 stores. “It’s a little bit of the reverse of the traditional boss-employee relationship,� Speranza relates. “We believe if you’re in a position of leadership and responsibility, that you’re not just there to be successful yourself, but to help the people you work with be successful as well.� It looks like they mean it: The company offers employees no-interest loans of up to $10,000 for unexpected expenses, as well as financial reimbursement for classes and workshops of personal or professional interest. I was beginning to feel a bit foolish. There was probably nothing sinister about the place at all. Anyone who knows me is aware of my obsession with cults and conspiracies; perhaps I’d just gotten carried away. To settle things once and for all, I headed back to the store for a Saturday afternoon browse. I really liked the black sweater I had purchased, even though it wasn’t a crewneck; maybe I could get one in brown. My second experience was entirely different. Far fewer employees were working and, while they were still helpful and friendly, I didn’t feel at all overwhelmed. Still, it probably helped that several other shoppers were in the store. Striking up a conversation with manager Rod Currier, I told him my fantastic tale. He seemed to think it was pretty funny. The best part? After I bought my sweater, I got to toss around a Nerf football. m

Less Is More Book review: Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping by Judith Levine

n case you wonder if the level of American consumption really matters, consider these statistics assembled by ecological economist Lester Brown. Given current rates of growth in the Chinese economy, by 2031 the 1.3 bilSTORY lion residents of that nation will be BILL MCKIBBEN about as rich as we are. If they then ate meat, milk and eggs in the same quantiNot Buying It: ties as we do, they’d consume 1352 My Year Without million tons of grain — equal to twoShopping thirds of the world’s entire 2004 grain by Judith Levine. harvest. They’d use 99 million barrels Free Press, 275 pages, $25. of oil a day, 20 million more than the entire world presently consumes. “If China’s coal-burning were to reach the current U.S. level of nearly two tons per person, the country would use 2.8 billion tons annually — more than the current world production of 2.5 billion tons. They’d use more steel than all the West combined.” Paper? At the present American rate, the Chinese would consume 303 million tons, roughly double today’s world production. Cars? They’d have 850 million on the road. And that’s just China; by 2031, India will have a higher population, and its economy is growing almost as fast. Then there’s the rest of the world. Even taking into account recycling, Brown warns, “If all the people on Earth used as much paper as the U.S.A. consumes, then in two years not a single tree would be left on the planet.” It’s no stretch, then, to say that Judith Levine’s account of her year of doing without unnecessary stuff is An Important Book. Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping is also fun, kicky and fun to read, especially for Vermonters who will recognize many of the names. Given that we live on a finite planet, consumption may be the issue we need to think about the most. But, given our devotion to consumer culture, it’s the one we usually think about the least. Levine and her partner Paul Cillo begin their exercise on New Year’s Day 2004 in the Hardwick home where they spend summers and winters. (Springs and falls are in Brooklyn.) They agree to shop for groceries, but nothing fancy: no processed or prepared foods except the most basic, bread. No restaurants. No movie or video rentals. It’s not, as Levine admits, a perfectly logical scheme, especially since they continue with ongoing house renovations and enlargements, expanding their home to include “a large living room and library, master bedroom, guest room, two offices, two baths, insulated porch/mudroom, wine cellar, and many, many built-in cabinets, shelves, and closets.” In fact, the difficulty of figuring out what actually qualifies as a necessity is one of the project’s leitmotifs: Do you actually need a Q-tip to clean your ears, or do you just want one? Is wine a necessity? Cillo, of Italian extraction, says yes. At times the whole process feels fake, Levine notes: The difference between buying bread, cheese and lettuce at the co-op and buying a cheese sandwich at the co-op is a little hard to fathom. But experiments such as this one — recounted in breezy, readable diary for-

I

mat — are really useful; they help us to understand how many unspoken assumptions shape our daily lives, and how much of our time is spent simply wanting. You could argue that Levine is unrepresentative of Americans in general — childless, political, not a WalMart shopper. But in a way she seems perfectly typical. Wherever she is, she takes on the prevailing consumption patterns. In New York she wants to dive into avant-garde film; in Hardwick, she wants to be a crosscountry skier. And, like good Americans of every class and place, she thinks of those desires in terms of buying things. She goes for a memorable 20-kilometer cross-country ski one February morning and, instead of really enjoying it, she spends her time thinking about how much better it would be if she had better boots, better gaiters, better bindings. I’m falling farther behind. From a distance I watch Grace’s muscular butt tighten with each strong kick. When I get my new boots and bindings and pants, I won’t be wobbling off my skis and stopping to shake off the clotted snow. I’ll get thinner and stronger, like Grace. What’s interesting, though, is that Levine’s friend Grace is on 20-year-old skis. She’s having a good time because she’s devoted much of her life to skiing, and become so good at it that the equipment and conditions don’t inter-

It’s no stretch to say that Judith Levine’s account of her year of doing without unnecessary stuff is An Important Book. fere with her flow. Immersion in a couple of what the Montana philosopher Albert Borgmann calls “focal activities” is one way around the consumption trap: Fill hours every day with the meditative pleasure of cross-country skiing, guitar-playing or gardening, and you’ll have fewer holes that need filling with stuff. Drill a couple of deep holes, not a thousand shallow ones. The really resonant lessons of Levine’s experiments, however, have less to do with developing an individual ethic of consumption than with developing a sense of community. For instance, she quickly discovers that the New York library system she suddenly must depend on has been systematically under-funded, to the point where no one is replacing stolen books and much of what she needs for her work is unavailable. In a world without libraries, or where libraries don’t work — that is, the world since Ronald Reagan convinced an American majority that private is good and public is bad — you’re just supposed to go to the bookstore instead. Of course, sometimes you should go to the bookstore, so that you can support writers, and books, like this one, and genuine community hubs such as Hardwick’s superlative Galaxy

Bookshop. But we badly need a public support system as well — for, as Levine points out in her last few pages, not just books but also health care, roads, education. All “the things and processes whose universal benefit exceeds the private interests of individuals and whose value, even if they cost a lot of money, exceeds that of the commodities that can be sold at a profit.” There’s a word for a system like this: Europe. Or maybe Canada. Places where there remains an emphasis on community life and a willingness to pay the taxes that support it. That means less money for private consumption — $10 or $15 thousand less per person per year, depending on how you measure it and which country you examine. But it also means (and Levine could have done more with this emerging research) higher levels of life satisfaction. We have more stuff, but we don’t have more happiness. We could switch our priorities, just as Levine did: In the end, it’s a matter of how you, or you collectively as a nation, define prosperity and poverty, abundance and scarcity — a question of what you . . . desire. This year, Paul’s and my household is a little like Denmark. Neither of us earned a lot, but we both feel prosperous. This is, I think, exactly the right

message, the one we need desperately to spread. The biggest question facing our century may be whether the Chinese or the Indians decide to model themselves on Western Europe or on America. Levine manages to explain in very gut terms what that choice is all about. Not that building community is easy, of course. Levine tells the sad tale of Hardwick wrestling with a cellphone tower, for instance, as a caution to wishful thinking. Still, it’s the job that must be done. My only real complaint with Levine’s book, in fact, is that she’s nearly nasty to other people who have been trying to figure out of some of the same problems. She smacks down everyone from callers into radio talk shows who complain about Christmas excess to Global Living Project founder and Radical Simplicity author Jim Merkel, who, recently hired as the first sustainability director of Dartmouth College, is trying to transform an entire, and important, institution. This is a cheap and easy way to establish your own cred, and a bad way to build community among the people who must fight this fight. But these are minor matters; on every point that really counts, Levine is funny and incisive. Her book could make a real difference. m

sound bites

BY CASEY REA

EAST SIDE STORY Not long ago a friend emailed me a link to an article about Big Apple indie-rockers Levy that appeared in the city’s Sup magazine in ’05. Led by ex-Vermonter James Levy, the group recently released its fulllength debut on the UK imprint One Little Indian. Although Levy (the fella) has been in the city for several years, his band is only starting to garner press in the U.S. In fact, the Sup interview was apparently their first. Yet, although there are reprints of several other articles on the band’s website — http://designedmemory.com/levy — the Sup piece is conspicuously absent. In it, frontman Levy explains the motivations behind his band’s debut, Rotten Love. Guarded throughout, he hints cryptically at a period of heartache and personal upheaval. I’d heard much of the tale as rumor, but it still made for interesting reading. As many are aware, the Lower East Side experienced a musical Renaissance at the start of the decade. The Strokes, with their needle-nosed riffs and prince-to-pauper fashion sense, led the charge. The band’s ascent to stardom put NYC back on the rock ’n’ roll map, but caused a fair amount of contention in the ’hood. At the time, Levy was playing solo gigs as part of the city’s anti-folk scene, which included renegade troubadours Kimya Dawson and Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches. He also dated Russian chanteuse Regina Spektor, now a hipster sensation in her own right. Things were going fine until mush-mouthed Strokes front man Julian Casablancas handpicked the songstress to join his band on a world tour. As reported in the Sup piece, Spektor subsequently dumped Levy for the more successful Casablancas. Within months of that blow, Levy’s best friend, musician Aaron Wilkinson, died of a heroin overdose. Interestingly, The Strokes’ sophomore disc, Room on Fire, is dedicated to Wilkinson. Levy’s pain is evident on the handful of tunes I’ve heard from Rotten Love. Each song has a lump-in-the-throat quality, with lyrics portraying a 24-year-old kid who’s just had the emotional wind completely knocked out of him. I was pretty good friends with Levy’s older brother back in the ’90s, and have kept an eye on the young songwriter’s career. Although I’m pleased to see that his band is beginning to take off, I wish it could’ve happened with less pain. The article is archived at http://www. supmag.com.

OUT OF THE CAGE Internationally lauded electro-acoustic composer Greg Davis has put together a very interesting concert series at the Firehouse Gallery on Church St. The Burlington-based musician presents “Another Side of Out: John Cage’s Text Pieces and Experimental Sounds From New England,” starting on Thursday, March 16. Cage, who died in 1992, is considered one

of the most significant composers of the modern era. His pioneering work allowed chance elements to shape, and in some instances direct, the music’s course. An early explorer of electronically manipulated sound, Cage was also a prolific visual artist and writer. Many of his essays challenge the very definition of music; his theories and methods continue to be explored by vanguard musicians such as Davis. The first show in the series promises to be stellar. In a reprise of last year’s terrific Radio Bean gig, Davis has once again invited his friend and collaborator Keith Fullerton-Whitman to join him. In addition to the far-out sounds, Davis will read from Cage’s Mureau, a text inspired by, among other things, the journals of Henry David Thoreau and Eastern oracle the I-Ching. Whitman recently scored high marks on the taste-making website PitchforkMedia.com for his latest release, Lisbon. A month or so ago, the site praised Davis for Paquet Surprise, his collaboration with French dronemeister Sebastian Roux. The latter release is already on my shortlist for best record of ’06. The concerts continue on March 23 with Burlington’s own experimental collective Nest Material. The final event takes place on April 20, with musicians to be announced. Look for my full-length feature on Davis in next week’s issue.

YOUR JAZZ WEEKEND Burlington’s Asian eatery Parima is serving two back-to-back nights of local jazz this weekend: The Matt Wright Group sauces it up on Friday, March 17 (that’s St. Patrick’s Day, kids), and pianist extraordinaire Joe Davidian presents a tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim the following evening. Vocalist Wright says his band’s set will deliver “spazz jazz, bebop, funk and blues.” Backed up by saxman Dave Grippo, bassist Robinson Morse, pianist Dan Skea and drummer Nick Aloi, Wright will tear through an evening’s worth of “obscure standards and an original or two.” Obscure standards? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Later on in April, Wright brings guitar whiz Nicolas Cassarino and drum hero Gabe Jarrett aboard for another round of performances. The musically flexible bassist John Rivers has been drafted to hold down the low end. “Needless to say, I’m pumped to get such quality locals,” Wright enthuses. According to Davidian, his GREG DAVIS upcoming Jobim concert will not feature “The Girl from Ipanema.” “Even though I love that song, it’s simply played too often,” Davidian says. Hmm, kind of like a bossa “Stairway to Heaven.” Joining Davidian at the event are vocalist Cathy Wakim, saxophonist Chris Peterman, aforementioned axeman Cassarino, bassist Anthony Santor, drummer P.J. Davidian and percussionist Bruce McKenzie. Order up a fruity something or other and pretend you’re in Brazil.

A CALL TO ARTISTS Attention local musicians: Big Heavy World wants you. The organization’s VT Jukebox Project is looking for music from local artists to place in musical kiosks at strategic locations throughout the Green Mountain’s interstate system. Log on to http://www.vmls.org for more information about the effort. All Vermont-based acts are invited to contribute. If you’re ready to spread your music to the Winnebago set, contact Jukebox Project Coordinator Chelsea Brasel at musicshop@bigheavyworld. net or 865-1140.

RETURN TO FORM Vermont jazz hero James Harvey fell off JAMES HARVEY the local radar last year, when he moved to Albany to work in ex-Burlington bar owner Jack O’Brien’s new watering hole, not coincidentally called Red Square. Now the multi-instrumentalist/ composer is back in town and picking up pretty much where he left off. “I’m going to be making an appearance with my piano trio for the first time in around three years,” Harvey says of his upcoming Monkey House gig on Saturday, March 18. The band, which features Harvey on keys, Gabe Jarrett on drums and John Rivers on bass, will be familiar to patrons of Burlington’s Red Square, where they once held court. Harvey is looking forward to not just his trio gig, but also semiregular Tuesday sets at Nectar’s. “I didn’t really get a chance to do any playing in Albany; I was working too much,” he explains. “At Nectar’s I’ll be playing mainly drums. I’ve got Rivers, Brian McNamara on sax and Nicolas Cassarino on guitar. But we’re expecting guests, as well. I’ll have my keyboard there in case Gabe shows up.”

DEPT. OF SYNESTHESIA This year’s Green Mountain Film Festival is about to kick off in Montpelier, and organizers have lined up a slew of guest speakers just for the occasion. I won’t list ’em all here, but http://www.focuson film.net lays it out for you. So what does this have to do with music? Well, if you’ve ever seen a film, you’ll recognize audio’s importance in upping the impact of onscreen images. I mean, what would Jaws be without its ominous motif? A big ’ol rubber-shark flick, that’s what. To further elucidate this point, Boston-based music critic Lloyd Schwartz discusses “Music and the Movies” at the festival’s March 17 opening. Schwartz, a Pulitzer Prize-winning commentator on National Public Radio’s “Fresh Air” program, will accompany his analysis with film excerpts. I recently had the misfortune to catch Barbra Streisand’s remake of A Star Is Born on cable, so I hope Schwartz will skip that one.

reviewthis BILLY CALDWELL, OUT OF MY LEAGUE

DANA COOPER, MADE OF MUD (Self-released, CD) Award-winning singer-songwriter Dana Cooper sounds like he’s been in the business forever, and no wonder — his first recording was released on Elektra way back in 1973. And Cooper is no stranger to accolades: His 1997 Compass Records CD Miracle Mile was nominated for a Nashville Music Award, and was listed in Performing Songwriter Magazine’s top 12 DIY recordings. Cooper’s latest, Made of Mud, features 10 original compositions. Although the self-produced album sounds slick, the sonic sparkle never detracts from the music or lyrics. MUD gives several nods to the “smart” pop music of the 1970s. With a rhythmic acoustic guitar style and a chameleon voice, Cooper reminds me of both Glen Frey and John David Souther in their prime. Opener “Step Into the Light,” is an uptempo political pop number featuring a John Hiatt-esque yodel. “Sit This One Out” and “Comic Tragedy” both lament the modern quest for money and power. But not all the tunes are political. Cooper’s voice and musical sensibility are well suited to romantic numbers as well. “Bird on the Wing” is a country-flavored love song in 3/4 time, while “Right Out Loud” is a classic ballad with anthemic qualities. The only track not penned by Cooper is a driving acoustic cover of Woody Guthrie’s “Pretty Boy Floyd.” His version of the classic is so good I wanted to hear more songs like it. Cooper’s own “Death Is a Door” fit the bill nicely; the song has all the markings of a high ’n’ lonesome, old-time chestnut. You can hear Cooper make live Mud on Wednesday, March 29, at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford.

(Self-released, CD) The back cover of Billy Caldwell’s latest disc, Out of My League, states, “No singer-songwriters were harmed in the making of this recording.” Listening to the disc, it’s easy to see why: The tunes, while emotionally sincere, lack even the slightest hint of danger. A familiar face at cafés and coffee shops throughout Vermont, Caldwell recently scored a semi-recurring gig at Nectar’s in Burlington. His warm, throaty vocals and unassuming guitar style can be heard in early evening acoustic sets that go well with an after-work lager. Caldwell’s lyrics won’t win him a Grammy, but they’re refreshingly unpretentious. Opener “Out of My League” commits the nigh-unpardonable sin of equating romance with baseball. “I know my batting average is pretty bad it’s true / swingin’ and missin’ ’til I wind up hitting on you.” Yikes. Still, his earnest delivery transforms such cringe-worthy expressions into a kind of self-effacing likeability. “Evangeline’s Trees” features lilting fiddle that weaves in and around a gentle acoustic waltz. Its tale of love gone wrong is timeless; the tune could have been penned in any number of eras on a few different continents. Unfussy and direct, it eschews flashy wordplay in favor of a tender solicitude. This approach is consistent on the rest of the disc, and might even be called a style. A martial snare shuffle and sturdy chord progression kick off the Celtic-tinged “Dissatisfaction.” “I’ve got nothing to show for the money I’ve made / I start laughing when I want to cry,” Caldwell sings in a brokenhearted yet defiant tone. “Montana” lightens the mood with a breezy arrangement and playful vocal delivery. “What you doin’ there in Montana / When you could be lyin’ here with me?” Caldwell asks of a preoccupied paramour. The song’s easy cadence and engaging melodies make a compelling case for his sweetheart’s swift return. The disc wraps up with a piano-driven hymn, “Tend the Fire.” In it, Caldwell compels listeners to honor their loved ones. The song’s quasi-religious temperament is tedious, but its basic message is on the money: Life is short; don’t take shit for granted. Out of My League no doubt comes from Caldwell’s heart, but it’s difficult to sustain interest in tunes as conventional as those found here. Modesty is well and good, but he could benefit from a bit more bluster. You can egg him on at Nectar’s on Wednesday, March 15.

A New Dawn

W EXHIBIT “Meeting the Dawn: First Nation Art from the Northeastern Woodlands,” and paintings by N. Scott Momaday, from the Kiowa Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. Helen Day Art Center, Stowe. Through April 5.

ARTWORK “The Colombian Triad” by N. Scott Momaday

PHOTO Marc Awodey

hen Fauvism, Die Brücke and other post-Impressionist European art movements began to emulate “primitivism” 100 years ago, they completely overlooked the art of North America’s first nations of indigenous peoples. Native American art continues to be a regularly overlooked cultural resource. That’s one reason the present Helen Day Art Center show in Stowe is important: It strives to redress the oversight. Another is that “Meeting the Dawn: First Nation Art from the Northeastern Woodlands” is a topnotch exhibition, juxtaposing traditional artistic forms with contemporary sensibilities. Samples of the quintessentially traditional art of basketry provide one such juxtaposition. Three elegant baskets by Abenaki craftsman Jesse Larocque, built with black ash that’s been hand-pounded, split and shaved, exemplify refined beauty. Such understated elegance has been intrinsic to woodlands basketry since time immemorial; later it was a vital influence on Shaker baskets. Judy Dow’s “Recycled Baskets,” on the other hand, are whimsically decorative and brashly modern. Her baskets are woven from colorful wires stripped out of telephones, fuzzy pipe cleaners and brightly hued yarn. Dow is of Western Abenaki lineage. Robert Tannahill’s artist statement confesses, “The Mohawk traditions have been lost to my family history.” Tannahill’s reinterpretations of Mohawk “False Face” masks into small totemic sculptures in the round are more personal than traditional. The semi-hollow, cylindrical faces are carved from polished plum, black walnut and spruce woods. Blown-glass interiors show through holes as eyes and mouths, and the masks are held together with copper wire.

Two triptychs in the exhibition do not have specific woodlands origins. “Andro&Gyne Triptych” by Christine Sioui of the Wendant (Huron) Abenaki has cross-cultural content: Its title refers to the Greek words for male and female. Sioui combined the nouns into “Andro&Gyne” as a label for her playful, textile portrayals of the androgynous, flute-playing deity Kokopelli, found in Anasazi rock art from the American Southwest. (Coincidentally, Kokopelli appears on the label of Vermont-brewed Rock Art beer.) Sioui’s three appliqué-encrusted Kokopelli images are individually titled and differentiated by color harmonies. Left to right are: “Courtship”

anniversary of Columbus’ voyage to the New World. Its canvasses, individually titled “Palos,” “Admiral of the Sea” and “San Salvador,” each represent a distinct phase in the epic voyage. Ironically, Momaday’s figuration seems to have been influenced more by German Expressionist Emil Nolde than by Nolde’s distant Kiowan contemporary, the artist Silver Horn. Momaday’s five figures in shallow, dark, yet ethereal abstract spaces are iconographic actors, rather than specific individuals shaping events. Of “San Salvador” — a painting of two figures that represents the landing of Columbus — Momaday wrote: “The scene is to me both ominous and prophetic, symbolic of the

Momaday’s five figures in shallow, dark, yet ethereal abstract spaces are iconographic actors, rather than specific individuals shaping events. in gold and green; “Wedding Dance” in red; and the “Birth of Andro Junior and Gyne Junior, or the division of the genders,” portraying Kokopelli returning to the blackness of a universe studded with planets. The second triptych, “The Colombian Triad” by N. Scott Momaday, is a monumental masterpiece. Momaday is a Pulitzer Prizewinning author and Guggenheim fellow who originally hails from the Kiowa Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. His tribe has a particularly strong visual-arts heritage, which includes pictorial calendars. Momaday’s roughly 12-foot-long “Triad” was painted on the 500th

domination of the Europeans over the indigenous peoples who greeted them . . .” When Momaday’s canvasses are contextualized as contemporary descendants of richly symbolic Kiowan chronicles, their debt to Silver Horn and other ledger artists of the early reservation era is thrown into sharp focus. AbenakiNation.org states that the ancient names of the homeland of the Western Abenaki were “Ndakinna [Our Land] and Wabanaki [Dawn Land] in Vermont, New Hampshire and Southern Quebec.” The Helen Day Art Center’s “Meeting the Dawn” exhibit sheds new light on our common homeland in 21st-century Vermont. m

Mild Abandon

“Your problems may be a result of the earwigs that are battling for control of your frontal lobe, but we’d like to run a few more tests.”

the straight dope

by CECIL ADAMS

illustration: slug signorino

all worthwhile human knowledge

Dear Cecil, When I’m reading novels of, say, the antebellum South and there’s a guy who goes around on a cart selling blocks of ice, how the heck did he get it? I mean, they didn’t have the fridge to rely on. Did they go way up north and cut blocks of ice and pack it in straw for the summer, or was there a way to manufacture ice at that time? I can’t figure this one out and have nowhere else to turn. Please help. Terwiliger Paige, via email Don’t despair, Terwiliger. The ice business, like carburetor rebuilding or vinyl record manufacture, is one of those vanished (or mostly vanished) enterprises that baffles later generations. If you think selling ice is nutty, ask some old engineering geek what it was like using a slide rule. To answer your question, yes, they cut ice up north in winter and packed it away for sale in the summer. You might guess that ice harvesting, as it was called, was an ancient trade. Not really. While stories of hauling snow down from the mountains for summer cooling date back to Roman times, the widespread practice of chilling food to preserve it, and thus the need for a reliable source of cold, is less than two centuries old. The man credited with creating the ice business and ushering in the era of fresh foods is Frederic Tudor, described by his biographer Gavin Weightman (The Frozen-Water Trade, 2003) as “a diminutive, pig-headed Bostonian.” Tudor was one of your classic when-life-handsyou-lemons-make-lemonade kind of guys. While his fellow New Englanders waited out the long winters huddled around the stove, Tudor beheld the frozen landscape and thought: There’s money in that ice. In 1806 he made his first shipment of ice cut from a frozen Massachusetts pond. His initial market wasn’t the American South, though, but the West Indies, which had torrid summers and ports served by ships needing paying cargo on the trip south. The first voyage was a fiasco, Tudor having neglected to consider

(among other oversights) how prospective customers would store the ice once they got it. Undaunted, he toiled for years building up the market (two smart moves: selling customers insulated “ice boxes” and promoting ice-cold drinks), enduring ridicule, financial hardship and a nervous breakdown. One critical advance came in 1825, when his associate Nathaniel Wyeth invented the horse-drawn ice plow, whose twin blades set roughly 20 inches apart made it possible to score a frozen lake into a checkerboard pattern and harvest ice on an industrial basis. Tudor built up a thriving business in Havana, Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans, and in 1833 profitably shipped ice around the Cape of Good Hope to Calcutta. The industry now firmly established, Tudor was celebrated as the Ice King. Ice-harvesting technology was pretty basic. What kept harvested ice frozen was its sheer bulk: The more that could be tightly packed together, the longer it would stay cold. (Although the principles of mechanical refrigeration were generally understood in Ben Franklin’s day, practical application was decades away.) Icehouses, where stock could be stored year-round, had double outer walls separated by an insulator such as sawdust. An opening at the top vented the latent heat released by melting; water drained at the bottom lest it hasten thawing. Even so, the melt loss was huge — Wyeth guessed that in the early days 90 percent of the ice harvest disappeared before it could be sold. Better transportation, notably railroads, reduced losses, but even as of 1879, when the annual harvest was upward of 8 million tons, about 3 million turned to water before it could reach market. Weather was another concern — an unseasonably warm winter could lead to an “ice famine” the following summer. Despite these problems, ice revolutionized the way Americans ate and drank and eventually the way they did business. Tudor and his imitators initially made their money in the steamy south, but soon everybody wanted the stuff. Ice cream and cold beer became summertime staples. A dependable ice supply made it possible to deliver fresh meat, seafood, dairy products and produce to distant markets and keep it safe from spoilage in home iceboxes. Fruit growers and meat packers capable of shipping refrigerated products worldwide became huge multinational corporations. Ice harvesting eventually became the victim of its own success. Industrialists grew impatient with the unpredictability of natural ice (one problem: water pollution made it tougher to find suitable supplies), and by World War I had largely switched to mechanical methods both to make ice and refrigerate shipments. Home delivery of ice continued for a long time — in the 1920s apartment buildings were still constructed with ice doors opening into each kitchen. In the ’30s, though, electric refrigerators replaced iceboxes in most city households. Some nonelectrified rural areas relied on ice deliveries until the ’50s, but eventually what had always been a faintly comical business melted away without a trace. CECIL ADAMS

PREVIEWS

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada HHHH

V BODY GUARD Jones sees a fallen friend to his home in Mexico and brings the man who killed him along for the ride.

olcano, Double Jeopardy, The Hunted, Man of the House. Little about Tommy Lee Jones’ recent contribution to American cinema offered reason to believe he was about to appear in a great film, much less direct and star in one. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada earned Jones best-actor honors at Cannes, as well as a best-writer award for Guillermo (21 Grams) Arriaga. In any other year, the film would have attracted Oscar attention as well. Jones plays a cattle rancher who runs an operation just outside a Texas border town so small, dull and dirt-poor that it’s almost not there. As the movie opens, the local sheriff (Dwight Yoakam) has just informed him that an illegal Mexican immigrant (Julio Cedillo) he hired and befriended has been found shot and buried in the desert. In un-Western fashion, Jones reacts by shutting down. For days he sits in his cabin alone, tears filling his eyes, the desire for revenge filling the rest of him. As is the way with films written by Arriaga, The Three Burials moves back and forth between the present and recent past. Interwoven with the scenes of Estrada’s body being found are scenes involving a Border Patrol agent (Barry Pepper) who has recently relocated to the desolate area. His character seems strangely at home in all this emptiness. He leaves his young wife alone in a sparsely furnished trailer all day while he flips through pornographic magazines in the barren countryside between town and border. He is unnecessarily cruel when making arrests, and too quick to pull the trigger one day when he hears shots being fired in the distance. The agent crouches behind a rock, spots a darkskinned figure with his scope, and sends a bullet into his chest before it becomes clear the man was only trying to scare an animal away from his goats. Melissa Leo costars as a waitress in the local restaurant. She’s married to the owner, but is on intimate terms with both Yoakam and Jones. That’s how boring life is in Van Horn: Her husband, the dive’s cook, turns a blind eye to her behavior because he apparently understands there’s virtually nothing else for her to do. The alternative would be for her to leave, and he loves her too much to let that happen. She overhears a Border Patrol officer discussing the shooting with the sheriff and drives out to Jones’ place to give him the name of the agent responsible. It’s a powerful moment with undertones of a love scene. You can see it in Jones’ eyes.

She has given much to this man over the years, but nothing to compare with this. The town’s police and the border force comprise an old boy’s club and, when confronted by Jones, Yoakam makes it clear he’s unlikely to take action against the agent, who claims he fired at Estrada in self-defense. As a result, Jones takes matters into his own hands. He stakes out Pepper’s home, waits until after dark, then forces his way in and takes him prisoner. Shackled in his own handcuffs, Pepper is ordered to dig up the body of the man he shot and is then taken on an odd tour. Jones brings the agent to Estrada’s home, where he has him put on his clothes, sit at his table, and drink from his cup. At this point, it begins to hit you this is not a run-of-the-mill revengefest. Jones clearly means to teach his prisoner a lesson. But does that mean he plans to kill him? The rancher promised his friend — who had lived in terror of the Border Patrol — that should anything happen to him he would return his body to his wife and children in the Mexican village where he was raised. The balance of the picture chronicles the fulfillment of that promise. Talk about a long, strange trip. Jones takes the audience on a journey through landscapes of rock and of the spirit; in places it evokes the work of John Huston, Clint Eastwood and Sam Peckinpah, but the film also has moments of black humor and poetry unique to Jones’ sensibility and vision. How many filmmakers could make setting a dead man’s head on fire or filling his corpse with antifreeze look like acts of loyalty and love? Arriaga’s dialogue packs a powerful tumbleweed punch. Jones’ work behind the camera equals his work in front of it. The cinematography by Chris Menges and score by Marco Beltrami are exquisite, and every member of the cast creates a marvelous character with amazing economy. In 10 minutes of screen time, former Band drummer Levon Helm conjures a spectral figure, living blind and alone in the desert, that no one who sees this film will soon forget. Where have the years gone? The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is about hard men and women who have it hard. It’s a story about how a death can salvage a life, and the ways the toughest sumbitches can be moved to act by the most tender of impulses.

SEVEN DAYS RALPH AND CAROLINE STEINER

flick chick

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Reel Nasty cerns Sister Diana Ortiz, a young nun and literacy teacher in Guatemala who was interrogated, tortured and repeatedly raped by soldiers. With more than 100 cigarette burns on her back, she was then lowered into a pit full of women and children, some still alive. The Guatemalan general ultimately found guilty of this crime never went to jail. Ortiz says the U.S., which keeps his dossier classified, “has blood on its own hands.” Father Roy Bourgeois launched the Georgia protests in 1990, one year after a military death squad in El Salvador assassinated six progressive Jesuit priests. Turns out 19 of the 26 murderers had graduated from the Georgia school. A 1996 Freedom of Information lawsuit forced the Pentagon to release a WHISC training manual that detailed torture techniques. On camera, Fort Benning’s Major General John LeMoyne claims the booklet was never actually used for class instruction. Although WHISC’s educational mission is counter-insurgency operations, Uruguayan poet Eduardo Galeano points out that torturers invariably target “the ones who think, the ones who doubt, the ones who say no.” Dartmouth alum Ralph Steiner was a pioneering photographer and filmmaker who lived in Thetford for two decades, until his death in 1986. He

shot 10 of his own docs and collaborated on another four, including classics such as The Plow That Broke the Plains (1936) and The City (1939). Some of Steiner’s oeuvre is now spotlighted in “Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film 1894-1941,” a box set of seven DVDs with segments from more than 160 experimental motion pictures. Film Comment magazine describes these works as “fantastically obscure, astonishingly beautiful and historically significant.” New Hampshire archivist Bruce Posner’s anthology encompasses almost 19 hours of footage, as well as observations from a range of experts. He’ll show clips from his project and talk about the genre on March 22, 6:30 p.m., at Burlington College. “There are even sequences from Busby Berkeley musicals and a few of Orson Welles’ earliest efforts in the mix,” notes Barry Snyder, who heads the college’s film studies department. “It’s a very eclectic and adventurous selection.” Global anti-Semitism has been on the rise recently, but the prejudice has

roots in antiquity. “It’s both an old story and a new story,” muses Michael Schaal, chair of the Interfaith/Intercultural Committee at Ohavi Zedek. He’s bringing a documentary on the topic, Protocols of Zion, to the Burlington synagogue at 2 p.m. this Sunday, with a panel discussion to follow. The New York-based director, Marc Levin, decided to examine this provocative subject after an Egyptian cab driver asserted to him that Jews were warned to flee the World Center prior to the 9/11 attacks. The cabbie cited a 19thcentury tract that reveals a Jewish conspiracy for world domination: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, long proven to be a fake, was championed by the likes of Adolph Hitler and automobile magnate Henry Ford. Levin seeks a range of opinions by surveying black extremists, Aryan Nation skinheads, Holocaust survivors and deniers, angry Muslims and Kabbalah-minded rabbis, among others. Bigots are a nasty bunch, but their idiocy is most evident in Protocols when someone phoning a radio talk show calls the Italian Catholic former mayor of New York “Jew-liani.” 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.

ASHTON is to Demi as Tim is to Susan, only more so. Mae West required her partners to be extra FIRM, not al dente. ELMER is not high on the list of baby names these days. Annie OAKLEY’S Girl is a milestone of lesbian fiction. By the way, whatever happened to director Brian de PALMA? Coming to a boil, my TEAKETTLE wails like a banshee. The Daily Planet is a far cry from PLANET Hollywood. BALSAMIC vinegar adds a perky accent to broccoli and spinach. Sadly, apathy toward ELDERS is more common than respect. Harriet BEECHER Stowe never meant “Uncle Tom” to be pejorative. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS A MALLET. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Some grow in Brooklyn.

T

orture is often in the news these days, what with Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. But the idea of inflicting pain to punish or coerce is alleged to have a long domestic history at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHISC), where soldiers from throughout Latin America are trained. This controversial U.S. Army facility at Georgia’s Fort Benning is the focus of Hidden in Plain Sight, screening on March 20 at St. Michael’s College. WHISC, formerly called School of the Americas, is where Burlington activist Robin Lloyd was among three dozen demonstrators arrested in November for civil disobedience. They were part of an annual protest that drew an estimated 18,000 people. Convicted at a January 30 trial, she’ll begin serving her three-month sentence on April 11 at a federal minimum-security prison in Connecticut. “When governments torture people, it’s state-sponsored terror,” Lloyd suggests. The free 7 p.m. event, presented at the McCarthy Arts Center by the Vermont International Film Festival, will include a panel discussion. The documentary, directed by John H. Smihula and narrated by Martin Sheen, offers a wrenching account of how our government’s clandestine policies devastate Third World people. The film’s most chilling tale con-

They can’t all be classics. In fact, what we’ve got for you this week are scenes from four pictures that barely even registered in the public consciousness and did so-so business at best. They came and went faster than you can say “straight to video.” Your job is to convince us they are gone but not forgotten.

MAGICAL SURREALISM Folksinger, composer and poet Atahualpa Yupanqui was to Argentina what Edith Piaf was to France — the voice of a country. Born in 1908 with a four-part Spanish name, the gifted guitarist adopted his stage handle in honor of two legendary Incan kings. He left Argentina after his Communist-party connections prompted government censorship. Choreographer and theater artist Mabel Dai Chee Chang uses Yupanqui’s life as a lens in her one-woman dance performance Vientos Rojos (Red Winds). An Argentine of Chinese ancestry, Chang relies on just a gaucho-style poncho and a hat to craft her moving commentary on cultural identity. Fittingly, her efforts are aided by folk-music accompaniment.

scene@EMBROIDERERS’ GUILD FAITH UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, SOUTH BURLINGTON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 9:30 A.M. Subversive embroidery might be all the rage among DIY hipsters — the folks behind http://www.subversivecrossstitch.com offer patterns for wall hangings with slogans such as “Bite Me,” or “Babies Suck” — but that trend hasn’t reached the ladies at the Green Mountain Chapter of the Embroiderers’ Guild. Some of the group’s 22 members travel from as far as New Hampshire for the monthly meetings, where they learn new stitches, have tea and attend to club business. The chapter is planning the Guild’s 2007 national seminar — “Needles by the Lake.” They’ve booked the Wyndham Hotel in Burlington. Thirteen mostly gray-haired women showed up for the March meeting, nearly all of them sporting colorful, hand-sewn nametags. The framed items they’d brought to display featured seashells, chickadees and the occasional inspirational phrase. For member Jeanmarie Copeland, the time-consuming domestic art is a form of meditation. The owner of stitching boutique Jenny June Fancy Work in Randolph is a prolific embroiderer. She gives away most of her creations, sometimes to local museums. “My family is just going to ditch it when I die,” she said. “If I give it to a museum, they’ll take care of it.” Copeland was teaching today’s seminar, on a pattern for a purple hedgehog sitting atop a log. After handing out kits for completing the project, she explained how to produce the leaves jutting out from the fabric, an effect known as “stumpwork.” When she told the group to start with a “lady’s length” of thread, someone asked, “What’s that?” “Just long enough,” Copeland answered, “so that when you’re sitting on your couch next to your gentleman friend . . .” “Or your gentleman dog,” one woman interrupted. “Or your dog, or your bisexual friend, or whatever,” Copeland continued, “you don’t whack them in the face.” As she spoke, the ladies worked. After several minutes, Copeland checked their progress. They were having a hard time. When Copeland showed them her sample leaf, one woman groaned, “I did more than that.” “I started too high up,” grumbled another. 3/13/06 4:30:49 PM“I’m going to be working on this until July,” A third 2x1-citymarket031506.pdf member sighed as she removed her stitches. she said. 1x1-TBarlow011806 CATHY RESMER

Preservation Burlington’s Wednesday Nights at the Forum

Twenty years ago, the call of a common loon was rare in Vermont. Today, loons are much more common thanks to contributions to the Nongame Wildlife Fund. By donating to the Nongame Wildlife Fund on line 29A of your Vermont income tax return you can help protect and restore Vermont’s threatened and endangered wildlife, like bald eagles and grasshopper sparrows. Look for the loon on line 29A of your Vermont income tax return and please remember to donate. 4x2-ClearBearing022206

THE NAKED TRUTH

In the 1970s and ’80s, feminists rejected pornography as exploitative and wrong, whatever the context, and many women still feel that way. But what if a bunch of girlfriends got behind the camera? Fast-forward to 2003, when the new-feminist filmmakers of the East Vancouver Porn Collective documented their local feminist-pornography co-op in a quest to find egalitarian erotica. Since no such titillating troupe existed, the straight and gay female friends created their own. The result is Made in Secret, a sex-positive film that shows how the group of cuddly, creative types managed to generate positive DIY porn propaganda, in the context of good government. As the collective puts it, “This is what democracy looks like naked.�

FRENCH CONNECTION

Once a year on March 21, some 170 million French speakers around the world celebrate International Francophone Day, a tribute to the language and the diverse cultures it has helped to shape. And how better to honor North America’s French-Canadian culture than with a concert of Québécois music? The Montréal-based power trio Genticorum steps up with mirthful house-dance zippers such as “Les Parties de Gregoire” and captivatingly crooked traditional tunes. Known for scavenging seldom-heard gems and polishing them up, the rakish threesome blends vocals, guitar and electric bass with feet, flute and fiddle. Genticorum was recently nominated for a 2006 JUNO Award — the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy — for Best Roots and Traditional Group. Vive la fête!

FUEL DUEL

Unlike gasoline, non-polluting biodiesel doesn’t need to be drilled or mined — it can be manufactured on the go with restaurants’ filtered fryo-lator grease. The “Grease Not Gas” tour takes this message cross-country in an RV powered only by/on veggie oil and promoted by Snowboarder magazine. Art meets eco-activism at a 47Sanctuary Gallery pit stop, complete with a ’board meeting for fans of the touring riders and a live poster-making demo at Iskra, the gallery’s in-house screen-printing co-op. Sales of limited-edition T-shirts, with graphics donated by 10 artists from Saelee Oh to Andy Jenkins, support both the tour and the print studio. Canadian artist Julian Garner paints a mural to live jams by DJ Misa, supplemented by libations, snacks and skateboarding for all.

Searching for a pot o’ gold this St. Patrick’s Day? You need look no further than S.D. Ireland’s bright yellow cement trucks and their rotating drums. The company’s parade of 30 rigs helps raise funds for cancer research as leprechaun-like drivers queue through downtown Burlington and Winooski, impishly tooting their horns. Other shamrock-related fare: McGillicuddy’s Montpelier street party, talks about Emerald-Isle golfing and Burlington’s own Civil War-era Irish rebel, more than one corned-beef-and-cabbage feast, and a citywide ceilidh session, which closes the Burlington Irish Heritage Festival on a musical note. Oh, and don’t forget to take in Irish-American music’s laurel-winning Cherish the Ladies at their Friday night show.

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

MARCH 16-22

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your horoscope this week comes to you courtesy of the ancient Chinese book of oracles, the I Ching, translated by Richard Wilhelm. The title of your reading is “Liberation.” Here’s the heart of it: “In times of standstill it will happen that inferior people attach themselves to you and even seem to grow indispensable. But when the time of deliverance draws near, with its call to action, you must free yourself from such chance acquaintances with whom you have no inner connections. For otherwise the friends who share your views, on whom you could rely and together with whom you could accomplish great things, mistrust you and stay away.”

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): I predict that animals will be especially attracted to you in the coming days. The light of the sun will seem to possess an uncanny fluidity and sparkle. You may experience vivid fantasies like seeing a talking cat in a tree or hearing advice coming from a soap dispenser. Strangers may gaze at you for no apparent reason, and even your friends will have unusual feelings for you. You may be reunited with precious memories that have been lost to you for a long time. In the consciousness industry, we call this natural magic time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I am a fugitive from the law of averages,” writes Sage Price, one of my Gemini readers. “I swore a long time ago that I would never be taken alive by anything that was average, commonplace, standard, or ordinary.” His attitude is especially recommended for you right now. In order to harvest the potential rewards the cosmos has prepared for you, you’ve got to push to excel; you’ve got to cultivate a lust to be unique; you’ve even got to be willing to risk making other people envious of you. One of the worst sins you could commit would be half-assed mediocrity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Siam’s King Mongut had a harem of 9000 women. On his deathbed, however, before succumbing to the ravages of syphilis, he confessed that he was truly

in love with only 700 of his lovers — less than 8 percent of the total. Why he didn’t concentrate on that 8 percent and forget the rest we’ll never know. Don’t make a similar mistake in the coming months, Cancerian. You will have the chance to indulge in a great variety of pleasurable adventures, but only a fraction will have the potential of nourishing your soul.

your relationships, but only if you lose every ounce of self-pity and refuse to blame anyone for your sorrows. I also foresee the possibility of you healing 55 percent of one of your old wounds, but only if you stretch yourself to learn a new lesson from the original trauma.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): What’s the best way

years ago, executives at a major record company signed my band to their label. They loved us. We were the next big thing. Or at least that’s what they told us up until the moment when they demanded that we change the titles and lyrics to some of our songs. They were afraid that the cigarette company Philip Morris would sue us for our song “Marlboro Man Jr.” and that Kmart would sue us for our song “Kmart Tribal Ballet.” We agreed to make the changes only because we had no choice: If we refused, our music would have never been heard. The company owned the rights to it. Let this serve as an example of what not to do in the coming weeks, Scorpio. Do all the research and strategic long-range thinking necessary to avoid getting into a position where people you don’t know very well control your fate.

to defeat a dragon? Some fairy tales propose the use of brute force, while others suggest that the protection of a magical amulet is preferable. Still other myths say the optimum strategy is to use stealth to avoid the dragon completely, though that usually means living in constant fear of the beast. From what I can tell, Leo, your future happiness will be best served if you use none of the above, but instead employ one of the two littleknown methods of dragon-taming: either ask it sly riddles to confuse it or else pacify it through the entertaining power of your songs and dances.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “We have art so that we may not die of reality,” said Friedrich Nietzsche. While I’m sure you won’t literally be killed off by reality this week, it could bore you half to death — unless you aggressively subject yourself to massive amounts of really fine art. I’m not just talking about listening to formulaic pop music or getting a glimpse of the “Mona Lisa” on an ad for the upcoming film The Da Vinci Code. I’m referring to intensive exposure to inspired painting, sculpture, music, architecture, dance, and literature — sublime forms of creative expression that you may have to work hard to find.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): To be of real service to you, I have to do more than be simplistically optimistic. It’s important for me to be your cheerleader, counterbalancing the negative reinforcement that so often comes your way, but it would be irresponsible of me to inflate you with false hopes. This week, for instance, I have to report that there’s a 65 percent chance of you achieving a major breakthrough in at least one of

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A few

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s a good time to reconnect with your childhood memories — especially the good ones that made your heart sing. You will derive great practical benefits from remembering specific scenes that embodied the essence of who you were back in the beginning. Was there a time you read an exciting book under the covers with a flashlight way past your bedtime? Or waded in the creek searching for a fantastic treasure some big kid told you about? I hope you give yourself the rare pleasure of reliving those events, trusting that they’ll provide you with the exact emotional lift you need.

up to your ankles. I suggest that you further take advantage of the astrological opportunities by using a felt-tip pen to draw tattoos of magic symbols on your body, making love with grocery bags over your heads, and reciting dirty limericks in front of people who think you’re too serious. It’s high time for you to lose your cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Metaphorically speaking, you will duck at just the right time to miss the cream pie that’s headed toward your face. At least that’s what I predict, Aquarius. In addition to your good timing and skill at protecting yourself, you will also have a knack for avoiding messy complications, which is lucky given the fact that people around you may act as if messy complications are fun and interesting. Here’s further good news: You will have an instinct for detecting the slivers of truth that are embedded in wads of total BS. That will allow you to act with lucid efficiency while others are out fighting non-existent demons.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One day 17 years ago I was lying alone on my acupuncturist’s table, floating in that hypnogogic state you sometimes slip into when your ears, wrists, feet and forehead are pierced with needles. At one point she came in to check on me. Patting me on the upper arm, she murmured, “You will live a long life.” I received it as a prophecy, as a gift from her intuition to mine. In the days and months that followed, it stripped away the habitual anxiety I carried around with me and freed me to live with more courage and abandon. It gave me license to believe more wildly in my own potential. Now I’m offering you the same gift, Pisces. If you’re reading this horoscope today, you will live a long life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This would be an excellent week to tilt all the paintings on the walls of your home so they’re hanging a bit crooked, refer to yourself as the “Wizard of Desserts,” and stand in a mud puddle

What is Speed Gazing? An equal number of men and women are split into pairs. Each pair spends two minutes looking into each other’s eyes

Music by Top Hat Entertainment! Great giveaways! Roomful of singles!

— no talking,

just simple

eye contact. When the two minutes are up, the men move to the next table until everyone in the group has a chance to glance. There’s no scoring, note taking, or matchmaking — just a fun, “eyes-breaking” activity that could prove electrifying!

LOLA

the love counselor

Dear Lola, If ever a letter suggested the need for better communication, Boob Babe’s did. I wonder if Boob Babe has stimulated her wonderful husband’s nipples. Maybe it would help if she asked him to wear a bra, perhaps a black lace demi-cup. Helpful in Hinesburg

Dear Helpful, Ah, yes. I remember Boob Babe. She’s the straight, married woman who gets off on female breasts, and wondered how she could satisfy her urge while remaining sexually monogamous. My reply suggested sources of latex and silicone breast forms, nipples included, for her to play with. But your advice is also excellent. And you’re not the only reader to put in your two cents. Boob Babe might also consider viewing breast-focused videos or magazines — with or without her hubby. Another idea — closer to your approach but not without its drawbacks — was for Boob Babe to ply her spouse with fats and sweets in hopes of cultivating his man-boobs. Thanks to everyone who weighed in on this one. Love, Lola

Seana Woof! My name is Seana (See-na). I am a handsome, 2-to 3-year-old male Chow/Shar Pei mix. I am an easygoing and affably aloof boy. I can live with children 8 years old+ who will be respectful of me. Due to having severe bi-lateral entropia (eyelids that turn in), HSCC is not sure how well I can see or the level of discomfort I am in. However, I did have surgery this week to ease my suffering. My previous family taught me some wonderful tricks and reported that I am good off leash, love the car, tennis balls, rope toys, and snow! I would do best in a home with people who have experience with Shar Peis. Can’t you just see us having a wonderful life together?!
