Vermont Daily Briefing
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH Regarding “Downtown Businesses Oppose Home for Nonviolent Female Offenders” [“Local Matters,” March 8], I was quite angry that you left out a significant side of the story: the opinions of people who call this area home. You noted the project “abuts the Catholic Church” but left out of the picture the other building adjacent to 76-78 Cherry, which accommodates two residences and an office. Yes, it’s across from the parking garage, and on the other side are apartments on Bank Street, as well as several more behind the property on Pine Street and Pearl Street. It may not be strictly residential, but people like me live there and I hope our opinions are taken into account in the future. At this time I neither oppose nor support the proposed project, as I have yet to learn much about it. What I can say is I am appalled that this was the first I learned of it, in a story focused on the opposition from businesses. I don’t agree with the Burlington Business Association that the project should necessarily be halted for a public hearing, but I would strongly encourage the city to host a discussion to address concerns of all of those who are a part of this neighborhood. I view this area as a great mix of community and business, and I want to see it stay that way, but that means talking to the people who live there after the stores and offices close for the night.

The Three-Years War: Protests & Denial Word comes in of a good-sized protest this past weekend down Rutland way, a rally to mark ongoing opposition to the craziness in Iraq, on this the third anniversary of the War. Susan writes: “Went to the Peace Rally we had here in Rutland yesterday afternoon. For being bitterly cold, we had a darned good turn-out: 250 or so, from 8 to 88 years old, Rutlanders and far-flung Vermonters alike. “We stood at the corner of Routes 7 and 4, by the bandstand park, and held our signs from 2 to 3:30. Lots of people honked enthusiastically as they drove by! Of course, there were one or two (males, of course) who gave us the finger and yelled obscenities. “But then there was the guy who must have circled the block at least 10 times, honking with great gusto, cheering, and giving us the “V” peace sign out his open window . . . . And one of our group walked up and down behind the block-long line of us carrying a huge American flag. I thanked him for bringing it and added, ‘It belongs to us too!’” Posted March 20 by Philip Baruth [edited for length]

WELCOME USE As one of the 35 or so residents on the top block of Pine Street, I’d like to voice my support for the planned Northern Lights House [“Local Matters,” March 8]. Believe it or not, we are part of a mixed-use neighborhood that benefits its residents and local businesses alike. Between the churches, courts and parking lots, some of us still enjoy living here, and this plan — making a beautiful home for people on the rebound — is just the right thing to add to our community. I’d also like to express my vociferous dismay at the mean-spirited and officious “position paper” by Nancy Wood, president of the BBA, in which she calls for a public hearing on the plan. The actual business people in this immediate neighborhood are much more generous in their understanding of what a community is all about. I can’t believe that the members of BBA endorsed Ms. Wood’s diatribe ahead of its publication, and look forward to its retraction, or — better — to Ms. Wood’s removal as president. Or maybe there are other business associations that better represent this part of town. Michael Niederer BURLINGTON

rience is just that — the experience. While the story was wellwritten, I was surprised and disappointed to see Resmer remove the suspense from Bridgeman’s masterly weaving of plot and tangents as she went about describing Silent Invasion. I’ve never eaten cereal with a burnt spoon. Perhaps I’m naive, perhaps ignorant, but I’m glad I didn’t know until I knew. Elisabeth Howland WINOOSKI
NOISES OFF I sat two rows in front of Lori Lewis and her fidgeting children during the VYO concert in January [“Letters,” March 8]. I overheard their whispers, but found the “shushing” noises made by others much more distracting. I was shocked by the tone and the language used by the Flynn Spirit [usher] who lectured Lori and demanded that her family vacate their seats. Lori’s letters of outrage were quite reasonable in comparison. After watching the hubbub surrounding Lori and that wonderful concert bubble for weeks in Seven Days, it was with great trepidation that I attended Friday’s performance of the Peking Acrobats. My fears increased when I realized that more than half of the audience were children. How would the Flynn Spirits ever manage to reseat all of these children, should they fidget or whisper during the performance?

The outcome was worse than I imagined. Every single child in the audience whispered, fidgeted, and even laughed out loud during the performance. Surprisingly, most of the adults and even the Spirits exhibited the same behavior! Meanwhile, the talented acrobats did their best to avoid the distractions from the audience while performing their death-defying feats. Where were the noise-conscious nannies on Friday? Did they have the night off? Did they tire themselves out yelling at the school children during the matinee per-
formances? Or, did they just not care about the well being of the performers because they were from out of town? It’s one thing to be family friendly. However, safety should come first. John Canning SOUTH BURLINGTON
KISSING CURLEY? Bob Kiss’ election was the most exciting since Bernie’s second. That one showed the strength of an idea that only squeaked through its first trial. The idea has since
grown stale. Bob seems to augur a renewal. I mean the “progressive” idea, whatever that is. It’s too vague to describe without rhetoric; as far as I can make out, its use in politics just means “different from the other rascals,” or, “like Democrats, except where Democrats are like Republicans.” Maybe it’s better left vague. But, sure as Progressives threw the old rascals out, they’ve become the new ones. That’s not meant to insult — it’s just the natural consequence of being too long in office.
I think the decline started the moment someone thought of turning an ill-defined Movement into a Party. A change of the Progressive Party in City Hall is now overdue, but what we need is not another Party but just people who work from ideals and the right spirit. Bob Kiss strikes me as progressive by nature rather than party affiliation. I hope his budgetary tack is hard-headed. But, especially, I hope he brings some opposition voices into his administration — nay-sayers rather than yes-men. Voices that will keep complacency from setting in. Kevin Curley, for instance, who seems to be more progressive than he might admit, has the right spirit, energy, experience, articulateness and critical bent. He could be a great assistant mayor, or business liaison, or even head of CEDO. What say, Bob? Fred G. Hill BURLINGTON
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH In response to the article “What Do They Want?” about youth leaving Vermont [March 15], there are many factors to take into consideration. First off, the problem isn’t necessarily that the price of living is too high or that college is too expensive, although we are
above the national average. The problem resides with the low-paying, blue-collar job market Burlington and Vermont in general has to offer. Specifically, Burlington, a typical college town, is crawling with students eager to find a temporary job that can afford them that spring-break vacation or the typical living expenses associated with college etiquette — hence the Friday night parking disaster at Pearl Street Beverage. On top of the struggling college students are the recent college graduates of years past, who remain in Burlington. All of those graduates are seeking an entry-level position in their designated field, which has nothing to do with serving coffee or waiting tables at any of the hundred restaurants downtown. This being said, and the fact that Vermont is 5 percent above the national average of persons of age 25-plus holding a Bachelor’s degree, what kind of job opportunity is really left at the end of the day? The chance of getting a decent job or at least one that is in your field of study is limited. It’s no secret that the young can’t afford to live here. Shaun Boyce BURLINGTON

Winners and Losers Have Different Takes on IRV BY KEN PICARD
2x3-lubiana032206
3/16/06
11:02 AM
MONTPELIER — State lawmakers from the House and Senate government operations committees met jointly last week to hear testimony on Burlington’s recent foray into instant runoff voting. There was near-universal praise for the city’s voter-education program and for how the mechanics of the voting process were implemented. There was anything but consensus, however, on how IRV affected the campaign. Under IRV, voters can rank candidates in order of preference. When the votes are tallied, if one candidate doesn’t receive more than 50 percent of the votes, the second-choice votes of the bottom candidates are reallocated to the two leading contenders until someone receives a majority. Some of the harshest criticism about IRV came from Senator Hinda Miller, the Democratic

an amazing feat,” he joked. But Miller didn’t appear to be in a laughing mood. “In IRV, the candidate was allowed to influence that second vote,” she countered. “I personally find that very scary, and I, as a candidate, could not figure out how to game this system. And it becomes a game.” Currently, both the House and Senate are considering bills that would adopt IRV for statewide races. Miller advised her fellow lawmakers to “please go slow on
Sandy Baird described IRV as “an electoral strategy” rather than an electoral reform, and called it “a solution to a problem that never existed.” (Burlington had never held a runoff race for mayor.) As a lawyer, Baird also questioned whether IRV violates the constitutional right of “one person, one vote.” She later explained that anyone who voted for the bottom three candidates as both their first- and second-place choices were effectively denied a vote in the runoff.
this” and urged them to consider how IRV changes the way campaigns function. The Vermont Republican Party also weighed in with its assessment of IRV. Speaking on behalf of the state GOP, Rep. Kurt Wright (R–Burlington) refrained from taking a formal stand for or against instant runoff. However, he claimed that IRV made Burlington’s mayoral candidates far more reluctant to take strong positions on the issues out of fear of alienating their opponents’ voters and losing their second-place votes. The result, Wright argued, was that “personality became more important than issues.” He suggested that a traditional runoff election would have refocused the campaigns and the media’s attention on the differences between the two finalists’ positions. Others were even more pointed in their condemnation of IRV. Burlington attorney and Democratic former Representative
Baird, who sponsored a mayoral debate at City Hall, echoed Wright’s comments that because the candidates were all vying for each other’s second-place votes, the race was more focused on personalities than on issues. Baird, who had endorsed Miller’s candidacy, added, “I’ve never seen such personal attacks, on one candidate in particular, in my entire history in Burlington.” But Mayor-elect Kiss disagreed that the candidates didn’t differentiate themselves from one another, and he challenged Miller’s remarks that anyone was “gaming the system.” As Kiss put it, “I’m not sure that candidates can try to guess the system.” Kiss said that in his assessment, Burlington voters were well served by IRV since a mayor was elected by the largest number of voters; typically, voter turnout drops markedly in runoff elections that are held weeks after the election. Kiss also dis-

frontrunner who came in second behind Progressive Rep. Bob Kiss due to the instant-runoff procedure. While Miller readily acknowledged that Kiss “won this election fair and square,” she complained that her Republican opponent, Kevin Curley, had “interfered . . . with the independent thinking of his supporters.” During interviews and debates leading up to the election, Curley announced that he planned to vote for Kiss as his second choice. He was the only candidate to indicate his IRV preferences. Since Curley came in third in the first round, his voters’ second choices were redistributed to Kiss and Miller. According to Burlington City Attorney Joe McNeil, 833 of those votes went to Kiss and 818 to Miller. The remaining 958 Curley voters listed no second preference. After the election, Curley told the press he had “saved Burlington from a Hinda Miller administration.” During last week’s hearing, Senator Jim Condos (D–Chittenden), who chairs the Senate Government Operations Committee, tried to make light of Curley’s remarks. “Sounds to me like the Progressives and the Republicans got together.

BURLINGTON — It’s the real thing. That is, not the soft drink but the Coca-Cola Company’s record of environmental and human rights abuses, allege student activists at the University of Vermont. They’re calling on the school’s administration to break its exclusive contract with Coca-Cola, and asking students to boycott all Coke products until the company changes its ways. A newly formed student group, the Coalition for a Responsible Coca-Cola (CRC), recently kicked off a campus-wide campaign against the soft drink giant. Working in conjunction with several national organizations, including United Students Against Sweatshops and the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, CRC is modeling its efforts after similar drives at other colleges and universities around the country. Anti-Coke activists in Burlington and elsewhere contend that, since 1989, the Coca-Cola Company has been complicit in acts of violence against union leaders at its bottling plants in Colombia. Allegations include intimidation, harassment, kidnapping, disappearances and the murders of union leaders and their family members by paramilitary death squads. Similar complaints have also been made about CocaCola plants in Turkey and Guatemala. And in India, Coca-Cola has been accused of contaminating and depleting groundwater, as well as disposing of solid waste laden with heavy metals by giving it to Indian farmers and calling it fertilizer. Coca-Cola has repeatedly denied those allegations. The company asserts that it has a strong record on protecting human rights and the environment. The Atlanta, Georgia-based corporation has spent millions of dollars trying to put the fizz back into its global reputation, through marketing and media blitzes. These include a program launched a few weeks ago in India to replenish groundwater through five “Rain Water Harvesting Projects.” This hasn’t stopped anti-Coke sentiment on many U.S. college campuses in recent months. Already, 23 schools, including the University of Michigan, Rutgers University in New Jersey and New York University, have not renewed their contracts with Coke, suspended the sale of all Coke products or removed their products from campuses entirely. In January, an anti-Coke editorial ran in the student newspaper at Atlanta’s Emory University, sometimes referred to as “Coca-Cola University” because of its historic ties to the company. However, no anti-Coke campaign has ever achieved what UVM activists have proposed — terminating Coke’s contract before it expires. Coca-Cola’s 10-year, $4.3

spring? UVM activists say that Coca-Cola is guilty of intimidation, harassment, kidnapping, disappearances and the murders of union leaders by paramilitary death squads in Colombia. million deal with the university runs through June 30, 2012. That agreement gives the beverage maker exclusive vending rights for all sodas, juices, energy drinks and bottled water sold on campus, including at dining facilities and sporting events. Coke also enjoys semi-exclusive rights to 80 percent of the cooler and shelf space at four on-campus convenience stores. CRC kicked off its public-education campaign a few weeks ago; more than 75 people gathered in Memorial Lounge in UVM’s Waterman Building to hear a firsthand account from former labor activist Luis Cardona about a murder he witnessed. Cardona worked at the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Carepa, Colombia, for 16 years before death threats against him and his family forced him to flee the country. Speaking by phone from his home in Chicago through a Spanish-language translator in Burlington, Cardona recounted his 12 years as a labor activist. On December 5, 1996, he watched as fellow union leader Isidro Segundo Gil was shot by paramilitary gunmen inside the gates of the CocaCola bottling facility. Later that day, Cardona himself was kidnapped, interrogated and threatened by paramilitary forces, but he managed to escape. He claims that the death squads were working on behalf of Coca-Cola’s plant managers in an effort to force union employees to resign. “I asked myself, if my troubles are with the Coca-Cola Company, why am I being made a target of
the paramilitary?” Cardona asked. Since 1989, eight other union activists have been killed, and scores of others have been kidnapped, threatened or “disappeared,” he added. Natalia Fajardo, a UVM student and Colombia native, is a CRC organizer. “It matters to me because it is an issue of moral responsibility,” she says. Fajardo point out that UVM’s “Common Ground” statement of values affirms, “We are a community that unites against all forms of injustice and we are striving to become an environmental leader in the nation.” She adds, “We should not do business with a company that is clearly committing both environmental and social abuses throughout the world.” The Coca-Coca bottling company in Colchester employs about 150 people and distributes about two-thirds of the Coca-Cola products sold in the state, including those at UVM, according to General Manager David LaRose. He points out that all Coke beverages bottled and sold in Vermont are manufactured within the United States, and have no connection to Colombian bottlers. LaRose defers all other inquiries about Coke’s record on human rights and the environment to the company’s headquarters. Pablo Largacha is director of public affairs and communications with Coca-Cola in Atlanta. Also a native of Colombia, he admits there’s a “valid and legitimate cry for help” from some labor activists

agreed that the race mostly featured personal attacks. “It was about our skills and experience and issues,� Kiss said. “I think it’s unfair to say that the people of Burlington really couldn’t make distinctions.� Terry Bouricius, a former city councilor and state representative who endorsed Kiss, offered another positive assessment of IRV.

Jo LaMarche, the city’s director of elections and records, said that although IRV was “anxiety-provoking,� she was relieved that it worked as well as it did. The system also saved taxpayers between $8000 and $10,000, she added, which is the average cost of holding a citywide election. m

in 2003. While Kleppner credited the elevated voter interest to IRV, critics of the new system countered that it’s unfair to compare this election to those in recent years. As Miller pointed out, this was the first mayoral race in 14 years when an incumbent wasn’t up for reelection. And Rep. Wright noted that, in 2003, incumbent Peter Clavelle didn’t have a majorparty contender; during the 2001 election, he added, a snowstorm dumped two feet of snow on the city. Turnout that year was 21 percent.

Recently, Bouricius worked as an electoral consultant for the city. He told the lawmakers that the legal question about whether IRV violates the one-person, one-vote principle has been “absolutely settled� in case law around the country. In fact, he pointed out that Robert’s Rules of Order recommends it as superior to plurality voting. What wasn’t in dispute during last week’s session were the mechanical efficiencies and costsavings IRV made possible. Caleb Kleppner, an electoral consultant who testified by phone, told the committees that the electronic voting machines and IRV software worked “extremely smoothly,� with only 0.1 percent of the ballots declared invalid. More than 89 percent of Burlington’s voters chose to rank their candidates, Kleppner added, and there was no

about that country’s ongoing spasms of violence, which have claimed more than 100,000 lives in the last 60 years. However, he asserts that some activists, including union organizers in the United States, have “attached their cause to the Coca-Cola trademark� in an “opportunistic effort� to gain
sympathy and international media attention. Largacha points out that two separate judicial investigations in Colombia have cleared the company of any involvement in antiunion violence. He also notes that Coke was dismissed as a defendant in a federal lawsuit filed in U.S.
District Court in Miami in 2001. In a country where violence has deterred all but 5 percent of the total workforce from joining unions, Largacha adds, about 31 percent of Coke’s employees in Colombia are unionized. He downplays the impact of anti-Coke campaigns on college campuses. Some schools, such as St. John’s University in New York, have rejected students’ efforts to stop the sale of Coke products on campus, Largacha notes. Others, like Rutgers, chose not to renew their Coke contracts because they received more competitive bids from Pepsi. Still others, he asserts, dropped Coke for more practical reasons — university administrators didn’t like being embroiled in complex and murky international disputes. “For most administrators, their core business is education,� Largacha says. “They don’t want this thing on top of their desks, causing lots of phone calls and emails to pour in.� UVM Director of Communications Enrique Corredera says the administration is sensitive to students’ concerns and is committed to adhering to the university’s high ethical business standards. However, he believes that other venues, such as the court system and international bodies, are much better equipped to evaluate the validity of the claims being made against the company. For now, he says, “We feel a great degree of obligation� to honor UVM’s contract with Coca-Cola. m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Why the AP Fired Christopher Graff
I
t’s a big bad world out there, folks, and outside forces have more control over what we read, watch and hear on the news in Vermont than we’d like to imagine. But shortly after 1 p.m. on Monday, that reality hit home with a loud bang. “Hey,” said the familiar voice on the phone, that of a Montpelier political operative, “you want to be the new bureau chief of the Associated Press?” “What? Are you on drugs?” we asked. “What the hell are you saying?” “Chris Graff just got fired,” he replied. “Check Darren Allen’s ‘Hall Monitor’ blog in the Times Argus.” We did: Chris Graff no longer with the AP: One of the most venerable and well-known bylines in Vermont media was silenced today, as Vermont AP Bureau Chief Chris Graff was said to no longer be with the world’s largest news gathering organization. Reached at his Elm Street home in Montpelier, Chris sounded as stunned as the rest of the state’s media world. “I am trying to figure it out myself,” the newsman said. His boss, Concord, N.H. Bureau Chief Larry Laughlin, was in town today and all he would say was, “Chris Graff is no longer with the Associated Press.” Chris Graff graduated Middlebury College in 1975 and started his news career covering the Statehouse for WFAD in Middlebury. In 1978, he was hired by the Associated Press, and two years later became the top dog at the Montpelier bureau. Jimmy Carter was in the White House, phones had cords and nobody imagined email. For the last 27-plus years, Graff’s been Vermont’s Mr. Reliable, but on Monday the news service abruptly fired him. Yours truly has worked in the Vermont news biz long enough — since 1979 — to have been fired a few times. But throughout our ups and downs, Chris Graff has been a cornerstone for the entire Vermont press business. Why? Because from his days as the young AP Vermont boss in the shabby but quaint little bureau above Montpelier’s Thrush Tavern, to his recent days as the middleaged bureau chief in the new, upscale AP digs a few blocks away along the river bank, Chris Graff has consistently made the calls, especially the close calls, that established the Vermont AP wire as the gold standard for news credibility. We’ve heard him criticized for leaning to the right. And we’ve heard him blasted for leaning to the left. Who the critic is seems to depend on which side is losing at any given moment on any given issue. It goes with the territory. If not for the fact that he’s never wanted to live anywhere but Vermont, Graff could easily have become a top AP byline on the national and international news scene. We’ve been very lucky to have him. As a stunned-looking Marselis Parsons told Ch. 3 viewers Monday evening, “The AP did not comment, and Graff could not be reached for comment. Politicians ranging from Jim Douglas to Pat Leahy said it is a huge loss and a complete surprise. Some AP clients were
astonished by the news and intend to appeal the wire service headquarters in New York.” So what happened? First of all, Mr. Graff is saying nothing beyond confirming that he was indeed “fired.” He told “Inside Track” on Tuesday he is meeting with an attorney and is in the process of negotiating a separation agreement with AP. “To me, reality is setting in today,” said Graff, “but what made today special is seeing all the nice comments” in the morning’s newspaper stories about his dismissal. All of a sudden here’s a chill in the air, the smell of fear, people worried about their jobs. The reporters at the Montpelier bureau we’ve contacted have not responded to inquiries. However, an “Inside Track” investigation of Graff’s firing has uncovered the following: First, since former USA Today president and publisher Tom Curley took over the reins at AP in 2003, things have taken a turn for the worse. Graff isn’t the first veteran AP bureau chief to get axed recently. Curley’s new Gannett-style policies and guidelines are being imposed with an iron fist by his new team of managers. There are complaints the news is being dumbed down by corporate, and the AP gold standard is being turned into cow flop. Second, “Inside Track” has learned that Mr. Graff’s firing is directly linked to a certain news item he moved out to client newspapers on the Associated Press wire two weeks ago. According to sources in the Vermont media, the item was a column written by Vermont Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy. The subject was the growing threat to our democracy by infringements imposed by the Bush administration on America’s hallowed Freedom of Information Act. It was submitted for possible publication by the “Sunshine in Government Initiative” of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Sources say the Leahy column moved on the Vermont AP wire on Wednesday, March 8, as part of a “Sunshine Sunday” preview package. Also in the Sunday package was a feature on Gov. Douglas’ attempt to bar access to public records by invoking the “deliberative process privilege.” Sunday kicked off “Sunshine Week.” Open government was a national theme raised by many news outlets coast to coast. But shortly after the AP Sunshine package moved on the Vermont wire, an unidentified AP editor up the food chain abruptly yanked it. Vermont AP clients were notified it was being withdrawn. Here’s what went out on the wire: BULLETIN ELIMINATION Advisory The Associated Press Editors: The Sunshine Week column by Sen. Patrick Leahy, sent without a dateline in advance March 8 for use in Sunday newspapers of March 12, has been eliminated. The material should not have moved on the wire. INSIDE TRACK >> 16A

No sub will be filed. The AP. Sources say the objection was over moving an item written by a “partisan politician� without including a rebuttal from a partisan politician of a different stripe. Can you believe it? The gods at AP fired Chris Graff because of something St. Patrick wrote about open government! Leahy isn’t even a candidate for office this year. Why is open government suddenly such a touchy topic at AP? The remarkable thing is that one year ago, Mr. Graff moved a different Leahy column on the FOIA as part of ASNE’s first annual Sunshine Week. Surely, if the higher-ups at the “new� AP had a problem, they would have mentioned it back then? With both Graff and AP management declining comment beyond confirming the firing, we cannot confirm that the Leahy open-government column was the only reason Graff was sacked. Indeed, many in the news biz wonder if his courageous defense of truth and accuracy during January’s Fox News vs. Vermont firestorm involving Judge Edward Cashman was also a factor. You’ll recall that in his trademark “nothing but the facts� style, Graff courageously doubted the original WCAX-TV report that Cashman had told the court he “does not believe in punishment.� A startling statement, if true. But the AP veteran requested the court transcript and ran an eyeopening article several days later based only on the facts, and the facts were that the judge never said what Ch. 3, and some other media outlets, had reported. While that article may not have won him much praise at WCAX, it demonstrated an admirable commitment to getting the facts right. It also made him a nightly target for the #1 right-wing trash talker on Fox “News� — Bill O’Reilly. O’Reilly went on a threeweek crusade, crucifying Judge Cashman and anyone who defended him. Certainly, getting slimed night after night by name on the national airwaves by so prominent a right-wing mob leader must have made Graff’s AP bosses take note? We don’t know, because AP management isn’t talking. Secrecy is the order of the day at the world’s largest news service. Sen. Leahy’s chief of staff Ed Pagano called Graff’s firing “shocking.� Informed we’d be reporting that Graff’s decision to publish the senator’s open-government column got him canned, Pagano said he had “no information to either confirm or deny it.� Big Ed wondered aloud “how open government could be partisan?� A free press, mes amis, is the key to having an open government, and this unfortunate episode comes in a long line of recent oversights by America’s free press. Instead, it’s been a free reign of terror for the Bush administration. Constitutional rights have been ignored, the
U.S. Treasury is in a shambles, and Big Oil is running its own war, with the U.S. military — especially our National Guard weekend warriors — as their private security force. As St. Patrick wrote in the statement AP censored: The right to know is a cornerstone of our democracy. Without it, citizens are kept in the dark about key policy decisions that directly affect their lives. Without open government, citizens cannot make informed choices at the ballot box. Without access to public documents and a vibrant free press, officials can make decisions in the shadows, often in collusion with special interests, escaping accountability for their actions. And once eroded, these rights are hard to win back. Amen. Once again we’re reminded that the only thing 1984 author George Orwell got wrong was the date. With Big Brother controlling the White House, both branches of Congress and the Supreme Court, taking over AP was only a matter of time. P.S. One other thing. Mr. Graff says he plans on being in his familiar anchor seat Friday evening for the next edition of “Vermont This Week� on Vermont Public Television. Might be worth watching, eh? The Cause of War — The bloody and senseless BushCheney-Rumsfeld-Rove bloodbath in Iraq enters its fourth year this week. And Bush is out on the stump saying everything’s going just fine! Is anyone better off today than they were four years ago? Back then, it was a war fought because, our president said, we were threatened by Saddam Hussein’s deadly weapons. America’s press fell for it, and America’s public followed like sheep to the slaughter. So why did America go to war? In the past week, “Inside Track� has gained a little insight into the true answer from what may at first appear unusual sources. Jim Douglas is the Republican governor of Vermont and a Bush supporter. Last week he went on a surprise trip to the war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan to visit Vermont soldiers. Brian Dubie is the Republican lieutenant governor of Vermont and a Bush supporter. He’s also a former Vermont Air Guard pilot. Last week Brian Dubie was addressing a UVM event titled “Future Possibilities in Sustainable Energy Solutions.� The war was not the topic that day — the “Green Valley� was. But it was Doobie-Doo’s rather frank remarks about the war in Iraq that turned a few heads. “This focus is on energy,� said Dubie. “You pick up the newspaper today, The Burlington Free Press, top of the fold, our governor’s in Iraq,� he pointed out. “Well, that’s about energy,� said the Doobster. The war’s about “energy,� eh? And here we thought it was about fighting global terrorism and spreading freedom and
2x1.5-martins100604
democracy to the people of Iraq! Brian was obviously referring to the vast oil reserves beneath the Iraqi desert — oil desperately needed for America’s fleet of low-mileage cars and trucks. Thanks for being so honest about it, Brian. On Saturday, Gov. Douglas held a press conference at Camp Johnson. He’d been whisked through the war zone on low-flying helicopters. Except for at one stop, the only Iraqi people he saw were on the ground below as he flew over. His only ground-level contact was at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Baghdad. “What I’ll remember,� said Douglas, “is when an Iraqi guard who was on duty at the tomb saw the two-star Pentagon general who was traveling with us, he immediately snapped to attention and saluted an American general!� Vermont’s governor, a war supporter from before Day One, took that salute as evidence “that there certainly is a good working relationship and increasingly successful one between the American and Iraqi forces.� Whatever you say, Guv! Douglas said he thanked the troops “for the service that’s being rendered to our great country,� and assured them that the efforts of “those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice are not in vain.� Pretty much standard rhetoric with the timeless line about sacrifices “not being in vain.� We heard the same line in the 1960s about sacrifices in Vietnam. But how and when will we know? “Well, we’ll obviously have to wait and see how history judges the operation,� said Douglas, “but someone described Iraq as basically a rich country that is temporarily poor.� Unlike Afghanistan, he noted, “they have the resources there, human, natural and economic, to be a real player in the world economy.� The Guv didn’t mention “oil� specifically. He didn’t have to. Impeachment Update — The Addison County Democratic Committee passed the “Rutland Resolution� on a voice vote Monday evening. It’s on the agenda for Thursday’s gathering of Chittenden County Democrats. The resolution calls on the Vermont Legislature to pass a similar impeachment resolution and forward it to the U.S. House. Under House rules, such a state-passed resolution can be used to set the impeachment wheels in motion. Democratic State Chairman Ian Carleton anticipates a special state committee meeting on the matter on April 8.

MAR The Dangers of a Pandemic: 28 Facts about Human and Bird Flu Viruses
“Jobs in Vermont as a unix administrator can be hard to find. There are so many smallto medium-sized businesses that it is easy to lose sight of the few large ones, and overlook the job opportunities to be had. Mostly just to see what else was out there, I put my resume up on a resume billboard one evening, and was astonished to get a call from Chris the next morning. He told me of a position in Chittenden County, and set up an interview. After the interview, I had a job offer within days of that. After working at IBM for the past year, I was offered a promotion, which was supported in full by the Technical Connection. Chris and Kathie have started me off on a great career path, and then stepped aside when it was time to move on. I wish I had found them years ago and gotten started earlier. I’ve recommended them to my friends, and I’d suggest to anyone that they contact the Vermont Technical Connection, today, and let Chris and Kathie help get started on their career.� — JUSTIN WILLIAMS

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ White House Jumps the Shark The recent woes besetting the Bush administration offer conclusive proof that the White House has finally jumped the shark, an expert in the field of jumping the shark said today. Jumping the shark — a phrase referring to the phenomenon of a long-running television series suddenly becoming irretrievably bad — has never been used to explain the rapid deterioration of a presidency before. But according to shark-jumping expert Jace Monteith, “The Bush administration is beginning to look like the fourth season of ‘Saved By the Bell.’” Mr. Monteith points to Vice President Dick Cheney’s recent hunting accident as a sure sign the White House has jumped the shark. “If you were reading “TV Guide” and it said, ‘This week, trouble ensues at the White House when the vice president shoots a man in the face,’ you’d be like, oh, man, they’re running out of ideas,” Mr. Monteith says. “What are they going to do on next week’s episode, give the ports away to Arabs?” Mr. Monteith thinks that recent calls by Senate Republicans for President Bush to bring “new blood” into his administration are yet another ominous sign the White House has jumped the shark. “That’s something always done to make a show last for another season or so,” Mr. Monteith says. “I don’t know who the White House has in mind, but I hope it turns out better than Scrappy-Doo.” Elsewhere, the Sony Corporation said that production delays for its PlayStation 3 console would mean that for the next six months computer game players would have to get a life. >
“Yes, front desk? I accidentally ordered ‘Bangin’ Big Bootie Butts’ twice.”

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS
Writing Homeland
I
“
t would be time to start to get acquainted with some of the challenges.� — Michael Chertoff, Homeland Security director Dear Mr. Chertoff: Amen. Leaving aside the quality of your English, I want you to know that I entirely agree with your statement of March 9 and am completely in sync with your goal. The “challenges� now facing our nation and the world are exactly what we need to get acquainted with, although — no offense to you — I think it’s past time we did. And I’m not just talking about
We all know, Mr. Chertoff, that Bush doesn’t give a damn how many people die of bird flu, any more than he cares how many die in the Middle East. “bird flu,� as you were at your news conference in Washington last week. No, I’m talking about something larger than an avian-borne illness, however dreadful that might turn out to be. I’m talking about the ongoing horror of the reign of your boss, George W. Bush, the man who put you in power and left you alone with the keys. You’re even beginning to sound like him, I’m afraid, using the same kind of rambling, obfuscating language that says nothing of importance, but does now and then serve to reassure at least part of a bewildered population. It’s called “fast talk,� Mr. Chertoff, and it works only for a while. As an example, when you issued last week’s dire warnings about bird flu, you sounded just like the president when he talks about “terror,� “the terrorists� and “democracy on the march.� You seemed determined to scare the bejeezus out of us, while simultaneously insisting that everything’s going to be hunky-dory if we just sit back, pay our bills on time, and let the big boys handle it. “I can’t predict,� you declared (immediately begging the question of why you can’t), “but I certainly have to say that we should be prepared for the possibility that at some point in the next few months, a wild fowl will come over the migratory pathway and will be infected.� But “we keep a lot of our poultry business indoors,� you went on, “so we don’t have the kind of situation that a lot of countries have, where there’s a lot of mixing of wild fowl and domestic fowl.� That’s a lot of “a lots,� Mr. Chertoff, and while you urged us to react to this bird-flu business “with alertness and with care, but not with panic,� the damage was done: We’re already panicked, and your closing words did nothing to relieve
our fears: “If we get a wild bird or even a domestic chicken that gets infected with avian flu,â€? you said, “we’re going to be able to deal with it because we have got a lot of experience with that.â€? Well, forgive me for saying it, Mr. 168 battery street • burlington • 651.0880 Chertoff, but we don’t have any experience with that at all — not yet — and the dismal record of your department’s 2x4-eyes021506.indd 1 2/10/06 2:19:10 PM preparedness for disaster, both natural and manufactured, is plain to everyone. I refer, of course, to last year’s hurricanes in the Gulf, but not only to those. After all, we’re dealing with an administration that inflicts terror on the world, wrecks the environment to keep the oil giants happy, allows the pharmaceutical industry to run riot with pricing, thinks AIDS can be halted through “abstinence programs,â€? and won’t even acknowledge the eye-popping consequences of global warming, which only a toddler could fail to miss. So it doesn’t help to be told, “We’ve dealt with these kinds of issues before, similar issues. We actually are working on a very specific plan to deal with this.â€? Your plan is so specific that its details can’t be revealed, and I’m not really confident that you’ll know how to “deal with itâ€? when those infected chickens get loose. You shouldn’t even have the job you’ve got, I think, because you aren’t qualified for it. I suppose this doesn’t bother you, as you’re working for a man — a crony and a tool for corporate interests — who isn’t qualified for his job, either. As Lewis Lapham wrote recently in Harper’s, calling for Bush’s impeachment: “We have before us in the White House a thief who steals the country’s 3/13/06 12:45:50 PM good name and reputation for his private 2x3-videoworld031506.indd 1 interest and personal use; a liar who seeks to instill in the American people a state of fear; a televangelist who engages the United States in a never-ending crusade against all the world’s evil, a wastrel who squanders a vast sum of the nation’s wealth on what turns out to be a recruiting drive certain to multiply the host of our enemies.â€? We all know, Mr. Chertoff — and you know it, too — that Bush doesn’t give a damn how many people die of bird flu, any more than he cares how many die in the Middle East, as long as the profits keep on pumping. Maybe you’ve heard the little joke going around, which says that Bush is so concerned about bird flu he’s decided to bomb the Canary Islands. If you haven’t, well . . . have a laugh on me. In closing, please remember that before September 11, 2001, there was no such thing in the USA as a “Department of Homeland Security.â€? There wasn’t even such a thing as a “Homelandâ€? in * SEE STORE FOR DETAILS. reference to America, an idea we used to NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. reserve for foreign dictatorships — several of which, faced with catastrophe and 6HNK #:FBER ,PG>= disaster, have since become better democ ,I>K:M>= +>B@A;HKAHH= racies than our own. ->M 0I><B:EBLML 0BG<> Good luck in all your future endeavors. m

Nathan Clifford Myles, 25, of Thunder Bay was observed driving erratically but refused a uniformed officer’s order to pull over.

t had to happen eventually: Someone has created a literary award for those online scribes known as bloggers. On April 3, self-publishing website Lulu.com will award the world’s first Blooker Prizes. The name is both a play on the prestigious Booker Prize and a nod to the new medium of “blooks” — books based on blogs or websites. Lulu has chosen finalists in the categories of fiction, nonfiction and comics. Winners in each category will net $1000,
Stowe resident Tom Evslin’s murder mystery hackoff.com made the short list for this year’s fiction award. and the author of the best blook will pocket another grand. Stowe resident Tom Evslin’s murder mystery hackoff.com made the short list for this year’s fiction award. Evslin blogs at blog.tomevslin.com — a site he calls “Fractals of Change.” His self-published novel qualifies as a blook because he published it first at hackoff.com. Evslin’s murder mystery investigates the shooting death of Larry Lazard, CEO of a fictional online security company. The story takes place in the late 1990s, but Evslin still calls it “a historical novel.” “History is moving fast in the days of the Internet,” he quips. Evslin, 62, ought to know — the longtime techie drew his material from his own experiences in the software industry. He founded a software company after moving to Vermont in 1970. For years he lived in Worcester with his wife Mary and their three kids, serving as town moderator, and as transportation secretary under Governor Richard Snelling in 1981-82. Evslin sold his company to Microsoft in 1991 and moved to Vancouver, then Seattle, while helping the software giant develop applications such as Microsoft Mail, Exchange and Outlook. He departed Microsoft for AT&T in 1994, and left that company three years later to found Internet start-up ITXC Corp. with his wife. The Evslins got caught in the tech bubble: Their stock rose from $12 a share to $120, then plummeted to $1. The couple sold their company in 2004 for $3 a share and retired; they moved back to Vermont in January of this year. Evslin, whose mother Dorothy and late father Bernard both published books, says he always wanted to write a novel about his heady years as an Internet company CEO. He admits that his mother is “still a little appalled” that he decided to self-publish.
Hard copies of Evslin’s blook are now available at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon.com, but readers can find the whole thing for free on the blook’s website. They can even choose to have it delivered chapter by chapter to their computers via RSS feed — in text form, or as a podcast. Giving the novel away for free online might seem counterintuitive, but Evslin points out that he’s made it accessible to bloggers who might want to give it some virtual ink. Most newspapers, including Seven Days, rarely review self-published books. Besides, Evslin says, “If there was any place people knew me, it was on the Internet.”

If traditional newspapers turn their noses up at blooks, they’re nonetheless increasingly eager to incorporate blogs into their operations. Take ExploreNewEngland.com, an online media venture owned by the Boston Globe and Boston.com. ExploreNewEngland serves as a portal site for tourists, offering travel info and advertising, as well as articles from the print edition of the Boston Globe. In an effort to feed online readers more local content, the site’s creators also hired six bloggers, one from each of the six states. A Google search for “Vermont vacation blog,” for example, turns up a link to the site’s Vermont blog, written — until recently — by Burlington resident Matt Mahoney. “Local resident Matt Mahoney is your connection to Vermont,” says the description that still pops up on Google. “Check in with his blog for all things astonishing jewelry • sumptuous • luxurious accessories 2x5-Niccos032206 3/17/06 8:37clothing AM Page 1 cool in the Green Mountain State.” 658-4050 • mon-sat 10-6, sun 12-5 • 115 college st, burlington For several months Mahoney, who on his profile listed his occupation as “banker,” recommended various events 2x5-marilyns032206.indd 1 3/17/06 and destinations to his readers, signing his posts “vtblogger.” In a post dated March 9, he touted the Peking Acrobats show at the Flynn. What Mahoney failed to note was that his preview of the show was copied word for word from a Seven Days calendar spotlight. In fact, Seven Days calendar writer Meghan Dewald discovered four more spotlights posted, unattributed, on Mahoney’s blog. Seven Days contacted Ron Agrella, the features content manager at Boston.com, who promptly fired Mahoney and deleted his site, offering no explanation as to why Mahoney took work from Seven Days and passed it off as his own. Mahoney did not return emails for this story. Perhaps he will start his own blog to explain.m http://www.Lulu.com http://blog.tomevslin.com http://www.hackoff.com http://www.ExploreNewEngland.com http://www.boston.com

illiston’s big-box stores beckon buyers with products from plywood to pantyhose to plasma TVs. But there’s more to the town than just asphalt and franchise anonymity. East of Maple Tree Place, Route 2 starts feeling more like Vermont. “Historic Williston Village” has a genuine town green — complete with gazebo — the Old Brick Church and, beside it, the Old Brick Café. The restaurant opened a year ago, serving breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch in a renovated 1824 farmhouse. A loyal local clientele comes for neighborly conversation over killer chocolate chip cookies, and for a weekend brunch of Eggs Benedict made with Canadian bacon or grilled seitan. In January, owner David Herskowitz upped the ante by adding dinner three nights a week. The menu brings residents a level of culinary sophistication previously unavailable in town. For those who live elsewhere, the satisfying dishes and attractive setting are well worth the drive. “I wanted a place like the Starry Night Café,” says Herskowitz. Like the funky and elegant Ferrisburgh restaurant, Old Brick offers local ingredients in creative combinations. Local maple syrup sweetens the butternut squash soup, which is topped with a crispy parsnip chip. Steak arrives surrounded by a demiglaze dotted with bleu cheese from Highgate. Salads such as blood orange with gold beets, and Belgian endives with walnuts and Gorgonzola, are as delicious as they are gorgeous. Though the vibe is upscale, prices are pitched to encourage more than just special-occasion parties. The generously portioned dinner entrées range from homemade beet ravioli ($13) to a $19.50 seafood cioppino. Appetizers average $7, desserts $6. No liquor license means no wine-list sticker shock. And unlike some BYOB businesses, the Old Brick doesn’t charge a corkage fee. “I don’t like nickel-and-diming people,” Herskowitz says. “I want to give people what they want and have them come often.” Plus, “My mom convinced me not to. You have to listen to your mother.” Herskowitz, 44, grew up in South Jersey, where his father built some of the country’s first planned residential developments. After college, David Herskowitz joined the family business, building shopping areas for Wendy’s, Rite-Aid Drugs and Wawa supermarkets. But within a few years, he decided he “Edible Complex” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.
didn’t like the work — which was more Taft Corners than Williston Village — and went to California to study photography instead. A 9-month trip around the world followed; his images of the Taj Mahal and Jerusalem’s Western Wall are on display in the café. Back in the States, Herskowitz moved to Philadelphia, where he ran a 70-bed hostel in an old building he’d renovated. It was there he fell in love with a physical therapist from Germany. When her work took her to Vermont, he followed, and worked for a while as a photographer for The Burlington Free Press. After the couple married, he built their hilltop home in Williston. Then he started searching for a new project. “I needed something to do,” Herskowitz explains. “You can only walk in the woods for so many hours a day.” Why a restaurant? “I was looking for a challenge,” he says, noting he was also frustrated by having to drive whenever he wanted to eat out. An opportunity arose when Brent Sloan, then a co-owner of Wine Works in Burlington, moved to Texas. Sloan and his family had been living in the old farmhouse in the center of Williston Village that had once served as the town clerk’s office. Herskowitz bought the building, and then invested nine months and “close to half a million dollars” to turn it into a restaurant. He points out the architectural features with obvious pride, and speaks animatedly about his parking-lot permit and exterior sign design. Acting as his own designer and builder, Herskowitz separated the attached barn, moved it back and constructed an entry area to connect the barn and the house. Although the original front porch still faces the street, visitors enter the restaurant as they would a friend’s house: through the back door and past the open kitchen. A patio accommodates outdoor seating in warm weather. Coffee roasted at Burlington’s Uncommon Grounds is available at a self-serve station. A glass case displays mocha almond and peach scones and blueberry and raspberry muffins. A couple of tables have chessboard tops, but they have yet to be used for play, Herskowitz says. Three walls are bright yellow scribbled over with dashes of turquoise and maroon. The fourth wall is the house’s original brick façade, with a door and a preserved casement window opening into the area where long-time residents still remember coming to pay their taxes. Today it offers shelves of books and toys for kids to explore while
their parents enjoy lunch or a latte. That way, young families don’t disturb diners in the grown-up eating areas at the front of the old house. Herskowitz had trouble finding help when the restaurant first opened. “I had my hands full,” he recalls. “I was doing dishes three to four days a week. I threw my back out. It was too much. Once I got a steady crew, I started thinking about dinner.” Since his own expertise is more entrepreneurial than epicurean, Herskowitz hired two new chefs to make that happen. He defers to them on culinary questions, creating a rare opportunity for Darryl Sawyer and Robert Hunter Prichett, who are just 24 and 23, respectively. Sawyer has been at the Williston venue for about a month. He’s a South Burlington native who studied at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. Prichett worked at Vermont Pub & Brewery, Leunig’s and Cannon’s in Burlington, and at Jeff’s Maine Seafood in St. Albans before coming to work for Herskowitz in September. “Dave is very supportive,” Sawyer says of his boss. “We have quite a bit of freedom. We’re both pretty young to be chefs.” The fare is still somewhat in flux, he adds. “When you first start a menu, you’re going to have to tweak things. Our pork dish changed the sides three times, trying to get it right.” Lots of items don’t need improvement. Chicken stuffed with bacon, cheddar and sage is delicious, as is the duck breast. Tangy chicory slaw and barely grilled broccolini sides are perfectly prepared. A risotto with black trumpet mushrooms is a definite keeper, though the trout with which it was paired in a recent special was overpowered by scallop stuffing and sunflower sprouts. Sauces are a strong suit, from the cognac-shallot pan sauce served with the chicken to the subtle cardamom crème anglaise that comes with the apple tarte tatin. Other notable desserts: dark, molten chocolate soufflé, homemade walnut-brittle ice cream, and the café’s super-soft signature cookie stuffed with chocolate chips. While Sawyer and his crew concentrate on the kitchen, Herskowitz is a genial host out front, warm and down-to-earth. Having given his community a welcome gathering place, he hopes he’s found the recipe for renovating the town’s reputation in the wider world. “No one comes to Williston,” he says, “to see the Thomas Chittenden statue.” m

most of my life around airplanes, and I know their capabilities.” Though he’d never worked on a plane nearly as large as an Airbus, Downey didn’t doubt his ability to get the job done. “I figured the systems were similar to many planes I have fixed, only bigger and a little more complicated,” says the balding, jovial techie. Downey’s interest in aviation was inherited from his father, who flew fighters in World War II and Korea. Growing up in a constantly uprooted military family, the younger Downey attended schools in four countries and five states; Burlington High School was his 21st, and last. As a young teen, he had learned welding and a variety of other manual skills while serving as an apprentice to the Vermont sculptor Paul Aschenbach. After a brief stint in the Army after high school, Downey earned his own wings at Rutland Airport. He found work in the early ’70s as a pilot ferrying tourists around the Caribbean, and later flew fixed-wing aircraft in support of helicopter inspections of the Alaska pipeline. In Vermont, Downey also worked during those years at Shelburne Farms, where he helped with the initial marketing of its dairy products. He then began spending summers at the Middlebury Airport maintaining small passenger planes. As he gained expertise in airplane components, Downey designed and certified kits for aircraft being converted from passenger service to freight hauling. He also supplied upgraded components for flight data recorders so they could meet new federal aviation requirements. His increasingly successful business afforded Downey the opportunity to purchase damaged airplanes in Vermont and elsewhere. He also bought three buildings at Middlebury Airport — the surprisingly tidy hangar currently houses three private planes in various stages of repair. Vincent and other Chrison specialists have managed over the years to return numerous battered aircraft to the skies, and to nearly their pre-mishap condition. A few years ago, Downey formed a partnership with Paul Page, a Denver entrepreneur with a similar specialty. It was Page who learned about the DHL Airbus in Baghdad with a 5-foot-deep and 20foot-long hole in its left wing. Although Downey estimates the Baghdad airport is about the size of Burlington, he says it’s impossible to obtain even the most basic materials there. “Nothing worthwhile is available at the airport. Nothing — not a light switch, not a quart of oil.” Nor aluminum, the material typically used in repairing airplane wings. Steel, however,

About 7000 pounds of steel was sent to Brown’s Welding in Bristol, Vermont, where it was shaped to specifications and then airfreighted back to Baghdad by DHL. Meanwhile, Downey bought a damaged Pakistan International Airways Airbus that had experienced landing gear and engine malfunctions in March 2004 during takeoff from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Chrison Aerospace is cannibalizing that plane for parts for the DHL jet, which is parked off a runway at Baghdad International. Downey originally thought the Airbus could be ready to fly by late 2004. But the plane’s condition required a special certificate of airworthiness that involved extensive wrangling with U.S. authorities in Germany, New York, Washington, Arizona, Maine and Iraq. The document was finally approved with help from Sen. James Jeffords. The plane has undergone high-speed taxiing tests, during which the condition of one of its engines was judged unsatis-
factory. Downey and Vincent are currently working in Baghdad to retool or replace both engines. The precise timetable and some details of the operation must be kept confidential. Downey says, “We have to assume that everything we say in print can get to the folks in Baghdad. They shot down an airplane once; there’s no reason to assume they wouldn’t try to do it again.� Just last week, a cigarette package lying on the tarmac was found to contain explosives. This ominous breach apparently led American occupation authorities to forbid U.S. government employees from leaving Baghdad International on commercial flights until further notice. By late summer, he suggests, the plane will either be flown out of Iraq or dismantled for parts. The potential for a sizable profit remains, he says, despite the $1 million-plus the partnership has already invested in the Airbus. “Either way, it’s going to be a success,� Downey predicts. “It hasn’t been easy, but if it were easy, there’d be people lining up at the Baghdad airport just waiting to take our places.� m

THE POWER Behind the Throne... Peter Clavelle’s Queen City legacy is spelled
C-E-D-O
story: Cathy Resmer images: Matthew Thorsen
When Peter Clavelle steps down as mayor of Burlington on April 3, he’ll leave a long list of accomplishments. There are plenty of ways in which he and the Progressives — his party until he signed on as a Democrat in 2003 — have transformed the city. Most of his greatest successes, and some of his most glaring stumbles, are in some way connected to the Community and Economic Development Office, a much misunderstood, quasi-governmental entity with a big mission. What will CEDO look like now? Incoming Mayor Bob Kiss is a THE STAFF AT THE CENTER FOR COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS
Progressive, but he hasn’t supported everything that CEDO and Clavelle have proposed. And will it matter to him that both Clavelle and CEDO director Michael Monte endorsed Democrat Hinda Miller? CEDO was founded in 1983, during Bernie Sanders’ second term as mayor. Clavelle served as its first director. He left the job to become mayor in 1989. Except for two years in the early 1990s when Republican
Peter Brownell ran City Hall, every other CEDO director has been a Clavelle appointee. CEDO is an anomaly in city government. Monte calls it a kind of “allpurpose development policy arm for the mayor.” Symbolically, a common inside door links their adjacent offices on the second floor of City Hall. The department’s 24 full-time employees are charged with carrying out the mayor’s and the City Council’s directives regarding community building, affordable housing and economic development. CEDO employees talk to people, set up meetings, and navigate the system to find money from numerous federal and state funding sources. It’s fair to say that CEDO has qui-
etly brokered, birthed or aided nearly every major project in the city over the last two decades. That list includes promoting the growth of the Church Street Marketplace and Waterfront Park; abetting cultural events such as the South End Art Hop; keeping local businesses — such as Seventh Generation and Lake Champlain Chocolates — local; and facilitating organizations such as the Burlington Community Land Trust and Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility. CEDO enforces the city’s affordable housing codes, and helped build the Park Place and Rose Street Coops, as well as the Westlake Residences luxury condos now going up at the corner of Cherry and Battery Streets. It brokered the deal to bring Filene’s to the Burlington Town Center. CEDO also aims to foster civic engagement. It set up the Neighborhood Planning Assemblies to encourage grassroots citizen participation. The Legacy Project, Community Justice Center and the First Response Teams that clean up graffiti are all CEDO programs. Says former Director Diana Carminati, “If you look at what’s vital to a city, informed, engaged citizens need to be as much a part of that as jobs and affordable housing and the availability of daycare.” Not all CEDO initiatives earn applause. Some have stirred significant controversy. CEDO played a huge role in bringing City Market downtown, and missed the mark with proposals to site a multi-modal transportation center on Battery Street and to lease the Moran Plant to the YMCA. The way it’s administered also inspires a certain amount of distrust. CEDO is unlike other municipal entities in that it relies on federal and state grants, funding nearly all its projects at litle or no expense
to the city — and outside the normal budget process. Just under $250,000 of CEDO’s annual $5.1 million comes directly from Burlington taxpayers. Fred Schmidt, founder of Vermont’s Center for Rural Studies, calls the office “masters of match funding.”
“Expansive” is the word Michael Monte uses to describe CEDO’s agenda. At one end of the spectrum is the kind of constituent work being done by Sara Moore, one of CEDO’s 10 AmeriCorps/VISTA volunteers. Moore, 26, is based at the Center for Communities and Neighborhoods, a satellite office above City Market. CEDO founded CCAN in 2004 to house its community development programs — the Community Justice Center, for example. Moore works out of a room full of desks smushed together and cluttered with papers and phones the employees rarely answer — presumably because they’re out talking to real folks in Burlington’s neighborhoods. On a March afternoon, Moore is headed to the Farrington Mobile Home Park in the city’s New North End. She explains her project on the bus ride from Cherry Street. Farrington is one of several neighborhoods in which Moore tackles the vague assignment of “building community.” It’s a challenge in Farrington, which suffers from the “trailer park” stigma, and doesn’t have a community center where residents can gather. Moore spends a lot of time canvassing the neighborhood, making contacts and accumulating what the military might call “human intelligence” about what’s really happening there.
Moore’s latest project is an 18-month calendar to be distributed throughout the park. As the bus chugs down North Street — new sidewalks and lampposts courtesy of the $5 million revitalization project CEDO initiated — Moore explains that each month will feature a picture and an interview with a Farrington resident. It will cost about $150 to produce, money Moore hopes to drum up from advertising. “From talking to people, you hear about little stories of neighbors helping neighbors,” says Moore. She hopes that sharing these stories will help dispel stereotypes about people who live in the park. “It could be like a community pride thing,” she suggests. Once off the bus, Moore begins knocking on doors. She stops at immaculate homes with plastic flowers out front as well as rickety metal boxes next to piles of rusting junk. Finding participants is a tough job. Behind the first door is an Asian woman who doesn’t speak English. One gray-haired man says he’ll do an interview, but when Moore asks for his phone number, he tells her he doesn’t have a phone. Moore has better luck with Theresa Cameron, who invites her in and offers her a seat on the sofa. Cameron is sitting in a chair close to her TV, watching the “Drew Carey Show.” She and Moore have spoken before. Last year, Moore encouraged her to nominate one of her neighbors for a city leadership award — another CEDO-sponsored program. Cameron did, though the neighbor didn’t win. Still, Moore sees Cameron’s participation as an accomplishment. Cameron says she’d be happy to do an interview for the calen-
dar. “I’ve done a lot, it wouldn’t be boring,” she promises. Then she tells Moore about a spate of serious health problems that have made her unable to work. “Do you feel like you’re in touch with the services you need?” asks Moore. Cameron says yes. Her casual query illustrates Moore’s real mission: to identify and address the unmet needs of some of the city’s most invisible and vulnerable residents.
Meanwhile, Bruce Seifer, CEDO’s assistant director for economic development, is working with a different set of constituents. A 22-year CEDO vet-
publication has won awards from two development organizations. CEDO tries to address the needs of businesses in much the same way it addresses the needs of neighborhoods. Don Schramm, owner of software company Data Systems, remembers how CEDO helped start the Vermont Software Developers Alliance in 2004. Schramm says Seifer dropped by his office to try to interest him in signing up for Burlington Telecom’s new fiber network. But Schramm said that what he really needed was a trade organization. “I told him that there were more than 100 software develop-
Today the Vermont Software Developers Association has 28 members and a board of directors dedicated to helping “promote and grow Vermont software businesses,” according to its website. Last week more than 40 people attended a meeting the group sponsored with Vermont Secretary of Commerce Kevin Dorn. “It was phenomenal,” Schramm says of this two-year process. “And it always had Bruce’s nurturing hand in it.” Schramm is effusive in his praise for CEDO. He’s actually been involved in three different projects with the department. He

That includes finding federal money for a resettled refugee to start his own cab company, as well as helping General Dynamics’ Burlington facility make its transition from a manufacturing site to a research center. Seifer points out that CEDO also offers technical assistance. It’s published a guide to doing business in Burlington that includes all the federal, state and local forms a start-up requires. The

Seifer bought lunch, brought along a facilitator, and took notes. Schramm recalls that most of the 40 or so people in the room had never met. That initial gathering helped them to start networking.

He’s a stakeholder in — and future resident of — a co-housing project that has been trying for years to build in the city. The Burlington Co-Housing Project is on the verge of finalizing a deal to build on land abutting East Avenue. The complicated proposal involves negotiations with the University of Vermont, >> 30A

neighbors on Bilodeau Court and, of course, CEDO. Siting the co-housing project has been difficult — a past attempt to put it on Mansfield Avenue fell through — but this location seems to be a perfect fit. Schramm says that he found out about it from Michael Monte. The city apparently knew the land was coming up for sale. The Burlington Conservation Board wanted to preserve it. And the Legacy Project reflects a desire for the city to incorporate the cooperative co-housing model into new developments. CEDO saw the opportunity and took the initiative to pull the pieces together. “They have ideas,” says Schramm. “They have ways of making things happen.”
Before CEDO was established, city departments were run by commissions that were independent of the mayor and the council. “It was extremely decentralized . . . a balkanization and fiefdom approach to how government was organized,” says Monte, who was one of the office’s first employees; he served as director from 1989 to 1993, and was reappointed to the post in 1999. Bruce Seifer adds that when CEDO was formed, it was with the idea that it shouldn’t merely respond to directives from policy makers and citizens — it should guide and encourage development on its own. “We’d had 30 years of needs assessment. This was a time for action,” says Fred Schmidt of Vermont’s Center for Rural Studies. He was a consultant for the city when CEDO was created. Monte clarifies: “It isn’t like, we get the money, I get to
spend it, I chat with the mayor every once in a while. It’s a lot more complex than that.” He points out that a various City Council committees and citizen groups, as well as funding sources, oversee CEDO. But Monte adds that his staff is encouraged to look for opportunities to meet the needs they encounter. Case in point: Last fall, social-service agencies and CEDO’s AmeriCorps/VISTA volunteers noted an increasing number of struggling African refugees in Burlington’s neighborhoods. Beth Ruzansky, a community development specialist at CCAN, found Lajiri Van Ness-Otunnu, a woman who would be an ideal liaison to that community and who would be willing to work as an A/VISTA. Ruzansky hired Otunnu, and matched her with the all-volunteer Association of Africans Living in Vermont, which desperately needed administrative support. Now Otunnu works for CCAN, though she spends most of her time interacting with African refugees and immigrants for the AALV, helping to connect them to social-service agencies and job training resources. Says Monte, “I think people want us to look for those kinds of opportunities.” Maybe not all people. “It has its plusses and minuses,” longtime City Councilor Andy Montroll, a Democrat, says of CEDO’s modus operandi. “I think there’s been some good work done. I also think it’s gone overboard in some cases.” In the recent case of the Moran Plant, CEDO and the mayor claimed it was in the city’s best interest to lease the site to the YMCA. They attempted to seal the deal by
SEVEN DAYS | march 22-29, 2006 | feature 31A
merely passing it through the City Council. By the time it came to the council, says Montroll, “that was a well-developed project. They came to us basically saying, ‘Here’s the project. Are there any details you want to understand before you approve it?’ Well, yes.” Montroll says he’s seen this happen with other CEDO-led initiatives. “People look at it and think, ‘What’s going on there? Why didn’t we learn about this earlier?’” Activist, attorney and former state rep Sandy Baird also objected to the Moran Plant proposal. “I don’t see any evidence of a back-door deal,” she says, “but I don’t think they wanted much public opinion . . . We had to fight with Clavelle just to get it on the ballot.” When the proposal went to a vote, it was defeated in all seven of the city’s wards. “They obviously should have consulted the public more,” says Baird. “They were out of touch with the city. They assumed too much.” Montroll says this is the kind of behavior people expect from a private developer, not a city entity. He would like to see more oversight of CEDO, saying the oversight currently provided by council committees is inadequate. “Some of us have said over the years that there should be a citizen board or commission that oversees it. It’s always been met with resistance.”
Maybe Bob Kiss will change that. In his campaign for mayor, Kiss was also critical of the way the Moran Plant deal transpired. “Something
slipped there,” he says. Kiss would like to promote “more meaningful participation from people in Burlington” around development issues. He says he would put any final decision about the Moran Plant up for a vote. But Kiss isn’t saying what else he’d change at CEDO. He hasn’t yet spoken with Monte about the state of the department. Monte speculates that Kiss will likely continue most of CEDO’s programs and policies. “I don’t expect that they’re going to change dramatically,” says Monte. “I do expect that he would probably emphasize certain things more than Peter has, which is typical of any mayor. He might ask us to do more around livable-wage programs. He might ask us to do more on microlending . . . It’s a question of emphasis more than it’s a complete turnaround or change. That’s my sense of it.” But Monte may not be around to see the change; Kiss will have the option to dismiss the director, whose yearly appointment expires on June 30. Monte says he’d like to stay, despite the fact that he endorsed Kiss’ opponent in the mayoral race. Kiss says he hasn’t considered the matter yet. But the mayor-to-be does praise CEDO. “It’s become an integral part of the city’s ability to shape the future,” he says. “Elements of CEDO are definitely part of the solution, not part of the problem.” Kiss says he looks forward to delving into the details and finding ways to use CEDO to engage citizens. “If we didn’t have CEDO,” he says, “we’d be talking about how much we need it.” m

n the 81 years since Tennessee schoolteacher John Scopes was put on trial for teaching evolution, the tenor of the debate has shifted. Choleric, Bible-thumping creationists have STORY become cool advocates of “intelligent ELISABETH design.” Christian fundamentalists CREAN began a quiet campaign to take over school boards during the Reagan era.

In 1955, playwrights March 23-25, Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee 8 p.m. $10. foresaw the timelessness of the fury over the conclusions Charles Darwin drew from observing those unsuspecting Galapágos finches nearly a hundred years earlier. For the characters and storyline of Inherit the Wind, the authors hewed closely to the historical details of the 1925 Scopes “Monkey Trial.” But in the play’s introduction they sounded this prescient note: “The stage directions set the time as ‘Not too long ago.’ It might have been yesterday. It could be tomorrow.” It is today, as Vergennes’ new community theater company, the Little City Players, showed in an ambitious and spirited production of Inherit the Wind. Director Jeffrey Fox skillfully marshaled an eager cast and used the physical layout of the Opera House imaginatively to conjure a lively “Heavenly Hillsboro, the buckle on the Bible Belt.” Modernized references and props — jets, Wal-Mart, Verizon, Phish, laptops, webcasting — were somewhat jarring (and prob-
ably unnecessary), but served as notso-subtle reminders that the dispute over Darwin rages on. The central drama of the real-life Scopes trial was the clash of legal titans William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow. Bryan, a three-time failed presidential candidate, perceived evolution as posing a threat to Christianity, and traveled the country giving speeches such as “The Menace of Darwinism” and “The Bible and its Enemies.” Darrow, the most famous criminal defense attorney of the era, knew his client faced certain

But at an evening prayer meeting, the fiery Reverend Jeremiah Brown — whose daughter, Rachel, is the teacher’s colleague and girlfriend — goes too far, even for Brady, by calling for God to strike down Cates and “let his soul writhe in anguish and damnation.” Brady cautions the preacher with Solomon’s wisdom from the Book of Proverbs: “He that
How long was the first day of Creation, if God didn’t make the sun until Day Four? Twenty-four hours . . . or 10 million years? Brady stubbornly insists that faith trumps reason. But Drummond argues that even the faithful must agree: Man’s ability to think is God’s greatest gift. “An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral. And the advance of man’s knowledge is more of a miracle than any sticks turned to snakes, or the parting of waters! . . . Why do you deny the one faculty which lifts man above all other crea-

In the play, Bryan becomes Matthew Harrison Brady and Darrow is Henry Drummond. As Act I begins, teacher Bertram Cates is already in jail, unsure how he’s going to defend himself. Hillsboro whips itself into a frenzy anticipating the trial. Moral indignation combines with the enticing prospect of increased business traffic, and enterprising townsfolk hawk Bibles. When Brady arrives, they greet him as a Messiah. Cynical big-city columnist E.K. Hornbeck, of the Baltimore Herald, comes to cast sardonic witticisms
troubleth his own house . . . shall inherit the wind.” This ominous warning hangs over the rest of the play. Brady seems invincible. He is the toast of Hillsboro. The courtroom gallery shouts “Amen” after every point he makes. The judge excludes all of Drummond’s expert scientific witnesses, dismissing their testimony as irrelevant. And yet Brady’s case unravels as Drummond methodically questions the only witness the defense is allowed to call, an expert on the Bible: Brady himself. In a replay of Darrow’s historic confrontation with Bryan, Drummond assails Brady’s certainty in the Bible as literal fact. Did a whale really swallow Jonah?
tures on the earth: the power of his brain to reason?” In the end, the struggle exhausts the combatants and victories are partial, and Pyrrhic, on both sides. Rob Demic as Brady and John Hasen as Drummond handled their demanding roles with vigor and grace. Both actors resisted succumbing to melodrama as the lawyers traded barbs. Hasen — an attorney in real life — played Drummond as a thinking man; his eyes showed him processing ideas before he spoke. He also embodied a slight goofiness, appropriate to the quixotic nature of Drummond’s uphill quest. Demic captured Brady’s self-assurance with a broad smile and proud-shouldered body language. Under Drummond’s
1x4-keys
withering cross-examination, this poise visibly crumbled. As the Reverend Brown, Joe Garofalo portrayed a preacher from the fire-and-brimstone school. His gravely furrowed brow, scowling countenance and growling voice put the fear of God into Hillsboro’s citizens. Newspaperman Hornbeck is the preacher’s citified antithesis: cavalier, sarcastic and defiantly agnostic. Scott Remick played him with a light step and a twinkle in his eye. He was particularly delightful when bantering about the case with a furry monkey puppet. The real star of the Little City production, however, was the gorgeous and inventively transformed Vergennes Opera House. Inherit the Wind requires both town and courtroom sets to be visible at all times. Set designer and technical director Allison Rimmer took out more than half of the usual seats. She reconfigured the remaining chairs on a semicircle of risers, so that the front of the house floor served as the courtroom interior and the stage behind it represented Hillsboro’s town green. Beautifully lit by Neil Curtis, this layout felt both expansive and inviting. Seating the townspeople and jury members among the audience during the trial enhanced the sense of intimacy and engagement. Minimal, elegant furnishings gave the ensemble cast ample room to roam. Director Fox moved traffic well — crowd scenes had a naturalistic feel. The nearly two dozen actors rose to the challenge of spending lots of time on stage and reacting to the lead performers’ dialogue without having many lines of their own. The ensemble worked well together, so fully committed to the story that they seemed as mesmerized by the action as their historical counterparts must have been by Bryan and Darrow in 1925. Many actors created memorable characters from small moments or recurring idiosyncrasies. Ken Wolvington’s Bible-selling Elijah was Hillsboro’s holiest holy roller, with the loudest “Amens” at both the prayer meeting and the trial. As the prim and angular Judge, Stephanie Gallas wielded a thundering gavel. Jamie Watkins played the reluctant witness, high school student Howard Blair, with a charming mix of gawkiness and sincerity. Mark Ciociola’s bailiff Meeker loomed with chiseled authority, while Jay Stetzel brought deadpan hilarity to feed-store clerk and juror George Sillers. There were many bright lights in this Little City debut — spunky actors from teens to seventysomethings, and remarkably polished production elements. The timeliness of the play and the enthusiasm of the Players made for an entertaining evening of community theater. m

In Through the Out Door Music preview: Greg Davis
’
I
ve long admired the work of Greg Davis, a prominent electro-acoustic composer. Last week, I had the opportunity to talk with him. We met at Burlington’s Muddy Waters coffeeSTORY house. I was certain we’d have plenty to CASEY talk about, but unfortunately, Davis REA could only spare an hour; he was on his way to a meditation session at the nearIMAGE by Shambhala Center. MATTHEW With his voluminous, reddish THORSEN beard and soft-spoken demeanor, Davis has the air of a rural sage. He is hosting “Another Side a series of concerts at the Firehouse of Out: John Cage’s Gallery in conjunction with a current Text Pieces and exhibit of the sound-and-sculpture Experimental works of Mike Gordon and his mother Sounds From New England” Marjorie Minkin. But Davis is focused with Greg Davis on avant-garde composer John Cage, a and Nest Material, complex and visionary artist whose Firehouse Gallery, musical theories continue to be Burlington, March 23, 8 p.m. explored nearly 15 years after his death. This week’s event features local experimental collective Nest Material, a band whose sound mutates with each performance. Davis will follow up their set with a reading from Cage’s extensive written canon. The 30-year-old Davis is inspired by Cage’s groundbreaking ideas and methods. Many composers approach orchestration as architecture, painstakingly adding and removing instrumental components. Cage did the opposite, allowing chance elements to shape and direct his experimental scores. A Zen Buddhist, he considered music as a process. In this way, he echoed quantum theories of a universe in which chaos has a hand in our perception of order. A similar sensibility is present in Davis’ own output. Swells of organic sound are manipulated via computer processing. Acoustic instruments such as guitar and bells randomly and gracefully surge and recede. Slow and enveloping, his work could be classified as ambient music, were it not for the occasionally jarring juxtapositions. And while some ambient music can soporific, Davis’ creations bristle with energy. Born and raised in the Chicago area, Davis began his musical career as a hip-hopper, scouring record stores for LPs to sample and manipulate. This early audio experimentation provided a glimpse into the possibilities of sonic deconstruction. Later, Davis studied classical and jazz guitar at Chicago’s DePaul University, and received his Master’s in composition from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. He moved to the Queen City last year. Recently, Davis received glowing marks from taste-making website PitchforkMedia.com for his latest disc, Paquet Surprise. The album, a collaboration with French sound artist Sebastian Roux, is a gorgeous blend of natural and reconstituted audio that alternately clatters and soothes. Although our meeting was brief, Davis was unhurried in conversation, and opened a window into the world of vanguard music making.
SEVEN DAYS: What are your earliest impressions of music? GREG DAVIS: I have some fond memories of rifling through my father’s record collection. He was really into Dylan, and liked blues and jazz a lot. There wasn’t any superweird stuff, but I remember being blown away by some of his music. Like pulling out a Yes record and going, whoa, what the hell is this? SD: When did you first start making music? GD: It was probably in junior high. I was really into the hip-hop of the ’80s, so I started fooling around with turntables and primitive samplers. SD: Were you in any rock-type bands back then? MC: Not really. I had a hip-hop group with some friends. We practiced in the basement. SD: Were you an MC? GD: Yeah. I’d make beats and stuff, and we’d all rap. That was kind of my entry in. But I was also a really avid collector, and sampling went hand in hand with all that. SD: That must’ve exposed you to a lot of new music. GD: It was amazing. I’d look at the back of a De La Soul album, and there’d be a list of all the records that the samples were from. So I’d go find those records, and that in turn branched out to more and more stuff. SD: When did you decide to formally study guitar? GD: The first year I was at DePaul University, I wasn’t in the music school; I was just doing liberal arts studies. At some point I decided that I really needed to be in the music program. So I started taking classical guitar lessons to prepare for the audition, and I made it in. The first half of my time as an undergraduate I was studying both jazz and classical guitar. SD: What did you plan to do with this education? GD: Well, I didn’t really know. That’s why I switched to composition. I didn’t feel that I was good enough of a player to make a living that way. I didn’t particularly like performing, and I wasn’t crazy about learning how to play like Wes Montgomery. At that point I started to develop my own ideas about what kind of stuff I wanted to do. Since I had my own ideas, I figured I should just start writing music. SD: Is your formal training useful in the stuff you currently create? GD: Yeah, definitely. I learned how to write music, and about harmony and theory. I still use things that I learned; if I’m doing an arrangement, I might score it to figure out certain things.
I’m making the kind of music I want to make: I just happen to use computers. GREG DAVIS
SD: You’ve been called one of the founders of electro-acoustic composition, or “laptop folk.” How do you feel about that? GD: It’s hard for me to say. It wasn’t anything I consciously set out to do; it was just the music I was making at the time. I was maybe one of the first people to really start using acoustic instruments with certain kinds of beats and rhythms. But I dropped it really quickly, ’cause I felt that it was pigeonholing. I’m making the kind of music I want to make: I just happen to use computers. And lately I’ve been trying to use digital manipulation as just a color, instead of the dominant sound. SD: When did you become interested in John Cage? GD: My first exposure to his music was in college. I had a philosophy of aesthetics teacher and he devoted a week of his class to Cage. It totally blew my mind. Then I started to read his writings and listen to his music. Since then, I’ve been pretty much obsessed. SD: How did Cage’s work affect your own creative process? GD: Um, immensely! It opened up the world of sound to me and got me thinking that all things are usable for music making. It was about seeing beyond the limits of a certain kind of style and freeing myself up to explore new territories. And working with computers, it’s very easy to combine a sound with any other sound.
SD: Why did you decide to move to Vermont? GD: My girlfriend was going to school in Chicago and after two years we both decided that we really didn’t want to be there anymore. We knew we wanted to move back East, so we came to visit Burlington and it seemed just right. We wanted to be in a smaller town where we could walk everywhere, have a nice community of friends, be close to beautiful nature, have good, organic fresh food available to us and be around politically and aesthetically like-minded folks. All the reasons that make Burlington a really nice place to live. SD: Do you make your living solely from music? GD: Almost. I’m just scraping by from month to month doing various music projects, like touring, mastering work, remixes and selling CDs. I always thought it would get better the longer I stuck at it, but it hasn’t been that way at all. The financial struggle is a bit annoying, but I try to live in the moment and not worry about money issues. As long as I have enough to pay rent, bills and buy food, then I’m all right. I guess instead of seeing the world and sharing my music with people all over the place, I could’ve stayed home and made more money. But that’s no fun. I feel very lucky and blessed to have all of the opportunities that I’ve had so far. m

STRINGS ’N’ THINGS
Modern folk maestros Harvey Reid & Joyce Andersen will play two area shows this week. The first takes place at Hinesburg’s Good Times Café on Wednesday, March 22, with a set at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford the following evening. Highly adaptable and intuitive players, Reid and Anderson’s individual gifts are only strengthened by collaboration. The New England-based Reid has been honing his guitar skills for more than 30 years. The guitarist has released 17 well-received albums on his own Woodpecker Records label. A variety of styles, from bluegrass to classical, is under his nimble-fingered command. Reid was instrumental in the development of the “third hand capo,” a device that allows for open-tuning style configurations without ever touching a peg. In 1980, he penned Modern Folk Guitar, the first college textbook for pickers. The fiercely independent troubadour is a role model to a new generation of acoustic musicians who value integrity over commercialism. New Hampshire-based Anderson has been accompanying Reid in performance since 2000. A gifted fiddler, vocalist and songwriter, she’s at ease with bluegrass, Contemporary folk singer-songwriter Anäis swing, country and Celtic styles. Her versatility nicely Mitchell’s monthly “Transcontinental complement’s Reid’s own protean talent; there’s not AMBER LEMAY Revue” series at Montpelier’s Langdon much musical ground left uncovered by this duo. St. Café has become a major Capital Call the Good Times Café at 482-4444, and the City attraction. The Thursday night event has already brought in such Middle Earth at 222-4748 for more info. songwriting talents as John William Davis, Rachel Ries, Rose Polenzani and Birdie Busch, and there are plenty more performers on JOYCE ANDERSEN & HARVEY REID deck.
FOR THE LOVE OF SONG
“The focus is on really great, innovative songwriting,” Mitchell says. “It’s a chance to bring exceptional artists who I’ve met around the country to the café. If I’m in town, I usually open the show and introduce the act personally.” She’ll do just that in a special Saturday evening set taking place on March 25. Starring hard-to-classify Big Apple songsmith FDR, the show also features a rare acoustic appearance by progressive jazz trio Vorcza. FDR, a.k.a. Felix McTeigue, sounds a bit like Bob Dylan with breakbeats and analog synths. His tunes run from spare, kitchen-sink folk ballads to electro-assisted rockers that are more danceable than your average acoustic strum-fests. “Felix has played in Vermont before, and generated a bit of a following, but hasn’t been around in a year or two,” Mitchell explains. “His new project is super-original.” McTeigue’s latest disc, The New Deal, was born of a marathon songwriting and recording blitz. His goal was to write and record a new tune every day for nearly three months. This led to all-night sessions during
JESS MAGIC & JONNY AQUADORA
MAKING MAGIC It’s been awhile since I’ve heard from local indie-rock multi-instrumentalist Jonny Aquadora. Needless to say, he’s kept busy since relinquishing his percussive perch in Fire the Cannons. In addition to his solo escapades, Jonny is currently performing and recording as “Johnny Sparkle” with bass-and-drum duo Magic Sparkle. The group, whose stated mission is “to bring magic sparkles to Earth,” also features the befittingly named Jess Magic. Magic Sparkle’s lo-fi sound is equal parts punk energy and glam sensuality. According to their bio, the band’s “sticky melodies feel as good hummed while walking through snowdrifts as they do blasted through a stereo at full volume while drinking Bloody Marys on the cliffs of a three-day bender.” I’m not quite ready to test out either theory. Still, the few tunes I’ve heard definitely have an endearingly seedy charm. The band is currently on a mini-tour of the Northeast, which will take ’em to hipster havens in Northampton, MA, and the Big Apple. They’ll return to Vermont for a gig at 135 Pearl with indie cohorts Moder Muff, Colin Clary & the Magogs and Soft Spot on Saturday, March 25. A new music video, directed and shot by filmmaker/musician Rob Koier, can be seen at http://www.MagicSparkle.org.

ROCK ’N’ ROLL RINGERS :: Boston’s The Peacheaters pay tribute to the searing and sophisticated music of The Allman Brothers Band. Taking their name from the Bros’ 1972 classic Eat a Peach, the group evokes both the sound and spirit of their Southern rock heroes. With more than three decades of tunes to choose from, they certainly aren’t hurting for material. The band rambles up to the Rusty Nail in Stowe this Saturday. Bring your own peaches.

reviewthis THE MILKMAN’S UNION, HERE’S HOPING
35TH PARALLEL, CROSSING PAINTED ISLANDS
(Young Scientist Records, CD)
(Self-released, CD) Central Vermont’s 35th Parallel play an invigorating blend of Middle Eastern, Indian and North African music. Their 2003 debut, The Green Vine, was lauded for its compositional adventurousness and lush sonic environs. The latest, Crossing Painted Islands, finds the core duo of rhythm man Gabe Halberg and string multi-instrumentalist Mac Ritchey augmented by a horn section and auxiliary percussionist. The result of this new union is pure sonic sorcery. In the years between Vine and Islands Richey and Halberg have further honed their remarkable musical telepathy. Each plays with a focused passion that perfectly complements the other. Opener “Hepsi Yalandir” begins with a mournful, melodic phrase from Ritchey, answered by Zach Tonnissen’s sonorous sax. Soon the song erupts into a sandstorm of dynamic motifs and Casbah-rocking rhythms. A hypnotic string figure and ambient drone haunt the intro of “Sevani Tsorgnorsner.” Stark and beautiful, the song sashays with painstaking grace. The sharp ping of Halberg’s tabla provides a resonant edge, as Ritchey’s provocative melody cycles through several permutations. The rousing “Uzaz” makes excellent use of the guest musicians. Waves of brass swell like Arabian tides, creating an entrancing sway. Trumpeter Brian Boyes takes a fantastic solo in the song’s middle section, sliding between major and minor tonalities like a pan-global hep cat. Michael Chorney’s sultry baritone sax is given plenty of room to explore on the darkly resplendent “Sallassana Mendillini.” Later, Ritchey combines Middle Eastern modality with bluegrass dexterity on the rousing “Donagan Bar.” Things take an avant-garde turn with “Kou Xiang,” a tune featuring an electronically manipulated instrument of the same name. The song serves as an intermission of sorts; in a bygone era, it’d be time to flip the record. I was particularly struck by “Penumbra,” an evocative study in space and repetition. The song’s interlocking acoustic guitar lines are reminiscent of progressive axemen Adrian Belew and Michael Hedges. A cavernous ambience pervades the track, adding to its meditative mood. “The Deep” features rumbling didgeridoo, processed into a soundscape of alien tone and texture. The klezmer-like “Homunculus” presents a musical tug-of-war between members of the horn section. Full of subtle menace, the tune stumbles and lurches. It’s incredible to have such A-list world music talent right here in Vermont. Islands is nigh-perfect; here’s hoping 35th Parallel get right to work on its follow-up. Don’t miss your chance to hear them live on Friday, Modq-ThePants032206 3/21/06 3:05 PM Page 1 March 24, at Montpelier’s Positive Pie II.
The Milkman’s Union is the nom de rock of 17-year-old Henry Jamison-Root, quite an impressive whippersnapper. The Burlington resident recorded Here’s Hoping in his bedroom over three weeks last summer, playing every note on the album from viola to drum machines, guitars to mandolin. What’s more, the disc is released on his own Young Scientist imprint. Jamison-Root’s talent is impossible to ignore — ubiquitous area songsmiths Colin Clary and Pete Sutherland have already praised his work — and Here’s Hoping is a great primer for the uninitiated. With 11 tracks clocking in at just over three quarters of an hour, the record gives listeners a detailed tour of Jamison-Root’s skills in an easy-to-digest sonic capsule. “Take this heart / From my ribs / ’Cuz love will be the end of me,” Jamison-Root sings on “Parzival” over a backdrop of thudding drums, jangling guitars and sugary background vocals. “Kings or Queens” features some prime mandolin picking and a jaunty, loping melody. “A Flicker” is a high point, a moody, mellow love song accented with flights of mandolin. “News for You” ventures into serious Dylan worship but manages to still sound both charming and original. Here’s Hoping overflows with catchy, hum-along pop hooks, but ultimately it’s Jamison-Root’s trad folk influences that stand out. Like Bright Eyes, the young songsmith melds elements of country and folk with the fiery emotion of a modern teen. But instead of depressive rants, Jamison-Root’s work projects level-headedness that results in a consistent listening experience. This new Vermont talent is worth keeping an eye on. A CD release party takes place on Saturday, March 25, at 3 p.m. at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery.

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 — 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!
Register for Speed Gazing online at www.7Dpersonals.com or call Seven Days at 864-5684. (Registration not necessary for Singles Party.)

A EXHIBIT Charlie Hunter, “Where I Live Now,” postpastoral, post-industrial portraits of Vermont; and H. Keith Wagner, “Collections: Pods, Seeds & Stones,” handmade metal sculptures. Pine Street Artworks, Burlington. Through April 13.
ARTWORK “Pod” by H. Keith Wagner
PHOTO Marc Awodey
complementary pair of artists is currently presenting dual exhibitions at Burlington’s Pine Street Artworks. The gallery aptly describes “Where I Live Now,” by Bellows Falls designer and painter Charlie Hunter, as “postpastoral, post-industrial portraits of Vermont.” The other show, entitled “Collections: Pods, Seeds & Stones,” is composed of sculptures and assemblage works by landscape architect and sculptor H. Keith Wagner of Ferrisburgh. Both artists seem to discover, rather than simply create, images. Both also reexamine the “post-pastoral” world in similarly somber, muted hues. Hunter presents 20 monochromatic landscapes, and his lines of perspective are so perfect that it’s surprising to learn he paints en plein air. A viewer’s first thought may be: These have got to come from slides. But Hunter is just that good — really a master landscapist. The spatial design of “Mill Street Railroad Signal” is particularly complex, as thin wires crisscross the vertical composition behind the perfectly drawn heavy hardware of the signal light. An expanse of low rooflines fills the lower third of the piece. Hunter describes his palette as consisting of “warm white, a cool white, unbleached titanium, Naples yellow, transparent red oxide and ultramarine blue.” The paintings look much sim-
pler, as if they are made up of rawumber details described on pale yellow-white backgrounds. The chromatic richness of Hunter’s actual harmonies imparts subtle variations of depth and atmosphere. “Farm and Sky” is nearly all atmosphere. Hunter employed wider contrasts in value for the tall, vertical painting, and, while it’s not exactly more colorful than his other pieces, there’s a wider delineation of warm and cool grays. That’s quite effective for the subject, as a heavy thundercloud rolls over mountains and pasture on a warm summer’s day. Hunter’s largest piece in the show is the 48-inch-square “Closed for the Winter (Burlington Ferry in Snow Squall).” Silhouettes of the dock’s port facilities sit atop a high horizon line, with curved tire tracks sweeping toward a vanishing point. The curves enliven and deepen the picture plane. Sculptor Wagner explains in his artist statement that he is “inspired by the agrarian landscape of my childhood.” He is known around the region for creating sculptural spheres from metal, and three of them are in this exhibition. While they are appealing, his non-spherical work is far more original. “Pod” is a weirdly organic, conical form made of rusted steel. It’s about 3 feet high and contains spikes within
its tubular core. Wagner welded and inscribed lines over “Pod” that echo the rhythms of its interior spikes. “Vessel” stands at human scale, just about 6 feet tall, and has more of a seed form. Small sections of screen appear on the four outer surfaces of the bulbous body, and a small pyramidal tip rides atop it. Two thin bars, extending down to flat, square plates on the floor, support the work. “Vessel” seems like an out-of-context relic from a closed factory — something that once had a function but is now a strange object of curiosity. The three sparse assemblages in Wagner’s “Collection” series appear to hold smaller curios from the natural world. Each is a horizontal, wallmounted box, with minimalist specimens of stone, bone, bits of metal and other objects equally spaced within them. “Collection 1” holds six pieces of dug-up industrial detritus, and “Collection 3” includes the skull of . . . something. Wagner’s pieces seems to be assembled from dusty natural-history treasures gathered from an old box, say, in the basement of the Smithsonian. Charlie Hunter suggests we think of his paintings “as photographs pulled out of a box 40 years from now.” Fortunately, we don’t have to wait that long to discover either of these bodies of work. m

Mild Abandon
“And in the event of a global calamity, this wing of the building will be reserved for employees who would prefer to meet the end in a wild display of pleasure and ecstasy.”
the straight dope
by CECIL ADAMS
all worthwhile human knowledge
Dear Cecil, Do you ever wonder: In those houses built strategically next to graveyards, are the occupants drinking residual waste products (or atoms that the body is composed of ) of those buried next to them? Think about it — if they’re drinking well water, coffins begin to break down over time, right? Is it plausible to assume they are consuming their beloved deceased? Just something I have always thought about. H.M., via email Get a grip, champ. You bring up a subject that most people most of the time are happy not to think about. Every so often, however, some innocent realizes: Wait — cemeteries are full of dead bodies! Gross! Although I have to say your liquid cannibalism angle is an innovative twist. Years ago people seemingly had greater cause for concern. In 1839 a British surgeon named George Alfred Walker published a book entitled Gatherings from Grave Yards, Particularly Those of London, With a Concise History of the Modes of Interment Among Different Nations From the Earliest Periods, and a Detail of Dangerous and Fatal Results Produced by the Unwise and Revolting Custom of Inhuming the Dead in the Midst of the Living. Walker wasn’t troubled so much by the stray atoms that might work loose from a cadaver as by the good-size chunks — London graveyards were so crammed with bodies that grave diggers were frequently obliged to hack through old and not-so-old coffins in order to make space for new ones. Not only was the pileup of putrefying bodies disgusting and disrespectful of the departed, Walker felt, it led to debility and disease among those still present. He did mention contaminated well water in his writings, but his real concern was “the deadly emanations of human putrescence” or “malaria” (literally, bad air), which he suggested might be a cause of “typhus fever” among other things. It wasn’t: The different forms of typhus are transmitted by insects, while typhoid fever is caused by waterborne bacteria. Nonetheless, during the 19th century municipal officials throughout Europe and North America were sufficiently alarmed by such warnings that they outlawed the opening of new cemeteries within city limits and sought to relocate old ones to the hinterlands. Today we know that methane and other gases released by decomposition, while not entirely benign, don’t cause disease. As you rightly suspect, the real danger, if there is one, is groundwater contamination. Local regulations typically forbid burials below the water table, specify minimum distances between wells
and burial grounds, and so on. For a long time most people were content to leave it at that, but over the past decade or so a few scientists and environmental officials in various parts of the world have felt moved to investigate just how serious a public-health threat cemeteries actually were. In general they found that (a) remarkably little research had been done on the subject, (b) elevated levels of contaminants were detected at some grave sites, (c) contamination generally decreased significantly the farther you got from the sites, and (d) overall there was little evidence that cemeteries had much impact on groundwater. Australian hydrogeologist Boyd Dent, an expert on cemeteryrelated environmental issues, put the matter bluntly in the title of a 1998 paper: “Cemeteries: A Special Kind of Landfill.” In other words, cemeteries represent a manageable risk. All that having been said, the last word on the subject is a long way from written. Some researchers wonder whether embalming fluid is dangerous, the older stuff in particular — in the late 1800s morticians commonly pumped cadavers full of solutions containing arsenic, sometimes as much as two pounds of it per body. The “green burial” movement, a dust-to-dust approach in which the dead are interred without embalming fluid and sometimes without coffins, is likewise apt to drive more study, as advocates attempt to placate the squeamish public. On a related matter, some public-health types are trying to make the media and the public understand that dead bodies aren’t inherently dangerous and thus there’s no need for mass burials following natural disasters, which make it impossible to identify the dead. Finally, let’s face it, there’s a lot about what happens after they lay you in the cold, cold ground that we just don’t know. Boyd Dent, I notice, has been publishing quite a few papers lately about adipocere, also known as grave wax. For reasons still poorly understood, corpses don’t invariably decompose into potting soil as many assume. Instead, the fat tissue, usually in the presence of moisture, sometimes turns into a solid, soaplike substance that makes the cadaver look like something you’d find in a wax museum, albeit the George Romero wing. The Internet being the boon to humanity that it is, you can find numerous full-color examples in milliseconds by Googling adipocere, lest you lack visuals as you contemplate our icky common fate.

V For Vendetta HHHH
D GRAPHIC VIOLENCE McTeigue takes the caped crusader’s story from the page to the big screen with wit and style.
on’t you hate it when the historical timeframes in which futuristic works are set pass by? It makes one feel so old. I remember, for example, when the year 1984 seemed unthinkably far off. And then, the next thing you know, it’s ancient history. Ditto with 2001. I felt a similar pang on reading that, when Alan Moore and David Lloyd conceived V For Vendetta in the ’80s, the futuristic action in their graphic novel unfolded in the far-off year 1997. For the purposes of the script for their big-screen adaptation, Andy and Larry Wachowski of Matrix fame have now recalibrated the historical setting to 2020. Which sounds like a long way off until you consider it’s only three presidential elections from now. The next thing you know, we’ll be looking back at that one, too. Through bifocals. The future depicted in the brothers’ latest is one in which the United States has collapsed into chaos under the weight of terrorism, plague, civil war and years of dubious foreign policymaking. It’s a troubled backdrop for the real story, the totalitarian state the United Kingdom has become and the master plan a masked man has hatched to bring it to its knees. Yup, a masked man. And, like so many individuals who make that particular fashion choice, he also favors a cape, outré headwear, the color black and the martial arts. Hugo Weaving — Mr. Smith in the Matrix films — stars as a mysterious revolutionary known as V. His mask is not just any mask, though. It is modeled on the face of infamous Brit saboteur Guy Fawkes, who in 1605 was caught red-handed as he prepared to blow up Parliament using a sizable stash of gunpowder he’d transported into a tunnel under the structure. Fawkes was tortured and hanged. His memory is perpetuated by a famous rhyme and an annual Guy Fawkes Day, November 5, on which he is often burned in effigy. V has his own plans for Parliament, and this is where things get thematically dicey. He taps into the government-controlled television channel and invites his fellow citizens to join him outside the place in exactly one year to witness and celebrate his obliteration of it. “The world doesn’t need a building,” he reasons, “It needs an idea.” The idea of blowing up buildings to make a political point is, of course, touchy stuff in our post-9/11 culture, and the fellow doesn’t stop there. He also plans to murder many of the regime’s high-ranking officials. What distinguishes him from your standard-issue terrorist, however, is that he has personal reasons for doing all this as well as philosophical or political ones. Decades earlier, we eventually learn, he was imprisoned in some sort of state detention center for undesirables where Mengele-style experiments were performed on the inmates. To
SHORTS add insult to injury, the place burned down, and the man who would be V was turned into a human s’more in the process. Many of the people who ran the place went on to occupy powerful positions in the government — and a place on the reinvented revolutionary’s hit list. I’m running out of room and I haven’t even gotten to the movie’s other star. Natalie Portman gives one of the most compelling performances of her young career in the role of Evey, an oblivious young employee of the government TV outlet whose chance encounter with V leads to her political and spiritual awakening. They happen to meet one evening when she’s out past curfew on her way to a friend’s home. Secret police detain her and commence what is clearly going to be an ugly gang rape. V steps out of the shadows — a black whirlwind of flying knives, lethal ballet and Shakespearean quotes — to save the day, or rather the night. Their fates become entwined when a government investigator (Stephen Rea) uncovers Evey’s connection to the enemy of the state, and she becomes a target herself. At one point, she takes refuge in V’s elaborate underground “shadow gallery,” and at another attempts to turn him in. Like most relationships between beautiful young women and masked men who live in subterranean lairs, theirs is a complicated but never uninteresting one. The film is similarly complicated, not to mention cheeky, provocative and captivating. Helmed by longtime Wachowski assistant director James McTeigue, it’s a visually dazzling work with a surprisingly potent emotional core. The movie refracts an array of cinematic and historical touch points, from A Clockwork Orange, 1984, The Phantom of the Opera, Brazil, Zorro and “Benny Hill” to ripped-from-the-headlines riffs on religious fundamentalism, government media spin, domestic surveillance, suicide bombers and Abu Ghraib. I’m not sure there’s ever been a big-screen blender quite like it. By the time you file out to blasting strains of the Stones’ “Street Fighting Man,” you may well feel as though you’ve heard a call to action. Just what form of action the Wachowski brothers are proposing, and against whom it should be taken, is the tantalizing trick question. The controversy it will spark certainly won’t hurt ticket sales. I wouldn’t get sucked into the whole “Hey, they’re advocating terrorism, aren’t they?” debate, however. Let’s remember, this is a comic-book movie with bad guys doing bad deeds and a good guy making sure something bad happens to them in the end. The Wachowskis knew the subject of terrorism would open people’s eyes. The better to see the parallels between the UK of 2020 and the U.S. of today. They don’t want anyone to blow up a building. They just think a little change might be a good idea. m
16 BLOCKSHHH Bruce Willis stars in Richard Donner’s action-adventure about the unlikely bond that develops between a petty criminal and the cop who’s supposed to escort him to his grand-jury testimony.

(109 min, PG) BALLETS RUSSESHHHH From filmmakers Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine comes this documentary about the lives and careers of several pioneering artists — now in their seventies, eighties and nineties — who gave birth to modern ballet.

Green Screen says at one point in the film, “There will never be a time when there isn’t something to yell about, speak about, teach about, hope about.” Mount Holly resident Robert De Cormier will appear after the last screening on noon Saturday at City Hall Arts Center. Expect the VSO Chorus conductor and longtime arranger for Peter, Paul & Mary to discuss Leventhal’s legacy. The fest, running through Sunday, offers a potpourri of fiction and nonfiction pictures from around the globe. The Syrian Bride — which Israeli director Eran Riklis co-wrote with Suha Arraf, a Palestinian journalist — is a narrative tale
There will never be a time when there isn’t something to yell about, speak about, teach about, hope about. MUSICIAN RONNIE GILBERT, ISN’T THIS A TIME!
moted during his five-decade career: The Weavers, Theodore Bikel, Leon Bibb, Arlo Guthrie and Peter, Paul & Mary. When these idealists walk onto a stage, nostalgia merges with political passion that’s expressed through their music and their moxie. Seeger’s “Guantanamera,” for example, is a 1961 tune that may resonate in an entirely new way now, given the alleged abuse of detainees at the U.S. naval base on the southeastern tip of Cuba. His feisty Weavers colleague Ronnie Gilbert
about the cruel absurdity of hostile nations. It’s also about a dysfunctional extended family living in the Golan Heights, a Syrian territory annexed by Israel almost four decades ago. The Salmans are caught between traditional Druze customs and modern realities; they’re equally trapped in a no-man’s-land between borders guarded by soldiers on both sides. Mona (Clara Khoury), the title character, is ambivalent about her impending arranged marriage to a distant cousin she’s
never met, only seen on TV. He is a sitcom star in Damascus. After the wedding there, she will never be allowed to return home because Israel and Syria do not recognize each other. As it is, a United Nations official named Jeanne (Juli-Anne Roth) must try to broker the mindlessly bureaucratic immigration process required before the couple can get together. Mona’s older sister Amal (the radiant Hiam Abass) has an old-world husband who disapproves of her wearing pants. She encourages their daughter Mia to follow her dreams, no matter what. The elderly Salman patriarch, Hammed (Makram Khoury), is an activist recently released from jail. His two sons are a disappointment to him: The Moscow-based Hattem (Eyad Sheety) wed a Russian doctor rather than a local girl. Marwan (Ashraf Barhoum) is a dapper womanizer with shady business dealings in Italy. When the Salmans reunite in advance of Mona’s nuptials, which none of them can actually attend, it’s a tragicomic tangle with topical bite and human tenderness.

On The New York Times bestseller list for more than three years, The Celestine Prophecy dazzled readers by combining Indiana Jones-like adventure with a New Age sensibility. The James Redfield novel, about a search for ancient mystical scrolls in the Peruvian rainforest, has been adapted as a movie opening in mid-April. And Middlebury is among only 10 American locales privy to a sneak preview: The Great Life Retreat Center will present the film on March 31, with a repeat on April 7. Both 7 p.m. shows will be held at the Champlain Valley Unitarian Church. For $10 reserved tickets, call 388-7478. “There has been a series of synchronicities that led me to organize this event,” explains Bill van Zyverden, a “holistic” lawyer and co-founder of the Retreat Center. He used to assign the spiritual saga as a textbook for students in his communications and ethics classes at Community College of Vermont. Actor Patrick Small — in a Celestine cast that includes Annabeth Gish, Jurgen Prochnow and Hector Elizondo — later met van Zyverden, told him about the big-screen version, and helped arrange the advance peek. “Life really guides us along,” he says with holistic certainty, “which is a message in the film.” 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.
It’s hard to fix a broken appliance without a DRINK. It takes a DRINK to make it over the Green Monster. Careless criminals spend some time in the DRINK. When you break your arm, a DRINK is almost mandatory. Lots of artists and lots of brokers live on DRINK island. The Pennsylvania Dutch always wear DRINK clothes. A farmer can handle a single DRINK, but a million can ruin him. Anyone born in Belarus is automatically a DRINK. Bikers sometimes carry their old ladies in a DRINK. Mickey Mouse never showed up in DRINK cartoons. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS CIDER. 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: Name those drinks.

n audience at the 2004 Toronto International Film Festival experienced a rare treat. Octogenarian Pete Seeger and other surviving members of The Weavers, a legendary folk group blacklisted during the McCarthy Era, performed a few rousing songs from their extensive repertoire. The mini-concert followed a documentary about New York impresario Harold Leventhal that’s also on tap this weekend at the Green Mountain Film Festival in Montpelier. Isn’t This a Time! focuses on another live show, held a year earlier at Carnegie Hall, with many of the acts that Leventhal — who died in October at age 86 — pro-

Below are six of Hollywood’s best-known actors. Their faces are unmistakable, but less recognizable, perhaps, is what five of these six performers have in common professionally. What we’d like from you this week is the name of the star who doesn’t belong, along with the reason why.

GETTING READY FOR SPRING PLANTING...
ROASTED CORN & KIWI SALAD 1 T vegetable oil • 2 C frozen corn 1/4 t salt • 2 T finely minced red onion 4 kiwi, peeled and cut in cubes 1/2 red pepper, minced crushed red pepper to taste • 2 T lemon juice 1 T balsamic vinegar • 1 cup canned canelloni beans salt & pepper to taste Heat oil in a large non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Add corn, 1/4 t salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until browned. Place in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well, season to taste and serve. Serves 4.
We’ve assembled a fantastic collection of pots and planters by Campo de’ Fiori. Their terra cotta is hand turned or shaped by artisans who have been practicing their craft for generations. The pottery undergoes an aging process in greenhouses, resulting in the appealing look of old English pottery. And the moss that covers each pot is real. When a plant is watered, the terra cotta wicks moisture to the moss and it continues to grow, forming a lush green surface on the pot. You may prefer to simply use the pots as you have discovered them, with the moss in a dormant state. Either way, they’re beautiful, functional and perfect!

scene@”LEARN TO PLAY MAH-JONGG” DOROTHY ALLING MEMORIAL LIBRARY, WILLISTON, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 10 A.M. When I was a boy, my mom had a weekly mah-jongg game with three Italian women who lived in the neighborhood. On nights she hosted the game, I’d be upstairs getting ready for bed as the women arrived, with their coiffed hair, manicured nails and thick perfume. Mah-jongg still conjures memories of nodding off to the sound of clacking tiles, snapping gum, gabbing mouths and fingernails digging into a candy bowl, which was off-limits to my sister and me. When I arrived at the Dorothy Alling Library for a beginners’ mah-jongg lesson, I met Sharon Rosenthal, another participant whose mother had also played the game. “There has to be a bowl of candy,” she remarked, inexplicably. “And when you get home from school, your mom says, ‘Don’t touch!’” Eerie, I thought. Seated around three tables were 12 women, retirees mostly, who’d signed up to learn this ancient Chinese game, which resembles dominoes but is actually more like gin rummy. Ben MogerWilliams, editor of the Williston Observer, was their teacher. He’d learned mah-jongg while living in China. “It’s kind of a drinking game,” he said, “or something that families play around New Year’s, like poker.” The women unwrapped new mah-jongg sets and spread out the tiles. Moger-Williams explained that the pieces with Chinese characters are “honor tiles” — some “dragon,” some “winds.” Those with bamboo and dots, are “suit” tiles. “Flower” tiles represent the four seasons. The women squinted at the tiles and tried to decipher their symbols. Is this a flower or a dragon? A wind or a bamboo? There was some confusion, since one mah-jongg set was American and another Taiwanese. One woman complained, “We only have two seasons here!” A common lament in Vermont, I thought. “The ‘One Bamboo’ is really a chicken,” Moger-Williams explained, only adding to the mounting bewilderment. “Is there a reason for that?” someone asked. “Uh, probably,” he muttered. By 11:15, mah-jongg was only slightly less mysterious to me than it had been when I was 7. I noticed the box for the American version. It said, “Made in China.” No mystery there.

Freestyle skiing was first organized as a sport in Canada in 1974, and gained Olympic status in the 1990s. Moguls skiers swoop down a slope with car-sized bumps, making midair maneuvers from specially constructed launch pads. Aerial competitors fly onto jumps at 35-plus mph, then soar up to 50 feet while turning gut-wrenching somersaults. Members of the U.S. Freestyle Olympic Ski Team, including 2006 moguls bronze medalist Toby Dawson (pictured) and Norwich, Vermont, resident Hannah Kearney, headline a downtown Rutland parade that kicks off the air-catching at the U.S. Freestyle Championships. Saturday afternoon, New Orleans musical master Ivan Neville and his band Dumpstaphunk dive into hometown r&b, followed by fireworks. Everyone gets points for style.

There, dance songs called son jarocho combine Spanish, African and indigenous traditions in unlimited verses with ad-libbed messages, insults and jokes— sort of like rap, Latino-cowboy-style. Son de Madera and Los Cojolites (pictured) serve up the genre’s spicy split-rhythms in a Veracruz double bill, with guitars, harp, tambourine and the traditional quijada, or donkey jawbone. Zapateado heel dancers direct the music with percussive stomps on special cedar platforms. Trouble sitting still? Post-show, let off steam at an energetic dance-jam fandango featuring both bands.
SON DE MADERA & LOS COJOLITES Friday, March 24, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 8 p.m. $22-30. Post-concert fandango at FlynnSpace, 10 p.m. $8. Info, 863-5966. http://www.flynncenter.org

RODENT WRANGLERS
Woodchuck, Vermont, might seem too silly to call home, but it’s a great place to visit. The fictional town is the setting for Woodchuck Theatre’s Ground Hog Opry, a home-grown variety show from the imaginary on-air booth of radio station WSMM (Well Shut My Mouth). Co-hosted by dairy farmer and actor George Woodard and lawyer-turned-comedian Al Boright, the Opry gives a nod to Nashville with down-home music and Vermont political humor. Noteworthy posse members include multi-instrumentalist John Drury and Vermont Supreme Court Justice Marilyn Skoglund, who plays guitar. Like its namesake critter, the lauded vaudeville act has been popping up in different locations statewide — remaining runs include Hyde Park this weekend, and Waterbury the next. Catch it if you can.

DOUBLE TROUBLE
sport
Mistaken identity often crops up in Shakespeare’s plays, but nowhere is it more pronounced than in The Comedy of Errors. A husband and wife are separated at sea, each with one of their twin sons and twin servants. Each trio believes the other has perished. A Greek-themed farce ensues, and many years and plot twists later, everyone ends up in the same city. But before a happy family reunion can happen, the two sets of twins wreak havoc among the citizenry, since each boy seems to be everywhere at once. The theater department of St. Michael’s College stages the play, with identical-twin freshmen Kevin and Andrew Parise playing one look-alike pair.

MARCH 23-29
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Seventh-
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Many of us
grader Michael Kawa’s poem is about the official face he shows the world. “My mask helps me when I am scared and when I am embarrassed,” he writes. “My mask tells me to act like someone else when I want to act like myself. My mask tells me I should go on the Big Dipper roller coaster when I really want to go on the little rides. My mask hides me from girls and fights. My mask hides my mad mind.” Now I invite you to write about your own mask, Aries. It’s the perfect time to take inventory of your persona — the official face you show the world — and to make changes to get it into closer alignment with the person you actually are in your depths.
who were born under the sign of Cancer have always felt trepidation about the fact that we’re stuck with the same name as a disease. A while back I asked my readers to suggest alternate possibilities. One of the best ideas came from amateur astronomer Michael Bird. He said that within the constellation of Cancer the Crab there is a batch of 350 close-knit stars that are collectively known as the Beehive Cluster, and also as Praesepe, which is the Latin word for “manger.” Either “Beehive” or “Manger” would serve our tribe well in the coming weeks. The astrological omens say it’s time to give birth to and nurture a new brainchild, preferably with the support of an organized hive of our busy, buzzing allies.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even if you don’t
Season of Dreams begins now. While you’re sleeping, you’ll be working harder than usual as you dive deeper into your subconscious mind in quest of mythic stories that can transform your waking life. Here’s a list of some of the dream themes you might encounter, along with possible interpretations. Dreams of the circus coming to town mean that maybe you should indulge a barely acknowledged need to do something that seems out of character. Dreams of having a picnic in a tree house may mean you’d benefit from not having your feet planted so firmly on the ground. Dreams of doing something unethical that makes everyone mad mean that you should explore ethical, constructive ways to express your rebellious urges. Dreams of fighting a king or queen who stole money from you might mean you should fight back against an authority that ripped you off.
literally take a journey to a distant place in the coming weeks, you will nevertheless be like a stranger in a strange land. I suggest that you adopt an attitude similar to that of an explorer. Here’s a list of traveling instructions from Patrick Harpur, author of The Philosophers’ Secret Fire: A History of the Imagination. “Don’t believe everything you have been told, either for good or ill. Observe local customs; respect local gods. Talk less than you listen. Don’t expect the inhabitants to speak your language; rather, try and speak theirs. Try to see as well as sightsee. Be polite but firm; take advice but do not be gullible. If in doubt, smile. Do not laugh at the natives, but do not be afraid to laugh. Do not be superior or aloof, but don’t try to dress like a native. Don’t join in the dancing unless you have learned the steps.”
GEMINI
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The paradoxes
(May 21-June 20): If you’re doing work you love, Gemini, your prestige will rise in the next six months. If you’re doing work you merely tolerate, you’ll experience a sharp increase in inspirations about how to remedy the situation. In the event that you actually hate your current form of employment, I believe you’ll face a crisis that will force you to either quit or negotiate significant changes. But whether your gig suits you pretty well or not so much, I encourage you to start whipping up some magic that will move you closer to your dream job.
are coming! The paradoxes are coming! It won’t be enough merely to solve a few amusing brainteasers. You’ll have to find a way to feel perfectly fine as you get squeezed by industrial-strength contradictions that might make a less intelligent person feel crazy. Can you do it? Is it possible for you to remain poised and magnanimous in the face of the pressure to think impossible thoughts and feel indescribable feelings? Can you see how all three sides of every story are equally valid? The potential rewards are substantial: a crispy

epiphany, a funky treasure, and the equivalent of a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you own a Jaguar luxury automobile, it’s an excellent time to redo the leather interior. If you live in a trailer park on the other side of the railroad tracks, the moment is right to cover up the faux wood paneling with fancy wallpaper. And if you don’t fall into either of those categories, meditate on how you might redecorate the inside of your world, from the physical environments you frequent to the interior walls of your imagination.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I wear my hair long, like Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Jesus Christ and the majority of the men who have lived in the Western world during the last two millennia. So even though I’m at odds with the cultural trends of the last 100 years, I’m right in alignment with more enduring ideas about masculine fashion. Try something similar, Scorpio: Meditate on how it might benefit you to get out of sync with prevailing attitudes about what’s right and good and true and cool, and instead be in style with more timeless and abiding modes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Neoteny” is a biological term that means the retention of juvenile characteristics into adulthood. For instance, certain small dogs with big eyes and shortened muzzles have a resemblance to puppies even after they’re full-grown. Most of us humans have personality characteristics that are for all intents and purposes neotenous. They’re throwbacks that may make us appear cute and cuddly, but that on the other hand keep us in a state of arrested development. It’s prime time to ask yourself if you have qualities like that, Sagittarius. If so, do you really want to keep cultivating them?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s the Introspection Season, Capricorn. I encourage you to write copiously in a journal. Here are several themes that would be fruitful to explore: (1) Your most amazing qualities and your worst qual-
ities. (2) The hundred things you want to accomplish in the next 30 years. (3) Your bitter complaints, horrendous pain and lost dreams. (4) Everything you love and everything that’s beautiful and everything that works. In addition to writing your heart out and your ass off, paste in cut-out pictures from magazines, draw pictures, and ask friends to write messages to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Once the software and brain implants are developed, we’ll all be able to benefit from the kind of instant education that was at the disposal of the dissident heroes of the three films collectively known as The Matrix. Want to learn how to pilot a helicopter? The entire skill set will be downloaded into you in a few minutes. Planning a journey to Tanzania? You’ll become a fluent speaker of Swahili in time for your departure. The technology is still years away, Aquarius, but in the coming weeks you’ll be able to enjoy the closest current approximation to it. You’ve entered the super-learning season.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I don’t know why we are here,” wrote philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, “but I’m pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.” His feelings contrast sharply with that of the poet Robert Bly, who edited a book of sacred poems entitled The Soul Is Here for Its Own Joy. Which of these two approaches are you inclined to follow, Pisces? I believe you’re at a crossroads: The direction you choose to endorse and emphasize now will shape your destiny for a long time.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, “Bob” and I have been married 19 years. For years we never fought, but lately it’s all we do. Our children are 18, 17 and 15. We have always worked hard at our jobs and at home. We’ve been stressed out and exhausted a lot of the time, but we got along great. Now that the kids are more self-sufficient, Bob hardly ever talks to me, and when he does, I fly off the handle and we end up at each other’s throats. I’m afraid that our marriage is at risk. What can I do? Freaking Out in Fairfax Dear Freaking, First of all, you need to figure out that anger. Through all those years of putting your job and your family first, you may have neglected your own needs, and are looking to Bob for strokes he’s not used to giving you. And he may be feeling the same way. You two need to learn how to listen to yourselves — and then to each other. A good couples counselor can help you do both, and then figure out where you want to take it from there. Love, Lola

Midnight Let’s take the midnight train to love-ville! Hey there to all of you. I am Midnight and I’d love to burn the midnight oil with you in our cozy home. I am a 7-year-old black female long haired Maine Coon cat. Aren’t I just gorgeous? In addition to my good looks, I am also extremely sweet and loving. I really enjoy being brushed – good thing with this beautiful mane. I am talkative from time to time, but only when I have something important to say. I really love finding sunny spots to relax in or windows to look out of. Oh, and your lap would make a nice, cozy spot to curl up in too! A family with gentle and respectful people ages 5 and up would be wonderful. Please know that I take a little bit of time to feel comfortable being picked up, but once I am comfortable, I do enjoy feeling loving arms around me. I have lived with another cat and was bonded to her, but she passed away. Maybe you have the love I need to bring complete joy and fun back into my life? Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
