EGO LOGICAL Perhaps Barry Snyder should read his own criticism of Million Dollar Baby more closely and spend less time reacting to Rick Kisonak’s review [“Letters,� February 9]. To criticize this movie based upon some charge of “egomania� misses the point. The same egomania charge can be made about the films of Spike Lee and Woody Allen, just to name a couple of our current actor/directors. It takes a larger-than-life ego to get quality films made in this world of sequels, remakes and “blockbusters.� If Mr. Snyder had actually spent more time examining the film, he would have found a challenging movie that asks some hard questions about when a life is fully lived. This is a character study that isn’t afraid to ask questions that most Hollywood films don’t ask. Even if you do not like the filmmaker, I would hope that this film is seen on its own merits, and I would suggest that Mr. Snyder might want to actually respond to the film and not attack the filmmakerAMor reviewer.

tion is that it does not matter how egomania influences art, it’s the work itself that counts. Gary Lambert RICHMOND

PERFECT STORM? Thank you for the article on some recent activism around GLBT issues [“Local Matters,” February 9]. I did, however, get a chuckle out of one part of the article. I was there that Monday, when Free To Be “stormed” the board meeting, and what actually happened was, we were incredibly organized and

totally silent. We filed into Memorial Lounge with signs hanging around our necks, and when the meeting started, we placed gags over our mouths until one from our ranks was given the opportunity to speak for all involved. That’s hardly “storming.” Jaska Bradeen BURLINGTON

HEY, JOE Thank you for your “Ode to Big Joe” [Burrell] issue [February 9]. I’m honored to have my quoted comments about Joe included. I

wanted to add a couple of other things. First, Big Joe was the seasoned old-school musician who knew when and when not to play, as well as what and what not to play. A lot of young music “heroes” could learn by paying attention to this. Joe worked great in a band because of his knowledge and practice of the “whens” and “whats.” It came from his long career of ensemble playing — like his stint with the B.B. King Orchestra. And even though he was the center attraction with the Unknown Blues Band, he totally

respected the other players and let them “speak” without interruption when it was their turn. When it was his turn, Joe “said” what he needed to and no more. One story I heard long ago — don’t know if it’s true, but it sure could be — was about the Unknowns being on a break and Paul (“Little Pee Wee Jr.”) Asbell and Chuck (“Piano Whitey”) Eller were talking techno stuff about equipment. Big Joe was there with them and it obviously wasn’t his thing. Joe piped up, saying, “When I used to be on break, we talked about women and food.” I love it — now that’s an old-school cat! Danny Coane MONTPELIER

TRACKING “TRACK” To Peter Freyne: When Governor Dean lost the presidential primary and stayed involved in politics, you wrote several columns chiding him for trying to stay relevant. As if the work he was doing organizing people and raising millions of dollars to defeat George Bush and help Democrats across the country win local elections was some vain egotistical act. Now he is elected Chairman of the DNC and you decide to write an article about online dating [“Inside Track,” February 16] ... not even a mention in the last paragraph. What is that about? Don’t you think he’s become “relevant” yet? David Brizendine

COMIC RELIEF Thanks, Brian Aust [“Letters,” February 16], for giving me a chance to draw more attention to myself! Let me please say three things. 1. I am a mentally ill Vermonter, Smarty Pants. I find it outstandingly presumptuous that you feel you can speak for all survivors in declaring what we find “reprehensible.” I will ask that you to refrain from putting words in my mouth and the mouths of other patients and survivors in the future. I speak only for myself and I suggest that you do the same. 2. I have struggled most of my life with OCD, social anxiety and depression. Today I thrive with daily medications, weekly therapy, support from loved ones and humor. I found the time and attention paid to this idiotic bear thing painfully absurd in the face of all the other myriad issues facing mentally ill Vermonters such as myself — so I expressed my displeasure in a way that made a whole lot of people laugh. If you want to get bunged up about it, fine. Bunge away. I find that an overwrought, humorless worldview is bad for my overall mental health, but... to each his own. 3. Holy mackerel! Talk about missing the point. You need to look up satire in the dictionary, my friend. Molly Hodgdon BURLINGTON

WE SHIP! 888-923-DISH

Judgment Calls want a repeat of the Fletcher Allen Renaissance debacle.” As for Pizza Man’s “official” reason for quitting the board, Welch asked with a touch of sarcasm, “In recent years he’s received more than $100 million in contracts from UVM. So that’s not enough?” Welch’s perspective was shared by union activist David Kaczynski. “The Iron Workers Union always felt that James Pizzagalli had his company’s interest paramount to UVM’s,” he said. “His resignation letter confirms our suspicion.” Would you be surprised to learn that UVM President Dan Fogel doesn’t agree? According to Dan the Man, neither media publicity nor public relations strategizing had anything to do with Pizzagalli’s abrupt exit. “Mr. Pizzagalli made this decision on his own as a principled decision for the reasons stated in his letter,” Fogel told yours truly. “It had nothing to do, absolutely nothing as far as I can see, to do with pressure from any external group.” But if UVM’s bid system is as squeakyclean, fair and aboveboard as you claim, we asked, why didn’t Jimmy Pizzagalli trust it? Why did he claim that he feared his company would get screwed? “I think he was concerned,” Fogel told Seven Days, “that all things being equal, there would be a feather on the scale weighing against him because of the concern that there not even be the slightest appearance of conflict. And our conflict-of-interest policy says trustees must avoid even the appearance of conflict, so that was it. I think that’s all there is.” Whatever you say, Danny Boy. What do you think? News Judgment — It was quite remarkable to see how differently the local press covered Pizzagalli’s surprise resignation. It barely made WCAX-TV, “Vermont’s Own,” that evening — just a brief teleprompter read by Marselis Parsons at the tail end of their hourlong Six O’Clock News. That’s right, WGOP reported the sudden resignation of the UVM trustee chairman after weather and sports — buried in that second half-hour after most people have switched channels to catch national news. There was no “live” report from the UVM campus. After all, Mr. Pizza doesn’t coach basketball. No reporter was assigned to the story. It was as if it didn’t matter. The Big Story that night was Jack Laduke “live” from Lake Placid with the 25th anniversary observance of the 1980 Olympic Games. Important stuff Vermonters need to know, eh? The next morning, The Burlington Free Press got it right for a change and splashed the Pizzagalli story across the top of the front page. It was, after all, the kind of story front pages are made for. Now, we know Jimmy P. and the owners of Ch. 3 have a few things in common. Both Pizzagalli and Stuart “Red” Martin donate generously to conservative Republican candidates. And we know that Jimmy and Peter INSIDE TRACK >> 18A

f news is about the unexpected taking place, then last week’s sudden resignation of the chairman of the University of Vermont’s board of trustees surely qualifies. Surprisingly, however, not all local media outlets saw it that way. James Pizzagalli, a hometown boy and UVM grad, surprised everyone on February 23 by announcing he was quitting a powerful post he surely must have loved. In his other life, Jimmy runs Pizzagalli Inc., the largest construction company in the Green Mountains. He had been on the UVM board since 2000 and became chairman last May. Timing is everything, right? Pizzagalli’s resignation came less than two weeks after reports of a $7.5 million cost overrun in the current big dig on campus — a residential housing complex. As everyone knows, President Dan Fogel’s “vision” calls for a whole lot more of the same. Pizzagalli’s resignation also came just 11 days after members of the UVM faculty and other union activists publicly called for the Pizza Man’s resignation at the board of trustees meeting. Associate Professor Nancy Welch, accompanied by 20 sign-carrying colleagues, told the trustees they had not learned anything from “the scandals of the Fletcher Allen Renaissance Project — the scandal of cost overruns, insufficient board oversight and ironworkers asked to do dangerous work on a hospital construction site while they themselves had no medical coverage at all. The University can avoid the mistakes of Fletcher Allen,” said Welch, “by recognizing that Mr. Pizzagalli, as president of the Board of Trustees and as head of the region’s major construction company, has a serious conflict of interest and should not be a part of any of UVM’s construction and expansion decisions.” The appearance of the protesters was carried in the WCAX-TV report, but not mentioned at all, to Welch’s chagrin, in a Burlington Free Press article the next day. The matter seemed to fade away until last week’s shockeroo — Pizza Man had pulled the chute! Pass the pepperoni! “I hereby resign as trustee effective immediately,” wrote Chairman Pizzagalli. He then acknowledged there was a conflict of interest, but he had an interesting spin on the situation. You see, in Jimmy’s view, the conflict of interest wasn’t about his company getting favored treatment in claiming the fat construction contracts yet to come in the Fogel Era. No, no. It was about Pizzagalli losing those bids because, if they got the business, it’d look like an inside job! Jimmy declined our request for an interview. However, in his letter of resignation he wrote his departure was “in the best interests of Pizzagalli Construction Company.” He never once mentioned the best interests of the university. First things, first, eh? Professor Welch told Seven Days she was quite surprised by Pizzagalli’s sudden departure. “We thought it would take more for that to happen,” she said, adding, “I do think it was a response to the publicity. We didn’t get very much [news coverage], but what little we got was enough to make people very nervous. And I think people don’t

SEVEN DAYS

The Other Social Security Reform Lawmakers have been scrambling since last week’s announcement that a security breach at ChoicePoint, a Georgia-based credit reporting agency, compromised the files of 144,000 consumers nationwide. Congress has scheduled hearings and begun drafting legislation, while in Vermont, the Attorney General’s office told ChoicePoint it must notify the 111 consumers in the state whose files may have been affected. Nonetheless, it appears the Vermont Legislature will wait another year before tackling a major aspect of the problem: the widespread and pervasive use of Social Security numbers by state government. Social Security numbers are one of the unique identifiers used by governments and businesses to distinguish citizens. Once an

The Identity Theft Study Committee found “approximately forty examples” of states government uses of Social Security numbers. identity thief steals a victim’s Social Security number, it’s relatively easy to perpetrate a crime. According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity theft costs the economy about $50 billion annually. In Vermont, identity theft is most commonly used for credit card fraud, utilities theft and bank fraud. Last June, Governor Jim Douglas signed into law Act 155, which makes identity theft a crime and lets victims freeze their credit reports. Act 155 also requires state agencies to redact Social Security numbers from government documents before they are publicly posted. However, eight months after the law went into effect, state officials acknowledge that the bill was only a stopgap measure, and that the easy accessibility of Social Security numbers remains a serious concern. A report prepared for the Legislature by the “Identity Theft Study Committee” found “approximately forty examples” of state government uses of Social Security numbers. The report also warned that “we are concerned that this list is only the tip of the iceberg.”

Fixing the problem is daunting since state and federal laws mandate the use of Social Security numbers under so many different circumstances, from child-support services to unemployment insurance. State officials admit that revamping all the state’s databases would be both costly and time-consuming. What’s more, as the committee report points out, coming up with new identifiers to replace Social Security numbers could simply shift the problem. This predicament isn’t restricted to state agencies. As Secretary of State Deb Markowitz points out, Social Security numbers are widely available in town offices on public filings such as transfer tax documents, which clerks are prohibited by law from altering. In fact, town clerks are specifically exempt from the provisions of Act 155. As if to highlight the pervasiveness of the problem, when Markowitz was interviewed last week, she wasn’t even aware that a database on her state website still includes hundreds, if not thousands, of Vermonters’ names, addresses, signatures and Social Security numbers. The searchable database includes thousands of UCCs, or Uniform Commercial Code liens, which are claims filed by banks and other lending agencies against individuals and businesses that owe them money. According to Markowitz, the state’s online UCC database receives hundreds of hits each day and saves the business community thousands of dollars in research costs. “Having them online is one of the things we get the most thanks for,” Markowitz says of the UCCs. But after she was informed of the accessibility of Social Security numbers online, Markowitz said she would immediately consult with her information technology people. The Identity Theft Study Committee has recommended that the Legislature enact legislation similar to what was recently adopted in Illinois. Such a bill would prohibit the public posting or display of an individual’s Social Security number, its transmission over the Internet without encryption, and the use of SSNs on ID cards or in materials mailed to consumers. The proposed statute would apply to both the public and private sectors, though implementation by state government would be delayed pending further study by the committee. KEN PICARD

Exposing the Voyeurism Bill Come Check Them Out! Burlington’s local choice since 1982. WINNER 2003 & 2004

It’s all about the music Advance Music 75 Maple Street • Burlington 863-8652 www.advancemusicvt.com

Here’s an eye-opening fact: In Vermont, it’s legal to stand outside your neighbors’ house and take pictures of them naked, even if you’re peeking through a crack in the bedroom window blinds. That loophole came to light last year when a Montpelier man was caught photographing an unsuspecting teenage girl. Prosecutors have charged him with stalking and with producing child pornography, but it’s unclear if the stalking charge will stick. At the moment, state laws apparently do not specifically prohibit his voyeuristic behavior. State Senator John Campbell (DQuechee) compares this discovery to the revelation a few years ago that “rape drugs” were still legal in Vermont. Although he notes they’ve since been outlawed, once again, “We were caught with our pants down,” he says. Um, exactly.

Lawmakers are now scrambling to pass a “Peeping Tom” law, but criminalizing this behavior isn’t as simple as it might seem. A Senate bill, which passed unanimously last week and will be taken up by the House this spring, would make it illegal to view, photograph, film or disseminate images of a person’s “intimate areas” without their consent, provided the subject is in a place where one would have a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” But in our increasingly overexposed society, what does that mean? Campbell, who vigorously supports the bill, compares attempting to legislate privacy to “opening a Pandora’s Box.” He notes that it bans someone from staring in your windows and taking photos of you nude, but probably not if your house is on Main Street and you like to vacuum in the buff with the blinds up.

Ferry Search Suit Sinks Pop your trunks and open your bags for inspection. A federal judge in Vermont has given the green light to continued random “screenings” of vehicles and passengers on Lake Champlain ferries. Federal District Court Judge J. Garvan Murtha dismissed a lawsuit challenging the searches as unconstitutional. The plaintiffs in the case, Michael Cassidy and Robert Cabin, are Colchester residents who regularly commute between Vermont and Plattsburgh, N.Y., aboard the ferries operated by the Lake Champlain Transportation Company. Last July, LCT had to implement a Coast Guard-approved security plan that includes random searches of passengers, vehicles and cargo for explosives and other weapons. That mandate, which applies to all commercial vessels operating on Lake Champlain, was part of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. Passed in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, it aims to safeguard the nation’s ports, harbors and waterways. Cassidy and Cabin filed suit last September with help from the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont. Their complaint, the nation’s first legal challenge to the 2002 Homeland Security law, alleged that random, suspicionless searches of vehicles and passengers violate their Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. But Murtha disagreed. In an eight-page ruling on February 16, the judge wrote that such searches

“advance a ‘special governmental need’ to promote domestic security” and are not prohibited under the Fourth Amendment. Federal courts had previously ruled that similar “special needs” searches without a warrant — such as drug testing applicants for highly sensitive government jobs, and screening visitors to schools and government agencies — are constitutional when the goal is to protect public health and safety. “Absent evidence of abusive practices,” Judge Murtha wrote, “the measures implemented…are akin to the type of security measures which are employed in the air travel industry and pass constitutional muster.” Cassidy, who works as the managing attorney for Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York, says he was disappointed by the ruling, but not surprised. In particular, he is disturbed by the court’s willingness to defer judgment on these searches’ validity and their effects on personal liberties to Congress and the Department of Homeland Security. “These are difficult times that we’re in and it takes a little backbone to stand up to this kind of thing,” Cassidy says. “That’s their job, to review what’s been done [by the government], not bow to the throne.” Cassidy says he intends to appeal the decision to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City. KEN PICARD

Store owners could be fined for videotaping customers in the restrooms, but, with proper posting, can still monitor the dressing rooms. A “Paris Hilton” section of the bill, he says, is designed to keep opportunistic exes in check. It requires anyone distributing intimate images to secure the consent of the parties involved, regardless of whether or not they consented to be filmed or photographed in the first place. Fred Lane, an author, lecturer and expert witness in cases involving privacy and the porn industry, raises another interesting question: How might this law affect Vermont’s nudist community? Does anyone who undresses out of doors forfeit the right to privacy? Or, as Lane argues, should the law grant someone who ventures far enough from public area the right to be left alone? That could create a murky situation at a place like Shelburne Point, for example. To swim there, or to take pictures of naked swimmers, you must hike through the woods. So Lane says anyone taking pictures from the land might be violating the law. But if a group of people in a canoe paddled by and

snapped a photo, that could, conceivably, be legal. Lane adds that although the bill prohibits disseminating these photos, enforcement of illegal internet posting typically falls to the U.S. Department of Commerce, not the state. So the idea that this bill could penalize voyeurs who post “upskirting” and “downblousing” photos online may be misguided. The law does specifically allow some people to peep — it largely exempts law enforcement officials, and offers limited protections to licensed private investigators and security guards. You might think that PIs, who advertise their surveillance skills, and take photos of indiscreet liaisons for a living, would be nervous about a law regulating voyeurism. But Barre PI David Dwyer says he’s all for it. Dwyer, whose granddaughter was victimized by a peeping Tom, doesn’t think the legislation goes far enough. In his line of work, he sees a lot of devious characters. “Most people,” he suggests, “live in a sheltered world mentally.” CATHY RESMER

Curses, Foiled Again Police investigating a robbery in Euless, Texas, found a wallet that the suspect left on the store counter after taking $200 from the cash drawer. A detective notified Joseph Fahnbulleh, 22, that someone had found his wallet and that he could claim it at the police station. When he showed up, officers arrested him. • Swedish police reported that someone broke into a hospital cafeteria in Karishamn.

confronted with the evidence. • A sheriff’s deputy tried to pull over Jerry Wayne Till for speeding outside Monroe, Louisiana, but Till drove away. After leading deputies on a high-speed chase, Till abandoned his vehicle and ran into the woods. While deputies were searching for him, Till called the sheriff’s office from his cell phone to report that he was lost. A nearby resident who heard Till crying for help guided deputies to him.

People, Who Needs People? University of Florida scientists extracted 25,000 neural cells from the brain of a rat embryo to create a “live computation device” and taught it to fly an F-22 fighter jet simulator. “When we first hooked them up, the plane crashed all the time,” said Thomas DeMarse, 37, an assistant professor of biomedical engi-

United I Stand Mayor L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond, Virgiinia, ordered metal detectors removed from City Hall as a cost-cutting measure, then announced that a team of eight to 10 bodyguards was being assigned to protect him. Although the switch from metal detectors will save $200,000, the security officers will be responsible only for the mayor’s safety, not that of other City Hall workers.

Persistence Pays A Bank of America branch in Prince George’s County, Maryland, had been robbed so many times that it stopped letting customers inside, directing them to the drive-up teller or the automated teller machine. The precautions failed to deter one robber. “There were two tellers inside of the bank,” police Cpl. Diane Richardson said. “One of the tellers left to run over to the drugstore, and as she was walking back, a suspect wearing dark clothing produced a gun and forced her inside the bank.”

Friends Through Thick and Thin Brendan Walsh, 27, pleaded guilty in a British court to repeatedly stabbing a long-lost friend, Noel Duff. Walsh and Duff had been close in school but lost touch until Walsh traced Duff using the “Friends Reunited” website. After introducing Duff to his sister, Walsh mistakenly believed that Duff had attacked her, prompting him to stab Duff seven times in a drunken rage. Walsh immediately became full of

remorse and called an ambulance. “The victim is no longer angry at you,” Judge David Paget told Walsh, who was cleared of attempted murder, “and the remarkable fact is that (he) even gave evidence on your behalf and said he would like to be friends with you again.”

Homeland Insecurity After two bomb threats at Bridgeton, New Jersey’s Broad Street School, the Salem County Sheriff’s Department conducted a training exercise at the school for bomb-sniffing dogs but left behind a stick of dynamite. “They have to put something out there for the dog to find,” Cumberland County Sheriff Michael Barruzza explained after a kindergarten teacher found the fuseless dynamite in her classroom, and the school was evacuated. School superintendent H. Victor Gilson said the sheriff’s department wasn’t to blame; instead, he insisted that the incident was the fault of a 15-year-old student who made the bomb threats, which prompted the training exercise. My Bad Washington state troopers arrested Theresa M. Wilson, 43, after they said she overtook a vehicle and rammed it three times, pushing it partially off the road. She explained that she thought the car belonged to her exboyfriend, whom she had found with another woman. “We have an innocent party minding his own business, and next thing you know, you have some wild woman trying to run him off the road,” Trooper Garvin March said, attributing the attack to mistaken identity and “an anger-management issue on her part.” 쩾

O

ne of the advantages — or disadvantages, depending on how you see it — of writing a column about “the news” only every other week is that you can’t stay on top of the stories as they pour over you, “24/7.” A commentator and a reporter aren’t the same thing, which leaves yours truly, each time a deadline comes around, wondering just where to land. This week I was lucky; I’ve been too sick to care. For 10 days, I’ve been ill with the worst winter cold and sinus infection since the Pope started hiring attorneys. No disrespect to His Holiness, who from what I hear is now “breathing on his own,” after the emergency tracheotomy that saved his life last week. Granted, he still can’t speak, but he did turn up at his hospital window on

When this decrepit relic of a vanished age finally passes on, millions of lives will be saved through the use of condoms. Sunday in a “surprise appearance,” waving and coughing at the faithful in his weekly Angelus prayer and blessing. “Wearing white robes with the collar loosened to conceal the tube in his throat, the pontiff made a one-minute appearance, saluting the throng outside and crossing himself,” writes London’s Independent. “At one point he clutched at his throat as if it was irritating him before being wheeled away.” Good for you, John Paul — sometimes, silence is best. Another one “breathing on her own,” at last report, was the Queen of England, following the announcement of her son’s pending marriage to Mrs. Camilla ParkerBowles. What began as a simple and quiet statement of intent has since turned into a “public relations fiasco,” unequaled in Britain since 1820, when the Queen’s collateral ancestor, George IV, barred the doors of Westminster Abbey on the day of his coronation and refused to allow his lawful consort, Caroline of BrunswickWolfenbuttel, to be crowned alongside him. The spurned Queen Caroline spent the rest of her life wandering around Europe with a carved-out pumpkin on her head, telling anyone who asked that a pumpkin was as good as a crown. This is the kind of thing that comes to mind when you feel as lousy as I do. It’s like Mr. Whipple and the Charmin. There you are, desperate for a moment of solemn reflection, and all you can think about are TV housewives running up and down supermarket aisles and wondering which brand of toilet paper is the softest. It makes you want to throw up — but you already are. And you wonder which way to turn your head in order not to see

the pure fakery all around you. Now I lift the newspapers to see that George W. Bush, sweat dripping from every pore of his phony Texan body, has “chastised” Russian President Vladimir Putin, former head of the Soviet KGB, to whom sweat is unknown, over what Bush considers to be a “rollback” of “democratic freedoms” in that country. That is, Russia, about which Bush knows nothing and cares less. His spike-heeled Secretary of State, the suddenly “sexy” Condoleezza Rice, who at least does speak the Russian language, gave a similar “tongue-lashing” to Putin’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. The two met for an official dinner a few weeks ago in Ankara, Turkey. “We are now debating whose democratic system is better and whose human rights are more correct,” Lavrov declared discreetly — dare I say diplomatically? — after his subjection to this corporate prima donna and her blather about “freedom.” And at a time when American citizens can be arrested and held in perpetuity without lawyers and without trial; when “the war on terror” is used as an excuse for every abuse of democratic liberties (starting and ending with the right of habeas corpus); when schoolchildren in parts of our country are obliged to wear electronic badges to monitor their movements; when political prisoners are “outsourced” for torture; when the mothers of soldiers killed in Iraq can be arrested simply for showing up at a Bush rally to protest his policies; when Congressional efforts are underway — don’t doubt it — to ban from the public stages, television and films anything and everything that “depicts the homosexual lifestyle in a favorable light.” Mr. Lavrov knows exactly what he’s saying. At Ankara, Lavrov urged Ms. Rice to take a good, hard look at the Russian press, even handing her a sheaf of published criticism, videos from news broadcasts, articles, letters and journals that under the Soviets were smuggled around. Last week, after Dopey’s confrontation with Putin in Bratislava, Lavrov asked again “if the State Secretary has read the articles and watched the television programs” he gave her. But no: “Ms. Rice said she had no time for that. I recommend her to do it very soon.” No wonder Hunter S. Thompson blew his head off last week. No one would argue that the Russian Federation is now a “free” country, or that there have not been “rollbacks” on such freedoms as spontaneously burst forth after the fall of the Soviets in 1991. But for a great country, with a great and tragic past, to be lectured to by the likes of Bush and his dried-up stick of a “sexy” oil-tanker secretary, crosses the bounds of even ordinary diplomatic hypocrisy. It’s enough to send you sniffling, wheezing and coughing back to bed. Which is where I’m headed now, until next time. 쩾

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT

Reading Matters

I IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

n a fourth-grade classroom at Barre City Elementary and Middle School, a small blonde girl named Emily is reading a poem about how homework stinks. “What’s the rhyme scheme?” asks her teacher Karen Heath, a slim, energetic 43-year-old woman who stands in front of the class wearing a loose red jumper and white turtleneck. “What is aabb?” “Rhyming pairs?” a girl suggests. “Rhyming couplets,” Heath corrects her. Next, she hands out photocopies of the William Wordsworth poem beginning “I wandered lonely as a cloud,” warning the kids that this will be a harder read than Shel Silverstein. “It has more poetic devices.” But the kids don’t seem fazed by Wordsworth’s musings. After Heath asks rhetorically, “Is there a word here I don’t know?” one boy raises his hand to ask what the poet means by a “host of daffodils.” Another correctly identifies a simile in the poem’s first line. “‘Fluttering and dancing in the breeze’ — what is that?” Heath asks without missing a beat. “Are the daffodils really dancing?” This silences the children for a moment. But when Heath starts to answer her own question, a dark-haired girl in the front row interrupts triumphantly: “Personification!”

If there’s such a thing as a lab for producing the readers of the future, this is it. On one level, this scene is classic — most of us studied poetry in school, and not a few of us were given Wordsworth’s “daffodil” poem to memorize. On another level, Heath’s classroom is noteworthy — and, some might say, endangered. Last summer, the National Endowment for the Arts published a study, “Reading at Risk,” that reported a 10 percent drop in the number of Americans who read literature — novels, plays and poems — between 1982 and 2002. Among young people, the drop was 28 percent. Given these figures, the level of comprehension in Heath’s fourth-grade class seems impressive, as does the kids’ palpable enthusiasm. And indeed, this classroom isn’t average. It’s part of the Reading Renaissance program, a language-arts class for high-level readers in grades three through six. Heath started the program here six years ago and now teaches four daily classes of 20 students each. She was recently named Vermont’s Teacher of the Year by the state’s Department of Education. If there’s such a thing as a lab for producing the readers of the future, this is it. Sitting down with Heath between classes, I ask her how she goes about fostering the reading habit in a world

of shiny technological distractions. “My big thing with kids and books is just getting them engaged. Having them make connections,” Heath says. “Think about what the character’s doing: How does it relate to them? How does it connect to another book?” Another key strategy is keeping the class fast-paced. “My goal is that every single kid, the entire class period, is involved,” Heath explains. “Instead of just one person raising their hand and answering, they all have to think.” She tries to avoid traditional approaches such as “round robin” reading, where students take turns reading aloud and “you’ve basically lost 18 out of 20 of the kids.” Instead, Heath herself reads aloud to her classes, stopping frequently to deploy what she calls “during-reading strategies.” “Why does Mary want to listen to this gossip?” she asks her sixth-graders, who are reading a historical novel about Henry VIII’s notorious daughter “Bloody Mary.” One page later, Heath stops reading again, instructs the students to talk in pairs, and passes out a series of cards with headings such as “Make a Connection,” “Make a Prediction” and “Ask a Question.” Below these are a series of statements for completion: “This is good because…” “This is hard because…” “This reminds me of…” In some classes, such small-group discussions devolve into chat about vacation plans. But Heath isn’t one to drop the reins. She gives the students a few minutes to compare reactions, and then the class races on again. “The big thing in teaching is meta-cognition — becoming aware of your thinking,” Heath explains. “As [students] get into seventh and eighth grade, they don’t want to admit anything they don’t know. It’s too embarrassing, and there’s that whole peer thing.” By asking repeated questions, inviting reactions, and even admitting her own ignorance, Heath says she’s trying to “model”

habits of flexible, critical thinking that kids can take with them into the difficult teen years. Another key to creating avid readers is “letting kids choose what they read,” Heath says. Her syllabi include classics such as Winnie the Pooh, The Secret Garden, Tom Sawyer and Homer’s Odyssey, together with “really good new stuff” such as Vermont author Karen Hesse’s The Music of Dolphins. Still, Heath says, “When they have a totally free choice, most kids, even these kids, who tend to be motivated, will go for something a few grade levels below that’s just kind of junky. But I also want them to do that, because that’s what I call the pure pleasure reading.” The kids in Heath’s fourth-grade class are specific and articulate about their reading preferences. Aaron Roberts, who likes “fantasy stories and funny stories,” says reading helps take his mind off worries about his dad, who’s in Iraq. John Reese, a fan of young-adult novelist Brian Jacques, calls himself a “very picky reader.” He says Heath “opens doors” to books he wouldn’t have tried on his own. This inspires Julia McDannold to interrupt with her own tale of ambitious reading. “I started Julius Caesar,” she says, noting proudly that she’s reading on a seventh-grade level. “I don’t understand a word.” Several fourth-graders mention that they like the creative options Heath gives them in their free reading projects — they’ve made bookthemed board games, mobiles and pyramids; they’ve memorized poems and acted in skits. Last month, for a “night of international reading,” the kids made foods corresponding to a country they’d read about and presented their efforts to a group of 100 peers and relatives in the school gym. “One boy made a gigantic chocolate mousse costume,” says Heath. Heath’s sixth-graders, on the cusp of junior high, are a bit antsier than

the fourth-graders. But they express the same excitement, albeit in more polished, self-conscious terms. In this class, “If you can’t do the reading. . . you can’t slide through,” says Reese’s older sister, Samantha, who’s eager to discuss the relative merits of the Harry Potter books and movies. “Other teachers should take a page out of Mrs. Heath’s book.” A serious boy named Dakota Woodworth says the reading load can be heavy — as much as 40 pages in a night. But he likes the class because “people are right with you. Most schools don’t have high achievers’ programs.” Heath seconds her student: “A lot of school districts would not allow a program like this.” She acknowledges that ability tracking, which makes Reading Renaissance possible, is “totally not politically correct.” Still, could Heath’s approaches be transferred to average or struggling readers? Or to high school students who think being a bookworm isn’t “cool”? Or to adults, with their crowd of real-world demands and distractions? Heath thinks so. Before coming to Barre, she spent 13 years as a teacher at Maplehill School in Plainfield, a high school for kids who are having trouble with public school work. “It was the complete opposite population” from her Reading Renaissance students, Heath says, but the two groups have enough in common to convince her that people just innately love stories. “You go to any party, and someone tells a story, everybody stops and listens. That’s just inside us. Kids at Maplehill would say ‘I hate books, I hate reading’ — but if you told them a story, they would listen.” How can we raise the next generation of readers? Perhaps it’s as simple as listening to them. “Ask kids what kind of books they like,” advises fourth-grader John Reese. “Sometimes it takes a little digging.” m

He co-hosts an ambitious “non-pop” radio show “Kalvos & Damian’s New Music Bazaar” on WGDR at Goddard College. And in his spare time, the 55-year-old Northfield resident designs and builds musical

instruments, some with surreal-sounding names such as the “candle harp” and the “uncello.” But none of these talents is what got him on TV last month. Báthory-Kitsz claims kinship with Countess Erzsébet Báthory, a 17th-century Hungarian countess remembered for her intellect, diplomatic skills, physical beauty — and gruesome serial murders. In a 40-year killing spree, the Countess allegedly offed more than 600 female servants, supposedly to drink and bathe in their blood. The Discovery Channel’s “Deadly Women,” which aired February 9, tells the grisly tales of four historic femmes fatales using dramatizations and interviews. The show’s producers found Báthory-Kitsz through his website — http://www.bathory.org — which he maintains in connection with an opera he’s writing about his ruthless relative. The opera’s libretto is being penned by Andrei Codrescu, who fictionalized Erzsébet’s life in his 1996 novel, The Blood Countess. The Discovery Channel “documentary” also plays loose with the facts. It presents the vampire rap as “cruel fact,” and theorizes about psychological and physiological motivations. Reflecting on the show, Báthory-Kitsz clarifies that the Countess’ Dracula rep is “mythology,” although her homicidal habit is historically correct, as was her brutal modis operandi: “physical, hands-on torture, with ripping and biting of flesh.” In “Deadly Women,” Báthory-Kitsz’s own story is pumped up to fit the show’s dramatic theme. The composer is introduced as a haunted man. “The comfort

WALK-INS WELCOME of his home in Vermont,” the narrator says, “cannot shelter him from the horrors performed in his family name more than 400 years ago.” The camera shows him baring his arm for a nurse, as the voice-over intones, “Dennis is consumed by his ancestor. He gives blood as symbolic compensation and is driven to unearth the reasons for Erzsébet’s evil.” The blood-drawing itself was real, says Báthory-Kitsz, but the idea came from the show’s producers. “I’m not a haunted man. They were trying to make drama of that,” he says, adding, “I don’t have a problem with that, because I’m writing a drama, too. It’s all about drama.” Later in the program, the camera follows Báthory-Kitsz to the Slovakian village of Cachtice, where the castle in which Erzsébet committed her crimes, and the tower in which she was eventually imprisoned, now stands in ruins. Báthory-Kitsz has come here to offer atonement to the townspeople. We see him sharing a meal with civic leaders and reading an apology in halting Hungarian. The scene was staged, says BáthoryKitsz, but a similar event did take place three years earlier, when he visited with the Travel Channel for a different documentary. His original trip to Cachtice took place in 1992, when the area was still part of Czechoslovakia. The castle was hard to find, Báthory-Kitsz recalls, and the town was “incredibly poor.” Since then, the place has prospered. “They’re building a tourist industry based on Erzsébet,” he says. His opera will play a part in that renaissance. He’s creating a full-blown production with costumes, a one-woman show and a mid-sized rendition for string quintet, sax quintet, percussion and cimbalom — a Hungarian hammer dulcimer played with four mallets. A performance of that last version is slated to take place at the castle next year or in 2007. The Cachtice town counsel is sponsoring it, with additional funding from the European Union. Although the history is horrific, “It happened a long time ago,” says BáthoryKitsz. “The mayor said to me, ‘She is ours now.’ I thought that was incredibly telling. Although ethnic rivalries continue, they’re making money from her.” The composer’s plans aren’t limited to the opera. While that work is in progress, Báthory-Kitsz is also creating a video game based on the countess. Waterfront Video owner William Folmar of Burlington got his five minutes of fame Sunday morning when he played the on-air puzzle on National Public Radio’s “Weekend Edition.” Broadcast the morning before the Academy Awards, the puzzle combined word play with movie trivia. Not surprisingly, Folmar aced it. Next time you rent a flick, ask to see his faux-gold “Weekend Edition” lapel pin. 쩾

BY CECIL ADAMS

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

16A

Dear Cecil, Last night someone mentioned that once you are inside a fridge and have closed the door, it is impossible to open the door from the inside. Apparently this has to do with the pressure difference or some such nonsense. To me, it looks like one commits this impossibility every time the fridge door is opened from the outside. So, Cecil, before I empty the salad from my fridge and venture inside myself, can you tell me if I will make it out alive, or if my chilled corpse will disturb those looking for a glass of milk? calum, via email Well, let’s see. Here we are, Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death (1993). On page 486 we find a photo of “three [dead] children [who] were discovered in a discarded refrigerator in an unused garage two days after having been reported missing by their parents.” Their corpses appear to be room temperature, not chilled, but would definitely disturb anyone seeking a glass of milk, I’d say, and most likely so would yours. Although the story has obviously gotten a little garbled over the years, refrigerators manufactured prior to 1958 were potential death traps — they really were impossible to open from the inside, not because of anything silly like pressure differences but because of the mechanical latches on their doors. Kids playing hideand-seek would climb into an abandoned fridge in somebody’s basement, pull the door shut, and realize too late they were trapped. The door seal prevented air from getting in and the kids’ screams from getting out, and in a short time they’d suffocate. In 1956 The New York Times reported that during the previous decade 115 children had died in this way. Some local jurisdictions passed ordinances requiring owners of old refrigerators to remove the doors or latches

before discarding them, but eventually federal legislators decided the time had come for a national solution. Manufacturers balked, saying the technology wasn’t available, it’d cost too much, blah blah blah. Congress finally said, screw it, you guys figure something out, and in 1956 passed the Refrigerator Safety Act, which required that the doors on all fridges sold after October 30, 1958, be capable of being opened with a 15-pound push from inside. Miraculously, a practical, inexpensive technology immediately appeared — a magnetic door seal. Truth was, the new seal had been developed some time earlier by General Electric, which offered to license the system to other manufacturers, but industry experts caviled that it still needed work. Faced with a deadline, however, pretty much everybody adopted magnetic seals, which in the event worked just fine, and we still use them today. Problem solved, eh? Not exactly. Plenty of old refrigerators, presumably bought in the first flush of postwar prosperity, were still out there, and as time went on and they began to be discarded, suffocation deaths rose. In 1961, after an 11-year-old boy died in a refrigerator in Brooklyn, hundreds of New York health inspectors prowled the city’s vacant lots, yards and cellars looking for old fridges and smashed the locks or removed the doors on 554 of them. Despite such efforts, at least 163 deaths were reported nationwide between 1956 and 1964, all in old-style fridges, and 96 between 1973 and 1984. The problem hasn’t entirely disappeared — two kids in Guyana died in an old fridge in 2003. Though the press account is sketchy, odds are the thing had a mechanical latch. You want to think today’s public and private watchdogs are alert enough to prevent this kind of thing from recurring, and there’s no doubt matters have improved. Consumer safety regulation in the 1950s was haphazard, driven largely by widely publicized incidents. In addition to refrigerators, for example, an uproar over girls being burned by flaming sweaters led to the Flammable Fabrics Act of 1953. Things got more systematic after LBJ created a national commission that led to the establishment of the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1972. Still, it’d be foolish to think some hazards aren’t overlooked. Noting a rash of kids dying after being inadvertently locked in car trunks (11 deaths in three incidents over less than a month during the summer of 1998), researchers Patricia Waller and Carmen Eribes began calling state officials in charge of tracking child fatalities and found that nobody really knew how many kids died in car trunks — no reporting system had been set up for it, statistics were kept different ways in different places, etc. The officials all thought that if there were a big problem they’d be aware of it, and in fact Waller and Eribes turned up only a handful of additional cases. Given that nobody’s really counting, though, who knows? CECIL ADAMS

Martin, general manager and son of Red, are both on the board of the Shelburne Museum. And we know that Pizzagalli Construction built WCAX’s headquarters on Joy Drive. In fact, they’re neighbors! Still, burying the news of Pizza Man’s resignation was beyond the pale. Ch. 3 didn’t mention it at all at 11 o’clock, nor during their newscasts the following morning. What gives? According to WCAX’s Peter Martin, aside from the connections mentioned above, “There are no other ties between WCAX or me to Pizzagalli Construction or Jim.” In a written reply to our email inquiry, Mr. Martin the Younger wrote, “I was unaware of the resignation story until my return from Washington late Friday. You probably have noticed that WPTZ did not run it at all, so far as I can tell.” According to St. Peter, “The UVM press release came out late Wednesday afternoon, after our producers had blocked out the 6 p.m. broadcast.” The powers that be in the newsroom, Martin explained, “obviously decided that it was worth inclusion in the Wednesday broadcast, but well down in the order. It seems to me that it was appropriately placed.” Hey, every news shop is entitled to call it as it see it. Free country. However, St. Peter appears to have gotten two things wrong. According to WPTZ news director Andy Wormser, Ch.5 did report the story. In fact, it was fairly high up in their newscast — “at 6:06 p.m.,” said Wormser. And the UVM press release announcing Pizzagalli’s resignation came out, according to the UVM communications department, at 2:30 p.m. that afternoon. Marsillyiss and company had more than three hours to do something. Make a phone call. Get a reaction. They chose not to. Obviously, it was a judgment call. GOP Flower Child — Former Republican National Committeeman Skip Vallee was in fine form this week. We contacted him for comment on his surprising second-place finish in the race for the top source of political campaign contributions in the Green Mountain State. The largest donors are posted at http://www.opensecrets.org. The site is run by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group based in Washington, D.C., that tracks money in politics and its effect on elections and public policy. Vallee, a.k.a. Gasoline Vallee, owns and operates the Maplefields chain of gas station/minimarts. You know, the ones with the fresh flowers in the rest rooms. Including recent acquisitions, Skip owns 25 gas stations. In the 2004 election, Gasoline Vallee was an official Bush Ranger. The title means he raised more than $200,000 in $2000 contributions for President George W. Bush’s reelection. Way to go, Skip! Open Secrets reports that Skip and family personally gave $262,943 in federal campaign contributions in the 2003-’04 federal cycle. Pretty generous folks, eh? Gasoline Vallee told Seven Days that his personal generosity sets a

good example for fellow Republicans. “When I call and ask people to give their dollars,” he explained, “it assists my entry to say I’ve done it myself.” But Skip sounded disappointed to hear he had not come in first as Vermont’s top contributor. He was dying to know who beat him. No, it wasn’t Pizzagalli Construction, which came in seventh. And it wasn’t potential 2006 U.S. Senate candidate Ritchie Tarrant’s IDX, which finished fourth. The top source of Vermont campaign contributions, not surprisingly, was Howard Dean’s Democracy for America, which dished out $326,000 to dozens of Democratic candidates across the country. Can’t win ’em all, Skip. Asked about the product he sells and its contribution to global warming and climate change, Gasoline Vallee replied, “We view ourselves as purveyors of coffee and fresh flowers, rather than the sellers of hydrocarbons.” Radio Ratings — The Fall 2004 Arbitron Radio Market Report for Burlington-Plattsburgh is out and shows little change among the most popular stations in the commercial market. In radio, the big bucks are all in the morning, when the get-up-and-go-to-work audience tunes in. In first place is WOKO’s Morning Roundup with C.K. Coin and Wild Bill Sargent, who extended their lead in morning drive to a 23.6 average quarterhour share. Awesome! Second place goes to WIZNFM’s “Howard Stern Show.” Still crazy after all these years. Stern gets a 10.1 audience share. And 95 Triple X was third. Mike & Chantal drew a 6.9 share. Farther down the line are “Corm & the Coach” on WCPVFM (3.5 share), which tied WBTZ-FM The Buzz and good ol’ “Charlie & Ernie” on WVMT-AM (2.2 share). Funny thing is, WCPV has a cartoon on its home page [ http://www.champ1013.com ] of Coach Tom Brennan smacking the bare butt of Howard Stern. (Butt touching, after all, is a big part of male jockdom.) However, based on Arbitron ratings going back to the fall of 2002, WIZN’s Stern is kicking Corm and the Coach’s butts. Interesting. P.S. Arbitron only measures “commercial” stations. About 20 percent of the local radio audience is tuning into public radio. Ethically Challenged? — In making its editorial endorsements for Burlington City Council candidates and ballot items, The Burlington Free Press declined to weigh in on one race because of the appearance of a conflict of interest. The Freeps editorial declared the paper would take no position in the Ward 5 council race between incumbent Democrat Joan Shannon and Republican challenger Charity Tensel: “The Free Press has opted to sit out this race because Tensel is a writer for the Writers Group on our Opinion Page.” How noble!

A New Dawn? — There are indications this week that Fletcher Allen Health Care is learning from its mistakes. As everyone knows, the secrecy involving the Mary Fanny’s Renaissance Project was justified by the fact that the scheme wouldn’t have been approved without lying about its true cost. What former CEO Bill Boettcher pitched as a $171 million project, we now know, is a $382 million project. You, me and our children and grandchildren will pay for it in our health insurance bills. One sign of a change came Tuesday. We contacted hospital spokesman Mike Noble around 9 a.m., inquiring about reports of construction problems with the new massive underground parking garage. Our sources described rebar protruding from support beams as well as large cracks in the floor and ceiling in an unopened section of the facility. In fact, we had pictures of the damage, though we didn’t let Mr. Noble know that. In the old days, such a press inquiry might have spawned delays and denials from Hospital Hill. Not anymore. Noble Mike called us before noon to say he was on the way to pick us up. We could see the area in question with our own eyes, he said. Upon arrival, we hooked up with project manager Dave Keelty and went below ground for a look-see. Everything was as it appeared in the photos. Workers, explained Keelty, had chipped out some concrete pillars because of “spawling” within. The temporary floor-to-ceiling shoring was in place, he said, to provide vertical stability when repairs are made. The floor cracks, said Keelty, occurred “post-tension,” i.e., after cables embedded in the slabs were tightened to hold them in place. “It doesn’t mean the building is unsafe,” he assured us. It’ll all be fixed shortly. The unopened section of the garage will open around October 1. Everything’s on schedule, he said. Rumors about garage problems have been circulating through the hospital staff. Thanks to Mr. Noble’s straight dealing, the rumor ought to be nipped in the bud. What Nobel’s response hopefully reflects is a new attitude on Hospital Hill — honesty is the best policy. Pretty radical stuff, eh? m

The next Festival Montréal en Lumière will be February 16-26, 2006. Info, http://www.montre alhighlights.com.

t’s no secret that Montréal is an orgy of activity in the summertime — the Festival International de Jazz, Just for Laughs and Divers/Cité, to name a few. Winter is a quieter, not to mention much colder, time in the city. Come hell or frozen water, however, things get lively in February during the 11-day Festival Montréal en Lumière — a.k.a. the Montréal High Lights Festival. The sixth annual event, which concluded last weekend, was actually three simultaneous festivals snuggled together, as if to preserve body heat, under one banner. There’s the Sun Life Financial Performing Arts Festival, the SAQ Wine and Dine Experience, and the Hydro-Québec Celebration of Light, which ingeniously illuminates the winter darkness. From the names you can tell there’s no lack of corporate or government sponsors. Last year the High Lights fest culminated in the Nuit Blanche, or All-Nighter, a sleepless revelry inspired by a similar event in Paris. It was so successful — Montréalers don’t need much excuse to party — that the organizers decided to make it a tradition. Since my partner and I couldn’t be in Montréal for the entire festival, we decided to throw slumber to the winter winds and purge our seasonal doldrums at the All-Nighter.

I kept trying to think of it as the Nuit Blanche instead of the All-Nighter, since the latter term conjures up memories of architecture school, Domino’s pizza and red-eye flights with crying babies and Adam Sandler films. The last time I pulled a voluntary all-nighter was truly in the last century. But we were determined. If an estimated 100,000 night-owl Canadians could do it, so could we. 7 p.m.: We layer up unglamorously over long johns and head down to Place des Arts, the festival’s home base. We’ve read the fireworks are supposed to begin at 7:30, but they actually commenced at 7. We just miss them — not a great start, but at least we’re not the only ones confused. For the next hour we hear people asking, “Do you know when the fireworks start?” Even without the light show overhead, Place des Arts is psychedelically aglow. The buildings around the site are decked in festive hues, and plunked down in the middle of it all is La Sphère Loto-Québec. The sphere — already nicknamed the “magic mushroom” — is five stories tall and mesmerizing, swirling with purple polka dots one moment, neon-rainbow geometrics the next. Turns out there are DJs inside, spinning tunes amid the spin-

ning lights over a heated dance floor. But the line to enter is intimidating, so we save it for later. The “Milk Ice Slide,” a huge, carved mountain of snow and ice with three tube-sledding lanes, looks tempting, but we’re not ready to be chilled and thrilled just yet. In fact, we already need to thaw out; fortunately, the festival provides several places to do so. Le Dôme Hydro-Québec is similar to the sphere but smaller and open to the elements. Nevertheless, when we step inside we’re blasted with warming infrared rays. Even smaller-scale are the flaming grills sprinkled around the site. Who’d have guessed that, in the middle of downtown Montréal, you’d be able to incinerate marshmallows and wieners? The ambiance — an amalgam of high and low tech, urban and rural, big- and small-scale — seems très Montréal. Toss in blasting techno music, colorful street performers, a zealous troop of calisthenics leaders, and

you begin to get the gist. We find our bearings and study the brochure listing a dizzying array of All-Nighter activities, many of them free. Some venues are close enough to reach on foot; others require transportation. For the far-flung events, free shuttles make the rounds roughly every 10 minutes throughout the night; you can hop off anywhere along the routes. 8:30 p.m.: We walk a short distance west on SainteCatherine to the Belgo Building. Here, artists on several floors have galleries open for the occasion. The hallways are peppered with artsy types, but, compared to the throngs at Place des Arts, it’s a calm oasis. We take in a variety of art, from digitally manipulated Tide boxes to photographic projections that gently transform walls into waves. We wonder whether the practicing ballet dancers who fill the room are meant to be part of the show. >> 22A

9 p.m.: A packed-to-the-gills shuttle transports us to the Musée des Beaux-Arts for a “Night with the Pharaohs.” Well, maybe an hour. Like many museums around town, this one is open till dawn and has special festival rates. But any hopes of time alone with the mummies are dashed when we see the line snaking down the sidewalk. Apparently others had this idea, too — a trend we’ll encounter throughout the night. I wonder why most of the statues are

missing their noses, but this and other fine points of Egyptian art history are lost in the melée. 10:30 p.m.: After our stint with ancient Egyptians, we’re ready for something more contemporary, so we shuttle on to Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill for music and sustenance. As we enter, a departing patron says, “I hope you like really old singers.” The place is jam-packed and roasting hot, especially as my parka zipper has become stuck. I

fiddle with it for a half-hour, sweating profusely, then ungracefully slide the parka down and step out of it. The cuisine at Upstairs is hohum, but a bottle of wine hits the spot. The “really old” singer turns out to be the seventysomething Lodi Carr, a gregarious jazz veteran with a Dolly Parton hairdo and an undeniable authenticity in her weathered voice. Lodi is backed by the smoking Steve Amirault Trio. I could stay here all night, espe-

cially after Lodi begins telling tales at the table next to ours. But the shuttle, and other venues, beckon. 1 a.m.: We make a quick stop at the BloWup Photogalerie, where photographers and makeup artists are on hand to transform ordinary citizens into momentary movie stars. My partner, a Russian professor, is amused to find the place full of Russian speakers on both sides of the lens. We’re watching mostly teenage girls getting prepped for their glossies when, suddenly, the lights die — the result of some electrical snafu that’s plagued the venue all night. This of course sparks jokes about being in the dark at the Festival en Lumière. 1:45 a.m.: After a seemingly infinite wait in the cold — most of the shuttles are full and fly right past — we move to the Fonderie Darling for La Nuit Électronik. The atmospheric warehouse space is crisscrossed with video projections, and everyone dancing to the electronic throb looks as if they could easily stay up for six weeks. We feel, and probably look, like chaperones at a high school dance. 2:30 a.m.: Another ride on the sardine shuttle. The driver doesn’t call out the stops, and the windows are so steamy you couldn’t see outside even if there weren’t 100 heads in the way. We could be in Newfoundland, for all I can tell. My limbs are bent in perverse directions. But for some reason none of us seems to mind the inconveniences — such is the camaraderie of an All-Nighter. If this were a mid-summer afternoon, we’d probably get hostile. 2:45 a.m.: We pause at the Hydro-Québec Head Office to breathe again and see the luminous mural by Québec artist Jean-Paul Mousseau. We and a bunch of twentysomethings grab complimentary biscotti and muffin fragments. The younger crowd sees a TV and shouts, “Let’s go watch some HydroQuébec propaganda!” 3 a.m.: Back to the main site, where the wanderers are less numerous and more inebriated than before. A few hardy souls are still ice-tubing, but the psychedelic sphere has stopped admitting visitors. Oh, well. We console ourselves with sugar-on-snow and roasted chestnuts. 3:30 a.m.: We walk to the Société des Arts Technologiques on Saint-Laurent, where they promise “12 hours of contrasting and exhilarating emotions.” And we thought it was just the sleep deprivation! The music at this wee hour sounds, to our untrained ears,

much like the électronik we heard earlier, but the dimly lit space is very cool. Enormous wall-videos alternate streaming white arrows with images of motorbikers. Floor-level seating provides an opportunity to collapse. The clock above the bar is spinning rapidly backwards, enhancing our sense that time has no meaning. Neither does privacy: The bathroom is open along one wall, transforming stall comings and goings into yet another form of performance art. 4 a.m.: I’m not sure settling into a darkened theater is wise at this stage of the game, but I love the idea of la longue nuit du court (the long night of shorts), and the Cinéma Impérial is close enough to be appealing. Before the lights, and my eyelids, go down, I admire the cinema’s red velvet seats and splendidly lush interior.

5:15 a.m.: In the lobby of the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Montréal, I realize I have no recollection of the films I just “saw.” C’est la vie des fatigués. We drag ourselves upstairs to an exhibition of South African artist William Kentridge’s works. There’s plenty of room to walk like an Egyptian here, if only I had the energy. Somehow Kentridge’s gorgeous charcoal drawings and short animated films are perfect for the hour and state of mind. In one of the galleries, people in various states of unconsciousness litter the carpet, while ants printed in negative race across the walls, forming ever-changing constellations. Opera and an ethereal version of “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” drift in from somewhere. I could be awake or asleep, it doesn’t matter.

6 a.m.: We join the line for the free “Convivial Breakfast.” I’m on the far side of convivial, but others aren’t yet ready to throw in the towel. An older man with long blond hair and purple tights sings and plays harmonica while a tiny woman festooned with pink feathers bangs a tambourine and dances. 7 a.m.: The sun is up. We go down. For every event we experienced at the High Lights fest, there were several we missed: a Brazilian dance party, French cabaret, swimming “under the stars” at the Hilton, free garlic soup, an autopsy of a murder, celebrations of the gypsy spirit. Maybe next year. I’ll start resting up now. m

here are Captain Ahabs and Don Quixotes in this world — idealists, touched with genius and not a little madness, who spend their lives on a quest for something purer and better than what life seems to STORY offer. But every romantic anti-hero has MARGOT sidekicks, confidants, onlookers — in a HARRISON word, enablers, who often imagine, until it’s too late, that they’re simply along for Losing the the ride. Garden: The Story of a At the end of her memoir chronicling a Marriage 30-year marriage, Laura Waterman comby Laura pares herself to Melville’s Ishmael, the only Waterman, survivor of Ahab’s wreckage: “I was the Shoemaker and Hoard, one left to tell the tale.” And tell it she 288 pages, does. The book is a portrait of the East $24. Corinth resident’s deceased husband, Guy Laura Waterman Waterman. On a deeper level, it’s also a reads from portrait of the author herself. Losing the Waterman asks: What makes one perGarden son decide to cleave to and support anothMarch 23, er person’s obsessive quest? Why did a 7 p.m., Blake Memorial bright young woman from an academic Library, family choose to retire with a man almost East Corinth, a decade her senior to the Vermont & April 5, woods, where they lived without electrici7 p.m., Bear Pond Books, ty or plumbing on a budget of less than Montpelier. $3000 a year? And why, 27 years later, did that same woman stand on the porch and watch her husband disappear into the woods, knowing that he did not intend to return alive? An author in her own right, Laura Waterman has previously published in literary magazines and journals, and collaborated with Guy on several outdoorsfocused books. Losing the Garden begins in

February 2000, when 68-year-old Guy Waterman committed suicide by exposing himself to the elements on Mount Lafayette — an event he had been planning for more than a year, with his wife’s knowledge. Next, Waterman zooms back in time to establish her characters, asking, “What brought us to this pass?” By himself, Guy Waterman seems to have lived enough to fill several books. A brilliant, exacting, obsessive man, he had several public lives — as a jazz pianist, Nixon speechwriter and rock climber — before he and Laura embarked on their experiment in bare-bones homesteading. He was an eloquent promoter of life in the great outdoors. Yet that love of the wild was also a source of personal tragedy, as two of Waterman’s sons disappeared into the wilderness forever. The story of John Waterman, presumed dead on Mount McKinley, will be familiar to readers of the 1996 bestseller Into the Wild. There, author Jon Krakauer portrays Guy Waterman as a cold, distant father who showed little interest in his three sons after divorcing his first wife. Laura Waterman tells a different version, in which John’s death in 1981 was a blow from which Guy never fully recovered. But she doesn’t whitewash her husband’s character or attempt to disguise his flaws. Waterman says Guy “needed to keep the pressure on,” which is something of an understatement. He counted every blueberry he picked, mapped out each hour of his day on 3-by-5 index cards,

Why would a woman stand on the porch and watch her husband disappear into the woods, knowing that he did not intend to return alive? memorized Milton, and played mental games of fantasy baseball in his idle moments — all in an effort to drown out the “demons” in his head. And Laura, who loved Guy, supported him. Granted, he was a control freak, but he could also be witty, creative and charismatic. More importantly, her life had melded with his. Perhaps the most rich and revealing part of Waterman’s memoir is her description of the marriage as a symbiosis, in which she could no longer distinguish Guy’s attitudes from her own. When a friend asked why she didn’t seek outside help for her husband’s depression, she answered, “I was living in Guy’s world.” Waterman’s “total empathy with Guy” during their marriage, and her changing self-awareness after his death, explain the book’s somewhat patchy texture. Waterman says she originally

planned it as a memoir of successful homesteading, similar to Helen and Scott Nearing’s classic books: “The story would be about the practical aspects of how we lived.” As she wrote, however, Waterman found herself perplexed by her own inability to tell the story as an I, rather than a we. As she rediscovered her own perspective, disentangling it from Guy’s, she writes, “I came to see this was the story of my own awakening.” That’s the story readers will probably find most compelling. For descriptions of the couple’s life in Vermont, Waterman draws heavily on her daily journals, which contained “no personal stuff,” and some sections of the book have a bland, censoredfor-public-relations feel to them. Other passages, reflecting her new insights after Guy’s death, are so candid they’re almost painful to read.

Toward the end, Waterman writes, “What everyone saw was that we were a united couple — idyllic, really — who lived in a kind of Garden of Eden.” The text’s sometimes disjointed feel suggests that Waterman hasn’t fully reconciled the chasm between appearance and reality. But her reluctance to accept the “loss of the garden” is, perhaps, part of the nature of love — and of idealism, which Guy and Laura Waterman shared. Throughout the book, Waterman describes herself as her husband’s sidekick — the “worker bee” to his “shaman,” the Ariel to his Prospero, the Ishmael to his Ahab. With Losing the Garden, a book sure to be of interest to anyone tackling the issue of either sustainable living or “death with dignity,” the loyal retainer comes into her own. 쩾

FROM LOSING THE GARDEN: Guy began writing poetry in the last few years of his life. If he revealed his inner turmoil anywhere, it was here. Again, he showed me everything he wrote. He showed close friends his poetry as well. He and I could discuss what worked line by line and what didn’t. We could talk about word choice and clarity. But we did not talk about what lay behind the words, what the poems meant for Guy. I was pretty numb myself by that time. By the mid-1990s, I too was doing anything to avoid conversations that seemed to drive the wedge deeper between us. His poems were often about his feelings of isolation and loss, regret, remorse, shame, and blame. Though I saw he was writing about his own darkness within, I responded as if it were a painting on a wall. I’d been looking at this same painting for years. Guy had made it so clear that he didn’t want me to do more than look at it that looking was all I was up to doing now. He wrote a poem called “Together, Alone” that ended, “So why do you smile? I do not / Understand how you can smile.” I read it at breakfast, the time when he showed me his completed poems, and he spoke the last line looking at me: “How can you smile?” he asked. “I don’t know,” I said. I understood what he meant: How can life look rosy to you when it looks like hell to me? I remember his face, woebegone, lost, the face of a traveler who’s nerved himself to ask for directions one last desperate time for a place he has been trying to locate for years. “It’s just how I am,” I added in a bright cheery voice. I remember thinking that I was in some way better than him for being able to smile. That smiling was easy for me and it would be for him too if he’d just decide it was. I so rarely felt I had the upper hand with Guy. I had it now, and I seized it. I gave a truthful answer that showed no understanding. And oh! what an opportunity I missed. Guy had started across the bridge — he was holding out his hand. This time it was I who remained unbudgeably planted on the other side. By the end I was no more capable than Guy of spanning my side of the bridge.

Meaningful Labor

Wayne Horvitz & Paul Magid, Joe Hill — 16 Actions for Orchestra, Voice and Soloist, Flynn MainStage, March 5, 8 p.m.

on’t mourn — organize.” Those words were reputed to be labor organizer and songwriter Joe Hill’s last. Executed by firing squad in 1915 for the murder of a grocer, Hill lived and died by his beliefs. While his actual involvement in the crime is still debated, Hill’s contribution to the burgeoning workers’ rights movement is beyond doubt. Considered by many to be America’s first protest singer, Hill took a populist stance that’s echoed in artists from Woody Guthrie to Ani DiFranco. In this era of 9-to-5 workweeks and due compensation, it’s difficult to imagine the exploitation Hill and his working-class cronies encountered every day. Composer, pianist and electronic musician Wayne Horvitz wants folks to try. Horvitz is no stranger to unconventional musical projects, having cut his teeth as a member of John Zorn’s legendary freejazz/surf-metal ensemble Naked City in New York City. He’s collaborated with such diverse artists as Kronos Quartet and film director Gus Van Zandt, and he appears on more than 100 CDs — 20 of them as leader. Now making his home in Seattle, the 50-year-old Horvitz might not be as freaky as he used to be, but he’s still a major force in eclectic composition. This Saturday, on the Flynn MainStage, Horvitz presents Joe Hill: 16 Actions for Chamber Orchestra and Voice. Singers Robin

Holcomb and Rinde Eckert, as well as exBad Livers member Danny Barnes join Horvitz on a work that expresses Hill’s struggles through folk, blues and chamber music. Featured soloist and old Naked City bandmate Bill Frisell provides Americana-tinged jazz guitar, while members of the UVM Orchestra help weave the piece together. A collaborative effort between Horvitz and Flying Karamazov Brother Paul Magid, who wrote the libretto, Joe Hill is a musical paean to a time when the underclass was completely without voice. Seven Days recently chatted with Horvitz from his home about the motivations behind this work. SEVEN DAYS: How did you become interested in Joe Hill? WAYNE HORVITZ: I’ve always been interested in that era, but the idea for the piece didn’t actually start with Joe Hill. I was having lunch with Bill Frisell, and I told him I wanted to write a larger piece reflecting a classical composer’s take on American music. I’d been reading this Wallace Stegner book about Joe Hill, and I thought, you know, this piece needs something to hang its hat on. If I go to people and say, “I’m going to do a reworking of American folk themes,” everyone’s just gonna yawn. But the Joe Hill thing was intriguing. Then there’s the fact that Paul Magid and I both have labor stuff in our families. My

SEVEN DAYS | march 02-09, 2005 | feature 35A

There’s always a table for you.

A Single Pebble Restaurant grandfather was the first president of the American Arbitration Association, and my father — who is still working at age 84 — is a mediator. Paul Magid’s grandfather was in the Longshoreman’s Union here in Seattle, and was a Wobbly [the nickname given to the International Workers of the World, of which Joe Hill was a member]. SD: How did you end up collaborating with Magid? WH: We met at the university in Santa Cruz, but I didn’t know him really well. But when Paul moved to Seattle, I’d see him around. It turns out he had been thinking of doing a Joe Hill piece for years, and I needed a writer. It was really nice, because we’d been meaning to work together someday and also get to know each other better. SD: What’s it like working with pick-up musicians, such as members of the UVM Orchestra? WH: It’s fine. The parts that are written for the classical players are written in that tradition. Of course, some parts are easier and others more difficult. I’m coming a day or two early to rehearse with them. But they’ve been working on it since November. I think it’ll be cool. SD: Do you see any parallels between the class struggles of Hill’s time and corporate dominance in our era? WH: Well, yes. My respect for the IWW isn’t just based on what I learned about them, but also on what’s happening in America today. In Hill’s time, people were asking for a living wage or access to some part of the pie. Now, even poor people just want to be rich. I think the Wobblies kind of instinctively understood that not everyone could be rich — that one person being rich means another being poor. Nowadays, with rampant consumerism, there’s a sense of entitlement. Everyone’s owed happiness. People want to be fabulously wealthy without any consideration that there’s a price to be paid for it. Like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” The Wobblies didn’t have to deal with those aspects of culture. They were simply saying, “This isn’t fair.” SD: The members of IWW seemed like pretty roughand-tumble characters. Do you identify with that mystique? WH: Well, that’s what first drew me to them. I saw Joe Hill as a Jesse James, Paul Bunyan or John Wesley Harding figure. I’m a Bob Dylan fanatic from way back, partly because of my attraction to those sorts of characters — even if they were on the wrong side of the law. That kind of Robin Hood aspect of Joe Hill was the main thing. An interesting part about Hill is that we really don’t know that much about him — he’s become a mythic figure.

SD: Sort of like John Henry. WH: John Henry is an excellent analogy. In fact, there’s a Mississippi John Hurt tune I use in the piece that’s a variation on the old John Henry song. It’s called “Spike Driver’s Blues.” SD: How did you go about setting Hill’s struggles to music? WH: Structurally, what I did was pick four or five traditional songs that I wanted in the piece. Then I picked four or five Joe Hill songs. I didn’t use much of his music, though. A lot of it he didn’t write himself, anyway — they were preexisting songs. When Hill used to give soapbox speeches, they’d send the Salvation Army down to play hymns to drown him out. So Hill got the idea to put words to the hymns and use the Salvation Army as his backing band! Then I’d give everything to Paul and say, “Put some structure to this.” I didn’t start from scratch; I had Paul’s words and I could put music to them paragraph by paragraph. A critic in Seattle noted that the music isn’t so much inspiring as it is melancholy. I thought that was very right on — that’s exactly how I feel about it. Not only was Joe Hill executed, but we live in a world where “union” is still a dirty word. And I think it is something to reflect upon that it’s 100 years later and people are going bankrupt because their kid broke their leg. SD: How do you deal with Hill’s trial and execution in the piece? WH: The execution is a big part of it, but we don’t get into whether or not he was guilty. It’s a tricky thing to do in a music piece. But nearly everyone agrees that his trial was a travesty. I think chances are he didn’t commit the crime, but it’s still an open book. I find that ambiguity really interesting.

SD: What do you think Hill would make of the work? WH: Well, he’d probably be mad at me for changing his tunes, like any composer! If he was just transported here today, I’m sure he’d think the music was pretty bizarre sounding — he never heard Hendrix or Stravinsky. It’s an interesting question, because the IWW was ostensibly anti-religion, but all these guys had some religious background. A line that gets repeated throughout the piece is “A worker is worth his food.” And everybody, including most of the writers and critics who’ve seen the piece, mention it as an IWW slogan. But it isn’t. It’s something that Jesus Christ said. Paul liked to play with the idea that Joe was murdered by the state, like Christ was, and became a martyr figure, albeit on a much smaller scale. I think if Joe Hill saw the piece once, he might be a bit confused by that aspect, but if he saw it a couple of times, he’d come to appreciate it. 쩾

PERMANENT RECORD I’m pleased to report that Big Joe Burrell has been recognized in our nation’s capital. We recently received a letter from Congressman Bernie Sanders regarding his remarks about the beloved musician in the House of Representatives. To commemorate Joe’s life and music, Sanders gave a summary of the late saxophonist’s accomplishments, and described the personal impact Joe had on everyone who knew him. Now officially part of the Congressional Record, Sanders’ tribute to Burrell was heartfelt and true. “Big Joe was a big man — not only in physical stature, but in heart,” the congressman said. “He loved music, he loved people, and he loved playing in Vermont.” Thanks, Bernie, for spreading the word and honoring Big Joe.

CARACALLA AT THE SECOND FLOOR

HEAVY METAL MEMORIES Last Wednesday, I popped up to Burlington’s Second Floor — previously known as Club Millennium — to check out one of its recurring “Metal Mayhem” shows. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit this was the first time I’d set foot in the building since it housed Club Toast back in the ’90s. Call me slow to let go, but I’ve had a hard time imagining any other venue existing in that location. Well, I’m happy to report that I’m finally recovering from the loss. Second Floor is radically different from my (admittedly fuzzy) memories of Toast. First, it’s a lot cleaner. The redesigned club’s Moroccan-style arches, black lights and dance floor with mirrored columns resemble the set of some ’80s film — Less Than Zero, maybe. But while the décor took some getting used to, the dollar drafts won me over rather quickly. I wondered whether anyone would even show up; there was a sold-out metal show at Higher Ground the same night. One of the bands playing in South Burlington was Helmet — the reigning kings of riff-rock back when I was a regular at Toast. Despite the stiff competition, the Second Floor event was well attended. Apparently, these metal blowouts are

quite popular — as many as 200 people turn out on a regular basis, according to manager Robert Rapatski. By the time the second act was done, the club had filled up. Tin Bitch opened the show, playing an oddly friendly set of mostly death metal. The singer had a good stage presence and an even better growl, but the guitars need some work before they’re truly deadly. Next up were Blood of Saints, whose high-energy performance really got the crowd going. Undaunted by technical difficulties, the band tore through a batch of hardcore-influenced numbers, with more than a few inventive twists and turns. Caracalla were by far the most technically advanced of the groups I saw. Their set was an exercise in controlled chaos, with black-metal-style speed picking and turn-on-a-dime tempo shifts. Actually, watching the bands in that order was like witnessing the evolution of metal from the early ’90s to the present. I left before headliners Cellblock One hit the stage. Stopping by Three Needs before heading home, I was pleasantly surprised by the music the bartender was playing: The Pants and Wide Wail. Both bands were titans of the old Toast scene. Talk about full circle.

A CALL TO ARTISTS

Harpoon Brewery presents

Join us... for a starter

Pine Street Jazz’s swingin’ sets every Wednesday at Parima are a midweek tradition. Featuring a rotating cast of the area’s top jazz singers, the group has been together since 1998. We think they’re about ready for a weekend gig. On Saturday, March 5, at 7 p.m., at Parima, the sextet tackles the tunes of one of jazz music’s most celebrated and unconventional artists — Thelonious Monk. A pioneer of post-bop, Monk was a massive figure in modern music. His melodically unpredictable and highly rhythmic piano style threw those accustomed to cool jazz and the harmonic rules of bebop for a loop. But the world eventually recognized Monk’s maverick genius, and many of his feisty compositions are now standards. Guest singer Matt Wright joins regular Pine Street players Carl Severance, Justin Rose, George Voland, Chris Peterman and Nick Aloi for the performance. A self-confessed “Monk junkie,” Wright proposed the idea for the tribute. It’ll be interesting to hear what he does on Monk’s largely instrumental pieces, but it’s a good bet we’ll hear “In Walked Bud” from the 1967 classic Underground — a vocal tune about ’40s Harlem. So stop by and enjoy some music by one of the most enigmatic composers in jazz history.

STARS, SET YOURSELF ON FIRE

RIK PALIERI, HOBOS & HEROES (Laura Records, CD)

(Arts & Crafts, CD)

Canada is experiencing a musical renaissance of late; fawning critics see the country as a breeding ground for inventive music that isn’t driven by corporate interests. Montréal’s Stars are part of a growing horde of collective-minded musicians who are re-writing the rules of modern rock. Sharing two members with indie darlings Broken Social Scene, the Stars’ latest release, Set Yourself on Fire, is nothing short of a pop miracle. Impeccably produced, the disc brims with infectious melodies, sonic flourishes and poignant lyrics. With touching and sometimes blackly humorous pop tunes, the album achieves a “frame-by-frame” realism reminiscent of the independent films of director Hal Hartley. Lyrical examples of frustration and heartache exist alongside hook-laden musical passages that lean toward the grandiose. Amy Millan’s coquettish voice is indie-rock manna; framed by electronic gurgles and majestic strings, her gentle coo gets under your skin. Anyone who remembers her work on Broken Social Scene’s You Forgot It in People will know what I mean. Vocalist/keyboardist Torquil Campbell’s breathy singing wonderfully complements Millan’s, while the band’s sweeping song structures provide a potent backdrop for both. Stars excel at the existential pop song, fusing sugary sounds with morbid subject matter. Title track “Set Yourself on Fire” finds beauty in bleakness, with each singer describing the inevitability of death. “Another decade getting high until you’re free/there’s nothing after that for you and I,” Campbell sings on the song’s fleeting coda. “Reunion” is a bittersweet tune about homecoming that many of us can relate to. It’s a familiar story, to be sure, but far more compelling here than in the film Garden State. Stars hit their peak with “The Big Fight,” which dispassionately dissects a fraying relationship. “Lied even while you held my hand,” Campbell sings. “It’s death for the living/Yes I am a ghost,” he continues. Millan’s retort is breathtakingly earnest: “He doesn’t want her but he just won’t let her go,” she sings. Straightforward in its depiction of romantic trauma, the tune hits home. Set Yourself on Fire proves that you don’t necessarily have to be retro, progressive or post-anything to make a great record; strong songwriting and convincing performances never go out of style. Stars are joined by fellow Canadians, and Broken Social Scene collaborators, Apostle of Hustle, in an early show at Club Metronome, Sunday, March 6. Local indie-popsters The Smittens open.

CASEY REA

Hinesburg-based musician Rik Palieri is a very busy guy. His 2005 tour schedule includes two gigs in Germany and dates in Phoenix, Kansas City and Asbury Park, as well as an appearance with Utah Phillips’ hobo music revue, called the Rose Tattoo, at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. Like other widely traveled acoustic musicians who make their homes in Vermont, Palieri enjoys a wide and appreciative audience beyond the Green Mountains. His musical journey has been along one. Years of playing a variety of musical instruments have given Palieri a well-earned ease with folk-music forms. His adventures haven’t all been strictly musical, though. He spent time with environmentally minded folkie Pete Seeger as a crewmember on Seeger’s Hudson River sloop boat The Clearwater in the mid-’70s — a unique experience, to be sure. Palieri has toured schools all over the U.S. as an artist-in-residence, and he recently made a number of successful jaunts through Europe and Australia. His latest CD, Hobos & Heroes, was recorded and produced in Germany, where Palieri has found much acclaim. The new disc showcases his easygoing performing style, and includes re-recordings of favorites from previous releases, such as “Hills of Old Vermont, “Freezing in North Dakota” and “You’re Just a Car,” a whimsical little ditty that’s more literal than you might imagine. Although all 16 tracks on Hobos are Palieri originals, it’s plain that he owes much to his heroes. Many of the cuts are folk-festival-ready, full of Seeger and Phillips influences. A singular vocalist and yodeler, as well as a solid guitarist and banjo player, Palieri displays a musicality that only comes from experience. On his strongest material, you can imagine the ghost of folk icon Woody Guthrie hovering over his shoulder. Rik Palieri and German musical pal Wilfried Mengs perform at the Good Times Café in Hinesburg this Thursday, March 3, celebrating the release of a yet another project — Balloon Adventure, a disc of music for children.

Winter Harvest?

T EXHIBIT “Winter Exhibition,” a group show of 13 local artists. Gallerie @ Opaline, Burlington. Through March.

ARTWORK “Ladders and Bridges 6” by Josh Neilson.

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he underground Gallerie @ Opaline is big; with multiple chambers and 15foot ceilings in some areas, the area it represents seems as large as the rest of Burlington’s commercial galleries combined. The space has nevertheless managed to cover its walls quite well in recent years. Its current show, entitled “Winter Exhibition,” does so with 13 Vermont artists, and includes photographs, prints and paintings, lamps, constructions and teapots. Josh Neilson’s “Ladders or Bridges” series consists of white canvases with geometric construction elements growing off of them. In “Ladders or Bridges #5,” the construction bends downward onto the floor like a pachyderm’s trunk. In “Ladders or Bridges #6,” it’s wrapping around the upper left corner of the canvas. Neilson also presents two small, more traditional abstract paintings in the show, “Altered Experiments” #3 and #6. If they really are experiments, these works are successful in the ways they examine patterning, brushwork and value. The two paintings seem loosely related to Hokusai prints of waves, cherry blossoms and mountains. Opaline curator Alex Dostie reluctantly placed two of his own largescale paintings in the exhibition: “The Winter Painting” and “Murder Scene From Above.” Unlike the late David Millstone, whose Millstone Gallery occupied this space in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Dostie is concerned about perceived conflict of interest and doesn’t think curators should showcase their own work. Nevertheless, the scale of his two large pieces, both about 5 by 6 feet, add a nice dimension to show. Dostie’s images are interesting as well. “The Winter Painting” is like a giant, see-through snowflake, falling in a negative space of turquoise Latex paint. The interior of the flake

TALKS/ EVENTS exposes a colorful abstraction. In “Murder Scene From Above,” a crumpled red figure appears in the lower left of a white field. Did Dostie actually witness such a death in the snow, or is it simply a graphic representation of red forms on white, with a title meant to tease? Either way, it’s intriguing. Ray Barnes’ “History of the World” is another large-scale piece; his 7-foot-long canvas reads like a smaller version of Jose Clemente Orozco’s murals at Dartmouth College. Orozco portrayed the European conquest and settlement of North America; Barnes has an even bigger vision. If his painting doesn’t quite live up to its name, there are at least some nice passages of oil painting among the cows, clouds and figures. Abby Manock’s title “Arch” may be an abbreviation of “architecture.” Her work on two long, scroll-like sheets of heavy paper, curled at the bottoms, comprise architectonic drawings of vertical forms connected to horizontal structures below. One drawing is a series of built-up cubes; the other is made of hexagonal forms. Cindy Chittenden’s “Boy on a Horse” and “Milady” are black-and-

white photos taken in the Dominican Republic. She has a good eye for composition, and the smile on the little girl in “Milady” suggests that Chittenden can make her subjects feel at ease. A descendant of Vermont’s first governor, Thomas Chittenden, she is one of five young artists in this show who were raised in the Colchester area. As for the “craft” pieces in the show, Jeremy Ayers’ five teapots are nicely designed but nearly identical. Each is cream-colored with a sort of corduroy texture, and a dark knob on the lid. The five quirky table lamps by Kristen L’Esperance are also functional, with similar shades but differing bases. One of them has a Miro-esque ceramic base glazed like bright-red Fiestaware. Another lamp has a twopiece base with a clear measuring beaker below and a contemporary, ceramic upper portion in orange and green. L’Esperance is also a painter, represented locally by the DollAnstadt Gallery.

SHORTS

Cursed ★★

W CRASHING BORE Eisenberg and Ricci find themselves on a collision course with cheesiness after a highway mishap.

hen you make horror movies for a third of a century, you are likely to lay the occasional egg. With his latest, Wes Craven serves up a particularly scrambled mess. The legendary director reached what arguably could be called his innovative apex about a decade ago (now that’s scary) during the fertile period in which he capped his Freddy Kruger franchise with the teasingly conceptual Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (’94) and inaugurated another with the self-referential Scream (’96). With Cursed, Craven takes a halfhearted stab at recycling the Scream formula, but the result is a celluloid whimper at best. Christina Ricci stars (that’s kind of scary, too) in the self-referential saga of an orphaned brother and sister who are attacked by a werewolf following a highway accident and — well, you know how this works — slowly but surely realize that they are turning into werewolves themselves. The brother is played by Jesse Eisenberg. He’s a bit of a geek, so he’s not that unhappy about developing superhuman strength and sensory powers. They prove handy when it comes to dealing with the high school bully who dates the teen babe of his dreams. Also, being a geek, he accesses on the Internet and at his local library a wealth of lore on werewolves and their ways, even as he’s becoming one. That’s as close to a core joke as we get in Cursed. Just as the young people in the Scream series joked about the unwritten rules that governed the slasher genre at the same time they were falling victim to them, Eisenberg and his sister banter at great length about the protocols relating to the mythical world of lycanthropy, even as that world becomes their own. Some of that banter is borderline droll. Most of it makes “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” look like it was written by Oscar Wilde. The script, sad to say, is the work of Kevin Williamson (I Know What You Did Last Summer), once the king of the ironic Hollywood horror film. He’s fallen on hard times in recent years and reaches what arguably could be called his

innovative nadir with this lackluster undertaking. Low points include Eisenberg waking up naked in his back yard the morning after he’s attacked and scrambling up the front of his home into his bedroom window as his neighbor looks on dumbfounded. He and Ricci immediately develop a craving for raw meat, which they indulge even as they initially refuse to accept the truth about what’s happening to them. At work, Ricci suddenly asks a friend, “What smells so great?” and sets off to find out. One can’t help but feel embarrassed for the Ice Storm star as she slinks from cubicle to cubicle, sniffing coworkers until she finds one who’s nursing a juicy nosebleed. This is only one of several instances in which Williamson seems to get his werewolf and vampire lore confused. The whole jokey, self-referential thing doesn’t work. The script and acting are hapless. The picture’s pointlessness is underscored by pointless cameos courtesy of Craig Kilborn and Scott Baio (definitely scary). Which leaves special effects as the only possible saving grace. Unfortunately, more of the film’s budget seems to have gone into luring Baio out of retirement than into state-ofthe-art CGIs. You don’t get a full-on look at the creatures in Cursed often, but when you do, what’s most likely to shock is the lazy, cartoony fashion in which they’re rendered. All in all, Cursed is destined to join the ample ranks of Craven’s forgettable fare alongside misfires of fright such as Chiller, Shocker, Invitation to Hell, Deadly Blessing and Deadly Friend. A better title for this one might’ve been Deadly Dull. Not that it doesn’t make movie history. Until this past Friday, the worst werewolf film ever made was, hairy hands down, Mike Nichols’ Wolf. Cursed now assumes that dubious distinction, and someone is going to have to try very hard to wrestle it away. Or take the tack that Craven did here, namely not to try at all. m

A VERY LONG ENGAGEMENT★★★★★ Audrey Tautou stars in Jean-Pierre (Amelie) Jeunet’s WWI-era drama about a woman who refuses to accept the reality of her fiance’s death. With Gaspard Ulliel and Clovis Cornillac. (134 min, R) ARE WE THERE YET?★1/2 Brian (Beethoven, Snow Dogs) Levant brings us this comedy about a ladies’ man who attempts to score points with the woman of his dreams by driving her two kids, who live in Portland, Oregon, to visit her in Vancouver, where she’s been forced to find work. Ice Cube and Nia Long star. (91 min, PG) BAD EDUCATION★★★★ The latest from Pedro Almodovar stars Gael Garcia Bernal in the story of a young film director whose life is changed when an old school pal pays an unexpected visit. Fele Martinez and Javier Camara costar. (109 min, NC-17) BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE★★1/2 Wayne (Smoke) Wang directs this family film about a young Florida girl who adopts an orphaned dog. Based on the bestseller by the same name. Starring Jeff Daniels, Cicely Tyson and Dave Matthews. (106 min, PG) BEING JULIA★★★ Annette Bening and Shaun Evans star in Istvan Szabo’s character study about an aging London theater actress who suffers something of a breakdown until love comes into her life in the form of a young man half her age. With Jeremy Irons and Michael Gambon. (104 min, R) BOOGEYMAN★1/2 Stephen (Get Carter) Kay directs this terror attempt in which a young man returns to his childhood home to confront horrifying visions which have haunted him throughout his life.

RETURN TO KANDAHAR

BY SUSAN GREEN

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Leading Ladies of the selections, predominantly nonfiction fare, will focus on youth. One of the few features, Caterina in the Big City is an Italian comedydrama about an adolescent girl struggling to adjust after her family moves from the Tuscan seaside to Rome. This will be a U.S. sneak preview of a picture that was a big hit back in its home country. It’s due to open commercially in early April. Stay Until Tomorrow, set in Rhode Island, is the tale of a twentysomething soap-opera star questioning what the future holds when she returns to her hometown. Norwich resident Nora Jacobson’s Nothing Like Dreaming concerns a troubled Vermont teen who befriends an older man with problems of his own. Burlington folksinger Rachel Bissex, who passed away last week, plays the girl’s mother. The disease that plagues so many women — breast cancer — is the subject of One in Eight: Janice’s Journey. It follows someone who has been diagnosed and treated as she searches for possible environmental causes. Brattleboro’s geographic location means films — and audiences — often come from New York, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. “We do feel like a tri-state festival,” Mizgerd notes. In Downside Up, for example, director Nancy Kelly examines the transformation of an abandoned North Adams factory, where her parents and grand-

parents once worked, into the nation’s largest contemporary art museum, called Mass MOCA. From elsewhere in America, Ferry Tales is a glimpse of the women who contribute to a curious subculture on the boats bringing commuters from Staten Island to Manhattan and back again. The 40-minute documentary by Katja Esson, unspooling on the festival’s opening night, was an Oscar nominee last year in the Best Documentary Short category. Paola di Florio’s Home of the Brave, which premiered at Sundance in 2004, chronicles the life and 1965 assassination of civil-rights activist Viola Liuzzo. She was killed in Selma, Alabama. Stockard Channing of “The West Wing” narrates. From Israel, Watermarks looks back at the Nazi era with the story of champion Jewish swimmers in Austria who fled certain persecution or extermination. Now in their eighties, they reunite for the first time since the Holocaust.

The Middle East takes center stage as well in Return to Kandahar, about an Afghani-Canadian journalist who searches for a childhood friend after the fall of the Taliban. For a Place Under the Heavens tackles the tension between Islamic fundamentalists and more liberal thinkers in Pakistan. Africa is the setting of Roots of Change by Marlboro filmmakers Alan Dater and Lisa Merton. They began shooting this doc about Kenyan environmental activist Wangari Maathai before she won the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. It’s a work in progress, so the festival will only show clips. La Cueca Sola explores the bloody consequences of the 1973 coup in Chile. Novelist Isabel Allende goes on camera to remember the county’s numerous “disappeared.” For more information on the Brattleboro Women’s Film Festival, which includes panel discussions and an art auction, call 258-9100, or visit http://www.womensfilmfestival.org. 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.

Jill became a NUN when Clem left her for a comely EWE. Vinnie told us to go to Vegas and win some do-re-MI. Billy Bob WON the Lotto, but he’s still trailer trash. We waited ten minutes, but the rain made it feel like HOURS. Someone around the office has an EYE for the ladies. You’d never guess it, but Arnold has a WEE one. The shy little leprechaun could only say “Tee-HEE.” MEIN Kampf is an iffy choice for summer beach reading. Lots of EWERS shows up in the paintings of Vermeer. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS A GENERIC ENTITY. 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: Almost everyone is there.

A

newspaper reporter got a restraining order against an abusive ex-boyfriend, a radio disc jockey who nonetheless stabbed her to death at midday in their small town. That may sound like the premise of some TV cop show, but the murder was local, and a key motivation for organizers of the Brattleboro Women’s Film Festival, which debuted in 1992. (It also led to Vermont’s 1993 anti-stalking law.) The fest’s 14th annual edition will take place on three consecutive weekends beginning March 4. Initially a memorial for that victim of domestic violence, the event has grown beyond the original inspiration even though it continues to benefit the Women’s Crisis Center of Windham County. “The festival has really taken on a life of its own,” says Cathy Mizgerd, a member of the publicity committee. “It’s really amazing how much work folks put into this.” For starters, each year they raise the $20,000 budget, half from cash contributions or grants, the rest through in-kind donations. The festival staff is comprised entirely of about 25 volunteers. All box office proceeds go directly to the crisis center — last year that came to $15,000 thanks to sales of more than 1800 tickets. “The community is so receptive to our efforts,” Mizgerd suggests. The 2005 festival is slated to screen 22 films from eight countries in two venues: the downtown HookerDunham and Latchis theaters. Many

THE INCREDIBLES★★★ A shoe-in for this year’s Best Animated Picture Oscar, Pixar’s latest tells the story of a superhero who’s retired from crime-fighting and relocated to the suburbs, where he battles boredom and a bulging waistline as an insurance claims adjuster. Featuring the voices of Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter and Samuel L. Jackson. Directed by Brad Bird. (118 min, PG) THE LIFE AQUATIC★★★★ Bill Murray stars in the new one from Rushmore director Wes Anderson, the offbeat saga of an oceanographer who undergoes an existential crisis after his partner is eaten by a giant shark.

LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS★★★ Jim Carrey stars in this big-screen adaptation of the popular children’s book series by Daniel Handler. He plays a scheming count consumed with the desire to relieve three orphans placed in his care of their vast inheritance. With Meryl Streep, Billy Connolly, Liam Aiken and, of course, Jude Law. (113 min, PG) MAN OF THE HOUSE★1/2 Stephen (Rock Star) Herek directs this fish-out-of-water comedy about a grizzled FBI agent assigned to protect a cheerleading squad from a lurking threat. Tommy Lee Jones stars. (97 min, PG-13) MEET THE FOCKERS★★★ As Ben Stiller’s daffy mom and dad, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand complicate premarital matters when in-laws are introduced to one another in this sequel to the 2000 hit. With Blythe Danner and Robert DeNiro. Directed by Jay Roach. (PG-13) MILLION DOLLAR BABY★★★★★ Clint Eastwood follows the highly acclaimed Mystic River with this highly acclaimed character study in which a down-on-hisluck trainer takes on a spunky young fighter and helps her rise through the ranks of women’s boxing. Starring Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. (137 min, PG-13) POOH'S HEFFALUMP MOVIE★★★ Brenda Blethyn, Jim Cummings and David Ogden Stiers lend their voices to the latest bigscreen outing based on A. A. Milne’s beloved children’s books. This time around, Pooh, Piglet and Tigger learn about acceptance and diversity with a little help from a much-feared monster. (68 min, G) SIDEWAYS★★★★1/2 Alexander (About Schmidt) Payne directed and co-wrote this buzz-happy story about two old friends who take a wine-tasting road trip and assess their lives along the way.

This time around, the magical mask makes its way into the hands of a cartoonist’s newborn son. (86 min, PG) THE AVIATOR★★★ Howard Hughes was an innovator and a risk taker. So it’s ironic that Martin Scorsese’s screen portrait of him is the least audacious and adventurous movie he’s ever made. Leonardo DiCaprio does a captivating impression, but the script never quite brings its subject meaningfully to life. With Cate Blanchette, Alec Baldwin and, it goes without saying, Jude Law. (117 min, PG-13)

LOST IN SPACE?

Anton Chekhov and the U.S. Space program: It’s an odd combination. But what do you expect from a dance theater company that calls itself 33 Fainting Spells? Not only does the Seattle-based company’s name reference the work of the Russian writer, its current show, Our Little Sunbeam, contrasts the melodrama of his Ivanov with the shining ecstasy of American astronauts on the Mercury Program as they looked at the entire Earth from above for the first time. With a measure of Ingmar Bergman footage and other odd ends tossed in, it adds up a rich commentary on 20th-century space exploration.

33 FAINTING SPELLS Thursday through Saturday, March 3-5, FlynnSpace, Burlington, 8 p.m. $22. Info, 863-5966.

SEVEN DAYS

<calendar > scene@”NURSING AND RACE” UVM WOMEN’S CENTER, BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, NOON. In 1879, Mary Elizabeth Mahoney became the country’s first professionally trained African-American nurse, and Willi Coleman doesn’t want you to forget it. The University of Vermont history Professor and Vice Provost for Multicultural Affairs mentioned Mahoney in her lunchtime lecture. In fact, Coleman, who is black, warned her half-dozen, mostly white listeners that she just might call them, late at night, demanding to know if they remembered Mahoney’s name. The passionate professor was only joking about the phone calls, but it was clear that talking about women of color isn’t just her job — it’s her mission. “Part of my work on this planet,” she explained, “is to annoy people with the faces and the names of these black women.” Her session on nursing and race was part of the Women’s Center’s weekly “Women at Noon” series. In her talk, the historian explained that nurses occupy a unique position in our society. She cited a 2002 survey in which Americans were asked which professionals they trusted most. Firefighters came in first; nurses were second. Nurses, she said, are often the only health-care professionals who treat the poor. But though they cared for the sick and injured, for years black women were barred from becoming licensed nurses. Nursing schools began appearing in 1800 (for women, who weren’t allowed to be trained as doctors); by the early 1900s, there were thousands of them. Coleman estimates, however, that until as late as 1926, 99 percent were closed to black women. Even when they could get an education, she said, black nurses couldn’t join the American Nursing Association until 1948. Coleman wasn’t just delivering a history lesson — today, she charged, black nurses are being left behind once again, as the profession becomes increasingly specialized. Black nurses often don’t advance beyond the “bottom rung” of the profession. And their numbers are actually shrinking. When Coleman concluded, she apologized for not having any solutions to the problem; those were up to the audience to provide. As a historian, she said, “My job is to put that crap on the table and let everybody smell it.” CATHY RESMER

LIVE MUSIC

Guys like Bach and Mozart tend to dominate the classical concert scene. Granted, they were prolific, but alas, they’re no longer available interviews. The eight-member Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble attempts to remedy this dead-man preference, by dedicating itself to “modern” chamber music masterpieces and recently commissioned works. Its current program presents Paul Moravec’s harmonic quartet Tempest Fantasy, a musical meditation on Shakespeare’s stormy play. The piece won a Pulitzer Prize in 2004, and Moravec will be present at the concerts and three separate music-writing workshops. The VCME also plays works by Shostakovich and Vermont composer Larry Read.

GIRL POWER

When Madeleine Kunin was elected governor of Vermont in 1985, she became the first woman to hold the state’s highest executive office. After three terms, she went on to serve as U.S. deputy secretary of education. Later, Clinton appointed her ambassador to Switzerland. It’s fitting that Kunin is launching the state’s new Vermont Women’s History Project, which strives to document and celebrate the political involvement of ladies from all periods of the state’s herstory. Expect the findings to range from colonial-era salons to present-day activism.

SPLIT SCREEN

Deadpan silent film star Buster Keaton was a paragon of physical comedy, a prince of pratfalls. In addition to choreographing his own Vaudeville-esque routines, and doing all his own stunts, he also directed, designed and built many of the sets used in his films. One film really put him to the test, though. In the 1927 College he plays an idealistic freshman who tries to attract a girlfriend by taking up various sports. The pole-vaulting scene was beyond even Keaton’s athletic abilities. So he hired an Olympic contender to stand, er, spring in for him. Electric cellist Gideon Freudmann offers suitably humorous live accompaniment to the movie, with an original score.

‘COLLEGE’ Friday, March 4, Vergennes Opera House, 7:30 p.m. $8. Info, 877-6737.

DREAM SEQUENCE

We’re still a long way from the summer solstice, but there are warm breezes blowing at UVM’s Royall Tyler Theater. The drama department is staging Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in which four young lovers flee into an enchanted wood full of fairies. Two of them are in a royal marital tiff. Country-bumpkin players bumble through the forest, their chief is made to look like an ass, and those characters not playing stupid are busy playing Cupid. The ones who make it through this school of Bard knocks wake up wiser, and more forgiving of their partners.

Dear Lola, How can my husband and I keep his penis from accidentally backing out of me when we’re making the beast with two backs? We’ll be going great guns when all of a sudden he’ll be out of there. He’s not losing his erection — just his direction. He’ll say, “Oops,” we’ll both sort of laugh, he’ll reposition himself, and we’ll start up again. It’s all in good humor, but talk about anti-climactic! Got any ideas for how we can prevent this from happening? Wondering in Williston Dear Wondering, Maybe you should try curbing your enthusiasm. If you get too fired up, you may be creating a moving target. Think slow dance. Alternatively, think circle dance. If you rotate while he thrusts, you’ll keep him in place without losing that nice nudging action. Size may also be an issue. But even if your slot’s a tad roomy for his tab, you can still position yourselves to achieve a better fit. Bringing your knees to your chest, for example, shortens the length of the vagina. Experiment and see what works. If you view this as an excuse to play with new approaches, you can’t go wrong. Love, Lola

ARIES

(March 21-Apr. 19): Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” is a big star now. But on his way to the top, he has sometimes had a laid-back attitude towards ambition. “As long as I can remember,” he has said, “I wanted to sleep late, stay up late, and do nothing in between.” Believe it or not, Aries, I suggest you adopt an equally leisurely approach in the coming week. The best thing you can do to serve your burning desires in the long run is to explore the healing mysteries of being a lazy bum right now.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Harvest time in March? That’s what the astrological omens say for you Bulls. During the next few weeks you’ll be reaping the fruits of all the seeds you’ve sown since your last birthday. One of the pesky weeds you didn’t uproot will also be reaching full bloom, but the tiny bit of blight it engenders will be vastly overshadowed by the richness of your rewards. I suggest you throw a party or two to celebrate your bounty, express gratitude to your helpers, and offer forgiveness to your doubters.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Events in the coming week may be difficult for some of you to deal with. They will include intense encounters with peace, love, joy and understanding, as well as possible brushes with extravagant beauty, lyrical delight and inspiring discoveries. There will be a dearth of storylines that feature betrayal, abuse, pettiness, greed, extortion, disease and explosions. Therefore, Gemini, you should proceed with extreme caution if you’re a jaded hipster who’s suspicious of feeling really good. Ask yourself: “Am I ready to stop equating cynicism with insight? Do I dare take the risk that exposing myself to uplifting encounters might dull my intelligence?” If you doubt your ability to handle all the relaxing breakthroughs, you’d better take strong measures to evade them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

“The average river requires a million years to move a grain of sand one hundred miles,” says science writer James Trefil. The work you’ve been doing on yourself these past two years, Cancerian, must sometimes have seemed as maddeningly gradual. The good news is that you are now in the last few months of this slow-motion, long-term project. If you can sustain your focus, you’ll finish up around your birthday, having created such a strong inner sense of sanctuary that you will forever after be able to feel at home in the world no matter where you are.

Spankings can raise your intelligence, reports The Weekly World News. Experiments by the Lucerne Institute of Psychological Research showed that college students did better on their exams after having their buns whacked. Increased adrenalin flow may have contributed to this surprising phenomenon, the psychologists speculated. “The adrenalin combined with the endorphins generated to minimize the pain, and together they opened up previously underutilized neural pathways — turning them into IQ hyperlinks,” said one researcher. I bring this up, Libra, because you’ve got a big life test coming up. If I were you, I’d be willing to try innovative measures to make sure you ace it, including maybe even having a ping-pong paddle administered to your backside. The preparations that helped you through rites of passage in the past may not work this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I have a tricky assignment for you this week, Leo. It will require you to display an open-hearted curiosity as you live on the edge of your understanding. It will ask you to be cheerful and optimistic as you question as many of your certainties as you can. Your challenge is to embody the attitude suggested by Caroline Myss in this passage from her CD, Spiritual Madness: The Necessity of Meeting God in Darkness: “The moment you come to trust chaos, you see God clearly. Chaos is divine order, versus human order. Change is divine order, versus human order. When the chaos becomes safety to you, then you know you’re seeing God clearly.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming week, people may have a lot to tell you about what you shouldn’t think, how you shouldn’t act and whom you shouldn’t hang out with. Their counsel will be useful mostly in its revelations about them. If I were you, I wouldn’t actually heed much of what they say. What you should trust, though, is your calm, lucid inner voice, especially when it gives you intuitions about what you shouldn’t think, how you shouldn’t act and whom you shouldn’t hang out with. This is an ideal time to get clearer about the life you don’t want to live.

or Radiohead, or read Noam Chomsky’s radical critiques of American foreign policy. If you’re an atheistic intellectual, take a workshop in ecstatic Sufi dancing or a class in Buddhist meditation. I think you catch my drift.

in its last days. In the 1800s, renowned Hasidic Rabbi Nachman grieved for the world’s “widespread atheism and immorality.” Dillard offers more examples, concluding, “There never was a more holy age than ours, and never a less … There is no whit less enlightenment under the tree by your street than there was under the Buddha’s bo tree.” Go sit under that tree, Pisces. The time for your awakening is now at hand.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): I’d love to see you reach out to the people who you think should have reached out to you by now. I’d love to see you heal rifts with former allies and rebuild bridges you burned down. Even if it feels like a slightly awkward compromise, I’d love to see you offer your services to X-factors and wild cards and loose cannons that aren’t exactly making the best use of their powers. How about it, Capricorn? Are you willing to bend a little to gain a lot? Can you imagine giving more slack to flawed possibilities, hoping that your largesse will help them fix their flaws?

(Jan. 20-Feb. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): AQUARIUS 18): The astrological omens are unam-

In the coming days, Scorpio, you will almost certainly become pregnant — if not by literally conceiving a fetus, then by germinating the metaphorical equivalent. Do you have any idea about what’s getting ready to sprout within you? I hope so, because if you do, it means you’re attuned to the secrets that have been ripening in the fertile depths. But if you don’t know anything about the new life that’s stirring, drop everything and find out. You need to be a fully conscious participant in the gestation.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Americans live inside their own private echo chambers,” says syndicated writer Matt Zoller Seitz, “endlessly revisiting things they already know they like and avoiding exposure to anything new and different.” Your assignment this week, Sagittarius, is to ask yourself if you fit Seitz’s description, and then — if you do — to escape your private echo chamber. So for instance, if you’re a tattooed pagan performance artist, attend a rodeo or NASCAR race; if you’re a Christian Girl Scout leader, listen to Ani DiFranco

biguous: In the coming weeks, the entire universe will be conspiring to help you add to your assets, increase your value, and acquire more resources. Does that mean you’ll get a raise or inherit your great uncle’s ostrich farm? Does it mean you’ll enroll in a training program to upgrade your skills and expand your know-how? Or does it mean you’ll cultivate a previously underdeveloped part of your personality that will then become more attractive and desirable? I can’t say for sure, Aquarius. How it all unfolds will depend on your priorities — and on how aggressively you cooperate with the universal conspiracy.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): In her book, For the Time Being, Annie Dillard says that throughout history many people have thought civilization was on the verge of collapse. Around 300 B.C., Hindus believed they were living in a “degenerate and unfortunate time” known as the Kali Yuga — the lowest point in the great cosmic cycle. In 426 A.D., the Christian writer Augustine mourned that the world was
