My dream vacation would be... to sail in the South Pacific and take as many excursions inland exploring the wild volcanic mountains. If I weren’t a Realtor, I would... help teach women how to handle yachts so that they feel more confident behind the helm of their own boat no matter what the size. My favorite VT restaurant is... the new Tilley’s Café on Church Street in Burlington.
If I had a million dollars I would... I would set up a foundation in my late father’s name that is designed to give underprivileged children the opportunity to experience sailing offshore.

Before I was a Realtor one of my interesting jobs was... a French travel agent (internship) in Paris at Transalpino, where no one really knew that I was an American... challenging conversations with often frustrated French travelers.
On a Saturday night you will most likely find me... talking to our wonderful customers at Tilley’s Café and dancing up a storm at Retronome. My weirdest superstition or paranoia is... Not so much a superstition, but a slight uneasiness with the several ocean crossings on board a 44’ sloop sailing through the Bermuda Triangle waters on the way to Bermuda.
Something people are surprised to find out about me is... I have my U.S. Coast Guard License for both a ‘6 pac’ license, as well as a license for yachts up to 50 tons, 100 miles offshore, that I lived in Paris, speak French...and am one of the founders of the new Tilley’s Café.

weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER
Town Meeting Day Online
SECEDE FROM SECESSIONISTS The Confederacy invaded Vermont once before. Look it up: St. Albans Raid, October 1864. The Second Vermont Republic [“Is Second Vermont Republic Affiliated with Racists?” February 28] needs to respect Vermont’s history and Vermont’s contemporary image. Buddying up with Dixiecrats and “revising” what Lincoln and the Civil War were about are not Vermont issues, but, rather, issues insulting to Vermonters who are concerned about how to get this country as a whole more in sync with Vermont. By attacking John Odum, the Green Mountain Daily blog, the Green Mountain Anarchist Collective, and all the Vermonters who have expressed “shock and awe” over this story in the last few weeks, SVR is out of sync with Vermont and its traditions that value free speech, tolerance, justice and affirmative action. SVR should cut all ties to people and groups who are “at war” with immigrants, blacks, unions and workers, gays, Jews, women, etc., and thereby “at war” with Vermont. If SVR wants to join the Confederacy, then it should go into exile in South Carolina. By linking Vermont to the League of the South and Italian (Fascist?) Separatist movements, SVR has “seceded” from what the people and history of this state are all about. It’s disgraceful! Fix it! Not later, now! (And remember, SVR, I want

May I offer a friendly correction to reporter Mike Ives’ fine piece in last week’s paper [“Scene@,” February 28]? He reports me as saying I was the only adaptive skier in Vermont and I said that I was the only adaptive nordic sit skier in Vermont. After the success of last week’s clinic, I am hopeful that that will change. Sit skiing is done in both nordic and alpine varieties. Vermont has many adaptive alpine sit skiers who ski at many of Vermont’s ski areas. Indeed, Vermont is the former home of two of the nation’s most decorated disabled alpine skiers: Four-time paralympian and five-time gold medalist, Chris Waddell, and twotime paralympian Sarah Will. Burlington’s own Stephen Lawlor is the newest alpine paralympic hopeful shredding up the trails. Look out, Vancouver! In addition to the Northeast Disabled Athletic Association’s (NDAA) nordic skiing, Vermonters with disabilities can find great adaptive skiing programs at Sugarbush and Pico run by Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports (VASS), at Bromley, run by the Bart Center, and at many other local ski areas including Okemo, Stowe, Sugarbush and Sunapee. Whether alpine or nordic, it’s all
In last week’s “Local Matters” there was an article highlighting the fifth annual Citizens Action Day (CAD) organized by Vermonters for a Clean Environment, Vermont Alliance of Conservation Voters, Rural Vermont, Vermont Natural Resources Council, and Vermont Public Interest Research Group [“Vermonters Lobby For Environmental Legislation in Montpelier,” February 21]. Unfortunately, as the article mentioned, the Valentine’s Day snowstorm dramatically altered the event. Even with the snowy conditions, 12 brave souls made the trek to the Statehouse, one from as far away as Brattleboro. However, it is important to note that there were over 160 RSVPs. We believe this is a strong indication of how passionate Vermonters are about protecting the uniqueness of our state and the valuable natural resources found within our borders. We want to take this opportunity to thank all of those who attended CAD, those who were intending to before the storm altered your plans, and the legislators who took the time to meet with the participants. During the day there was a great deal of conversation between legislators and the citizen lobbyists. The back and forth

FARM HARM I must have missed the point in the story about “Rita� [“Vermont’s Foreign Dairy Workers Face New Hardship: Sending Money Home,� February 21] dealing with immigration. Was Rita looking for sympathy because her illegal, underpaid workers cannot send money out of the country without the smiling approval of the rest of us? Although it’s a pitiful situation for everyone involved, the fact remains that your quasi slaves, Rita, are illegal, and that presents a series of problems.
What happens when they become ill and need medical care? Of course, since we’re a humane society, they are given the care they need at low or no cost. But who pays for it? The middle-class physically pays and the low-income folks pay in blame. “Oh, those low-income Medicaid people who are always looking for a free lunch.� Hospitals are facing volatile financial situations, and the whole health-care system is straining beneath the burden of high costs and not enough money. It is the number, Rita. We are not
set up to deal with the rapidly expanding numbers and the inability to shore up the bloat. What happened to “support the local economy?� It has been proven over and over that Vermont can sustain itself, but not if untold amounts of money are being shipped out and the population figured in as sustainable is being wildly expanded. Yes, I know we are a nation of immigrants, but in the past there has been a controlled tally of newcomers, health screenings and strategic job placement, not replacement. If the farmers would consider producing a product that is in demand, rather than pumping more milk into an ever-growing surplus, the farmers might be able to pay people a decent wage and hire a local crew. Pat Ullom ORWELL
HOUSE OF KEMP In your recent article [“IBMigrants,� February 21] you highlighted some of the accomplish-
ments of retired IBM employee Richard Kemp. I would like to further recognize Richard’s contributions to affordable housing in Vermont. As a longtime resident of the Flynn Avenue Housing Cooperative, Richard played an active role in forming and promoting limited equity housing in Vermont. He serves on a number of local and state boards, including the board of directors for the Champlain Housing Trust (a.k.a. Burlington Community Land Trust). During this time Richard advocated for affordable housing, cooperative housing and land stewardship. NeighborWorksŽ America recently awarded Richard the Dorothy Richardson Volunteer Award for our district. This regional award recognizes contributions to community organizing and affordable housing. It is awarded annually to three individuals from the New England region. It seems that we should thank IBM for their foresight in bringing a natural community leader to our area. Josh Slade COLCHESTER
CORRECTION: Due to a production error, the second part of last week’s opinion piece by Judith Levine, “The Trouble With Normal,� was left out of the paper. The piece can be read in its entirety at www.sevendaysvt.com. Also, last week’s story about the Vermont secessionist movement [“Is Second Vermont Republic Affiliated with Racists?�] reported that blogger Thomas Rowley “took aim� at several members of SVR’s advisory board, including Jason Sorens and Marco Bassani. Rowley has never written about Sorens, and has never mentioned Bassani directly. Finally, last week’s story about Citizen Action Day mistakenly called the Montpelier-based Toxics Action Center the Toxics Action Network. We regret the errors.

For years I have been running funky ads with puns and crazy tag lines but I’m feeling the need for change — at least temporarily! So what to do?? Over the next few months I am going to do away with the zany stuff and talk about the great stuff we sell and how it can improve your home and even your quality of life!! Let’s start with the shower — THE THERMOSTATIC SHOWER SYSTEM. Your basic pressure balance shower valve is okay — but the future is in thermostatic. More water, more choices, more precise temperature control, and you can regulate ow from a trickle to full blast. The heart of this system is a thermostatic valve which has a dial to regulate temperature. Water ows through the thermostat at terric rates of 8-20 gallons per minute. The water is emitted from the thermostat at your set temperature and it then runs to the volume controls. Volume controls are positive on and off valves that control each shower xture from showerhead to body spray to hand shower. Each shower xture can be run separately or all at one time. You can run multiple xtures off of one thermostatic valve because of the high ow rates. Thus thermostatic systems enable you to create your own unique shower experience. Please make sure to check with your plumber to ascertain your water usage capabilities. See the high tech diagram of a typical thermostatic system — or stop by Close To Home to explore all the latest in thermostatic systems and beyond! Thank you.

t was one year ago this week that the longtime chief of the Montpeculiar bureau of the Associated Press committed the dastardly act that got him fired. Are you sitting down for this? You see, March 8, 2006, marked the kickoff of “Sunshine Week.” On its website — www.sunshineweek.org/ — Sunshine Week is defined as “a national initiative to open a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information.” The Associated Press, the world’s largest news service, is a lead partner in “Sunshine Week” with the American Society of Newspaper Editors. Christopher Graff, for the second year in a row, offered Vermont Associated Press subscribers — which are just about all the state’s dailies — a column written by Democratic U.S. Sen. Patrick J. Leahy. Leahy’s column condemned the erosion of the Freedom of Information Act in recent years. St. Patrick started it off like this: As we take stock during the second annual Sunshine Week, we confront the disturbing reality that the foundations of our open government are under direct assault from the first White House in modern times that is openly hostile to the public’s right to know. Somebody, however, really did not like what Sen. Leahy wrote. About two weeks later, on March 20, Graff opened a letter from Larry Laughlin, the AP’s Northern New England bureau chief, that started off like this: “This is to inform you that your employment at the Associated Press has been terminated effective immediately.” Why? “Your decision to allow an elected official’s editorial comments to run unfettered on the wire March 8,” wrote Ol’ Larry, “compromised the integrity and impartiality of the AP’s news report.” This from a management type of the Associated Press, the news service that demonstrated its integrity and value to the general public by swallowing, hook, line and sinker, every outrageous lie the Bush administration fed the press to successfully launch its illegal war in Iraq. Had we Americans the kind of Freedom of Information Act Sen. Leahy was calling for in his “Sunshine Week” column that got Graff fired, we might not be at war in Iraq today — with no end in sight. The Vermont congressional delegation responded to Graff ’s dismissal with a letter to Mr. Tom Curley, president of the Associated Press. “There have been many reports suggesting the reasons for Mr. Graff ’s abrupt termination,” wrote Sens. Leahy and Jim Jeffords along with then Congressman Bernie Sanders. “Although we choose not to fuel speculation, we believe that if any of these reports were founded, it would represent a serious breach of trust by AP with its loyal Vermont readership. If AP wants to repair this rift, it must work to clear the air — to let the sunshine in — on this most unfortunate conclusion.” To which Curley replied: “You know we cannot and will not

Mr. Sneyd is highly respected and his work reflects the same high standard Graff set. Which is why the “new” AP will probably fool the “experts,” show Vermont who’s boss, and bring in someone new from out of state. Sure enough, AP tapped John Curran from their Atlantic City, New Jersey, bureau to fill Graff ’s seat as bureau chief in Montpeculiar. Nice guy. Curran and the wife and kids love it here. Sen. Sanders Update — Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist with the University of Chicago degree and the Brooklyn accent, has been in Washington, D.C., for 16 years plus. He’s been in the House for all 16 and now has commenced year 17 in the 100-member Senate. He’s an Independent aligned with the Democrats. And, yes, it’s perfectly clear he’s loving it. “It is a very different institution from the House,” said Ol’ Bernardo on Monday. “In the Senate, most of your good work is done without anybody knowing about it, especially when you’re in the majority.” In fact, Sanders let out that he had been able to get an extra $500 million into the budget for Head Start over the next three years without anyone taking notice. “It is done quietly,” said the U.S. Senate’s only Independent. “That is the difference between the Senate and the House. A lot of the important work takes place off the floor in quiet meetings, in fighting for what you believe, and if you’re successful, no one even necessarily knows about it. But your numbers and your language are in the bill that goes forward.” As everyone knows, the Washington media has not exactly paid much attention to the Vermont socialist so far. Instead, the national news media, for the most part, continues its disintegration into soap-opera-style political hype. It’s all about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. “The media has decided we have to begin the 2008 presidential election literally the day after the congressional election,” said Sanders. “I think that’s bad for the country.” Instead, the press should focus on the issues facing the American people, he said, “not Barack Obama’s middle name and Hillary’s hairdo.” And who says size doesn’t matter? “When you are among 100 [in the Senate] rather than 435 [in the House] and you’re in the majority,” said Sanders, “and there are 19 people on the committee and 10 on the majority that you’ve got to convince, it’s a lot easier doing that than convincing 218.” The 218 reference is to how many House members it takes to get something passed on the floor, which Ol’ Bernardo was
able to do on occasion. “It’s a very different type of work,” said Sanders. “You prefer it because you can move a lot quicker.” And, uh, we had to ask: Is the parking better for a U.S. Senator? Sanders broke into a big, long laugh. “I don’t have a car there,” he said. “Parking is fine, and we have a nice office as well. A big office.” Seven Days Goes Green — “In a move to reduce its ecological impact, and respond to increasing online demand from readers and advertisers,” Seven Days “is discontinuing its weekly print edition and focusing its efforts on Internet delivery of news and information. “After lengthy discussions with staff, advertisers, investors and readers, we have concluded that it makes good business, and environmental, sense to move away from printing a newspaper. In fact, some advertisers and readers wondered what took us so long,” said the publisher/editor. Yeah, right! And Channel 3 News is going to stop broadcasting from the top of Mt. Mansfield and offer Internet-only newscasts. If Seven Days publisher/editors Paula Routly and Pamela Polston ever put something like that in print, they’d be laughed out of town. No one would believe them. But that’s exactly — word-for-word — what Vermont Guardian publisher/editor Shay Totten recently published. (Incidentally, the names of the financial backers of the Guardian have been a very wellkept secret.) Totten is a former Burlington Free Press towns reporter and a Bennington College graduate. He has tried to position the Guardian in the niche of Vermont’s leading leftist rag, one with a vibrant Burlington-toBrattleboro axis. The Guardian reportedly published 10,000 papers in its weekly edition, but we often had trouble finding them. However, the online edition of the Vermont Guardian was the hot spot, this being the Internet Age and all. And now it hangs on as the only spot. Certainly it’s in our bookmarks list. But, frankly, it always bugged this reader that Totten would claim “Web Exclusive” in big, bold headlines for mundane news stories that were anything but exclusives. Rather, it was stuff we all had, coming out of press conferences and releases. The tactic did, however, appear to get the Guardian’s website good play on web search engines. Smart move, eh? At the moment, the paperless Vermont weekly continues to seek paying readers by offering “exclusive” content to subscribers. No harm in trying. But the content ought to be worth the price, and it sure as hell ought to be exclusive.

CHITTENDEN COUNTY — The Internet-driven makeover of the American media landscape has begun to ripple through Chittenden County. And while the outlines of the new order have not yet come into focus, it’s already clear that the changes could prove profound — even fatal — to some long-established local newspapers. Early this year, The Burlington Free Press quietly began publishing free weeklies in four suburban communities: Colchester, Essex, South Burlington and Williston. The 12-page broadsheets, each accompanied by a 10-page insert of display and classified ads, are mailed on Friday to every local household that doesn’t already subscribe to the daily Freeps. The move was prompted by a drop in circulation for the daily paper resulting from readers’ free access via the Internet to thou-
size. “Readers in every market in the country say that what they want most is local news,” notes Free Press Executive Editor Mike Townsend. “They can get national and international news from any number of sources.” Up-to-date local content can’t be found so easily on the Internet. But almost all the stories appearing in the Freeps’ four suburban weeklies have already been published in the daily paper — in both its print and online incarnations. The Williston Free Press carries “really stale news — sometimes up to a month old,” says Marianne Apfelbaum, who copublishes a community weekly, the Observer, in the same town. She describes the Freeps’ local editions as “just a wrap for the [advertising] flyers.” Townsend acknowledges that much of the editorial content in his paper’s free weeklies qualifies

sands of news sources. The Free Press itself, which is owned by the Virginia-based Gannett Co., can be read online without charge. Gannett, a global media conglomerate, is taking the same localized approach in many of its 98 other daily-circulation areas in the United States, notes Traci Griffith, a journalism professor at St. Michael’s College. “It’s part of an attempt by traditional papers to gather readership when they’re seeing their readers going off in all different directions,” she says. The Freeps’ locally focused weeklies, each of which blares the name of its respective town at the top of its front page, are intended to rope in new advertisers more than new readers, Griffith adds. Dailies are hoping to offset their declining subscription revenues by increasing their income from ads. “The aim is to get a lock on local advertising,” Griffith says. By reaching non-subscribers in each of the targeted towns, the Free Press “can now tell advertisers they’ve got 100 percent penetration.” Tailoring editorial product to specific communities may also be essential to the survival of oldmedia outlets, regardless of their
as “re-purposed news.” But the local editions do include some photos and police-log entries the daily doesn’t carry, he says. Freeps editors haven’t decided whether to produce more original material for the suburban editions, Townsend adds. He notes, however, that recipients of the mailed weeklies are responding to front-page requests for information about local happenings, “so we’ll have to see where that takes us.” Besides, Townsend continues, everything appearing in one of the paper’s weeklies probably comes as news to its audience. “By definition, they don’t read the daily,” he points out. Looked at from another perspective, however, the give-away strategy makes little sense. The Free Press is sending localized versions of itself to residents who have shown no interest in buying the daily paper. How many copies of the new weeklies will go straight into recycling bins? But even if the new offspring won’t win any Pulitzers for reporting, the Free Press’ growing emphasis on delivering downhome news does pose a threat to local weeklies that have been catering to their towns for many years. For example, could The
Williston Free Press put The Williston Observer out of business? That’s not going to happen, vows Apfelbaum, who co-publishes the Observer with her husband Paul. Competitive pressure from Gannett, with $7.4 billion in annual revenues, “has really only solidified our position in this community,” Apfelbaum says. “Callers are telling us that they don’t like it that the Gannett Goliath is trying to squash local papers. If anything, it’s led to a boom in advertising for our paper.” The Observer, which the Apfelbaums purchased in 1994, is mailed to all 7000 homes and businesses in Williston each week. The couple also owns The Charlotte Citizen, a free weekly that doesn’t have to compete on its own turf with Gannett — yet. Vermonters, Apfelbaum notes, “are very mindful of buying local.” The Observer’s readers and advertisers know and resent that the Freeps is owned by a huge out-ofstate chain, she says. “Some of the big advertisers who feel they’ve got to buy space in the Free Press view it as a necessary evil.” St. Michael’s prof Griffith isn’t so sure that most Chittenden County residents are aware that Gannett owns the area’s only daily. She also expresses doubt that the Free Press is widely disdained as a corporate concubine. “I’d like to think that advertisers will stay true to the vehicles they’ve been using all along,” Griffith says. “But I don’t know if that’s going to hold up.” George Chamberland, publisher of South Burlington’s 30-yearold Other Paper, declined to discuss the advent of The South Burlington Free Press. Susan Reid, editor of both The Colchester Sun and Essex Reporter, referred questions to her weekly papers’ owners, Angelo and Emerson Lynn. Neither of the brothers, who also publish the daily St. Albans Messenger and the twice-weekly Addison Independent, responded to requests for comment. For his part, Townsend rejected suggestions that the Free Press is angling to kill off community weeklies. “They’ve been competing with us for a long time by publishing free papers,” he says of the existing locals. “If they think they can live in a world without competition, that’s just not serious.” Moreover, some of the weeklies have banded into “a consortium of their own,” Townsend adds. He’s referring to the Burlington Area Newspaper Group, through which six local papers, including The Williston Observer and The Other Paper, offer package deals to advertisers. “BANG has been a huge boon for us,” Apfelbaum affirms. Her own paper has the capacity to fend off challenges from the Free Press, she insists. It may prove a protracted struggle, however. The Freeps’ local editions probably won’t disappear anytime soon, Apfelbaum concedes, noting, “Gannett certainly has the money to keep them going as long as it wants.” �

SECESSIONISTS
Funeral for the Second Vermont Republic? BY CATHY RESMER
BURLINGTON — Vermont became the 14th state on March 4, 1791 — a date that will live in infamy, according to the secessionist think tank Second Vermont Republic. Two years ago, SVR commemorated the occasion by staging a mock funeral for Vermont’s independence at the Langdon Street Café in Montpelier. More than two dozen “mourners” and a pack of reporters gathered there. After a few speeches, performers from Bread and Puppet led them in a merry march to the Statehouse, to the tune of “When the Saints Come Marching In.” The mood was more somber last Sunday, when seven SVR supporters — including founder Thomas Naylor, his son, and Jim Hogue, dressed in period garb as Ethan Allen — huddled in the snow around Allen’s gravesite in Burlington for a second mock funeral. Naylor opened the short ceremony by playing a recording of Chopin’s death march. Turns out the deceased may as well have been SVR itself. The drop in attendance and change in tone is the result of a recent controversy; as reported here last week, in early February, Vermont bloggers began questioning SVR’s ties to white supremacist groups such as the League of the South. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies LOS as a hate group. An anonymous scribe blogging as former Green Mountain Boy “Thomas Rowley” criticized SVR for its connection to LOS at Vermont Secession — vermont secession.blogspot.com. Liberal blogger John Odum, founder of Green Mountain Daily — www.greenmountaindaily.com — repeated and amplified Rowley’s
charges. “Some very ugly tendrils have infiltrated themselves into the progressive community right under our noses,” Odum wrote on February 9, “and Rowley should be given a medal for bringing it out into the sunlight before it spreads any further.” In a February 26 press release responding to their allegations, Naylor defended SVR’s connection
Naylor says he was told the col40 church street, burlington • 862-5051 • mon-thurs 10-7, fri-sat 10-8, sun 11-5 lective that runs the Montpelier café was “skittish” about hosting his event, so he decided to relo2x4-sweet030707.indd 1 3/2/07 6:45:45 PM cate rather than feel unwelcome. Langdon Street collective member Wes Hamilton offers a slightly different spin — “My interpretation was that they didn’t feel comfortable with possibly being confronted,” he says.
My interpretation was that they didn’t feel comfortable with possibly being confronted. WES HAMILTON, LANGDON STREET CAFE
to other secessionists, and claimed to be the victim of a “technofacist cyber-smear campaign,” orchestrated by Rowley and Odum. Naylor branded the SPLC a “McCarthy-like group of mercenaries.” He also implied that Odum’s employer, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, was behind the allegations, though Odum denies that VNRC has ever had any connection to his blog. Odum has since quit writing for GMD, citing the personal nature of Naylor’s attack, and implying that he was forced to choose between his job and his blog. VNRC executive director Elizabeth Courtney did not return a phone call for this story. Odum’s departure has prompted more posts unfavorable to SVR on several Vermont blogs. Naylor characterizes the brouhaha as “fundamentally much ado about nothing,” but it’s clearly having a negative affect on SVR. This year’s funeral was supposed to take place at Langdon Street Café, but Naylor switched the location to the Burlington cemetery a few days before the event.
Hamilton confirms that people who frequent the café, many of them supporters of secession, have been “scratching their heads” over the allegations and SVR’s response. “There’s a pretty broad consensus among the people that I talk to that they handled this situation really poorly,” he says. One of SVR’s leaders has also just announced he’s leaving. On Monday, March 5, a statement appeared on the SVR website saying that co-chair Rob Williams has stepped down from his post to concentrate on editing Vermont Commons, a quarterly promoting Vermont independence. (The newspaper has had a distribution arrangement with Seven Days.) According to the website, Williams resigned in a private letter to Naylor on February 24. Williams has declined to comment further on his reasons for leaving SVR. Naylor, at least, seems unfazed by the turmoil. “Secession is a tough sell,” he admits. “Whoever said trying to organize a secession movement in Vermont would be easy?” �

VERMONT — Al Gore is coming to a town near you — at least indirectly. In conjunction with a series of upcoming community events, Vermonters will re-present slides from the former vice president’s Oscar-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, to audiences across the state. The presentations are part of a national campaign sponsored by the Nashville, Tennessee-based organization the Climate Project. An Inconvenient Truth captures Gore’s lecture tour on the topic of global warming. In early January, the Climate Project invited 1000 aspiring presenters from across the country to Nashville, where they were trained in Gore’s technique. One of them was 23-year-old Thomas Hand, who came away impressed by the diversity of the turnout. In Nashville, it was obvious that Gore and the Climate Project “had made a concerted effort to get a broad cross-section of America represented,” he says. “It was a real slice of life — very few treehuggers.”
For many people, the question is, “What comes next? What do I do besides change my light bulbs?” JON ISHAM, MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
Hand, a 2006 graduate of Middlebury College, is the program manager at Native Energy, a Charlottebased company that arranges renewable energy credit purchases. He gave a Gore-inspired presentation in February at the Killington Mountain School. On March 28, he’ll present at an assisted-living facility in Manchester, his hometown. “If someone from within your community gives the presentation, it’s a lot more powerful,” Hand notes. He and others modify Gore’s slide show depending on where the presentation is taking place. “The most challenging part of this process is bringing the slide show down to a time limit that people can handle,” Nashville-attendee Liz Soper writes in an email. Soper is the field education manager at the National Wildlife Federation headquarters in Montpelier. In addition to giving two presentations — in Fairlee on March 17 and Burlington on March 31 — she’s working to promote climate-change-aware-
ness education for high school students, hunters and anglers. Joseph Hartman considers Gore’s presentation a useful template for promoting the “solution side” of the climate-change debate. Hartman is the executive director of the Plainfield-based nonprofit ClearVision, which champions socially conscious television projects. He says Gore has inspired him to make global warming his organization’s “lead issue.” He adds, “At this point, after a recent shift in public opinion, people want more concrete solutions.” Hartman seems to fit into a larger trend of climate activists in the area. “In Vermont, you already have a lot of people who are savvy about climate change and/or who’ve already seen An Inconvenient Truth,” notes Jon Isham, an economics professor at Middlebury College who also went to Nashville. “For many people, the question is, ‘What comes next? What do I do besides change my light bulbs?’” As editor of the forthcoming Ignition: What You Can Do to Fight Global Warming and Spark a Movement (Island Press), Isham has a few answers. Having collected essays by the likes of National Resources Defense Council co-founder Gus Speth and Ripton author-scholar Bill McKibben, he hopes to provide 2x5-HG030707.indd readers with inspiration for further action. Isham suggests Vermont occupies a unique position nationally. “The question facing Vermonters is, “Do we want to be at the forefront of the clean energy economy?” he suggests. Isham cites state energy utility Efficiency Vermont, citizen coalition Addison County Relocalization Network and student environmental groups at the University of Vermont and Middlebury, Green Mountain and Sterling colleges as encouraging models of global-warming activism. Katey Gordon of Burlington says the climate project training has inspired her to build informal connections between existing grassroots networks. “Now, we’re magnifying the efforts that were already underway well before the climate project,” she notes. On March 17, Gordon will present her version of the Gore slide show at the “Fueling Our Community: Building Local, Sustainable Energy Solutions” conference in Bristol. She will cover the potential effects of global warming on New England. Gordon is also the head organizer of a “Step It Up” rally — part of Bill McKibben’s national campaign for climate-friendly legislation — in Burlington on April 14. Gordon, an adjunct professor at Burlington College and a self-employed environmental educator and consultant, believes the climate project and its local spin-offs reflect a growing shift in public consciousness. “A sense of mutual responsibility is more accepted, more widely recognized, than before,” she says. “We’re starting to understand what it means to be a member of a global community.” Visit www.theclimateproject.org for more info on upcoming presentations. �

S. Burlington Opts for Aesthetics BY PAMELA POLSTON
Is the proposed City Center for South Burlington going to be an art park? Maybe not quite. But planners for the massive new, 45acre downtown district — bordered by Dorset Street and Hinesburg Road, Williston Road and Kennedy Drive — do envision a significant artist-made “gateway” area. This will surround the new version of Healthy Living Market, which is moving into, and
JZA Associates will help formulate a public art plan that will “create and maintain a distinct sense of place for the district.” extensively renovating, the former quarters of the Buick/GMC dealership on Dorset. Healthy Living will be an anchor store for this massive urban-planning project, which will include not only commercial and municipal facilities but also residential, recreational and cultural — which is where the art comes in. Last year the city hired South Burlington design and communications firm JZA Associates to help

formulate a public art plan that will “create and maintain a distinct sense of place for the district,” according to a press release. Creative Director John Zwick elaborates: “We’re working toward a percent for art — 1 percent up to 3 percent, which would be phenomenal,” he says. For the highly visible gateway project, “It’s important to set the tone early and be able to replicate it in the future.”
Zwick isn’t wasting any time getting the project rolling. He just issued an RFP to artists, with a deadline of March 21 for initial proposals, and another month for further refinements. “The art selection panel will recommend one [design] to the city council and hopefully be under contract by the end of May,” Zwick says. Talk about fast track. “Well, we have been talking about this for three years,” he notes. “This
opportunity came up with Katy [Lesser, owner of Healthy Living] in January, and we said, ‘Go for it.’” The health-food market is expected to break ground on its new quarters in April. Zwick is already anticipating proposals from more than half a dozen Vermont artists, including Burlington sculptor Kate Pond. This first, arguably most critical public-art project is open only to Vermonters, Zwick notes. The artist or team chosen “must be able to conceptualize and identify artwork appropriate for the proposed project in partnership with a jury comprised of South Burlington residents, business owners, local officials and working artists,” the RFP reads. Design by committee? Sort of — but that’s the reality of public art. And for a city that’s never even had a downtown before, the stakes, and emotions, may be especially high. Design specifications are detailed in the RFP, which can be downloaded from the City’s website at www.sburl.com — scroll down to “Urban Art and Design Competition.” �

Where themes range from procreation to exploitation to recreation? If you’re up for a drive, the answer is Brattleboro’s 17-year-old Women’s Film Festival.

Positive Profiles in Courage is a 45minute documentary about five Vermont women living with AIDS or HIV. Produced by the nonprofit
Twin States Network, it will screen on March 10. Local filmmakers Lisa Merton and Alan Dater, of Marlboro Productions, will be on hand for a special preview of their documentary Roots of Change. It traces the life of Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan woman who founded the Green Belt movement. She won the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize for her 30-year work organizing women to plant trees, a project that helped promote democracy in Kenya. The festival is dominated by documentaries, many with sober, topical themes. Fiction films are less common here. But they range from the ascetic — Gypo, “the UK’s first certified Dogme 95 film” — to irreverent fare such as Jennie Livingston’s Who’s the Top, billed as “a fantastical lesbian S&M musical-comedy(!).” In short, fans of indie, offbeat and politically engaged film will find plenty here to tide them over until Montpelier’s Green Mountain Film Festival, coming up on March 16 (www.green mountainfilmfestival.org).

DANCE/MUSIC
UVM Gives Dance Its Due BY PAMELA POLSTON
The University of Vermont’s music department took a big step last fall — a dance step. That is, it finally added an academic dance program to its curriculum. Previously, wannabe movers and shakers had to groove their thang in P.E. “We’re developing courses for dance to be a minor, and maybe a major down the road,” says premier dance faculty member Paul Besaw. “That’s new to the College of Arts & Sciences.” It also portends more public performances for Burlington dance fans. The assistant prof, a New Hampshire native who left California State at Sacramento for UVM, has wasted no time choreographing a creative collaboration. Besaw and associate music professor/composer Michael Hopkins have been developing a dancetheater work entitled “Three Wonderers Down Yonder.” The 35minute piece showcases this Thursday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the UVM Recital Hall in a program called “Composers & Choreographers: An Evening of Original Music & Dance.” Few of the performers are students, however. On the contrary, “I wanted to work with area dancers with more experience,” says Besaw, 40. “I found Sarah McMahon, Tiffany Rhynard, a Middlebury resident in dance — I knew her through graduate school — and she introduced me to Kara Golux.” Also on the program are a solo, “Green Piece,” by Rhynard, with
live original music by pianist and Midd guest faculty Lei Liang; a Golux solo, “Waving Good-bye,” with music by Norwegian composer Helge Lien; and a new duet by Besaw entitled “through,” which is performed by UVM dance students. It’s not easy to explain the meaning of a dance, and “Three Wonderers” seems particularly abstract. “I was exploring the idea of three figures who sort of fall into this space accidentally and discover a fantastic realm,” Besaw says. “It’s largely three solos, and then they come together. From the concept to the way I work in my process, [that’s] why I wanted more experienced dancers — it’s such a joy.” Each woman discovers different things in this imagined “world,” but it’s pretty subtle, Besaw notes. That’s where the music comes in. Hidden under area rugs on the stage are “tap tiles,” which produce sound when stepped on. “The sounds have been preprogrammed, but when the dancers make the sounds is partially open,” Besaw explains. “Nothing is totally open or absolutely predetermined.” Sound like an artier version of Dance Dance Revolution? Not quite. Those preprogrammed sounds were initially individual ostinato patterns which were played by Hopkins on a double bass, and then loaded into a computer and looped repeatedly to
create multiple overlapping sounds. “I can layer up to nine different double bass patterns on top of one another,” he says. “Then John can process them using any number of effects.” That’s UVM music prof John Mantegna, the electronics engineer for both composing and performance. As for the double bass, Hopkins acknowledges it usually has an accompaniment role, but here it stands alone. “I think people are going to be surprised by all the things the instrument is capable of,” he suggests. But “I can’t say enough about the interaction of live electronics,” Hopkins adds. When a dancer steps on a tap tile, “it randomly selects one of the ostinato patterns — you get this foreshadowing of something I haven’t played yet, or something that repeats what I’ve played.” Despite the random element, there is an arc to the music over the seven sections of the dance: It starts out simply, increases in layered complexity, then tapers off again. At its peak is a “kind of nuts, crazy-sounding” episode called the “Lobster Quadrille,” Hopkins reveals. Intrigued yet? While there are “planned relationships between the music and the dance,” says Besaw, suffice it to say that “Three Wonderers” ain’t Broadway. Check out the adventurous debut of UVM dance this Thursday. Bonus: It’s free. �

Curses, Foiled Again Thieves who took $2.5 million in art, antiques and rugs from a San Francisco mansion apparently spent months planning the heist, according to police investigators. Posing as a moving crew, the gang pulled up in a U-Haul truck and spent two days cleaning out the house while homeowner Robert Kendrick was out of town. Two days later, police said, a member of the gang went to the home and tried to sell Kendrick some of the stolen property, claiming he spotted it at a flea market. A second man accompanied him, who Kendrick said lectured him on his poor home security. (Kendrick is the grandson of the co-founder of Schlage lock and

Perchance to Dream France’s health minister is considering whether workers should be allowed to sleep on the job. Xavier Bertrand hinted at the possibility of paid siestas at a news conference announcing plans to spend $9 million to educate the public about sleeping problems. He pointed out that 56 percent of French workers complain a poor night’s sleep has affected their job performance. “Why not a nap at work?” Bertrand said, calling for further studies. “It can’t be a taboo subject.” • Two weeks later, researchers reported that their six-year study of 23,681 Greek adults found those who regularly took midday naps lowered their risk of dying from heart disease by more than a third. Researchers at the University of Athens medical school concluded naps relieve some stress that affects the heart. “If you can take a midday nap,” the study’s author, Dimitrios Trichopoulos, said, “do so.” • A week after that, the Associated Press reported that students at Indiana University South Bend had started a nap club.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO REFINANCE? Many borrowers wonder, “when is the right time to refinance”? A simple answer to this question is to take the total cost of the refinance and divide it by the monthly savings. For example if the total cost to refinance is $2000 and the monthly savings is $100 the break even is 20 months or nearly two years. In this case, if you are planning on staying in the property (or the loan) for more than two years you should refinance. But what if rates drop within that two-year break-even period? In many cases it is beneficial to look at a relative newcomer to the refinance arena - the no cost refinance. If the cost to refinance is zero, as it is with a true no cost refinance program, than go ahead and refinance no matter how long you plan to stay in the property. Furthermore, if rates drop after you close, you can simply refinance again with no closing costs. The only downside of the no cost refinance is that you will pay a slightly higher rate than if you pay closing costs to refinance.

Scam-a-Rama Federal authorities in Tacoma, Wash., accused Rosie Marie Costello, 46, of fraudulently collecting disability benefits totaling $110,000 on behalf of her son for nearly 20 years by claiming Pete Costello, 28, is mentally retarded and unable to read, write, shower, care for himself or drive a car. Assistant U.S. Attorney Norman Barbosa said evidence to the contrary, resulting in fraud and conspiracy charges against the mother and son, is a videotape of Pete Costello contesting a traffic ticket in a courtroom. “He’s like any other person trying to get out of a traffic ticket,” Barbosa said, explaining that the son faked or at least exaggerated his retardation. “Obviously his mother did get him involved in this,” Barbosa said, “but he’s been an adult for many years.” Prosecutors believe the mother collected another $110,000 by falsely claiming disability for a daughter, whom officials have been unable to locate. • Paul Appleby, 47, received 10 months in prison for fraudulently claiming disability benefits. He declared that he needed a wheelchair or walker after a back accident forced him to retire, but prosecutors in Nottinghamshire, England, told the court that Appleby subsequently ran several road races and marathons while receiving disability payments totaling $43,800. Appleby explained that he started running to lose weight after his retirement and it “caused a massive change in his circumstances,” which he admitted failing to report.

“CBGB in New York, is one of those well worn music clubs where punk rock, rockabilly, and college radio bands find their audience. So what is cello virtuoso Matt Haimovitz doing there, playing Bach?” (WBUR-FM)
If I may speak on behalf of the nation’s media, while we certainly deserve some of the blame for making the postal service sound like a psycho hothouse, you ain’t sticking us with all of it. True, “going postal” is first known to have appeared in print in the of December 17, 1993. However, the newspaper was reporting on a symposium on workplace violence organized by . . . well, read for yourself: “The symposium was sponsored by the U.S. Postal Service, which has seen so many outbursts that in some circles excessive stress is known as ‘going postal.’ Thirty-five people have been killed in 11 post office shootings since 1983.” In other words, while the USPS didn’t coin “going postal,” it provided the platform, not to mention the data set, for the term’s national media launch. In fairness, you can’t fault the postal service for wanting to get out front on this grim phenomenon. A few incidents as of ’93: • In 1986 letter carrier Patrick Sherrill killed 14 of his coworkers at the post office in Edmond, Oklahoma, then himself, in the worst mail-related mass murder in the United States. • In October 1991 in Ridgewood, New Jersey, former postal clerk Joseph Harris shot and killed his old boss, two other USPS employees, and a fourth person more than a year after being fired. • A month later in Royal Oak, Michigan, Thomas McIlvane killed four postal employees and himself after the USPS fired him. Some more recent cases: • In 1995, former postal worker Christopher Green killed two postal employees and two customers while robbing a post office in Montclair, New Jersey. • In 2006, Jennifer San Marco entered the mailsorting facility in Goleta, California, where she’d once worked and killed six employees and herself. These incidents were widely covered in the media, the Sherrill case in particular, for the obvious reason that they were shocking crimes. However, even a casual reading of the facts would tell you the problem was exaggerated, and some news outlets said as much from the start: In the same 1993 symposium story that brought “going postal” into print, St. Pete Times reporter Karl Vick wrote, “Rampages in the workplace . . . remain a relative rarity.” There had been about 1000 workplace homicides in 1992, but most involved ordinary crimes such as convenience-store stickups. The FBI estimated roughly 24 worker/boss killings a year; judging from the reported numbers, the USPS workplace murder rate was about three or four per year — admittedly a sizable fraction of the 24, but still a minuscule percentage of workplace slayings overall. It was the era of downsizing, though, which presumably led to a “toxic work

environment,” as one consultant put it, and the experts didn’t want to talk about armed robbery, they wanted to talk about stopping the rage. Probably the most conclusive study on U.S. postal homicides is the 2000 “Report of the United States Postal Service Commission on a Safe and Secure Workplace,” which gives detailed statistics on the risks of working at the post office compared to other jobs. The study found that from 1992 to 1998, postal workers were only a third as likely to be murdered at work as the average worker. (That may be optimistic; a study by the Centers for Disease Control for 1980-’89 says the rates were about equal.) Most likely to be slain on the job? Taxi drivers and chauffeurs, with a homicide rate more than 121 times that of postal workers, and, for that matter, five times that of cops. Of the 15 instances of post office homicide between 1986 and 1989, only four were judged to be purely work-related. Fourteen of the killers had problems such as substance abuse, mental illness, a violent past or a criminal record, which suggests the USPS could have screened potential employees better. However, given that the agency employs more than 750,000 people and hires 40,000 workers a year, it’s tough making a case that things are out of control. Still, the USPS report suggests that working conditions at the PO are, to say the least, a little tense. Compared to average U.S. workers, the report found postal workers were more likely to be verbally abused by coworkers, much more likely to believe their coworkers held grudges against them, almost twice as likely to say their coworkers had serious mental problems, and four times more likely to agree that “the use of threats or violence is an effective way to get things done in the workplace” and that “many managers and supervisors try to provoke employees to violence.” So if “going postal” is a myth, maybe we’d better add “so far.”

At only 25, Jonathan Biss has already proven himself to be one of the most accomplished performers of his generation. Originally scheduled to perform on the Lane Series several seasons ago, we released him from his obligation when he was offered a performance with the Chicago Symphony. We are delighted that he has made room in his busy schedule for a recital which includes Beethoven’s Pathetique, Mozart’s Sonata in F Major; and Schumann’s Kreisleriana.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB
Snow Business
I NAME JOB LOCATION
IMAGE Jordan Silverman
f you’ve ever cringed as you squeeze your car through a narrow street, try doing it 80 hours a week. “Sometimes the job gets a little nerve-racking,” admits Burlington snowplow operator Lorand Codrean. “Like anything, though, you get used to it. It’s a chance to see people, smell fresh air — that’s why I like what I do.” Lorand Codrean Codrean, 42, is letting me ride along as he clears Snowplow operator streets from Schmanska Park to the waterfront during Burlington a whiteout on a recent weekday morning. For all his quick, attentive demeanor, he seems serene amid the chaos. Inside, the truck’s cockpit resembles an airplane’s. As Codrean shifts gears, he adjusts his plow “wing” to avoid smashing into a Volvo. We return the wave of a woman shoveling her driveway on Bilodeau Court. “See how nice people are?” Codrean asks. Leaning his head out the window, he calls to her, “We’ll make it better tonight — for now, we’re just patting down.” Plowing is not all this city maintenance worker does. Like the other 15 fulltime employees of the street department — a division of the Department of Public Works — Codrean wears multiple municipal hats. Earlier this morning, he had to stop his truck to repair a broken grate on a catch basin. And if a sewer pipe should clog this afternoon, he’ll have to operate the “Vactor” — a truck retrofitted with an enormous suction drill. Sometimes he even helps free snow-bound fire trucks and ambulances. “Uh-oh,” Codrean says when we reach the corner of South Winooski Avenue and King Street. “Someone knocked a stop sign down — and it wasn’t us! I’ll pick it up later.” For three hours, Codrean fills me in on his work over the roar of his plow. By noon, it’s time for gyros at the Pine Street Deli. SEVEN DAYS: How long have you been driving the snowplow truck? LORAND CODREAN: For six years. I’ve been in Vermont for 17 years. Before this, I worked as a mechanic for Vermont Transit. SD: Where did you live before that? LC: I was born in Romania into a Hungarian family. My wife and I came to Vermont in May of 1991. I came to Burlington — and that’s it. I’m here since! I do a lot of fishing, hunting, boating. SD: Do you ever wake up in the morning and think, “Damn! Snowing again!”?
LC: Never. I love it — you wait the whole summer for the opportunity. I love plowing; it’s fun. With so many people going by, it’s almost like watching TV. With plowing, there are different thrills throughout the day: rush hour, then the “push-back” of the snow, which is the final cleanup before the end of a storm. Of course, it’s a little tense — but in the same way that skiing, or other adventure sports, can be tense. SD: Do you listen to music on the job, or drink coffee to stay awake for those 12-hour shifts? LC: I stopped drinking coffee when I was 25. I have a lot of energy, and coffee would really aggravate every-
thing. I’m naturally adrenaline charged! Sometimes noise can be distracting. Some of the guys listen to music, and I do too, occasionally. But I prefer to listen to what’s going on around me. If the sound of the plow scraping the ground changes in the slightest way, you know something’s wrong. Loose bolt, hydraulic pump . . . SD: Is this a dangerous job, then? LC: It can be. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell where the curb is — so if I hit it, the truck will bounce two feet in the other direction. That’s what some daredevils don’t understand. But everybody wants to get somewhere. SD: So you’re saying that people sometimes get angry at you without just cause? LC: A lot of people get annoyed when we block their driveways. Some wave angrily or say insulting things. They don’t understand that when I pull into my driveway in South Burlington after a storm, I have to face the same reality. But you get used to it, since our work keeps the city functioning. I’d say 99 percent of people are nice — only 1 percent will “play chicken” with the truck. I definitely don’t play chicken — that’s not my idea of adventure. SD: What about all the salt that’s used on the roads? LC: The less snow you have on the road, the less salt you need to use — that’s why we scrape so much. It’s also one of the reasons we look like a nuisance, going around and around all the time. The whole plowing process is actually very ecologically friendly. I’m an environmentalist, too, and I’m at peace with our system. Our green salt, for instance, is
more environmentally friendly than the white kind, but we use it sparingly because of its price. There’s nothing 100 percent — but the city of Burlington does a nice job. SD: What do you do in the summer? LC: I fix manholes, repair catch basins, do general maintenance work, help clear sewer plugs . . . SD: So your snowplow work is actually part of a larger process? LC: Yes. In the summer, we fix the “scars of winter.” At this job, you see how the city works. Basically, all the snowplowing, the clearing, the hassle is so that people can get to their jobs. It’s not that we try to annoy people. I think of it all as a circle of responsibilities: If we don’t plow, the buses can’t take people to work — just like water in nature. There’s a moral aspect to all this. SD: Has anyone in particular inspired your work? LC: When I first came here, the guy that trained me in the ins and outs of winter operation was Bernie Baker. He shared a lot of patience and wisdom with me — and I couldn’t think of a better guy than him to learn from. I have a lot of regard for him. When he retires, I’ll feel very sad. SD: And your wife? LC: She’s very understanding. She has infinite patience, has endured a lot of things for me. She’s been a great person in my life. On sunny days, we love spending time together. SD: But when it snows? LC: But when it snows . . . Well, that’s my time. I’ve got to be there. m

hey told me my wife’s looking better today,” said the aged man sitting next to me. His deep voice carried just the barest glint of hope. “Yesterday she slept through my whole visit.” “That’s good news,” I replied. “Maybe today you can show her those pictures of your newest great-grandchild.” I knew my customer was quite old but was floored when he told me earlier in the week he’d just turned 96. “Good stock” is as good a phrase as any to describe these stouthearted elderly Vermonters. Cedric’s wavy white hair was still thick, and he stood tall, stooping only slightly as he walked to and from my cab. When I came around to help him in and out of the vehicle he always insisted, “Nope, I’m good,” but I told him to humor me, and helped anyway. Cedric and his wife have been married for 71 years. In all that time he never slept apart from her for more than a couple weeks. But a few months ago she suddenly became disoriented and unsteady on her feet, and had to be transferred from their senior living apartment in Shelburne to the Starr Farm Nursing Home. Cedric visits daily, though at this point he often finds her asleep or in some drifting state of consciousness. My sense is, she’s not long for this world, and I think he knows it.
Everything about Cedric’s stories intrigued me. “Cedric, what kind of work did you do when you lived in Barre?” I asked as we tooled down Shelburne Road. “Your family was in the granite business, do I have that right?” “Yup, my dad and most of my uncles and cousins all cut and carved granite. My father came over at the turn of the century along with nearly half his village from outside of Naples. First they worked in Boston; then they moved to a quarry in southern New Hampshire. Finally, they all settled in Barre, where he got married and I was born.” I thought I was following this history, but needed some clarification. “Are you saying that the folks from this Italian village of their origin, they would stay together and move as a group from quarry to quarry when they came to America?” “Yup,” he said with a crinkly smile, “that’s the way it worked.” He then grew serious. “Of course, all of these men are now long gone. Very few made it past middle age. Back then, the granite dust

SEVEN DAYS | march 07-14, 2007 | feature 25A
» sevendaysvt.com
It was Super Bowl Sunday, 1987, and Wright was a 21-year-old Army M.P. with a week to go before his expected honorable discharge. In his first and only run-in with the law, Wright botched an attempted robbery of Curtis Smith, a cocaine dealer in Federal Way, Washington. The jury rejected Wright’s self-defense plea, and he was sentenced to 25 years, four months in prison. Thus began Wright’s longer, and much more successful, career as a journalist, editor and prisoners’ rights activist. The vocation has outlived not only his prison sentence but also numerous attempts by prison officials around the country to stifle Prison Legal News, his jailhouse publication. Since its inception in May 1990, PLN, as it’s commonly known, has published more than 200 issues, becoming the longest-running prison publication in U.S. history. It can now be found in virtually every prison in the United States. Over the years, PLN has broken dozens of stories whose legal and political reverberations were felt on both sides of the razor wire. In 1994, Wright uncovered the fact that Jack Metcalf, then a Republican congressman from Washington’s second district, was using prison labor to staff his get-out-the-vote telemarketing campaign. (The Seattle Times, which had endorsed Metcalf and his tough-on-crime platform, ignored the story until after the election; Metcalf was re-elected by 600 votes.) In 1996, Wright and PLN exposed how the Microsoft Corporation was using prison labor to package some of its software, including its heavily marketed Microsoft Office ’95. And in 2006, PLN revealed that six members of Fred Phelps’ family — founders of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, who routinely picket the funerals of U.S. soldiers and gay murder victims — were working as lawyers for the Kansas Department of Corrections. Wright, who moved to Vermont after his release in 2003, still muckrakes about the abysmal conditions in U.S. prisons, including the pervasiveness of abuse, medical neglect, prisoner-on-prisoner violence, guard brutality and retaliation. His 48-page monthly, which has a circulation of nearly 6000, has run articles by such authors as civil rights attorney William Kunstler, former Washington Post and Rolling Stone editor William Greider, and convicted murderer and activist Mumia Abu-Jamal.
does about prison, which is nothing,” he says. “Of course, I’d seen Clint Eastwood in Escape from Alcatraz, and that was about it.” Wright soon discovered that life behind bars was, as he puts it, “an alienating, brutal and dehumanizing environment. In that sense, it’s very similar to the military.” The incident that sparked Wright’s activism seems petty compared with the abuses PLN has unearthed over the years. Wright had been in prison less than a year when a guard searched his cell, emptied a box of Cap’n Crunch cereal on the floor and crushed it under his boots. The cereal cost $2, but Wright’s job in the prison kitchen only paid $50 a month. In a “what-the-fuck?” moment, he went to the prison law library to find out what could be done to right this grievous wrong — not much, he quickly discovered. Around this time, an older convict named Ed Gallea took Wright under his wing and explained that he’d better find himself a “hustle” on the inside if he wanted to survive and be financially self-sufficient. As Wright puts it, “My life might have taken a different turn if I’d had a knack for ceramics.” Since Wright’s brief stint as a criminal had been a disastrous failure, Gallea suggested he try the law instead. There’s always a market for jailhouse lawyers, Gallea told Wright, and the money wasn’t bad. Wright agreed and took a job working in the prison law library, fetching books for fellow inmates. Soon he was reading cases himself and subscribing to various prisoner-published newsletters, as well as to radical political rags such as Revolutionary Workers and Workers’ World. The state of Washington had a long history of independent, prisoner-produced magazines, dating back to the 1960s. Among them was The Abolitionist, published by Wright’s fellow inmate, Ed Mead. Mead and Wright, who both had Marxist leanings, saw the need for a
paign in which the inmates, as plaintiffs in the class action suit, voted overwhelmingly to single-cell the prison again. “That’s quite the anachronism now,” Wright explains. “These days, prisoners have no more say in their existence than Farmer Brown’s cows in the field have a say in theirs.” Within 24 hours, Wright found himself in segregation for, as he describes it, successfully winning enforcement of a federal court order. Prison officials saw it differently. They accused Wright of “trying to overthrow the U.S. government.” For the remainder of Wright’s prison sentence, he would be shuffled between Washington’s other prisons, including Walla Walla, McNeil Island and Clallam Bay. The first issue of Prisoners Legal News, as it was initially called, was published in May 1990 on a budget of $50, using little more than a couple of typewriters and the prison law library. Since he and Mead only had $300 between them, Wright expected PLN to last six months, at best. The two men, now housed in different prisons, wrote their stories separately and mailed them to a volunteer on the outside, who combined the pages, photocopied them and mailed them to subscribers. The first few issues were crude, hand-illustrated flyers just 10 pages long, with the production values of a church newsletter. Despite its amateurish look, the journal’s content was hard-hitting and immediately
system; the first 18 were barred from all Texas prisons. Once, Mead got “infracted” by prison officials for a copyright violation. Wright had his source materials confiscated during a cell search. On another occasion, their volunteer on the outside disagreed with the contents of a cover story and absconded with the $50 and the subscription list. It took six weeks to publish the next issue. This was the first of two embezzlements PLN would suffer in its history — both by people on the outside. In another issue, PLN wrote about the alleged beating of a black prisoner by white guards. Corrections officials tried to prevent the story’s publication by threatening Wright with 20 days in isolation. He ran the story anyway, and guards excised that article from every copy before it was delivered to prisoners. Surprisingly, Wright says that corrections officials rarely told him he couldn’t write about certain topics. More often, he says, they’d subject him to various forms of retaliation or intimidation, especially on discretionary decisions. For instance, at Walla Walla, he was suddenly told he couldn’t work in the prison law library anymore because he was “a security risk.” “The guy who stabbed a prisoner to death over a drug debt was working in the law library, and the guy who’s escaped four times was working there,” Wright recalls. “But I was the security risk.”
By 1996, Washington State was trying different tactics to keep PLN out of the prisons, with limited success. When Washington DOC prohibited inmates from receiving nonprofit mailings, PLN sued over that issue and won. Then the state issued a rule that inmates couldn’t receive publications paid for out of their trust accounts. PLN got that rule overturned, too. Next, the prisons adopted a policy of not delivering subscription-renewal notices. PLN took the issue to court and got the policy reversed. “We sued them repeatedly over the same stuff,” Wright recalls. “Right now, the prison systems of Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada operate under PLN injunctions, consent decrees, or both. And we’ve got binding settlements in Alabama, Michigan and Utah.” Since 1990, PLN has sparked more than 20 lawsuits over efforts to censor or ban prison publications. In fact, the day before Seven Days interviewed Wright, PLN filed suit against the Dallas County Jail for banning all newspapers, magazines and other publications. According to published news reports, Dallas County officials claim that prisoners don’t need access to printed materials as long as they can watch television. Wright seems optimistic about this case. His last suit of this kind, against Washington State DOC in August 2005, netted his organization $100,000. Interestingly, PLN doesn’t lack for revenue,
controversial. The first issue included stories about the suspected murder of an inmate by an Oregon correctional officer; Washington parole board abuses; a federal civil rights ruling on filthy cells; and a court ruling that awarded $241,000 in damages to three prisoners whom guards had handcuffed and beaten during a prison riot. The inaugural issue also outlined Wright and Mead’s long-term goals, which included fighting for felons’ voting rights, a cause PLN still pursues today. “While we have no ‘party line,’ this newsletter will tend to reflect our class orientation,” Mead wrote in 1990. “By working to extend democracy to prisoners, we can change from being mere criminals to the defenders of democracy. The first step is in overcoming our demoralization to the point where we can start communicating with each other around political issues. That search for answers is the start.” Attempts to censor PLN came swiftly and proved unrelenting. The first three issues were banned throughout the Washington prison
PLN obtained nonprofit status in 1992 in order to qualify for a lower mailing rate, and in 1993, the magazine jumped to 16 pages and offset printing. That same year, Mead was released from prison. However, the members of his parole board informed him they’d revoke his parole if he associated with convicted felons, including those at PLN. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Mead’s behalf but lost, and Mead and Wright had to part ways. Wright continued publication on his own. PLN never lacked for content. While some may wonder how a jailhouse journalist vets his sources’ credibility, Wright says his growing expertise in searching public records often turned up official documentation of the abuses and wrongdoings on which he was reporting. “As editors go, I’m pretty conservative,” Wright says. “In 200 issues, we’ve never had to retract a story.” Wright claims he never uses anonymous sources, except in cases where a story might compromise the safety of a source, such as articles about prison gang violence.
either. In addition to charging subscription fees — $18 per year for prisoners, $25 for others — the publication runs ads for books, pen pals, phone services and attorneys. Wright claims he even has to turn down some advertisers, usually paralegals whose credentials he can’t verify. Once he turned down an ad for a masturbation device for prisoners — not on moral grounds, Wright notes, but because he knew the ad would never make it past prison mailrooms. The sales rep was so appreciative, he sent PLN a $100 contribution anyway. PLN never set out to become a nationwide publication, Wright says. But by the late 1990s, he realized many of its subscribers were incarcerated in California, Texas and Florida. That out-of-state readership grew, in part because other prison publications had been censored. Still others had folded — in some cases, Wright admits, because of declining political activism among inmates themselves. When PLN started in 1990, Wright notes, there were six prisoner-published newsletters

PLN reaches well beyond the lonely lifers who are writing their own appeals. The publication can also be found in public libraries, Ivy League law schools, judges’ chambers, and even the offices of prison wardens and corrections officials, including some in Vermont. Its readers include Noam Chomsky and billionaire philanthropist George Soros, whose Open Society Institute gave PLN a $200,000 grant in 2005. “We’re a small publication, but we’ve always had an influence that’s pretty far out of proportion to our readership,” says Wright, 41. “We’ve never aimed at being a general-circulation publication. We’re targeting people who are doing something behind bars, and policymakers and opinion makers on the outside.” Those movers and shakers include some of Wall Street’s largest and most prestigious investment banking firms. Why do they get PLN? “Because they bankroll the private prison industry,” Wright says, with a smirk. “He’s done some really important First Amendment lawsuits around the country,” notes Dawn Seibert of the Vermont Defender General’s office. “There’s a lot of fear on the part of prison administrators about prisoners’ having information. But they’re entitled to have it.” Mike Cassidy, managing attorney at Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York in Plattsburgh, agrees. “I’ve always found PLN to be a really impressive publication. It’s a great resource for us,” Cassidy says. “It reports on cases, it educates prisoners about their rights, and at the same time, it’s also an example of prisoners’ rights to information and the press.” Seven Days caught up with Wright last week at his home and office in Brattleboro, where he publishes PLN with the help of two staffers. Wright relocated to Brattleboro to be close to his two sons, whom he sees several times each week. His nonprofit outfit also maintains a business office in Seattle, which, among other

things, screens the more than 1000 pieces of mail PLN receives each week. Wright is a tall and stocky, yet unimposing, man of about 6 feet 2 inches. His thinning black hair, rectangular glasses and gentle demeanor make him seem more like a computer geek than a convicted murderer and former prison rabble-rouser. The office above his garage is sparsely decorated, with a wood-burning stove in one corner, a few computers and bookshelves filled with back issues of PLN and books on correctional issues. They include The Celling of America and Prison Nation, collections to which Wright contributed as writer and co-editor. On a wall hangs a large red banner bearing the familiar visage of Che Guevara above the words “Hasta La Victoria Siempre.” Wright speaks tersely but matter-of-factly about the murder he committed 20 years ago. “Robbing drug dealers wasn’t a very original idea,” he admits. “But like Willie Sutton once said, ‘It’s where the money is.’” When he entered the Washington State Reformatory in 1987, Wright had no experience with journalism or law and even less with penal issues. “Until I went to prison, I probably knew about as much as the average person
publication that prisoners could rally around and use to stay abreast of legal issues in the Washington correctional system. The seeds of PLN were planted, but it would take a while for them to bear fruit. In the meantime, Wright was moved to another prison; he calls the transfer “retaliatory” for his rabble-rousing activities. A decade or so earlier, there’d been a major lawsuit over the wretched conditions at the Reformatory. The prison opened in 1910, and the state had been upgrading it, albeit slowly. “You’d flush the toilet and the next thing you know, you’ve got a 6-foot geyser of sewage in your cell,” Wright recalls. In an effort to fix the problem, the Washington State DOC shut half the prison and double-celled its inmates in the other half, creating serious health and safety problems. Simultaneously, the state rented out some of its prison beds to Colorado and the federal government, exacerbating the overcrowding. In response, Wright filed a federal classaction lawsuit. The decision, in Collins v. Thompson, required the DOC to single-cell the prison. Prison officials tried to ignore the ruling. But Wright mounted a successful cam-
in California alone. Today, there are none. “There are 2.3 million people locked up in this country,” Wright notes. “We’re the only publication that covers detention facilities. That’s a crying shame.” Brattleboro seems an unlikely base of operations. Vermont’s prison population is a fraction of those in New York, California, Texas, Florida or Washington, the states where most of PLN’s readers are housed. And Wright acknowledges that Vermont doesn’t experience the level of prisoner-on-prisoner violence or guard brutality that occurs in larger prisons elsewhere. That said, “In Vermont, the medical care and retaliation are as bad as everywhere else,” Wright claims. He points to last week’s death of Gary Ploof, a newly furloughed inmate at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility, as well as to several other high-profile deaths of inmates in recent years. To Wright, these incidents are symptomatic of underlying problems in the state’s prisons. Wright’s first introduction to Vermont came from a Florida inmate named James Quigley, one of PLN’s earliest contributors. Like Wright, Quigley was a convicted murderer turned jailhouse lawyer and prisoners’ rights advocate. In February 2001, Quigley was transferred from Florida to Vermont. Initially, he told Wright that Vermont’s prisons were great. Wright says, “I think his exact quote was ‘I almost feel like I’ve paroled.’” Then, in October 2003, Quigley hanged himself at the Northwest Correctional Facility in St. Albans. According to news reports published at the time, Quigley wasn’t believed to be suicidal. Nevertheless, he was the fifth Vermont prisoner to die that year, and the second to hang himself. Six deaths in an 18-month period, Wright says, is “almost unheard of,” even in large correctional systems with many times the prison population of Vermont’s. Wright makes no excuses for his own crime 20 years ago. “Things went poorly,” he says, “the understatement of the day.” He doesn’t believe that most prisoners are innocent. But Wright doesn’t advocate coddling criminals, either. “I don’t have a problem with any punishment, no matter how harsh, as long as it’s equally applied,” he says, “The problem is, it’s not.” The United States has a two-tiered system of justice, Wright argues, one for the wealthy and another for the poor. That explains why certain crimes, such as drug offenses, carry mandatory minimums — they disproportionately target the poor. Other offenses, such as drunk driving and child molestation, do not, because they cut across socioeconomic lines. It’s no accident that conditions in American prisons are miserable, Wright concludes. It’s a deliberate and conscious political decision that reflects the common perception of prisoners as an expendable population. “Nothing has happened at Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo that’s publicly known at this point that we do not report on a regular basis as happening all the time in American prisons,” Wright asserts. “We know that prisoners are being beaten to death on a regular basis in military prisons in Iraq and Guantanamo. That happens on a regular basis here in the United States. “We know prisoners have been sexually assaulted and humiliated by their staff, exposed to freezing temperatures, subjected to sensory deprivation, held in restraints and painful positions for long periods of time,” he continues. “All that happens in American prisons, too — and we’re the ones reporting on it.” m Got a comment on this story or an idea for another one?

Planning for a Post-Carbon World Book review: The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook by Greg Pahl
G STORY
MIKE IVES The CitizenPowered Energy Handbook: Community Solutions to a Global Crisis by Greg Pahl. Chelsea Green, 376 pages. $21.95. Catch Greg Pahl on the road: Thursday, March 8, at Northshire Books in Manchester; Tuesday, March 13, at Dartmouth Book Store in Hanover, N.H.; and Thursday, March 15, at Everyone’s Books in Brattleboro. All at 7 p.m.
reg Pahl’s new book, The CitizenPowered Energy Handbook, is a bit like James Howard Kunstler, celebrated doomsday environmentalist, meeting Tim Allen, fix-it guy from the longrunning television series “Home Improvement.” Pahl, who has lived in the Champlain Valley since the 1980s and is president of the 3-year-old Vermont Biofuels Association, has surveyed the early tremors of the impending peak-oil crisis. He understands that “the time for action is now.” In fact, he envisions this, his fifth book, as a “logical extension” of Kunstler’s best-selling The Long Emergency. At the outset of this non-technical layman’s guide, Pahl assesses America’s energy situation with plainspoken über-fatalism. “The [inevitable] crash of the U.S. economy could be spectacular — and terrifying,” he writes. “Most Americans simply won’t be able to believe that it is happening.” Europeans and Canadians do understand the scope of the problem, according to Pahl. They’ve been developing renewable technologies for decades, leaving America behind to wallow in its own acid rain. To jumpstart the reader’s imagination, Pahl highlights cooperative wind, hydro, solar and geothermal energy projects from around the world. “I have traveled extensively [around Germany], and can say from personal experience that wind farms there are simply amazing,” he claims with a hint of turbine-envy. Ever the energy connoisseur, Pahl recently took a page from the Europeans’ book: He has a Danish wood-pellet burner — sleek, lowmaintenance, clean-burning — in his basement. It’s one of only a handful this side of the Atlantic, he boasts during a recent visit to his home in Weybridge. If he likes what they’re doing in Denmark so much, why not just move there — buy a road bike and a Euro-rail pass, maybe a sunny flat in Copenhagen? “My going there isn’t going to help them any,” Pahl says. “We might as well stay here and get to work, as we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.” Pahl doesn’t mince words. In a tone that reflects an endearing, if occasionally manic, obsession with sustainable solutions (“My personal relationship with biomass heat — and cordwood — has been a long one”), the book explains all the basics of terms you’ve never heard of, let alone tried to pronounce. (Cellulosic ethanol and enzymatic hydrolysis sound like things to keep away from the kids.) If The Citizen-Powered Energy Handbook is a wistful ode to democratic socialism, it’s also a celebration of Vermont’s role as America’s renew-
able-energy pace setter. Every chapter of Pahl’s book brims with local success stories: The Winooski One Project, Burlington’s McNeil Generation Plant and NRG Systems in Hinesburg, among others, deserve praise for their commitment to green innovation, he insists. But kicking a global oil addiction isn’t so simple. “There are no perfect solutions, only imperfect solutions in an imperfect world,” Pahl writes. “In my view, the challenge we’re facing is so large that the response needs to be equally broad in scope.” This means communities themselves — local governments, energy utilities, citzens’ groups — should pull together on a municipal scale if they hope to sidestep the pitfalls of peak oil. Pahl calls his theory CSE, or Community-Supported Energy. This is similar to community-supported agriculture, except that “instead of investing in carrots, tomatoes or chicken, local residents invest in greater energy security and a cleaner environment,” he writes. Socially conscious citizens should embrace CSE cautiously, though, Pahl warns. Some community-based energy schemes “can simply end up sub-

stituting one form of corporate dominance for another.” On the other hand, a true CSE that’s locally owned and financed “keeps local energy dollars circulating.” In Weybridge, Pahl is doing his part to grow a healthy local economy in Addison County. Sure, he has his Danish wood burner in the basement, solar panels on the roof and a new Toyota Prius in the garage, but the principles of CSE demand that he cooperate with neighbors to develop a more comprehensive strategy for achieving energy independence. That explains why Pahl helped to found ACORN — the Addison County Relocalization Network. The Middlebury-based group, which styles itself as “a cooperative response to an energy-constrained future,” takes its lead from the Vancouver-based Post Carbon Institute, an international grassroots coalition of more than 100 similar initiatives. Last September, ACORN partnered with other organizations around Vermont to organize the “Localvore Challenge” — a grassroots
campaign to support locally oriented eating. And Pahl, who serves as the group’s vice president, will soon hear from the USDA about a $35,000 Rural Business Enterprise grant that would help finance an ACORNdirected renewable-energy feasibility study for Addison County. “My book and ACORN evolved together and informed each other,” he asserts. ACORN President Ron Slabaugh, for one, is happy to have Pahl around. “From his research, Greg knows a lot about what is working in community energy production around the world,” Slabaugh says. “[His] approach is particularly helpful in these times where most people don’t realize” the scope of the challenge we face. Ross Conner, CEO at Middlebury’s Vermont Soapworks and a beekeeper on the side, attends ACORN meetings periodically. He says the group couldn’t have formed at a better time. “If we don’t find that the direction our society is moving in is the right one, then we need to make changes in our own lives,” he notes.
Pahl has managed to mobilize lots of like-minded individuals “to work with people and governments to implement various infrastructural changes,” Conner adds. “ACORN will make the future easier to live in.” Life after peak oil will be “smallscale, diversified and decentralized,” Conner continues. But compared with other states, Vermont will be in a good position to “mobilize for its future,” thanks to its existing civic structures. Pahl agrees. He considers renewable technology a “step in the right direction,” but warns, “it’s not enough.” Only through “coordinated community responses” can Vermonters prepare to navigate the downward slope of a peak-oil curve,” he suggests. “I stay hopeful by being involved in projects rather than sitting around, waiting for the sky to fall.” Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

t’s Wednesday evening in the basement of Montpelier’s Kellogg-Hubbard Library, and I’m helping myself to red grapes and flavored seltzer. “Have you tried the lemon kind?� a man asks. He looks nice enough — but you can never tell with people. “I prefer lime,� I say. “But no worries.� Better not to start any needless conflict. I take a seat in the back of a semicircle. If you count late arrivals and walk-ins, our group is about a dozen strong. “Welcome to ‘Difficult Conversations’!� announces Brooke Hadwen, our workshop leader and resident expert. Hadwen is a Neighborhood Interventionist for Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office — smart, attractive, nonconfrontational — and she’s here to help us help ourselves. Organizers at the Montpelier Community Justice Center, some of them graduates of Woodbury College’s program in Mediation and Applied Conflict Studies, designed this event as a way to celebrate and revisit one of their favorite books: Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. (The 1999 self-improvement tome was penned by Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, Sheila Heen and Roger Fisher.) Between now and May 2, the organizers will put on four more workshops, each tailored to a specific interpersonal theme such as “Community,� “End of Life,� and “Workplace.� At tonight’s session, which focuses on “Neighbors,� free copies of the book are available for each participant who sticks around till evening’s end. When my editor first assigned me to report on these proceedings, I didn’t exactly feel my writerly needs were being met. But in light of the day I’ve had, I think this exercise may actually do me some good. “By the time you all leave tonight,� Hadwen promises, “you’ll know the perfect thing to say when you’re in an uncomfortable place.� I smile awkwardly. “For starters, there’s one general rule you can follow for difficult conversations,� she says. “If you ever find yourself in the thick
of one, I encourage everyone to get a little magic wand and wave it in front of anyone they disagree with.� I hold the smile on my face. “That’s a joke, of course,� Hadwen admits. “There is no magic wand for these types of situations.� I laugh along with everyone else. But I wish it were true — probably more than they do. Needless to say, we could all use a little more restorative justice in our dealings with others. But it’s almost as if the event organizers had me in mind when they scheduled Hadwen’s appearance: A few hours ago, I filled my friend Bill’s diesel Jetta with gasoline. Bill (not his real name) is a buddy of four years, an even-keeled, unmedicated kind of dude. But he never fills his car with anything but diesel. There is no telling how he’ll react when he finds out about my latest misadventure. Today’s workshop focuses on neighbors. That word doesn’t quite describe my relationship with Bill, although when we used to room together, he liked to say I behaved as if I lived with strangers. As Hadwen explains how important it is to “step inside ourselves,� some audience members appear to have drifted outside of consciousness. Others squint thoughtfully. The guy in athletic apparel fidgets a lot. “It’s easier to have a difficult conversation when something comes up if you’ve already laid the groundwork for being a good neighbor,� our leader goes on. “You don’t have to bring them cookies every day, but —� No, no, I’m telling myself. Cookies is good. I think Bill likes peanut butter. Hadwen is a professional. “Sometimes,� she continues, “we need to recognize a need to acknowledge someone’s upsetness.� Yes. “Listening is one of those valuable skills we practice all the time.� Respectful silence. Hadwen asks, “What does it feel like to be listened to, everyone?� “The Person is looking at you, obviously,� answers a woman in the front row. From

her sweater, I’d guess she works as a librarian, or in some other position of quiet authority. “Sure,� Hadwen concurs. “That’s essential to good communication. Anyone else have anything to contribute?� A man in the second row clears his throat. “The Person is acknowledging your space boundaries,� he states. “Yes, in a way.� Hadwen smiles. I raise my hand. “Yes?� she says. “The curly-haired guy in back?� “The Person has turned the television off,� I say. Everyone laughs. “I’m serious,� I whisper. Hadwen smiles again, but doesn’t say anything. Later on, during a lull, I peek at a stray copy of Difficult Conversations. The 234-page self-help manifesto promises in the introduction that I will turn to it “again and again for advice, practical skills and reassurance.� The authors claim that “A collision of opinions . . . is a result of our stories simply being different, with neither of us realizing it . . . It’s as if Princess Leia were trying to talk to Huck Finn. No wonder we end up arguing.� No wonder, I agree. Now Hadwen is telling us to break up into groups and share stories of neighborly conflict. We should just talk about whatever comes to mind, she says. I get together with two other good-neighbors-in-training. On my left is a middle-aged guy, polar-fleeced and fatherly, whom I’ll call Tim. To my
ies at this time of night?� is Bill’s first volley. “Some way to welcome me into your home, friend,� I grunt, stepping over the threshold. “Why are you acting so strangely?� “Calm down,� I say. “I have something important to tell you.� “I’m calm,� he claims, rubbing his eyes. “Why are your hands shaking?� “Listen, Bill: Let’s first acknowledge that it’s OK to be wrong and imperfect. It’s OK to admit that everyone’s intentions are complex.� “OK,� he says. “Furthermore, it’s not about if you did or didn’t do it — it’s about how to move forward.� “What did you do this time, Mike?� “Bill, dealing with someone else is like dealing with wildfire. You have to be the manager.� Bill stands up. “Look, Mike. I’m not sure what you’re getting at. But it’s late, and Cynthia and I are going skiing tomorrow, and . . .� “I understand,� I say. “I’ll go.� My coat still feels warm. Even though Hadwen has prepared me for the worst, I’m finding this difficult conversation relatively painless. Then Bill catches me off guard. “Hey, Mike,� he says as I’m jiggling the door lock. “Can I have my car keys back?� My heart revolts in my chest. “Bill, I have something to confess.� Silence. “I left your Jetta across town tonight. It should be ready in the morning, depending.� “Oh, no problem,� Bill says. “We’ll take Cynthia’s Subaru to Mad River. You can leave the keys in my mailbox.� “Sure I can.�
“Neighbors� doesn’t quite describe my relationship with Bill, although when we used to room together, he liked to say I behaved as if I lived with strangers.

right, a pleasant, self-assured, professionallooking woman with straight blond hair. We square our chairs to face one another, and Tim spills his beans. Last week, he explains, his neighbor cut down a few trees, which fell on Tim’s property, et cetera, et cetera. The neighbor was confronted, not ungently, but conflict persists. It seems to me as if Tim could really have a more serious problem on his plate. Like maybe something automotive-related. “Time’s up!� Hadwen announces from the front of the room. “Now, the other people in the group should try to tell the story again. But this time, tell it from the neighbor’s perspective.� Neither I nor the young woman has ever met the tree-feller in question. “It’s hard to imagine what he’d say, without knowing him personally,� she admits. “I know,� I say. “But let’s give Tim’s neighbor the benefit of our doubt, eh?� “Why, though?� “I don’t know,� I say. “I just get this feeling he means well, in the end.� “I’m not so sure,� she warns. Driving home on I-89 in my Nissan, I wonder what Bill will say when I tell him about the gas in his tank. It’s too bad we can’t save our difficult conversation for a more pleasant occasion, I think, as I pull into his empty driveway. “What are you doing with a bag of cook-
“Oh,� he says, remembering, “and do you mind filling it up before you return it?� “Not at all.� “Hey,� he wants to know, “how was that thing tonight, in Montpelier?� “Informative,� I say. “Good. Good for you for going,� he replies, and shuts the door after me. In the morning, I call my parents. “Is something wrong?� Dad asks from his extension. “How was your night at that thing?� “Full of difficult conversation,� I explain. “Bill is so absorbed in his own reality that he can’t acknowledge the intricacies of mine. A line in the sand has definitely been crossed.� “Some people never listen,� he says, and hangs up. I shift the phone to my other ear. Mom is still on the line. I hear dogs barking in the background. “Don’t pay attention to your father,� she cautions. “He’s always shied away from conflict. I’ve never told him that outright, but it’s true. You understand me, Mike?� “Perfectly,� I say. “I mean, it’s not as if one can just wave one’s magic wand at a tense situation and hope it’ll go away or something, Mom.� Of course she agrees.

revity may indeed be the soul of wit, as the Bard noted. But when a playwright pens the succinct two-word direction “They fight,â€? that economy of words can become the soul of a play-within-a-play.

Renkin explains that the best way to simulate an attempt to lop off his arm is to imagine I’m casting a line out the tip of my sword, trying to land it somewhere behind him. Giving it a try, I swing the sword at him in earnest. But I flick my wrist instead of following through — just as I would if I were fishing — and the blade taps his body. “Yesss,� Renkin not so much says as growls, with a mirthful, veritably Puckish grin.

intention,� he tells them. “And acting intention is what the audience is going to get excited about.� The simplicity of the concept hits me like a truncheon to the head: Stage combat is not a martial art. It’s really just acting according to choreographed moves. The first sequence of moves is a basic decapitation attack. But its steps are arranged to maximize the effect: The defender ducks the moment the attacker winds up, well before the sword swings forward. In other words, before the aggressor directs weapon at foe, he or she must receive a cue in the form of a decisive defensive maneuver. Once that signal appears, the attacker can slice the air with gusto and an assurance of safety. The audience sees no hesitation, which bolsters the illusion of violence. Renkin further illustrates the point with an unarmed example. He calls over actor Scott Renzoni and directs Renzoni to pull his hair. An actor in several LNT productions and a stage combat student with the prestigious Shakespeare & Company of Lenox, Massachusetts, Renzoni doesn’t miss a beat in clapping his hand to Renkin’s head. The two stumble across the floor, Renkin’s hands gripping Renzoni’s arm in an apparent effort to break his grip. In fact, exactly the opposite is happening: Renzoni is trying to let go, while Renkin is holding his hand fast. What the audience sees is two actors physically exerting themselves, their expressions communicating utter hatred. My head stings just watching them. That’s how you sell a stage fight to an audience — but it’s only part of the battle. The fight director is, above all, a member of a storytelling team. Fight scenes must serve the play by advancing the plot and developing character. According to Paul Ugalde, the unrivaled local “go to� guy for fight direction, “It’s got to be story-based, or all you have is weapons exchange.�

The simplicity of the concept hits me like a truncheon: Stage combat is not a martial art. It’s really just acting according to choreographed moves. Renkin approached that clash as he does all stage combat scenes: with an eye to telling a fight story that makes sense, given casting choices and the playwright’s intentions. “If you have two actors in a fight, and one guy is 7-foot-2 and built like a refrigerator, and the other guy is my size, but the script says my guy wins,â€? he says, “[my] job is to find a story where that happens.â€? The key, he adds, is understanding the results a fight should produce. “Why do they fight?â€? Renkin says. “If we cut that direction from the play, what don’t we get to see?â€? For Bent, Renkin’s work on Romeo & Juliet really hit its mark. “He made everybody look good and feel confident and safe while they were doing it,â€? Bent says. Renkin and Ugalde would both consider that high praise, since safety is paramount in good fight choreography. “If we can’t do it safely, we can’t do it,â€? Ugalde says. Bona fide fight moves aren’t just too dangerous for the stage; they can be too “realistic,â€? as well. Renkin recalls directing an actor who had trained as a boxer and was conditioned to use feints in fights. Such deception, Renkin points out, would most likely deceive the audience, too. Ugalde finds other good reasons to keep theatrical artifice in mind when fight directing. “Real fights would look like hell on stage,â€? he says. “They’d be very quick and really messy.â€? Those fights might also include blows in what Ugalde calls “the headshot zone.â€? He never choreographs shots above the shoulder. Why not? “An actor with a dueling scar doesn’t get a lot of jobs.â€? ďż˝

Ugalde is also certified by SAFD and has staged fights for dozens of area troupes and shows, including an LNT production of The Taming of the Shrew in which Renkin acted. He and Renkin cite Shakespeare as an author who offers rich material from which to craft fight choreography. “Shakespeare . . . doesn’t exactly tell you what the action is,� Renkin says. “He gives you all kinds of clues about what has driven each character to that moment and what they’re like after that moment . . . but you know you have to get from point A to point B.� While some thespians may view fight direction as a mere “add-on� to a play’s rehearsal process, Ugalde cautions that fight scenes can carry hefty dramatic weight. “You’re going to have your actors acting for five acts of the story, and it ends with my fight,� he says, addressing himself to directors who might be tempted to give fight rehearsal short shrift. Just as characters are distinct from one another, so their fight moves should be individualized as well. As the fight director on LNT’s 2006 production of Romeo & Juliet, Renkin scripted physical taunts and fancy footwork to depict swaggering lads Mercutio and Tybalt as a wiseass and a poseur, respectively. As LNT co-artistic director Kim Bent recalls, Renkin also designed the opening brawl to highlight the show’s unique casting — high-school-age actors playing the Capulets, elementary schoolers playing the rival Montagues — to dramatic effect. “We had the audience cheering because the younger kids weren’t losing the fight,� Bent says.

BY MARC AWODEY
Tale of Two Cities t’s hard to visit “Burlington and Winooski 19202020” without musing over what might have been. The major exhibit at the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum gathers architectural drawings, historic photographs, beautifully executed maps and fairly technical master plans and models to “examine the EXHIBIT impact of urban renewal and historic preservation” on “Burlington and the twin cities. Urban renewal was a process in which Winooski 1920- neighborhoods and industrial areas deemed “blighted” 2020: The evoluwere often demolished to engineer a brighter future. tion of our built environment.” But it was a blunt instrument, as historic preservationFleming Museum, ists discovered later: “Renewed” communities often UVM, Burlington. felt cut adrift from any sense of place. Through June 24. Of course, humans are not alone in shaping the urban environment. An obscure photographer with an ARTWORK eye for dramatic events, H. Kurilchyk, published a “Good By Trolly famous postcard of the Champlain Mill looming over Car” (sic) by H. Kurilchyk, 1929 raging Winooski River rapids during the great flood of November 1927. Vermont’s diluvial misfortune had a PHOTO decisive effect on the look of Winooski. Woolen mills Courtesy of already in economic decline suffered damage; a 120UVM Special year-old wooden crib dam and nearby bridges were Collections, swept away. Numerous flood images in the Fleming Bailey-Howe Library exhibition illustrate that, although Burlington and Winooski share access to the river, it has most profoundly affected the Winooski side. The handiwork of two contemporary artists — architect John Anderson and photographer Dan Higgins — figures prominently in the show. In 1991 a new hydroelectric dam was built on the ruins of Winooski’s earlier wooden dam. Anderson’s 1980 drawing “Hydro-Electric Facility: Winooski Drawing No. 6” is a utopian study envisioning something very
I
different from the compact and utilitarian dam that eventually emerged. His view is of a riverwalk playground. Couples float around in fantasy dinghies, a jazz band provides ambiance, and sweeping enclosures protect sightseers from the elements. Equally fanciful are Anderson’s 1979 drawings for the now-legendary Winooski “Golden Onion Dome” proposal. It was fleshed out in a 1980 dome symposium at St. Michael’s College that was attended by many luminaries, including futurist — and geodesic dome inventor — R. Buckminster Fuller. The Winooski narrative that unfolds in Higgins’ photography is a more cautionary tale. In the tradition of Paris photographer Eugene Atget, who was commissioned by French authorities to document quarters of the capital destined for demolition, Higgins recorded blocks in downtown Winooski that would be sacrificed on the altar of urban renewal before the advent of historic preservation. The dome bubble burst following the 1980 symposium, and several flattened downtown acres remained a sterile parking lot for two decades. Perhaps by 2020 the latest redevelopment will have erased Winooski’s original, federally sponsored debacle from memory. The allure of “out with the old, in with the new” is evident in the exhibition’s most ironic image. In a celebratory blaze at the corner of Burlington’s Main and St. Paul streets in 1929, the last trolley car of the Burlington Traction Company was torched before an enthusiastic crowd of several thousand onlookers. Like a witness to the lynching of public transportation, at a time when automobiles were rapidly modernizing Burlington’s streets, intrepid photographer H. Kurilchyk
was on hand. He created a postcard of the festive event entitled “Good By Trolly Car.” Some 60 years later, a visionary proposal was made to resurrect trolleys in Burlington. After study, it was scaled back to the size of the gasoline-powered faux cable car on College Street, euphemistically called “the trolley.” A more conventional shuttle bus usurped its route a few years later. The exhibition also includes models and master plans created in the design evolution of Church Street Marketplace and Burlington’s waterfront. The waterfront began to take shape in the 1980s; the city took an important step when it bought railroad rights to the land dating from the 19th century. The commercial development proposed at that time, called the Alden Plan, was a “Fanueil Hall-type project” with an upscale marina. Though more realistic than Winooski’s riverwalk dam and dome ideas, the plan didn’t pass muster with Burlington voters. As the original models show, however, some elements of the Alden Plan appear to be easing their way onto the waterfront after all. Conveniently sited around the galleries are iMacs with links to images on UVM’s Landscape Change Program database, providing additional context for the exhibition. The computers give easy access to images of the advent of Dutch Elm Disease and highway development, along with 80 years’ worth of aerial photography. That multimedia approach is well suited to the ephemeral character and hundred-year scope of this unique urban-planning exhibition. m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

playing the electronic field
The Business of Play Nintendo’s not playing around. Before the Wii launched, financial analysts such as Merrill Lynch expected the system to retail for $199, maybe even less. The trouble with that wild guessing was that Nintendo never had a reason to sell the Wii for less than $249 — its current price. With a bottom-end Xbox 360 selling for $299 and a new PlayStation 3 landing on the shelves starting at $499, Nintendo can sell a machine for anything less than 300 bucks and have consumers look at the purchase as a real gaming deal. “Wii Play” shows up months after the console’s launch to prove the point. For $49, you get nine little games packaged with one extra controller. Anyone who has played the Wii knows that the system shows its best face when a roomful of people get together and enjoy some multiplayer fun. Oddly, the Wii shipped with only one controller. And even though you can play “pass-the-controller” in games such as bowling or golf on “Wii Sports,” the fact remains: more controllers equal more fun. Nintendo solved this problem by selling “Wii Play,” an add-on package that provides the missing piece. The genius of this plan: It lets Ninetndo hang onto a value-price point while still keeping the revenue rolling in. So, instead of selling a $300 Wii with two controllers and setting a retail price dangerously close to the Xbox, Nintendo just held back on the missing controller and offered it as an extra that every Wii owner in the world will want. Much like “Wii Sports” — the game that came packed in with the original system — “Wii Play” bundles nine simple games that show off the system’s technology. Some of the games — including shooting, pool and air hockey — work well. Others — like fishing and cow racing — seem a little like
SUDOKU By Linda Thistle
“Wii Play” Wii $49.99 (including Wii controller) E for Everyone Web-game castoffs. “Pose Mii” and “Find Mii,” which use bobblehead cartoon avatars players create for themselves, are actually as fun as they are weird. Whether or not you consider “Wii Play” a gimmick to sell controllers or a perfect set of party games, Nintendo’s strategy seems to be working. With close to 5 million Wiis shipped globally and a maddening shortage of units in the stores, gamers can’t seem to get enough of the Wii. As much as Sony and Microsoft had hoped to push the base price of the home game system up, Nintendo has shown that $250 remains the more popular figure. This might seem like dull boardroom banter. But under– standing a little about the business of games can help to explain what’s going on in the industry. You can sit and wonder why Nintendo would release another collection of OK, casual games rather than worrying
about getting another “Mario” or “Metroid” on the shelves. “Wii Play” finishes the job of packing up the Wii that should have shipped in the first place. Who’s It For: If you have a Wii and any friends, you’ll want “Wii Play.” If You Like This, Try That: “Wii Play” provides loads of fun in a simple package. The recently released online Wii channel, “Everybody Votes,” lets players vote on simple questions (Cats or dogs?), and then compares their answers to global results. Simple, silly and supremely enjoyable. Best Part: In a world of everincreasing graphic quality, the decidedly low fidelity of the Wii’s graphics have started to grow on players. Who cares about levels of detail when you’re playing a game that has all the visual charm — and enjoyment — of an arcade game from the ’80s?

theborowitzreport Supreme Court Gives Gore’s Oscar to Bush
J
ust days after former Vice President Al Gore received an Academy Award for his global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, the United States Supreme Court handed Mr. Gore a stunning reversal, stripping him of his Oscar and awarding it to President George W. Bush instead. For Mr. Gore, who basked in the adulation of his Hollywood audience Sunday night, the high court’s decision to give his Oscar to President Bush was a cruel twist of fate, to say the least. But in a 5-4 decision handed down Tuesday morning, the justices made it clear that they had taken the unprecedented step of stripping Mr. Gore of his Oscar because President Bush deserved it more. “It is true that Al Gore has done a lot of talking about global warming,” wrote Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority. “But President Bush has actually helped create global warming.” In another setback for the former vice president, a group of scientists meeting in Oslo, Norway, today said that Mr. Gore was growing at an unsustainable rate.
“The polar ice caps may be shrinking, but Al Gore is clearly expanding,” said Dr. Hiroshi Kyosuke of the University of Tokyo. The scientists concluded that if Mr. Gore continues to expand at his current rate, he could cause the earth to spin off its axis by 2010, sending it hurtling into the sun. “Here’s an inconvenient truth,” Dr. Kyosuke added. “Al’s got to stay away from those carbs.”
It is true that Al Gore has done a lot of talking about global warming. ANTONIN SCALIA Elsewhere, after foreigners received a record number of Academy Award nominations, CNN anchor Lou Dobbs proposed building a 12-foot high fence around the Kodak Theater.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Dear Rob: As
an experiment, I’ve been trying to soften myself — to see what it’s like to stand in a room and not always take the lead, not assume that no one else knows what they’re doing except me. It’s had an interesting effect so far: People seem more eager to play nice and offer me their good energy. But I don’t know if I’m willing to give up my take-charge instincts for much longer. Do I have to resign myself to either being strong or being loved? — Assertive Aries.” Dear Assertive: Could you add a little more love to your takecharge ferocity? And be more softly aggressive? And be openhearted in your assertiveness?
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): I’m betting on the imminent arrival of at least two of the following climaxes: (1) You’ll culminate a task or goal you’ve been working on for months. (2) You’ll remember an important intention you’d forgotten for a long time. (3) You’ll graduate from a crash course you’ve been taking since October 2006. (4) You’ll be reunited with a lost sheep or forsaken dream that’s ready for another chance.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): If given three wishes by a fairy godmother, as in the heroes of old fairy tales, you probably wouldn’t ask for the ability to fly or the power to turn invisible or the gift of a golden carriage pulled by eight white horses crowned with white ostrich feathers. But what would you choose? Something like “I wish I could solve my relationship problems”? Or maybe “I wish I could find my direction in life,” or “I wish I had enough money to do the things I love to do”? This is an excellent time to get clear about your three wishes, Gemini. If you do, I can almost guarantee that at least one of them will come closer to fulfillment in the coming weeks.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): When Emperor Joseph II heard Mozart’s opera Abduction from the Seraglio in 1782, he remarked, “Too many notes, my dear Mozart, too many notes!” Sound
familiar? I suspect you are exuding so much complex beauty and mysterious intelligence that, like Mozart, you may elicit responses akin to the emperor’s. Don’t take it personally. Though it is possible you’ll get a bit excessive, what’s more likely is that you’ll be as deep and rich and concentrated and emotive and vivid as you need to be in order to express what’s true for you right now. Will that make some people feel nervous or overwhelmed? Probably.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The time is ripe to
sign a new contract with yourself. Put it all in writing — I mean the promises you want to make to your future self. Describe the ideals you intend to live up to, the freedoms you want to fight for, and the changes you want to make in the world around you. There’s no need to sign it in ink made from your blood, but I do suggest that you dab some of your sweat and tears on the document.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): While riding my bike along a route I’ve often traveled, I spied an unexpected sight: Standing amidst a twist of vines was a red signpost that said “Cherry Blossom Lane.” How could I not have seen that before? I pedaled over and found the beginning of a narrow road that had previously escaped me as well. I felt like I was in one of those dreams where you discover a hidden magic room in the attic of a familiar house. My heart filled with an irrational, child-like anticipation of imminent delight. I pedaled up a steep incline, disappointed to see there were no cherry trees in bloom. But as I reached the end of a cul-desac, I spotted a glint of gold in the mud. It was a statue of Jesus and Buddha holding hands, and there was a $20 bill taped to the bottom. Everything I just described is a metaphor for what I predict you’ll soon experience.
LIbRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States four times, but he never won a majority of the votes in his home county of Duchess in

New York. There is something comparable going on in your personal sphere, Libra: You’re getting more appreciation from outside your circle than you are from inside. Is there anything you can do about it? I think so. You now have the power to raise your standing among those in your immediate environment. Give them a vivid demonstration of what you’re really worth.
and in your roles as friend, parent, community member, and all-around ethical person. Be stubborn in your insistence that we humans are capable of more and better, and prod others into being their best and most beautiful selves. If they refuse, end your relationship with them, but keep wishing them well.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Sports
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I foresee a
time when women’s earnings will match men’s and when women will compose half of every governmental body instead of a measly ten percent. I predict an awakening that will help men understand that the global conspiracy to cripple and demean female power damages them as much as it does women. Until the coming of that happy day, I recommend that you celebrate International Women’s Day every day — and especially during the next three weeks. Your health, wealth, sex appeal, and wisdom will flourish in direct proportion to your efforts to give female intelligence more room to be expressed.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In his poem “Treasure Island,” Keith Althaus describes this scenario: “the tireless lighthouse flashes its ambiguous message: equal parts safety and danger.” What’s the equivalent of that in your life, Sagittarius? Is there a person, situation or symbolic thing that is both warning you of a potential problem and telling you how to find sanctuary in a specific solution? Whatever it is, deepen your relationship with it so you’ll be finely attuned to the guidance it’s offering.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): [Editor’s
note: This week’s horoscope was written by one of my readers, Artstar. It’s entitled “How to Be a Capricorn.”] Be a workaholic as you build a beautiful life for yourself and those you care about most. Love as hard as you work; be a loveaholic. In fact, be doggedly devoted to becoming the best you can be in every way — not just in your career but also in your marriage
franchises sell the naming rights to their stadiums. Baseball’s San Francisco Giants play at AT&T Park, for instance. Then there are the parents who’ve sold the naming rights to their unborn children on eBay. Inspired by these precedents, I’m thinking about selling the naming rights to the astrological signs. Instead of just “Aquarius,” I could maybe convince Nike to invest in calling it “Nike’s Aquarius.” Better yet, maybe I could hawk the rights (at a lower rate, of course) to organizations whose cultural influence I actually respect: Burning Man’s Aquarius or Greenpeace’s Aquarius. Given your current astrological omens, you should entertain an idea like this. Maybe you could add a corporate sponsor as your new middle name or as the name of your blog or your pet or your genitals. Consider it, Aquarius. It’s the perfect time to think outside the box in regard to bringing more money into your life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Molecular
scientist Robert Bohannon knows a way to cram even more obscene gratification into a doughnut. He has discovered the secret to infusing pastries with a non-bitter version of caffeine. If bakers adopt his innovation, a doughnut would not only be able to have its usual sugary kick, but could also deliver the punch of two cups of coffee. Judging from the current astrological omens, Pisces, I’d say you’ll soon be able to find a healthy metaphorical equivalent to this pathological marvel for your own use. In other words, you’ll intensify your enjoyment of an already fine pleasure.

film review
Zodiac HHHH
D
DEAD END Downey and Gyllenhaal play journalists sucked into a mystery they can’t solve.
on’t listen to anyone who tells you that David Fincher’s new movie is too long or that its ending will leave you unsatisfied. Lots of the film’s early notices read like reviews of a restaurant where the service was slow and the waitstaff never got around to bringing dessert. Zodiac, to the contrary, is a masterfully made anti-procedural that’s fascinating from start to finish. The absence of resolution, of traditional narrative closure, is the whole point here. The serial killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay area for several years beginning in the late 1960s, and who referred to himself in letters he sent to the press as the Zodiac, was
never caught. The filmmaker who gave us The Game, Seven and Fight Club has undertaken a mystery of the most unconventional kind. Rather than watching as clues are assembled and a solution is found, we look on as four men assemble clues and find only that their lives and careers are destroyed to varying degrees by their obsession with the case. The film is a sort of forensic All the President’s Men. Robert Downey and Jake Gyllenhaal play San Francisco Chronicle coworkers. As Paul Avery, Downey covers the paper’s crime beat and struggles with addictions to drugs and alcohol. (How’s that for savvy casting? And it’s not even the picture’s savviest.) Gyllenhaal’s the daily’s cartoonist, Robert Graysmith, a former Eagle Scout who finds himself inexplicably compelled to unravel the riddle. The script is based on the two bestsellers he went on to write. Soon after two teenagers on a date are shot in 1968, newspapers including the Chronicle started receiving taunting letters containing cryptic encoded messages. The killer demanded the papers publish his communiqués and they complied, making him one of the most famous and feared figures in the country. More killings followed, along with more letters and
thousands of leads that seemed to go nowhere. On the law enforcement side of things, police were as baffled as were reporters. Their investigations led to similar dead ends. Anthony Edwards and Mark Ruffalo portray homicide detectives William Armstrong and Dave Toschi. The former ultimately left the force in large part due to frustrations with the Zodiac case. The latter stuck it out as the investigation dragged on for decades, long after the murders had stopped. At one point, the killer had authorities so turned around that Toschi himself even came under suspicion for having penned one of the madman’s missives. All the key players do finely tuned, immensely watchable work. Fincher employs a newly subdued approach that eschews flashiness in favor of character study and information flow. It’s a truly audacious experiment, and he pulls it off with mood and suspense to spare. He also comes as close to solving the mystery as anyone ever has, having unearthed new clues in the course of his preparations. He’s the perfect director to tell the story of these obsessed men. As it turns out, he’s one of them. As for that savviest bit of casting: Think of the sweetest, least threatening male movie role in the last couple of decades and you might recall the cherubic face of John Carroll Lynch, who played Frances McDormand’s stamp-designing husband in Fargo. The director picked him to play the late Arthur Leigh Allen, the man experts consider the suspect most likely to have been the Zodiac. Great choice. Chilling performance. A dead ringer for Allen, he looks like the last person who’d commit these crimes. Which, if he did, may be why he got away with murder. RICK KISONAK
Wild Hogs HH
A
HOG-MILD Oscar nominees take pratfalls in this uninspired but good-natured comedy.
h, the thrill of the open road. The wind in your hair. The smell of asphalt. And the paunchy, aging babyboomers zipping past on Harleys, sporting black leather duds in a desperate attempt to recapture their youth. But wait a minute. These aren’t just any mid-lifecrisis casualties. They’re Stars with a capital S — Oscar-nominated John Travolta and William H. Macy, 1990s sitcom gods Tim Allen and Martin Lawrence — and they’re here to draw big paychecks in a dumb but amiable comedy that mocks male insecurities. (For a dose of estrogen, i.e., a love interest, actual Oscar winner Marisa Tomei is also in the mix.) The film opens with a shot of the four “Wild Hogs” seated high on their rigs, roaring through a peaceful Cincinnati suburb. No, they’re not going to terrorize the squares who live here — they are the squares. The gang logo on the back of their jackets was stitched by one of their wives. They ride their bikes in parades featuring majorettes, and talk spas and investments with the bartender at their favorite “biker joint.” In short, as Woody (Travolta), the testiest Hog, complains, “We’re more like wild lambs.” He’s the one who comes up with the idea: If the Hogs take their hogs on the open road, heading for the Pacific, maybe they can reclaim the daredevil thrill of youth. The road trip will be “St. Elmo’s Fire. The Wild Bunch. Deliverance!” Woody enthuses, making his friends gulp and exchange glances.
“Deliverance?” Hogging out is one thing, but nobody wants to squeal like a pig. Yuppie prudence struggles with biker bravado in this foursome, and their predictable losses of nerve fuel the movie’s comedy. Each man has his personal demons to tackle. Doug (Allen) is a dull dentist whose son forsakes him to play ball with the “cool” dad down the street. Bobby (Lawrence) has a job cleaning people’s toilets and a wife who barks at him like a drill sergeant. Dudley (Macy) is a geek who’s scared to even talk to a woman. And Woody has it all — fat investment portfolio, supermodel wife — but is on the verge of losing it. While it’s hard to fathom how these mismatched guys became best friends, they offer a predictable recipe for a buddy comedy. When the Hogs reach New Mexico and run afoul of a gang of “real” bikers, all the ingredients are in place. As the head of the Del Fuegos, Ray Liotta pretty much reprises his 1986 breakthrough role in Jonathan Demme’s Something Wild: a badass who scares the crap out of yuppies trying to walk on the wild side. All that’s changed is his paunch. The movie’s gags are nothing new. Macy takes regular falls from his bike that start out unfunny and get tedious. Tired gay innuendos abound, as the Hogs are mistaken for a male-bonding session of the Brokeback Mountain variety. But the script by Brad Copeland, who’s written for above-average sitcoms such as
“Arrested Development,” includes a few decent lines. They’re best delivered by Macy, who’s deliciously weird talking about his “poop bag” — no polluting the wilderness for him — or warning a dance partner, “The music moves me, but it moves me ugly.” The movie is structured like a sitcom episode — everybody gets life lessons, with serious music to underline the moment. Peter Fonda shows up to supply the obligatory allusion to Easy Rider, and it’s hard to fault the movie’s carpe-diem-but-live-and-let-live message. But wild? No way. MARGOT HARRISON

< food> Mr. Clean Health inspector al Burns keeps vermont restaurants from making you sick PHOTO: jOrdan silverman

leeding chefs. Plywood cutting boards. Rats in the kitchen. Al Burns has seen it all in 37 years as a Vermont restaurant inspector. Along with the eight “sanitarians” he supervises at the Department of Health, the state’s top food enforcer keeps tabs on 5000 commercial kitchens from Newport to Bennington, plus every hospital, school and street vendor in the state. Members of this food-safety task force never make a reservation. They drop in unannounced about once a year, in search of mouse droppings, flour mites, contaminated counters, dirty hands and other signs of unsanitary conditions that could threaten public health. In addition, every citizen complaint — even anonymous ones — initiates a separate investigation. In 2006 alone, Burns and company conducted more than 9000 inspections of Vermont food-serving establishments. “Someday,” the 75-year-old says with a chuckle, “I’m going to write a book. Nobody will ever eat again, and everyone will want to kill me.” Who’d read such an exposé? Local restaurateurs. Foodies. Culinary students. Clean freaks. People who can’t resist scouring the restaurant report cards published monthly in The Burlington Free Press. The local daily assembles the sanitation scores of Chittenden County restaurants, including all of their numeric deductions in 13 “critical” categories that require onthe-spot remediation. The Freeps gets the info from the health department’s website, which offers more narrative detail. It’s good reading — unless, of course, your restaurant fails to make the grade. Two scenarios can lead to a shut-down: The first is a
score of less than 70 points; the second, a proprietor’s inability or refusal to correct a critical violation. Burns says the public scoring system is a huge motivator for restaurants: “There’s always someone who wants us to come back out and do an inspection the next day so they’ll have a better score.” That could explain the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center’s willingness to submit to its second inspection since January. The report on the health department’s website indicates that the establishment lost a total of 10 points for “critical”
violations two months ago: five points for allowing “personnel with infectious and communicable diseases” on the job and another five for failing to “wash hands and use good hygienic practices.” One of the biggest kitchens in Vermont scored a total of 85 out of 100. Today’s inspection is different. It’s prearranged, because Burns is accompanied by a journalist: The health department won’t permit any other arrangement when a member of the media is present. The Sheraton should be able to improve its score — at the very least, it can give any

incorruptibility — in short, perfectly tempered to deal with the occasional hot-headed chef. This inspection may be “staged,” but Burns won’t go easy on the Sheraton, which can turn out up to 3000 meals a day. Flashlight in hand, he heads right for the “line,” where all the high-stress cooking happens. A handful of French fries lies on the floor, presumably from today’s lunch. But Burns is more interested in what lies behind the shiny stainless counters and well-seasoned grills. He illuminates the greasy darkness in search of animal signs — “the type of thing that might be an indication of a bigger problem” — and uses one of four different thermometers to probe the guacamole, sour cream and dressings in the sandwich refrigerator. So far, so cool. Sous-chef Ed LaDue accompanies Burns as he makes the rounds; ultimately, he’ll have to sign the inspector’s report. La-
had a “ServSafe” course — a daylong seminar on proper food handling offered by the National Restaurant Association. LaDue has, so the inspector spares him a five-question quiz. Burns teaches a cheaper version of the same course through the Vermont Department of Health. And he’s particularly qualified to stand at the front of the classroom. Burns earned a degree in public health at the University of Denver while he was serving in the Air Force. Courses in entomology, parasitology, bacteriology, anatomy, physiology, water sanitation, sewage disposal and industrial hygiene prepared him to inspect military barracks and mess halls. “In the service they used to call us preventative-medicine specialists,” Burns explains. “The whole idea there was we were keeping people from being sick.” Burns has also spent time on the other end of the spatula. After the Air Force, he worked for a while at Al’s French Frys — no relation — and later opened a seasonal snack bar between
A healthy tension has always existed between food producers and the “state.” The regulatory relationship dates back to at least 1202, when King John of England outlawed the adulteration of bread. The U.S. colonies had some food-related statutes, too, but it wasn’t until 1906 that Congress passed the original Meat Inspection and Food and Drug acts. That occurred in the wake of Upton Sinclair’s slaughterhouse exposé The Jungle. Public outcry over the novel helped create a confluence of public-health concerns that overpowered the forces of commerce and competition. The Jungle makes a compelling case for government oversight, reminding readers that tainted food can be as dangerous as faulty firearms or bad medicine. Burns makes that case, too, though he knows food vendors and restaurateurs aren’t exactly overjoyed to see him show up wearing his green Department of Health cap and a fanny pack full of thermometers. “We’re not trying to put people out of busi-

Due is right there when Burns pulls a dirty drip tray from under one of the grills. Ditto for the caulking compound detaching from one of the overhead ventilation hoods. “That’s going to fall into somebody’s soup,” Burns says, indicating the long strips of brown rubber hanging precariously above, “and I’ll be back out inspecting.” He makes a note on a one-sheet form attached to his clipboard. The dishwashing area gets similar scrutiny. Burns sends a different thermometer — “at dish level” — through the machine to make sure the water is hot enough: It’s supposed to be at least 170 degrees. First time through, the dial reads 115. On the second pass, it reaches the requisite 171.3, and Burns moves on to a floor-to-ceiling shelf used for storing silverware. There are utensils on flat racks, in plastic tubs and standing on end in containers. But within their segregated areas — knives, spoons, forks — they’re all mixed up, facing opposite directions. Burns explains the problem: “Nobody can handle them without touching the eating surface.” That’s another mark on the clipboard. Burns asks LaDue if he’s
Barton and Orleans. The B ’n’ W is still operational. In short, Burns has been around long enough to understand how bugs like staphylococcus and legionella — the source of Legionnaires’ disease— get into the food supply, and he has some theories about the recent spike in nationwide food-contamination cases. Increasingly virulent bacteria, for one. In a lighthearted reference to the latest salmonella outbreak, Burns jokes with Banquet Manager Jim Karpinski. “You have any Peter Pan peanut butter?” “I don’t know. I could check,” Karpinski offers earnestly, mistaking the inspector’s sense of humor for regulatory rigor. “Have you checked?” Burns presses, sounding more serious now. “What kind of peanut butter do we have?” Karpinski asks LaDue nervously. “I don’t think it’s Peter Pan.” “Skippy,” LaDue replies. “Are we safe with Skippy?” Karpinski asks Burns. “For right now, as far as I know, you are. Maybe tomorrow it will be another story.”
ness; we’re trying to make them have safe food for the public,” he explains. “By the same token, we’re protecting the restaurant, too, in a way, if you stop to think about it. When it comes down to liability, if they make someone sick, they’re the one who’s going to get zapped.” The FDA began administering food-service “sanitation programs” in 1969 — the same year Burns started working for the health department as a restaurant inspector. While he was “in the field,” covering the Northeast Kingdom, Burns busted one restaurant that had a dirty plywood cutting board on the floor. In Lyndonville, he saw rats. When the town closed a dump on one side of the burg and opened a landfill on the other, “The rodents all went through town,” he recalls. “They were in the restaurants and everywhere.” Burns also went to two Grateful Dead concerts and one Phish show. In a professional capacity, of course. “We had to license all the booths and inspect them all . . . We make them have hand-wash facilities on board,” he says. >> 0 B

This Bill Is for the Birds VERMONT LAWMAKERS HAVE A LOT ON THEIR PLATES
Laying hens have a pretty raw deal at factory farms. Often confined to tiny cages, the birds spend their entire lives unable to spread their wings. On February 15, two members of the Vermont House, Carol Hosford (D-Waitsfield) and Jim Masland (D-Thetford), introduced H.311 to try to alleviate the birds’ suffering. Citing Ben & Jerry’s recent decision to use only cage-free eggs, and work by students at UVM and Middlebury urging the same on their respective campuses, the bill proposes state agencies make it official. The law would also require that all Vermont hens be afforded enough space to “extend fully both wings without touching the sides of the living space or other birds.”
from “Cranberry-Almond Granola” to “Localvore Indian Vegetable Stew.” True to public radio form, each recipe is accompanied by an anecdote in which the author explains the recipe’s history and why he or she thought it ought to be shared. Cheryl Willoughby, who hosts VPR Classical’s morning program, says this of her pumpkin soup: “Like any true Taurus, I have a deep, undoubtedly over-developed appreciation for creature comforts . . .” The accompanying recipe looks comforting indeed. It blends pumpkin with butter, leeks, broth, green apple, spices, heavy cream and sour cream. The prize for weirdest recipe title goes to Mitch Wertlieb, local host of “Morning Edition.” He calls his offering “Grendel’s guilty-gobbling ginger bears.” Why such a complex title for simple spice cookies? Last Christmas the Wertliebs’ black Lab mix, Grendel, scarfed a whole bunch of them and “then looked really guilty about it,” Wertlieb writes. The station doesn’t have a test kitchen, but Hollenberger can vouch for the recipes she’s tried. Long-time volunteer Barrett Grimm’s curried lentil stew was a winner, as was Jody Evans’ cranberryalmond granola, which the station manager gave away for Christmas. Executive assistant Jean Stilley’s peach soup wowed Hollenberger’s 10-yearold son, who said it was “like eating dessert for dinner.”

Masland’s not sure the House Agriculture Committee will even look at the “chicken bill,” as he calls it. “This year we’ve had a super-flood of bills,” he points out. Of the 511 measures that have been introduced during this session, “maybe 100 will be given serious consideration,” he says. But he holds out hope there may still be some interest. “Eggs are good, but we don’t need to do that nasty stuff to get them,” he suggests. Committee Chair David Zuckerman (PBurlington) is also uncertain about the prospects for the proposed poultry legislation. Some committee members would like to pursue it, he says, while others sees it “as more of a ‘feel-good’ bill.” The committee is currently focused on “agricultural viability issues” such as slaughterhouse capacity, he says. Ag isn’t the only place where food-related legislation is in the works. Rep. Thomas Koch (R-Barre) introduced H.477, which “proposed to require chain restaurants to post nutritional information for all food sold.” On the Senate side, Kevin J. Mullin (R-Rutland) wants to emulate New York City — he sponsored S.130, which would “ban the use of artificial trans fat at food service establishments in Vermont beginning July 1, 2007.” Not all of the proposals are bans or restrictions. S.120 would legalize wine tasting at farmers’ markets, and H.20 would allow for the creation of two special Vermont license plates — one to promote skiing and the other, maple syrup.
Radio Recipes TUNING IN TO VPR COOKS
If you think Vermont Public Radio is all about classical music, news and pledge drives, think again — the station is way into food, too. “We’re lucky around here,” the VPR Cooks webpage (www. vpr.net) trumpets. “Quite a few VPR staffers are terrific cooks.” That goes for listeners, too. “VPR listeners love to cook and love good food,” says producer Leah Hollenberger, who notes that during pledge drives, volunteers often talk food. Sharing recipes is also “a great way for listeners to get to know VPR staffers.” The page is a repository for almost 50 recipes, which were originally published in “Preview,” the e-newsletter the station sends out to 11,000 subscribers each week. Offerings run the gamut
It’s been a South Burlington institution since 1955, but on March 31, 2007, the Parkway Diner will be closing its doors . . . temporarily. George and Christine Alvanos, who have been leasing the diner for the past decade, are moving on to their new business, the Pine Street Deli, formerly Red Roberts. Although the Alvanoses declined to speak with Seven Days about the move, a diner-focused website, www.theamericanroadside. com, reported that the couple wanted to purchase the building or extend their lease but “were rebuffed.” George Hatgen, who owns the building and ran the diner himself for 20 years, confirmed that his son, Peter Hatgen, will “take over on the first of April.” George explained that the diner will be closed for about a month for cleaning, painting and repairs. “I used to take a lot of time to keep it clean,” he said. “Now it needs a lot of work.” He hopes to be on hand to help his son, and says the business name, menu and “people” will remain the same.

It’s been a busy week for the Localvore folk. A new chapter of the movement is starting up in the Northeast Kingdom. There will be an informational meeting at the St. J. Food Co-op on March 20 from 5:30-7 p.m. Call 748-9498 for details . . . Hardcore localvores do all their frying with butter and lard. Soon they’ll have another fat option: Butterworks Farms’ sunflower oil, coming to a food co-op near you. Julie Sperling and Doug Freilich of Naga Bakery in Middletown Springs are dying to share the secret of delicious sourdough. Their hands-on, one-day workshop includes info about sourdough starters and details about how to mix and shape dough. Each participant takes home a loaf of bread from the wood-fired oven, plus some sourdough starter for their own. The workshop, which costs $75, runs on March 10 and 11, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call 235-1282 for questions or to reserve a spot. On Tuesday, March 13, Vermont Public Television’s “Outdoor Journal” goes wild. The episode, which airs at 7:30 p.m., will feature a slew of Vermonters preparing uncultivated foods such as morel mushrooms, watercress, fiddlehead ferns, grouse and cattail pollen. Guest chefs include mushroom maven Robert Resnik, NECI chef Tom Bivins and foragers Nova Kim and Les Hook. Sounds like some tasty TV. SUZANNE PODHAIZER

The Sheraton has two hand sinks in the kitchen. Burns uses them both during the course of his inspection. He scrubs like a surgeon, lathering for at least 20 seconds. “It’s a long time, but that’s what’s in our regs,” says Burns, noting that the industry standard for food-service workers is more rigorous than that for hospital personnel. “I think it was ‘60 Minutes’ that reported 62 percent of people in America don’t wash their hands after they go to the bathroom,” Burns says. “My point is that, of the other 38 percent, only about 10 percent wash them effectively.” Burns has multiple motives for the personal hygiene demo. He knows it’s one of the single biggest preventable threats to food safety, and points out that another batch of cantaloupe was recalled last week as a result of bacteria from poopy hands. “I want the kitchen staff to see that I do wash my hands — that’s number one. And number two, I want to check the temperature of the water . . . If it ain’t where it should be, they’re going to hear about it.” Burns later discovers there’s no hot water in the employee men’s room. What else is the Sheraton going to hear about after two hours of checking walk-ins, trash compactors, pantries, sewer pipes and pans of potatoes? The protective gloves the cooks are wearing should be plastic or vinyl, not the latex variety they have currently. Enough people are allergic, Burns says, that in 2003 the FDA started advising against using latex gloves. The metal device lying on top of the ice machine, a “notorious” source of bacteria, should be suspended, handle up, on — but not touching — the adjacent wall. In the baking area, Burns observes that the kitchen’s only microwave, which is used to heat up desserts, is spattered inside. And there’s a little spooge underneath the housing on one of the Kitchenaid mixers. The Sheraton’s final grade: 89 — four points higher than the previous score. The general manager is disappointed. “Our personal goal here is always 90 or better,” says Robert Burnetti. Burns reassures him, “You ain’t off very much.” The Sheraton higher-ups receive the information in the educational spirit in which it was intended. LaDue volunteers, “It’s good for me — from a professional standpoint — to have this, to have somebody who goes through to inspect every little detail.” But not every restaurateur is so agreeable. Burns says some get so angry they refuse to sign
PASS OR FAIL?
The Vermont Department of Health’s inspection is based on a 44-item checklist. Thirteen of these items are considered “critical” and address areas where there is a high likelihood of illness if left uncorrected. Appropriately, these critical items are weighed heavier in our analysis. The remaining 31 “non-critical” items measure construction and overall cleanliness. Totaled, all 44 checklist items add up to a perfect score of 100.

We’re protecting the restaurant, too, in a way, if you stop to think about it. When it comes down to liability, if they make someone sick, they’re the one who’s going to get zapped. AL BURNS, SANITARIAN SUPERVISOR, VT. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
the form. “They look at us as a policeman rather than a person to help them,” he laments. “We try really hard to work with them all the time, to get things done peaceably.” Language problems come up occasionally — especially at Chinese restaurants, which are among the lowest-scoring eateries in Vermont. When the proprietors can’t understand him, “I go around and point at things,” Burns says. In one case, a complaint came in alleging that one of the cooks was bleeding all over the work table. “I inspected him, and he did have a cut on his arm; I could see that it had been dripping,” Burns recalls. “I actually pulled a glove out, showed it to him, and told him to put it on.” Band-Aids? Not without a glove or finger cot. “There’s no better way to spread a staph infection,” Burns notes. “Plus, we’ve had complaints from
people finding them in food.” Slip-ups in the kitchen come in all varieties, from hygienic lapses to contaminated equipment. And corrections can be costly, especially in the water and sewer departments. Getting bad news from Burns, especially when you’re operating on a paper-thin profit margin, can bring out the worst in people. In some parts of the state, restaurant owners let each other know by phone when an inspector is in the area. There’s also a lot of “joking” about bribery, Burns concedes. Years ago, when he was in the field, some Vermont restaurant owners who hailed from New Jersey followed Burns out to the car and asked him the price of the inspection. “I told them in Vermont there was no fee, and they got their license and that was it. I don’t know . . . if they were trying to bribe me.” Just because it happens in
New York City, “the world has this concept that every place is like that,” Burns continues. “That really aggravates my people. They’ll speak up and tell the person. I just tell them they don’t have enough money to bribe me. My price would be umpteen billion dollars, and then I’d quit the next day. So they wouldn’t get anything for the money.” Burns is a dedicated public servant. He also practices what he preaches — at home. He and his wife keep a clean kitchen in South Burlington, regularly sanitize the sink and wash every cantaloupe they consume in a weak chlorine solution. Although he never eats sushi and likes his beef well done, Burns does eat out often. He says he doesn’t avoid many local restaurants, even if their scores aren’t stellar. Just don’t seat him at a table by the kitchen. >

Although the bizarrely charismatic Flavor Flav is currently the king of lowbrow reality TV, he’s also a founding member of
Public Enemy,
one of the
most important and influential acts in hip-hop history. Alongside politically savvy mike master Chuck D, the band provided a necessary corrective to safe ’n’ sterile ’80s pop. PE’s sonically inventive tracks spoke directly to struggling black communities, championing activism and revolutionary thought. Their defining statement, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, took aim at the powers that be with sample-heavy cuts littered with provocative social messages. They’ll preach their urban gospel at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Monday. XCLAN, The BaNNed and Kendo the Almost Famous also appear.

Winooski’s Monkey House gets its activism on this Thursday with a benefit for the Vermont Workers’ Center featuring “peace poet” and singer-songwriter David Rovics. Also appearing are Sweet Justice & the Wildcat Strikers, a band featuring members of the VWC. Rovics has been championed as “the musical version of PBS — Burlington’s jazz that is, if PBS had more cojones,” by The Lone Star Iconoclast, a guitar hero Nicholas progressive magazine based in our Commander-in-Chief’s homeCassarino is in the town of Crawford, Texas.

EXPERIMENTAL AGENTS Fans of “out-sounds,” rejoice — local avant-garde musician Greg Davis is bringing another experimental show to Green Door Studio on 20 Howard St. in Burlington on Sunday, March 11. This particular performance features Jason Kahn and Jon Mueller, two improvisational percussionists currently on tour in support of their recent collaborative CD, Supershells. Kahn, a sound and visual artist who makes his home in Zurich, Switzerland, incorporates real-time electronic manipulation into his sets. He’s collaborated with numerous artists, and his drawing and sound installations have been exhibited at galleries around the world. Word is, he’ll perform using analog synth and sundry percussion for the Burlington show. Mueller, who began playing drums at age 15, has studied jazz, film and creative writing. In addition to his musical activities, he also pens the occasional novella. Like Kahn, Mueller has collaborated with countless experimentally minded bands and artists, including Pele and ex-Swans banshee Jarboe. I’ve listened to Supershells several times, and have heard a completely different record with each play-through. Not sure what that bodes for Sunday’s performance, but chances are it, too, will be unique. The all-ages event takes place at 8 p.m. and costs $5. For more info on the show, visit www.AutumnRecords.net/burlington.
THAT’S LIFE Last weekend, I got to see the first episode of Showtime network’s “This American Life,” the TV translation of Ira Glass’ syndicated radio program of the same name. The boob-tube version doesn’t officially air until the end of the month, but I caught it early through the miracle of cable-on-demand. Why am I mentioning it here? Well, you may recall that local indie rockers Ghosts of Pasha were filmed for the series last year. TAL specializes in quirky, real-life stories, and GOP certainly had a tale to tell regarding a bizarre performance in the Big Apple. You’ve probably heard about it by now, but here’s a quick summary: On April 10, 2005, GOP were pranked by a “guerrilla theater” troupe called Improv Everywhere. The band was set to play a Sunday night gig at the Mercury Lounge, which seemed destined to be a non-event. That is, until 30 IE “agents” arrived, decked in homemade GOP gear and mouthing all the words to the songs. Suffice it to say, the dudes onstage got caught up in the moment, and truly had their “Best Gig Ever.” Well, until they found out it was all a farce, anyway. I don’t want to spoil it, but I will say the band’s segment on TAL is extremely well put together and beyond entertaining. You get lots of face time with GOP members Chris Partyka and Milo Finch, who come across as articulate and thoughtful individuals, despite the soul-crushing letdown they experienced. If you don’t already have Showtime (which means you’re also missing “Weeds”), you might wanna get on it before “This American Life” debuts on March 22 at 10:30 p.m. Trust me, it’s worth it.

reviewthis NOWHERE FOUND, BLEED LIKE ME
CLASS CLOWN, LIKE A WAVE
(Self-released, CD)
Vermont has its fair share of heavy acts; many are excellent, others not so stellar. Either way, you gotta admire the balls it takes to play this kind of music in an area that clearly favors jammier fare. Milton’s Nowhere Found are a solid, if somewhat unoriginal, quartet whose new disc, Bleed Like Me, is brawny enough to win over fans of dude-rock bands such as Godsmack, but probably won’t impress the technical-metal set. NF’s lineup comprises singer Jayson Argento, guitarist Steve Maas, drummer Josh Castonguay and bassist Chris Tipper. Each of the instrumentalists is proficient, but they don’t display much in the way of inventiveness. Argento’s vocals are melodic, which is rare in today’s scream-happy aggro music. All the tunes on the CD are mid-tempo rockers, with little distinction in rhythm and arrangement. The guitars are broad and crunchy, the bass suitably bottom-heavy. The production is crisp but barebones, which has a tendency to highlight both the band’s merits and its faults. Lyrically, NF reflect the angst of rural maledom, with plenty of references to rage, misery and emotional isolation. Opener “Bleed Like Me” is full of accusatory sentiment, but its vagueness is tiresome. “You say I’m wrong, well that’s OK / I never listen to a word you say / So don’t even bother, I’m not gonna try / To find the truth buried in your lies,” Argento sings over a simplistic riff. Who or what, exactly, has fed this guy’s resentment? Guess it’ll remain a mystery. “Deadly Sight” is built on a slow, grinding riff and well-defined percussion. The chorus mixes things up a bit with a couple of meaty chord changes, but then it’s back to the central figure, which loses power through sheer repetition. On the other hand, the song seems to be about a robotic killing machine, which is frickin’ cool, bros. The pace picks up a bit with the volatile “Drown,” while “Facedown” utilizes a hypnotic, minor-key bass line to create a palpable sense of dread. “I’m only happy when you’re facedown / another page of history,” Argento sings on the chorus. It’s not entirely clear what that means, but I’m fine with not knowing. With a little more practice and a dose of finesse, Nowhere Found could run with the big dogs of loud rock. Keep those amps fired up, dudes. CASEY REA

(Self-released, CD)
Rutland’s punk-pop outfit Class Clown seem like they’re on the cusp of something big. The band has already claimed victory over 50,000 other contestants in the 2004 VH1/School of Rock Battle of the Bands; household-name status may not be far off. VH1 viewership appeal is not a barometer I personally use to gauge quality, but then again, I’m convinced your average skateboarder should trash his entire CD collection and just pick up Lightning Bolt’s Wonderful Rainbow. How you react to that statement is a good indicator of whether you’ll love or hate Class Clown’s latest, Like a Wave. Simply put, if you’ve ever chipped a tooth in the mosh pit at a Warped Tour, or you wear your baseball cap slightly cocked, this is your jam. “The Good Die Young” ushers in the album with crunchy guitar stabs that form a double helix with a second, more intricate chord progression. Like Green Day, Class Clown feature a lead singer who sounds like he’s battling a full-blown sinus infection. You can’t blame the guy, as most other pop-punk vocalists have a similar delivery. But it may be a deal breaker for some listeners. Class Clown are proficient instrumentalists who know how to keep things tight. “Rain Song” — no, it’s not a Zeppelin cover — kicks off with guitar arpeggios and acoustic strumming, which are anchored by an insistent bass line. Unfortunately, the tune taps a children’s song for lyrical inspiration. “Rain, rain, don’t go away, I enjoy your company / It’s the cloudiest I’ve seen it; it’s like it knows that I am leaving / But spring showers bring these May flowers that lead into the sun,” Jeremy Sicotte sings. “Bring Me Down” provides the opportunity for a spirited round of Count the Lyrical Clichés. The song contains several wince-worthy lines, such as, “You pick me up when I’m feeling down / You give me hope when I feel like there’s no one around / You never bring me down, and I’m asking you to save me now.” As is the case with most of Like a Wave’s tracks, “I Won’t Say” kicks off with about 10 seconds of interesting guitar, but quickly devolves into derivative, pop-punk power chords. Axe man Matt Ward introduces some Edge-like tones later in the tune, but it’s all too fleeting to be truly satisfying. Like a Wave won’t garner accolades for innovation, but today’s mainstream music fan isn’t exactly looking to be challenged. Class Clown’s impending move to Los Angeles will likely bring them a larger audience, and allow them to further hone their craft. You’ll have one last chance to throw some elbows at their sendoff at the Higher Ground Ballroom on Saturday, March 24. JOSH LACLAIR

catcher in the wry Between sets that compete with traffic noise, every street busker dreams of making it big, but few actually rise to international fame. Folk master Peter Mulvey made good in 2000 after years of Boston-based subway singing. Now he fields a rep as a top-notch songsmith of tunes with bitingly funny, meaningful lyrics. His new album, The Knuckleball Suite, has characteristics of its namesake — an intentionally unpredictable baseball pitch. Expect a line-up that pairs a jangly pop number about impermanence with a country waltz for a war president that morphs into a plea for peace. Before Mulvey steps up to the plate, rising local folk star Anaïs Mitchell shines with original tunes from her new disk The Brightness. Peter Mulvey

scene@ RARE BOOK ROAD SHOW
BROWNELL LIBRARY, ESSEX JUNCTION, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 7 P.M.
pHoTo: maTTHew THorsen
When my sister and I were kids, we used to thumb through The Novels of Balzac, a 32-volume collection that sat on our family’s piano. We weren’t fans of the 19th-century French novelist — to this day, neither of us has ever read one of those dusty tomes. It was the books themselves that attracted us: the flaking, yellowed pages, the blackand-white illustrations, and the stamp inside the front cover that read, “This is from the Picard Library.” We pretended our family owned a major library somewhere out West. When I heard that the rare book road show was coming to Essex Junction, I dug out a book from that set, as well as another oldie on my shelves: an eighth printing of James Joyce’s Ulysses from 1926. I doubted either had much value, but brought them anyway. Most of the dozen or so bibliophiles in attendance had done the same. Our presenters — Kathy Roberts from Kathy’s Books in Burlington, Deb Barnum from Bygone Books in Shelburne, and Marie Tedford of Mountain Reverie in Underhill Center — are members of the Vermont Antiquarian Booksellers Association. The organization of 50 rare and used book dealers has lost four members in four months, victims of the Internet. Our hosts spent much of their time outlining the benefits and perils — mostly the latter — of buying online, especially via eBay. “When you get into older books,” Barnum said, “most people don’t know what they’re talking about.” As evidence, she displayed a “rare” 1887 Italian prayer book with an “ivory” cover, which looked more like plastic. The book, purchased online, was described as in “fine” condition. It was frayed with a yellow, stained cover. “This is not fine,” she snorted. Tedford then displayed examples of collectible “ephemera” — letters, postcards, ledgers, business cards — from her personal collection, including an old KKK magazine called The Kourier. “The ones that show photos of actual cross burnings are the most valuable,” she chirped. At the end of the hour, we each got a chance to get our books appraised. I was surprised to learn that my Ulysses could fetch $750 to $850 online. The Balzac? Bupkes. KEN PICARD

Pinning down someone’s identity can be a tricky business, and sometimes it’s hard to tell which hat dug Nap’s wearing. The self-taught Burlington illustrator, who goes by a lower-case moniker, is known for his greeting cards with brutally candid catchphrases. But he’s also a prolific oil painter, cartoonist, poet and performance artist. In his new one-man show, My Imaginary Girlfriend, Nap caps his noggin with nearly 20 different types of headgear. Among other characters, he portrays protagonist Bob Klink, a quirky guy dealing with a relationship for the first time after years of no-strings-attached dating. Nap designed the set, but theatergoers won’t see any of his signature lettering or drawings in the show. He insists, “I am the artwork in this piece.� ‘My IMagInary gIrlfrIend’

FEAR FACTOR If you feel more stressed out than you did even a few years ago, don’t worry: You’re not alone. According to Dr. Paul Foxman, the psychologist who directs the Burlington-based Center for Anxiety Disorders, the number of people who suffer from serious panic attacks and debilitating phobias has increased, owing to factors such as media saturation and the physiologic effects of more TV and Internet “screen time.” The solution? Everybody’s different, but tailored self-help methods such as meditation, exercise and playtime can help sufferers deal with overwhelming emotions. Foxman autographs copies of his newly revamped volume Dancing With Fear: Controlling Stress and Creating a Life Beyond Panic and Anxiety and explains how to just relax. Paul Foxman

sweet success When seasonal temperatures cooperate, cold nights and warm days cause maple sap to rise rapidly in February and March, spelling good news for pipeline-checking, bucket-hauling farmers. But what are the optimal conditions for keeping a sugarbush in good shape year-round? Eighth-generation maple-syrup maker Burr Morse explains how sustainable land management benefits the production of nature’s tastiest pancake topping at a talk organized by the Stowe Land Trust. Emphasizing common-sense care for the trees that make Vermont’s maple industry possible, Morse taps into his family’s 200-year history on their East Montpelier farm and connects conservation to local livelihoods and a bustling national business enterprise. ‘Tales from the Sugar Shack’

The stories that I tell myself though interesting are often only mist and arise out of my undisciplined mind. Having said that, what I really, really like is the energy of potential. The unlimitedness of emptiness. And writing short stories. dallen, 55, l, #104107 PASSIONATE MUSICIAN/LOVER OF LIVE i think of myself as a passionate, real, caring individual who may be quiet at first, but when comfortable, can carry a conversation with the best of them. i love life and feel very fortunate to have experienced all that i have to this day. bassguy1981, 25, l, #104102 COUNTRY LIVING OFF THE GRID I enjoy being outside as much as possible, whether it be working or playing.

IRREGULAR NOT DEFECTIVE Prefer to make my own adventures than to watch a “reality” show. Reading, music, endurance sports, fermenting stuff and eating well occupy much of my free time. Things I value in a relationship... humor, honesty, being true to ourselves, and interesting conversation about topics very big to banter about the weather. I’m pretty easy going, and seek the same demeanor. Zombiewoof, 36, l, #104075
NEED SOME MOUTH-TO-MOUTH? I like really fem women and would prefer to hang out with a blond hair, blue eyed lover who can hold a conversation. Sex would be great but it’s more about having someone to grab wings with at Hooters, a beer at a barbeque or pick up a game of racquetball. If this is you let’s play. firefighter4u, 36, l, #102593

Unplugged!
Mistress
Maeve
Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I have a problem concerning my husband’s best friend that I hope you can help me take care of discreetly. They have been best friends since grade school, and I would hate to see my husband lose his best friend over this. I’ve been married to my husband for three years, and we were together for two years before that. Nearly the entire time, his best friend has been coming on to me. It started out with just jokes and flirting, most of the time right in front of my husband, who would just laugh it off because his friend has always been known as the “class clown.” But, recently, he seems more serious in his advances. He’s even made comments about what would have happened if he had “met me first.” When I look uncomfortable, he’s quick to make a joke and smooth things over. My husband would be devastated to learn that his best friend is really trying to make a move on me. I just want him to drop this nonsense. How would you handle this situation? Thanks, Not Laughing Dear NL, Well, my dear, I wouldn’t have to handle this situation, because I would have nipped it in the bud long ago. You need to deal with this guy immediately. It sounds like his behavior has escalated over the years, and you must put a stop to it before it goes any further. I know you want to protect your husband and their friendship, but I assure you — he’s no friend to your husband. You need to think about keeping your relationship with your husband healthy, open and honest — keeping secrets only erodes your connection. Have a talk with your hubby and explain that while he may think his best friend is joking around, you are convinced otherwise. Tell him that you feel uncomfortable, and relay recent comments his “best friend” has made to you privately. See what your husband has to say. Given their friendship, he may want to deal with the situation man to man, or he may suggest that you put your foot down next time it happens. Either way, you need your husband’s support on this, and I wouldn’t recommend approaching the friend before you speak with hubby — it could blow the situation wide open, leaving your husband wondering why he was kept in the dark. And one more thing — be ready for a less-than-supportive initial response from your husband. You’re right — he will be devastated, and he might not want to believe his best friend is after his wife. Be kind, but also be steadfast. You’ve put up with this long enough, and it’s time for hubby to back you up.
BFF,
MM

sales reps
CBLFS
We are currently looking for 2-3 motivated sales reps to sell cable TV and high-speed Internet services door to door in the Burlington area. We are contracted by the cable company to fulfill their sales numbers. If you enjoy being outside, talking to people, and making a lot of money not working a lot of hours, this is the job for you. Our current reps average over $1000/week working 20-25 hours. However, these hours need to be the most productive hours, late afternoon and Saturdays when people are home.

Our offer is very aggressive, one free month of service with no obligation and no money up front. Pay is based on performance: $55/standard cable sale, $65/digital cable sale, $20/Internet sale, $1.25/door knocked. For example, if you knock on 60 doors, make 2 standard cable sales (very easy to do) in a day, you earn $185. We only need 2-3 more reps and these positions will not last long.
