LET’S DANCE! No sun today, not yet. Good thing — I don’t think the plants or chickens could handle it, they need to be weaned slowly from the clouds and rain... BUT Let’s Dance! This morning I waded myself out to the field, reluctantly, wearing clean and dry jeans for the first time in about a week. I just had to see, see if maybe, just maybe... Past Adam’s raspberries, swimming amongst the jewelweed and nettles, over floating bits of irrigation pipes and lost bales of hay, I saw in the distance of the horizon our new hoophouse, which had made its way across two fields and along the border of a hedgerow to the edge of Adam’s strawberries (which are, as he reported today, miraculously setting fruit). I finally made it to our field, on top of a little rise (and how very clearly vital these little rises have become!) and saw the PEAS! and then the BEETS! and ONIONS! They’re A-OK, a little muddy but standing tall — highriding! Also, okay... LETTUCE, SPINACH, BACHELOR BUTTONS, RADISHES, DAIKON, NAPA, and many rows of greens! ALL INTACT! So, onto some more of Vermont spring....! Posted May 22 by RD Open Heart Farm is on the floodplain in Burlington’s Intervale.

“Our experience with your company gave us faith that we were not only getting the lowest possible rate, but also the benefit of a professional, knowledgeable staff. I recommend your services to everyone I know!” — Stu MacDonald, South Burlington
Elisabeth Crean’s critical review of Lost Nation Theater’s production of Laughing Wild [“Send Out the Clowns,” May 17] missed the mark completely! She clearly dislikes playwright Christopher Durang. I disagree with her review — except that she admits the audience enjoyed the show. I laughed so hard, I nearly had an asthma attack. Crean said the 20-year-old play is dated. I say that it is frightening how much things remain the same. That is what is so ironic! You laugh from the irony, the discomfort and the craziness. The social and political issues of the late ’80s, skewered in the play, are still with us today. Crean expresses dismay that Durang didn’t even bother to name the characters, referring to them as Woman and Man. But, that is exactly the point! These two characters, both single and feeling isolated, are desperately trying to fit in somewhere, somehow. This is even truer today in our isolating world of email, cellphones and the Internet. Both actors (Maura O’Brien & Daniel Sherman) do a great

job of making you feel for them and their self-proclaimed neuroses — hitting a little too close to home sometimes. I strongly recommend that you go to Montpelier and see this play during the final week. I think you will find the play incredibly thought-provoking and laughout-loud funny. The play’s title is based on a quote from playwright Samuel Beckett, “Laughing wild, amid severest woe.” And that is exactly what you will experience. Sue Zeller MONTPELIER
BROADER VISTAS
Thank you for your coverage of one of Vermont’s best resources: AmeriCorps VISTAs! I have to put forth a correction, though, and possibly help expand the view Cathy Resmer offered in the last Seven Days [“Nonprofit Motives,” May 17]. First, VT VISTAs earn approximately $833 per month, not every two weeks, as Resmer wrote. And this varies by region, since the stipend is set at 5 percent above local poverty levels. I thought it was unfortunate, though, that Resmer only
highlighted the work of Burlington VISTAs. I hired a great VISTA last August here in Northfield — Marty Makowski — and he has colleagues across the state. The Norwich University ServiceLearning Program obtained his position through Vermont Campus Compact, whose work — increasing the level of civic engagement on college campuses — is supported by VISTAs in Northfield, Montpelier, Castleton, St. Johnsbury and Middlebury, as well as Burlington.
And much more work in affordable housing, agencies on aging, public and private schools, state and city parks and nonprofits is performed by AmeriCorps state or national members or part-time Education Award members. The organizations and VISTAs Resmer wrote about are wonderful, but there are programs all across the state that utilize VISTAs and AmeriCorps members and communities that are profoundly impacted by them as well. I would hate to miss the opportunity to shine some light on all of their work, and heartily thank them for their contributions to Vermont. As Cara Gleason said, VISTAs really are “sort of everywhere.” Michelle Barber NORTHFIELD
Barber is the Service-Learning Coordinator at Norwich University. TILL WHEN?
I feel privileged to participate in The Burlington Area Community Gardens. I was dismayed by a negative letter to the editor on May 17 from disgruntled gardener Chris Beneke. Mr. Beneke is upset about the tilling practices for BACG. Perhaps he is unaware of the complexities driving the tilling policies. For instance, some BACG sites are leased land; some of the leases mandate tilling. Another issue is plot turnover;
abandoned plots have thick weeds, and are tilled for the incoming gardener. BACG staff understand that frequent tilling can damage soil. They are actively seeking alternatives (discing, no-till, weed control education). Some gardens already have no-till areas. Next, I take issue with Mr. Beneke’s depiction of Lisa Coven of Burlington Parks and Rec. The suggestion that she is some hard-headed power-monger is laughable. Lisa is a soft-spoken, sweet and highly dedicated woman. She has the best interests of the gardeners at heart, and does everything she can to make gardening accessible and enjoyable for all. Finally, a clarification of the role of the BACG Advisory Board. We are BACG participants, giving feedback to Parks and Rec about the needs of the gardeners. Mr. Beneke mentions the board giving itself “perks and parties.” The board members are eligible for a discount plot, but many of us (including Lisa Coven and myself) pay the full price anyway. Parties? We organize a spring potluck/silent auction for all the BACG participants, with auction proceeds lowering plot fees for low-income participants. Susie Socks BURLINGTON

One day after Governor Douglas vetoed a bill that would have offered legal protections to transgender and transsexual Vermonters, about 60 of the measure’s supporters — many of them affiliated with the activist coalition Vermont TransAction — gathered to protest. Some held signs with slogans such as “Shame on Douglas the Discriminator,” and “Another native Vermonter who believes in respect and equality for all.” Representative Bill Lippert (D-Hinesburg), who introduced the bill in the House last year, was one of several politicians present; others included Representative Jason Lorber (D-Burlington), John Tracy (D-Burlington)

and Queen City Mayor Bob Kiss. They noted that the legislation had tripartisan support and passed easily through both the House and the Senate, though with too few votes to override the veto. Jes Kraus, a transgender attorney who testified in favor of the bill, told the crowd he was “horribly confused and disgusted” with Douglas’ decision. After the protest was over, he suggested a new bumper sticker. “How about, ‘Jim = Jobs,’” he said, “with a little asterisk that says, ‘unless you’re trans.’”

WHEN: Thursday, May 18 WHERE: Burlington City Hall Park WHO: Americans for Prosperity Foundation THEIR BEEF: Federal earmarks
Out-of-control deficit spending by Congress came under fire May 18 as the “Ending Earmarks Express Tour” swung through Burlington’s City Hall Park. Its target: the Firehouse Center for the Visual Arts. The Earmarks Express, a nationwide campaign by the nonpartisan group, Americans for Prosperity Foundation of Washington, D.C., is aimed at eliminating the “egregious earmarks” lawmakers sneak into bills behind closed doors, without public discussion or debate. Michelle Korsmo, executive vice president of the APF, said she “appreciates fine art” and assumes the Firehouse Gallery provides a valuable community service. She’s less keen, though, on how this particular project managed to receive $900,000 in federal earmarks between 2001 and 2003, including one that
was attached to a housing and urban development bill. Korsmo pointed out that this was just one example of the skyrocketing number of federal earmarks, which climbed from 2749 in 1996 to 15,877 in 2005. While the smattering of people attending the press conference seemed sympathetic to the cause, several were skeptical of including the Firehouse in the same breath as such questionable pet projects as the $1.7 million “Bridge to Nowhere” in Alaska ($223 million); the study of shiitake mushroom cultivation in Missouri ($1.7 million); and the grant to “Keep Terrorism Out of Bingo Halls” in Kentucky ($36,300). Said one observer afterwards about extinguishing runaway spending by turning the hoses on the Firehouse: “Smart idea — stupid example.” KEN PICARD

the Iraq War, etc.
Torrential rains didn’t dampen the cheers, or jeers, of some 100 soggy demonstrators who marched May 19 outside the Inn at Essex to protest the arrival of Laura Bush. The First Lady was in Vermont as part of a big-ticket fundraiser for Republican congressional hopeful Martha Rainville. Tickets for the GOP shindig ranged in price from the economy-class luncheon, at $200 per couple, to the platinum-club meet-and-greet, at $5000 per couple. The protesters, some of whom traveled from as far away as Hardwick, Greensboro and Rutland, carried waterlogged signs that read, “Impeach,” “Axis of Arrogance, Deceit and Perfidy” and “The Right lie, the poor die.” Among them were several combat veterans who oppose the war in Iraq, including 87-yearold Ed Everts of Charlotte, who served five years in the Pacific during World War II. Calling Rainville “flipfloppy on a number of issues,” Everts said he thinks “military people should stick to the military.” The protest was peaceful, orderly and largely uneventful. However, as Mrs. Bush’s motorcade sped past, one protester with the parody group “Billionaires for Bush” stepped off the curb to display his sign that read, “Liberate the corporations — Tax the poor,” and was promptly thrown to the ground by police. The protester, Brendan O’Neill of Burlington, wasn’t injured but was later cited for disorderly conduct. He said that he’d have to “talk to Laura and see what we can do about this.”

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
Selection of Commencement Speaker Stirs Protest BY KEVIN J. KELLEY
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury College officials must have assumed they were ensuring a protest-free graduation ceremony when they chose Ann Veneman, director of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), to deliver the May 28 commencement address. The college’s announcement last month emphasized that UNICEF ranks as the world’s largest provider of vaccines to poor countries. Veneman’s agency also helps provide food and clean water to impoverished children, promotes educational parity for girls, and strives to protect children from violence, exploitation and AIDS, Middlebury further noted. In addition, the college pointed out, Veneman was the first woman to serve as head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Surely, with these credentials, there would be no repetition of last year’s brouhaha over the selection of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as speaker. Wrong. A recent broadside signed by 18 faculty members denounced the decision to honor Veneman as “inconsistent with the values of the college and with the values of most Vermonters.” The professors
called attention to her work in the 1990s as a Washington lobbyist for Dole Foods, a global agribusiness accused of exploiting farm workers and befouling the environment in developing countries. Around the same time, Veneman also served as a board member of Calgene, the first company to mass-market a genetically engineered food product — the “Flavr Savr” tomato. “Those who applaud the college’s efforts to support local farms, for example, will find her long association with agribusiness and genetically modified foods troubling, to say the least,” the protesting faculty wrote in Middlebury’s student newspaper. Vermont’s congressional delegation told Veneman that her treatment of dairy farmers was an example of the Bush administration’s “farmer-unfriendly” policies, the professors noted. During her 2001-04 tenure as USDA secretary, Veneman blocked a regulation prohibiting road construction in national forests, adds Christopher McGrory Klyza, a political science and environmental studies professor and one of the protest letter’s signers. Some students are equally irked. They may stage a low-key event prior to the commencement
ceremony “to affirm the values that Middlebury College claims to represent,” says Mike Ives, a student scheduled to graduate next February. As the Bush administration’s first agriculture secretary, Veneman “worked directly against small farmers and people struggling to produce sustainable agriculture,” says Tara Vanacore, a Middlebury senior who grew up in Bridport. Vanacore says she’s offended that someone “so opposed to the interests of most Vermont farmers” will be the featured speaker at her graduation ceremony. Ives notes Vermont’s status as “one of the states with the most organized resistance to genetically modified foods.” Inviting Veneman to Middlebury represents “a slap in the face to Vermonters who have been working on this issue,” he says. Veneman, 56, grew up on a family peach farm in California, according to her official biography. The faculty protestors point out, however, that the peach farm was on the outskirts of Modesto, an agribusiness hub with a population of more than 200,000. “She stands for corporate farming despite the small-town image she’s marketed under,” says Ives. m

Burlington Telecom Stages Grand Opening...Finally BY CATHY RESMER

BURLINGTON — After years of waiting and months of agonizing 11th-hour delays, Burlington Telecom has arrived. The city’s ground-breaking municipal telecommunications department will hold a grand opening at City Hall on May 25 from 4-6 p.m. B.T. representatives will be on hand to answer questions and sign people up for the city’s newest utility — “triple-play� phone, cable TV and broadband Internet service. Richard Donnelly, B.T. director of sales and marketing, says that 350 homes have already been connected, and the department is now ready and eager to add more. But only in the South End — if you live outside of B.T.’s initial service area, you may have to wait a few more months for the wires to reach you. B.T. says they’ll connect the entire city by the end of 2007. A detailed map of their rollout plans can be found at www.burlingtontele com.net. Waiting has been the name of the game since B.T.’s inception. Fed up with the rising cost of Adelphia’s cable TV service, voters first authorized the city to create a municipally owned fiber-to-thehome network in 1997. But getting it up and running took longer than expected. Adelphia was one obstacle — the cable company, which is now being sold to Comcast Corp., tried unsuccessfully last year to block B.T.’s Certificate of Public Good. After a public forum sponsored by the Public Service Board last March, Lisa Birmingham, Adelphia’s director of Government Affairs, warned that the city was biting off more than it could chew by trying to provide cable. “This is a difficult business,� she told Seven Days. “This is not like turning on the power.� Her warning proved prescient. B.T. should have launched in January, Donnelly says, but it ended up doing some last-minute wrangling with cable TV stations. Unlike traditional cable companies, which deliver content via coaxial cables, B.T. is delivering channels via fiber cables, which have a much higher carrying capacity. But that technological distinction spoiled B.T.’s attempt to purchase channels through a cooperative, and B.T. ended up having to work out contracts with individual channels and media groups such as Viacom.
Donnelly says that some companies used the opportunity to try to force B.T. to accept changes to its channel lineup. MTV, for example, wanted all 23 of its channels in B.T.’s standard service. But Donnelly had already marketed some of those channels in its premium package. “It would have blown apart our original model,� he complains. With the help of a consultant, B.T. was able to work out a deal with most of its content providers, partly by purchasing expensive encrypting devices to prevent users from illegally downloading digital content onto their computers. But it’s still negotiating with the Rainbow Media Group, which owns American Movie Classics. And it will take a while to add RETN, Channel 16, which broadcasts local school
B.T. should have launched in January, but it ended up doing some last-minute wrangling with cable TV stations. board meetings; B.T. has to physically run a cable to the studio in Colchester. B.T. users will also be disappointed to learn that the network won’t support their TiVos. Donnelly says B.T.’s own digital recorders are superior to TiVo, but they’re not available yet. However, B.T.’s service is complete for the most part, Donnelly notes. Brian Gamelin says he’s happy with it. The St. Paul Street resident saw a flier for B.T. and signed up this winter. He uses it for his phone and his cable TV service. He estimates that he’s saving $40 to $50 a month over what he used to pay to Adelphia and Verizon. Asked why he switched, he says simply, “Cheaper prices, better people.� Mary Ann Samuels of Locust Terrace is another satisfied customer. She switched her household to B.T. phone, broadband and cable TV in March because she wanted to use a local service. Samuels says the month before she switched, her Adelphia cable rate nearly doubled. Samuels has gotten two bills from B.T. since signing up, but says it’s hard to tell if she’s saving much, since she upgraded from a dial-up connection to broadband. Still, she says, “It seems like it’s cheaper.� Would she would recommend B.T. to others? “Yes,� Samuels answers. “Definitely.� m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
President Who?
T
he Barre Auditorium was jumping Saturday morning, and there wasn’t a basketball in sight! Instead, the hardwood of the venerable old Vermont arena was crammed with Republican Party delegates from across the Green Mountains. Spirits were high and The Mad Bavarian Brass Band set a very upbeat tempo. What a brilliant move! Hiring a German beer-hall band to fill in the gaps between Republican political speeches was a master stroke. Kudos to GOP State Chairman Jim Barnett, who organized the state convention and first-ever pre-primary “straw poll” on statewide candidates. Don’t tell anyone, but the Republican Party is alive and well in Vermont, and Saturday’s well-attended bash in Barre is proof beyond any reasonable doubt. The leader of this “rebel” Vermont movement, Gov. Jim Douglas, is a solid favorite for reelection in November. At occasions such as these, Douglas, a man who supported Richard Nixon while a 1960s college student and supports George W. Bush today, steps out of his middle-ofthe-road, all-things-to-all-people persona. He gets in a few licks at his political opposition while playing standup comic to his Republican base. One hears Douglas lines he never utters at the weekly gubernatorial pressers. “In just one week during the past session,” said the Guv, “Democrats came out with proposals for four new taxes. We feel the pinch now! Imagine what we’d be up against with an increased beer tax, snack tax, property transfer tax, payroll tax, income tax and, of course, the Democrats’ favorite — the gas tax!” The audience roared! Vermont’s most powerful Republican tossed out the red meat, so to speak. He called the current Democratic leadership at the Statehouse under Speaker Gaye Symington “out of touch with working Vermonters.” That’s as daring a jab as suggesting the Republican leadership in the executive branch is out of touch with multimillionaire second-home owners and shoppingcenter developers. At a time when Vermonters should be focusing on his “agenda of affordability,” said Gov. Jimbo, “The liberals in the legislature have their own agenda, an agenda that advances far-left ideologies through far-out legislation.” It felt a little like “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno as governor. And the funniest governor in Vermont history had the audience howling when he mentioned how the Democrats “found time this year to take up a dog ear-cropping bill!” And while focusing on doggie ears, he said, the loonie-lefties had “ignored our pleas for civil confinement for dangerous, untreated, habitual sexual offenders.” Ouch! That one lit up the scoreboard and had everyone on their feet. Nice shot, Jimbo! Vermont GOP chairman Jim Barnett told “Inside Track” the Saturday convention had been “an outstanding event.” Mad Dog said it demonstrated “a lot of energy” in the Republican Party, and the youngest
state chairman in the country said the Vermont GOP is “very strong.” Well, what’s he supposed to say? Understandably, Chairman Barnett wasn’t eager to talk about the two 800-pound gorillas that sat silently at the corners of the auditorium stage, unnoticed and unmentioned, as if they didn’t exist. We’re referring to the the nation’s top Republican, President George W. Bush, and the war in Iraq he launched. Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie only went as far as calling for support “for our troops and families at this very difficult time.” Interesting. Asked about the glaring omission, Mad Dog replied, “This year’s election shouldn’t be confused with presidential standing in the polls.” Of course not. Especially when the approval rating of President Bush is in the low 30s nationally, and down into the high 20s in the Green Mountains of Vermont. We pointed out how happy the distinguished chairman had once been to discuss Mr. Bush’s approval ratings when they were in the 70s. Why no comment now? “I hate to get into hypotheticals,” said Chairman Barnett. Sure he does. Moving along, we asked him about the omission of any discussion at the GOP convention of the GOP-led war in Iraq. Barnett quickly turned it around into a slap at Democrats. “I know,” he said, “they never hesitate on the other side to play politics with national security.” Whoa, he sure has his Republican National Committee talking points down! But, we noted, many Vermonters — Democrats, Independents and Republicans — have had enough with this dishonest, propaganda-driven war. In fact, at Bernie Sanders’ U.S. Senate Campaign kickoff on Friday, the lines that got the crowd leaping out of their seats were about the war. And the loudest cheer of all came when Ol’ Bernardo noted that Vermont’s entire congressional delegation — Leahy, Jeffords and Sanders — got it right back in October of 2002. The only state out of 50. That’s when the Bush Iraq War Resolution slid through the GOP-controlled Congress with only a few members brave enough to stand up as true American patriots and say, “No!” Three years later, we all know they were right, don’t we? “I don’t know if they were right or not,” countered Barnett. “History will tell.” Well, history often does, doesn’t it? But that doesn’t do anyone who comes along afterwards much good. Unfortunately, history also tells us that humans keep repeating the deadly mistakes of their predecessors. But one thing is clear: Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Richard Tarrant isn’t waiting any longer for history to tell him whether the Iraq invasion was the right thing to do. Read on . . .

Iraq a Mistake? — After Saturday’s Republican convention broke up, yours truly and another reporter conducted an impromptu interview with Richie Rich outside the Barre Aud. Yes, he is talking to yours truly this week. Like old pals are we. As we noted earlier, the Vermont GOP conducted its convention as if the Iraq War didn’t exist. Tarrant was asked about the omission, and the fact that one day earlier, Mr. Sanders had called for a U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq within one year. Every poll shows that Vermonters strongly oppose the Iraq War. At first, Richie deflected the question and gave his standard 25-word answer. “Our soldiers have done a great job, deposed a dictator. They’ve had free elections and now they have a government,” he said. “It’s time for the Iraqi Army to do the heavy lifting.” But, knowing what we know now, we asked, would Tarrant say that going to war in Iraq was “a mistake” in the first place? The answer was a shockeroo! Richie was suddenly off his “talking points” and speaking from the heart. “I wasn’t there then,” answered the Republican U.S. Senate frontrunner, “but in retrospect, knowing what we know now, nobody would have gone into that war.” Doesn’t get much clearer than that, folks. A check of the press clips indicates Candidate Tarrant has never said anything like it before. In the past he’s always wiggled out, noting he “wasn’t in Congress” when the Bush administration launched the invasion and “didn’t have enough information.” In 2002, the entire Vermont congressional delegation got it right, knowing what they knew then. And one thing they knew was that Iraq had no connection whatsoever to the 9/11 attack. Interesting. Wonder how GOP Chairman Barnett will handle the calls from the RNC about a certain, wellfunded Republican U.S. Senate candidate who thinks the Bush war is a big mistake? Stay tuned. Tarrant Goes Socialist? — The press was also interested in a hot Tarrant-generated topic that Richie managed to leave out of his convention speech entirely! Mr. High-Scoring SmallCollege Hoopster from the 1960s (it wasn’t all Woodstock and Haight-Ashbury, folks) never mentioned a word to the GOP delegates about the rather bold and unusual new policy position he’s touting in his latest round of 30-second TV commercials showing around Vermont ad nauseum. Tarrant, a conservative, prolife Republican who’s donated generously to help the current GOP regime, now wants “Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Peter Freyne, email freyne@sevendaysvt.com.
Medicare to cover all the uninsured! Medicare is the acclaimed help-the-poor-old-folks healthcare system that was instituted by the liberal Democrats during the “Great Society” days of the 1960s. To the right-wing, which likes Tarrant’s money and his politics, Medicare is one of the big-government, socialist programs that destroys free enterprise. The Bush-Cheney team is currently driving Medicare recipients and state officials mad with a complicated new prescriptiondrug package. Coming from a guy who accuses Bernie Sanders of promoting a single-payer system, Tarrant’s call to expand Medicare is confusing a lot of folks. Has he lost his marbles? After all, if Sanders had run the same commercial calling for a Medicare expansion, wouldn’t Tarrant attack him for advocating socialized medicine like the commie-pinko he really is? Perhaps confusion itself is the Tarrant goal, and this will one day be remembered as a brilliant political tactic. Will today’s “stupid” be tomorrow’s “brilliant?” One reporter noted that Tarrant left out of his convention speech any mention of his unusual — some say radical — proposal to have Medicare cover America’s millions of uninsured citizens. It’s a pro-Big Government proposal, and Tarrant had been addressing an anti-Big Government audience. “I forget exactly what I said about health care,” replied Tarrant. “What did I say? I don’t remember.” There was an awkward moment of silence. Then he remembered. “I know what I said. I said it’s not about insurance.” He said the real issue is “the waste and inefficiency in the system.” Nice try. But the reporter didn’t give up. She noted Tarrant’s unusual stance on Medicare is potentially controversial with the Republican Party? Correct? “Probably,” Tarrant replied. And you don’t talk about it? “No,” said Tarrant. “I talk about the inefficiency.” Great. It would be nice if he watched his own TV commercials, too, eh? The New Martha? — We’re still getting used to the new Martha Rainville look. As everyone recalls, she looked great in U.S. government-issue desert warfare fatigues with the combat boots and general bars on her collar. Now Martha’s wearing outfits she’s never worn before and, unless elected in November, will never wear again. They look like some D.C. political fashion consultant’s idea — outfits that show her feminine side while reminding everyone of her military past. On Saturday she had a stripe of stars running down the front. At the convention, the exNational Guard general came across as someone trying hard to be the new, improved Martha Rainville. She began her remarks by attempting to end any linger-
ing doubts about her Republican Party loyalty, frequently invoking the name of Ronald Reagan, her “political hero.” Rainville also mentioned she had been recruited by “influential leaders” of the Democratic Party and had “politely declined” their invitation. “Their principles,” said Martha, “are simply not my principles.” Marvelous Martha was playing to the base, and it showed. She even tried to take some wind out of her more conservative primary challenger’s sails when she told the convention she opposes the move in Congress to expand the “permanent wilderness” area of the Green Mountain National Forest by 47,000 acres. The move is backed by Vermont’s entire delegation in Washington. “I do not believe that a Congress 500 miles away in Washington should forever lock up any more of this resource so important to Vermonters,” said Rainville to loud applause. Informed of her remarks about the forest expansion, Sen. Leahy’s chief of staff Ed Pagano responded quickly and clearly. Rainville, said Mr. Pagano, “is ham-handedly trying to remove this as a primary issue with Mark Shepard, but all that she is making clear is that, once again, she is out of touch with Vermonters. She knows little about this process and the issues, and it shows. Once again, she’s cutting and pasting from talking points produced 500 miles away at Bush campaign headquarters in Washington.” In fact, noted Big Ed, “The overwhelming majority of comments the Forest Service received from Vermonters urged more wilderness than the Forest Service or the delegation have recommended.” Hey, you don’t think St. Patrick was one of those “influential” Democratic leaders who once upon a time tried to recruit a certain female National Guard general as a congressional candidate, do you?

BY CECIL ADAMS
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
Dear Cecil, My aunt recently died. When I asked about the funeral details, I was told that there would be no graveside service because my aunt had donated her body to science. Nobody seemed to know the details, so I turn to you. How do you donate your body to science? Who wants it and what do they do with it? When whoever got your body is done with it, how do they dispose of it? Codaflex, via email
Celebrate Spring at Paque e’s Visit our new,
Good for your aunt, and for anybody else who agrees to become a body or organ donor. (I confess I signed the organ-donor form on the back of my driver’s license only recently — just never got around to it before.) Body donation is vital to medical training and research, and it’s not like you’ll have any further use for the old hat rack once you ship out. That said, donation isn’t a pretty business and abuses do occur, so you may as well know the facts before you decide. Most donated bodies go to medical schools. The how-to is pretty straightforward. Googling “willed body program� plus your state or poking around the website of your favorite med school will turn up detailed information and often a donor form. The institution may send you a wallet card to notify authorities of its claim at the time of death. Be sure to discuss the matter with your family and doctor so they’ll know what to do (and won’t freak) when the time comes. What do med schools do with cadavers? Pretty much what you’d expect — dissection, surgery practice, etc. — but a few details might not have occurred to you. Those of weak stomach may want to fast-forward through the following, mainly gleaned from Mary Roach’s Stiff (2003) and Kenneth Iserson’s Death to Dust (1994):

• Topsoil $30 cu. yd.
• Cadaver research in automobile crash tests contributed to the development and testing of such devices as lap-shoulder belts, air bags, dashboard padding and safer windshields. Most current crash-testing uses dummies, but some experts question whether the dummies accurately reproduce the damage done to a real human head, for instance. • Corpses are used to test military equipment such as body armor. Testing footwear designed to protect against land mines has been controversial — apparently some people are offended that a body donated to science would be blown up rather than patiently sliced into tiny pieces. • Medical-instrument firms find corpses helpful for instructing doctors in the use of new devices or procedures; the training process involves learning from mistakes, which works out better when the subject is already dead. Artificial joints are often tested on cadavers; meanwhile,
pharmaceutical companies pick up the odd gland for hormone extraction and the like. • Then there’s the occasional special project. Surely few will forget Gunther von Hagens’s Body Worlds, in which the human cadaver is repurposed as bizarro educational display. “Straight Dopeâ€? readers may also remember Pierre Barbet, the French surgeon who researched crucifixion techniques by nailing up amputated arms in various ways (through the wrist, through the palm, etc.) to see whether the nails could support a person’s weight. Most schools don’t allow you to donate your body for a specific purpose — you give them the body and they decide how to use it. The school can refuse to take a body, depending on condition, e.g., extensive burns or obesity; cause of death, such as infectious disease; or other factors such as autopsy or amputation spoiling the body for dissection purposes. After use (usually two to three years following donation), the remains are typically cremated. You can usually request that the ashes be returned to your family; otherwise, they may be buried in a university plot (sometimes in a common grave), generally at an annual commemoration ceremony. The prototype legislation governing body and organ donation in the U.S. is the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, but details vary from state to state. While payment for body parts intended for transplantation or therapy is illegal, “processing feesâ€? are permitted, and body-part trafficking for research and education is largely unregulated. This has led to some abuse: The head of the willed-body program at the University of California, Irvine was fired in 1999 for allegedly selling spines on the black market, and the director of UCLA’s program was arrested on similar charges in 2004. In a recent exposĂŠ, USA Today claimed there was a “lucrative, underground business driven by growing demand for human bones and tissueâ€? — you’ll recall that an unscrupulous embalmer pilfered the bones of Alistair Cooke. I suspect more stringent regulation, no doubt accompanied by bar codes and parts tracking, isn’t far down the road. CECIL ADAMS

oming up to the Sweetwaters corner, I was hailed by a man who looked about 30, standing amidst a boisterous group of people. Most of my fares this night had been on the rowdy side, it being Cinco de Mayo. Why this Mexican holiday is so popular in the heart of Yankee country is easy to explain: One more excuse to drink copiously and go nuts. I pulled to the side of the road and quickly did a head count. I won’t squeeze more than six people into my mid-size taxicab: two in the front next to me; four in the back. Even this number may violate some regulation or another, but I’ve never seen a police officer cite a cabbie for overloading, so I don’t worry about it. Six folks indeed comprised this group
“Nope, that’s cool,” I said, though it really wasn’t. My middle-aged nervous system can only take so much stimulation, but I chose not to rein in Rhonda — clearly a force of nature — and to go with the flow until we reached the hotel. As we cruised onto the highway, Rhonda spoke into her seatmate’s ear in a not-very-whispery stage whisper, “Hey, Charlie, do you think I have perky boobs?” That query definitely caught my attention, particularly since the answer was a resounding “yes.” Charlie said, “Jeez, Rhonda, why don’t you ask something like that to your husband? C’mon, girl, seriously.” “Well, Charlie,” she pouted, becoming kittenish, “I want to know what you think.”

In the shotgun seat, the woman insisted on sitting on the lap of the guy, which he agreed to reluctantly, it seemed to me. “Could you take us to the Courtyard Marriott?” one of the men in the back yelled over the din of talk and laughter. “That’s the one just off Exit 12, right?” I asked. It seems there’s now about a half-dozen permutations of Marriott hotels in the area, and I’m constantly mixing them up. “Yup, I believe so,” the man replied, leaning forward in his seat and speaking into my ear so he wouldn’t have to shout. “Near the Wal-Mart, I guess.” I pulled away from the curb and toward the highway. The woman in the front seat could not, or would not, sit still. Evidently, she was happy, bouncy and intoxicated and wanting all her friends to know everything she was thinking and feeling. “Awesome dancing in this town,” she announced in the middle of her ongoing lap dance. “St. Johnsbury, like, sucks. We need to come here every weekend!” The man who was acting as her seat said, “Rhonda, you don’t need to scream. We can all hear you, fer chrissakes.” “Oh, is that so?” she replied, giggling merrily as she turned to face me. “What about you, Mr. Cabbie? Can you hear me, fer chrissakes?” We were stopped at a campus traffic light at the crest of the Main Street hill, and I turned to look at Rhonda. In a word, the woman was gorgeous — slim, with curly blonde hair, green eyes and snug clothes accentuating a curvaceous body.

Curses, Foiled Again Federal authorities said that Gary E. Peel, 62, a lawyer in Madison County, Ill., had an affair with a 16-year-old girl who was his sister-in-law, then 32 years later tried to use sexually explicit photographs of the girl to leverage his ex-wife out of her share of their divorce settlement. Instead, he was arrested and indicted for possessing child pornography — the photos of the ex-sister-in-law.

woman were cited in connection with an incident that resulted in a fake penis being microwaved at a convenience store in McKeesport. According to Police Chief Joseph Pero, Vincent Bostic, 31, had filled a fake penis with his urine that his friend, Leslye Creighton, 41, planned to use to pass a drug test she was taking to get a job. Creighton asked a store clerk at the Get Go gas and convenience store to microwave the device so the urine inside would be body temperature and fool those giving the drug test. Police couldn’t explain why or how Creighton chose to use a device that mimics the male sex organ to pass her drug test. Defense attorney William Difenderfer insisted there’s no proof his clients had any criminal intent to damage the microwave — the basis for the criminal mischief charge against them — but said that they want to settle the case, in part by reimbursing the store for the microwave, which cannot be used for food because bodily fluids were cooked inside it. “I’m certainly not saying it wasn’t a stupid thing to do,” Difenderfer said, “but there’s a lot of bizarre stuff that we don’t always have a remedy for in the crimes code.”

Contra Costa County investigators said that Ernest Watts, 63, and Debra Watts, 52, ran the brothel for a year in an apartment, located a few hundred feet from the police station, and used the Internet to solicit clients. As part of their probation, the couple, who recently moved to Las Vegas, are prohibited from working in any business related to prostitution.
Police in Chesterton, Ind., reported that Michael Morris, 17, suffered a broken leg after he asked a friend to hit him with his car “for fun.” The friend, Stephen Domonkos, 18, who told police that they had done the same thing on other occasions, said that this time he was driving about 25 mph when he hit Morris in the parking lot of a restaurant where Domonkos works, shattering the car’s windshield. From his hospital bed, Morris told a reporter, “I won’t do this no more.”

nyone who’s ever seen them from afar, drifting over the landscape, knows hot-air balloons can seem otherworldly. But anyone who’s ever flown, helped fill or gone for a ride in one knows that it takes a lot of earthly labor to get them airborne. Commercial balloons must be able to safely lift at least 2000 pounds — gondola, burner, propane tanks and passengers — hundreds of feet in the air. And, just like Paul Stumpf automobiles, they are subject to regular Pilot/Owner, Stumpf Balloons maintenance checks. Balloon mechanic Paul Stumpf has Andover been building and repairing these buoyant baubles for more than three decades. He ran his own FAA-certified balloon repair station in Rhode Island, then moved to Vermont six years ago, partly in response to a downturn in ballooning as a leisure sport. Stumpf calls himself “a one-man band” — he works by himself, and is one of just six full-time balloon maintenance people in the U.S. As the operator of the state’s only year-round repair station, he caters to 70 customers: pilots from New England, including Vermont’s dozen or so hot-air aviators, and those who pass through regularly on their way to different balloon festivals. Upcoming air carnivals include the Vermont Balloon and Music Festival in Essex Junction on the weekend of June 2, the Quechee Balloon Festival two weeks later and, in July, the Stoweflake Hot Air Balloon Festival. Stumpf has a snug workshop on the top floor of an old hay barn on the Andover-Weston Road. Lining the walls are four industrial sewing machines, each of which is calibrated to a specific style of stitch. Scores of colorful posters and photos of airborne ovoids cover the sloping ceilings. SEVEN DAYS: To what extent are you regulated by the FAA? PAUL STUMPF: Essentially, the FAA requires you to establish a system for what you do. As a balloon repair station, you have to write a manual . . .The same [procedure is] required . . .for Boeing working on jetliners. Once you’ve got that approved, you have to do physical training. The usual way is that you work for another repair station for at least six months, full time. SD: Who did you work with? PS: [laughs] I did it back when there were so few balloon repair stations, there was nobody that I could go work for for six months. I got into it sort of backwards. I actually built a balloon when I was in high school. SD: Oh, really? Wow. PS: When you build your own aircraft, you automatically get a repairman’s certificate to maintain your aircraft . . . I basically said, OK, I’ve built five of these things, and I’ve been doing this for five or six years. I
know everything about building balloons and how they’re made, so would you accept that as my training? SD: When did you start repairing balloons as a business? PS: Luckily for me, I got involved in the mid-’80s. I rode the wave [of ballooning as a hobby], and got all of these people trained how to fly. They became my customers. I also started a mail-order business of balloon equipment . . . for instance, a padded cover for [the propane tank], in case you bump up against it on a landing. SD: And the mail-order catalog is a year-round thing? PS: Yeah, because there’s always somebody flying. It was originally stuff that I built, like these big storage bags that the balloons go in, and bags for the burners. And then I got sidelined into carabiners that balloonists use, and helium tanks and books. Whatever I felt balloonists would like and find useful. SD: What got you into balloons in the first place?
PS: The art teacher at my high school decided to build his own balloon. He had the art students helping him paint designs on the balloon fabric, and we actually helped him weave a basket. And I thought, “Oh, this is cool.” So I’m, like, 16, and saying, “Hey Mom, I’m going to build a balloon.” SD: And your parents were OK with that? PS: Well, they were like, “Oh, OK, sure.” Then the next thing they knew there were big, 20-foot things of wicker and rolls of fabric arriving on trucks, and I was borrowing my friend’s mother’s sewing machine. I don’t think they really believed it until we were ready to go and fill it up. SD: Is it hard to make repairs that are effective and also look good? I’d imagine how a balloon looks is pretty important to its owner. PS: Yeah, it’s an aesthetic thing. There is an incredible amount of finesse in doing a safe balloon patch that looks nice when it’s done, and has the proper stitch length, thread and material. SD: How often do balloons need to be inspected? PS: They’re treated the same as an airplane or a helicopter. They have an inspection either every calendar year or every hundred hours of use. SD: How do holes happen? Do the seams just give way? PS: Mostly they get burned from the burners, or torn on trees or other sharp things on the ground, like a fence or a lightpost. You can put balloons into some pretty tight spots. The fabric is pretty amazingly durable. SD: Does the fabric get brittle? PS: As it gets older, yes. Fabric strength is one of the primary things that we check each year. We look for the worst fabric in the balloon, up in the top where it gets the most sun and the most heat. All of the owners hate it. It’s like going to the dentist. We put these awful clamps on.
SD: So basically, you’re trying to tear the fabric? PS: We pull it to a minimum strength requirement, which certifies it for another 100 hours. It’s called a tensile test. You pull to a certain number of pounds of tensile strength, and, if it passes that, it’s good for another year . . . If somebody comes in and it tears at 20 pounds, it’s not necessarily the end of the balloon. Maybe you can put a new top in, or maybe it was just one of the colors, because every color responds differently. You work within the constraints of the pattern of the balloon — specific gores, or panels. If a brand-new balloon got in an accident, I could reproduce the panels exactly and sew them in so even an experienced balloonist would never know that it had been repaired. SD: Balloons can come in complicated shapes. Do you have a favorite shape to work on, or any that you dread doing? PS: I hate special-shape balloons [laughs]. Just because the hole can be seen doesn’t mean that you can get to it with a sewing machine. Internal structures hold the shape, and I have to disassemble those to get out to all of the appendages, where the little legs and things are. So the shape balloons are very tedious to work on. SD: They look cool, though. PS: They look great, and I have nothing but praise for the people who build them. They’re amazing. SD: Do you still build your own balloons? PS: I’ve been really trying for about five years to make a balloon that would be able to lift myself and one other person, and only weigh about 65 or 70 pounds. I’m big into mountain biking, and the ultimate goal is to have everything retrievable by two bikes. So that’s my pet project. m

O “2006 FIFA World Cup� All major console and portable systems and PC $29.99 ($59.99 for Xbox 360) Rated E for Everyone.
ne billion people can’t be wrong. Misguided, maybe, but when it comes to the FIFA World Cup finals, football is football and not soccer. And that’s that. The NFL’s bowl might be super, but with only 135 million viewers, Americans might consider calling their favorite fall sport “passball� when they consider how many pairs of eyeballs will focus on the football World Cup finals in June. Ringing up those kinds of numbers puts FIFA at the top of the televised sports stacks. And it will make EA Sports’ “2006 FIFA World Cup� game a huge seller in those parts of the world where they can’t figure out why Americans love burly men in tight uniforms pounding each other more than fleet, athletic men racing across green fields like antelope on the veldt. Playing the FIFA video games, you do wonder why the U.S. just doesn’t get soccer, that is, football. The style of play blends the fast playmaking of basketball and hockey with the pageantry of baseball and the dramatic color of the kind of football played with a lopsided pigskin ball.

excels at the sort of pacing that makes it easy to enjoy on the television screen. Constant motion keeps you interested, while complex patterns of possibility unfold like storm clouds blowing across the sky. Even better, you don’t have to have a dictionary of rules in your head to follow along and enjoy the action. Your team kicks the ball around and tries to get it in the other guy’s goal. You can’t knock someone down from behind, and you can’t use your hands. Easy. Compare this to the EA sports juggernaut “Madden Football.� No matter how much you love the NFL, it takes a lot of practice to figure out how to control the on-screen action and what it takes to dominate the game. That is to say, “Madden� may be the best-selling videogame sports franchise of all time, but most of us just desperately press buttons on the joystick and hope for the best. Soccer, excuse me, football, has an elegant simplicity in the real world that translates well to the videogame realm. I’m sure that those FIFA fans who actually go through the motions of recruiting players, building teams, determining on-field match-ups and calling plays on the fly would disagree. But for the rest of us, smacking that little black-and-white ball around on a bright green field feels more like a classic arcade game than a sport. And maybe that’s why Americans still don’t get soccer the way the rest of the world does. Name another team sport that requires so little equipment — just a ball — and relies so much on the physical skill of the individual players. Perhaps it will take video games to share the joy of the most democratic and the most elite sport in the world. Who’s It For: With enough depth for the stats-drenched sports nerd, and as easy to pick up and play as almost any game, “2006 FIFA World Cup� shoots and scores a gooooooooooal! If You Like This, Try That: “Super Mario Strikers� takes the simple joys of soccer and makes them weird by importing them into the candy-coated mushroom land of Mario. Best Part: You might not hear much about the football finesse of teams from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. But with 125 teams represented in the game, you can show the world a thing or two by managing Fiji through to the final round. m

Smoked Out Could the feds snuff out a Vermonter’s medical marijuana?
hayne Higgins flinches and shields his eyes from the sun as though it were a laser beam cutting through his skull. He sits helplessly in his motorized wheelchair and waits, in visible pain, as two friends hastily STORY assemble a makeshift ramp so he can roll KEN into the house and out of the daylight. PICARD Higgins is pale, gaunt and skeletal, with hollow, sunken eyes and limbs that IMAGE are withered and curled from the ravages JAY of advanced multiple sclerosis. He appears ERICSON drained by the 10-minute ordeal of getting into the home of his friends “Willy� and “Tessa� (not their real names). Willy is Higgins’ medical advocate and registered marijuana caregiver. About once a week, Higgins makes the laborious, 40minute trip from his home at the Starr Farm Nursing Center in Burlington to this house in rural Chittenden County so he can smoke medical marijuana. Higgins, 45, was diagnosed with MS in 1998 after suffering a seizure. Since then, he’s lost his eyesight and most of his mobility. Higgins speaks in slow, slurred sentences and fades in and out of lucidity. His spaced-out demeanor is only partly

due to the MS, Willy explains; mostly, it’s a result of the 14 to 17 prescription drugs Higgins takes every day to control his pain, seizures and muscle spasms. Higgins is one of 29 Vermonters registered with the Department of Public Safety to legally consume cannabis under the state’s medical marijuana law, which took effect in October 2004. But unlike other medical marijuana patients, Higgins isn’t allowed to consume cannabis in his own home. Starr Farm’s administrators have told him that they could lose their Medicaid certification and federal funding if they allow him to possess or use a drug the U.S. government considers illegal. Last summer, a Starr Farm staff member found a marijuana cigarette in Higgins’ belongings and called the police. Although he had a Marijuana Registry ID card, the Burlington officer confiscated the joint; no charges were filed. Since then, the nursing home’s administrator has told Higgins that he may not keep marijuana in his private room or smoke it anywhere on the grounds. Willy calls the nursing home’s position unjust, unreasonable and absurd. “They say

they can’t allow Shayne to use medical marijuana because they receive federal funding,� Willy says. “Yet they’re using a federal van and a federal driver to bring him here.� Willy also points to Starr Farm’s own “Resident Admission Agreement,� which states that each resident “has a right to be free of interference, coercion, discrimination or reprisal from the facility in exercising his or her rights.� Higgins appears to be the only medical marijuana patient in Vermont caught in this cloudy legal area, but his case raises a number of larger questions: Does federal law always trump state law when it comes to the use of medical marijuana? Can the U.S. government use the threat of prosecution and financial penalties to enforce federal policies that are incongruous with state laws? And, more generally, do nursing home residents have the same privacy rights and protection from unreasonable search and seizure as people who live in private residences? Once Higgins is inside the house, Willy goes into a bedroom, where two nearly mature pot plants are growing in a closet,
hits. “It calms my nerves.� Several minutes later, Tessa brings him a sandwich. Higgins’ appetite is much better after he’s smoked, she says. Before his arrival, Tessa expressed concern that her friend has lost a lot of weight, especially after a recent bout with bedsores. Several weeks ago, the swelling in his leg got so bad, they feared it might have to be amputated. Willy retired from IBM after 30 years as a technician. He became Higgins’ marijuana caregiver about six months ago after going through a state-mandated criminal-background check. Willy isn’t paid for his work; in fact, it costs him $100 a year to be listed on the marijuana registry. He also covers the other expenses of growing Higgins’ pot. Willy has learned a lot about MS and cannabis’ unique ability to relieve its symptoms, as well as many of the side effects of the pharmaceuticals commonly used to treat the disease. Much of what Willy knows he learned from his friend, Mark Tucci, a marijuana patient who lives in Manchester. Tucci, 49, has had MS for about 12 years

bathed in the orange glow of an expensive lighting system. By law, Willy can only grow two mature plants and one immature plant at a time, and can keep no more than 2 ounces of dried, smokeable weed on hand. One of the plants, about 3 feet tall, is thick, green and bushy. Willy shakes his head at the other one, which is shorter and scrawnier. “This one’s called Jack Hair. It’s piss-poor and has no medicinal effect. I’ll probably have to destroy it,� he says. Next, Willy opens a locked cabinet where he stores a vial of dried buds harvested from an earlier plant. Back in the living room, he hands the vial to Tessa, who packs Higgins a pipe full of the spongy, green bud and helps him light it. Higgins draws a deep puff and starts coughing slowly. Minutes later, the effects are visible. Higgins’ curled fingers unclench from the armrests of the wheelchair and his taut frame relaxes, like a twisted rubber band returning to its natural shape. He reclines his head, closes his eyes for a moment, and manages a brief smile. “I’d smoke at least once a day if I could,� Higgins says slowly, putting the pipe down after two
and grows his own herb. Although the state registry is confidential, Tucci has met four or five other marijuana patients in Vermont, and occasionally advises them on proper growing and harvesting techniques. The Vermont law didn’t create a legal means for patients to obtain marijuana seeds or plants. Basically, patients are on their own, and must buy what they need on the black market. Tucci admits it was hard for him to visit Higgins — it was like looking in the mirror and seeing himself from several years ago. “I was like Shayne — all stoned, ripped, narc-ed out, laying in a ball and sleeping all the time,� Tucci says. “Don’t get me wrong. I still have MS. But I don’t have a catheter in me. I know what day it is. I’m raising a family. I’m getting out and doing stuff around the house. I couldn’t do any of that before.� Unlike Higgins, Tucci speaks in a clear and coherent voice. He can walk — albeit with a crutch — and is raising two teenaged boys on his own, though he can no longer work. He’s reduced his daily meds from 17 to three. And he credits >> 28A

most of those improvements to his use of medical marijuana. Tucci smokes about five joints a day, or about 2 ounces each month. He’s figured out which strain works best to control his muscle spasms and which one manages his pain. In fact, Tucci has nearly finished writing a guidebook for other medical marijuana patients in Vermont on how to grow medical cannabis. Tucci asserts that Higgins could make comparable improvements if he were allowed to smoke every day instead of just once a week. “If that man could have a constant supply [of cannabinoids] in his body, you give him three or four months and you could wean him off all that other crap,” he says. “That poor sonofabitch just lays in bed and suffers. Who can live like that?” Rachael Parker, administrator of the Starr Farm Nursing Center, refused repeated requests by Seven Days to be interviewed for this story. However, shortly before press time she issued the following statement: “We care about our resident and will continue efforts to assist him in managing his health needs. However, we must abide by state and federal laws with regard to this matter.” Last August, after Burlington police seized Higgins’ marijuana, the nursing home also refused comment but issued a statement to the press: “A registry representative informed us that because our facility receives federal funds, and federal law prohibits the possession and use of marijuana, its possession and use in our facility is against the law, and therefore is strictly prohibited.” But Department of Public Safety Commissioner Kerry Sleeper denies that his office or the registry was ever queried on this issue, or offered an opinion on whether a nursing home’s federal funding could be compromised by a resident’s medical marijuana use. Senator Jim Leddy (D–Chittenden), who chairs the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, says that although DPS initially opposed the medical marijuana bill, Kerry has since made it “very clear” that his agency would not violate the spirit or intent of the law. While Leddy recognizes that the Burlington police officer was put in awkward position because he was told that a crime was being committed, “That’s where the nursing home exercised exceptionally poor judgment. “We did not anticipate, nor did we ever think, that state or federal drug agents would come in and raid an individual, let alone a nursing home, and bust them,” Leddy continues. “How the nursing home is handling this appears to be somewhat irresponsible and, frankly, inhumane.” Jackie Majoros is director of Vermont’s Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Project, which is part of Vermont Legal Aid. She advocates for people who are homebound or living in nursing homes, residential homes or assisted-living facilities. Majoros asserts that Starr Farm is Higgins’ legal residence and he should be allowed to use medical marijuana in the privacy of his own room. “It’s hard for us to believe that federal prosecutors would prosecute someone like Mr. Higgins, who’s struggling to manage symptoms of a debilitating disease,” Majoros says, “or that they would choose to prosecute the nursing home for allowing him to get that relief in his own home.” When this issue first arose last summer, Majoros says she tried to contact administrators at other federally funded facilities around the country to see
California, it’s estimated that 200,000 people use cannabis for medicinal reasons. Hermes says he’s never heard of a nursing home being threatened with the loss of its federal funding or certification. Nevertheless, “There’s a lot of fear out there,” he says. This is particularly true among low-income patients who live in federally subsidized housing. Some landlords who accept Section 8 housing vouchers are also wary, fearing federal asset-forfeiture laws if they condone medical pot growing or distribution on their property. “It’s something that the federal government has the ability to scrutinize,” Hermes adds. “The drug laws are extremely draconian about what conduct is acceptable in subsidized housing.” Back in Vermont, Higgins is

how they handle this dilemma. She didn’t get very far. “There wasn’t a whole lot of willingness to talk about it,” Majoros admits. “They’re all doing it below the radar.” The divide between the states and the feds on medical marijuana use has only grown wider in the last year. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that California’s medical marijuana law, which was the first in the nation, does not protect cannabis patients, growers or distributors from prosecution under federal law. And in April, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a statement denying that there are any medical benefits whatsoever from using marijuana. But there’s been no evidence thus far that the feds are pursuing federally funded health-care facilities that condone medical cannabis use, according to Kris Hermes, legal campaign director of Americans for Safe Access. The Oakland, California-based nonprofit tracks legal issues on the medical marijuana front. In
in a “holding pattern,” according to Majoros. The Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is researching his case and considering a lawsuit. According to Vermont ACLU director Allen Gilbert, plenty of case law covers the privacy rights of hospital patients, but very little addresses the privacy rights of nursing home residents. In the meantime, Higgins says he’d be happy if Starr Farm just allowed him to smoke discreetly outside, the way other Starr Farm residents are allowed to smoke tobacco. But Higgins also says he’d prefer to move to another facility altogether, where, he says, he could get a shower more than once a week, the residents are closer to his own age, and the administration “isn’t paranoid” about him smoking pot. Still, Higgins’ marijuana caregiver recognizes that moving him into another facility may not solve his problems. “We don’t know that yet,” Willy admits. “If they receive federal funding, we’ll have to play this game all over again.” m

A PANTS DISCOGRAPHY The Pants, 1994
Classic Fit
The shot heard ’round Burlington. DIY adventurers “Turkey Sandwich” (Tom Lawson) and “Pistol Stamen” (Paul Jaffe) struck home-recording gold with this set. With its concise pop-rock songcraft and avant-garde leanings, The Pants heralded the arrival of a potent songwriting partnership. The album kicks off with “None of That,” a bare-bones tune featuring start-stop strums and spiky lead guitar. When Lawson sang, “I’m 24 makin’ minimum wage / turn 25 get a 50-cent raise,” area wage-slaves swooned. “Fat Pig” sounds like a vaudeville two-step performed underwater. The creaky vocals might as well have been recorded in a telephone booth, but somehow it all works. The punky “Vermont” is another treasure. The song chronicles Lawson’s disastrously short-lived West Coast residency. “When I go back to Vermont, I’ll have all the girls I want,” he sings. Is it too late to make this the state song? “Overboard” features backing vocals by another Burlington star, singer-songwriter Amanda Gustafson. The track is quite romantic, considering its lo-fi sound. “Sometimes I’m not a confident man,” Lawson sweetly croons. With tunes this catchy, it’s hard to understand why. The disc wraps up with “I Used to Be,” with crusty vocals by soon-to-be member Hutchins. True to ’90s sensibilities, there’s even a hidden track. The deliciously raw disc boasts a handful of covers, including one by local artist/rocker Jason “Schoolbus” Cooley. The Pants’ debut became a local legend. It wouldn’t be long before the boys were B-town darlings.
Vintage but not distressed, Burlington’s beloved ’90s band THE PANTS roll up their cuffs for one more show

TOM LAWSON, FOREGROUND, AND PAUL JAFFE
Any local music fan over 30 will happily chew your ear about how great the bands were back in their day. Burlington-scene lore is filled with acts that should’ve gone on to bigger things: In the 1980s there were Pinhead, The Decentz, The N-Zones. The ’90s boasted Wide Wail, Chin Ho! and, most significantly, The Pants, whose rise and fall is forever linked to a particularly vital era for Vermont music. What distinguished The Pants from groups of similar vintage? “They were much more daring, musically,” opines local cartoonist and fellow rocker James Kochalka. “And a lot more popular.” The band’s “classic-rock-meets-alt-punk” sound boasted musical intricacies and major hooks. Tunes such as “High Water Mark” and “None of That” are instantly addictive but don’t take the listener’s intelligence for granted. Says filmmaker Bill Simmon, who is making a documentary about the group: “The Pants were catchy — Beatles-catchy. They employed counterpoint, multiple-part harmonies and clever wordplay, usually about something heartbreaking. For me, the soundtrack to the ’90s is The Pants.” The band’s classic lineup comprised chief
songwriter Tom “Tommy Law” Lawson, bassist Eric “Hutch” Hutchins, drummer Neil “Tad Cautious” Cleary and guitarist Paul “Pistol Stamen” Jaffe. Cleary and Lawson currently live in Burlington; Hutchins makes his home in the Big Apple, while Jaffe resides in San Francisco. The far-flung group reunites this week for a hotly anticipated, one-time gig at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington. “It’s kind of like a college reunion for rock band dropouts,” jokes the 37-year-old Hutchins, who now works for a nonprofit organization that teaches chess to inner-city school kids. For ex-members, the concert will undoubtedly stir up some strong emotions. “It was like being in love for the first time,” says Cleary, 34, of his time with the band. He’s since become an in-demand session drummer and an accomplished singer-songwriter. Lawson, 37, currently performs with iconoclastic rockers Activists/Dictators and the experimental duo RECON. He is also a talented visual artist. Rifling through his back pages isn’t easy. “It’s definitely been a roller-coaster,” he says. “It’s not just going back and re-learning the songs. It’s like opening your diary from high school.” Jaffe, also 37, concurs: “It’s a hugely emotional thing,” he says. “Not just seeing and playing with those guys, but coming back to a place where I have the most history in all my life.” Still, he’s looking forward to the show. “It’s not for a paycheck or lost glory,” Jaffe continues. “The only reason to do it is to have a great time.”
guys. We were all born rockers that were very close as friends. We had that ‘reject quality’ that always works so well.” Lawson and Jaffe were particularly tight, having known each other since the late ’80s, when Lawson played in a promising local group called Chainsaws of Babylon. “I saw them and thought they were awesome,” says Jaffe, who now owns a video post-production company. “I had always been into recording, so I offered to help them on that end. It ended up being a really fantastic experience.” After he graduated from UVM in 1991, Jaffe headed to California. Lawson followed shortly after, bandmates in tow. Jaffe had already acclimated to life on the West Coast, but things went less smoothly for his pals. “We were in the complete ’hood,” explains Jaffe. “Those guys moved from Vermont to Oakland, where there are hookers and drive-by shootings.” The band soon buckled under the pressure, and Lawson headed back to the Green Mountains. “I realized that I was done with the whole Chainsaws trajectory,” he explains. “But I knew I was gonna try to put together some kind of group, or even just continue recording, because I had caught the bug pretty bad.” Lawson and Jaffe kept in touch, and when the latter moved back to Burlington in 1993, the two started a project called Pistol & Sandwich. The duo wrote witty, avant-pop tunes a world apart from the gloom of the socalled “grunge era.” They soon caught the ear of old friend Dennis Wygmans, who co-owned
We were all born rockers that were very close as friends. We had that “reject quality” that always works so well. TOM LAWSON The Pants know a thing or two about having a great time. The band bowed out with a raucous performance at Club Toast’s 1998 closing that, for many fans, ranks among the most significant occasions of their lives. The split broke some hearts. “I take full responsibility for the way things ended,” Lawson says. “I really wanted to take it to the next level, but I didn’t think it was happening quickly enough. We were just four guys from Vermont, and I think we were naïve about a lot of things.” But any tensions among the gang have given way to a desire to reconnect. “At a certain point, I felt I really needed to shed that skin,” Lawson says. “But when I look back at it now, I absolutely love The Pants, and I love those
Club Toast with his brother Justin. Dennis, who went on to get a law degree and now lives in New Jersey, describes his enthusiasm: “They had a great sense of irony in their music,” he says. “That’s what attracted me the most.” Wygmans subsequently became their manager. The duo changed its name to The Pants in 1994, and released a self-titled CD that same year. Soon-to-be members Cleary and Hutchins made guest appearances on the disc, which featured glimpses of the smart, quirky songcraft the band would become known for. When Wygmans offered them a gig opening for a loud rock act, a full band was hastily assembled. “We got Hutch first, then Neil,” explains Jaffe. “Afterwards, it was supposed to go back to

being just me and Tom. But the four-piece ended up being so fun, we kept doing it.” “They asked me to play drums for a show,” says Cleary. “And I really liked their songs.” There was just one hitch. “I was dating [exWideWail/current Swale singer-songwriter] Amanda Gustafson, who had previously gone out with Hutch,” he informs. Luckily, the bassist was big about it. “They asked me, ‘Is it all right if we try out Neil?” Hutchins recalls. “And I was like, ‘Um, well . . . He seems like an OK guy.’”
The new, four-legged Pants had chemistry from the start. “Like the best bands, they’d have their squabbles and creative battles,” Gustafson remembers. “But the thing that they had in common was a belief in the healing powers of rock. They got onstage, and they got over the bullshit. They meant a lot to people, because they were like superheroes.” Local musician Jason Cooley claims the band actually changed his life. “Back then I was too shy to go out to any of the shows,” he recalls. “But they were all really friendly, and that’s how I began to get involved. I couldn’t believe that I actually knew these guys. I had never met anybody who could pull off such ambitious stuff.” The Pants’ stage presence exuded both a demure geekiness and rock-star charisma. Jaffe’s bumblebee-striped, scrap-heap guitar was one part of the band’s laid-back, left-of-center look. “I got that at a pawn shop in San Francisco for, like, 60 bucks and a cassette deck,” he reveals. “It was this homemade job that made all sorts of noise. But I loved the neck, so I just put nicer hardware in it.” He’ll be playing the iconic axe at the show this Saturday. Buzz about the band came strong and early. The Pants’ performances — most often at Club Toast — began drawing a variety of attendees, from arty bohemians to gritty rockers. “I always thought that they were destined for bigger and better things,” Wygmans says. “And if they had come around just a couple of years earlier, they probably would’ve gotten a 34A >>

This year saw the birth of the fourpiece lineup. With a slippery rhythm section comprising bassist Hutchins and drummer Cleary, The Pants had truly arrived. “When all is said and done, my ego trip has won,” wails Lawson on opener “What the Fuck Does She Want?” Here, the band’s turn-on-a-dime versatility is in full effect, as they shift from plodding rock to hyperkinetic punk with precise abandon. The dizzyingly catchy “High Water Mark” came as close to a hit as any song ever to come out of Burlington. Acid-jazz heroes Belizbeha even covered the tune, demonstrating that great songwriting knows no genre limitations. Nearly every song on this disc is solid, from the meter-shifting stomp of “For the Love of a Woman” to the low, lonesome waltz of “Wounded.” In between, the 10-ton sing-along “Lawnfire” squats like a rock ’n’ roll gorilla. My favorite tune on Fred Sex is the sweet-and-sour masterpiece “All the Time; Me.” “Message of hope comes crackling through the wire / But my ears are tired,” sings Lawson in the song’s hush-a-bye intro. “Message of hope rides up on a speckled horse / Out of . . . the morgue.” The subsequent rock whirlwind makes romantic desperation sound like a bitchin’ party. The disc wraps up with “Song in Drunk.” The tune perfectly captures the feeling of heavy-hearted inebriation. Lawson scores extra points for using the term “aurora borealis” in a rock number. For many fans, Fred Sex represents the band’s creative peak. Listening again after all these years, it’s tough to argue.
Eat Crow, 1997 The final “official” Pants release showcased the band’s growing songwriting prowess. Engineered by The Zambonis’ Peter Katis — who went on to produce gloomy superstars Interpol — the disc is crisper and cleaner than previous releases. That’s not to say it isn’t adventurous. From the emphatic opening riff of “Cows,” it’s clear the band has perfected its sound. Staggered chords and interlocking melodies are met by vocals that range from tender to balls-out rockin’. “Sometimes” arrives in a sludgy ball of distortion, then eases into ruminative balladry. As a shower of gloriously symmetrical guitars chime in syncopation, Lawson sings of pride in the face of impending breakdown. “I’m just a freak, I’m constantly freaking / I’m just a geek, I’m constantly geeking,” he laments on the band’s ode to insecurity, “Intruder Alert.” With its chugging riffs and whacked-out guitar solo, the tune is a dazzling blend of melody and noise. Disconsolate dirge “Them Stones” serves as the album’s centerpiece. Lawson’s aching acoustic guitar is framed by Jaffe’s gorgeous lead lines. The song also features the record’s most cutting prose. “Sharper than a kitchen knife, but duller than a wet rock,” Lawson sings of a disintegrating relationship. “You gotta learn to live with it or live without life.” “Never Too Late,” and “Lucky in the Sun” are shimmering wonders, while Jaffe’s turn on lead vocals makes “Vibe Crusher” a low-key treasure. This is a beautiful, intricate and heartbreaking album. It’s hard to imagine a finer swan song from one of Vermont’s most gifted bands. CASEY REA

deal and been America’s answer to Radiohead. I believed it then, and I still do. The Pants rank right up there with the best music of the decade, in my book.” The band’s sophomore effort, 1995’s Fred Sex, featured buoyant rock numbers filled with cutting lyrics and sly arrangements. There was also a fair amount of romantic pathos. A slew of local twentysomethings connected strongly to the songs’ emotional honesty. “Tom’s a great songwriter,” says Hutchins. “That was a big part of the appeal.” But as the crowds grew larger, expectations increased. Some of this was due to the band’s affiliation with Phish, whose guitarhero front man Trey Anastasio produced a demo for the group in
for such a belief: “Liz Phair got signed out of her dorm room,” Cleary continues. “But then again, she did send a tape somewhere.” Hutchins believes the band probably rushed things. “It was something we did for fun for a long time,” he explains. “We were fairly popular and had gotten some attention, so it seemed natural to push harder. But none of us were rich, so when we took steps to work less in order to spend more time on the band, there was financial pressure. And that made formerly tolerable personality differences eventually unbearable.” Lawson agrees. “It’s not like we were getting up and practicing all day, sitting in our hotel room and waiting for the deal to come
who will perform with the band at the reunion. Sadly, by the time it was released, Hutchins and Cleary had split. “It was never the same after that,” says Jaffe. “We couldn’t find the magic.”
The Pants haven’t spent subsequent years lamenting what might have been. “At the time I was pretty devastated,” says Hutchins. “But then you realize that it was the kick in the ass to move on in your life and do something better. I have absolutely no regrets.” Neither does Cleary: “I don’t resent anything not happening, because I can’t help but see it as part of my education,” he says. “In some ways, our friendship was a liability. It was like a club; we

1996. Members hoped the association would open certain industry doors. When that didn’t happen, frustration mounted. “We paid for the recording time ourselves, and it was very expensive,” Lawson says. “And I don’t think that tape was circulated as aggressively or positively as it could’ve been. The whole relationship for me was one of disillusionment.” “One of the mistakes we made as an entity was to try to tie it to Trey,” Wygmans says. “I was constantly having to educate people that this was not a hippie band who didn’t deserve respect or credit for their art.” Anastasio could not be reached for comment. From there, the setbacks began to add up. “Maybe we defiantly thought the world was gonna come to us,” says Cleary. “Like, all we needed to do was to play a couple of showcases in New York.” There was some precedent
in,” he says. “We were still taking those 6-hour drives in the middle of the night and going to work the next morning.” Wygmans thinks The Pants might’ve succeeded, if not for industry obstacles. “I knew one major-label A&R executive who really wanted to sign them,” he says. “But management at that label didn’t see it; they didn’t understand.” When The Pants attempted to make a dent regionally, there were more disappointments. “We’d trade shows with bands from other cities,” Jaffe relates. “They’d come up and play to a packed room, and we’d go there and there’d be, like, five people.” In 1997, The Pants’ final album, Eat Crow, arrived. The disc showcases the remarkable interplay between musicians. It also features contributions from auxiliary keyboardist Dan Mazur,
loved hanging out with each other. Maybe we would’ve survived longer if we had approached it as more of a business. But it wouldn’t have been as fun.” Fun will be a huge part of the reunion show, but the band admits to a tiny bit of apprehension. “I’m a little nervous about it,” says Hutchins, who put down his axe when he left the band. They’ll have a week to rehearse. “But I’m playing rock ’n’ roll bass, man. You just listen to the kick drum and play one note at a time — how hard can it be?” Lawson has no idea how things will turn out, at least musically. “Everyone’s pretty anxious at this point,” he says. “It could go either way — we could plug in and say, ‘Hey, no problem,’ or we could be completely fucked. If that’s the case, we’ll call in the Chrome Cowboys to play the songs and we’ll just sing ’em!” m

INTRODUCING 7 Justin Alexander
Mr. Natural
hose who write nature poetry today face a double challenge: Not only is the mode of expression out of date — but the subject is, too. How does one make a reader sigh over a wheat field when so many Americans have STORY never seen one? Is there a way to make a JOHN reader treasure a slice of farm life revealed if FREEMAN they’ve never smelled the stench of actual manure? IMAGE These questions spring to mind while PAULA reading Toward the Distant Island, a handy ROUTLY new selection of poetry by a one-time Vermonter. In spite of his Pulitzer, and the Toward the fact that he has mentored and edited so Distant Island: many Green Mountain poets, Hayden New & Selected Carruth might by fact of his age — he Poems by Hayden Carruth. turns 85 this August — need introduction. Copper Canyon Toward the Distant Island is perfectly Press, 150 pages, shaped to do this. The author’s friend, $17. Copper Canyon Press founder Sam Hamill, has edited and organized the poems chronologically, going light on the haiku and longer poetry to focus on the powerful, early work. This selection reveals that it is nature — not jazz, smoking, mental illness or any other of Carruth’s poetic obsessions — that forms the mulchy backdrop for his work.
T
These are the proper names: Limestone, tufa, coral rag, Clint, beer stone, braystone, Porphyry, gneiss, rhyolite, Ironstone, cairngorm, circle stone, WWW.JESHALI.COM
And so it goes, all the way down the page and onto another one, a perfect rundown of the remnants of Vermont’s volcanic past. Carruth is fond of lists and accretions, and as this one extends it acquires its own exotic rhythm — something almost Biblical. It becomes transcendental, proving that so long as a poem about nature is delivered with authority, some deep, Paleolithic part of us will recognize it. Carruth acquired this authority in childhood. He was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, in 1921, and raised in the country. “I know something about farming and woodcutting and all the other things that country people know about,” he once told an interviewer. “That kind of work has been important to me in my personal life and in my writing, too. I believe in the values of manual labor and labor that is connected with the earth in some way.” Not surprisingly, many of the best poems in Toward the Distant Island are about baling hay, checking on cows in the nighttime, chainsaws, his tough and hardworking one-time Vermont neighbors, and barns. Carruth seems to understand that many of us don’t see a barn unless we’re picking up a Christmas tree, so he’s more than happy to elaborate. “Let me tell how it is inside those barns,” he writes about New England’s quaint landmarks. Warm. Even in dead of winter, even in the dark of night solid with thirty below, thanks

Give a couple new
hope.
to huge bodies breathing heat and grain sacks stuffed under doors and in broken windows, warm, and heaped with reeking, steaming manure, running with urine that reeks even more, the wooden channels and flagged aisles saturated with a century’s excreta. Carruth has always juxtaposed this wild authenticity with the world made by man — the wars and relationship melt-downs, the chaos of existence. As with many writers of his generation, his education was interrupted by World War II, in which he participated as a cryptographer, spending two years in Italy. He is of the genera-
tion to his relationships, even if he describes them with the language of a park ranger. “This is the season of mud and trash,” he writes in “Birthday Cake,” throwing a pall over the poem. Broken limbs and crushed biers / from the winter storms, wetness and rust. It calls to mind Vermont’s roadside detritus after the snow has melted. Carruth’s own softening in the last decade has been a thing to behold. After years working in poverty and relative obscurity — agoraphobia kept him out of the public eye until he was nearly 60 — Carruth had earned a reputation as a classic crank. And yet, his recent poems are spangled with gratitude for late love, and air kisses to fellow poets. “Jean,
Natural wildness seems to calm him — it reinforces the vast sadness of temporality, a theme that echoes mournfully through his work.

tion that knew war was not an aberration. The experience certainly marked his verse. Unlike so many poets today, Carruth knows his poems won’t stop the guns of August. In his classic antiwar poem, “On Being Asked to Write a Poem Against the War in Vietnam” he writes, I wrote one against / Algeria that nightmare / and another against / Korea and another / against the one / I was in. Then he adds: And not one / breath was restored / to one / shattered throat / mans womans or childs / not one not / one. Although the poem was written three decades ago, it remains painfully relevant — Carruth read it when he last came to Vermont, in 2002, to participate in a series of readings organized in his honor. In recent years, Carruth has taken to addressing the President directly, and Hamill has included several of these poems, probably to show that Carruth may have moved even deeper into the woods, but by no means has he dropped out altogether. Still, it is natural wildness — not political folly — which brings out the best in Carruth. The earth turns his poetry very still and silent, and brings Carruth back to the vast sadness of temporality. In “The Oldest Killed Lake in North America,” he writes, One night the water lay so deathly still / that the factories’ constellated lights on the other shore, / the mills and refineries, / made gleaming wires / across the surface, a great fallen and silent / harp. As he has aged, Carruth has directed more of his lyric atten-
Jean of the blonde ringlets,” he writes wolfishly of Jean Valentine. “I am the pride and joy of grass,” he writes in another poem. Aside from the current administration, few things get him down. It appears that late in life, the big mystery has given Carruth something he never expected from it — grace, and a reprieve. If these poems teach us anything, it’s that the unexpected gifts matter most. Springtime, 1998 Our upstate April is cold and gray. Nevertheless yesterday I found up in our old woods on the littered ground dogtooth violets standing around and blooming wisely. And by the edge of the Bo’s road at the far side of the meadow where the limestone ledge crops out our wild cherry trees were making a great fountain of white gossamer. Joe-anne went and snipped a few small boughs and made a beautiful arrangement in the kitchen window where I sit now surrounded. m

J. Snowden is in love — with Canada. The 57-year-old, Massachusetts-based cult fave singer/songwriter has penned numerous odes to the northern nation. Her two CDs boast tunes with such titles as “Newfoundland,� “Prince Edward Island� and “In Canada.� It’s hard to describe this music. It’s not pop, it’s not jazz, folk or soul; the only thing you can say for sure is that Snowden puts her heart into it. Snowden’s keyboarding and lyrics, occasionally backed by her son’s overwrought electric guitar, are as straightforward as the names of her songs. “Oh, Novie, oh, Novie, my ancestors come from you,� she croons. “You’re tranquil, relaxing and dear.� Snowden’s song “New Brunswick,� on her album In Memory of My Father & My Life in Canada’s Atlantic Provinces, sounds almost like an ad. “Everyone is having fun,� she sings cheerily. “Everything is under the sun in New Brunswick, New Brunswick . . . fifteen hundred miles of shorelines, a great place to wine and dine in New Brunswick, New Brunswick.� Snowden’s fascination with Canada, coupled with her earnest, unadorned vocals, has endeared her to outsider music aficionados. A decade ago, the staff of Venus Records in Greenwich Village plucked her self-produced demo tape from the discount bin and began playing it for customers. One of them was Fred Schneider of The B-52s. Schneider became a fan, and encouraged the store to produce a full-length Snowden CD, Life in the USA and Canada, which he blurbed. Snowden has since appeared in Irwin Chusid’s 2000 outsider-music primer, Songs in the Key of Z. She was featured on MTV’s “Oddville,� and on an “Outsider� edition of public radio’s “Studio 360.� Last fall, Snowden appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.� But Snowden disputes her outsider status. She was trained at the Berklee School of Music, and worked for years in various schools as a children’s music teacher. Since
being laid off in 2001, she’s worked as a substitute teacher. In addition to her gigs at the Khyber-Pass CafÊ in Halifax and the Knitting Factory in New York City, she also plays piano and sings gospel music each week at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Snowden brings her sincere stylings to Radio Bean on Sunday. Seven Days spoke with her by phone from the home she shares with her elderly mother in Billerica. CATHY RESMER: You sing a lot about Canada. B.J. SNOWDEN: I love Canada. CR: Why? BS: The people are friendly. The cities are very clean. My mother and I go up to Prince Edward Island for a month in July, and we love it up there. It’s just so beautiful. There are a lot of wide-open spaces. My grandmother was from Canada. CR: And yet I notice that you don’t sing at all about QuÊbec. Why is that? BS: The reason I didn’t do QuÊbec is because a lot of the people from QuÊbec wanted to separate from Canada. So I didn’t bother writing about them. But I do have a new song for them. It’s about MontrÊal. I’m performing there the day before I’m in Vermont. CR: You didn’t write about QuÊbec because you were protesting the separatist movement? BS: A little bit, yeah. CR: In your song about MontrÊal, how do you rhyme with QuÊbec? BS: I don’t. I do have rhymes in the song, but not with QuÊbec. CR: Has the tourism office of Canada ever contacted you? BS: No, they haven’t! And I don’t know how to get in touch with them.
SEVEN DAYS | may 24-31, 2006 | feature 41A CR: It seems like a no-brainer. You’re, like, their biggest fan, and you’re spreading the word about how great Canada is. Would you ever consider doing an ad campaign for them? BS: Oh, I’d love to. CR: Your music is like nothing I’ve ever heard before. I find it compelling, but I can’t put my finger on exactly why. It reminds me of the way I feel about Leslie Hall’s gem sweater-themed rap music. BS: You know Leslie? That’s funny. She and I did a show together at Coolidge Corner in Brookline. Her brother who lives in Los Angeles is a fan. He gave her my address and number, and she emailed me and asked me to perform with her. CR: Leslie Hall is also considered a kind of outsider musician. I know you’ve had issues with the outsider label — you’ve said you felt uncomfortable being included on the Chusid book’s companion CD.
people and the politicians, but to the regular people like you and I.” Or “not to the government, but to the people of the United States.” CR: Does she perform with you? BS: Yes. Just that one song, though. But sometimes, when I sing “In Canada,” she’ll sing that, too. She’s heard it so many times she knows the words.
CR: How would you classify your music? BS: Experimental. I’m trying to do different things with the music I’m composing. It depends on my mood. CR: Are you experimenting instrumentally? BS: Actually, I only play the keyboard and a little bit of recorder. My song “La Luna Bella” — I play the recorder on that. CR: I should add that you don’t just write about Canada. The song “Disaster and Tragedy,” for example, whose chorus is “Disaster, and tragedy, although we know this is wrong / disaster and tragedy together makes us strong,” sounds like it applies to the U.S. BS: Oh, my mother wrote the words to that song. I just wrote the music. It’s a song about 9/11. Americans actually got together and donated their time and money to a lot of people, like the families of people who got killed on that day. My mother says something at the beginning to dedicate it — “not to the rich

by Title X.
CR: Most of your songs are pretty upbeat, but not “Conspiracy,” which is more like a rap number. In the chorus, you chant, “Conspiracy, conspiracy, some co-workers working against me.” And there’s that line, “Some bosses think these teachers are a peach, but in reality, they’re nothing but a beach.” It’s about your former job as a music teacher, I take it. BS: Yes . . . I worked there from 1999 to 2001. They laid me off. You probably know, out in the workforce, that there are some nice people, right? But there are some mean people. And the mean people and the bosses seem to click together.
It’s not pop, it’s not jazz, folk or soul; the only thing you can say for sure is that Snowden puts her heart into it. BS: Some of the other music that was on that album didn’t seem to click with me. I just didn’t feel as though I really fit with the other artists.
Getting your birth control supplies has never been easier!
CR: I read somewhere that your former employers had not taken kindly to your music career. BS: Yes, you’re right. I think that might have been part of the reason they got rid of me. CR: I’ve heard that your performances are unique. What’s a typical B.J. Snowden show like? BS: I make people happy. Because there are so many depressing situations in the country now. Some people will come up to me at the end of the show and say, you know, “I was in a bad mood today, but you made me happy.” That’s happened quite a few times. There were a couple girls, [when] I was playing in Cambridge, Mass., they came in to eat. And they wrote a little thing on a napkin that said, “You really made my day. You made life worth living.” You know what happened one day? A group of students from Emerson College was going to come see my show so they could have something to laugh about. And then, when they got there, they were shocked. They said, “We came here to have something to laugh about, and we were just amazed at the things you did.” That’s how I turn a lot of people around. They think I’m a joke. m

I’m pleased to report that after eight years of inactivity, rock powerhouses The Pants have still got it. And by it, I mean cool tunes, great chemistry and a hell of a sense of humor. I had the chance to swing by their very first rehearsal in preparation for their big reunion concert this Saturday, May 27, at the Higher Ground Ballroom. Betcha wish you were me.

BY CASEY REA
By the time the group slipped into the twangy ballad “Wounded,” I was won over. In fact, I had to stop myself from singing along. Front man Lawson’s voice was in fine form as he hit the tune’s high notes without struggle. “High Water Mark” has always been one of the band’s most popular. It’s easy to see why; the song has a little of everything, from catchy melodies to balls-out rock. Guitarist Jaffe pretty much nailed his oddball lead licks, while bassist Hutchins provided lively low end. All four gents attacked the contrapuntal harmonies with gusto. THE PANTS Of course, a big part of the fun was watching the dudes trade asides during a break. “Could you hear me OK in your monitor?” Hutch asked Cleary. “No, and it was great,” the drummer teasingly replied. Just like old times. So much so that I once again felt like a tongue-tied underclassman smokin’ butts with the cool seniors. Guess some things never change.
FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES
The band, which features Neil Cleary, Eric “Hutch” Hutchins, Paul “Pistol” Jaffe and Tom Lawson, arrived at the rehearsal space right when I did. Their pal and sometime keyboardist Dan Mazur was already there. The thirtysomethings all looked pretty good — a few gray hairs, but no oxygen tanks. Anticipation was high as the band set up their equipment. But right when they were about to start rocking, a Seven Days photo shoot interrupted ’em. Man, what killjoys! Staff shutterbug Matthew Thorsen — who photographed the band back in the ’90s — wasted no time corralling the musicians. At that point, everyone began to loosen up. “He’s only taking pictures of Neil,” joked Hutchins. Gotta love that band solidarity. Once back in the rehearsal room, things came together very quickly. The hazy instrumental “Surface Tension” was the first tune they tackled. No major wipeouts: So far, so good. Next up was “Simmer Down,” a disarmingly complex number with shifty rhythms and a chugging chorus. Grins began to break out. “Well, that was a lot better than our last practice,” someone quipped.

WATCHING PICTURES, SEEING SOUND Two composers of soundtrack music, Allan Nicholls and Lucio Menegon, will perform live at Nectar’s on Tuesday, May 30. The 21+ show kicks off at 8 p.m. Nicholls, a longtime collaborator with acclaimed director Robert Altman, will feature material from his latest disc, Songs From the Source, which includes material he wrote for Altman films such as Nashville and The Player. Nicholls will be accompanied by a handful of local musicians and some choice film clips. Oakland, California-based Menegon is a sound artist, guitarist and engineer/producer. Hmm, I see we have something in common. He’s currently on the road in support of his own disc, Soundtrack Instrumentals: Music for Driving & Film. Nice title, but it would be inadvisable to listen, watch a movie, and operate a motor vehicle at the same time. Menegon will also be stopping by Radio Bean on Monday, May 29, for a 6 p.m. solo set. But don’t expect any extra eye candy. That one is strictly BYOV (bring your own visuals). m
LUCIO MENEGON
Calling all down-and-dirty rockers: On Wednesday, May 31, four unruly garage acts will invade Burlington’s Red Square for an evening of gutterworthy music. Hosted by local louts The Fatal Flaws, the self-styled “Trash Fest” also features the ballsy sounds of Burlington’s Mortal Wound & the Bobos and The Breaking In. Montréal’s garage gods Skip Jansen & His Shakin’ Feet will also appear. “The Trash Fest is rather accidentally serving as a vaccine for all that jazz infecting Burlington later in the week,” states the event’s press release. “We’re the wrong bands in the wrong place at the wrong time in the wrong town at the right price: no cover,” it continues. Can’t argue with that logic. But this party is also political: “We’re also pleased as punch to launch the ‘Bring Back “Maakies” to Seven Days’ Petition,” the rockers declare. This refers to a recent instant-runoff election in which a certain comic strip was voted out of this publication. Sour grapes or fan devotion? You be the judge. If you’re not inspired by the cartoon call-to-arms, organizers offer another incentive to attend: “Fans with Pants hangovers [see page 32a] should find the evening’s rock ’n’ roar train-wrecks sobering,” they declare. Nothing like hitting the bar to get straight.

reviewthis GARY SISCO & PALS, THE END OF THE TRAIL
CARACALLA, LETTERS TO THE DEAD
(Frederick Productions, CD)
(Self-released, CD) How do you review a CD by an artist who hasn’t picked up a guitar since 1984? Well, it helps to remember that Gary Sisco played some incredible sets of music back in the late ’70s and early ’80s. And he kept good company: The late barroom crooner Jeffrey Frederick and cult folksinger Michael Hurley served as both musical mentors and drinkin’ buddies. The three rambled together in that delicate era when flower power met sour mash bourbon. Rescued from under car seats and shoeboxes, and impeccably re-mastered, The End of the Trail documents some of the magic. I first heard Sisco when he was folk-rockin’ with Hundred Proof, a band that played regularly in the Waterville-Jeffersonville area. That group was a fine vehicle for his keen songwriting and gravely baritone. But as this disc proves, Sisco’s true identity was that of a busker. His many years as a musical hobo inspire the sentimental backdrop for some of his most tender material. Opener “Gypsy Bill” features reflective road poetry and the dancing mandolin licks of Will Patton. Subsequent cut “Missoula” captures the longing of the road with soulful precision: “You know Missoula was the first place comin’ back from the war / Where I found some peace / now I need some more,” he sings. Banjo and steel-guitar man Gordon Stone kicks up some dust on “Jim Canaans.” The title track boasts the slinky electric guitar riffs that helped Sisco’s folk music go over in bars. The tune’s infectious, throw-lifeto-the-wind vitality is still plenty potent. The only thing lacking on The End is the absence of a full band on some the studio takes. Still, Sisco’s signature song, “Release Me,” sounds perfectly fine with a bare-bones guitar and bass arrangement. The disc’s final track, “I Don’t Know,” offers some hard-earned wisdom about life’s changes. “Autumn follows the drifters around,” Sisco sings in a farewell to a friend killed in Vietnam. Catch him with Michael Hurley & the Fabulous Sensitivos — which also features Dave Reisch — on Thursday, May 25, at Montpelier’s Langdon Street Café; Friday, May 26, at Chow! Bella in St. Albans; and Sunday evening at Bradford’s Middle Earth Music Hall.
SPENCER LEWIS
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a new release from a Vermont-based extreme-metal band. Maybe I’m just out of touch — I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t get to many heavy shows these days. Nevertheless, I’m absolutely blown away by Caracalla’s debut EP, Letters to the Dead. The four-song disc is one of the best metal offerings I’ve heard this year, locally or nationally. All of the staple ingredients are here, from howling vocals and ridiculously complex guitar figures to blastbeats and half-time breakdowns. Yet while many of their musical peers sound too mechanical, Caracalla tear into their tunes with passion that borders on psychotic. What do you expect from a band that takes its name from a particularly bloodthirsty Roman emperor? Opener “Looking Through the Obituaries for You” stings like the needles on a tattoo gun. Meticulously plotted, the tune’s nonstop meter shifts conspire to make heads spin. This is fitting, as later on, the band employs samples from the cinematic vomit-fest The Exorcist. “Signed Yours Truly” boasts tumultuous riffs and relentless, jackhammer beats. Thunderous low-end chugs are met by searing guitar blasts that could tear flesh. “Is it haunting us, or killing us?” asks vocalist Kevin in a throat-rending howl. Judging from the music, both. A tumbling, start-stop riff opens “Blood Soaked Dreams.” At first, the band cops a robotic bounce à la Swedish math-metal champs Meshuggah. That is, before they careen into a molten middle section that sounds like Iron Maiden genetically fused with Dillinger Escape Plan. The most unsettling, and adventurous, moments take place in “Letters to the Dead.” It’s tough to imagine more musical ideas being crammed into a 2-and-a-half-minute tune. Speed, precision, aggression and intensity are all here in spades. Letters boasts more than its share of white-knuckle twists and turns. But Caracalla seem to understand that metal is heavier with the inclusion of the occasional slow-mo stomp. It’s this kind of arrangement smarts that make the disc a miniature masterpiece. It would surprise me if this band didn’t get noticed on a national — perhaps international — level. Do me a favor, guys, and send this review to some labels. modq-500wizn050306 5/2/06 10:39 AM Page 1

DISCOVER JAZZ PREVIEW: THURSDAY, JUNE 8
HORN OF PLENTY :: Modern funk players owe a major debt to
Maceo Parker. As a key
member of James Brown’s band, the saxophonist helped give American music a bold and brassy makeover. Later work with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins further cemented his legacy. With nine solo albums to his credit, Maceo has kept the funk fires well stoked. Catch him at the Burlington Discover Jazz Fest’s Waterfront Blues Tent on Thursday, June 8. Staten Island soul slingers Budos Band and Dwight Ritcher & Nicole Nelson with Dennis Willmott join the party.

ARTWORK Untitled prints by Sumru Tekin
PHOTO Marc Awodey
culptor R.G. Solbert and printmaker Sumru Tekin call their joint exhibit at 215 College Artists’ Cooperative “Dialogue, Monologue.” Though visually eloquent and conceptually engaging, the show isn’t as wordy as that title suggests. On view through June 4, it does include a few punchy questions spelled out in Solbert’s works. Tekin’s prints, on the other hand, speak volumes with silence. Solbert’s “Questions Series” is a continuous monologue that prods viewers to consider their role in the world and, more specifically, in the so-called “War on Terror.” English, Italian and French phrases appear in her mixed-media paintings and sculptures. Most texts are in the form of questions; others are pithy, terse statements. A red, horizontal shadow box, for example, includes the French phrase “Allez-vous réfléchir,” loosely translated as “go reflect.” The words are written in cursive on a long, curved piece of mica. Wires are tangled over shards of mica in the interior of the shadow box. In a companion blue box, also wall-hung and measuring 16 by 20 inches, the words “Allez-vous fuir” (“go flee”) are spelled out in lightblue wire, and copper wires are crinkled overhead. “Will you kill” is Solbert’s most literal piece, a two-dimensional collage, framed and under glass. In the center
is the silhouette of a dome — the implication is a mosque — with the title words spelled out in wire over it. Arranged, bunker-like on the left and right sides and overhead are a total of 72 photographs of soldiers killed in Iraq. These appear to have been cut from a magazine article about mounting war casualties. Solbert’s phrases are thoughtprovoking, even without translations. She teases viewers into trying to understand the sparse messages. Interestingly, her queries lack question marks. Among other phrases in her works are “Can you count,” “Are you covert” and “Potete uccidere” (“Can you kill” in Italian). Tekin’s monoprints are sans text, yet her work might be considered the “dialogue” part of the exhibition; she appears to be in constant conversation with the materials of printmaking. Though black-and-white, Tekin’s monoprints have a broad range of values and intensities. Using litho crayons and other drawing materials, she draws meandering lines based on lengths of string, as if they were laid upon her inking plates. The compositions are made up of several sheets of paper, which are suspended with pins over the gallery walls. Thus the prints become multi-paneled, three-dimensional objects floating over the walls.
“Variation 2” is a group of four 12-by-16-inch prints with subtle repeated shapes delineated by stringy outlines. The four images are centered differently, giving each a distinct presence within the series. An untitled series of 15, 9-by-9-inch sheets, arranged in a grid, has wilder variations of line and value. Rich, dark swaths of carborundum printing contrast with finely etched lines, as well as razor-straight lines sewn in black thread. These threads transverse Tekin’s prints both vertically and horizontally. Together the composition offers a dynamic array of lights and darks. Tekin’s largest pieces are untitled vertical diptychs with broad fields of black carborundum printing. Her grays are translucent, and split by lines of negative space. Tekin etches, prints and reworks plates, allowing successive states to develop their own personalities. She describes the process as “an exercise in random operation and chance.” The imagery may be random, but Tekin, an adroit technician, seems to leave little to chance in the superb execution of her work. All the artworks in this exhibit have in common lively lines and nonobjective abstraction. Tekin’s dialogue with her medium and Solbert’s soul-searching monologue also flow

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT
Found Artist
A IMAGE Jeb WallaceBrodeur “Circular Statements,” mixed-media installations by Janet Van Fleet. Flynndog, Burlington, through July 1; and “Museum Cases,” found-object sculptures, T.W. Wood Gallery, Montpelier. June 1 - July 23. Reception June 1, 5-7 p.m. http://www. janetvan fleet.com
rtistically speaking, you might call Janet Van Fleet a late bloomer. The Cabot painter and sculptor began her first major, public work only about 10 years ago, when she was 49. But she paid her dues real fast with a project from hell. Literally. “A Guided Tour of Dante’s Inferno,” a 9-by-14-foot mixed-media installation, presents the Nine Circles of Hell on descending surfaces, and includes numerous horrid-looking figures with whom you would not want to spend eternity — even if they are just clay, fiber and papiermâché. It was an ambitious project that nearly exhausted its creator. “That was a humongous amount of work and I was completely doofy,” Van Fleet admits. “I had no idea what I was getting into.” Supported by a grant from the Vermont Arts Council, the self-contained piece traveled to several venues around the state, including Burlington’s Rose Street Artists’ Co-op. “Inferno” was many Vermonters’ introduction to Van Fleet, but it would not be the last time she made them stop, look and think. Indeed, that may be her primary motive for making art. In the years since her brush with the underworld, Van Fleet has been in artistic hyperdrive; her website lists 30 solo shows, 16 juried and 25 group exhibitions. Her work is in collections as far-flung as Australia and Japan. And the site is not up to date: It doesn’t include, for example, two overlapping solo shows this month at the Flynndog and T.W. Wood galleries. Van Fleet’s “Circular Statements” exhibit at Burlington’s Flynndog comprises three large, wallhung installations and half a dozen smaller, framed works, and enlists cut-metal pieces, buttons, paint and wire grids to explore the metaphorical circle. “The two branches of my work — painting and the threedimensional — sort of came together for this show,” she says. And the humble button represents the human scale in the cosmos, Van Fleet suggests. “We’re at the center between the macroscopic and the microscopic, or at least we think we are,” she says. The buttons also represent connections — “They
I’m not one of those people who needs to express herself — the last thing I want to express is myself. I put these together and then I’m in the same position you are, wondering, “What is this about?” JANET VAN FLEET
connect one thing with another.” Flynndog curator Bren Alvarez, who had included Van Fleet in previous group shows, didn’t hesitate to hand her the entire venue for this one — though that’s often “a leap of faith,” she says, in this long, high-ceilinged room. “I knew she could fill the gallery not only with artwork but also people,” Alvarez says. “Her work is tremendous, and it transforms the space in a way that’s always unpredictable. Everyone has loved it.” Van Fleet will have a more modest space to fill for “Museum Cases” — the South Gallery at the Wood in Montpelier — but the work is more contained. Sort of. In the show, which opens June 1, figurative sculptures made from found wood are displayed in eight “implied” cases. Narrow steel rods rise from the four corners of the pedestals and delineate the edges of a box — as in a line drawing. But there’s no glass. “People say, ‘What is this shit? She just picks it off
the ground and doesn’t even carve it or paint it or anything,’” Van Fleet says of the beach wood and other detritus with which she assembles surprisingly compelling figures. “Nature is such a fabulous sculptor,” she says admiringly. “I wanted to do something to kind of ‘privilege’ this work. I want people to spend more time with them, to really look at them. How do you beguile people to do that?” Van Fleet’s answer was to house these little anthropomorphic sculptures in her version of museum cases, but without distancing the viewer too much. The resulting tableaux have implied narratives as well; in one, four “people” sit in a tree. Beneath it are small piles of bones — “from take-out,” she reveals. She has numbered rather than titled these works, opting to let people imagine their own stories about them. “The way I feel about making art,” Van Fleet says, “I feel like I’m a tool; I just make it. I’m not one of those people who needs to express herself — the last thing I want to express is myself,” she says wryly. “I put these together and then I’m in the same position you are, wondering, ‘What is this about?’” Van Fleet was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her mother was a poet and lab technician; her father, an artist and adobe-house builder. Though art was always a part of her life, she abandoned the Art Institute of Chicago after one semester and instead earned a degree in psychology from the University of Michigan. For four years she lived in Europe — primarily Denmark — “doing the hippie thing” with her husband, writer R.D. Eno. When they returned to the U.S., the couple wanted to live in New England, and that’s when they made their way to Cabot. Van Fleet first found work as a graphic designer. After she had two children, she says, “I became fascinated by kids and their development,” and returned to school — Goddard College — for a teaching certificate. She taught first through third grades in Montpelier for the next decade. In 1996, the same year that Van Fleet won her grant to create “Inferno,” her father-in-law passed away. “He left us some
money that enabled me to do art,” she explains candidly. “It was an opportunity to build my professional career.” Van Fleet is feisty, funny, plainspoken and progressive. So it’s no surprise that her artwork can be openly political. Her “River of Blood” paintings and “Bombing of Kosovo” installations decry violence and war; her small “Ethnic Encampments” figures make a large, collective statement about human displacement. Her womanly “Red Dress” series of large-scale paintings inspires introspection. Some of her work, though, is just plain cute: In recent years Van Fleet has created delightful “button people,” cut metal fish with distinctive personalities and button gills, doll-sized “clothing” fashioned from buttons and wire, and nonfunctional teapots made of found wood. “I do these crafty things to make money,” she says. “Vermont is a great place to make art and to show art, but it is not a great place to sell art.” Van Fleet’s mark may be most evident in Barre; she is a co-founder of Studio Place Arts, the memberbased gallery and arts-education facility, which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. She also occasionally exhibits there, and curates one show annually. One perk of her founder status: first dibs on a third-floor studio. That room, like most artists’ spaces, is pleasantly cluttered with finished and in-progress works and the tools of her trade — in Van Fleet’s case, this includes boxes filled with unidentifiable found items. “I’ve always loved garbage,” she announces, then adds faux-sternly, “but I’ve taken a pledge recently to only pick up items that I know I’ll use.” On her website Van Fleet shows a group of paintings she calls “people trying to figure things out.” In one of them, titled “Retrospect,” three lines of cursive text on red stripes separate two rows of three faces each. The faces, which appear to be enclosed in nests, all have different miens — puzzled, troubled, vexed, blank. The text: “When you look back you have to wonder who that person was.” It seems suspiciously autobiographical. Or maybe Van Fleet is just expressing all of us. m

theborowitzreport BUSH PRESSES FED CHIEF FOR HIKE IN APPROVAL RATING
I
n what insiders described as a heated, occasionally testy Oval Office meeting, President George W. Bush today pressed Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke for a one percent increase in his approval rating. With the president’s approval rating sinking below 30 percent for the first time in his presidency to an all-time low of 29 percent, Mr. Bush felt that urgent action needed to be taken to boost his sagging statistic. For that reason, he took the extraordinary step of pulling Mr. Bernanke out of a Fed meeting on inflation and summoning him to the White House to demand that his approval rating be hiked by 100 basis points, or one percent. While presidents in the past have leaned on the nation’s central banker to move interest rates up or down, Mr. Bush’s action is believed to be the first
time that a Fed chief has been called upon to manipulate a president’s approval rating. But at the White House today, Mr. Bush defended the move, telling reporters, “It’s time to start thinking outside the box.”

The Da Vinci Code HH
R SECT SYMBOLS Hanks solves a series of puzzles revealing the existence of shadow societies operating within the Church.
eligious fanatics who’ve made such a fuss over Ron Howard’s new film, it turns out, may have a point. I found it shocking, too. Not because it’s blasphemous. Because it’s shockingly silly, tedious, preposterous and talky. Can it really be just a year since Howard gave us Cinderella Man? Talk about a fall from grace. I haven’t read Dan Brown’s record-shattering bestseller and, now that I’ve seen the screen adaptation of it, I am similarly shocked that so many people have read it. This is what all the hubbub’s been about? So, when I say The Da Vinci Code is an almost unwatchably ridiculous movie, I don’t mean that it doesn’t do Brown’s book justice. I wouldn’t know. I’m just saying that, as a motion picture, it is an ungodly mess. Almost as soon as the opening credits have rolled, the twoand-a-half-hour torrent of comic-book-level nonsense commences. After-hours in the Louvre, a sinister albino monk shoots an old man, the museum’s curator. Gasping his final breaths, he somehow manages to hide a safety-deposit-box key behind a large, unwieldy painting, scribble anagrams next to other works of art in some sort of invisible ink, scrawl an encrypted message containing a scrambled numerical code on the institution’s floor, take off his clothes, arrange himself in a pose out of a famous da Vinci work, and cover his body with symbols drawn in his own blood. Oh, yeah, and leave a secret message for the young woman he took in and raised after the death of her parents. With that much life still left in him, you’d think the guy might have simply picked up a phone and called for help. Then he could have just told everybody what he needed to the next day from the comfort of a hospital bed, instead of leaving a ludicrous slew of clues. But in this story, apparently, anything worth doing is worth doing the hard way. Charged with solving the crime, a French police officer played by Jean Reno does what any detective faced with a brutal homicide would do: He brings in a Harvard professor of symbology — who just happens to be in town at a book signing — for questioning. Tom Hanks stars as Robert Langdon. Shortly thereafter, he is introduced to another officer played by Audrey Tautou. I’m not sure which I found harder to swallow — that she turns out to be the dead man’s granddaughter, or that her job title is “police cryptographer.” The next thing you know, Hanks and Tautou are on the run together, pursued at any given moment by the police, the albino monk (Paul Bettany), a bloodthirsty bank employee, a doubledealing historian and/or the members of various shadow sects dedicated to guarding an ancient secret that, if revealed, could call certain fundamental Christian tenets into question. It may
take Hanks and Tautou the better part of the film to solve a series of puzzles and uncover this world-shaking secret, but virtually everyone who buys a ticket will go in already knowing it, so I’m not sure where the suspense is supposed to come from. Ian McKellen costars as a Holy Grail expert who offers the pair a safe haven as well as a nifty audio-visual presentation that lays the “secret” out for them: Jesus, the story posits, married Mary Magdalene and raised a family, and the bloodline survives to the present day. Or will, at least, until some maniacal albino monk or shadow society member discovers his or her identity. The idea that Christ’s direct flesh-and-blood descendent is walking around wearing a bull’s eye is sort of intriguing, I suppose, though the movie doesn’t do much with it. The whole business about Mary Magdalene and the Savior of the human race settling down and bringing up a brood, on the other hand, is too been-there-done-that to have much impact. Doesn’t anyone remember Nikos Kazantzakis’ The Last Temptation of Christ, which came out more than a half-century ago, or the movie Martin Scorsese made based on it in 1988? Mary, Jesus, kids, the whole deal. As I watched Howard’s film, the whole nefarious secretcabal-within-the-Catholic-Church business took on an increasingly familiar tone, too, and then I remembered a film I’d seen in 2003. The Order starred Heath Ledger as a priest who uncovers a nefarious secret cabal operating within the Catholic Church. Combine key elements of Last Temptation with those in The Order and you’ve pretty much got The Da Vinci Code. Only, you know, without all the puzzles. Or the staggering deluge of dialogue. Howard and writer Akiva Goldsman attempt to cram in way too much of the book and its historical underpinnings. As a result, Hanks’ character comes off as the kind of know-it-all chatterbox who’d stop while bullets zipped overhead to give you a lecture on the Knights Templar or the origin of Opus Dei. I defended the actor’s choices in recent flops like The Terminal and The Ladykillers, but, I’m sorry, even Tom Hanks can’t redeem this blabby, big-screen baloney. That people as gifted as Howard, Hanks and Goldsman (who also wrote the scripts for A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man) could produce a picture this busily trivial is, in fact, The Da Vinci Code’s most confounding puzzle. They’re responsible for some of the most memorable movies of the past quarter-century, but, faced with the challenge of bringing Brown’s theological brainteaser to the big screen, none of them seems to have had a clue. m

Or something like that. With Chris Pine. (102 min, PG-13)

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Wet and Wild
People attending a Sunday afternoon matinee of Poseidon, which involves a tidal wave, noticed life had begun to imitate art. to imitate art. Patrons at two other films were also affected when things got decidedly wet. “Our water heater on the second floor burst,” says Merrill Jarvis III, who operates the movie house. “The pipe that fed it didn’t have a shut-off valve, so my employees couldn’t stop the flood. ” The culprit was unseen rust on the bottom of the 80-gallon tank, installed during the building’s 1981 construction under different ownership. City firefighters came to the rescue, putting buckets in the lobby and calling the electric department to cut power before the system went snap, crackle and pop. Jarvis covered his seats with plastic bags. “We had 5 inches of water on the projection room floor and 100 ceiling tiles came crashing down,” he notes. “Luckily,
everybody evacuated safely. They took it in stride. We gave them all passes.” Jarvis hired the cleanup company Servpro, which brought in dehumidifiers and sand to dry the carpets. He replaced the tiles and purchased a new water heater, with shut-off valves. The Roxy was ready to reopen 48 hours after the deluge. “Even though there was no damage to the screens, projectors and sound equipment, it could cost me up to $30,000,” Jarvis acknowledges. “But I’m totally insured.” And the inundation didn’t keep him from proceeding with the launch of a new online ticketing service — at http://www.merrilltheatres.net — for advance credit card sales. The show must go on. The First Peoples’ Festival, now in its 16th year, is a Native Canadian extravaganza of art exhibits, literary events and guest speakers. A segment devoted to motion pictures will unspool at two reserves, Kahnesatake — a.k.a. Oka — in Québec on May 27 and Kahnawake in southeast Ontario on May 29, before moving to Montréal’s National Film Board on June 2 and 3. The roster of features and documentaries by indigenous filmmakers from around the world includes Indian Summer: The Oka Crisis. This English-language CBC television series looks back at an armed standoff in 1990 over a planned golf-course expansion that threatened an ancient burial ground and a pine forest considered sacred by Mohawks living nearby. The
cast includes actors who have worked with Peacham director Jay Craven: former Lyndonville resident Tantoo Cardinal (Where the Rivers Flow North, among others) and Gary Farmer (Disappearances). For more information on the fest, visit http://www.nativelynx.qc.ca or call 514-278-4040. Claudia Becker is a political junkie, but America’s RepublicanDemocrat split did not influence the choice of names at her renovated Big Picture Theater in Waitsfield. Indies will be screened in “the red room” and mainstream films in “the blue room.” “It’s no reflection of the country’s divisions,” she says. “One has red seats and the other has blue seats, that’s all.” Whatever. Friday’s reopening of her multifaceted venue, formerly called The Eclipse, will kick off three days of festivities. Becker is presenting the newly released Hoot, an environmental adventure suitable for families, and the Oscar-winning Crash, a taut drama about racism. Musical performances, cartoons for kids, dancing, juggling and food should provide additional enticements for holiday weekend celebrants. Call 496-8994 or check
http://www.bigpicturetheater.info for details. The annual Baked Bead Sale, organized concurrently by a neighborhood jewelry store under a tent in the adjacent parking lot, always draws about 3000 people. “Maybe one-third of them will drop by the Big Picture,” Becker predicts. She envisions serving a variety of interests. The red room, which has only 40 permanent seats, can also accommodate live bands, bingo games or square dances. Weekday mornings during the school year, Becker is leasing it to the Open Hearth Community Center for playgroups and classes. Restoration work on the attached café should be completed by early July. Her future Wednesday-throughSunday film schedules will range from entertainment that’s escapist but not mindless to provocative art-house fare. “I see this as a local gathering place that also addresses global issues,” she says. The project has been challenging for Becker, who is married to documentarian Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight) and the mother of two small children. “It’s an incredible commitment,” she says. “I’m trying to find a magical balance.” m

READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
I know nothing about FRANKLIN Templeton investments. If anyone has stretched PC to its limits, it’s HARRY Belafonte. DWIGHT de Winter ran his plow factory into the ground. Before he moved on, JOHN Deere inhabited these frosty climes. Much is unlikely about LYNDON Larouche, including his name. RICHARD Gere is so handsome you don’t notice his fat nose. More than a sausage separates JIMMY Dean from James Dean. Clowns are scary, and RONALD McDonald is no exception. GEORGE Clooney gets at least twenty propositions per day. BILL Macy and Felicity Huffman make a cool Hollywood couple. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HISTORY. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

GOING THE DISTANCE To endurance runners, any discussion of marathon history is, well, Greek. According to popular legend, a Hellenic herald hoofed it home to Athens from the Battle of Marathon —26.22 miles — to announce the Greeks’ victory over the Persians. This may or may not have actually happened in 490 B.C.E., but the race was popularized at the 1896 Olympics. This weekend, men and women from all over compete both on foot and in wheelchairs in the Vermont City Marathon. In addition to the solo competitors, relay racers include a posse of 70-plus pace-setters, a City Hall band headed by Mayor Bob Kiss, and runners with heartvalve replacements who’ll meet in person for the first time this weekend. Go, team!

scene@VERMONT STATE STAMP SHOW CHRIST THE KING SCHOOL, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 9:30 A.M. - 4 P.M. The gymnasium at Christ the King School was awfully quiet as the collectors gathered for the Vermont State Stamp Show — largely older men in their fifties and sixties — sat at card tables and silently thumbed through their wares. Bread and Puppet Theater this was not. But as I browsed among the Plexiglas display cases devoted to philately (stamp collecting), deltiology (postcard collecting) and ephemera (historical paper items), my curiosity for the hobby was piqued. The annual show, which this year marked the 50th anniversary of the Vermont Philatelic Society, featured decades-old stamps from Malta, Tasmania, Zululand and the Leeward Islands; historical postal cancellations, including the earliest known one in Vermont — from the Windsor Post Office on July 13, 1792; and the arcane hobby of collecting “perfins,� or the uniquely designed perforations punched into stamps to prevent theft. One display, “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,� featured dozens of black-andwhite postcards of early Vermont: a 1919 train derailment into the Winooski River; Charles Lindbergh arriving at Springfield Airport in the “Spirit of St. Louis�; pilot Fred Kelley’s airplane overturned at the Missisquoi Airport in Swanton (circa. 1941) with the caption, “There are no reports of Fred’s condition.� Apparently, plane crashes and train wrecks were once popular subjects for postcards — sort of precursors of today’s reality TV shows. Most fascinating, though, were the stories the postcard enthusiasts told. Bob Page, 62, of Brattleboro, said he’d once found a postcard he suspected was a photo of a one-room schoolhouse in Wilmington. Unsure, he asked his mother, who’d grown up in that area. It turned out, she and her brother were the children in the photo. Another collector knew of someone who’d purchased a postcard that he’d sent out on his own honeymoon some 50 years earlier. I’m told such stories from the world of deltiology are more common than you’d think. Perhaps some letters are destined to return to their senders — in 2x1-vonbargens051006 5/8/06 1:04 PM Page 1 due time. KEN PICARD

April was National Poetry Month, but the verses keep on coming in the Burlington area. Eric “Zork� Alan says he grew up hating poetry, “until I started writing emails to a woman I was dating, and reading those emails in an acting class.� The practice paid off. The author of I Am NOT a Poet brings the word to a bookstore reading, then opens the floor to high school slammers from Burlington, Colchester and Essex. On Saturday, Burlington City Arts hosts a street festival and “poetry circus,� celebrity readings, a “poetry tasting� pairing food-themed verse with actual edibles, and a clay workshop inspired by John Keats’ “Ode on a Grecian Urn.� “Wild ecstasy,� indeed.

MAY 25-31
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Donald Rumsfeld never listens to anything except the voices inside his own head,” wrote San Francisco Chronicle columnist Jon Carroll. While this is an unfortunate situation, given the fact that the U.S. Secretary of Defense has so much power over others, it is not all that uncommon. Many people rarely consult any opinions besides those that originate in their own imaginations. And from time to time, all of us get temporarily hypnotized by the rants of the little voices in our heads. You’re especially at risk for that to happen in the near future, Aries. There are two things you can do to ensure it doesn’t. First, cultivate an ironic distance toward those inner voices. Evaluate what they say with rigorous objectivity. Second, listen really hard to people who are both thoughtful and humble.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Surveys show that 21 percent of the population say they’re “regularly bored out of their minds.” If those surveys included astrological data in their research, I bet they’d find that among Tauruses who suffer bouts of boredom, 85 percent are most susceptible to that state during the end of May and the first half of June. That’s why I encourage you to make dramatic efforts to keep yourself stimulated and amused in the coming days. Don’t fall prey to the lowest common denominator of plain old ordinary fate. Use your imagination to fill your schedule with novelty, intrigue, learning experiences and high adventure.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): “Do you want to sell sugar water for the rest of your life, or do you want to change the world?” That’s the question asked by Marc Hedlund in the intro to his “Proverbs for Entrepreneurs” (http://snipurl. com/ndlv). Since you’re experiencing new opportunities to bring more of the entrepreneurial spirit into your life and work, I thought I’d offer you a few of his suggestions. (1) Pay attention to any idea that won’t leave you alone. (2) Give people what they really need, not necessarily what they say they need. (3) If you keep your brilliant ideas secret for fear they’ll be stolen, people will hide their brilliant ideas from you. (4) Great things are
made by people who share a passion, not by partners who have been talked into it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Every one of us has at some time in the past created a monstrous thing — a terrible relationship, a big mistake in judgment or a wrong move that damaged our credibility, integrity or income. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s a perfect time for you to atone for your own personal monstrosity — to make amends, seek forgiveness, and fix what’s possible to correct. I also urge you to analyze the unconscious patterns that led you to act in such a distorted way. Any hard-won understandings you gain now will serve as beacons that’ll help prevent you from veering so far off course again.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Author and peace activist Anne Herbert coined the suggestion, “Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” Recently I found myself driving behind a battered blue truck with a bumper sticker that had a variation on that advice: “Commit random acts of beautiful coolness.” Now, just in time for your Season of Ingenious Compassion, Leo, I have borrowed from them both to create an oracle that’s in perfect alignment with your astrological omens: Commit random acts of the coolest kindness and most intriguing beauty you can dream up.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you heard of the Lorax, the fuzzy yellow hero of the Dr. Seuss story? When a greedy factory owner moves into his idyllic little paradise and begins despoiling the forest, the Lorax complains on its behalf, saying, “I speak for the trees, because the trees have no tongues.” Be like the Lorax, Virgo. Stand up for those who are too meek or weak or inarticulate to defend their own interests. It’s the right thing to do, and besides, by doing so you will make connections that generate lucky breaks for you.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): William Vollman is an author who travels the world in search of crazy experiences to write about. In the
BY ROB BREZSNY You can call Rob Brezsny, day or night, for your expanded weekly horoscope 1-900-950-7700. $1.99 per minute. 18 and over. Touchtone phone. course of his adventures, he has lived with prostitutes in Cambodia, hung out with rebel insurgents in Afghanistan, and almost died on two occasions, once while stuck in the Arctic’s frozen wastes and once when caught in a crossfire in Bosnia. Despite having lived the equivalent of 10 lifetimes, however, he’s not jaded. Reviewing his work in The New York Review of Books, Michael Wood says Vollman has “seen it all but he still hasn’t lost his innocence.” Your assignment right now is to achieve a Vollman-esque state of openminded freshness as you seek out adventures that are as feisty (though not as risky) as Vollman’s. It’s time for you to cultivate what Zen practitioners call beginner’s mind.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to mythologist Michael Meade, real warriors are those who are experts at avoiding violence. They know how to prevent the escalation of conflict. They’re skilled at resolving problems before they explode. In fact, Meade says, war breaks out only when there are no authentic warriors involved in the situation. In this spirit, Scorpio, I exhort you to cultivate your skills as a warrior. You can be instrumental in dispersing the brewing tension well before it erupts into a brawl.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 2005, a band called the Mountain Goats released the album The Sunset Tree. They dedicated it “to young men and women anywhere who live with people who abuse them.” In this spirit, I’m dedicating your horoscope to those of you who promise to sever your connection to people who abuse you and to those of you who vow to never again tolerate a relationship with anyone who treats you with chronic disrespect. The next eight weeks will be prime time for you to ask for more good magic from all your intimate alliances.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Twice a year you enter a short-lived phase in your astrological cycle when tough challenges are the best gifts you can possibly receive. This is one of those times. To honor this richly disconcerting moment, I offer you three gems from sages who
understood how to get the most out of their trials. Psychologist C.G. Jung: “We need difficulties; they are necessary for our health.” French diplomat Jean Monnet: “If you have a problem you cannot solve, enlarge the context.” Albert Einstein: “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your power animal is the queen bee, which lays up to 2000 eggs a day in the spring. Like her, you are stupendously fertile. In fact, you’re capable of so much creative expression that it could take months for you to ripen all the new life that you’re now spawning. Just because you have this potential, however, doesn’t guarantee that you will use it well or completely. There’s a first important step you can take to help ensure that you do: Treat yourself with the same care and reverence and optimism you would a woman who’s nine months pregnant.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sri Lankanborn overachiever Suresh Joachim has a fascinating hobby: He attempts outlandish feats that get him written up in the Guinness Book of World Records. Among his many successes, he’s the current champion in the category of marathon TV watching. Given your current astrological omens, Pisces, you could exceed his mark of 70 consecutive hours. You have the potential to achieve miraculous levels of laziness. It’s my duty to inform you, however, that this same tendency could be directed in more constructive directions, even if you’re less likely to be cited for them in the Guinness book. For example, your capacity for breakthrough meditation is at a peak. With a few hours of intense prayer and self-examination, you could dissolve complexes that have plagued you for many moons. You also possess the ability to achieve marvelous states of relaxed stillness that will fill you with expansive new understandings of the way life really works.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, It’s not easy being a lesbian who’s in love with her straight buddy. Carol and I met in a class we took together, and we hit it off from the start. For the last three months we’ve gone running together several times a week, hung out at the coffee shop, gone to the occasional movie, and mostly talked and talked and talked. I thrive in her company, and don’t understand why it stopped there, although my being queer and her probably being hetero probably has something to do with it. I wish I could be content with just having this incredible friendship, but instead I keep brooding over what can’t be. I don’t want to ruin our friendship, but I feel like the way it is right now is ruining me. What can I do? Smitten in Stowe Dear Smitten, Why not tell her what’s going on with you? It’ll probably be awkward at first, but once you’ve worked it out, your friendship will be better for it, because you won’t feel the constant need to keep your secret. And chances are, she already suspects how you feel. Love, Lola
