weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

ALPHECCA

NATIVE SON As a native Vermonter and college student, I was a little agitated by your piece, “Biz Kids” [May 17]. I was raised in the small town of Tinmouth, in southern Rutland County, and loved every minute of it. I had a top-notch elementary and high school education, but upon graduation chose to attend a college in my family’s native Long Island. Although at times I feel a little like I leapt from the frying pan into the fire as far as expenses go, I know that when I graduate college, a position in social work will be waiting for me locally. I felt that your article dismissed the idea of Gov. Douglas trying to find more money for native Vermonters’ local education, on the theory that out-of-staters will take their place, much as he did. Is that really the right attitude? My sister will be paying almost as much to attend UVM as a Vermonter this fall as I do to attend my private university on Long Island. And never mind your article’s bias towards those students making a living in or having some connection to Burlington, a wellto-do region that does not represent the rest of the state, notably my native Rutland area. I love Vermont, and would love to return, but what is there to return to? Why should I have to “stick it out” or “get creative?” I, like most of my friends, just want a job in a traditional field. We are not all entrepreneurs. Most of all, we just

http://alphecca.com

MEMORIAL DAY Most towns have a memorial statue of some sort dedicated to our fallen heroes. Why not skip the crass, commercial sales tomorrow and instead find out where that local memorial is. Then, take your family to it and sit there a few minutes to reflect on those brave, dedicated souls who have laid down their lives for our security. Take your children if you have some, and bring along a history book to explain to them what is required, and WHY it is required that so many of our fellow citizens have fought and died for our wonderful way of life, our oncein-a-lifetime experiment in democracy that we proudly call America. Tell your children: Freedom is not free. The Jews have a wonderful tradition of (during Passover) opening the front door, and leaving a dinner plate with food (wine?) for the ghost of the prophet Elijah. Tomorrow, when you have your barbecue, leave a seat, a place setting for the spirit of a fallen soldier. Maybe, after explaining to your kids why, offer a moment of silence. And tomorrow night, why not write a check to the local veteran’s hospital; just a simple donation to, in some small way, say “Thanks.” God bless America. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than anywhere else. Let’s try to make Memorial Day a bit more serious, a bit more important than we have been lately. Let’s all try to remember what this day is really all about. Posted May 29 by Jeff Soyer Alphecca is an occasional blog by an independent, libertarian, gay gun nut from Vermont.

SUCCESS STORIES Ruth Horowitz’s story on the Lund Family Center [“Bringing Up Mommy,” May 10] captured the complex issues many of our residential clients struggle with daily. Lund is Vermont’s only residential treatment program for women and children. Our program is nationally recognized, child centered and family focused. When women come to our residential program, we support and accept them as individuals and give them hope and skills for a better life. We address the needs of both mothers and their children, when possible working in partnership with both parents. While Horowitz’s article mentions the problems these young women face, it is also important to recognize how successful most of them are in improving their lives and their children’s prospects. Young women come to Lund prepared to make drastic changes. Often they have little or no support from their families. Many are struggling to finish high school or college and gain job skills so that they can successfully support their children. Our school boasts a 70percent success rate. These young women have high 1:57 PM

hopes, motivation and vision. They need people to believe in them, and to help them understand and benefit from the opportunities they have. We are not talking about a handout but the chance to get schooling, treatment and skills in a setting that offers them the options of parenting or adoption. So many of these young women have gone on to be successful. We encourage anyone interested in getting involved or supporting our capital campaign to contact us. Barbara Rachelson BURLINGTON

Rachelson is executive director of the Lund Family Center. THE REAL DIRT Chris Beneke’s letter “The Plot Thickens” [May 17] included several inaccurate statements about the city’s gardening program, which need clarification. Since 1987, the Burlington Area Community Gardens program has been administered through Burlington Parks & Recreation. Our department rents plots for a nominal fee from April until October, with plot fees covering the cost for registration, water, tilling, grass cutting and newsletters. Parks & Recreation contracts out the tilling and grass cutting at garden sites, with the contractor assuming full responsibility for equipment maintenance, fuel, labor and insurance. Charlie

Krumholz began contracting with Parks & Recreation in 2004 following the retirement of Cornelius Reed, who worked with the community garden program for 30 years. Charlie is fairly compensated for his work, and he also serves as a volunteer at the Starr Farm Community Garden. There is always room for improvement within the community garden system, and having gardeners express concerns constructively and focus on solutions is of great help in addressing challenges and fostering participation. I encourage Chris Beneke and

other avid gardeners to share their ideas, get involved and build on the support the BACG program has received during the past 20 years from Burlington Parks & Recreation and countless dedicated volunteers. The BACG Advisory Board holds regular monthly meetings, which are open to community members. The all-volunteer board works in conjunction with the Parks & Recreation Department to offer suggestions and expertise with long-range planning, policy development and fundraising. Thanks to the leadership of the

board, volunteer site coordinators and staff professional, Lisa Coven, the BACG program has grown to include more than 1500 participants, who annually reap the benefits of growing fresh food while enjoying a healthy and lifelong recreational activity. Maggie Leugers BURLINGTON

Leugers is superintendent of recreation for Burlington Parks & Recreation FOR SHAME I am deeply disappointed in Governor Douglas, and ashamed

to be a Vermonter [“Something for Everyone to Protest,” May 24]. When Douglas chose to veto H 865, a bill to ban discrimination based on gender identity or expression, he took our great state backwards. Douglas has now become the first governor in Vermont history to not expand civil rights for more Vermonters. Is this the kind of leadership we want in Vermont? Transgender Vermonters deserve equal rights to access and enjoy restaurants, hotels, jobs, health care and housing without the fear of discrimination, harassment and, in the worst cases, violence. I wish our governor felt the same. Kara DeLeonardis BURLINGTON

DeLeonardis is director of Safe Space. ONE-SIDED REPORTING I was quite disturbed to read Ken Picard’s article on the Middlebury College panel called “Back From Iraq” [“Vermonters Assess the Human Price of Military Conflict,” May 17]. It was so onesided! The Gelineau family has suffered a terrible loss, but there are many families who have lost loved ones they feel died for a good cause, or others who are less sure. Not all would tell you it was a war for Haliburton. Drew

Cameron, who was in Iraq, experienced and saw some terrible things, but there are many stories of good things happening. Either way, war is ugly, and messy and confusing, whether it is a “just” war, from our perspective, or not. It is naïve to think otherwise. The extreme partisanship and simplistic sound bites by both sides and the media make it hard to have a constructive dialogue about the war or its cause. I am very concerned that the conversation today is by polarized groups who selectively tell facts to fit their preconceived ideas about Iraq, and they don’t even know it! There seem to be very few attempts to present the messier, confusing, often interwoven issues involved (as I know that Seven Days did with “Long Distance Operators,” May 10, to their credit). Clearly the people who designed the panel at Middlebury were not looking to encourage dialogue. But I think that Ken Picard could have found other families and soldiers to flesh out his story, instead of making it look like a propaganda piece for one side. Mindy Evnin SOUTH BURLINGTON

Evnin’s son, Marine Corporal Mark Evnin, was killed in Iraq on April 3, 2003. MORE LETTERS >> 23A

SOUTH ROYALTON — The United States may be fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the activists who attended a recent meeting of the South Royalton chapter of the John Birch Society warn there’s a critical battle being waged here at home. They claim the U.S. is threatened by illegal immigrants. An estimated 11 million immigrants reside in the U.S. illegally; more than 2000 of them work on Vermont’s dairy farms. Both the House and the Senate recently passed controversial — and possibly irreconcilable — bills proposing immigration reform. On May 1, a million people nationwide, including more than 200 Vermonters, took to the streets to support illegal immigrants. Mayor Bob Kiss even suggested turning Burlington into a sanctuary city, where such persons would be safe from prosecution. The anti-Communist JBS voices the flip side of that supporting border debate, fences, the deployment of troops to beef up security, and deportation of anyone who enters the U.S. illegally. Founded in 1958, the JBS is best known for its opposition to the civil rights movement, and for its “Get the U.S. Out of the United Nations” campaign. The latter stance is explained in the history section of the JBS website: “. . . there is indeed a ruling elite — operating in our federal government and permeating many of our commercial, social, educational and religious institutions — laboring to merge the U.S. into a Soviet-style one-world tyranny under the United Nations.” Statements like that have alienated the JBS from mainstream conservatives, who consider it a radical fringe organization. The JBS has also been widely ridiculed and demeaned by left-wing cultural icons such as Bob Dylan, who penned the song, “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues.” Its membership has waned over the years; there were once three chapters in Vermont, but now just one survives, with barely a dozen members, according to chapter leader Grant Lester Corwin II. Seven of them showed up for the Thursday night meeting in the South Royalton High School library. But the JBS hopes to gain traction among Vermonters frustrated by illegal immigration. It’s rallying its troops to oppose any kind of compromise on immigrant amnesty. Corwin brought Massachusetts-based JBS coordinator Harold Shurtleff to South Royalton to outline the society’s campaign. Corwin opened the meeting by playing “The Star Spangled Banner” on a piano, while the Birchers sang along. They then recited the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a prayer “in Christ’s name,” from JBS member Stuart Skrill. The group’s motto, after all, is “Less government, more

responsibility and — with God’s help — a better world.” After the prayer, Corwin introduced Shurtleff. The tall, thin Massachusetts man opened with a couple redneck jokes à la Jeff Foxworthy, which seemed incongruous with his buttoned-down shirt and polka-dot tie. Shurtleff complained that illegal immigration is ruining this country. The Senate bill, he said, is “a death wish.” He urged the group to call their legislators, write letters to the editor, and

Malkin. In a March 31 entry devoted to Malkin’s Fox News appearance the day before, the Media Matters website cautions that this rhetoric is in fact more popular among white supremacists than among immigrants themselves. And the conspiracy deepens — ultimately, the villains in the JBS film aren’t the revolutionaries at all, but the people allegedly behind them: organizations like the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations and the Council on

Do you want this to become a Third World country? Because that’s where we’re headed. JBS COORDINATOR HOWARD SHURTLEFF

circulate petitions to oppose it. He affirmed that the JBS sympathizes with immigrants who arrive legally; he pointed out that his ancestors were immigrants, too — they came from England in 1634. It’s the illegals the JBS doesn’t like, he explained. Shurtleff spoke of gazing out of his Hyde Park window at the street below and seeing a crowd of foreigners. “It looks like our little shopping community has become a Third World marketplace,” he lamented. “Do you want this to become a Third World country? Because that’s where we’re headed.” Shurtleff also dissed “Mexifornia,” and Mexican president Vicente Fox — “You know that guy is lying just by looking at him,” he said. Then he introduced “Trespassing Allowed,” a video the JBS produced for its immigration reform campaign. The tape showed footage of dark-skinned people wading across a river and scurrying beneath a fence — ostensibly crossing the border — to an ominous soundtrack. According to the JBS, the problem isn’t just that illegal immigrants are living in this country; it’s that they want to take over. “America is at risk of being transformed through invasion,” boomed the deep-voiced narrator. The same voice charged that radical Aztlan revolutionaries are flocking to the Southwestern states in a bid to reclaim them as a tribal homeland. The film implies that this movement has widespread support among illegal immigrants. The nonprofit Media Matters for America rebuts this argument, which has also been made by right-wing pundit Michelle

Foreign Relations. The film claims these groups seek to integrate the country “in a global Socialist regime.” After the film, Shurtleff insisted that members of the Council on Foreign Relations, a non-partisan international-issues think tank, seek through free-trade agreements to erase our borders, merge our military with that of Canada and Mexico, and destroy the U.S. Constitution. He pointed out that the CFR has infiltrated the Bush administration — not surprising, since its diverse membership includes American scholars, businesspeople and politicians of all stripes who have experience or show promise in the field of international affairs. At the conclusion of Shurtleff’s presentation, Corwin grabbed a copy of Shadows of Power, a book about the Council on Foreign Relations that the JBS offers for sale. He encouraged the group to flip through the list of CFR members to identify its enemies. “We have one right here in town,” Corwin informed the crowd. He was referring to Maximillian Kempner, a committee chair of the Conservation Law Foundation and the former dean of Vermont Law School. Reached by phone on Memorial Day, Kempner responded, “Immigration policy involves a number of interests: keeping our society and economy vibrant, protecting the rights of all within our borders, and enforcing the laws. It is appropriate that Congress is considering these issues. As for my being an ‘enemy’ because I am a member of the Council on Foreign Relations,” he adds, “I assure you that I do not consider myself an enemy of any of my neighbors.” m

BURLINGTON — Voters rejected a plan in March 2005 to move the Greater Burlington YMCA to the Moran Plant on Burlington’s Waterfront, but Y President and CEO Tim Rollings says that doesn’t change the fact that the athletic club still needs to move somewhere. And soon. Several Y members have contacted Seven Days recently to report that the Y will be moving into the former Specialty Filaments building on Pine Street. Are the locker-room rumors true? Rollings confirms that the organization is investigating the site. The Y has looked at more than 40 others so far, but Rollings sounds optimistic about the former manufacturing building. “It’s a great space,” he says. “It’s close to [downtown], it’s on a busline, a

bike path.” And, he adds, there’s plenty of parking and dropoff/pick-up space. As of now, he’s unable to say if or when the Y might move. “My timeline would be tomorrow,” he says. “But there’s a process.” That process includes consultations with lawyers and architects to see if the site is suitable for a health club. Rollings has already been on a walk-through of the 103,000 square foot space. Not that the Y would get all of it — Doug Nedde, partner and owner of Redstone, which acquired the property in March, confirms that the company is “negotiating a potential sale” of 61,000 square feet to the Y. Redstone recently sold 48,000 square feet on the southern end to Lake Champlain Chocolates.

GOT YOUR MONTHLIES? Step aside, dads, grads and grooms. June is also: National Dairy Month — Celebrate by attending the Strolling of the Heifers Parade and Festival in Brattleboro on June 3. National Rose Month — The website Rose Gardening 101 offers suggestions for how to celebrate: “Give a rose plant to a nearby nursing home,” and “Begin a garden blog to celebrate your rose garden.” National Hernia Awareness Month — The website for the Hernia Resource Center warns: “A hernia can be both seen and felt. You may notice it as a lump in your abdomen or groin that may or may not disappear when you lie down. You also may be aware of a dull aching sensation that becomes more pronounced when you are active.” National Audiobook Month — What better time for Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library to wrap up its “literary classics rescue” series, a fundraising read-aloud to promote a hands-free experience with great books? The heady selection for June 2: a memorable taste of Marcel Proust’s Swann’s Way. National Accordion Awareness Month — Established in 1989 to celebrate the underrated keyboard and reed instrument. It’ll be a bit of a hike to attend the 16th annual Accordion Festival in San Francisco, but find time to celebrate your local squeezemasters. National Gay Pride Month — The gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities traditionally hold pride parades in the month of June, though Burlington’s will occur this year on the first weekend in July. The celebrations commemorate the Stonewall riots, a series of confrontations between GLBT bar patrons and police, the first of which occurred on June 27, 1969 outside Manhattan’s Stonewall Inn.

Are there any environmental concerns with converting a space formerly used to manufacture plastic bristles into a health club? The property went through a “Phase One” and a “Phase Two” environmental review when Redstone bought it, according to Nedde. “The building is clean,” he says. Before it puts down a deposit, the Y will also have to assess whether they can raise enough cash to refit the space. Rollings doesn’t want to talk numbers, but it would certainly be costly. However, Rollings insists that some kind of expense will be necessary to solve the current facility’s serious drop-off and accessibility issues. “The Y makes no secret that we struggle here,” he says. “It’s a difficult building.” Their current 50,000-squarefoot space was originally designed as a boarding house; at one time, the Y was one of the largest hotel chains in the country. The building has been refitted to house two swimming pools, a gym, classrooms and workout rooms, but it still has 34 staircases, with 400 steps. Rollings calls it “an accessibility nightmare.” And many of its facilities are improvised and outdated. “Our cardiovascular training area is in a former squash court,” Rollings notes. “Our exercise room is in a racquetball court.” The gym is so old he suggests donating it to the Smithsonian when the Y finally moves. As bad as that sounds, the city’s only health club with a gym and pools is popular among a broad cross-section of people who want to work out downtown. In fact, other communities — Winooski, for example — are wooing the Y to open satellite branches. The Y already operates 23 childcare facilities around Vermont, and is the state’s largest child care provider. Rollings says that program is a model for how a satellite operation might work. But he points out that building additional Ys will probably have to wait until after the one on College Street moves. He offers an analogy: “It’s like buying the summer house when the roof is leaking at your primary residence.” m

FORT MONTGOMERY

For Sale: Historic New York Site BY CATHY RESMER PHOTOS COURTESY OF ROGER & DOUG HARWOOD

ROUSES POINT, N.Y. — Buyers looking for unique lakefront property may have trouble topping this one: On May 6, Victor Podd of Boca Raton, Florida, put the ruins of Fort Montgomery on the market. Only don’t look for a “For Sale� sign in front of the locked metal gate that blocks access to the property — a tiny island in Lake Champlain, at Rouses Point, that houses a 19th-century stone structure. This beauty’s available only on eBay. Podd’s father bought the fort and some adjacent land in 1983 to establish the headquarters of his bulk shipping company, Powertex. The company offices now sit about a quarter of a mile from the fort’s access road. Podd says his family is selling the fort and 279 additional acres on the mainland to concentrate its efforts on the business. Bidding for the fort began at $250,000. By 5 p.m. Monday, it was up to $5 million. The auction ends June 5, though Podd says he’s willing to make a deal before then if the price is right. He won’t name the amount of the eBay reserve, the minimum bid that would guarantee a sale, but says it’s under $10 million. Whoever forks over the cash better have more on hand. Regardless of what the buyer decides to do with the site — its auction page says it’s approved for use as a bank, marina or funeral home, among other things — he or she will undoubtedly need to do some work on the Fort itself. It’s not a complete structure; during the Great Depression roughly 80 percent was torn down as part of a public works project and used to build the bridge to Vermont. The walls that remain have reportedly been severely vandalized. And if they’re not reinforced soon, they’re in danger of sliding into the lake. The fort’s auction page shows pictures of the structure, which can be viewed from the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge connecting Vermont and New York. Access to the fort itself is prohibited. Still, the structure’s stark stone walls, rising abruptly from the lake, attract the attention of passers-by. Jennifer Theoret, the “travel ambassador� who staffs the visitor’s center across the lake in Alburgh, Vermont, says she gets questions about the fort six or seven times a week from visitors wondering what the heck it is. Theoret, who grew up in Alburgh, would like to see the fort turned into an historical site. “This was a very, very impressive fort,� she insists, pointing out its location adjacent to the Canadian border. “At one time, Lake Champlain was called the key to the continent. And this,� she says, pointing on a map to the channel between Rouses Point and Vermont, “is the door.� But if Fort Montgomery is such an important site, why has it been abandoned, vandalized, and

If For t Montgomery is such an important site, why has it been abandoned, vandalized, and put up for sale on eBay? put up for sale on eBay? Historian James Millard suggests it’s because the location has long been confused with another nearby fort, nicknamed “Fort Blunder.� Millard, a South Hero resident who works in the Information Technology Department at St. Michael’s College, is writing a book about Fort Montgomery. On the website America’s Historic Lakes — www.historiclakes.org — he explains that the U.S. began work on the site in 1844. But it wasn’t far from an earlier fort, which was in fact built on Canadian soil and was never completed. That project was viewed as a mistake. Millard claims people have always wrongly associated it with Fort Montgomery. Consequently, Millard says, Fort Monty “has had nothing but a string of bad luck as long as it’s been in existence.� When the Podds tried to donate the property to the State of New York in the 1980s, the state turned them down. On his Fort Montgomery information page, he describes the structure as a well-built example of a Third System fortification, complete with a moat. “No expense was spared in its construction,� he writes. Though the fort was never fully staffed, it was armed; at one point it held 74 large guns protecting the country’s northern border. “My big worry,� he says, “is that someone is going to go out there, take a good look at it, and say, ‘The only way I could afford to do this is to take it down.’� That would be a shame, he says. “There’s enough there, in my view, to clean it up, make it safe, put a little museum there. It could tell a wonderful story.� m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Sudden Chill in the Air

E

ven on the west coast of Vermont, in beautiful Burlington, one can feel the chill this week blowing across the mountains from St. Johnsbury. And we’re not talking about the arch-conservative editorial page of the Caledonian Record. No, we’re talking about the scheduled visit to St. Johnsbury on Monday by the man many consider the blackest “black hat” to serve in what is euphemistically called the U.S. “intelligence” community in the last 25 years. You may recall that the 1979 Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua was followed closely in the politically conscious Green Mountains. Dictator Anastasio Somoza had few friends around here. Many Vermonters supported the Sandinistas. In the early 1980s, then-Burlington Mayor Bernie Sanders was even an invited guest of honor at ceremonies in Managua marking one of the revolution’s anniversaries. At the time, John Negroponte was the U.S. ambassador to Nicaragua’s northern neighbor, Honduras. Honduras was the home base and staging area for the Contras, a secret, U.S.-financed army that waged a guerrilla war against liberated Nicaragua. Thousands of civilians were slaughtered. with President Ronald Reagan’s blessing. A very dark time it was. Today, after serving under Dubya as ambassador to both Iraq and the U.N., Negroponte sits at the very top of the mad, mad world of U.S. government-sanctioned spying. He is the first person to hold the title “United States Director of National Intelligence.” He is cited as the man responsible for the recent resignation of CIA Director Porter Goss. Next Monday, Negroponte will be the graduation speaker at St. Johnsbury Academy. His son is graduating. SJA is a prestigious day and boarding school that also accepts local kids. It’s known for offering a very good education — a good, conservative one. A visit to SJA’s website, in fact, reminds yours truly of our high school. Educational rigor and discipline appear to count big at SJA. At http://www.stjohnsburyacademy.org we learned that among the items posted Tuesday in the high school’s online Daily Bulletin are a directive to next year’s calculus students to pick up the summer assignment and a notice that “There will be detention after Last Chapel on Wednesday at 3:15 in C308.” As we dug a little deeper, we discovered many of the locals are afraid of their own detention if they publicly speak out against the graduation speaker. No members of the North Country Coalition for Justice and Peace would talk with us for attribution. We sensed an octave of fear in their voices we haven’t heard recently. This despite the fact that the group of aging World War II veterans and former Vietnam-era hippies put an ad in the Caledonian Record last week calling SJA’s choice for graduation speaker “shameful.” “Inside Track” has learned that members of the loose-knit peace group split over whether to distribute a letter to the capand-gown crowd at Monday’s event. So the letter will be handed out under the new

name of “Vermont Citizens for a Free and Representative Democracy.” Obtained by “Inside Track,” the letter recounts Negroponte’s record in Honduras and elsewhere. It states: “We urge you to lend a critical ear to your speaker and the advice he may offer. Mr. Negroponte may glorify the U.S. policies that he was instrumental in creating and imposing, but it is your generation that will live with the results of these policies and will need to create solutions.” SJA Headmaster Tom Lovett told “Inside Track” that he does not expect a political speech on Monday from the United States’ Grand Guru of Spying. “Certainly,” said Lovett, “St. Johnsbury Academy is not making any kind of political statement” by having Negroponte as graduation speaker. He told us that the ambassador had first been invited to speak at the school way back when his kid enrolled. Previous graduation speakers, he said, include former Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee, Allan Gilmour, former vice-chairman of Ford Motor Company, and Gov. Jim Douglas. Lovett conceded the school has never before had a speaker with Negroponte’s international and political celebrity. As for protests at the campus, located in downtown St. Johnsbury, Headmaster Lovett noted the academy “takes itself seriously as a place to prepare people to participate in a democracy.” He emphasized that “free speech” and “protest” are part of democracy. However, protesters “will not be allowed on school property” during Monday’s graduation.

and more fire trucks, tractors and politicians, but there was something really sweet about Middlebury when cars are banned on Main Street. The Montpelier-based Catamount Pipe Band played the tunes and Gov. Douglas and his lovely wife led the march, along with U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, the featured speaker at the post-parade ceremony on the town square. In his brief remarks, Vermont’s Independent discarded the usual political rhetoric to honor the “more than 2400 Americans killed in Iraq” — 24 from Vermont — and “the more than 18,000 wounded.” “We live in a democracy and we are proud of that,” said Sanders. “And in a democracy, honest people, honest members of Congress, disagree on where we should be going as a nation.” There are “differences of opinion,” said Ol’ Bernardo, over our invasion of Iraq and what we do now. “That’s what happens in a democracy,” he said, “and we should not demean that process. We should be proud of those differences of opinion.” Sanders struck the right chord, and the crowd outside Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater acknowledged its approval with applause. “While we differ on the war in Iraq, I would hope very much that there are no differences of opinion about the respect that we owe to the men and women who are fighting, and the fact that we cannot turn our back on our soldiers, whether in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, World War II or Korea, when they come home.” Ol’ Bernardo ended his remarks with something different — a kind of Bernie prayer. It was a prayer that reflected one constant in the lifetime of this 64year-old political warrior. “When we talk about the sacrifices made by so many for our country,” said Sanders, “I hope that we also remember and pray that the day will come, sooner rather than later, when we will turn our swords into ploughshares, and the day will come when peace will finally arrive on our planet.” Fat chance of that, eh? His main rival in the November U.S. Senate race, Republican Richard Tarrant, marched behind a campaign banner; his campaign aides, decked out in Tarrant ware, distributed candidate stickies and free American flags to those lining the parade route. Campaign Manager Tim Lennon drove the SUV, which was packed with more flags. Hey, man, if you’ve got it, spend it! Giving out flags on Memorial Day is a nice gesture. We noticed over at the city cemetery they had left out a supply of free flags, in case they’d missed a veteran’s grave by mistake. That’s what the

“Inside Track” is a weekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Peter Freyne, email freyne@sevendaysvt.com.

day is about, and we all know someone who didn’t come home. Richie Tarrant, however, went one step further in his first Memorial Day parade as a political candidate. Attached to the flag sticks was an ingenious, index-card-sized document with Tarrant’s campaign logo and the legally required “Paid for by Tarrant for Senate, Inc.” There was also a statement thanking people “for joining us” in honoring our veterans “and celebrating Memorial Day by proudly displaying the American flag.” Then the document states that Tarrant is “the candidate for U.S. Senate who will vote to protect the flag.” Whew, what a relief! “Inside Track” later asked Campaign Manager Lennon if that statement reflects Tarrant’s support for any particular piece of pending congressional legislation regarding a constitutional amendment? Mr. Lennon replied that it merely reflected that Tarrant “is against flag-burning.” He was not aware that Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has promised to make banning gay marriage and flag-burning top Senate issues in the coming month. And though the free Tarrant flags did not indicate where the flags were manufactured, Mr. Lennon assured us they were “made in America.” Heck, there are 50 states to choose from. Health Care Reform? — Despite the songs of praise being sung by GOP Gov. Jim Douglas and Democratic legislative leaders such as Speaker Gaye Symington and Senate Prez Peter Welch, the Vermont Progressive Party has not jumped on the back-slapping victory bandwagon. In fact, we haven’t noticed any regular folks expressing their joy or relief that Montpelier made significant strides this session to improve their health or their budgets. Haven’t heard anyone cheering that the Democrats delivered on their number-one 2004 campaign promise, either. Maybe that’s because they didn’t? According to a statement from the HQ of Vermont’s third “major” political party, “This year’s conversation about health care began with a handicap. The governor defined the goal as ‘access to insurance’ rather than access to equitable, affordable care for all. And somehow the legislature fell into his trap. Important policy alternatives were ‘off the table’ from the start of the discussion.” Good point. Rather than a move towards simplification, the Prog Party missive suggests the SymingtonWelch-Douglas Team has produced “a new program requiring separate, complicated rules. And we have the perpetuation of an usthem system that we have already seen up close in the various teacher strikes throughout the state.” And more and more Vermont property-tax payers will see it up close again in the contact negotiations and strikes of the future, eh?

But the Progressive Party makes the case that “the most distressing piece of this bill” is, this health-care-reform legislation merely creates another new insurance product that the Progressives say “will be marketed like CocaCola and Barbie dolls.” “Blue Cross/Blue Shield continues to pay for television commercials hawking their wares. Their business is selling insurance, and the state has just increased their product line.” How progressive! Enviro Peace — Last week, the environmental group Gov. Jim Douglas hates — the Conservation Law Foundation — along with the nation’s second-largest Big Box chain, surprised everyone as they announced an agreement to build the proposed Lowe’s Home Center in South Burlington. They’re not only going to protect but but improve the local environment. Amazing! We thought big box chains and tree huggers were incapable of getting on the same page. We thought wrong. And in this business vs. environment dispute, who comes off looking as useful and effective as the proverbial tit on a bull? Jim Douglas, that’s who. Gov. Scissorhands, who suffers stomach upset at the mere mention of the Conservation Law Foundation, did not have a seat at the negotiating table on this baby. But you can bet he’ll make the grand opening ribbon-cutting. Tarrant Faces Media — When your opponent, front-runner Bernie Sanders, is at 61 percent in the latest statewide poll and you’re at 24 percent, something’s got to change. And things did change for Senate hopeful Rich Tarrant last week. Mr. Press-Shy suddenly convened an openended, hour-long press conference at his Colchester HQ. It was the new, smiling, friendly Rich Tarrant — the wealthy political newcomer sat there prepared and determined to take every incoming missile until the Fourth Estate ran out. The first question was about his new policy position on Iraq, and that’s what caught the biggest headline. As reported here last week, Ol’ 24 Percent Tarrant now thinks it’s obvious to everyone that the U.S. invasion of Iraq was, in hindsight, a mistake. Distancing himself from the Bush war policy may have seemed a shockeroo to some, but let’s face it, folks, it was absolutely necessary. He is running, after all, in Vermont. And it was a little like old times, too. Seated in the back taking notes was a veteran Vermont political operative who for more than a decade was Gov. Howard Dean’s right hand: Kate O’Connor. Ms. O’Connor is now marketing the skills she honed with Ho-Ho to a rookie Republican with very deep pockets. Lucky Kate, eh? m

For a minute there I thought I had the perfect solution — castration! No more shaving, and as a bonus you don’t go bald and are happy to ask for driving directions when lost. However, on calmer consideration I realized that while castration prevents the development of male sex characteristics, it generally doesn’t reverse those you’ve already got, facial hair in your case apparently being one. So we’re forced to turn to plan B, namely the topical treatments you refer to, which unfortunately are just as likely to involve a lot of pain, money and fuss. Temporary chemical hair-removal products like Nair — depilatories, they’re called — can dissolve some of the hair on your face, but they’re primarily intended to remove the relatively lightweight hair of women. One male Straight Dope staffer has tried several such products on his face and been disappointed with the results, claiming he saw pretty much no hair removal and got a serious headache from the fumes. Beard hair often won’t respond to topical treatments before the skin becomes too irritated to continue. (Some depilatories are marketed to men as a means of fighting razor bumps — ingrown whiskers that can interfere painfully with shaving — but anecdotal evidence suggests they don’t always work so well in this role either.) Vaniqa (eflornithine hydrochloride), an increasingly popular prescription ointment, is said to suppress facial hair growth in women, but it’s not recommended for men, and even among women doesn’t appear to have an especially high rate of effectiveness. What else can you do if you’re determined not to shave? A local hair-removal expert told me some men have tried facial waxing or sugaring (both techniques involve pouring on sticky stuff topped with a layer of fabric, then ripping the fabric off quickly, taking the goo and, ideally, the hairs with it), but generally this doesn’t work due to the thickness, depth and tenacity of the roots. Some hardy individuals pluck their beards, but as beard hairs typically number in the hundreds per square inch, well, making any serious progress becomes a real test of manhood. Worse, none of these methods is permanent — you’re simply accelerating the hairs’ normal growth cycle, in which old ones fall out and are replaced by new ones pushing up from below. While plucking will eventually damage hair follicles, men who’ve tried it estimate the regrowth rate at something like 98 percent. That leaves electrolysis, laser treatment or a combination of the two. Electrolysis has been around for more than a century and can achieve nearly 100 percent permanent removal if done by a skilled practitioner. The drawback with using it on beards, I’m told, is that it

hurts like hell — any prior belief that big boys don’t cry will be sorely tested by this procedure. Anesthetics are available and a gradual course of treatment can help spread out the pain, which may be a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. I don’t recommend home electrolysis kits — due to user inexperience, they tend to have low permanence plus increased risk of burns, skin lesions, scarring and infection. Laser treatment is a popular choice for permanent beard removal, offering the advantages of speed, less pain and few complications if done properly. But the effectiveness of laser is highly dependent on your hair and skin type. Some people can get close to total permanent removal, but for those with red, light blond or white hair, deep roots, or thick, dark skin, permanent removal may require many treatments and in some cases may not be possible. Laser treatment carries a risk of severe burns, although the technicians I spoke to claim that this can be avoided by patient feedback, i.e., when it hurts, you scream. (No joke — a common problem, apparently, is that patients, not wishing to complain, don’t warn the technician when their skin is getting too hot.) Finally, laser is expensive: Permanent beard removal typically takes from six to more than a dozen treatments at a cost of anywhere from $50 to $300 per. Some experts recommend a mix of laser and electrolysis — laser to beat back the worst of the facial hair and thin out the roots, then electrolysis to finish the job. This is good for tough cases but can be even more expensive. Given these options, Dan, you might recall a story attributed to George Bernard Shaw: As a child he was watching his father shave one day and asked him why he did it. Shaw senior stopped, stared at his son, then threw his razor out the window, saying, “Why the hell do I?” Thereafter he grew a beard, an approach famously adopted by G.B. Maybe you should do the same. CECIL ADAMS

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS

Not-So-Tough Talk

Y

ou can imagine the depth of my emotion, I’m sure, when I read about the joint press conference given in Washington last week by our Fearless Fuehrer, George W. Bush, and his chief ally and co-conspirator in the “war on terror,� British Prime Minister and Quaking Quisling Tony Blair. Blair was in our nation’s capital for “talks� with the president — imagine how much fun those must be! Afterward, facing reporters, he appeared “dismayed and tongue-tied,� according to The New York Times. Well, why wouldn’t he? Thanks largely to the ongoing slaughter in Iraq, Blair’s “sagging� approval ratings among British voters are even more awful than Bush’s are here. Which is to say, in Brit-speak, they’re very awful indeed, and, in American lingo, they stink. Bush’s “favorable� figures are now in the 30-percent range, while Blair’s clock in at a mere 26 percent. If I may lapse for a moment into the language of advertisements aimed at teenaged boys, these numbers really suck.

The British have long been mystified by the tenacity with which Blair clings to his “special relationship� with a dunderheaded mass killer like Bush. “U.S. political commentators repeatedly voiced wonder at a world leader with worse ratings than George Bush,� said the Guardian of London. The paper further observed, “For once Bush had to come to the prime minister’s verbal rescue in the face of the skepticism of the British press corps,� inasmuch as Blair “looked weary and under pressure,� and as if “he would have preferred to be somewhere else.� The British have long been mystified by the tenacity with which Blair clings to his “special relationship� with a dunderheaded mass killer like Bush. But, unlike their American counterparts last week, the British media generally refrained from fawning, swooning and carrying on about the “subdued,� “repentant,� “almost remorseful� atmosphere in Washington at the latest Bush-and-Blair dog-and-pony show. “The news conference, in the formal setting of the East Room, was notable for the contrite tone of both leaders,� the Times proclaimed with due solemnity, adding that “in an unusual admission of a personal mistake, Mr. Bush said he regretted challenging insurgents in Iraq to ‘bring it on’ in 2003, and said the same about his statement that he wanted Osama bin Laden ‘dead or alive.’� To the amazement of the American press, Dubya had confessed that this was “kind of tough talk, you know, that sent the wrong message to people. I learned some lessons about expressing myself maybe in a little more sophisticated manner.�

Right. So sophisticated has Bush become in expressing himself that, when asked what he’d miss about Tony Blair when the British people finally give him the boot, he answered, “I’ll miss those red ties, is what I’ll miss.â€? As the Guardian noted, this was on a par with Bush’s first recorded comment about Blair, when they met at a Camp David summit in February 2001 and Bush was pressed to explain what he thought they might have in common. www.michaelheeney.com “Well,â€? he said, “we both use Colgate toothpaste.â€? Ha, ha, ha — what a card our president is!

ABC declared that lounge “some of the bold talk we once heard . . . is 86 St. Paul Street gone,â€? but neither Bush nor Blair gave the slightest sign that they intend to change 5/9/06 8:34:18 AM their mutual, assured course of destruction Untitled-8.indd 1 in Iraq and across the Middle East. On the contrary, after lauding Blair as “a man of resolve and vision and courage,â€? Bush made a point of saying, in that sophisticated way he has, “The amazing thing about dealing with Prime Minister Blair is, never once has he said to me on the phone, ‘We better change our tactics because of the Experience political opinion polls.’ You know?â€?

Curses, Foiled Again Los Angeles police investigating the hit-and-run deaths of two homeless men learned that the men had millions of dollars in life insurance. The policies had been taken out by Helen Golay, 75, and Olga Rutterschmidt, 72, who police said aroused suspicion because the men were run down right after the two-year waiting period to be eligible to collect on the policies had expired for both of them. • Police in Bentonville, Ark., said that Ashley Dawn Dover, 20, repeatedly tried to scan a credit card at the checkout of a Wal-Mart store to pay for a $120 purchase.

and noticed that the credit card was her own, stolen with her purse two days earlier. “The clerk looks up at her and says, ‘This is my stuff and I want it back,’” Police Chief James Allen said. “The suspect reaches in her purse, hands everything over and then runs out the door.” Police arrested Dover as she drove away.

Ball of Confusion When authorities arrested Shellie White, 30, who was wanted in Arizona for abducting her two children three years earlier, they said that she had been living with them in Roanoke Rapids, N.C., and posing as their father. She was so convincing, the Arizona Republic reported, that even the children believed she was their father. “After Ms. White was arrested,” a news release from the U.S. Marshals Service said, “her children, now aged 6 and 8,

He said that the ads displayed on waterproof blankets worn by the sheep violate a local law against roadside advertising. He also warned that farmers who rent out their animals would be fined $1250. Meanwhile, the company behind the ads, Easy Green Promotions, whose blankets have Velcro strips so clients’ messages can be changed, said that it hoped eventually to have 25,000 branded sheep, use horses and cows, and expand to France and Britain.

Lucky, Up to a Point Joseph Lewis Clark, 57, enjoyed an extra hour of life after his execution was delayed because one of his veins collapsed while he was receiving the lethal injection in his right arm. Clark sat up and told his executioners, “It’s not working.” The team fixed the problem and proceeded.

Human Pincushion When doctors examined a 33-year-old Oregon man who went to a hospital emergency room complaining of a headache, they found 12 nails, up to 2 inches long, embedded in his skull. According to a report in the Journal of Neurosurgery, the unidentified patient told doctors he had had an accident with a nail gun but later admitted he had tried to commit suicide. He was transferred to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, where doctors used needlenosed pliers and a drill to remove the nails. Neurosur-geon Dr. G.

Where’s a Wet Nurse When You Need One? In a report on the increase in the number of parents buying breast milk to feed their babies, the San Francisco Chronicle said that they are getting it from licensed banks, the Internet and strangers. Christine Bartels, 44, of Palo Alto, Calif., told the paper that she spent more than $25,000 to feed her adopted son for his first nine months, paying $3 an ounce for donated breast milk.

Senior Moment After a German cleaning company reported removing soggy bundles of bank notes from a blocked pipe in Kiel, investigators learned that a 64-year-old retiree had reported blocked pipes at his house the same day. Police said that when they visited the “slightly bewildered” man, he admitted flushing $18,900 in marks down the toilet because he mistakenly believed that since the euro was now the national currency, the marks “no longer had any value.”

Schoolteacherocracy Turkish authorities arrested an official of the ruling party while laying a wreath at a monument to the country’s founder, Kemal Ataturk, because he was chewing gum. Charged with insulting Ataturk’s memory, Veysel Dalci, 38, head of the local branch of the Justice and Development Party in Fatsa, told CNN Turk Television that he had been chewing gum to hide the smell of garlic during the ceremony and was “very sorry.”

fter two weeks of Biblical rain, it’s nice to be reminded why we live in Vermont, and this past weekend, some 300 hospitable artists, and seductively sunny skies, collectively did just that. It’s too early to know if the Vermont Craft Council’s Open Studio Weekend was a success for its participants — typically, some artists get a trickle of visitors, others a steady stream. In the latter camp, by her own report, was Fran Bull of Brandon. The former New Jersey resident — a painter, sculptor, theaterset designer and singer — has created her own slice of heaven on 200 acres in Vermont. Her lovely Gallery in-the-Field is just a year old, and to discover it is to be smitten. A bit north of town on Arnold District Road, the combination studio and gallery sits in the middle of, yes, a field, and its 360-degree pastoral view is unmarred by development — so far. Bull’s capacious studio and slightly smaller gallery are both graceful post-and-beam structures Ă la Monitor barn, a paean to and update on Vermont’s classic rural architecture. The height of the roofline and clerestory windows suggest “cathedral,â€? except the rooms are light, airy and white-walled. This is a place devoted to the glory of art, not religion. But two shrine-like structures in the wide entry/hallway invite genuflection: Salvaged wood dormers, about 4 feet tall, are fashioned into retables and painted metallic gold; each frames a rustic Madonna and Child made

Bull’s works convey the passion that Carmen director Doug Anderson was going for. In a written statement for the gallery, he explains: “I asked her for heat, sexuality, terror, raw beauty, tenderness and murder, sunsets and festivals . . . that inexplicable thing we’ll call Spain.â€? She delivered. Included in the exhibit are two eye-level rows of color stills from Carmen by Middlebury photographer Ernie Longey. A videotaped version plays on a TV screen, broadcasting Bizet’s emotive score throughout the building. Nearby, a mannequin models Carmen’s red-and-black costume, created by Debra Anderson; she’s positioned beside a baby grand piano, awaiting her aria — if only she weren’t headless. Middlebury-born soprano Meredith Parsons McComb played Carmen last year. She’ll have a different singing gig when the Opera Company of Middlebury puts on A Dinner Engagement in the gallery June 15 through 18. Bull, a mezzo-soprano, will also have a role in the comic opera by Sir Lennox Berkeley. Picnic lovers, take note: The grounds will be available before each performance, and those who don’t feel like making sandwiches can order gourmet boxed meals from Chef Robert Barral, of Brandon’s CafĂŠ Provence.

Bull created these structures, and the three enormous panels currently displayed in the gallery, for the set of Carmen produced last year by the Opera Company of Middlebury. The acrylic-and-ink paintings, approximately 11 feet high and 7 wide, look as if their dramatic colors — predominantly gold, fiery reds and black — were the results of explosions rather than brushstrokes. “I worked on all three at once on the floor of my studio,â€? reveals Bull. “I started with big rollers and added pigments to the wet ground . . . the paint kind of runs and pools and makes its own picture.

This multimedia presentation is a win-win for both the opera company — which needs alternative venues while Midd’s Town Hall Theater is under restoration — and Gallery in-the-Field. Undoubtedly a welcome facility in Addison County, the rooms can accommodate much more than two-dimensional exhibits. And Bull, gifted in music and visual arts, is an accommodating hostess for both. Back in her studio, she’s absorbed in a new project that could hardly be more different, called “A Hundred Howling Heads.� At the moment the work-in-progress consists of narrow, highly expressive faces, about 10 inches high, made with Crayola modeling material and mounted on wooden dowels. Though in various colors now, they will ultimately be painted to look like cast bronze, Bull explains, and given spindly bodies. “The idea is a Greek chorus, maybe wailing, maybe singing,� she says. “It has to do with lamentations for the time we’re in.� m

ook groupies are like bird watchers. We collect author sightings for a life list,” said Caroline DeMaio, Danville School librarian and former owner of Northern Lights Bookshop. She was speaking at the Vermont Library Association’s Celebration of Vermont Authors and Illustrators on May 16. One of DeMaio’s fondest memories from her bookselling days is a “sighting in the store of Toni Morrison, confirmed by her Mastercard.” Toni Morrison wasn’t at the VLA event. But for watchers of local literary plumage, it was an opportunity to expand their lists exponentially. The Celebration was the centerpiece of the organization’s annual two-day conference, held at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington. The Emerald Ballroom was lined on all sides with tables bearing name cards and exhibits. That was nothing unusual, except that the “wares” being hawked tonight were books, and the reps on hand to discuss them were local literary pros: close to 90 local authors and about a dozen illustrators. The event was closed to the public, giving the 570 Vermont librarians and others at the conference unprecedented access to the local writers whose books they order and recommend. Chandeliers sparkled on writers and librarians schmoozing over hors d’oeuvres and jostling for places at the chocolate fondue fountain. Several generations of Vermont creativity were on display. Franklin D. Reeve, the Wilmington professor and poet, was there, with the same patrician bone structure as his late son, Christopher. “If you’d read my book, you’d know that!” said Ann McKinstry Micou, whose encyclopedic Guide to Fiction Set in Vermont features biographical tidbits about Reeve and many others. Though the Vermont Humanities Council published the book last fall, Micou’s still hard at work updating her list of Vermont fictions. (See the link on http://www. vermontlibraryconference.org for a capsule version,) Katherine Paterson, the Barre author of young adult classics such as Bridge to Terebithia, was getting ready to fly to Sweden to receive the Astrid Lindgren Memorial award — a prestigious honor for lifetime achievement that comes with the hefty sum of 5 million Swedish krona, or about $640,000. She talked enthusiastically about her work with a literacy project in Venezuela, Leer para vivir, or Read to Live, which offers bibliotherapy to kids affected by the 1999 landslides. Younger writers, such as Sarah Stewart Taylor of Hartland, attended, too; her third Sweeney St. George mystery, Judgment of the Grave, was chosen as a Book Sense Notable last August. Taylor recalled writing for the Valley News while

she polished her first novel, O’ Artful Death, which took her two and a half years to sell. She wrote fiction from six to nine each morning, then went out and covered local events. “A friend told me to stick with journalism for three years,” she said. “After that, it’ll affect your style.” By the time the evening’s speeches got under way, some book folk were a bit giddy from the fruits of the cash bar. DeMaio kept the presentations from getting dry by turning them into the local equivalent of the “Night-Table Reading” column from Vanity Fair. She started by asking featured speaker Governor Jim Douglas what he’s reading these days. “My golly, I didn’t realize there would be a quiz here tonight!” the governor demurred. He confessed that his current fare was a compilation of the bills passed by the General Assembly — “I’m pretty swamped” — but put in a plug for a recent favorite, David McCullough’s 1776. An uncontroversial choice, no doubt, and Douglas polished his amateur historian’s credentials by pointing out that one of the nation’s first bestsellers was Ethan Allen’s captivity narrative. When it was Secretary of State Deb Markowitz’s turn to take the podium, she delivered a message to the assembled authors from her kids: “Thank you, because without you we’d be really bored.” Markowitz also made a confession: Her favorite genre is science fiction. Why? “I was a philosophy major,” Markowitz explained, then asked other sci-fi fans in the audience to raise their hands. “I had to get it off my chest,” she said, as if she’d just copped to an embarrassing personal habit on “Oprah.” Markowitz might be interested in Danville author Don Bredes’ current work in progress. It’s a “futuristic YA novel” in which peak-oil scenarios become reality, “fundamentalists take over the country, and the coastline sinks,” he said. Vermonters are likely to know Bredes as a mystery author — he received kudos from the New York Times last year for his dark Northeast Kingdom whodunit The Fifth Season, and his third Hector Bellevance mystery is already in the pipeline. Still, Bredes is no stranger to young adult fiction. In 1979, a year after he moved to Vermont, his YA novel Hard Feelings became a cause célèbre for its frank treatment of teenage sexuality. The book was challenged at school libraries, including the one at Lyndon Institute, and the Free Press covered the controversy. All this was a surprise to Bredes, who was “working as a waiter at Carbur’s on St. Paul Street in Burlington” when the book took off. With the proceeds — Hard Feelings was made into a film in 1981 — he bought land locally and

Kids today are still thinking about library censorship, though the offending topic is perhaps less likely to be sex than sorcery. Katelinn Jacavino, a senior at St. Johnsbury Academy, added a fresh perspective to the proceedings when she presented her senior project on book banning. “Kids have an imagination of their own, so does it really matter if we stop them from reading a book with magical things in it?” Jacavino asked, presumably referring to fundamentalist challenges to the ubiquitous Harry Potter saga. It was a good reminder of what librarians do for all of us — preserve a quiet space where imagination has free rein, and even state legislators can take time out from “serious” reading for a spot of quidditch. Also at the Celebration was Burlington author Marc Estrin, whose last novel was the darkly comic The Education of Arnold Hitler. Estrin’s next book, Golem

a man of “girth and compulsion” determined to wipe out antiSemitism, went on the back burner. Although Golem Song goes on sale November 10, Estrin’s publisher, Unbridled Books, is taking a novel step — it’s serializing the book online. For $8, you can read chapters as they’re posted at www. unbridledbooks.com; for $15.95, you get that plus a signed copy of the trade-paperback original. Three chapters are currently available. While delivery on the Web may be new, the serialization concept is old — most of Charles Dickens’ works appeared chapter by chapter in periodicals. Explaining the reasons for the May-to-November schedule, Unbridled co-publisher Fred Ramey tells us in his blog that “Golem Song, which is also about messiahs made of clay, opens on Passover and ends on Kristallnacht — November 9, the same day in history when the Berlin Wall fell.” He also hopes that “Maybe . . . serializing a novel on the Internet can take us back to an old, lost sense of literary anticipation.” m

LOST IN TRANSLATION? Why is it that the transsexual and the transgender get the same link in coverage [“Something for Everyone to Protest,” May 24]? They are different elements altogether, or might we consider those in the gay community to also be trans in gender moods or urges? Transgendered (TG): A term coined by Charles “Virginia” Prince, a married transvestite/cd and publisher of the magazine Transvestia. Although a transvestite who lived as a woman fulltime with his wife, he did not wish to be connected in any way with transsexual verbiage and did not understand their need to correct a medical anomaly. He is credited with coining the social construct “transgender” as a masking term that has become an umbrella label for many sexual variants and/or fetishists such as transvestites, she-males, gay or bi cross-dressers, drag-queens, autogynephilics, etc., and many transsexuals oppose the term being wrongly linked to them. Transsexual (TS): A person with a very strong and persistent desire to anatomically undergo sex reassignment surgery so as to meld their body with their accepted inborn mental gender and eliminate the incongruity. Some claiming to be transsexuals are obviously not, as reflected in the fluid statistics that estimate only 10 persons in 100 claiming to have the questionable gender identity disorder actually might be transsexuals and, of those, approximately 1 in 10 actually have sex reassignment.

HEAVY METAL Thank you for the article on lead poisoning [“Advocates Advise Legislators to Get the Lead Out,” May 3]. Last year, after my 1year-old was diagnosed with an elevated lead level, I became aware of risks not mentioned in your article. I want people to know that soil, air and water can all be contaminants. When I bought my house, I was planning to have a child. Like many people, I knew lead is in old paint and old water pipes (even newer ones sometimes have lead-based solder). According to what I knew, my new home was “clean.” I was shocked by my daughter’s blood test. The source of her contamination was probably the soil around my home. Several things contribute to this: old paint chips, fumes from leaded gasoline that have settled, old car batteries people sometimes bury, and an auto-body shop next door that continues to (legally) use leaded spray paint. When it is warm and dry, the wind picks up contaminated dust particles and we are exposed to ambient lead in the air. This is true throughout

Burlington and is worse in bigger cities. As a temporary solution, I covered my lawn with six inches of topsoil and new sod. Over time, lead sinks and the earth can reabsorb it. In the meantime, dust from my neighbors’ lawns can still blow onto mine and in my windows. Ideally, we could cap off everyone’s lawn. The cost of this would be huge. It is clear, however, that the cost of elevated lead levels in our children is higher. Rachel Frida Siegel

LADIES’ TUNES Hear me now — what’s with the hiring committee at Burlington’s Discover Jazz Festival? Not one featured woman instrumentalist on the main stage? We do get two female singers, however . . . Holy Toledo! I think I feel a déjà-vu coming on! Do you perhaps think that Vermont is populated by men only? Well, I have news for you — there are men, women, boys, and girls that would be delighted and inspired to hear the genius of women instrumentalists and composers fighting against all odds to get their music out there in this disgustingly male-dominated, competitive music scene. I think they might even be willing to pay money to hear such a concert. (With more extensive research, I noted that you did manage to slip in two free outdoor events which feature instrumentalists Jennifer Hartwick and Ellen Powell. Sorry fellas — that’s not enough!) This is what needs to happen: 1. A public letter of apology to the greater Burlington community for this gross chauvinistic oversight. 2. A pledge to make amends by tipping the scale equally with next year’s programming. How about all-female instrumental/ bandleader headliners and local openers, with two token male singers? They’re out there. Do the homework! 3. In future years, you could consider giving affirmative action preference to your big, famous male artists who are evolved enough to include women as instrumental performers in their groups. Get the word out now (slip it in with this year’s paycheck), so that way they can start advertising immediately! Something has got to be done! Have you ever heard the word “boycott?” Emily Lanxner

THE OTHER TV GUIDE

End Times

A

ll good things must come to an end. So must all middling, thoroughly ghastly and entirely unwatchable things. And this is the time of year when they do. April may be the cruelest month, but May is far and away the endingest. It hasn’t always been this way, of course. I remember a time when television shows slinked into the summer rerun season. If anything, the networks played down the fact that viewers were doomed to rehashed programming until September. Hey,

I really wish Maury Povich’s show would stop forever, but even pausing for the summer would represent real progress. I’ve always wondered why he married Connie Chung and not Sally Jesse Raphael; the two of them have so much more in common. Lately a lot of Povich’s shows have had a paternity-test theme. Undereducated, financially challenged and stupendously promiscuous young women actually agree to join him on the air to find out whether the guy they believe to be

writers and rips into them. Lord knows there’s been enough — Frey, Jayson Blair, JT Leroy, Navajo novelist Nasdijj, columnist Harmon Leon and teen Harvard plagiarist Kaavya Viswanathan — for a twohour special. I’d like to prescribe a nice, long vacation for Dr. Phil, too. And since he’s basically an “Oprah” spin-off, I say we kill two birds with one stone and just have him appear on her season finale, playing shrink to all those literary fibbers.

asking people questions. These two intellectual titans should take a summer break, and the perfect way to send them off would be a special in which they interview each other. Can you imagine the level of discourse? They might achieve a critical mass of dullness and turn to solid stone. I’d like to see if that would happen. My last dream finale concerns scam-artist Kevin Trudeau’s omnipresent infomercial for his book Natural Cures They Don’t Want You to Know About. By now you’ve no doubt come across this hundreds of times. I know I have, and I can’t change the channel fast enough. Not just because I’ve seen it so many times, but because Trudeau is a lying,

In the past few weeks, a record number of Americans have tuned into a record number of season wrap-ups.

that was life. New programming in the summertime was as unthinkable as flowers blossoming in February. All that’s changed in recent years, as the number of broadcast outlets and competition between them have increased dramatically. These days, shows don’t just go away for the summer. They first build toward a longawaited, breathlessly anticipated Season Finale. Networks save final episodes for the sweeps period and market them as major events. What used to rouse audience resentment is now greeted with excitement: Can you believe it — just one more week ’til the final vote on “Idol”! Actually, I’m taping that and watching the season finale of “Lost”! In the past few weeks, a record number of Americans have tuned into a record number of season wrapups. We’ve bid temporary farewells to everything from “American Idol” to “What About Brian,” and said goodbye forever to “Malcolm in the Middle,” “That ’70s Show” and “Will and Grace.” We’ll miss those last three. Except, you know, while we’re watching them around the clock in syndication. All the season sayonaras have gotten me thinking: That’s an awful lot of TV shows to suddenly come to an end. And yet there are so many more I wish would follow their example. Here are a few programs I’d like to see take the summer off, along with some helpful suggestions as to their suitable season finales:

the father of their child actually is. You should see the look on the exboyfriend’s face when it turns out he’s not the daddy. You’d think he had just played “Wheel of Fortune” and walked off with the cash prize and a couple of cars. This is extremely demeaning to the young women, and yet more of them keep signing up. I think Maury should have a finale on which all the female guests from the past season’s paternity shows come back and have fun with his medical records. He’s like, what, 80? I bet he’s had loads of work done. Looking at those records might be good for a laugh. His prostate X-rays alone could make for must-see TV. Can you say colonoscopy cliffhanger? “Oprah” is another nonstop cathode juggernaut I wouldn’t mind seeing slow down, smell the roses and go away for a rest. I know it’s practically blasphemous to say, but she rubs me the wrong way. Her attitude is way too Up With People for my tastes. Plus, who died and made her the conscience of a nation? I remember when talk-show hosts just bantered entertainingly with guests. The one fun thing Oprah did this year was invite James Frey on the show and then sandbag him for making her look bad because she had recommended his book to millions of viewers. I’d definitely tune into an “Oprah” season finale where she rounds up a roomful of disgraced

I don’t know whether you’ve noticed, but there isn’t any news on television anymore. There are headlines here and there, and now and then the announcement of poll results, but almost none of the “news” operations investigate, analyze and report like they used to. From “The Today Show” to CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now,” everything is a chatty, never-ending blur of puff pieces, lifestyle features, entertainment reports and bird-flu updates. Edward R. Murrow must be spinning. I find it particularly disappointing that NBC’s “Dateline” has been allowed to degrade to a borderlinetabloid embarrassment. The show’s producers have devoted air time lately to segments in which Internet predators are caught, “Candid Camera”-style, in the act of hooking up with what they believe to be an underage girl or boy at home alone. Entitled “To Catch a Predator,” the segments are hosted by award-winning correspondent Chris Hansen, who’s covered everything from 9/11 to the war in Iraq, but has now been reduced to asking middle-aged men, “What were you planning to do here?” Don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying the existence of Internet predators isn’t a bad thing. It just isn’t news. I’d love to see a “Predator” finale in which the middle-aged men ask Hansen in return what he’s doing there, when he ought to be producing real journalism. I can’t believe that Larry King and Tony Danza both make a living by

scum-sucking con artist, and it annoys me that he’s not bunking with a large fellow behind bars. The guy has built an info-empire worth billions by bilking the simpleminded. Touting himself as “the nation’s foremost consumer advocate,” he claims to offer drug-free cures for an array of major diseases — cures he suggests the pharmaceutical industry is trying to cover up. He’s sold more than three million copies of the book. Trudeau has also attracted the attention of the New York State Consumer Protection Board. Turns out they’re advocates, too, and they’ve issued an official warning to the public. They’ve also asked cable stations to pull ads for the book, something the agency has done just once before in its history. “His claims are particularly egregious,” stated the Board’s chairwoman, “because they prey on those with serious illnesses.” Meanwhile, Trudeau’s not even supposed to be behind bars. He paid a $2 million fine to the FTC last year for giving out misleading information about the health benefits of coral calcium. Terms of the settlement banned him from doing this sort of thing on TV anymore. And that followed fraud charges brought in connection to products he’s pushed in the past, such as Exercise in a Bottle, Fat Trapper Plus and the Mega Memory System. Trudeau is a bad man, and I’d like to see him take a good, long break from the airwaves. The perfect sendoff: a reunion show on which he is confronted by some of those three million people who spent money on the book instead of their meds. As a healer, Trudeau is 100-percent quack, but watching that would make me feel a whole lot better. m

he Northeast’s newest wilderness trail is also its oldest. But that’s not the only unusual thing about it. Instead of leading to craggy Green Mountain summits, it meanders almost haphazardly through farmlands, under bridges and around dams. Rapids, rather than ridgelines, take your breath away. And hiking shoes are about as useful here as high heels — the sinewy, 740-mile Northern Forest Canoe Trail demands a vessel, a paddle and a belief in time travel. The route is a network of rivers, streams and lakes stretching from Old Forge, New York, to Fort Kent, Maine, that passes through two countries, four states and 45 towns. First envisioned three decades ago as a retracing of Native American travel routes, the NFCT has finally taken shape, thanks to the work of

Northern Forest Canoe Trail, Inc. Other U.S. water trails — on the Maine coast, in the Florida Keys and in Washington State’s San Juan Islands — were developed by single entities. Henry and Center conceived the NFCT as something different: a grassroots, community-based effort built from the ground up. They spent the next two years reaching out to local and regional community and resource-development leaders who might be able to oversee the 13 sections of the trail, which are around 40 to 50 miles long and dotted with campsites every 10 to 12 miles. “The attempt was to engage experts in natural history and cultural heritage, and paddlers to contribute to a section map,â€? says Center. “That became the nucleus of our work in a section.â€? Center, Henry and other NFCT organizers also consulted Native American representatives, including Wiseman. He says the trail honors the spirit of pre-colonial travel. “When the Indians wrote out papers, direction wasn’t important; it was just lakes and rivers,â€? Wiseman says. “If the Abenakis were going to Moosehead Lake in Maine, for example, they’d basically follow what the Northern Forest Canoe Trail is today.â€? The NFCT’s 13 water- and tear-resistant maps are now available at the organization’s website and in outdoor shops and bookstores. Each is a comprehensive guide not only to the oxbows, bridges, waterfalls and dams on the riverine route but also to adjacent rail and hiking trails, museums, lighthouses, towns and wildlife refuges. In addition, the legend points to international checkpoints; another unique feature of the NFCT is the way it wiggles into Canada. “The border crossing is fun,â€? says Kate Williams, the NFCT’s executive director. “You just pull your boat over and walk up to the customs house.â€? Other parts can be a lot less jolly, especially for the inexperienced paddler. The Vermont and QuĂŠbec portion — which makes up 174 miles, or 23 percent, of the trail — features the often-hairy crossing of Lake Champlain, plus portages and unpredictable rivers. “The Missisquoi can be a fine, big, glassy snake, but it can also have a lot of water flowing,â€? says Williams. “Being on the water can be challenging; you need to know a lot of skills, how to read water — and everyone needs a lifejacket.â€? The NFCT has been compared to the Appalachian Trail, the 2175-mile hiking route from Georgia to Maine. But while thousands have been inspired to complete the entire AT in one summer, the NFCT may not have the same allure, partly because of the physical challenge. Before the

map project, plenty of paddlers knew about the NFCT, but only one — a Maine Outward Bound instructor named Donnie Mullen — is known to have “through-paddledâ€? the entire trail, in 2000. It took him 55 days. This summer, three fellow Mainers are also attempting a through-paddle. “Portages are the most difficult part of the trail so far,â€? one of them, Nicole Grohoski, writes in an online journal. “I mostly think about how different things would have been for the Native Americans before there were so many dams. Damn dams.â€? NFCT organizers expect most of the trail’s users will be day-trippers. “There are sections for whitewater junkies, but also sections where you can go stay at an inn and do easy paddles,â€? notes Williams. She’s explored kid-friendly portions of the trail with her two young children, who named their canoe the Green Fox after discovering a slew of fox dens along the Missisquoi. “I’m such a fan of canoeing with kids because they really can do more,â€? Williams says. “They’re not slogging along with a heavy pack.â€? With the maps published, Center and Henry’s next task is spreading the word to a wider audience. “There are people from MontrĂŠal, and 70 million people within a day’s drive south of the border who can come up to enjoy these water playgrounds,â€? says Center. “We just have to make it easy for them.â€? The maps mostly accomplish that task — the tougher job ahead, say Henry and Williams, is helping communities capitalize on the paddlers’ visits. “It’s a lot more than just a recreational resource,â€? says Henry. “It’s an economic development stimulant, it’s an opportunity to give people a sense of place. It’s become something that can grow to benefit both the traveler coming into the area and the people who live here.â€?

The NFCT is working with the University of Vermont to examine the potential economic impact of the trail. “Our hope is to create a baseline sense of use along the trail and how that might translate into dollars,� says Williams. On Saturday, celebrations take place in Newport, as well as Saranac Lake, New York; Groveton, New Hampshire; and Greenville, Maine. Newport’s festivities include a ceremonial mixing of waters to symbolize the multi-state nature of the trail, which aims not only to lead paddlers through the wilderness, but through the ages. “The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is a time-capsule experience passing through farmlands and wilds and the hearts of small towns,� says Center. “These waters were the main streets of these communities at one time.� m

With a new graphic memoir, cartoonist Alison Bechdel proves she’s more than just a Dyke to Watch Out For BY MARGOT HARRISON

g n i w a r Life D PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN

“People who write graphic novels are clinically insane,”says Alison Bechdel. The Bolton-based cartoonist, author of the nationally syndicated cult strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” is referring to her new book, Fun Home, a memoir of family art and artifice told in words and pictures. The complex tale deals with homosexuality in two generations, suicide, classic literature and life in a rural Pennsylvania funeral home. Fun Home is a departure for Bechdel. And the book has the potential to catapult her into the big time. A recent blurb in Time magazine called the book “brilliant” and “bleakly hilarious.” Bechdel scheduled her interview with Seven Days around photo shoots with People and Entertainment Weekly. She’s in the midst of a month-long national book tour. “I’m actually kind of envious of myself, if that’s possible,” says Bechdel. “I’m used to feeling underrated and bitter, so I’ve had to do some gear-shifting. Now I’m worried about being overrated.” For most of her 23-year career, Bechdel didn’t even have an agent. She handles her own syndication and published most of her 11 “Dykes to Watch Out For” compilations with Firebrand Books, a “one-woman publisher” in Ithaca, New York. In 2000, just as Bechdel was starting work on Fun Home, Firebrand ran into financial trouble and was sold off. The resultant “turmoil” gave Bechdel the impetus to seek and find an agent, who, she says, “had much higher sights for my work than I did.” The agent promptly sold the memoir proposal to Houghton Mifflin, which is pulling out all the stops to promote the book. Bechdel points out that Fun Home is the big-name publisher’s first “graphic novel” — a hot genre in the multimedia age, and one that’s finally getting critical respect. Technically, of course, it’s not a novel but a memoir, which means it may also appeal to the readers who made The Liars’ Club and Angela’s Ashes into best sellers.

This respectable citizen of a rural Pennsylvania town, a high school English teacher and third-generation funeral director, had a secret life in which he slept with male students and his children’s babysitter.

The publisher is probably also banking on the following Bechdel has developed through her comic strip. Since 1983, when “Dykes to Watch Out For” started as a set of single panels in a feminist newspaper in New York City, its audience has been steadily growing. Initially, the strip was a series of vignettes from urban lesbian life. In 1987, the strip began to read like a soap opera, if soap operas could be literate, lesbian and politically engaged. The true diversity of the characters, a matter not just of color and class but of ideology and temperament, kept sparks flying. Bechdel’s first book, a compilation of her cartoons, came out in 1986; she’s since published 10 more that have collectively sold a quarter of a million copies. The combination of royalties, syndication and profits from “Dykes” merchandise — she used to ship calendars, mugs and mouse pads out of her three-story home — have sustained her since 1991, the year she moved to Vermont. Today, “Dykes” runs in 50 gay and alternative papers, including Seven Days. Back in the ’90s, Universal Press Syndicate offered to carry “Dykes” if Bechdel would adapt it for more conservative audiences — starting by choosing a tamer title. She declined. But what fails to fly on a daily paper’s comics page may sell just fine on a bookshelf. Fun Home doesn’t hold back on lesbian

content — there’s one fairly graphic sex scene. It doesn’t hurt that Bechdel’s skills as a writer and artist have earned her considerable cred in the comics world. She’s garnered praise from underground comic legends like Harvey Pekar, of American Splendor fame, as well as their mainstream counterparts. Venerable Brookfield New Yorker cartoonist Ed Koren compares Bechdel to Garry Trudeau and calls “Dykes” “probably the best cultural strip around.” Most successful memoirs fall into the same general subject categories as episodes of Dr. Phil: Abuse, Addiction and Weird Families. While they can and often do offer complexity and catharsis unknown to daytime TV, they also appeal to our voyeuristic interest in other people’s secrets. Fun Home falls into the “weird family” category. The story pivots around Bechdel’s father, about whom we learn two vital things in the first chapter. The first is that this respectable citizen of a rural Pennsylvania town, a high school English teacher and thirdgeneration funeral director, had a secret life in which he slept with male students and his children’s babysitter. The second is that he stepped in front of a truck when he was 44 years old. While the townspeople chose to see his death as accidental, Bechdel — who was 19 at the time — strongly sus-

pects that it was actually a suicide. Though he was a perfectionist, whose painstakingly restored Gothic revival house enabled him to posture like an Appalachian Jay Gatsby, Bruce Bechdel was a flawed and mysterious human being. Besides the family secrets, the book offers an element of funeral-home chic. Fans of HBO’s “Six Feet Under” may notice some similar motifs in Fun Home. The title is the Bechdel children’s nickname for the family business, where their dad embalmed corpses when he wasn’t teaching Catcher in the Rye. As in the TV series, there’s a dead father, a gay child who comes out to the rest of the family, an imposing Victorian house and, of course, the corpses. When the show got big, Bechdel says her agent actually “wondered if somebody had overheard me telling my story in a coffee shop and lifted it.” That’s pretty much where the parallels with “Six Feet Under” end. Rather than generating story lines, the dead folks here serve to emphasize the family’s oddly detached approach to the world. In one sequence, Bechdel recalls her father showing her an opened corpse as if as a “test.” “The emotion I had suppressed for the gaping cadaver seemed to stay suppressed,” she writes. “Even when it was Dad himself on the prep table.” Fun Home is also a memoir of addiction, in a sense — “addic-

tion” to creative pursuits and the hermetic and obsessive-compulsive tendencies that often accompany them. In one panel, Bechdel cross-sections her childhood home to reveal each member of the family absorbed in his or her solitary obsession — herself drawing, one brother making model airplanes and another strumming the guitar, her mother playing the piano, and her father indulging his passion for historical preservation. “If our family was a sort of artists’ colony, could it not be even more accurately described as a mildly autistic colony?” a subsequent caption asks. Though the book is set in the 1970s, it’s an oddly resonant image in our age of wired families, where focused pursuits like IM-ing and blogging have replaced impromptu games of tag with the kids down the block. The structure of the book may put off readers looking for a straightforward story. Having made her big “reveal” early on, Bechdel proceeds to shuttle back and forth in her memories, creating a complex, nonchronological narrative. We see young Alison “trying to compensate for something unmanly” in her father by embracing all things butch, long before she knows of his homosexuality. We see her in college, realizing with both joy and trepidation that she’s a lesbian, and later we see her worrying that coming out to her father — an act almost unimaginable in his generation — might have had something to do with his death. Meanwhile, Bechdel lards these narratives with parallels drawn from literary works, her favorites or her parents’. For instance, Proust’s Within a Budding Grove, with its portrayal of pubescent girls and flowers as virtually indistinguishable, serves as an ironic counterpoint to her own “butch” youth. It’s also a covertly gay romance, much like her father’s life. Bechdel shows us how she saw her world as a child by reproducing the map from The Wind in the Willows. When her father finally and fleetingly opens up to her about his homosexuality, she compares this with a pivotal meeting of the artist and his “spiritual father” in Joyce’s Ulysses. In some writers’ hands, this reliance on literary metaphors would get ponderous. Bechdel herself says she initially feared it would be “pretentious.” But, in a family where life imitated fiction, and a father handed his daughter a Colette book rather than asking her whether she was a lesbian, the parallels make sense. Besides, whenever the narrating voice at the top of the panel threatens to get too professorial, Bechdel’s sly, intimate images of family life bring things back to earth. As >> 36A

In this heartbreakingly funny graphic memoir, the creator of the Dykes to Watch Out For series recalls growing up with her remote, eccentric father—a funeral home director/high school English teacher/closeted homosexual— and shares her own teenage comingout story.

All events subject to change, so please contact the store to confirm.

When “Six Feet Under” got big, Bechdel says her agent actually “wondered if somebody had overheard me telling my story in a coffee shop and lifted it.” the narrator enumerates her father’s similarities to F. Scott Fitzgerald, we see her younger self entering his baronial library and asking for a check to buy “some new Mad books.” That dead-on detail of the ’70s, combined with the simple transaction between father and daughter — “Write it out and I’ll sign it,” he says, absorbed in his own book — is touching on another level. It reminds us that “weird families” can be ordinary families, and vice versa. We wouldn’t care about their dark secrets if we couldn’t relate. “I can’t make things up. I have no imagination,” says 45year-old Bechdel. She’s perched on an ergonomic chair in her basement studio. “But I can take real life and put it in a box,” she goes on. “That’s the thing I can do.” The windows of the studio frame intensely green foliage — the edge of 39 acres that Bechdel owns on a mountain road still soft and rutted from spring floods. Inside, the studio is an urban oasis of Macintoshes and graphic arts paraphernalia. A framed poster of Hergé’s plucky comic book hero Tintin hangs on the wall. A 17-year-old tortoiseshell cat enters silently as a ghost. Bechdel works here six days a week and saves all her Burlington errands for Wednesday, to “maximize efficiency,” she says. Then there’s the quintessentially rural routine of fetching her mail from the small-town Jonesville post office. Fans of “Dykes to Watch Out For” ask her, “‘How do you write about these urban characters and this subculture when you don’t really live in it?’” she says. “I couldn’t work without the Internet. I can find out anything from my basement in Vermont.” Research has grown especially important for

Bechdel as she gives “Dykes” a “broader political mandate.” In recent years, the strip has tackled gay marriage, parenting, the election and the various horror shows of America under the Bush administration. While “Dykes” requires Bechdel to stay current, Fun Home sent her back into her past. “I’ve wanted to tell this story since I was about 20,” Bechdel says, “as soon as I had enough perspective on my father’s death to see what a really excellent story it was. For a long time I thought I couldn’t reveal this family secret. But something changed along the way . . . history changed, the cultural climate changed, and eventually it didn’t seem like that earthshaking a thing to reveal, even for my family.” When she first conceived the book about her father, Bechdel didn’t realize she could draw the story. “When I was 20, there wasn’t such a thing as a graphic novel,” she says. Maus, Art Spiegelman’s acclaimed graphic novel of the Holocaust, hadn’t come out yet. “So that was part of the evolution, too,” Bechdel says, “finding a form for the story to take. At some point it just became clear this was going to be a graphic narrative.” Creating Fun Home involved a more “labor-intensive process” than drawing the biweekly “Dykes” strip. Squatting on the floor, Bechdel rifles through crates in order to demonstrate the evolution of “one page from start to finish.” “The first thing I do is I write on the computer in a drawing program, which enables me to make these little text boxes and move them around, make my panel outlines,” she says, fishing out a page of text that looks naked without images. Next, Bechdel prints this

framework and “starts doing very rough pencil sketches” on it. “Then I do several successive refinements of that sketch, and in doing that I take reference photos of myself, in the poses of all these characters,” she says. She also does a “shitload of online research” to get backgrounds right — in this case, the rooftop of a particular building in Greenwich Village, from which Bechdel depicts her family watching the Bicentennial fireworks. Conveniently enough, the building is now a co-op with its own website. Like her father slaving over his historical renovations in Fun Home, Bechdel likes to nail down the details — “I can only deal with particulars,” she says. The next step is to put the refined sketch on a light box and trace it to the final drawing paper. The inked version is scanned back into the computer, where Bechdel fills in black areas using Adobe Photoshop, then combines her text and artwork files. In the last stage, she places the new print-out on the light box and shades it using an ink wash, creating a subtle twocolor effect. “This page probably took me two days to create,” she says. “I didn’t even know how it was going to work out until I got the final book in my hand. It’s quite a freakin’ process.” Perhaps the most intriguing part of that process, for the layperson, is Bechdel’s use of her digital camera to capture herself posing as the various people in the narrative. She says this technique was her response to an “utter failure of imagination.” In promotional material, she describes herself as a “Method cartoonist.” Bechdel thinks her way of accessing the past demanded “a kind of weird acting ability. I was posing as my father, looking

SEVEN DAYS | may 31-june 07, 2006 | feature 37A

out at things as if I were my father.” At one point she sought out the spot on the Pennsylvania highway where her father died. “I went and took a bunch of pictures as trucks were barrelling at me down the road,” she says. “I had really gone just for the photo reference, but it had this added emotional kick, to give me the feeling of what it must have been like for my dad to be standing there making that decision to jump in front of a truck. If in fact that’s what he did, which I’m not sure.” This scrupulousness is typical. Throughout the book, Bechdel speculates but also acknowledges the gaps in her understanding of her father’s motivations. To recreate the past, she relied on “documentary evidence” — her father’s letters, her childhood diaries and family photo albums she “commandeered.” In the wake of the James Frey debacle, there’s been speculation about whether it’s possible to write a compelling memoir without making things up. Bechdel admits that she filled in a few gaps with her imagination, sometimes inadvertently. Still, she says that “what I found was that [the evidence] was often much more interesting than anything I could possibly fabricate.” In a chapter called “The Ideal Husband,” Bechdel describes a cluster of unsettling events that converged in the summer of 1974: her first period, Nixon’s resignation, a plague of locusts, her father’s run-in with the law for giving alcohol to a minor. “I had all these memories . . . but when I looked in my diary, I found that all these things had happened in a two-month period,” she says. “If you were making that up, it would be really bad writing.” When she started Fun Home, Bechdel lacked confidence in herself as a writer. “I’m used to writing the comic strip, which is 90 percent dialogue. I had to learn to write,” she says. It didn’t help that both her parents were English teachers with “very refined tastes. I always felt both my parents looking over my shoulder as I was writing,” she explains, “and it took a long time to shut them up and to trust that what I was doing was ok.” In Fun Home, Bechdel’s narrator is a major presence. Occasionally there’s a touch of glibness, as when she says, “My father’s life was a solipsistic circle of self, from autocrat to autodidact to autocide.” In general, though, the narrator’s speculations are more intriguing than intrusive, because they heighten the force of the images. When it came to those images, Bechdel was on surer footing. Based on Dykes, Koren calls her “first-rate as an artist. She has a wonderful sense of detail and structure, putting together the dynamic of the

strip,” he says. “It’s in the tradition of the grand old masters of cartoon strips. Just the way she uses blacks and whites and texture, the way her balloons flow across the page and divide the scene. There’s a great sense of editing, going from long shot to close-up and back again.” James Sturm, director of the Institute for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, says Bechdel has an “unfussy line that seems to perfectly relay an emotion or a gesture.” Panels in “Dykes to Watch Out For” tend to be multilayered — as in classic Mad magazines, you miss half the jokes if you don’t read the characters’ T-shirts or the headlines on newspapers they’re carrying. “Some of my panels are friggin’ illegible ’cause I’m trying to cram so much stuff in,” Bechdel says. The larger format of Fun Home allowed her to use more empty space and also more “cinematic” techniques. For instance, a sudden “cut” from a side view of Alison and her father working on the lawn to a view from above underlines the distance between them, shifting the tone of the images abruptly from banality to elegy. “All the time I’ve been working on this project, I’ve been operating under the assumption that it would be just like my ‘Dykes’ stuff — that is, that hardly anyone would ever see it,” Bechdel says. Houghton Mifflin has a different plan. The publicity push for the book may imply that serious readers are finally embracing graphic novels — or memoirs, or whatever — as a legitimate form of literature. True to form, Bechdel counters, “People still can’t stop themselves from saying, ‘It’s almost like a literary work!’ When people are able to stop doing that, we will have arrived.” How has her family received Fun House? Bechdel says her mother is having a “paradoxical reaction . . . She’s never been keen on the idea that I was writing the book — she’s very private, and even her closest friends don’t know a lot of the stuff I reveal about my dad. Yet, oddly, she’s psyched about the publicity. She told me she went into a bookstore the other day and bragged to the clerk about me.” While it will draw those inevitable comparisons to “Six Feet Under,” Fun Home isn’t just a tragicomic saga of a family living cheek by jowl with death. It’s also a double coming-out story and what literary critics call a Künstlerroman — the story of how an artist came to be. “I don’t live in other worlds the way I used to,” Bechdel says, contrasting her childhood of voracious reading with her more focused adulthood. “I’ve gone from living through other people’s books to living through my own creative work.” For all his perfectionism, her father surely would have approved. m

n Saturday, June 3, the nightclub and performance space known as 135 Pearl will close its doors for good, ending a 22-year run as Burlington’s queer-friendly entertainment establishment. Owner Robert Toms, who bought the business in 1995, put the twostory downtown building on the market a year and a half ago. He’d hoped to sell it to someone who would keep the club going, but no buyers materialized. In May, the 37year-old Toms reluctantly sold it to investors who plan to convert the first floor into a Papa John’s pizzeria; the second floor will become apartments. Toms has heard a lot of comments about the sale — some thanking him for staying open as long as he did, some condemning him for selling out to a pizza chain. But there’s a common theme: People will miss the place. It may be hard to see the appeal of the non-descript club at the intersection of Pearl Street and Elmwood Avenue. Since its construction in 1880, Toms says, the battered gray-and-black building has been a boarding house, a seafood market and a funeral home, among other

things. Sandwiched between the Masonic Temple and CCV, the place looks pretty shabby. But appearances can be deceiving. In fact, bar patrons and local artists say 135 Pearl’s departure will leave a tremendous void. Not just because it’s the state’s last specifically queer-friendly nightspot, hosting drag shows, theme parties and the annual post-Pride bash; but because Toms has turned it

All of them seem at ease in the upstairs lounge, buying drinks before the show from bartender Bob Driver, a gay man wearing a white tank top and two metal-studded leather cuffs around his biceps.

At the end, when the actors take their bows, they point to Funny director Toms, stationed at the sound booth in the corner of the room. The applause for him is poignant. A love of theater is what prompted Toms to buy 135 Pearl in the first place. He

then called Pearl’s. He soon became its general manager. The four owners, he says, were burned out and looking to sell. They wanted Pearl’s to continue as a gay-friendly nightspot, but hadn’t found a buyer. Eventually, one of the owners asked Toms if he would consider taking over. The idea appealed to him, mainly because it would give him a stage. When Toms bought the club, he made some changes:

hosted a variety of shows by independent artists and local theater companies in the downstairs barroom. It was also home for a time to a poetry slam series and a folkmusic night. But Shoebox was perhaps best known for showcasing offbeat plays such as Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens, The Once and Future Ubu and Toms’ own version of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, in which he took a star turn as the bitter East German transsexual. Burlington playwright Steve Goldberg, who was in the audience for Shoebox Theater’s final show, says he’s sorry to see 135 Pearl go. Goldberg directed a few of his plays here, including the original production of Curb Divers of Redemption. Vermont filmmaker Nora Jacobson shot a movie version of the play in the alley behind the club last summer. “This place has been really great for the theater scene,� says Goldberg. “The town really needs it.

agrees. She can’t even remember how many plays she’s done here. She’s acted in some, directed others — such as this winter’s Green Candle Theater production of Silent Invasion. Girdich says that Toms’ willingness to charge artists a split of the proceeds at the door, rather than a flat rental fee, has bolstered the local theater scene. “This is the only place in town that allowed people to take risks,� she says of the space. “You could take a chance on doing something here and not lose your shirt.�

Both Goldberg and Girdich are hopeful that another experimental space will open. Local theater, they say, is on the rise. The club clientele of 135 Pearl is not as optimistic about finding replacement digs. On Saturday, the dancers and drinkers begin to arrive as the plays wind down. By 11 p.m. the house music on the first floor is so loud you can feel it pulsing in your chest, and the retro-pop faves on the second floor seem to be reliving the ’80s.

A group of actors and their friends congregate around a table in the back room upstairs. They’re bummed the club is closing.

you.” He adds defiantly, “I will never buy pizza from here.” His friend James Nelson is similarly nostalgic. Asked for a good 135 Pearl story, the 36year-old, who splits his time between Burlington and New York City, holds up his left hand to show the ring on his finger. “I found my partner seven years ago at this bar,” he says, a wistful look in his eye. Even so, Nelson says he’s not surprised 135 Pearl is closing — he’s been expecting it for the past 10 years. Vermont used to be home to several gay bars that have come and gone, he points out. “This is sort of the last whimper of a dying spirit,” Nelson says. “The culture has changed.” That’s true of both queer culture and of American society in general. For example, threat-

But Toms says it’s not just the money that’s driving him out — the North Hero resident wants to spend more time on his art. And, he points out, he never wanted to own a bar in the first place. He stayed in as long as he did, Toms says, out of a sense of obligation to the community. When Papa John’s approached him, Toms remembers thinking, “I’ll be dead before I see it become a pizza place.” But after months of waiting, and lots of advice from accountants and businesspeople, he decided to make peace with the sale. Now, Toms is trying to find new homes for some of the club’s more successful regular events, such as karaoke, Womyn’s Night and the monthly drag show “Poof!” — this last one, it appears, will be relocating to Club Metronome.

ening or openly hostile behavior directed at queer people is far less acceptable today than it was just a decade ago. Now, a samesex couple going out for a drink might prefer Red Square 135 Pearl. Perhaps more importantly, 135 Pearl isn’t the “meat market” it once was. Anyone looking to hook up can meet potential partners in online chatrooms to arrange an encounter. For a growing number of queer singles, cruising at the bar is no longer necessary. Toms admits this cultural shift has affected his business. “It’s not the community center anymore,” he says. “That’s down the street,” he adds, looking out the second-floor window down Elmwood Ave. The R.U.1.2? Queer Community Center opened there, half a block away, in 2003. The smoking ban didn’t help, either. But Toms says the bar always been a marginal endeavor, because of the challenge of operating a queerfriendly venue in a small town in a small state. Pearl’s was “barely breathing” when he bought it, he recalls, and the business has always been a struggle. Toms says his boyfriend of nine years helped him keep the business alive by refinancing their house. “My credit is shit,” Toms says frankly. “I have robbed Peter to pay Paul and Mary.” He points out that he’s not losing money on the sale, but he’s not making a profit, either. The city of Burlington assessed the property at just over $500,000; he’s selling for $375,000.

Owner Damon Brink says his club will welcome the 135 Pearl crowd. “We’re open to it 100 percent,” he says. “Nectar’s and Metronome are safe places for people. Hopefully when people come here, they feel comfortable.” Toms is hopeful, too, that this transition will be an opportunity to “give the other businesses a chance to embrace us.” But that’s an argument many 135 Pearl patrons still reject. James Nelson says that people in his generation, especially those who are not “out” to the wider community, still are uneasy in “straight” bars. “This is the only place they feel comfortable coming out,” he says. “That will not happen at Red Square, at Metronome, at Nectar’s or at The Other Place, no matter how accepting they are. There are those for whom having a safe space that is dedicated to them is crucial.” Nelson’s partner Jerry Perry, 35, elaborates. “You still run the chance of running across that one person who’s a redneck, who still wants to cause trouble,” he explains. Toms is not unsympathetic to their frustration. “It’s like losing your house, being kicked out of the nest,” he says of the closing. But he’s convinced it’s the right thing for him to do. “It’s letting go,” he says. “Letting go is hard for us. But once you do, things open up.” Toms suggests that the end of 135 Pearl is a “reality check” for queer folks and artists alike. “Maybe,” he says, “it’ll be a catalyst for them to say, ‘It’s my turn.’” m

Winged Migration Honky-Tonk outfit Ramble Dove takes off

S STORY

CASEY REA “Honky-Tonk the Vote”: A benefit for Bernie Sanders for U.S. Senate with Ramble Dove; special guests Grace Potter & Jon Fishman. Higher Ground Music Hall, South Burlington, June 2, 9 p.m. $40.

ince early last year, Burlington’s tiny Radio Bean Café has played host to the town’s most raucous weekly party. Inspired and usually off-the-cuff, “Honky-Tonk Tuesday” features a rotating cast of musicians under the gregarious guidance of Queen City twang-meister Brett Hughes. It’s always a rollicking good time, provided you can get in the door. Lately, ex-Phish bassist Mike Gordon has been seen holding down the low end. In addition to Hughes, regulars include local vocalist/keyboardist Marie Claire, drummer/ songwriter Neil Cleary, banjo and pedal-steel legend Gordon Stone and vocalist Aya Inoue. And all of ’em — along with Max Creek axeman Scott Murawski — comprise Ramble Dove, a “supergroup” that’s taking the countrified jam session on the road. The band will play the wildly popular Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee on June 17. In between are dates at Boston’s Paradise and Irving Plaza in the Big Apple. And this week at the Higher Ground Ballroom, they’ll “HonkyTonk the Vote” in a benefit for Bernie Sanders’ Senate campaign. Vermont superstars Grace Potter and Jon Fishman will make guest appearances. “The Bernie benefit came up when I saw him speak at a dinner at Shelburne Farms,” says Gordon. “I was really blown away by the stuff he was talking about. He went into a lot of detail about the state of affairs in Washington. I got all fired up about it. So I called Brett and said, ‘I don’t know what your politics are, but there’s this Bernie thing happening.’ Brett said, ‘I would knock on every door in the state for Bernie.’” Sanders appreciates the support. “It’s great for Mike and the other musicians to be involved,” says the Congressman. “Young people need to feel their participation can make a difference.” Ramble Dove take their name from a fanciful country band featured in Gordon’s 2000 film Outside Out. Burlington’s RD have a major affinity for whiskey-soaked foot-stompers and broken-heart ballads. Tunes by country greats Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, George Jones and Buck Owens are part of their growing repertoire. “I need an intern,” exclaims Hughes as he sorts through a songstuffed binder during a recent rehearsal in his spacious Winooski pad. Finding one shouldn’t be difficult considering the buzz about the band. Gordon, on the other hand, needs no organizational assistance: He arrives at practice with highly detailed printouts for each bandmember, listing the tunes they have and haven’t tried. As the Doves flutter in, they’re given their own worksheets. It’s doubtful the pickers of yesteryear were as organized. But when Ramble Dove take flight, their carefree nature is revealed. Stone serves up lively pedal-steel licks as Hughes slips into the role of easygoing country crooner. Claire’s piano chords are buoyant, and Gordon

looks perfectly relaxed. From the laidback vibe, you’d never guess these players were gearing up for a string of high-profile dates. As a former member of one of the most popular live acts in history, Gordon is no stranger to roadwork. Weekly jams at Radio Bean are a far cry from rocking Madison Square Garden, but he seems pleased to connect with audiences on a more intimate level. “The only bummer about it is when our friends are outside and the Bean has reached capacity,” Gordon says. “But it’s cozy, and you never know who’s gonna come. That’s a big thing I missed about being a ‘rock star’ — not being so much a part of the community. I actually tried not coming on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks

“So far, we’ve kept it pretty loose,” says Hughes. “The Bean gig has been an opportunity to try songs on and see what fits. Some of ’em are fitting better and better.” Claire has a similar outlook. “Honky-tonk Tuesdays are the essence of the group,” she says. “But the important part about it is playing with really great musicians and having a good time. We get the songs down well enough to play, but we want to keep it somewhat under-rehearsed to keep things spontaneous.” Over-rehearsing is probably not an option. Every member has other commitments, so scheduling practices is difficult. Claire performs solo and with indie-rockers Fire the Cannons. Hughes is the front man for both Monoprix and the Chrome Cowboys.

crash course in old-school C&W. “Honky-tonk was a style that I never played before my first Tuesday night at Radio Bean,” she concedes. “I was afraid at first; Brett can be a little intimidating. So I played one song and then kind of walked away. He was like, ‘Sit your ass back down!’ But it’s easy when you’re playing with people with such a good feel for it.” Ramble Dove’s camaraderie is built on mutual respect. “It sounds corny, but Brett is the perfect person to front a band like this,” says Cleary. “Because he’s a magical, lucky bastard, and magic, lucky things just seem to happen around him. He’s one of my favorite people on Earth to play with because he’s so unabashedly joyful about music, and game for anything.”

We get the songs down well enough to play, but we want to keep it somewhat underrehearsed to keep things spontaneous. MARIE CLAIRE ago,” he adds. “It just didn’t feel right. ” The “Gordon factor” is partly responsible for the band’s visibility — they wouldn’t be playing Bonnaroo without him. But Hughes maintains the music is the real draw. “At first, a lot of people came down that might have been just curious to see Mike,” he says of the weekly Bean sessions. “But they keep coming back; they’re really digging it. We’re constantly getting new suggestions for songs. These people do their homework.” The members of Ramble Dove themselves have some cramming to do, but they don’t seem too stressed.

Stone has a full plate with his trio, and Gordon is always pursuing new musical ventures. “I can’t really turn down touring work to play a weekly gig at Radio Bean,” says Cleary, a sought-after sideman who has toured with the likes of singer-songwriter Erin McKeown, and is working on a new solo album. “After we committed to Bonnaroo and a week of shows, I was like, ‘By the way, I’m leaving for a month,’” he says. While everyone in Ramble Dove is a strong musician, some have had more twang time than others. Indie singer-songwriter Claire has had a

And when it comes to choosing the tunes, Hughes has done the math: “Country music has always been about 80-percent dreck,” he says. “Maybe 15 percent is good, and about 5 percent is truly great. They’re all really simple songs. What makes one of ’em get to you time after time is tough to nail down.” All these players want to keep the Tuesday-night tradition alive, but the future of Ramble Dove itself is less certain. “The festival and random gig offers are starting to roll in,” Gordon says. “I don’t know if our schedules will permit doing more, but it would be great if they did.” m

IMMORTAL JOE

Plans are shaping up for a memorial statue of the late Big Joe Burrell. A fundraising campaign kicked off to coincide with this week’s Discover Jazz Festival, an event practically synonymous with the beloved saxman. The statue is planned for the top of Church Street, not far from Halvorson’s Upstreet Café, where Joe held court every Thursday night the last few years of his life. Shelburne-based artist Chris Sharp will sculpt the life-sized, bronze memorial. Artists from around the country were considered for the job; Sharp was chosen based on his “masterful ability to render the figure and capture likeness,” as well as his “true love of Big Joe’s music and history,” according to a Burlington City Arts release. Shipping costs may also have been a factor: Burrell was a big guy. But the undertaking is still expensive; the statue’s total cost is estimated at $75,000. According to BCA fundraising organizers, most of that money will go to the casting process. After all, foundries aren’t free. The City of Burlington has already come up with $5000 for the statue, which is expected to be unveiled at the 2007 Jazz Fest. Members of the fundraising committee — which include Burrell fan Peter Clavelle and former bandmates Chuck Eller and Dennis Willmott — are calling on the community to chip in. Your tax-deductible donations may be sent to: Big Joe Statue Fund, c/o City of Burlington, 149 Church St., Burlington, VT THE PANTS 05401.

Also performing are Antara, Swale, Dirty Blondes and soon-to-be-ex-owner Robert Toms. And let’s not forget Poof!, Burlington’s erstwhile drag cabaret. LUCIO MENEGON Wonder what all those people are doing next weekend?

PIANO GAL The children of popular musicians often have it rough. For every Damien or Ziggy Marley, there’s a washed-up Julian Lennon. It remains to be seen what fate will hold for Alexa Ray Joel, the ivorytickling offspring of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. You can make your prediction when she performs at Nectar’s on Sunday, June 6. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they say. First of all, she looks a lot like her famous parents. Soulful eyes, pretty lips . . . and pronounced forehead. She’s certainly inherited her dad’s piano chops, too; I recently listened to a couple of tracks online and was duly impressed by Joel’s keyboard skills. Her tunes are another matter; while she possesses an adequate voice, the junior Joel hasn’t yet come into her own as a pop songwriter. Still, her stuff is equal or superior to the syrupy faux soul currently on the charts. So I’m willing to give her a fair shake. As her old man once sang, it’s a matter of trust.

JAZZ MUTATIONS If you’re hungry for some next-level sounds, you might want to check out the debut of Beat Biters — a nü-jazz super-group comprising some of Burlington’s most formidable musicians. With Nick Cassarino on guitar, Benny Hollywood on bass, Caleb Bronz and Steve Hadeka on drums, Dave Grippo on sax, Jennifer Hartswick on trumpet and vox, A-Dog on turntables and MC Fattie B. busting rhymes, the band has serious firepower. They’ll hit the stage at Club Metronome on Friday, June 2, for a set that will probably leave scorch marks. And if that’s not enough excitement, hip-hop hotshots The Aztext and Lee & S.I.N. warm up. m

reviewthis COLIN MCCAFFREY, TIRED OF TOWN

CARRIGAN, YOUNG MEN NEVER DIE (Radar Recordings/So Good Music, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

Two years in the making, Carrigan’s latest CD is a major achievement for its creators. For their inordinately patient fans, it’s a cause for celebration. The band has undergone several stylistic and personnel changes in its six-year history, and will probably mutate again. But for now, there’s Young Men Never Die, an ambitious collection of tunes rich with detail and ingenuity. Songwriter/vocalist Zach Martin is a handy front man; guitar, keyboards, samples and effects are all part of his sonic stockpile. Drummer Ken Johnson offers plenty of assistance in the form of beats and atmospherics. Together, the two create hypnotic rock that energizes and envelops. Opener “We Give No Quarter” features haunting acoustic guitars and a somber vocal melody. A cyclical snare pattern sounds in the distance, as the song drifts into a nebula of mingling tones. A gut-rumbling bass line heralds “Valladolid” — a staple of Carrigan’s live set. The song’s driving rhythms and Middle Eastern imagery evoke Led Zeppelin’s arid travelogue, “Kashmir.” “I’m past the desert sand / and through the mountain air,” Martin sings in his arresting tenor. “Tinderboxes” is built on a bed of rumbling tom-toms and a somewhat sinister guitar figure. The tune is rife with primitive agitation; it’s Carrigan’s version of crossroads blues. In the tune’s second half, tumultuous percussion takes over, driving the music to a trance-inducing peak. “The Dwarf”’s skeletal bounce comes courtesy of a rugged backbeat and unearthly riff. “You don’t like what you are / I don’t like it either / There’s something loathsome in your eyes,” Martin sings in the tune’s queasy chorus. “But you are something beautiful / Or maybe just the Antichrist / With spinning roses in your eyes.” I’ve been on dates like that. Major-key vocals and minor-key synth bass intertwine on the swirling “Talk to My Horse.” The song occasionally overdoes the atmospherics, however. Hazy soundscapes are fine and good, but they can’t make up for instrumental oomph. Still, the tune’s coda would sound great in a ’70s horror flick by Dario Argento. “Sunshine Through the Waves” is positively gorgeous, evoking both Radiohead and George Harrison. The song’s slide guitar lines and vocal melody come together in the disc’s most gracious musical moments. “Chin Music” — essentially an acoustic reprise of “Tinderboxes” — brings the disc to a harmonious close. Young Men Never Die seems destined to win acclaim beyond Burlington. It’s slated for national release later this summer; you can grab the disc early at http://carriganclub.com or local record shops.

CASEY REA

Colin McCaffrey’s new CD, Tired of Town, is a gloriously tidy affair. His third solo release finds the central Vermont singer-songwriter bagging the overdubs for a stripped-down tour of some of his favorite music, past and present. McCaffrey makes sure the attention is right where it belongs: on his exceptional guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass and vocal abilities. Except for a guest piano appearance by local mix master Chuck Eller, and some sweet baritone ukulele by Vermont musician Lewis Franco, Tired is all McCaffrey, all the time. The album’s vocals were recorded with a vintage RCA ribbon microphone, and the result is pleasantly warm and cozy. McCaffrey’s gentle crooning is like vintage James Taylor, but with a more pronounced twang. On Fats Waller’s classic “Honeysuckle Rose,” McCaffrey whistles the horn solos straight from one of the pianist’s most famous Bluebird recording sessions. Hank Williams’ plaintive “Weary Blues From Waiting” features a lovely and understated guitar solo. There’s a bare-bones reading of Merle Haggard’s “Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down,” while Jimmie Rodgers’ “Mississippi Delta Blues” comes with an authentic yodel. McCaffrey’s gorgeous take on the 1920s Tin Pan Alley chestnut “Bye Bye Blackbird” is nestled alongside four originals that fit well with his eclectic selection of covers. The disc also features two cuts by Franco and Pete Sutherland. That these gifted Vermont songwriters would allow McCaffrey to record their tunes even before they had done so themselves is a testament to his reputation as a respected studio and onstage musician. Tired of Town’s spare, lovely arrangements leave no place to hide. But talent like McCaffrey’s needs no obstruction; he goes out on the ledge with confidence. Hear him with his honky-tonk outfit the Stone Cold Roosters at the Middle Earth Music Hall on Friday, June 2.

OPENINGS

New Directions

T EXHIBIT “A Fork in the Road,” mixed-media sculptural works and installation by James Florschutz & Meg Walker. Firehouse Gallery, Burlington. Through June 24.

ARTWORK “Four Panels from the Footprint Series” by James Florschutz

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he exhibit “A Fork in the Road,” currently at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery, presents two equally interesting approaches to large-scale constructions: organic and architectonic. Charlotte sculptor Meg Walker created an installation that presents a shrine-like aggregation of incongruous forms, while Newfane artist James Florschutz has built a wholly abstract structure in the back gallery. Standing and wall-mounted works are also featured. Florschutz’s mixed-media drawings are the only two-dimensional pieces in the show. A pair of vertical, 18-by-48-inch drawings is part of his 1999 “Fragmentation Series/Excavation.” Grids, squares and rectangles seem to tumble downward in the drawings; one of them is dominated by grays, the other by black. If the title refers to archaeological excavations, the grids are perhaps pits seen from above? But there’s no need to seek a literal interpretation; Florschutz’s drawings are engaging enough without imposing meaning. As good as these drawings are, sculpture is the main event at “A Fork in the Road.” Florschutz’s 2006 “Next Generation” comprises a wall filled with unfinished surveyor’s stakes, each about 1 inch square and several feet long. There are perhaps 200 such stakes in the sprawling composition, and there’s a hidden order about it. The stakes aren’t randomly spaced, but rather assembled into an asymmetrical matrix of floating diagonals, verticals and horizontals. Florschutz’s masterpiece, however, is

“Where Secrets Lie.” Roughly 10 feet high, the structure is assembled from several hundred stakes and seems more like architecture than sculpture. It looms over the center of the gallery, like an unfinished monument made simply of sticks. Walker’s works also reference architecture, but her tiny barns and other outbuildings, just a few inches tall, are precariously perched on spindly, 6-foot

yet unsentimental way. Avian influences appear in Walker’s works, too. Her 1983 wall-mounted “Bird Under a Shower” is perhaps the most delicate piece in the show. About a dozen wires, each the diameter of a coat hanger, are bent into graceful arcs to dangle over a crumpled, nest-like ball of finer-gauge wire. Dated 2006, Walker’s “Self Talk:

“A Fork in the Road” presents two equally interesting approaches to large-scale constructions: organic and architectonic. stands. Her 1999 “Toppling Barns” and “Stacked Barns” have pointed, Englishbarn-type roofs. “Toppling Barns” is a three-tiered crescent of little barns on a tall, white base. The barns are painted black, white and brown to create an elegant, minimalist composition. “Stacked Barns” is more complex. It’s really two vertical woodand-cardboard constructions, a few feet apart and linked by a curved red line. The column at left is a tall, thin barn, while at right, several structures are piled together — it’s like barn raisings gone awry and swept into a jumbled heap. Walker’s barn forms respond to the rural architecture of New England in a playful

Roads Taken, or Not — Yet” is the central installation of her show. It’s a compendium of dozens of forms — heads, birds, spiky shapes à la Dr. Seuss — all ensconced on high, black columns. The columns are a variety of heights, like disordered pipe-organ tubes; each of the figures and forms on them seem symbolic of a “road not taken.” If there is a fork in either of these artist’s paths, as the show’s title suggests, will it bring them closer together or further apart? Either way, their respective approaches to construction are highly complementary at this point of the journey. m

But his geometric paintings are characteristically bold, and are augmented by some quirky, yet masterful, pencil drawings. between ceramics, painting and sculpture.

theborowitzreport GORE COULD CAUSE GLOBAL BORING: HILLARY PRODUCES CAUTIONARY DOCUMENTARY ABOUT FORMER VEEP

T

he election of former Vice President Al Gore to the White House could result in a disastrous phenomenon called “global boring,” in which millions of people around the world would fall asleep in an unprecedented narcoleptic pandemic. That is the message of a new documentary about the 2000 Democratic Party standard-bearer that has been produced and narrated by Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and is being released in selected cities today. The documentary, titled “An Incoherent Truth,” collects moments from some of Mr. Gore’s most mind-numbing speeches to make a persuasive case that a Gore presidency would set off a doomsday scenario of global tedium. Speaking at the film’s premiere in New York, Sen. Clinton said that while the film

“is not for the squeamish,” it is a cautionary tale “that every American should see, if they can stand to sit through it.” Insisting that global boring is not a made-up phenomenon but one that is based in scientific fact, Sen. Clinton said

But at the conclusion of Mr. Gore’s address, which was complete with slides, video and PowerPoint demonstrations, there were mixed reviews for his performance. “I would like to say that Al made his case,” one Gore

“...but after 10 minutes, I found myself losing consciousness.” Al Gore aide

that a Gore presidency “would unleash a force of boredom equal to a thousand Da Vinci Codes.” In his home state of Tennessee, Mr. Gore attempted to discredit the concept of global boring by giving a threehour speech on the subject.

aide said, “but after 10 minutes, I found myself losing consciousness.” Elsewhere, NASA launched a new weather satellite in order to give the White House earlier and more accurate hurricane warnings to ignore. m

The Devil and Daniel Johnston HHHH

D MOM AND POP SONGS Johnston may be the most influential musical artist in the country who still lives with his parents.

aniel Johnston was a bright, Beatles-loving boy who always wanted to be famous. As a kid he was a precocious artist, making Super 8 movies, drawing pictures and recording innumerable songs on scribbled cassettes. His parents and siblings were deeply religious, but Johnston would have none of it. One of the central ironies of his life is that, when it became clear he was losing his mind, it was also when he claimed to have found God. Jeff Feuerzeig won the Best Director prize at last year’s Sundance for this documentary portrait of the artist as a young man filled with promise, which has gone largely unfulfilled because he’s been so busy battling demons. The difference between Johnston and a lot of tormented creative types is that his demons really have been satanic entities straight out of the Old Testament. Access to hundreds of hours of video and audio footage allows writer-director Feuerzeig to offer a fascinating, highly detailed account of Johnston’s transfiguration from West Virginia teen savant to unstable Austin folk hero. It’s both troubling and compelling, for example, to listen to tapes Johnston made as young man of his mother’s fire-and-brimstone tirades. She berated him for his obsession with art, calling him “an unprofitable servant of the Lord.” His response was to refer to himself as “an unserviceable prophet of the Lord,” and to make movies in which he played the dual roles of himself and the woman of the house, wearing curlers, serving strange, green KoolAid meals, and railing against his “satanic cartoons.” One day, after he graduated from high school, Johnston literally ran away to join the circus. He neglected to tell anyone in his family where he was going. In the mid-’80s he turned up in Austin, where he fell in with a group of local musicians, cleaned tables at a McDonald’s, and scammed his way onto an MTV show spotlighting the city’s music scene. As a result, he became something of

a local celebrity, attracting a sizable fan base for his barebones, childlike songs, and winning a number of bestsongwriter polls in the local music press. As his fame grew so, unfortunately, did Johnston’s psychological problems and his preoccupation with the devil. Cameras always seem to have been rolling wherever he went, so we’re privy to delusional rants about the significance of the numbers 9 and 666. He began using LSD heavily. The drug did not mix well with his deepening manic depression and, after attacking his manager with a lead pipe in 1986, Johnston was institutionalized for the first time. Over the next two decades he would be hospitalized again and again, periodically refusing to take his meds because they deadened him creatively. This had the effect of letting him produce fragile and remarkable compositions and then leading him into situations that would result in his re-institutionalization. Feuerzeig clearly has enormous empathy for his subject, walking the line between explication and exploitation with intelligence and sensitivity. The film never romanticizes its subject as a misunderstood genius or a musical martyr, providing instead an honest assessment of Johnston’s talent and his troubles. This is not someone who was ever going to find mainstream acceptance. And yet, the more we hear his work, the more weirdly wonderful it seems. Given the obstacles he faced, it’s amazing his music has made the mark that it has. Kurt Cobain called Johnston the world’s “greatest living songwriter.” Beck, Pearl Jam, Yo La Tengo, Wilco, Sonic Youth and dozens of others have covered his songs. It may not be everything he was shooting for — he dreamed of The Beatles reuniting to serve as his back-up band — but all things considered, it’s astonishingly close. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD

Works in Progress You’ve actually made all the pieces and then you get to put it together.”

Another auteur at work on his latest project: John O’Brien, who will screen a trailer for The Green Movie at the Lake Placid Film Forum, taking place June 23 and 24. The Tunbridge resident expects to be there, along with his cinematographer/editor Art Bell of Burlington.

This is like a big puzzle that’s a lot of fun.

Dramatizations of domestic abuse often include revenge: Farrah Fawcett plays a fed-up, battered woman in The Burning Bed, a 1985 TV drama; Julia Roberts confronts a monstrous husband in 1991’s Sleeping With the Enemy. But Take My Eyes, opening this weekend at the Palace 9 in South Burlington, tackles the topic in more measured tones. To understand what motivates a wife-beater, co-writer/director Iciar Bollain employs empathy that should not be confused with forgiveness. This intimate saga, set in the Spanish city of Toledo, observes how easily love can become a weapon. Pilar (Laia Marull) has never told anyone about her psychological and physical torment in a decade of marriage to Antonio (Luis Tosar), a possessive appliance salesman with a short fuse. When enough is finally enough, she and their son Juan (Nicolas Feranandez Luna) flee to the home of her sister Ana (Candela Pena). Pilar’s widowed mother Aurora (Rosa Maria Sarda) urges her to give Antonio another chance. The daughter resists at first, instead volunteering at a museum to establish a sense of independence. She develops an affinity for great works of art, which Antonio

ridicules. He feels like a failure, so her potential success is threatening. After unsuccessful attempts to woo Pilar back with promises, Antonio joins a consciousness-raising group run by a therapist (Sergi Calleja) who tries to persuade the assembled men that pummeling their wives is immoral as well as illegal. Few of them get it. Ana, meanwhile, marries her gentle Scottish fiancé (David Mooney) — the very antithesis of Antonio. At a wedding replete with bagpipes and people in kilts, the groom’s mother sings a mournful Celtic melody. This ballad from a different European culture seems to mirror what lies ahead for Pilar, who desperately wants to believe her ragefilled spouse can change. Bollain handles the inevitable scenes of violence with restraint, which somehow renders them all the more horrific. Her uniformly strong cast makes each character compelling. The film’s title refers to Pilar and Antonio’s foreplay ritual, pledging various body parts as a sign of devotion. Perhaps her mantra ought to be, “Take my eyes, but leave my soul the hell alone.” m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

READ THIS FIRST:

This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

For Cannonball ADDERLEY, Bird was a kind of patron saint. ASPARAGUS always leaves us with an olfactory reminder. The BOATHOUSE was a popular venue for summer’s eve trysts. Acura and Lexus are COBRANDS of Honda and Toyota. We saw some barracudas while snorkeling along the CORAL REEF. GARTER BELTS have joined the club for bygone accessories. My first car was best described as a damned RATTLETRAP. The United KINGDOM ought to be called the United Queendom. In dairy country, MILKSHAKE is another word for cow tipping. Moc-sox is a brand name for high-top MOCCASIN SLIPPERS. 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.

$8.99

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and tamari. Whisk in the garlic, spices, lemon juice and orange zest. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Set aside 2 T of the marinade. Toss the beef cubes in the bowl with the rest of the marinade. This can marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. Prepare a medium hot grill. Skewer the cubes leaving a little space between each cube so they’ll cook all around. Grill, turning the skewers to brown on all sides, about 5 – 8 minutes. You don’t want to over cook these; you want them juicy and tender. Push the meat off the skewers. Mix the 2 T of marinade with the yogurt. Serve the kabobs with warmed pita bread, butter lettuce dressed simply with olive oil and lemon and that simple yet marvelous sauce. A sprinkling of chopped cilantro or mint is an excellent addition.

FRIDAY 02

GOING SOLO Eighty-eight keys in 50 states — that’s the idea behind “America 88x50,” a project brainstormed by pianist Adam Tendler. The 24-yearold Vermont native studied at the Indiana University School of Music, then decided to stage a free concert of contemporary classical music in every state within one year, on a shoestring budget. Prep time included a 6month stint of construction work while teaching himself pieces by Charles Ives, Charles Tomlinson Griffes, Alberto Ginastera and Aaron Copland. In the past 12 months, he’s played schools, bars and regular theaters, and once drove four days straight from New Mexico to Delaware to make his next gig. Forty-nine down, one to go: Tendler brings his program home to Vermont for the project’s final concert.

scene@MOVIE NIGHT EURO GOURMET MARKET & CAFÉ, BURLINGTON, THURSDAY, MAY 25, 8 P.M. Euro Gourmet Market & CafĂŠ is a joyous mix of cultures: You can buy Bosnian CDs, Swiss chocolate, Croatian munchies and Vermont maple syrup in the market. The cafĂŠ sells panini and lattes. The walls feature paintings of guitars, bouquets and a huge soccer ball. There are also Chinese lanterns (or French lampions?) and framed family photos tucked between bottles of Hungarian wine. I went to Euro Gourmet last Thursday, a balmy night after the first sunny day Burlington had seen in weeks. Patrons lingered at the outdoor tables well after dark, their conversations wafting through the cafÊ’s open windows. It was movie night, and owner Vladimir Selek pulled comfy couches in front of a screen for a dozen customers to watch Fuse, an award-winning 2003 film by Pjer Zalica. Fuse tells the story of a Bosnian village trying to clean up its act for a visit from President Bill Clinton, two years after the end of the war. The locals have to cover up corruption, make nice with the Serbs, and get the colors right on the American flag they’re sewing for the big day. Despite comic setbacks with the joint Serb-Bosnian fire brigade, the villagers eventually come to see their former enemies as “humans, not wolves.â€? Euro Gourmet’s clientele is just as cosmopolitan as its menu. After the film, I got to talk to Yanina from Bulgaria, Tania from Croatia, Dave from D.C. and Xabier from Spain. Tania, who was a child in Split during the war and has just finished a year of study at UVM, told me how the Dalmatian Coast is recovering, and how young people don’t carry their parents’ ethnic hatred from the war. Yanina described Bulgaria as a beautiful cultural crossroads with Thracian monasteries, Ottoman mosques and Macedonian feta cheese. The ethnic jumble of Euro Gourmet is beautiful in the same way, the attitude of its regulars mirrored in this conversation from Fuse: “Is she ours?â€? “No, she’s a Serb.â€? “Does she cook well?â€? “Yes.â€? “Then who cares?â€?

FRIDAY 02

PEN ZEN If you’re familiar with the facts of life, why shouldn’t you draw conclusions? Ed Koren certainly does. The Brookfield-based artist has illustrated children’s books and works by Lewis Carroll, Delia Ephron and George Plimpton, among other authors, and is also a volunteer fireman in his town. But Koren’s longeststanding gig is as a contributor to The New Yorker, to which he sold his first cartoon in 1962. His endearingly hairy characters offer urbane observations about upper-middle-class existence, with a slight dash of the warm fuzzies. This Friday, Koren talks about his work at an ongoing exhibition of 20 drawings selected from those he’s contributed to the magazine over the past 16 years.

The New Orleans-centered subdudes are the kings of laid-back grooves, which explains their name’s understated, lower-case spelling. The band formed in 1987 to play “subdued� funky roots-rock highlighting vocal harmonies over amped instruments, and broke up after 10 years. The current quintet reunited in 2003, blending accordion and acoustic guitars with tambourine. The ’dudes recorded their newest CD, Behind the Levee, before Hurricane Katrina. They decided not to change the title, because in rural Louisiana, the levee was where teens first kissed, or maybe started playing guitar, and it had always symbolized fun and freedom. Expect the same, along with Big Easy listening and post-concert fireworks, when the ’dudes open the Vermont Balloon and Music Festival this weekend.

SPARE CHANGES Verdant trees now cover much of the Green Mountain State, but Vermont’s landscape looked decidedly different 100-plus years ago, when clearcut forests were the norm. The same can be said of the state’s towns and cities: Nine decades past, Stowe (pictured above, in 1914) was a teeny village surrounded by open fields. The University of Vermont is attempting to track these trends via the Landscape Change Program, an ambitious database of more than 13,000 images that preserves Vermont views as they were and are. Visitors to the program’s community archive online can compare then-and-now photos of the same spot over time. In a one-hour talk, Paul Bierman, the UVM professor of geology and natural resources who leads the program, reviews 100 years of past-ure land in a whirlwind photo “tour.”

SEVEN DAYS

free will astrology

L RE A

JUNE 01-07

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In all my years of evaluating your astrological omens, I have rarely seen a time so favorably disposed to the value and pleasure of variety. I’m tempted to conclude that the cosmos is conspiring for you to try all 32 flavors, 46 positions and 64 loopholes. For a limited time only, you really should be determined to sample a little of a lot rather than a lot of a little. Grazing and browsing are not only fine, they’re preferable. You have a poetic license to be mercurial, spontaneous and inscrutable.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have the best opportunity in a long time to promote yourself without turning into a manipulative huckster or soul-shrunken sell-out. At least temporarily, you have immunity from the phoniness that might infect anyone else who pushed her wares and services as hard as you can push them in the coming weeks. Please take advantage of this grace period to make sure the world knows how valuable you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her book Strange New Species: Astonishing Discoveries of Life on Planet Earth, Elin Kelsey writes that though scientists have named 1.7 million species, at least 3.3 million others are still out there, as yet unidentified. In a similar way, Gemini, there are many invigorating adventures and intoxicating truths that you have not yet discovered — countless life experiences that remain unknown to you. It so happens that this is a perfect time to jumpstart your pioneering urges and go out exploring those frontiers. In the coming days, I urge you to find at least one new variety of each of the following: allies, sanctuaries, resources, inspirations and pleasures.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Blogger Joseph Cannon has uncovered evidence that George W. Bush may be the grandson of the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley. On his website at http://snipurl.com/pler, Cannon says there’s a distinct possibility that Bush’s mother,

Barbara Bush, was conceived during a ritual tryst between Crowley and her mother Pauline in 1924. I’m not sufficiently informed on the matter to ascertain if it’s true, though I can’t help but note the strong physical resemblance between Aleister and Barbara. I bring this up because it’s an excellent time for all of you Cancerians, including the current American president, to delve into the mysteries of your past. Secrets that have always been hidden are more likely to pop into view than ever before. If you’re listening, your ancestors have clues to reveal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A team of Japanese cultural analysts was assigned the task of figuring out the best possible pick-up line. The winner: “Rainen no kono hi mo issho ni waratteiyoh.” In English, that’s “This time next year, let’s be laughing together.” I present this expression for your consideration, Leo, because I think it’s a perfectly poetic way to alert you to imminent developments in your life. As I understand the astrological omens, you’re about to experience transformations whose power to fascinate and amuse you will not fully ripen until June of 2007. They may be subtle at first, but will slowly build in intensity as the months go by.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the course of reducing the mystery of nature to a set of mechanical laws, Charles Darwin suffered greatly. “I cannot endure to read a line of poetry,” he mourned in his journal. “I have tried to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me. I have almost lost my taste for pictures and music. I lament this curious loss of my higher aesthetic tastes . . . My mind seems to have become a machine for grinding general laws, out of larger collections of facts, but why this should have caused the atrophy of that part of the brain alone, on which the higher tastes depend, I cannot conceive.” I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I want you to be very careful not to let your love of logic and reason damage your capacity to perceive magic and enjoy the ineffa-

Ideally, of course, you’ll always be able to draw on both capacities equally. It’s a crucial moment in the evolution of your power to do that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In a round table discussion published in Newsweek, film director Steven Spielberg touted the value of anxiety in stimulating creativity. “Fear is your ally,” he said. “The minute you come onto a set and you’re no longer afraid, you’re in big trouble. The best performances — from filmmakers and from actors — have happened when there are whole stretches of tremendous instability about the process.” I personally don’t believe this is an absolute law that’s always true. Some of my best work has emerged during times when I’ve felt secure and peaceful. But I do think Spielberg’s theory is likely to apply to you in the coming weeks, Libra. Dare to put yourself in the midst of uncertainty.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In her poem “Possession,” Jane Shore describes how the “La Brea tar pits/ keep disgorging ancient bones, squeezing them/ through the oily black muscles of earth/ to the surface.” She’s referring to the place in Los Angeles where there are lakes of natural asphalt that contain the fossils of ancient mammals. These grails of ancient goo, with their seemingly endless new supply of primeval treasures, serve as an excellent metaphor for the psychic terrain you’re inhabiting these days.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It would not be a good time to try digging a hole to China. You’d have visa problems once you got there, and might end up under arrest. A better bet would be drilling a tunnel to Australia, where you’d probably get more slack once you arrived. In general, Sagittarius, I heartily recommend any activity that takes you to the polar opposite of where you’ve been hanging out, as long as you’re sure you’ll be welcome there.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Race car drivers say that if you’re heading toward a wall,” writes philosopher Jonathan Zap, “don’t look at it. Instead, look at where you want to go.” That’s good advice for you in the coming week, Capricorn. It would be crazy for you to concentrate all your attention on what you don’t like and don’t need and don’t agree with. Rather, you should briefly acknowledge the undesirable possibilities, but then turn the full force of your focus to the most interesting and fulfilling option.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the course of most pregnancies, there is a moment when the fetus first moves in such a way that the mother-to-be can feel it. It’s often a kick or a punch. I predict that an analogous quickening will occur for you in the coming week, Aquarius. You’ll arrive at a threshold where a rite of passage will begin. It may be as subtle as a soft, billowing thump or as radical as a raucous yelp. At that uncanny moment, you’ll become aware that a new force has sprung to life. You’ll become attuned to a delivery from the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A British man named Adrian Hayward had a dream in which an odd event occurred during a soccer game. In his dream, a famous player kicked the ball into the goal from his own half of the field — an improbable long-distance shot that rarely occurs in real games. Following the dream, Hayward placed a wager with a bookmaker, betting that such a goal would actually be scored in the course of the real British soccer season. He later won $45,000 when a player for Liverpool did exactly what he’d dreamed. If you take the trouble to recall your own dreams in the coming week, Pisces, I predict you will get at least one hot tip akin to Hayward’s.

LOLA

the love counselor Dear Lola, I feel so guilty I can hardly even bring myself to write to you. I am a 15-year-old boy, and I’ve been masturbating many times a week since I was 12. I know that it’s a sin, and in every other respect I lead a good Christian life. I have tried praying and reading Scripture, but this is one bad habit I just can’t seem to shake. I would talk to my pastor but I’m too embarrassed. I know that if I don’t get a handle on this problem pretty soon I’ll wind up in hell. Please, please, help me! Sinning in South Burlington Dear Sinning, I can’t comment on the condition of your soul, except to say that not every religion — or even every brand of Christianity — sees masturbation as a sure ticket to hell. Physical and mental health caregivers recognize self-stimulation as a normal, healthy and very common activity, not to mention a useful outlet for relieving excess energy. Practiced in moderation, the only thing wrong with it is the way it gets twisted around and makes folks feel guilty. Love, Lola
