weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER
Blog: The Carpetbagger Report
ALL WELCOME We are writing in response to the article on economic integration in Burlington’s elementary schools [“Not in My Neighborhood School,� Nov. 1]. The article reported that some Burlington parents are reluctant to share their children’s classrooms with children from other neighborhoods. We, the officers of the C.P. Smith Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization, would like to state emphatically that we embrace and support any and every child who is or will be enrolled at C.P. Smith. We wholeheartedly welcome all of these children’s families to be a part of the C.P. Smith community. Ellen Zeman
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com
HAGGARD TELLS CONGREGATION: “I AM A DECEIVER AND A LIAR� When we last left evangelical leader Ted Haggard, he was admitting to have bought (but not used) methamphetamines, but continued to deny having an affair with a gay prostitute. There were, shall we say, some lingering doubts about Haggard’s evolving defense. Then the church released a statement explaining that Haggard would offer an “explanation� at this morning’s services. Apparently, the broken man has finally stopped lying. “The fact is I am guilty of sexual immorality, and I take responsibility for the entire problem. I am a deceiver and a liar. There’s a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I have been warring with it all of my adult life.� Of course, Haggard never stopped bashing gays during his life-long “war�; he just blamed gays for society’s ills.
BURLINGTON
Zeman is secretary of the C.P. Smith PTO. PTO officers Helen Hossley, Ann Arcovitch, Martine Gulick and Sharon Schroeder also signed this letter.
Matthew Yglesias raised a good-but-unrealistic point about the theocon movement taking an introspective moment in the wake of the Haggard scandal. “Obviously Tony Perkins, James Dobson, etc. — know him, get along with him, and have worked with him as a colleague, like him, think he’s a good man, and so forth. And Dobson and Perkins aren’t alone. Lots of people have worked with or for Haggard over the years. He’s a widely respected man in this country. Should all those people who know him, and have followed him really so sharply revise their views of Haggard, or should they revise their views of gay people?�
TUNNEL VISION Thank you for your coverage of the recent public forums regarding socio-economic integration in Burlington schools [“Not in My Neighborhood School,� Nov. 1]. I was particularly struck by the group Burlingtonians for Responsible Change (BFRC). Their website states that it has been launched “to provide an unbiased and condensed version of the plans that are being made around town as they happen.� BFRC is not offering this. The
Maybe they could stop for a moment and consider the fact that the man they revered turned out to be gay. Or maybe not. Posted November 5 by Steve Benen Visit Cathy’s blog — 802 Online: A blog about Vermont, its media and its internets — for a growing list of 2x3-rolfing020905-rosenthal 7/19/06 12:55 PM Vermont blogs: http://7Dblogs.com/802online
URL www.nobusforus.com shows the group already has decided. BFRC’s dissatisfaction with the small group discussion forums is also telling. They are afraid to speak one on one with their neighbors. Tom Treat comments on the BFRC website, “Has anyone considered the negative effects of grouping students of different socioeconomic backgrounds? How will the self-esteem of these lowincome kids be affected when they realize that some kids go on vacations, get fancy toys, wear fancy clothes, and live in nicer houses? This is transparent to these kids at this age when everyone in their school is the same.� That this group is promoting raising children to be unaware of socio-economic diversity puts the icing on my cake of disgust. While I’m not sure what the answer is, I support the task force, and thoughtful, calm discussion. These are not decisions to be taken lightly. As a young couple looking to raise a family in Burlington, and to send our children to Burlington schools, my husband and I want to see this issue discussed, not steamrolled by fear. Jill Forward BURLINGTON
WATER RIGHTS In response to Vermont State Toxicologist Bill Bress, I dutifully downloaded “Drinking Water Criteria Document for
Chloramine,� which he directed the public to read in his letter to the editor last week. What I was able to find in Chapter 6, “Health Effects in Humans,� was this: “There are no epidemiologic studies that have been designed to address specifically the potential adverse effects of exposure to chloramines on human health.� That report also said that chloramine was “not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity,� due to inadequate data. If the document states that “In humans, health effects do not appear to be associated with levels of residual chloramines typically found in drinking water� and another sentence in the same paper says, “There are no epidemiologic studies that have been designed to address specifically the potential adverse effects of exposure to chloramines on human health,� then it seems that there don’t appear to be any health effects from chloramines as a water disinfectant because there are no studies on chloramines as a water disinfectant. Hmm. Chapter 4, entitled “Human Exposure,� apparently doesn’t exist. In its place I read, “To Be Provided by the Office of Water.� Apparently, it never was. I did find on page 2 of the EPA paper: “DISCLAIMER — This report is an external draft for review purposes only and does not constitute Agency policy.� What

PEACE PARTNERS I would like to recommend to everyone who uses computers the website www.partnersforpeace.org. The quote from the rabbi in Seven Days [“Scholar Who Calls Anti-Semitism the ‘Jewish Race
Card’ to Speak at UVM,� September 27] who objected to bringing up the subject — during the High Holy Days — of the war crimes of the Israeli capitalist state against Palestinians and people in Lebanon must have forgotten what these days are about. They are not supposed to be a period of selfcongratulation, but a time to look at the wrongs we have done to others, singly and collectively, and make amends and ask for forgiveness. This is a real opportunity for renewal, but on its own it seems
that no government with a religious tag seems able to do that — including our own. The above-mentioned website features stories by three women whom I was privileged to hear: Ghada Ageel, a Muslim Palestinian; Shireen Khamis, a Christian Palestinian; and Rela Mazali, a Jewish Israeli. They showed us what our own news media does not: the daily humiliations, the demolition of homes and violence, the oppressive hideousness of the checkpoints and the giant wall suffocating
Palestinian life and how the militarization of Israeli society intensifies the oppression of women there. This was the first time that I saw film footage of the large antiwar demonstrations that took place in Israel opposing the war against Lebanon — with women playing a significant role. And that more and more Israeli youth are refusing to oppress their Arab neighbors — for which they are sent to jail. The jail terms are repeated to punish the young refusers as much as possible. To change the situation in Israel and Palestine, we have to start at home — to stop the massive military aid to Israel and to repeal the laws punishing Palestinians for how they voted. Shame on Leahy, Jeffords and Sanders! Imagine if the Iraqis had the power to deny all Americans medical care because some of us voted for the Bush administration! And I think it is time to get the vigils moving — in peaceful massive demonstrations. Let us say loud and clear, voting with our feet and our voices, “Bring the troops home now from Iraq and Afghanistan!� Phyllis Rachel Larrabee WOODBURY
VEIL VOTE I don’t agree with Sandy Baird’s letter last week that the veil is an instrument of domination and control of women by men. The world is inhabited by many, many women who want to wear it, and who will fight for that right. I see the burka and the veil as a fashion statement, and creating a sense of mystery is, at this point in time, a jolt to Western eyes. I would submit that T.E. Lawrence did not embark upon his anti-Turkish endeavors wearing a helmet. Susan Ballway BURLINGTON

BURLINGTON — Employees of Burlington’s largest nonprofit agency that provides food, clothing and shelter to the city’s homeless population marched in Burlington last week to drum up support for their right to organize. A new union, formed under the rubric of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, represents about 46 full- and part-time workers at COTS — the Committee on Temporary Shelter — and already claims the support of 80 percent of the staff. Workers say they’re asking man-
several expressed general concerns about job security, adequate staffing, overall workplace conditions and the level of communication between them and the organization’s leadership. According to Harold Kaplan, who’s worked at COTS since 1991, the idea of forming a union has been kicking around for the last four years. He says it only came to fruition recently after one of his co-workers, who reportedly was in good standing, was let go after voicing concerns to her superiors about job security. “She specifically said, ‘I’m
We’re not asking for outrageous things. We’re just asking for a voice. EMILY CASEY, COTS CASE WORKER

agement and the COTS board of directors to voluntarily recognize the union and negotiate their first contract, rather than challenging its legitimacy and precipitating a potentially costly and contentious public fight. On November 2, some 70 people, including about a dozen rank-and-file members of other Burlington-area unions, gathered outside the COTS Waystation at Church and King streets for a candlelight vigil and march. Accompanied by local banjo player Rik Palieri, the marchers followed a route similar to the annual “COTS Walk,� a fundraiser that supports the organization’s four daytime and overnight shelters. Though the workers and organizers were reluctant to discuss their specific grievances,
concerned about retribution,’� says Kaplan, who didn’t identify the dismissed worker. “She was fired within three weeks of that statement. “We’re not trying to air all of our dirty laundry in the press,� he adds, “but we need to get information out to the community that all is not well in the land of Oz.� Emily Casey, who’s been a case manager at COTS for about a year, says the union drive isn’t about seeking higher wages and benefits, especially since the entire COTS staff recently got a raise. “We’re not asking for outrageous things. We’re just asking for a voice,� Casey says. “A bunch of other nonprofit organizations in town have organized and made it through it. It’s scary at first, but it’s a good thing.�
COTS board member David Conard says he only learned about the union drive two weeks ago. The news came as “a complete and total surprise� to him and other board members, he says, especially since COTS already pays its full-time employees a livable wage and provides them with full medical and dental benefits. “Right now, we’re in an information-gathering phase,� Conard adds, “trying to learn as much as we can about how [the union] would affect our ability to fulfill our mission.� The board won’t make a decision about recognizing the union before its next regularly scheduled meeting on November 16, where the union will be “a primary agenda item,� he says. As of press time, COTS Executive Director Rita Markley was out of town due to a death in her family and was unavailable to comment for this story. Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington is one of several community leaders who have been involved in the unionizing effort. Chasan, along with state Rep. Mark Larson (DBurlington) and City Councilor Tim Ashe (P-Ward 3) have been urging the board to voluntarily recognize the union, while also asking workers to refrain from holding a workplace action, such as a strike or walkout, before the board can meet next week. Chasan, who’s spoken with Markley and the board on several occasions in recent weeks, says the board “has not sent any encouraging messages� to the workers about their effort to unionize, though several members have signaled that recognition will be “seriously considered.� If the board doesn’t accept the union and decides instead to

WAITSFIELD — It was the heroin overdose death of a 21-year-old Warren man early this year that alerted the Mad River Valley to the immediacy of its drug problem. A subsequent spree of breakins at local businesses has further dramatized the changing character of an area once known mainly for its skiing. The valley is responding, in part, by launching a Neighborhood Watch program intended to “multiply the effectiveness” of state police efforts to stem drug-related crime, says local organizer Fred Messer. Through funding from the federal Department of Homeland Security, residents and business
allegations is one of the points Imburgio plans to stress at the valley’s initial Neighborhood Watch training session, scheduled to take place Nov. 14 at Waitsfield Elementary School at 7 p.m. Imburgio, who oversees state police patrols in the Mad River Valley, doesn’t doubt the dimensions of the local heroin problem. In fact, he says, hard drugs and the crime that accompanies their use have become common in large parts of the state. Returning to the Middlesex barracks after an extended assignment in Bradford, “I was astonished by the amount of heroin in central Vermont,” Imburgio says.
Trafficking is flowing between Canada and New York, and Vermont is becoming a safe haven for dealers driven out of more urban areas. WAYNE WHITELOCK
owners are being trained in how to protect their own premises and safeguard their neighbors’. Messer and some other valley residents express confidence in the initiative, which also involves posting roadside Neighborhood Watch signs. “It’s been proven in other areas to have made a difference,” says Troy Kingsbury, owner of Village Deli and Grocery in Waitsfield, which is among the businesses burglarized in recent months. Others raise concerns about what they characterize as a surveillance program, warning it could encourage vigilantism, not just vigilance. Messer, the chairman of the valley’s emergency planning committee, views such concerns as baseless. “Neighborhood Watch isn’t like it was years ago. Today, it’s strictly about neighbors looking out for neighbors,” he says. State Police Lt. John Imburgio describes Neighborhood Watch as “a great idea.” He adds, however, “I am concerned about its implementation. The volume of information coming to us will certainly increase, but the quality maybe won’t be there.” Imburgio explains that Neighborhood Watch can inspire anonymous tips, “but the courts don’t like anonymous tips. They can involve saying anything about anybody.” The importance of attributing
Wayne Whitelock, a Presbyterian minister in Calais who leads Neighborhood Watch training sessions, describes the upsurge in drug-related crime as central Vermont’s “big untold story.” In Waitsfield alone, he notes, a gardening center, a health clinic, a pharmacy and a couple of convenience stores have all recently been hit — some more than once. “We don’t know if it’s our kids getting into trouble or outsiders passing through here,” says deli owner Kingsbury. Arrests made so far reveal the perps to be Vermonters. One Waitsfield merchant whose store has been ransacked “a few times” says thieves from Burlington and Essex were nabbed in connection with two of those break-ins. But bad-guy residents aren’t entirely responsible for central Vermont’s property-crime wave, Whitelock maintains. “Trafficking is flowing between Canada and New York,” he says, “and Vermont is becoming a safe haven for dealers driven out of more urban areas.”
push the decision to the National Labor Relations Board — which has turned decidedly anti-union in recent years — “We will have a train wreck on our hands,” Chasan remarks. The union drive comes at a somewhat delicate time of year for the nonprofit, which may be reluctant to generate bad publicity during the holiday season, when many of its supporters are making decisions about end-ofthe-year charitable donations. Generally speaking, COTS has a
stellar reputation among Burlington-area nonprofits, as does its executive director. As one worker remarked about Markley, “She walks on water in this town.” Workers also express reluctance to cause undue harm to their organization or to put added stress on their clients, who already have difficult lives. In 2005, COTS’ two family shelters provided housing to 575 people — including 311 children — a 30-percent increase from the previous year. Likewise,
Vermonters need to adjust their attitudes to reflect this new reality, Whitelock adds. “There’s a lifestyle acceptance in Vermont that has been admirable but can become conducive to unwittingly tolerating behavior that’s destructive to our communities,” he declares. Policing patterns may have to change as well if more crimes are to be prevented. None of the five towns in the Mad River Valley has its own police force. Says Lt. Imburgio, “I’ve only got two to five State Police officers to cover 18 towns in central Vermont.” This thin gray line means “the idea of having a police officer at your doorstep in five minutes isn’t something that’s guaranteed,” Whitelock points out. For five hours a day — 2 to 7 a.m. — there are no state police patrols in central Vermont. “Officers do respond to emergencies once they’re awakened,” Imburgio says, “but no one’s out there on a routine basis in the middle of the night.” “The criminals all know this,” says Kingsbury, who notes that his deli/grocery was broken into at

It’s interesting how they’re threatened by the workers’ voice. It’s like ‘union’ is a dirty word.” �

I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be... I love food, all food, but I can’t think of any one I would like to eat forever.
If I had a million dollars I would... buy lots more investment property and retire much earlier than currently planned.

On a saturday night you will most likely find me... hanging out with friends. Dinner and a show is my favorite way to spend an evening.
My favorite toy as a kid was... my Big Wheel. I’ve always liked to drive.
something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance... I’d love to take an around the world cruise. So many great destinations, so little time.
If there isn’t a live performance that interests me I’ll see just about any movie. If I could have dinner with any famous person, dead or alive, I would choose... Abraham Lincoln. I’ve been reading Team of Rivals and I would love to hear the story of his life from his perspective. He lived in a very interesting time.

BURLINGTON — A lot of new construction is taking place on Shelburne Road, at the outskirts of Burlington. Several old buildings have been torn down and new ones have begun to rise. Still, the abandoned, graffiti-covered Panda Inn remains an eyesore. The former Chinese restaurant has been vacant since Davis Chan murdered his business partners there in 1999. Kinney Drugs purchased the property in 2005. In January, the chain filed plans with the city to build an 11,500-square-foot drugstore. The city’s Design Review Board approved the proposal last spring, and a large sign on the property announces that Kinney Drugs is opening a store in November 2006.
We’re opposed to the loss of green space, and the commercial exit on Prospect Parkway. ATTORNEY JEFF WICK
But now that Election Day has come and gone, that seems unlikely. What’s the holdup? Turns out the neighbors didn’t like Kinney’s plans. The Shelburne Road/Prospect Parkway Association of Neighbors (SPAN) has hired a lawyer and appealed the project. It’s currently tied up in environmental court. Lawyers for both sides have filed the necessary documents and completed two days of hearings. They’re now awaiting judgment, which could come any day. What’s not to like about Kinney? SPAN representative Jeff Wick says there’s nothing wrong with the Delaware-based company. “Nobody’s opposed to Kinney,� he says. “We’re opposed to the loss of green space, and the commercial exit on Prospect Parkway.�
Wick points out that the company plans to cut down some trees on the south side of Prospect Parkway to make way for its exit. He argues that the foliage reduces light and sound pollution, and “acts as a bufferâ€? for the neighborhood. Wick, a lawyer who lives on West Cove Road, adds that the increased traffic will hurt the community of 2x5-CBHB110806.indd well-appointed homes up the hill. He points out that parts of his neighborhood have no sidewalks, so anyone out for a stroll must walk in the street. That includes his family, but he says it also includes the Rice High School track team, which runs in the area, and young mothers from the Lund Center pushing baby carriages. Kinney’s developers claim the store would not be commercially viable without the exit onto Prospect Parkway. Wick calls that “a baloney argument.â€? He says “an overwhelming numberâ€? of his neighbors oppose the project as it’s proposed. “Clearly, we just feel that it would be a detriment to the character of the neighborhood.â€? But Ernie Pomerleau, president of Pomerleau Realty, which is representing Kinney, dismisses the neighbors’ claims. “Frankly, I’m very pleased with the project,â€? he says. Pomerleau notes that plans were approved fairly quickly by the city, and points out that even though traffic will exit onto Prospect Parkway, Kinney won’t be cutting down all the trees. “We’re keeping 65 feet of vegetation in its natural state, except for where they’re cutting through for the exit,â€? Pomerleau says. He’s confident of the project’s eventual success in court, he says. “We brought in a dozen expert witnesses. They brought in none.â€? Wick shares Pomerleau’s assessment of SPAN’s chances in court. He says he had hoped the developers would relent, but he’s not surprised that they fought to keep their exit. He says, with resignation in his voice, “That’s capitalism.â€? ďż˝

The Times They Are a-Changin’
B
e forewarned — yours truly is writing this week’s column on Tuesday before the polls close. The Seven Days printing schedule rules. Unlike The Burlington Free Press, Vermont’s premier weekly does not own a printing press. Hey, aren’t newspapers — ones made out of newsprint — getting oldfashioned? Yes, indeed. Bob Dylan’s inside our ears this morning. The times, they are indeed achangin’. For one thing, yours truly has become a blogger. Old dog, new trick, eh? “Freyne Land” was born at the everchanging Seven Days website. And we’ve had the cyberspace pleasure of meeting a whole lot of familiar, as well as new, voices “out there” in the Vermont political blogosphere. So, for the election post-mortem, we’ll see you over there in the clickable universe. One thing we can do right now, however, is let that big grin spill across our Irish kisser. From now on, Bernie Sanders will be called “Senator Sanders.” Another unique Vermont gift to the nation. Can’t wait for “Meet the Press,” eh? Senator-elect Sanders embodies a direct link to the revolutionary spirit and the commitment to justice of the civil rights and antiwar struggles of the 1960s and early 1970s. He’s kept the faith. Right now, though, a brief pause would be nice, to recall some of those old battles with Burlington Mayor Bernie Sanders. Quiet little Vermont had never really experienced “loud” and “pushy” before. Loud and pushy, however, were Sanders’ breadand-butter communication skills. And passion was never, ever in short supply. In 1981, after several unsuccessful attempts, it all clicked in a four-way Burlington mayor’s race. The 10-vote miracle victory happened. Yours truly’s “postgraduate” years behind the wheel of a Chicago taxi turned out to be the perfect prep work for dealing with Bernie the Bully on a regular basis. When Mayor Sanders called a presser — which he did almost every damn day back then — it was our job to ask the questions. Hizzoner did not like it. Did not like being questioned beyond the approved, acceptable softball inquiry. That’s why the first nickname Sanders got in this column way back in the early 1980s, then in the Vanguard Press, was “Lord Bernie.” In those days, yours truly was a whole lot more popular with Republicans. Obviously Ol’ Bernardo has mellowed. Haven’t we all? Winning is enormously important to him, but it all starts with having something worth fighting for. The principles, the actual policy, is what counts to Bernie Sanders. Last week London’s The Guardian had a feature on Vermont’s new senator written by its Washington bureau chief Julian Borger: He is an unapologetic socialist and proud of it. Even his admirers admit that he lacks social skills, and he tends to speak in tirades. Yet that has not stopped him winning eight consecutive elections to the U.S. House of Representatives.

14.99 “Twenty years ago, when people here “Delighted to see so many thought about socialism, they were thinking vegetarian opti on s. Great service about the Soviet Union, about Albania,” Mr. & ambiance.” Sanders told the Guardian in a telephone -Mary Alice interview from the campaign trail. “Now they think about Scandinavia. In Vermont, people understand I’m talking about democratic socialism.” h[i[hlWj_edi m[bYec[ John McClaughry, the head of a free-market Vermont think tank, the Ethan Allen 2x5-designerscirc110806 11/7/06 10:24 AM Page 1 ef[d [l[ho ZWo Wj *0)& Institute, said Mr. Sanders is a throwback to that era. “Bernie Sanders is an unreconstructed 1930s socialist and proud of it. He’s a 2x5-bobcat110806.indd 1 11/7/06 11:13:18 AM skillful demagogue who casts every issue in that framework, a master practitioner of class warfare.” When Mr. Sanders, a penniless but eloquent import from New York, got himself elected mayor of Burlington in 1981, at the height of the cold war, it rang some alarm bells. “I had to persuade the air force base across the lake that Bernie’s rise didn’t mean there was a communist takeover of Burlington,” recalled Garrison Nelson, a politics professor at the University of Vermont.” Yes, indeed, whatever happened to the communists, anyway? Is it true their real target all along was the National Hockey “One day, honey, I’ll get you that League? bigger diamond.” This anniversary, What a nice compliment from John show her you haven’t forgotten.

Reed-y). Ethan’s just 30 years old, but he’s been active in Vermont political campaigns for almost 20 years! Many of you know his much-heralded mom — former Addison County State Senator and Vermont State Auditor Elizabeth Ready. Chainsaw Liz’s first state senate race was in 1988. She had quite the run. Ethan told “Inside Track� the other day he started knocking on doors when he was 12. He worked on his mom’s campaigns as well as for the Democratic Party and the Vermont State Employees Association. And he had quite the field-organizer reputation when Rep. Bernie Sanders recruited him a year ago to be the field director for his historic U.S. Senate bid. Ol’ Bernardo wanted the best, and in Ethan Ready he got it. “It’s an organizer’s dream to work for Bernie,� said Mr. Ready, “because people react strongly to his message.� Ready may be more familiar with the highways and byways of the state of Vermont than any other field director out there. He’s certainly knocked on more Vermont doors and chatted up more total strangers than anyone we know. “We’ve been at it for a year,�

Dean Land — Vermont’s wellknown doctor-governor, Howard Brush Dean III, may not have won his party’s 2004 presidential nomination, but he certainly looks poised on Tuesday afternoon to be in the right place at the right time. Dean is the indefatigable chairman of the Democratic National Committee, just when many a GOP incumbent coast to coast appears ready to go down in flames. Even in red states. It wasn’t that long ago, perhaps just months, that Howard Dean was still winning scorn from his party’s prominent centrist/conservative wing, represented by the well-endowed Democratic Leadership Council. There was no love lost between them. Dean called the DLC “the Republican wing of the Democratic Party.� And it’s no secret that the DLC was not happy with Dr. Dean as DNC chairman and, in particular, not happy at all with his “50-state election strategy� — the very strategy that on Tuesday appears to be positively groundbreaking!

Not-to-be-UnDunne — Democrat Matt Dunne, even if he finishes in second place, appears to have used the 2006 Lite-Gov race to his advantage. He’s had incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie running and ducking and finally fighting back in the closing days. Gov. Jim Douglas cut a one-minute radio spot for him, and Dubie pumped out a TV spot attacking Sen. Dunne’s attendance record. Win or lose, Not-to-beUnDunne looks like an early favorite to win the 2008 Democratic nomination for governor. Dunne’s introduction of “service politics� and his radical notion that “for $61,000 the lieutenant governor’s job should be a full-time job� have won him some well-earned notoriety. If the Throw the Bums Out Tsunami is a 4 out of 5, Brian Dubie’s got problems.

Before you start excoriating the numbskulls, bub, you’d better make sure you’ve got the facts straight yourself. Though some percentage of Americans doubtless believes in a “young Earthâ€? (i.e., our planet is less than 10,000 years old), as far as I can tell that wasn’t the subject of the 2004 study. Most likely what you heard about was a 2004 Gallup poll that asked about the less bizarre though still pretty outthere belief that humanity is less than 10,000 years old. Gallup first surveyed U.S. adults on this score in 1982 and has asked the same question several times since, most recently in May 2006. Participants can choose one of three answers: • “God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so.â€? It’s fair to describe this as the creationist view. • “Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process.â€? We’ll call this the theistic view. • “Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process.â€? I’ll term this the naturalist view. Between 1982 and 2006, the number subscribing to the creationist view has ranged from 44 to 47 percent, while those who buy the naturalist take on things account for 9 to 13 percent. The middleground theistic position gets 35 to 40 percent of the vote. There’s no clear trend over the 24 years; if anything, the naturalists have gained a few percentage points. Polls by the Pew Research Center and NBC News have found similar support for creationist belief, while surveys by CBS News from 2004 to 2006 and a 2005 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll give it a slim majority, at 51 to 53 percent. To a degree, survey results reflect how the question is framed. Pew Research notes that its polls have found much wider belief in evolution than Gallup’s, 26 percent versus 13 percent. The reason, Pew speculates, is that it doesn’t mention God in the choices it offers participants, while Gallup does. Not wishing to declare themselves unbelievers, more Gallup respondents opt for the wishy-washy theist choice. The creationist numbers, on the other hand,

Dear Cecil, I saw an article the other day saying that 45 percent of the U.S. population believes that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old. That would certainly explain the election results of the past few years, but I don’t believe it. A near majority of Americans simply cannot be that retarded. I looked on the Web and did find a claim that a 2004 study showed this. But it provided no cite and I haven’t been able to find any such study. Does it exist, or is this just an urban myth being passed witlessly around by the lower grade of media? (Don’t use my name if you publish this, as it could affect my military contracts.) Anonymous, via email
can’t be so easily explained away. Face it — despite seemingly abundant scientific evidence that humans are part of a primate family tree going back tens of millions of years, roughly half the country isn’t having any of it. If you’ve a mind to put a blue state/red state, slicks/yokels spin on matters, the polls offer lots of ammunition. A 2005 Harris poll reported that 73 percent of Republicans believed in creationism as opposed to 58 percent of Democrats and 57 percent of independents. (The numbers are higher across the board likely because of phrasing that, again, seemed to equate creationism with belief in God.) This poll also found that people in the Northeast and West were much less likely to believe in creationism than those in the South and Midwest, and that people over age 55 were much more likely to believe than those under. A 1991 Gallup survey found that college graduates were less than half as likely to believe in creationism as those lacking a high school diploma. Likewise, those with an income greater than $50,000 per year were half as likely to be creationists as those with an income under $20,000. In 1997 Gallup reported that 5 percent of scientists believed in creationism, which depending on how you look at it is either alarming or a relief. How does the U.S. compare with other countries in terms of belief in evolution? Not so hot. A study of attitudes in 34 countries published in Science in 2006 shows that the United States ranks last in popular acceptance of evolution except for Turkey. Almost 40 percent of Americans in this study flatly rejected evolution, whereas the comparable numbers in European countries and Japan ranged from 7 to 15 percent. That may partly reflect U.S. high school kids’ dismal math and science scores relative to other developed countries, which to my mind underscores a home truth: The more you know, the less you take on faith.

wo thirtysomething women, a blonde and a redhead, had just gotten into the back of my taxi and were conversing boisterously. They hadn’t, however, said a word to me, as if the taxi’s rear seat were a park bench and I just a random passerby. “Ladies?� I finally intervened. When I’m doing the hacking thing, I’m all about getting the show on the road. “Oh, my goodness,� the blonde responded. “Where are our manners?� She spoke with a charming Southern accent, which I found especially intriguing coming from the mouth of an attractive woman. “Donna, where are we going? Back to the hotel, or what do you have in mind?� “Well that depends . . .� Donna replied. “Where are the gay bars in this town?� Wow, I thought, I wouldn’t have guessed. Not that there aren’t probably lesbians who go in for the frou-frou stuff — big hair, frilly dresses, loads of makeup, floral perfume — that adorned these women. It’s just that, I don’t know, I didn’t see it. But, really, I mused with an

The mental machinations over, I turned in my seat and said, “Well, for years there was one popular gay bar, but it recently closed. I don’t know what to tell you — we have a real vital lesbian community in Burlington, so you’d think there’d be some clubs.� The two of them cracked up. “Oh, honey — we ain’t lesbians!� Donna said, dabbing an eye with the back of her wrist. “We just love to party with gay men. They’re so much more fun-loving! We’re from Atlanta, and down our way it’s, like, hipper to be gay. Wouldn’t you say, Susie?� “Oh, I certainly think so,� Susie agreed. “Anyway, we really have to get up early for our conference, so why don’t we just head back to the Sheraton?� Just then my cellphone jingled. It was Ronald, a customer I’ve been driving since Bush the Elder was president and, as always, he needed a ride back to his place near the airport. “Hang on a sec, Ron,� I said dropping the phone into my lap. “Ladies, do you mind if we pick up a guy going in your direction?� “Is he cute?� Susie shot back, sending her and Donna into a new paroxysm of howling. “Ronald? Oh, yeah, he’s cute, all right,� I lied. The man wasn’t exactly unattractive; he was just your typical, working-class Vermont guy, all flannelshirted and short grunts. Myself, I’ve always enjoyed his company, as he was the best joke teller I’d ever met. Ronald’s
renditions were growled in a monotone with no unnecessary elaboration, just a headlong rush to the punch line. All of which I found hilarious. We rounded up Ronald at JP’s Pub, 10/30/06 3:29:49 PM and he took the shotgun seat. His eyes lit2x4-UltimateBootCamp110106.indd 1 up when he spied the women behind him. Ronald loves the ladies. In my experience, he is singularly unsuccessful in his pursuit of them, but that anemic track record has never appeared to dampen his ardor. “Well, well,� he began his feckless rap.
“What brings you two lovely ladies to our fair town?� “Well, well, Ronald,� Susie replied, ! “we’re here for a conference on residential
property management.�
“Residential property management,â€? Ronald repeated, jaunty as could be. ! “That’s cool, that’s very cool.â€? “Mr. Driver,â€? Donna asked as we crossed Spear Street, “can we stop at this store for a minute?â€? “No problem,â€? I said, and pulled into the Exxon station. The two friends entered the store and I was left alone with Ronald. He said, “Dude, those are a couDiane Charland, MD ple of hot women.â€? Anne Viselli, MD “Yup, that they are.

We pulled back onto Williston Road and immediately into the left-hand-turn lane for the Sheraton. As we awaited the green arrow, my seatmate turned to face the back, a goofy, decidedly non-Ronald-like grin on his face. “Isn’t this town fabulous?â€? he piped up. Mysteriously, his voice was now about an octave higher. In the rear-view mirror I saw the women glance at each other and roll their eyes. “Oh, it’s fabulous, Ronald,â€? Susie answered. “I bet the rooms in the Sheraton are the bomb,â€? Ron kept at it, now adding an unsubtle bobbing of the wrists. God knows where he was getting this from — Paul Lynde on “Hollywood Squaresâ€?? The green arrow mercifully appeared, and we rolled to the front of the hotel. Donna reached over to hand me a ten, telling me to “keep it.â€? As they got out Susie added, “Gentlemen, it’s been real,â€? and arm in arm they went giggling into the lobby. Before getting back underway, I turned to look at Ron in disbelief. “What?â€? he offered unapologetically, staring right back at me. “Look, it was worth a shot.â€? ďż˝

Curses, Foiled Again Police in Clark County, Ore., reported receiving a call from a motorist who said he noticed smoke coming from a public utility district regulator station, stopped and spotted a man on fire inside the fenced area. Police and fire fighters responded, but the live electrical wires prevented them from reaching the victim for 45 minutes until the power could be turned off. After investigators found a hole cut in the fence, they concluded that the dead man had been electrocuted while trying to steal copper wire when he cut a live wire carrying 7200 volts.

Avoirdupois Follies Overweight drivers use almost a billion extra gallons of gas a year to tote the added load, according to researcher Sheldon H. Jacobsen, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois. His statistical study concluded that men today weigh 25 pounds more than they did in 1960, women 26 pounds more. That extra weight requires 983 million gallons more gas, costing, at $2.20 a gallon, $2.2 billion a year. “What we have here is a relationship that exists between the obesity epidemic and fuel consumption,â€? Jacobson said, adding that if people would lose weight, “we’re actually going to reduce our dependence on foreign oil very covertly, simply because we’re going to be using less.â€? • Researchers at Oregon State University reported that obese folks prefer a car-centered existence. As a result, the study con-

When Color-Coded Duct Tape Isn’t Enough Oklahoma Republican Bill Crozier, a candidate for state superintendent of school, proposed that schools place thick, used textbooks under desks so students can use them for self-defense during school shootings. Crozier demonstrated his plan with a 10-minute video showing him and his aides shooting math, language and telephone books with various weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle and a 9 mm pistol. The rifle bullet penetrated two books, including a calculus textbook, but only one book was needed

to stop the pistol bullet. “People might think it’s kind of weird, crazy,â€? said Crozier, a teacher and former Air Force security officer. “It might be a way to deflect those bullets until police go there.â€? • The Burleson, Texas, school system paid a security company $2500 to teach students at its 11 schools to fight back if a gunman invades the classroom. “Getting under desks and praying for rescue from professionals is not a recipe for success,â€? said Robin Browne, an instructor with Response Options, which conducted the training. Students and teachers should “react immediately to the sight of a gun by picking up anything and everything and throwing it at the head and body of the attacker and making as much noise as possible,â€? Browne declared, insisting that just by using books, pencils and their own legs and arms, “five or six seventh-grade kids and a 95-pound art teacher can basically challenge, bring down and immobilize a 200-pound man with a gun.â€? The program lasted 18 months, until it made national news in October. After fielding calls from parents, law enforcement officials and other school districts, some expressing fear that the program could get youngsters killed, Burleson officials abruptly canceled the training, insisting they hadn’t known what it entailed.
Conclusive Evidence A district court in Finland sentenced a couple in their twenties to a year in jail for overcharging a 74-year-old man to fondle the woman’s bosom. The victim, who paid a total of 25,500 euros ($32,000) to enjoy the woman’s breasts on 10 occasions, suffers from dementia but told the court he paid the price willingly at the time. “Based
on general life experience alone, it is indisputably clear that a 25,500 euro charge is disproportionate to the compensation in question,� Judge Hasse Hakki, who heard the case, told Reuters news agency. He added, however, that the court in Kokkola declined to settle the matter of “the proper financial value of the compensation.�
Inside the Other People’s Republic A bar in eastern China has begun attracting customers by allowing them to beat up the staff. The official newspaper China Daily reported that the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing invites stressed-out customers to smash glasses, rant and attack specially trained workers. Clients can ask the 20 men, who have been given protective gear and physical training to prepare them for the job, to dress as the character they wish to attack. “The idea of beating someone decorated as your boss seems attractive,â€? customer Chen Liang said. • A Chinese woman in Hohhot, whose dog “was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive,â€? decided to let the dog try to drive her car while she operated the accelerator and brake, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. “They did not make it far,â€? Xinhua reported, “before crashing into an oncoming car.â€?

iven the clue “Puzzle editor,” you would probably answer, WILL SHORTZ. The New York Times crossword czar and star of the movie Wordplay has made his name nearly a household word. But hundreds of unsung wordsmiths also toil to feed the public’s appetite for mental entertainment. One of them is 30-year-old Maria Valiente, who edits crosswords, acrostics, cryptograms, logic probMaria Valiente lems and other brain benders for Crossword puzzle editor, Dell Magazines Dell Magazines from her BurlingBurlington ton apartment. For Valiente, it’s a dream job. Born in Argentina, she came to the States with her family when she was in elementary school. After college, where Valiente majored in English and communications, she looked for an editing job. Her first two positions — working on a reference book about grants and a medical journal — were “boring,” she says. Valiente had always liked puzzles, so when she spotted an opening for a crossword editor at Dell, she jumped at the chance. Five years later, she still enjoys it — especially since 2003, when she traded in her daily commute from Westchester County to Manhattan for a telecommute from Vermont. Valiente works the same hours as her coworkers — 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. — and keeps in touch with them via iChat. As the editor of the monthly Dell Crossword Puzzles Plus Variety!, she selects puzzles, answers fan mail, lays out pages, and revises clues to conform with Dell’s style rules — a multipage list that gets updated periodically. Keeping track of several issues that are at different stages of production is a challenge. “I’m scared of missing a step,” Valiente admits. “That’s why I keep such detailed lists.” Meticulous to-do notes are posted in her dining room/workspace, along with family photos and a Phish poster. A filing cabinet contains one-of-a-kind brainteasers catalogued according to type and difficulty. Twice a year Valiente returns to New York to replenish the supply from the stream that pours in from freelance “constructors” around the country. Today, proof pages from the March 2007 issue await inspection on the dining table. To one side sits a dictionary, and to the other a sharpened pencil. It’s decorated with flowers and Valiente’s name: MARIA. SEVEN DAYS: Have you ever constructed crossword puzzles? MARIA VALIENTE: I have not. It’s a whole different skill from editing. And that goes both ways. Some of our constructors are good at writing clues, but we have a very specific style in Dell. We don’t like any words repeated. SD: You mean you don’t like any answers repeated? MV: Oh, no. Answers repeated is completely out of the question. We won’t even have anything that’s the same root in the puzzle. If we have NEED, we’re not going to have the word NECESSARY in the puzzle. It’s not going to happen. We’ll change an entire diagram if we have to.
SD: And you follow the same standards for the clues? MV: We don’t like to use the same kind of clue more than once. So if we have a clue that says, “Cashew, for one” for NUT, we’re not going to have “Neptune, for one” for PLANET in the same puzzle. SD: What are some of your other rules? MV: We don’t want to use any words that could offend anybody. We also try to stay away from pop culture in the crosswords, just because it’s not fair to all of our solvers. SD: Who are your solvers? MV: It really ranges, but we do get a lot of older people.
SD: So you could refer to Lawrence Welk but not to Phish? MV: We tend to stick more with Mae West. Some things we do use after a time. For example, EVA comes up a lot in crosswords. EVA always went to Eva Peron. I remember trying about a year ago to do Eva Longoria from “Desperate Housewives.” They said, “Not yet.” But now we use her. SD: Do your puzzles always have a theme? MV: Our “Expert” and “Challengers” often have themes. We also have special crosswords that follow special rules, and they can be a lot of fun. We have one called a Misprint Crossword, and every clue has one letter that’s misprinted. Like in the clue for SENTRY, instead of “He might scream halt,” we might say, “He might scream salt.” SD: Do you have any advice for how to solve a crossword puzzle? MV: There’s just a lot of things that come up a lot in crosswords. A lot of three-letter words: EMU, AVA, EVA. ASP all the time. And some clues that, if you’ll look in any crossword, you’ll see them over and over — “Cleopatra’s downfall: ASP.” “Sturdy tree: OAK.” SD: Do you try to avoid those clichés? Or do you put them in to make the puzzle easier? MV: I would never use “Sturdy tree” for OAK in a “Hard”-level crossword. Our “Hards” are hard. Editing an “Expert” crossword, I’ve spent, like, two and a half hours just to come up with clever clues. SD: Which do you prefer, editing the easy ones or the hard ones? MV: I like the “Specials.” Those are definitely my favorite. I’m about to start working on an alliteration crossword, and those are really fun. The clue has to have every word start with the same letter, and each clue has to be at least four words. And we try to use the really difficult letters, like X. That’s a hard letter to use. But if you’re lucky enough to have the entry
NAME, then you can just say four names that start with the letter X: “This, this, this and that.” SD: Did you do crossword puzzles when you were a kid? MV: Yes. I’ve always been a fan of puzzles in general. I used to buy Dell. I love “Jeopardy,” I love trivia, I love Trivial Pursuit. SD: Did you do spelling bees? MV: I never did, but in my junior high everybody took a spelling test and I did get the best score in the school — by a female. I’ve always been really good at spelling and grammar, and I don’t know if that was because English was my second language, but maybe it’s because I learned it when I was 7 and learned it in kind of a book way. SD: Are there idols of the puzzle world? MV: I think it’s all about Will Shortz, really. And he actually lived in the town that I went to college in, and sometimes he’d be on the train. But I never talked to him. SD: Do you see people in dentists’ offices or on trains doing your puzzles? MV: I do. All the time. It’s kind of fun. And it’s fun because they’re always at the grocery stores and Barnes & Noble. That’s kind of neat. MV: Do you ever hear heartwarming stories from solvers? SD: Tons. We hear tons of heartwarming stories, and some of them are really sad. We got this one letter from a woman and she’d lost her son to cancer. And she said how she’d sit with him in the hospital and they’d do the crosswords. SD: Do you dream in across and down? MV: [Laughs.] No, I don’t. I do dream about editing sometimes. But I think that’s normal. I used to work at Friendly’s, and I was constantly dreaming about scooping ice cream. m

Aerial Photographer
5:00 PM November 8, 2006 Twilight Auditorium Middlebury College
Free and open to the public
For over 25 years, pilot and photographer Alex MacLean has flown his Cessna 182 over much of the continental United States Documenting the landscape. He has portrayed the history and evolution of the land, from vast desert regions to agricultural patterns to city grids. His work records the country's development in addition to the gradual evolution and changes brought about by human intervention. Trained as an architect and interested in landscape heritage protection issues, MacLean has set out to show and explain the universal history of town and countryside using photography as a medium. With a sensitive and critical eye, his powerful and descriptive images provide clues to understanding the relationship between the natural and constructed environments. This lecture is co-sponsored by Middlebury College, Bread Loaf Architects, Planners, Builders, and the Architecture &... Lecture Series.

Behind the Crime Scene
11/6/06 12:34:47 PM
iolence is seemingly endemic to American society these days. Though statistics clearly show that each individual in America today has an incredibly slim chance of becoming a victim of violent crime in a given year, those same statistics show that your chance of being so victimized now is greater than at any point in the last century. For those not well versed in statistics, it is a paradox. For me, and others like me, it is simple reality. We live professionally in the part of our society that deals daily with this interpersonal violence, an ugly, brutal reality of the human condition that is not often spoken of in polite circles. It is the 600-pound gorilla in the middle of society’s spacious living room. Most people know it exists, but they usually prefer to ignore it and pretend it is for others to
acknowledge and deal with. It thus becomes an abstract threat. Sort of like the inevitable cooling of the sun or Ebola. This is particularly true in bucolic Vermont. Though violent crime does occur here, we traditionally enjoy one of the lowest crime rates of any state in the union. The reasons are many and varied, but the fact remains. What violent crime we do have tends to occur outside of most folks’ normal routine, as the societal profiles of criminals often mirror that of victims. In other words, criminals often prey upon those in their own socio-economic strata, preferring to stay close to home in terms of both geography and class. This has the effect of, usually, keeping violent crime away from the middle and upper classes, especially here in Vermont. Violent crime is largely a problem of the under-class.

I am not judging or preaching. Just pointing out the way things are. This past month has seen one of the rare exceptions to this general rule, with the kidnapping and senseless, brutal murder of a University of Vermont senior. At 21, she was young, pretty, loved and protected, yet by all accounts had lived a rich and varied life thus far. She was outgoing and friendly, experienced in living in dangerous communities, but not jaded by the experience. A woman from a good family, she did not fit the stereotype of the typical victim, much less that of a criminal. She was, in a very real sense, the classic girl next door. 3x4-MainStLanding110806.indd 1
She had spent the day and early evening with her parents, who were in town for UVM’s Parents’ Weekend. Her father took some snapshots of her to memorialize their visit that afternoon. It was a timeless scene, a happy one for everyone involved. They casually planned to meet the next day for lunch. They never fulfilled that plan. Walking downtown that Friday night, having left one group of friends to join another in celebrating one of them having turned 21, she walked a few short blocks in the middle of downtown Burlington. She went alone. It is an action undertaken by dozens of her peers every weekend here in town and probably one that she had done herself more than once. In trying to connect with the friend that she was trying to meet, her cellular telephone battery ran out of power. Without much thought, she asked a man on the street if she could use his telephone. Her casual trust and this small act started a chain of events that would end tragically for them both. The man she had asked was, unlike the vast majority of people in our community, not a good person. Indeed, he was the single-worst person she could have asked for help that night. Though I am not a religious person, I would call him evil. Through nothing more than blind bad luck, she had found a violent sexual predator, a man who preys on the vulnerable in the dark places like some kind of two-legged hyena. She was alone and demonstrated her vulnerability by asking him for help. He helped her, offering his telephone and talking to her. Smooth. Friendly. Deceptive. He was heading back to his car and, as fate would have it, she was going the same way towards her dorm, having failed to find her friends. How seemingly fortuitous that she had found a nice guy to escort her part of the way home. Only he was not such a nice guy. And she never made it home as a result. Somewhere that night, she died, having endured what no person should ever have

the deaths of others who did not deserve it nearly as much as he does, at least not to my way of thinking. To me, he has forfeited his right to life. But I am not the final arbiter of such things. I am a cop. My respect for the law stays my hand, twitch though it may. I believe that it speaks well of us, as a profession and as a community, that we go to great lengths to extend the protection of the law to someone who has so terribly violated it. I may not like it sometimes, but it runs counter to who I am not to live with this system. Because I am better than him.

contemplated. Crime scene techs pored over scenes suspected of being involved with the crime. Every detail of every bit of information was examined and reexamined, then discussed with others, in a constant effort to find the piece we were missing, the one bit of info that would break the case wide open. Hope for her survival was slowly replaced by cold resolve to find her, no matter how long we had to look, to bring her home to her family and to bring her abductor to justice. Determination hardened in everyone. Many of us interviewed and followed the man we eventually arrested — the man who lent her a cellphone. The man who turned a young woman’s trust into a deadly weapon. He did not just snuff out her life that night, but, in a very real way, he snuffed out his own. Only he gets to keep on breathing. And, like ripples in a still pond, his act radiates out beyond just the two of them, grievously impacting those around them in gradually

It is not her failing at having trusted, but his at having taken advantage of that trust in so heinous a fashion. I wear many hats in this state. Amongst other things, I am a law enforcement officer, a citizen of this community, the parent of a daughter, a spouse, a UVM alum. I had many reasons to be interested in this case, all of which and more have run through my mind over the week. I wanted with every fiber of my being to find this girl alive and to catch her abductor, though, as time passed, I knew that the chance of the former was dropping. Happily, the latter was rapidly looming larger. I spent a week working alongside almost every law enforcement officer I know in Chittenden County, and many I was meeting for the first time, looking for her and trying to capture her killer. We all

worked tirelessly, chasing every lead, no matter how nebulous. Never did I see a single one of my peers complain or snap at one another. Never did anyone despair, even though we all knew that her odds of being found alive went lower and lower with each passing minute. Instead, each worked harder still, hoping to find her alive, knowing that we would avenge her if she were not. Each of us asking ourselves deep down inside, “Why could he not have tried this with me instead? Why could I not have been nearby when this happened?� I would arrive earlier than I was required each day. I worked late into each night, going home near 1 or 2, physically and emotionally drained. One night I left only when my boss ordered me to then I snuck back a few hours later. I was quickly caught and sent home again, this time with few illusions about my fate should I come back within a few hours. Every one of us had a similar story. Surveillance teams worked around the clock. Managers strategized until the wee hours. Uniformed officers canvassed neighborhoods and took tips from anyone who had something to say. Investigators interviewed, searched, typed and

All because he made the choice to strike out and to kill. And while she is dead and he is in jail awaiting trial, others are safer now for it. He has been sexually assaulting women in vulnerable positions for decades, unreported and undetected. There was no sign that he was going to stop. My professional experience and training tell me that, if anything, he was going to become more and more violent in his sexual rampages. Indeed, this case bears that out. Her death brought to light who he is and, in all likelihood, saved many others from enduring his ministrations in later years. His actions deprived our society of her life, of all the things she would have gone on to do for herself and, by extension, the rest of us. Yet as a group, we will be safer now because of them. This is what I dwell on in order to keep my own perspective, to keep my own frustration and rage under control.

Death Trap A Vermont reporter-turned-advocate spreads the gospel of dying well “AT NIGHT” BY DEIDRE SCHERER

any people’s last memories of their loved ones are also the most lasting. Events that occur in the final days leading up to the death of a friend or family member can be a graceful coda on a welllived life — or an aching wound that never fully heals. When Stephen Kiernan reflects on his parents’ last days, he sees opposite ends of a spectrum ranging from “tragedy in slow motion” to “a beautiful death.” Kiernan, 46, is a Charlotte author and former reporter and columnist for The Burlington Free Press. His first lesson in mortality began with the illness that claimed his father’s life. Felled by an aneurism in August 1988, Peter Kiernan spent 28 days in an intensive-care unit undergoing increasingly invasive, costly and ultimately futile medical care. Attached to a breathing tube, his eyes bloodshot and swollen, lips cracked and bleeding and body bloated with fluids, Peter Kiernan was stripped of the dignity that had defined his character. Ultimately, the quarter-million dollars’ worth of medical interventions inflicted on him were all for naught, as they couldn’t save his life or provide him or his family with a shred of lasting comfort. Four years later, when Kiernan’s mother was diagnosed with small-cell breast cancer, the family would not repeat the same mistakes. Rather than subject herself to the excruciating pain of a hugely disfiguring surgery, Mary Agnes Kiernan chose to die the way she had lived — with the stubborn determination of a woman who did things her way, or not at all. She completed all her chosen tasks before she succumbed, from finishing her Christmas shopping four months early to planning her son’s wedding. In the end, she died in her own bed, with her pain properly managed and her family by her side. Looking back, Kiernan recalls that nothing was left unsaid or undone and, in his >> 30A
Williamsville artist Deidre Scherer creates portraits of individuals approaching death, and tableaux of families gathered around a deathbed. It sounds morbid, but her works are in fact extraordinary and deeply moving. That’s why Scherer is featured in Camilla Rockwell’s documentary-inprogress about easing the end of life through music and art (see accompanying story). Though Scherer begins with a drawing or photograph, the finished pieces are in fabric and thread. “I paint literally with my sewing machine and draw with my scissors,” she explains. “I layer and work until I have a narrative. It pulls the eye in and speaks to the sense of touch,” she adds, “the sense you get when you’re looking at fabric: Your hand wants to go right out and touch it.” Though the images resemble, from a distance, drawings or paintings, it seems somehow appropriate that they are made with a homier medium, such as quilting or embroidery. “I am not a quilter, but every once in a while I get invited to quilt shows
and I think, whatever,” she says. Scherer, 61, does attend the major craft fairs, but her work has also been shown at more than 100 fine-art galleries and museums over the past couple of decades. Case in point: Her series entitled “Surrounded by Family and Friends” opens next Wednesday, November 15, at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Museum in New York. The show, comprising six life-sized tableaux, has been touring “for several years,” Scherer says — as far afield as Japan. Her images have also been reproduced in numerous books and magazines. She teaches her methods in her own book, Deidre Scherer: Work in Fabric and Thread. Most viewers tend to have similar reactions to Scherer’s work, she notes. “I was amazed at one man’s response — a man — at a gallery opening. Immediately he thought of his own mother, then he thought of himself, and then he thought of his daughter.” She describes another “jolt of comprehension” from a man who
saw one of her images on the cover of a nursing journal. In five seconds he went from “yuck” to “this is beautiful,” Scherer recalls. If looking at an old, wrinkled, sunken face is initially off-putting, viewers seem to quickly relate, in one way or another. And because the images are not photographs, she suggests, “People can bring their own stories to them.” Our culture has “a lot of weird notions around death, primarily violent . . . the idea of natural death is still taboo. It’s unbelievable,” Scherer muses. “We’re uneducated, unprepared, unthoughtful about it. I think there’s this enormous perception that we’ll get cut down violently, or by some horrible disease.” In fact, statistics indicate that more than 80 percent of us will live a full life, Scherer says. She hopes that viewing her artwork — and Rockwell’s film — will help “people walk away with a different type of ending.” And, she adds, “Maybe they’ll think about a different way of living.” PAMELA POLSTON

death trap << 28A
These changes, which have resulted in longer life expectancies, have been made possible through a number of remarkable medical advances and technological breakthrough — from betablockers for heart problems to safer automobiles to the nearubiquity of the 9-1-1 emergency-response system. At the same time, Kiernan argues, the medical system has failed to adapt to this changing landscape and recognize its responsibility not only to heal but to comfort. As Kiernan explains in a recent interview with Seven Days, this mindset begins with the education of doctors and nurses. A typical American medical student cannot graduate without at least 300 hours of obstetrics training, even though few of these students will ever deliver a baby in the course of their careers. In

words, “her bright character had remained undimmed.” About 2.5 million Americans die each year — about 6850 per day. But as Kiernan discovered while researching his first book, Last Rights: Rescuing the End of Life From the Medical System, only a small fraction of them depart this earth in a way that’s dignified, rewarding or even comfortable. Instead, Kiernan found that his father’s death experience was far more typical among Americans than that of his mother. Too often, people die in the cold and impersonal environs of hospitals and nursing homes, attached to respirators and feeding tubes, often without family or friends nearby. Unlike what most Americans say they want or envision for themselves, the dying are often subjected to expensive,
The material in Last Rights floats effortlessly between harsh critiques of health-care policies to fascinating accounts of death’s many mysteries. dehumanizing and extraneous medical procedures that may boost their vital signs over the short term but do little or nothing to relieve their suffering. The consequences for patients and their families can be devastating, both personally and financially. Not surprisingly, the leading cause of personal bankruptcies today are medical expenses, even among the insured. What’s worse, about half the people who die in hospitals do so in moderate to severe pain that could have been alleviated, if only their doctors and other caregivers had been adequately trained in palliative care and proper pain management — and cared enough to offer them. Kiernan argues that when the terminally ill are caught in the grips of blinding pain, their one last opportunity to find reconciliation, spiritual meaning and closure with their loved ones can be lost forever. “Here is the fundamental problem in the quality of end-oflife care in America,” Kiernan writes in Last Rights. “The people we rely on to provide this help do not know how to do it . . . At virtually every level — clinical, practical, spiritual — they are unprepared.” Kiernan compares the way most Americans die today to the situation 30 years ago. In the 1970s, people typically lost their lives suddenly and traumatically by car accidents, heart attacks and strokes. Today, more Americans meet their maker as a result of the slow, gradual decay of Alzheimer’s, cancer, AIDS or chronic respiratory disease.
contrast, the average med student receives only 24 hours of training in end-of-life care. Kiernan found only six medical schools in the nation that require a course in pain management. Medical educators, he says, “spend more time teaching students how to deliver a baby than how to deliver an adult into eternity” — a tragic state of affairs, considering that only one of these conditions will affect 100 percent of their patients. Compounding the problem, Kiernan notes, are various public policies that discourage doctors from recommending hospice care for their terminally ill patients. Decades of evidence show that hospices are vastly superior to hospitals and nursing homes for managing pain, meeting families’ emotional and physical needs, controlling costs and providing desirable settings for death. Nevertheless, Medicare eligibility rules essentially require patients to give up on seeking a cure before they choose hospice — and they require doctors to give patients a prognosis of less than six months to live, lest they run the risk of being sued for Medicare fraud. In all, Last Rights paints a distressing picture of the state of dying in America — from physicians’ woeful inability to communicate honestly and compassionately with their patients and family members about end-of-life choices; to the often criminally negligent state of the nursinghome industry; to the legal and public-policy deficiencies that leave critical decision-making in the hands of those who are least
competent to make them. Last Rights is written in a style that combines an investigative reporter’s dogged attention to detail with the compelling storytelling of a novelist and magazine writer. For this book, Kiernan conducted more than 500 interviews with doctors, nurses, educators, hospice workers and family members. These conversations are interspersed with heartwrenching, touching and even humorous stories about people’s final days. The material floats effortlessly between harsh critiques of health-care policies to fascinating accounts of death’s many mysteries, without ever becoming either wonky and dense or flaky and maudlin. Despite its grave subject matter, Last Rights is not a depressing read — far from it. Both in his prose and in person, Kiernan speaks passionately and optimistically about the “opportunities” now before us to rediscover the “art of dying,” which can make our passing a rewarding, meaningful and yes, even beautiful event.

Kiernan insists he didn’t set out to become an advocate for dying well when he wrote this book, though clearly he’s fallen into that role; he now travels around the region giving public talks on end-of-life issues. And, while Last Rights was written from a national perspective, Kiernan has also turned his gaze on Vermont’s current state of dying — and he doesn’t like
everything he sees. “Vermont is a pretty good place to die,” he comments. “But it’s not Missoula [Montana], it’s not Tampa [Florida], and it’s not Madison [Wisconsin]. Those are all much better places to die.” What do these seemingly unrelated cities have in common? Kiernan calls them “islands of excellence” for endof-life care, where demographics

(Tampa), funding (Madison) or charismatic leaders (Missoula) have effected significant changes in how people die. “Right now as a society, friend of we’re willing to accept islands 5IBOL ZPV GPS SU QP VQ of excellence in end-of-life ZPVS T care,â€?

Things in Vermont have improved somewhat since Kiernan began researching The Center for Women’s Health and Wellness Last Rights. For instance, in Gamal Eltabbakh, MD Linda Davidson, NP Georgia Eltabbakh, PA mid-2005 Vermont strengthened its laws on advance directives, which enable citiWe Are Now Offering the zens to decide beforehand the level of medical intervention they wish to receive at the end of their lives.

Third, he believes that if the University of Vermont’s College of Medicine were to “quintupleâ€? its pain-education curriculum, it still wouldn’t be too much.

Imagine how Vermont medical facilities would become magnets for patients if they promoted themselves as leaders in this field, Kiernan says, especially as growing numbers of baby boomers confront the inevitable reality. Ultimately, this isn’t about doing death “on the cheap,â€? Kiernan emphasizes, though from all evidence, good endof-life care is both cost-effective and more rewarding for families. It’s about making death dignified and meaningful again. To do so, he says, we as a nation must find the “metaphysical maturityâ€? to recognize that how we die is as important as how we live. Because, unlike other choices we make in life, we only get one shot at doing it right. ďż˝

t a recent Thursday night rehearsal in a meeting room at Christ Church Presbyterian, the Noyana Singers look like any other singing group. The 21 men and women of all ages sit in a circle. They carry black binders full of songs. They do warm-up exercises. But when organizer Camilla Rockwell starts making announcements about upcoming performances, it’s clear that this is a different kind of chorus. Everyone here already knows about some of the events — the Hospice Memorial Service at St. Paul’s on November 12, for example. But Rockwell has a few new gigs to announce, and she’s hoping at least some of the members can make it. “I’m looking for singers who might be able to come for a relatively short sing tomorrow night,� she tells them. This, she says, is “an urgent request.� It’s from a hospice nurse, who hopes a couple members of the group will be able to help calm her anxious patient. The woman is dying.

THE NOYANA SINGERS AT VERMONT RESPITE HOUSE
This is nothing out of the ordinary for the Noyana Singers; the group specializes in bringing songs of comfort to the sick and dying. Their name comes from a South African word meaning “we are going there.� In this case, “there� is the end of life, and it’s a place we’re all headed eventually. Their singing helps patients, caregivers and the singers themselves cope with the pain associated with the end of the journey. “Singing people over� is an ancient concept that has fallen out of favor in our youth-obsessed culture, but it’s increasingly popular in Vermont. The area’s first hospice chorus, Hallowell, formed in Brattleboro in 2003, and the group has spawned others in Middlebury, Montpelier, St. Johnsbury, and this one in Burlington, which formed in January. Rockwell, 55, is a Burlington filmmaker who’s currently making a documentary about hospice singing. She says that something about
Rockwell, who has participated in a number of deathbed sings, is even more enthusiastic. “People love it,� she declares. The svelte, expressive woman recalls a recent visit to a nursing home. “Some of the people lit up,� she says. “One woman had no expression at all, but her foot was tapping along with the music.� Not that the singers are necessarily looking for a response. Rockwell stresses that the group is not giving concerts. “We’re not performing for people,� she asserts. “We don’t expect people to open their eyes, or applaud or anything. They can just rest and take it in.� The group has never sung for anyone at the precise moment of death, what Rockwell calls “crossing over,� but often recipients have only a few days, or even hours, to live.

“People just start crying,” Leo says. “The singing, the sound, creates this moment for the grief to just rest. Somehow the songs allow that, because the music moves people so deeply. It’s a lovely thing. It has never felt wrong.” Leo doesn’t like to take credit for starting the hospice chorus movement in Vermont. She calls

gently explains, “you want to be careful about singing things that are going to bring them back to earth.” At some point, she says, “You have to ask, do you want to be calling up memories for someone, or do you want to be helping them let go of the memories and let go of their bodies?” But even at that stage, she says, you can see the effect the music has on patients. It often causes a change of breathing, a softening of the muscles in the face. Rockwell has experienced these things herself; at the end of every rehearsal, one chorus member lies on a couch while the group gathers around and sings. She confirms that having this singing directed at you “has a powerful effect on your nervous system.” Not surprisingly, the music also has an effect on the others in the room. Hallowell founder Kathy Leo says the music is transformative, for reasons she finds difficult to describe. When Hallowell does a deathbed sing, caregivers and family members tend to become emotional. She says this can be liberating, especially for people who bottle up feelings and have difficulty expressing their grief.
herself Hallowell’s “midwife,” and explains that she stumbled upon the idea while tending to a patient as a hospice volunteer. The woman was a member of the Guilford Community Church; in her final days, the church choir came to sing for her. Leo was so moved, she worked with her local hospice organization to start their own non-denominational chorus. Today the group has 40 members, and recently released its first CD, appropriately entitled angels hovering round. Though Leo came to the group with hospice experience, many of the members joined without previous training. So she designed an orientation for them that includes “a crash course” in hospice philosophy, and a discussion about how to deal with their own emotions. People who join the other hospice choruses undergo similar training. Singing for the dying is intense. “It’s absolutely a grace in all of our lives to be invited into these sacred spaces,” Leo offers, adding that she often feels “close to ecstatic” when she leaves a bedside sing. “You feel so fully alive having been exposed to these deep emotions.” But that feeling arises from being in proximity to death,
and it can be scary. “You get very close to the edge, whatever that means to people,” Leo says. “It’s a place that’s full of mystery and wonder.” And it’s a place that she, Rockwell and other deathbedsinging advocates wish more people understood. That’s one of the things they most appreciate about the chorus — that the music provides an opportunity for everyone involved to talk about death and about their conflicting emotions as they encounter it. This is what inspired Rockwell to make her film, entitled Holding Our Own: Reclaiming the End of Life. The documentary will explore this transitional time by focusing on Hallowell, and on the art of Vermonter Deidre Scherer, who creates elegant fabric collages of, mostly, elderly faces and deathbed scenes (see sidebar). Rockwell, who worked for years with documentarian Ken Burns, hopes to finish the film next spring, with eventual distribution to medical schools and community groups. She wants to use art and music to “give people a language to be able to have discussions about death,” and to spread the concept of hospice choruses beyond Vermont. In the meantime, Rockwell, Leo and the other hospice singers will continue taking requests from people who won’t likely live to see that happen. �
The Noyana Singers will perform at the annual Hospice of the Champlain Valley nondenominational memorial service on November 12, 3 p.m., at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Burlington. The service celebrates all hospice patients who have died in past year. For more info, call 860-4411.

Victor’s cause is the water supply’s purity and safety, and his ends justify any means. “By my clock, which is the ecosystem clock, it is 11:59,” he inveighs. “There is no more time to write our congressman . . . The earth is dying.” He and his small band of followers kidnap an EPA official, explode a car bomb at EPA headquarters, killing 27, and then offer Jessica an exclusive interview at their lair. The encounter between Victor and Jessica becomes an extended psychological dance. They wrangle over semantics (‘terrorist’ versus ‘urban guerilla’), questions and format. Jessica asserts her journalistic bona fides. “I don’t do propaganda,” she states. “I’m in the truth business.” Victor massages her ego with flattery. “I always knew you were the one,” he says. “In front of your camera the phonies were phonier, the true were truer.” While Jessica interviews Victor’s disciple Cathy and the hostage David, the lead terrorist hovers and manipulates the questioning. Victor wants David to come clean on camera about what really happened at Crystal River, a polluted water site where, it turns out, many of their lives have intersected before. Each learns dangerous secrets about the others, and no one is a hero in the end. Victor’s instincts for selfpromotion and self-preservation trump his

ALL GOWNS FROM STOCK commitment to the cause. Jessica’s hard shell finally cracks, revealing a badly wounded psyche, but she falters when given a chance to redeem herself and her tarnished profession. It’s a bleak, disturbing tale. Two elements of the St. Mike’s production enhanced the intensity of the storytelling: the set and the use of live video. The entire action of the play takes place in a warehouse, where the terrorists live, store their arms cache, and hold their hostage. Scenic designer Robert Wolff rendered the stark world brilliantly. Neutral hues of black and sand colored the intentionally claustrophobic space. The same shades washed over floors, walls, weaponry and even Peter Harrigan’s costumes. Visual variety came from texture rather than color — the contrast between the glint of bare metal and dullness of rough wood. The design enclosed the set, actors and audience together on the McCarthy Arts Center’s stage. Chairs on risers allowed theatergoers to sit on either side of the narrow rectangle where the action unfolded. Suspended above, a catwalk connected the rooftops of two small utility rooms on either side of the stage. The hostage’s “room” sat atop one of these utility buildings. He remained visible throughout the
result is a talky play that feels somewhat dated and didactic, despite the timeliness of the topic. This presented a tough challenge for the young actors, three of whom are just sophomores. How do you render meaningful portrayals of mediocre characters? Hurst might have coached her quartet to tap into deeper layers of motivation. For example, as the hostage, Gary DuBreuil had the most to work with — fear for his life! — and did the least with it. The biochemistry of stress would have created physical havoc after 35 days of captivity. But DuBreuil’s hostage didn’t seem terribly terrorized, just mildly anxious. His Stockholm Syndrome seemed an extension of politeness, not a desperate survival mechanism. The actors playing Victor and Jessica tackled their tricky roles with greater success. Kevin Parise clearly relished playing the terrorist, but lacked sufficient sinister charisma to conjure a true master manipulator. Victor chooses his words carefully, but Parise’s dialogue sometimes felt flat or rushed. His strongest work was showing the terrorist’s visionary side, especially in the creepy scene where Victor vividly describes his dream demolition of the White House.
At the core of Cat’s Paw is the complicated relationship between those who create violence and those who cover it. play, blindfolded and handcuffed in a metal chair when he wasn’t participating in a scene. For the interview segments, director Hurst had the actors use a real camera and TV monitor that showed a live feed of what the lens saw. The effect was powerful. Victor is a media-conscious murderer. He and the ratings-driven TV reporter are clearly cut from the same “image-is-everything” cloth. How they are coming off on camera means everything to them. They spend pages of dialogue arguing about this, and it was far more potent to show how the camera depicted them than just to hear them talk about it. From a practical perspective, the monitor let audience members see the actors’ faces when their backs were turned — inevitable given the tight layout and seating plan. The ability to glance back and forth between the actors on stage and on screen drove home the camera’s perverse power. While the TV close-up intensified emotional expression, it also isolated feeling from context. The talking head took over: lost were body language and the words and actions of other people in the room. Although the play definitely stimulates thought, Mastrosimone’s script has fundamental weaknesses. Issues that required explanation in 1985 are now sadly old hat. Careful character development often takes a back seat to expounding ideas. The
Miryam Andrews-Ohlman depicted Jessica’s physical demeanor artfully: how her character layers the serious journalist persona over perky, telegenic polish. It seemed, however, as if the actress sometimes got distracted from her character’s emotional world by constantly having to fiddle with the camera. Impressively, she did wrest some real tears when events pierce through Jessica’s professional veneer. Junior Victoria Townsend gave the most fully realized performance. As Cathy, she burned with the true believer’s quiet intensity, manifested in her purposeful movement and unflinching gaze. Although Cathy spends most of the play silently observing the action, we should ultimately pay closest attention to her. Townsend showed clearly that Cathy never wavers from willingness to sacrifice everything for her cause. With the character of Cathy, Mastrosimone outlined a lesson 20 years ago that still hasn’t sunk in today. We don’t have to accept the suicide bombers’ way of thinking, but we damn well better understand it. This insight, and the other startling shadows of things to come in Cat’s Paw, make you wonder. Why was a playwright’s crystal ball this clear back in 1985, when the FBI and CIA had a much cloudier view of the future? Perhaps National Intelligence Estimates should be penned by scriptwriters rather than spooks. �

BY MARC AWODEY
On the Map he pair of one-person shows at Burlington’s 215 College Street Artists’ Cooperative Gallery by painters EXHIBIT Jessica Hatheway and Jessica Sandra Berbeco is entiHatheway & Sandra Berbeco: tled “Entropy and “Entropy and Confabulation.” The Confabulation,” exhibit is more conmixed-media cerned with beautiful paintings. 215 colors and lively texCollege Street Artists’ tures than with the Cooperative nouns used in its title, Gallery, however. While the Burlington. words can be summariThrough ly dismissed, the paintNovember 26. ings shouldn’t be. Both ARTWORK collections are highly “Fort Hope” by satisfying on several Jessica Hatheway nonverbal levels. Burlington artist PHOTO Jessica Hatheway uses Marc maps as a medium. By Awodey applying glazed colors and textural passages over two-dimensional diagrams of places, she reveals associative layers of visual information that transcend particular locales. Her artist’s statement makes an additional point: “I started painting on maps because I liked the contrast of the linearity of the map embedded in a less rigid, expressionistic interpretation of space.” Small works dominate the show. As evidenced in the 12-by-12-inch “Fort Hope,” textures seem to loom larger as dimensions grow smaller. A plastic needlepoint grid embedded in “Fort Hope” echoes miniature lines of longitude and latitude. Hatheway’s image is almost nuclear, as a great orange cloud hangs over a blue-green field. The underlying map of a place called Fort Hope is barely discernible through her welter of blended hues and surface shadows. Hatheway includes series among her 18 pieces. “World Views Triptych” is the largest, consisting of three vertical 18-by-42-inch panels. Each includes a circular lens magnifying a section of map; the lens seems to float like a planet in Hatheway’s panoramic night sky. The selected places — Iraq, Korea and the United States — are distant from one another, but share “a common human experience represented by the single landscape spanning the three panels,” Hatheway writes. The smallness of Earth within the vastness of the
T
cosmos is a recurring theme. “Temagami Polytych” is a vertically arranged group of four 4-by-11.5inch green, indigo and russet abstractions that resemble a satellite view of broad rivers and lakes in northern Ontario’s Temagami region. Its details flow together around a riparian-like diagonal that crosses the composition from upper right to lower left.
small gestures.” “Mist in the Pathway” is a 4-by-7inch panel inset into a neo-Baroque frame, focusing attention on the contrast between the frame’s forced elegance and the painting’s nonchalant spontaneity. Although her surfaces are much less layered than are Hathaway’s, Berbeco’s paintings reflect supreme confidence in the materials.
The exhibit is more concerned with beautiful colors and lively textures than with the nouns used in its title. Shelburne artist Sandra Berbeco notes in her statement: “My use of color in many of these paintings is a confabulation of what there is and what I experienced beyond the reality of the scene.” The obscure word “confabulation” is playful and correctly used, but more telling is Berbeco’s direct and poetic confession to painting “vast landscapes done with few
The “few small gestures” approach leads to pieces that at first seem underworked — and indeed, several could have been dashed off in a matter of minutes. But Berbeco’s sparse paint handling can also be seen as a way of shunning superfluous details. “Mist in the Pathway” is just a blur of local color, viridian and cerulean blue, in which line plays no part. A
painting of the same scale and framing style, entitled “Reflection,” is even more minimal. Its subject is a haze of black charcoal. The haze diffusely hovers over both halves of a horizon, bisecting a field of white acrylic. Thread-thin ridges, smears and scratchy lines seem incongruous in the frame, but the frame is integral to contextualizing the work as a landscape. Other Berbeco paintings are more purely decorative. The 12-by-12-inch “Stand of Trees” is an unframed, 1.5inch-deep expressionistic row of bold yet soft-edged forms. A forest of simplified trees, illuminated from the lower right corner of the picture plane, stands in front of a bright crimson horizon under a naturalistic, cloudy blue sky. It has an illustrative character very different from that of Berbeco’s abstractions. The great mid-20th-century painter and teacher Hans Hofmann succinctly wrote, “Painters must speak through paint, not through words.” Case in point: “Entropy and Confabulation” is a great painting show despite its silly title. m

Saving the World Together Remember the Traveling Wilburys? Even if you weren’t a big fan of Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Bob Dylan and Jeff Lynne on their own, put them into the same band and you find that you just have to stop, look and listen. Because everybody loves a supergroup. No wonder we love the Justice League. Now we have a new JL game to let us live out our heroic fantasies. Sure, there have been other superhero outfits. The X-Men formed a fraternity of mutants in exile, and the Fantastic Four were like a little superhero family. Only Marvel’s Avengers have come close to touching the prestige of comicdom’s No. 1 superhero group. And that’s because the Justice League has it all. Consider the core League complement: — Superman: Goody-goody übermensch. — Batman: Glowering dark detective. — Wonder Woman: Twisted feminism in a bustier. — Flash: Classic adolescent ADD. — Green Lantern: Regular dude with cosmic powers. — Martian Manhunter: Cosmic dude with an Earthly mission. — Zatanna: Unless you are a comic nerd, you’ve never heard of this original team member. She represents woman as a magical mystery. See how well the league metaphor works? “Justice League Heroes” has all these men and women in tights, and many others. Looking down into the dollhouse scenes, players pound their way through level after level of bad guys in an effort to thwart the evil Brainiac. Under the hood, “Heroes”does not stray far from the developers’ previous “Dungeons and Dragons”inspired games. Solo or in
teams, gamers wander through cities and intergalactic bases, picking up items and unleashing customizable attacks. Superman hovers over scenes, for example,
Green Arrow, when the ultimate evil arrives, only a super grouping of abilities — from Superman’s strength to Batman’s ingenuity — can set the world right. “Justice League Heroes” reminds us that working together in groups is a super idea.

while Zatanna zaps enemies into easily dispatchable bunnies and Flash zips around in a tornado of activity. The play doesn’t amount to much more than a lot of button mashing and some genuinely funny dialogue. Then again, that’s not a bad summary of the original comic’s battles-and-banter format, either. Unfortunately, with so many superpals at the player’s disposal, the specter of game balance looms. On one hand, Superman ought to be able to crush as many rouge robot enemies as the game can throw out. But from the very beginning, Batman warns Supes that this particular menace might tax even his powers. Rather than reveal the inherent imbalance in the comic-book universe, “Justice League Heroes” confirms an egalitarian ideal. Whether you’re Green Lantern or
Who’s It For: Pick-up-and-play simplicity and attractive, toy-like graphics will draw in anyone looking for a little mindless destruction in the name of saving the universe. If you know enough about comics to understand, say, Batman and Superman’s ongoing rivalry, this game dishes plenty of comic-booknerd surprises. If You Like This, Try That: “Marvel: Ultimate Alliance” offers similar game play and style set in a Marvel world. Now you can swap your Superman cape for a Spidey outfit. Best Part: Comic-book dialogue is always equal parts pompous and goofy. The professional actors who voice the lines in this game hit the right notes.

theborowitzreport ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE SLAYS NINE
T
he state of Florida was on high alert today as an electronic voting machine that was being tested in advance of next Tuesday’s midterm election went berserk and killed nine in a terrifying rampage. The rogue machine, which Florida officials said was state of the art in touchscreen technology, was undergoing a routine test in Tallahassee when election workers observed that it was “behaving strangely.” After a worker conducting the test touched the machine’s screen to register a vote for Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, the machine registered 20,000 votes for his Republican challenger, Katherine Harris, and then started spewing smoke and sparks. As election workers ran for cover, the voting machine became unmoored from the floor and began trampling everyone and everything in its path. “It was freaky,” said election worker Carol Foyler. “It was almost like the machine was mad that someone tried to vote for a Democrat.” The touchscreen terror then cut a swath of death and destruction across the state, despite attempts by the
Florida state police to apprehend it. Gov. Jeb Bush appeared on television later in the day to urge calm, telling citizens, “Clearly, Florida’s electronic voting machines are still very much a work in progress.”
“It was almost like the machine was mad that someone tried to vote for a Democrat.”
Carol foyler
At the White House, spokesman Tony Snow did not directly address the issue of the voting machine’s deadly rampage, choosing instead to make general remarks about the electoral process. “This administration remains steadfast in its support of free and fair elections,” he said, adding, “in Iraq.” Elsewhere, in recognition of his invaluable contribution to the fall election campaign, President Bush awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass). m

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When George W.
Bush replaced Bill Clinton as U.S. president, Bush’s advisor Karl Rove decided to take extraordinary measures in cleansing the White House of the previous occupants’ energy. Rove was especially obsessed with banishing the “evil spirits” in Hillary Clinton’s office, which is why he summoned three Catholic priests to perform an exorcism. I urge you to do something equally vivid in order to purge the lingering vibes of people and things that you know are no good for you, Aries. Remember, though, that this has nothing to do with perpetrating revenge or harm. It’s all about cleansing and reprogramming those parts of you that are still emotionally entangled with the bad influences.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): Early in his film career, actor Oliver Hardy often played the parts of bad guys. But when he joined with Stan Laurel to collaborate on their series of comedic movies, he became a likable buffoon. I predict you’ll soon be the beneficiary of a comparable conversion, Taurus. Some troubling or adversarial influence in your life will become warmer and fuzzier, maybe even downright helpful and amusing. The psychological term for a conversion this dramatic is enantiodromia. It refers to the process whereby something changes into its opposite. It won’t be as freakish as it might initially appear. The unexpected transformation will be the result of an organic process.
entertained and build a strong center of gravity as you juggle a variety of activities and ideas and friends. This week is a perfect time to meditate on how lucky you are to have been given this gift, and to recommit yourself to using it to the fullest.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you’re ever in
your life going to be hired to model underwear or get invited by a magazine to expound on your lovemaking secrets, it will happen soon. If you ever thought it might be fun to see what might happen if you tried to hypnotize someone with your animal magnetism or seduce someone with your telepathic magic, give it a go now. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to gather rosary beads, the Torah, a Buddhist prayer wheel, a five-pointed silver star, and a statue of the Hindu goddess Shakti, and then unleash a sexy prayer for your supreme dream in the direction of every deity that might listen, this would be a good time.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The time is right to send
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My colleague
Ro Loughran (www.yoursouljourney.com) has an interesting theory about astrology. She starts with the hypothesis that some version of reincarnation is true. Then she proposes that in each lifetime, a soul chooses a particular astrological sign because the qualities of that sign are what the soul wants to learn about. In other words, being born a Gemini doesn’t mean you’re automatically a wizard at being a Gemini. On the contrary, in this lifetime you’ve become a Gemini in order to master the art of being one. You’re here to get the hang of what it’s like to be smart and versatile and precise and witty. Your assignment is to keep yourself endlessly
out a big “Hey!” and “Thank you!” to all the little voices in your head. Start with the still, small voice that’s always ready to provide concise responses to the ingenious questions you come up with. But please also acknowledge every one of the other little voices as well — even the crabby, reactive naysayer that’s forever on the lookout for insults to your dignity, however tiny or unintentional; even the worrywart that wakes you up in the middle of the night to pester you with doubts and fears. Love all the little voices in your head, Leo. Celebrate their vitality, their persistence, their attentiveness. You’re lucky to have such a zealous group of advisors, even if all but one of them are off the mark a lot of the time.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sometimes, Virgo, you’re too damn smart for your own good. You may describe a problem so brilliantly, for instance, that you think you’ve solved it merely by talking about it, and never get around to actually fixing it. On other occasions your fine mind runs amuck in an orgy of razor-sharp analysis, cutting things
apart in order to understand them but not putting them back together again. I beg you not to indulge in these excesses during the coming week. Your intelligence will be soaring beyond even its usual exceptional levels, and it would be a shame for you not to capitalize on it momentously.
LIbRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Rob: Most of the Librans I know, including me, are adept at creating opportunities and generating energy out of humbling experiences, which they seem to have plenty of. But is it too much to ask that we might someday come into contact with bright new possibilities that emerge from empowering experiences? Just wondering. — Overly Patient Libra.” Dear Overly Patient: Funny you should bring this up. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re due to receive an unexpected gift that will prime your ambitions. To encourage its arrival, I suggest you ask clearly and playfully for a boisterous inspiration that will fuel your lusty courage.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Talent hits
a target no one else can hit,” said German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. “Genius hits a target no one else can see.” That could and should apply to you, Scorpio, at least during the month of November. I believe that you have a heightened ability to access special talents that have been partially dormant up till now. If you summon the gall to be almost crazily confident, you’ll soon be scoring bull’s-eyes on targets that no one else can see, let alone hit.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your soul’s epic journey is in the midst of a plot twist that’s so complicated and beautiful, it would be impossible to exhaust our discussion about its meaning. But I have to start somewhere, so here goes. Among the many opportunities you now have, these are among the most spectacular: (1) the possibility of making your existing problems more interesting than they’ve ever been; (2) the possibility of attracting fresh challenges that are
more stimulating and useful than your same old predictable dilemmas.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Climbing Mt. Everest bored the renowned mountaineer Alex Lowe, even when he did it solo without any supplemental oxygen. “Everest held none of the riddles he delighted in solving on remote walls and unnamed ice smears,” wrote “Outside” magazine. “He preferred places that offered ‘serious consequences’ and little in the way of record-book glory.” One of Lowe’s colleagues added, “It was astonishing what Alex was able to do. And do alone, without bragging.” Lowe himself once said, “The best climber is the one who has the most fun.” I recommend his attitude for you right now, Capricorn. Go after the accomplishments that make your heart sing rather than those that make your ego swell.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In 1945,
violinist Yehudi Menuhin and pianist Benjamin Britten played their music for the recently freed inmates of the Belsen concentration camp in Germany. I urge you to make them your role models in the coming week. Give a generous sampling of your finest talents to those less fortunate than you, or to someone who has just escaped a harrowing ordeal. Aside from the blessing that will bestow on the recipient, it will also set in motion beneficial developments in your own life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Everyone has
about 1500 dreams a year. Of those, maybe 1420 are confusing, indecipherable and can’t be mined for valuable revelations about the inner workings of your psyche by even the most skilled dream interpreter. That leaves 80 intensely useful letters to your conscious self from your deep unconscious. Any one of them could break you out of selfdefeating patterns and transform your life forever. This week there’s an especially high likelihood that your nightly adventures will be beautiful teachings that are coherent enough to recall. What do you plan to do about it?

Borat HHH
O WHEEL OF FORTUNE Baron Cohen steered his road comedy straight into the record books this past weekend.
ne night this summer Sacha Baron Cohen screened a rough cut of his latest comedy for a select group of Hollywood hipsters — a handful of L.A.’s most successful comedians, writers and directors. When the lights came up, so the story goes, one of his guests turned to another and remarked, “I feel like someone just played me Sgt. Pepper’s for the first time.” Reading about that may have raised my expectations unrealistically. Not that Borat isn’t delightfully demented at times and envelope-pushingly outrageous at others. It’s just that the film isn’t the revolutionary creation many audience members may anticipate, given the buzz that’s been building in the press since its enthusiastic reception at Cannes. Not to mention its record-breaking opening weekend. Baron Cohen stars as Kazakhstani television personality Borat Sagdiyev, one of the characters the Cambridge-educated British comedian introduced on HBO’s “Da Ali G Show.” The movie’s premise: The ministry of information has him sent to the United States to make a documentary about “the greatest country in a world” in the hope that what he discovers will help make his home country a better place to live. Hence the subtitle: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Borat himself is an endearing blend of innocence and ignorance, a third-world hayseed completely clueless about the offensiveness of his backward attitudes. He arrives in New York and relieves himself on a small patch of public greenery. Interviewing a group of feminists, he asks whether educating women is difficult given that their brains are the size of a squirrel’s. When he realizes the bed-and-breakfast he’s checked into is run by a kindly old Jewish couple, his heart is filled with terror. He furtively spits the sandwich they serve him into a napkin, and later goes running out into the night. (The actor is himself Jewish.) For many, the joke here will appear to be simply the offensiveness of the character’s attitudes and the limitless backwardness he displays. Certainly Baron Cohen employs these to considerable comic effect. He interviews former presidential hopeful Alan Keyes and introduces him as “a genuine chocolate face — no makeup.” After serving cheese from his homeland to a Washington dignitary, he announces it was made from the milk of his mother’s tit as the camera zooms in on the disconcerted fellow’s face. Borat laughs disbelievingly when informed that American women must give their consent before one can “make a sexytime” with them. But here’s the real joke: For every ludicrous, barbaric view
Borat brings with him from his country, he encounters a reallife U.S. citizen — or a whole group of them — embracing the very same stone-age belief. This is the picture’s real conceptual coup. Somehow the performer, his producer Azamat (Ken Davitian), and their camera crew (which presumably included the film’s director, Larry Charles) were able to catch a jaw-droppingly large number of Americans off-guard enough to say things to a total stranger on film you wouldn’t expect them normally to even utter aloud. The movie’s most notable strength is therefore also its most notable weakness. It’s shocking to gaze into this mirror of America. Asked what weapon he’d recommend for shooting Jews, the proprietor of a gun shop doesn’t hesitate to suggest a Glock. A bunch of drunk frat boys share opinions about women and sex that make Borat’s look enlightened. In the Midwest, the audience at a rodeo applauds as Borat announces his countrymen’s support for “America’s war of terror.” He cagily ratchets up the rhetoric, but the crowd continues to cheer as he exhorts George Bush to “drink the blood of Iraqi babies” and turn that country into “a smoking wasteland where not even a lizard could live in for a thousand years.” It’s a different matter when he mangles the national anthem. Then things get ugly. All of this makes for one great gotcha moment after another. There’s no denying that Borat provides a transfixing spectacle of tastelessness and hypocrisy. Combined with a subplot in which the character falls head over heels for Pamela Anderson after catching an episode of “Baywatch,” and commits to driving to California and marrying her, it offers a viewing experience unlike that of any movie in memory. On the other hand, it will remind you of a lot of things you’ve seen on TV. Baron Cohen’s latest is a warped and sometimes wickedly clever variation — but a variation nonetheless — on shows such as “Punk’d.” They are themselves, of course, variations on the original gotcha-thon, “Candid Camera,” a program whose creators prided themselves on catching people “in the act of being themselves.” Borat may catch them being more misogynistic, narrowminded and xenophobic than ever, but, in essence, it’s still the same act. Even with Baron Cohen’s ingeniously conceived persona, its Pamela Anderson subplot and some of the most eye-popping gags ever to involve a 400-pound naked man, I’m not sure the movie quite merits that Sgt. Pepper’s analogy. Something by Foreigner might be more like it. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Jay’s Excellent Adventure?
When two Turkmen filmmakers denounced Craven as an imperialist after the show, the normally even-tempered Vermonter was not so polite. Flow North and Stranger in the Kingdom. “The theater had ancient projectors, and the people running them said there were no aperture plates,” Craven explains. “So you could see the microphones at the top of each frame.” Once he located a dust-covered aperture plate, Craven wound up operating the projector himself. So it’s small wonder that, when two Turkmen filmmakers denounced him as an imperialist
after the show, the normally even-tempered Vermonter was not so polite. “I said, ‘I may be an imperialist, but at least I know how to run the fucking projector,’” he recalls. This week Craven is in Los Angeles for the American Film Institute Festival, which is showing his latest, Disappearances — like most of his previous cinematic efforts, adapted from a novel by Irasburg author Howard Frank Mosher. Next year, the AFI’s Project 20/20 plans to join forces with the State Department and other organizations to send Craven around the globe. He and 19 fellow auteurs will head for countries in Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. The 20/20 films will be subtitled in each destination’s local language. Craven wonders how Mosher’s “colloquial dialogue” might come across in, say, Farsi. “The tour is aimed at parts of the world that are the most troublesome for the Bush administration,” Craven says. “Artists are expected to serve as cultural envoys.” Asked if that turns a longtime progressive like him into a tool of the White House, he laughs before acknowledging, “I guess so.” And the winner is . . . Well, the Green Mountain Film Festival hasn’t earned an Oscar. But the annual Montpelier event was tapped for a $5000 grant from a foundation run by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The GMFF, which will take place next year from March 16 to 25, is one of 27 fests around the nation to receive this windfall. “It will not affect in any way our choice of films,” assures Managing Director Donald Rae. “There are no strings attached.” For more info about the late winter extravaganza, visit www.Focusonfilm.net. Meanwhile, check out the GMFF-boosting “Can’t Wait ’til March” weekly series at the Savoy Theater. A recent story in Variety announced that filmmaker Bryan Singer has signed on for a sequel to Superman Returns, his 2006 actionadventure about the comic-book hero. But the Hollywood trade paper didn’t mention where the 41-year-old directorproducer nailed the deal: A Single Pebble, in Burlington, Vermont. Singer’s visit included an October 18 screening of The Usual Suspects — the 1995 thriller that catapulted him to fame — for the Burlington College film noir class taught by his first cousin, Barbara McGrew. The night before, he was dining at the Asian restaurant with 10 Vermonters when his cellphone rang. After excusing himself from the table, Singer took the pivotal West Coast call outside. He returned about 20 minutes later, smiling, in time to enjoy what remained of McGrew’s rasp-
berry sorbet dessert. Jon Kilik, a 1978 University of Vermont grad, is among the three producers of Babel. The drama, which opens this weekend at the Palace 9 in South Burlington, comes from the writer-director-cinematographer team behind Amores Perros and 21 Grams: Guillermo Arriaga, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and Rodrigo Prieto, respectively. Like those earlier films, Babel has a narrative that is complex and not exactly chronological. It weaves through time and spans several continents, later linking everything together. When two young Moroccan boys foolishly shoot their father’s rifle at a bus full of tourists, they accidentally injure an American woman (Cate Blanchett). Her husband (Brad Pitt) frantically searches for help in this remote region of North Africa. Meanwhile, their own children back in California are whisked off to Mexico by the family’s otherwise sensible housekeeper (Adriana Barraza) and her reckless nephew (Gael Garcia Bernal). Another story unfolding in Japan concerns a deaf teenager (Rinko Kikuchi) who struggles with loneliness. Babel is only intermittently successful in conveying its message about miscommunication. But strong performances make the intense, 143-minute saga worthwhile. 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.
Any breakfast can delight except for grits heated in JELLYFISH. Rastafarian saints take unnecessary VACATIONS willingly. For good HOUSEKEEPING in January, kill lice mercilessly. Hosting impishly, Jimmy KIMMEL laughed many nights on purpose. Because calendars don’t ELIMINATE future gifts, hope incessantly. “Quite right,” said the UNREPENTANT vixen who X-rayed your zits. Let me not offer PEOPLE questions regarding spectacular tools. Go hide in jail, keep little MEMORIES, nix old priorities. Kirsten’s lovely Marie notably omitted popular QUESTIONS. Casanova dallied everywhere femmes GENERATED honey. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: UNRATED. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

he new satirical movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan seems to have a nonfiction counterpart in Jay Craven’s visit to neighboring Turkmenistan in 1999. The Peacham writer-director went on a U.S. State Department-sponsored trip to the capital city of Asgabat, where a statue of President-for-Life Saparmurat Niyazaov rotates throughout the day to keep up with the sun’s rays. Unfortunately, technology was less reliable in the venue that would be presenting Where the Rivers

< food> Cafeteria Style
Montpelier’s best-kept food secret serves it up three times a day

I
t’s quarter-of-eight in the morning. Could I really be too late for breakfast? The cafeteria is locked when I descend the conference-center stairs to the double doors. Through dingy windows I see people with plates and plastic cups sitting around rectangular tables with scarred and pitted wood. A few look up at me; nobody moves to let me in. I know that the kitchen is to my left, but I’m afraid to enter because the voice that emanates from inside sounds more like a drill sergeant’s than a maitre d’s. The voice issues a crucial directive, and a chorus responds, “Yes, chef!” But I’m hungry, so I venture inside. After all, I’m not going to let timidity cause me to miss out on the best meal deal in Montpelier. Three times a day, the New England Culinary Institute cafeteria on the Vermont College campus serves up top-notch food at rockbottom prices. Or so the locals say. . . You don’t have to be a student to reap the benefits, but is the hype to be believed? By eating all three meals here today, I intend to find out. I step tentatively into the kitchen and ask a young man in a floppy hat and chef ’s whites if they are still serving breakfast, even though I know they must be, given the hour. He doesn’t hear me. I repeat myself a couple of times, and finally I yell. He turns and pleasantly informs me that I can order my eggs any way I’d like them. I look around and detect a dearth of hollandaise sauce. No sautéed mushrooms or asparagus in sight. There are pairs of egg yolks staring up from ceramic ramekins nestled in a huge bowl of ice water, copious quantities of butter and some shredded cheese that appears to be cheddar. So, since I can’t really have eggs “any way I’d like them,”

I order mine scrambled with cheese, then check out the additional fare. Another chef-to-be stands behind the hot bar looking mildly bored, but he snaps into action when I ask him for a pancake, a few pieces of roasted potato, and some bacon. Placing my dish on a scratched tray next to some wimpy dining hall cutlery, I wait for the scram to arrive. An omelet appears. “Here are your eggs,” he declares. “But I ordered mine scrambled. This must belong to someone else,” I reply.
“I think this is yours. It’s kind of a ‘flatstyle’ scramble.” “Uh, OK.” I grab the plate, add it to my tray and turn to look at the beverages: the standard cafeteria selection of coffee, tea, cranberry or orange juice, soda or water. My cup smells like chlorine, less so when filled with a combo of cran and orange. One member of the kitchen brigade bustles in looking for an omelet with cheese. I hand it over and wait for my eggs, which
are appropriately scrambled-looking when they arrive. I shell out a bargain $4.50 for my food and walk towards an empty table at the back of the cafeteria, feeling much more like an awkward high school kid than a fully employed 28-year-old. The verdict on breakfast is that it’s passable but not great. The eggs taste rich and pleasant, and the bacon is neither too chewy nor too crunchy, but the pancake is a bit tough — probably the result of over>> 0 B

magine a banquet hall the length of Church Street featuring sustainably harvested delectables from around the world: crumbly mountain cheeses, gallon jars of sparkling honey, heirloom vegetables grown from seeds that hark back to Caesar. This is the spectacle that awaited a contingent of 34 Vermont farmers, chefs, educators and administrators at the 2006 Terra Madre “Slow Food� conference in Turin, Italy, at the end of October. They brought back plenty of food for thought. Two years in the making, Terra Madre and its accompanying food fair, “Salone del Gusto,� was the largest gathering to date of a global Slow Food movement. For five days of workshops, lectures, and taste-tests, over 6000 participants ate, shared stories, and brainstormed strategies for sustaining a culinary counterculture capable of subverting a world of bottom-line efficiency and manufactured taste. In 1986, Italian journalist and independent radio activist Carlo Petrini founded Slow Food in response to the opening of a McDonald’s in downtown Rome. His organization has since grown to include 83,000 “co-producers� from 122 countries representing people at every point in the food-production web. While Petrini emphasizes a decentralized, locally rooted approach to sustainable agriculture, he rallies slow foodists of all nationalities to produce eats that taste good, nurture earth and body, and promote social justice. Slow Food USA, the American incarnation of Slow Food International, includes a Montpelier-based Vermont chapter. But a unified Green Mountain Slow Food front is still, in large part, a dream dish. Add in the concern that Slow Food’s growing identification with bourgeoisie foodie-ism will undercut its radical roots, and the prospect of a democratic and convivial Vermont Slow Food culture taking root in Vermont seems like — well, slow going.

But the raw ingredients are in place. Many of the Vermonters who attended Terra Madre embody Petrini’s spirit, either as producers, organizers, or entrepreneurs, not to mention conscientious eaters. John Elder, an environmental writer and Middlebury College professor, attended the conference. In addition to serving on the board of Vermont Family Forests, a Bristol-based nonprofit that practices sustainable forest management, Elder also produces maple syrup in nearby Starksboro. He suggests that “Food is going to be central to the next century of the environmental movement in the way that wilderness was to the last.� His neighbor Douglas Mack, co-owner of Mary’s at Baldwin Creek in Bristol, has been cultivating connections between mindful agriculture and high-quality food since 1983. He was a founding member of the Vermont Fresh Network — a consortium of Vermont farmers, chefs and consumers that promotes sustainability and cooperation at every stage of the food production cycle. Almost all his ingredients come from within a 20-mile radius, including

year-round salad fixings culled from front-yard greenhouses. At Terra Madre, Mack joined 1000 other chefs in a discussion about how to champion Slow Food in a world of changing ecological realities: “We need to realize as chefs that we’re going forward into a new century of progress and modernization. But we have to stop that and look backwards at where we’re coming from before we can move forward,� he says. So what stands in the way of Slow Food’s expanding anti-empire? In her plenary address, the Indian farmer-activist Vandana Shiva sounded the alarm about dangers posed by corporate agricultural conglomerates such as Monsanto, whose genetically modified seeds threaten biological diversity and human health.

released the pamphlet at Terra Madre, where it sparked talk about seed-saving and the future of the anti-GMO movement. Rather than a “prohibitive, blame-game approach,� however, Elder says the emphasis in Turin was on “Where do we go from here?� He speculates that the next challenge facing Vermont’s Slow Food movement will be figuring out how to retain a “fierce loyalty� to the landscape without being “parochial.� “The Americans at Terra Madre were like, ‘We’re so frumpy,’� says Mara Welton. She and her husband Spencer own Half-Pint farm, an uncommonly productive one-acre plot in Burlington’s Intervale. With a quirky mix of warmth and political savvy, she suggests it’s high time that Vermonters worked
Our global food systems are terrifyingly unsustainable, so these issues will inevitably become prominent on a national and international level. When they do, Vermont can be a model for the world to follow.

Jay Leshinsky, advisor to Middlebury College’s organic garden, came back from Turin assured that GMO contamination is the defining threat to local food security, both in Vermont and abroad. “GMOs take away our ability to grow our own food,� he says. “For me, they bear on our very life existence.� Bearded and smiling, Leshinsky doesn’t seem an especially convincing doomsday theorist. But he carries around an orange copy of the “Manifesto on the Future of Seeds.� Shiva and other slow foodists
In food and music, timing is everything. Could that explain the coincidence of Greg Brown serving up a song titled “Slow Food� last Friday night at Higher Ground? The bluesy singersongwriter delivered this original in his signature soulful baritone. People want that slow food Two minutes and they grouch But give me ham baked all day long And help me to the couch Help me to the sofa Put the quiet music on I will lie and think about that ham Long after it is gone. I want some slo-o-o-o-ow food. I don’t want no food with cute names No neon on a sign A man can’t live on advertising slogans and conceptual design Let somebody else go surf and turf Someone else go carry out Me, I want my food to know itself Before it knows my mouth. I want some slo-o-o-o-ow food With all the love cooked in. Why don’t we start it in the mornin’ Leave us plenty of time for lovin’ Weekend homemade hot fresh bread Make the whole house smell like an oven And let it all just simmer Cook in the good juices and the greases Then we’ll sit down at the table, baby And slowly tear it into pieces. I want some slo-o-o-o-ow food What’s the big rush?.... Don’t want no hard-hearted Hardee’s, no Muck-muck-muck-muck-donald’s....I want a chef, not a clown, to make my food... It can even be tofu with the right kinda sauce.... Blahblahblah--I want some slo-o-o-o-ow food With all the love cooked in.
together to enact a region-specific “food nation� of their own. Vermont doesn’t have to be an elite market to produce food that meets the objectives of Slow Food. Welton speaks about the importance of “de-gentrifying� the movement — ridding it of its upper-middle-class mystique. A few Intervale farms have lowered their prices through communitysupported agriculture programs. Others open up their fields to volunteers from Burlington’s Healthy City Project who “glean� veggies for direct distribution at the Chittenden Emergency Food shelf and other local establishments. “It would be nice to change the food dialogue from ‘Should I eat raw food or not?’ to ‘Let’s just eat good food,’� Spencer adds. Jon Warnow, a Middlebury College senior and co-owner of Church Street’s “Skinny Pancake� crepe stand, believes Slow Food is already embedded in Vermont’s cultural soil: “We have small farmers producing quality products, a home-grown ethic encouraging sustainable practices, and consumers in the marketplace willing to pay for quality and sustainability,� he says. A perfect emblem of Terra Madre’s vocal vanguard of twentysomethings, the jocular 22-yearold crepe-slinging environmental studies major has collaborated with friends to cook up a viably “slow� business model right under Burlington’s nose: This summer, their collective venture became the first vending cart to join the Vermont Fresh Network. Warnow envisions intergenerational and crosscultural food connections as one of the keys to Vermont’s edible future. He hopes to see more links between “institutions and farms, old people and young people, elementary schools and gardens.� “I think this is one of those instances in which Vermont can be more than an isolated pocket of food consciousness in a little corner of America,� he maintains. “Our global food systems are terrifyingly unsustainable, so these issues will inevitably become prominent on a national and international level. When they do, Vermont can be a model for the world to follow.� But who’ll nurture the revolutionary compost until next growing season? Mara Welton has already arranged a Vermont Terra Madre reception. This Saturday at Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library, she’ll be sharing “pictures, stories and energy from this amazing meeting of world food communities� — all with an eye toward encouraging Vermonters to savor and revere their unique local food culture. “I think it’s really important to share my own personal commitment to farming with the public,� she says. “People are hungry for something new.� >

green beans with sautÊed onions that approximate the flavor of the Atlantic, my lunch is a perfectly enjoyable experience and is totally worth the money. A woman sitting at the next table exclaims over the chicken and biscuits — the latter are perfectly buttery and flaky — and is also thrilled that green beans are on the menu. She says she wishes they would serve hot green veggies all the time. At around 1:30, the tired students who arrived here at 5 a.m. to make breakfast start to shuffle out, as a fresh batch comes in to begin prepping for dinner. It’s still three-and-a-half hours until my next meal, but I’ve already walked up Montpelier’s huge hill twice, so I decide to stay in my metal and torn-blue-vinyl chair and wait. Since making the meals here is part of a NECI class, I figure that I might even learn something while I sit. It’s not long before Chef Instructor Justin Turcotte, formerly of Chez Panisse in Berkeley, sits down with his eight
on learning more about his class, called “The History and Flavor of Culture.� He explains that each NECI class lasts only two and a half weeks, and this is just the second day of a new cycle. This means that the students who were making breakfast and lunch this morning have only done so one other time — that may explain some of the minor glitches and the simplicity of the food. As the students work their way through the “History and Flavor� class, they learn how to pick apart information about a culture in order to better understand its cuisine. Turcotte likes to cover at least six different cuisines in his class — Cuban, French, Indian and Italian are all on his list this time around. But because these students are all first-years, they also spend a lot of time working on basics such as knife skills and cooking techniques. As the students improve these throughout the class, the food gets more complex. The students also rotate through
My plate is piled with food by the time I get back to my usual table — all for just $8.25. The celeriac blend and the potatoes are perfectly roasted... half-empty at breakfast, is almost completely full. The group is diverse — an impeccably dressed woman in her forties with a syrupy Southern accent is in deep conversation with a young AfricanAmerican man sporting dreads and with a woman who is surely someone’s grandma. Another table is full of NECI students, who skillfully analyze the meal. Before I attempt to do the same, I scope out the soup and salad bar. Although the greens at the bottom of the lettuce bowl are swimming in a puddle of water, some of the options are impressive; I construct a salad out of greens, walnuts, blue cheese and sun-dried tomatoes. On the way back to my table, I dip out a ladleful of beef-noodle soup. The soup is pleasant and homemade-tasting, the beets are perfectly cooked, and I enjoy the salad. I also love the eggplant topped with spinach and chunky tomato sauce, but the slab of tofu perched on top activates my “lazy vegetarian cooking� alarm. Every non-carnivore I know gets frustrated when chefs take a perfectly lovely veggie dish and crush it under the weight of plain tofu. Perhaps a complementary, well-seasoned but separate tofu dish would be a better way to ensure that non-flesh protein is available to everybody? Other than the tofu, and some
students to work out the menu for tonight’s dinner. They expect about 155 people to show up. I happily prepare to eavesdrop. Two main dishes are selected based on the availability of ingredients. The meat dish will be burgundy-braised short ribs; the meatless entrĂŠe will be battered and fried eggplant with pesto and tomatoes. Even though I’m still full, my mouth begins to water at the thought of fatty, wine-flavored ribs. Selecting sides gets a little more complicated. Turcotte suggests potato and celeriac purĂŠe, but one of the young men responsible for tonight’s starch dish isn’t a fan of celeriac. “What about a perfect, classic mashed?â€? asks Turcotte. “But we just had Dijon mashed last night,â€? the student counters. They all agree on roasted potatoes with rosemary. But what will they do with the rejected celeriac? The solution is to include it in a roasted vegetable medley along with carrots and sweet potatoes. A Greek salad will take care of the greens requirement, and help to use up a box of cucumbers that have been hanging out in the walk-in. After a brief debate about whether the anchovies should be in the salad dressing or on the side, the students head to the kitchen to begin their prep work. I corner Turcotte before he can follow them to the kitchen, intent
the different kitchen “stations� to learn how each one works. The woman who preps the salad-bar veggies tonight might bake dessert tomorrow; the youth who’s baking tonight might end up responsible for the main course. My plate is piled with food by the time I get back to my usual table — all for just $8.25. The celeriac blend and the potatoes are perfectly roasted, the eggplant is crisp and pairs well with the garlicky pesto and tomatoes that top it, and the ribs are delightful. My only complaint about dinner is that there are no sharp knives available to cut the meat. I have to pick up my rib and, by the time I’m done, there’s as much sauce on me as on my plate. Longer braising time would have rendered the meat tender enough for a butter knife, but with only five hours to plan and prepare an entire meal, that just wasn’t possible. Sated, I walk out into the fresh air and Halloween darkness. Despite some overlaps — eggplant for both lunch and dinner, potatoes at every meal — almost any college student would have been thrilled to eat the food I got to try today. It was fresh, tasty and, in some cases, locally grown. With jack-o’lanterns lighting my way, I head back downtown, where NECI runs three other, pricier eating establishments. In the Capital City, it pays — platefuls — to go the distance. >

Shop Opp Tired of waiting in line for groceries? Get them online instead. Launched last week, Grocery Go Go offers wares on the web for customers in Burlington, South Burlington or Winooski. All you have to do is visit the site, browse the virtual aisles, and set up a delivery time. For owner Patrick Kompf, the grocery site is a natural extension of his delivery biz, 863-TOGO. He created it to drum up business between meals, when fewer people are ordering take-out from local restaurants. GGG offers about 4000 different items, ranging from fennel to freezer bags. Want something else? Click the “suggest a product” button. If Kompf can find it, he’ll add it. Just don’t ask him where he shops. Because Grocery Go Go is not affiliated with a particular market, you won’t see any generic brands in your bags. Prices are generally higher online than in the grocery store. The $3.99 delivery fee doesn’t pay for the time spent shopping, or Kompf’s overhead, so he adds a surcharge to each item. That said, he aims to keep the price of staples low. Kompf believes that the bulk of his business will come from college students who are willing to pay a premium for convenience. But he doesn’t want the price of milk or bread to prevent other people from shopping at GGG — he’d like to service elderly people who no longer drive, for example. He keeps things current with weekly updates based on price changes and product availability. To place an order on Grocery Go Go, visit the website at www.grocerygogo.com. Kompf takes cash, checks and cards, including UVM’s Cat$cratch, St. Mike’s Knights Card and Champlain’s CC Bucks.

Butter-free at Butterfly Relationship wisdom recommends against comparing a current lover to a previous one. The same rule applies to baked goods: It’s not advisable to hold up a dairy- and egg-free vegan cookie against a traditional one. Otherwise, you might miss out on a simple delight chock-full of tasty ingredients. Gesine Confectionary and Gourmet Market set a new standard for fancy desserts when it opened on Elm Street in 2005; look for butter and eggs in all their glory. The rugelach are a must try, as are the Montpelier maple macaroons. It’s a little piece of Europe in central Vermont. Claire Fitts is taking a different approach at the even-newer Butterfly Bakery, where she “makes things that are good on their own merits, things that everybody can eat.” Most, but not all, of these things happen to be vegan, even if they’re not labeled as such. Refined sugar is taboo, too. Fitts is hypoglycemic, so she grew up disappointed in the “treats” that were available to her; that’s why she learned to make her own. Try the toasty-tasting Raspberry Almond Cookies featuring whole spelt flour, organic oats and Vermont maple syrup; her naturally low-fat coconut maple lemon granola just happens to be addictive. Besides cooking, Fitts loves to teach other people how to adjust recipes to meet their dietary needs, whether that means eliminating white flour in favor of whole grains or creating something that’s dairy- or wheat-free. She just finished conducting her first series of hands-on workshops, and plans to offer more in the spring. Right now she’s busy preparing specialty chocolate truffles for the holidays. Barre Street’s Butterfly is open Mondays and Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and any other time you see a sign proclaiming, “We’re Baking.” The sweet stuff is also available at City Market, Healthy Living and the Shelburne Supermarket.

Tire Irony? Anyone following International Paper’s controversial tire burn probably knows about its relationship with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. The Vermont company, which bills itself as socially and environmentally responsible, uses IP cups. GMCR released a statement last Thursday asking IP to reconsider the burn, but concerned protestors, such as Thomas Keefe of Cornwall, say it’s “not nearly enough.” Keefe and other critics of the tire burn have asked GMCR to make a statement by dropping IP as a supplier, and have threatened a boycott if the company doesn’t comply. In an email from Keefe to GMCR, he writes, “By not taking a firmer stance you are putting your bottom line ahead of our health and safety, and particularly that of our children. That’s not an acceptable calculus . . . are you an ethical company or not?” Green Mountain struck a deal last year with McDonald’s that made it the fast-food restaurant’s crank of choice. The irony is that GMCR and IP worked together for years to “design a new cup that would use renewable resources and make less of an environmental impact,” according to the ecocupinfo.com website. While most coffee cups are coated with a petroleum byproduct that makes them waterproof, these 100-percent-natural “ecotainer” cups use a biodegradable, corn-based resin instead. The result, according to Paul Comey, GMCR’s VP of environmental affairs, is a reduction in non-renewable petrochemical materials to the tune of nearly a quarter-million pounds a year. These cups “lessen dependence on foreign oil, they create jobs in the U.S. and they’re biodegradable and compostable,” says Comey. Plus, the company is “encouraging other companies to use them.” Another consideration for GMCR is that IP’s Ticonderoga plant is already planning to upgrade its pollution equipment next spring — it’s secured funding to do so — and the outcome of the tire burn will determine the kinds of controls they put in place. Says Comey, “Let’s make sure we’re sitting at the table when they decide what changes to make.” SUZANNE PODHAIZER

turning heads with their scrupulous world music. The quintet recently received favorable notice in The New York Times, and has wowed audiences from the Bonnaroo Festival to the Kennedy Center. Members have made several pilgrimages to West Africa, where they studied with the region’s master players. But TK isn’t completely bound by culture; elements of breakbeat and rock often find their way into the band’s danceable jams. Hear them with special guest Lamine Soumano at Club Metronome this Friday, and Nectar’s the following evening.

VERMONT BABE
metalcore acts Take This City by Nightfall, Wreck and Alexander Machine hit the stage.
As you may be aware, Montpelier singersongwriter Anaïs Mitchell recently inked a deal with Buffalo-based Righteous Babe records. The indubitably righteous Ani DiFranco, who happens to be performing on the Flynn MainStage on Monday, November 13, founded the label in 1990. Mitchell, 25, is psyched that her upcoming disc, The Brightness, will bear the RB imprint. “I was in high school when Ani’s music first blew up,” she says. “I bought every one of her albums and wore them out listening to them. I’d say the first songs I learned, after maybe some Beatles and Grateful Dead, were Ani’s.” It might not seem unusual for a label run by a politically conscious, guitar-wielding songstress to sign, well, a politically active, guitar-wielding songstress. Actually, it’s a rare move for the company. RB’s roster features mostly non-folk acts, including the avant-garde legend Arto Linday and genre-bending trio Drums & Tuba. “It’s a bizarre and wonderful roster which I’m glad to be a part of,” Mitchell relates. “They’ve taken great risks and brought on some really brilliant but not always immediately marketable artists. There’s a real commitment to artistic freedom and integrity.” Plenty of female singer-songwriters have been influenced by DiFranco, and some of them mistake imitation for inspiration. This isn’t the case with Mitchell, who has spent the last several years developing her own unique voice. “I can’t deny [DiFranco] has influenced my songwriting,” she says. “But I think the big creative challenge for my generation of writers, especially women, has been to not sound like her. She’s that powerful.” So how did Mitchell end up getting signed by one of her musical heroes? Coincidence played a part, but talent proved to be the clincher. Longtime Buffalo promoter/musician Michael Meldrum, whom Mitchell calls “a fairy godfather to young artists,” heard her last album, Hymns for the Exiled, and invited her to play some area gigs. “Turns out he was Ani’s childhood guitar teacher,” Mitchell explains. “Somehow, she happened not to be on tour when I came through Buffalo, and Michael convinced her and her manager to come down to catch my show.” They were suitably impressed. Mitchell’s new record, which comes out in February, was recorded in a similar, down-home fashion to her last. Once again working with Michael Chorney as producer, the music was put to tape at Grainbin Studio in Bristol. “I was actually renting the apartment upstairs, so I could just walk down in my pajamas and record,” she says. Hey, Brian Wilson used to record in his bathrobe — sometimes art demands comfort! Looking forward to hearing the finished product.
If guttural bellowing isn’t your cup o’ blood, check out the family-friendly performances over at City Hall Auditorium. Acoustic guitar hero Spencer Lewis, alt-country buck Lowell Thompson, progressive-folk troubadour Austin Sirch and The Sun & I will each deliver sets starting at 3:30 p.m. Oh, and happy B-day, BHW!

Burlington’s nonprofit champs of Vermont music, Big Heavy World, are turning 10 this week. To celebrate, they’ve got all sorts of entertaining and informative events lined up that are free and open to the public. First up is the BHW Open House, which takes place at their 215 College St. compound on Friday, November 10, at 5 p.m. Visitors can take a tour of the facilities, which include a record label, music library and a work-in-progress radio station. A local DJ will provide a soundtrack to the proceedings. That same night, at 242 Main, is the “Club & Band Snog,” which gives musicians and booking agents an opportunity to interact beyond hastily composed emails and frantic phone calls. This all takes place at 7 p.m., after which psych-blues overlords Cccome? and accordionist Leanna Inzalaco will entertain. At 10 p.m., you can hoof it back to BHW central to catch an “after-hours party” with a yet-to-be-confirmed band. Saturday’s festivities include a screening of the Sex Pistols documentary, The Filth & the Fury, at 242 Main at 4 p.m. This will be followed by Melissa Cross’ provocatively titled vocal workshop, “The Zen of Screaming.” The Big Apple-based Cross will teach you how to howl like Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, Every Time I Die and Madball, all of whom are clients. The session kicks off at 6 p.m. Grrrr! At 7:30, you can hear some of those very vocal techniques when

Youth-friendly venue 242 Main, which is overseen by Burlington Parks & Recreation, just wrapped up the first run of an ongoing after-school music program. A celebratory recital will take place on Thursday, November 9, at 6 p.m., during which the kids will show off their sonic skills. The program is an offshoot of the increasingly popular Burlington Rock Camp. On-site practice equipment, including guitars, basses, drums and amps, are provided, as are lessons and workshops with area talent including Greg Mastes, Gabe Jarrett, Richard Bailey, Zak Clark and more. Participants learn improvisational skills, how to navigate a recording session and various music-biz essentials. Local acts such as Swale, Fire the Cannons and Carrigan hold workshops and perform live each week. “Our goal is year-round music education at 242, including after school and a winter session of Rock Camp,” says Program Director Richard Bailey. “We’ve got great kids and have landed some substantial grants to help sustain it for a long time. “Bernie Sanders as well as the Children’s Trust Foundation have been a huge help in finding funding.” The next program runs from January 9 through February 15. Enrollment is $100 per student, which breaks down to a mere $5.50 a day. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. For more info, contact Bailey at 864-0123 or email Bail242@verizon.net. Full details can be found at www.242Main.com/events.html.

DUB DOUBLE-TAKE ::
A handful of years ago, New York’s
Easy Star All-Stars released a reggae version of Pink Floyd’s spacey
classic Dark Side of the Moon. Although beloved by dorm-room tokers, the album never transcended its gimmick. This isn’t the case with their latest effort, Radiodread, which finds them skankin’ their way through Radiohead’s paranoiac masterpiece, OK Computer. How does it work? By blending the moody brilliance of the original with the damp ’n’ sticky sound of dub. Don’t miss ESA’s performance at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday with reggae crew Trumystic.

reviewthis BLUEGRASS GOSPEL PROJECT, MAKES YOU STRONG
MEDESKI, SCOFIELD, MARTIN & WOOD, OUT LOUDER
(Vital Records, CD)
(Indirecto Records, CD)
On their fourth album, Makes You Strong, Bluegrass Gospel Project solidifies their legacy as one of the greatest acoustic bands ever to spring from northern Vermont. It’s no small wonder, as each of the band’s six members is a seasoned player. Ace mandolinist and tenor vocalist Taylor Armerding covers the high end with style. His gospel originals sound authentic enough to be Stanley Brothers numbers from 50 years ago. Guitarist and crooner Paul Miller possesses one of the band’s sweetest solo voices. When he duets with singer Patti Casey, the sun comes out and angels smile. In BGP, Casey has finally found a band that truly values her vocal and songwriting abilities. Bassist/vocalist Jim DiSabito sings with heart while providing much of the band’s rhythmic drive. Steve Light is rock-solid on banjo and guitar; he also sings beautiful harmony and shows himself to be a wicked dobro player. Fiddler Gene White’s style has grown more confident over time, and on this recording he also takes a turn on guitar and percussion. It’s not just high talent level that makes this band special. The sextet has created a mighty, unified sound that honors tradition, while taking the music in exciting new directions. The new collection features 12 songs plus a hidden track — a cover of the Emmylou Harris chestnut “One of These Days.” The styles represented run the gamut from country gospel classics by Hank Williams’ — “A House of Gold” — and Vince Gill’s “All Prayed Up” to originals by Armerding and Casey. The latter provides a re-make of her tune “Down From Canada,” from her 2000 solo album Under Different Skies. BGP’s cover of the Jesse Winchester ballad “That’s What Makes You Strong” features everything there is to love about the band: a gorgeous lead vocal by Miller, sweet harmony from Casey on the refrain, sparse but tasty mandolin and dobro by Armerding and Light, and rhythmic groove by DiSabito and White. Many cuts on Makes You Strong are culled from live performances; listen closely and you’ll hear smatterings of applause. Still, the band’s stage sound is even more transcendent than this recording illustrates. Bluegrass Gospel Project will wrap up a New England tour with two live performances at one of their favorite venues, the Old Meeting House in East Montpelier, on Friday and Saturday night. Don’t snooze on tickets — the band has never sounded better, and these shows will sell out. ROBERT RESNIK
Medeski Martin & Wood are the standard-bearers of instrumental, organ-driven groove-jazz. John Scofield is a forwardlooking guitarist who once skronked with the legendary Miles Davis. When these musicians join forces, as they did on Out Louder, the results are often remarkable. The four previously played together on Scofield’s 1998 album, A Go Go. The new disc is the first release on MM&W’s indie label, Indirecto. While it’s similar to their previous excursion, it’s always fun to hear such versatile players musically converse. Opener “Little Walter Rides Again” could be a lost Meters cut, albeit an inconsequential one. The song’s generic-sounding breakbeat is met by pulsing B-3 organ and Scofield’s insistent funk vamps. Consider it an appetizer before the main course. The record gets more interesting in short order. “Miles Behind” is a scorching tribute to the deceased trumpeter/bandleader. The tune mines Davis’ frenetic On the Corner explorations, combining melt-your face guitar fuzz with splats of colorful keyboards. It’s all held together by Billy Martin’s propulsive, jungle-style beat and Chris Wood’s frantic bass line. On “Tequila & Chocolate,” Scofield serves up menacing arcs of Latin-tinged guitar, as John Medeski’s organ stings like angry hornets. Subsequent cut “Tootie Ma Is a Big Fine Thing” is a grubby-sounding funk number that was no doubt improvised. Horror-movie camp pervades “Telegraph,” which boasts creepy keyboard tendrils and effected guitar. It’s on tracks like this that the band’s broad musicality is revealed. “What Now” is nearly as wild, with crankshaft rhythms and Scofield’s sandpaper blues runs. “Julia,” by contrast, is a meditative take on the Beatles classic. MSM&W’s unhurried arrangement only serves to highlight the song’s beautiful melody. The funk gets hacked to bits on “Down the Tube,” a shattered-sounding mix of stuttering rhythms and queasy guitar. The result is a little like Primus at jazz camp, which is to say, obnoxiously fun. Closing cut “Legalize It” finds the group sweating through a downtempo bossa. Easily the dullest cut on the album, it would likely sound more interesting accompanied by a little contraband. Out Louder is pretty much what you’d expect from these four gents. But that’s hardly a bad thing, considering their instrumental prowess and near-psychic grooves. Hear what I mean when MSM&W play Higher Ground on Tuesday, Nov. 14. CASEY REA

SMOOTH CRIMINALS ::
Big Apple-area quartet
FN-Co. (pronounced Effen-Ko) have a lot in common with scruffy superstars Maroon 5.
Elements of white soul, lite-funk and jam can be heard in their tunes, which are full of sugary hooks and cozy come-ons. But what sets FN-Co. apart from other pop-rock pied pipers is their earnestness. The crooning seems sincere, the riffs enthusiastic and the rhythms both intricate and accessible. Listen closely: You can almost hear the sound of hearts breaking and cash registers ringing. Catch ’em this Friday at Burlington’s Red Square.

chorus feline Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats opened in 1981 and ran continuously for nearly 20 years, to the delight of felineworshippers everywhere. With lyrics based on modernist poet T.S. Eliot’s kid-oriented collection Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the musical’s very loose plot tails a tribe of charismatic junkyard tabbies through nonsense verse and nostalgia-laced songs that smack of the nursery and are oddly addictive. The Barre Players front a full company of face-painted, Spandex-clad “kitties” in one of the first community-theater productions since the close of the show’s professional run. “Memory,” anyone? ‘Cats’

scene@ EARTH CLOCK CONSTRUCTION Blanchard Beach, Burlington, Saturday, November 4, 11 A.M.
PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
There’s something eerie about ancient stone circles like Stonehenge, but even new ones possess an air of mystery. So I thought as I watched volunteers complete construction of Burlington’s Earth Clock, a circle of 12 5-and-a-half-foot-tall stones nestled in a bend on the bike path near Oakledge Park. What prompted my observation? Maybe it was the two percussionists, beating softly on their hand drums. Or the woman solemnly circumnavigating the stones carrying a crystal. Or the woman burning a bundle of sage. Perhaps it was the fact that 15 volunteers were trying to raise the last 4-ton granite slab by hand; the others had been lifted in by crane. Or maybe it was that the volunteers were being led by a Druid. And not just any Druid, but a tall, bearded, barrel-chested Englishman named Ivan McBeth, who wore a green T-shirt and Carhartts held up by rainbow suspenders. McBeth’s white hair peeked out from beneath a blue knit cap topped with — I kid you not — a thick, black fabric mohawk. The veteran stone-circle builder guided his crew as they raised the last rock horizontally on wooden scaffolding, prying it up with a long log to insert more wood underneath. Later in the afternoon, they would use a piece of a telephone pole to roll it into its final, vertical position. The process took several hours. When I dropped by, 20 spectators had gathered to watch. David Brizendine, president of Circles for Peace, the nonprofit that designed the project, took me inside the circle to show me how it functions as a compass, with stones marking each of the four directions. When you stand in the center facing the lake, the stones in front of you show the position of the setting sun at various times of the year. It’s supposed to connect visitors with the natural rhythms of Earth, and to help cultivate inner peace. Though I felt no peace standing in the center of the bustling construction site, the strange scene did make me smile, and marvel at this crazy world. CATHY RESMER

SINGING PRAISES What the Traveling Wilburys were to rock ‘n’ roll, the Bluegrass Gospel Project is to New England’s folk scene. The six-member super-group, first formed for First Night 2001, has been recording and touring whenever schedules allow. Guitarists Paul Miller and Gene White Jr., singer-songwriter Patti Casey, Vermont state banjo champ Steve Light, bassist Jim DiSabito, and Northern Lights founder and mandolinist Taylor Armerding share the spiritual side of Appalachian string music. Tight harmonies and melodious picking mark original tunes rooted in mountain bluegrass, but accessible to folks of all faiths. “Revelation,� from their new album Makes You Strong, describes Christ in the desert and Buddha under the bodhi tree. Two shows support an emergency refuge for central Vermont’s homeless.

MORE THAN WORDS
Program begins at 9:00 a.m.
The roster of master guitarist Bill Frisell’s collaborators reads like the spines of a particularly eclectic record collection: John Zorn, Elvis Costello, Suzanne Vega, Vernon Reid, Brian Eno and The Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others. For decades, Frisell’s breadth made him one of the most sought-after guitar voices in contemporary music. More recently, he’s developed his talent as a jazz composer and bandleader unafraid of passionate pastiches. The 2005 Grammy winner rallies a string-enhanced ensemble of pro players that includes trumpeter Ron Miles, saxophonist Greg Tardy, percussionist Kenny Wolleson and bassist Tony Scherr. Expect to hear playful genre-jumping from classical to country and everything in between. Bill Frisell’s UnspeakaBle Orchestra

CUTTING REMARKS Stowe-based comic actor and entertainer Rusty DeWees lays claim to backwoods Northeast Kingdom cred as part of his duct-tape-wearing, construction-booted persona. But does The Logger know a hatchet from a chainsaw? Author Stephen Philbrick co-wrote The Backyard Lumberjack: The Ultimate Guide to Felling, Bucking, Splitting and Stacking with his axe-savvy dad. In a Logger-to-logger face-off, Philbrick explains how to manage forested land and seasonal stashes of firewood, and DeWees cuts in and cuts up with sidesplitting asides, then tells his own saw stories.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN GROWN UP GIRL NEXT DOOR I love Vermont, but also really enjoy a big city. I am intelligent, kind and a loyal friend. Happy with who I am, but there’s always room for improvement. Some of my hobbies are reading, snowboarding, sailing and dancing. I love travel and exploring new places. Looking for someone with a sense of adventure who’s warm, open, intelligent, curious, kind. lizbeth513, 42, #102630 I’M SUPER AWESOME Fun person, love to people watch and observe the scene. im_so_jeal, 20, #102616 FIESTY ROMANTIC ITALIAN What is life without romance and laughing? Looking for that knight, in slightly tarnished armor. Always willing to try something new. I see the good vs. the bad, laugh often, sometimes naive, very feminine. I like to live each day as it comes, and want to find someone to share all those days with. Groovywoman, 50, l, #102612 A WEE WHITE HURRICANE I’m a fine looking female. I like to laugh, dance, dress up and get down. Don’t dare me because I just might. Not too tall, not too short, ‘just right.’ Adjectives I’ve heard most of my life: beautiful, artistic, creative, bold, fun, great friend, lover, girlfriend, wife, sister, mother. No swears allowed, right? Twister, 51, #102596 WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN? Sometimes I do, just for fun. I think we’re all too uptight. Sometimes you just need to jump in the park fountain of life and splash around a bit. I’m looking for someone who knows how to have fun and wants to be a participant in life, not just an observer. vtredhead, 37, l, #102220 FUN-LOVING COUNTRY GIRL I’m a country girl through and through and I know I will never grow out of it! I enjoy living each day as if it was my last. I can be shy but once I get to know you I open right up. I enjoy snowmobiling, hunting, fishing and snowboarding and spending time with my dogs. VTChickyLookin4U, 22, l, #102570 MOONGAZER IN MAD RIVER VALLEY Well...this is where you make all your judgments about me without meeting me...so it’s supposed to be good right? Maybe not...

Have a wondrous day, the sun will shine again in Vermont I promise ;). Caprilady, 28, l, #102547 JUST CHECKING... I’m open, intelligent, sensuous, intuitive and honest.

LETTING GO... I’m going to be highly selective because I’m nowhere near desperate. I’m particular about who I’ll let in, but I can tell you that attractive, intelligent, compassionate, playful, intuitive people who care about the Earth always get first dibs. thirteen_moons, 28, l, #102480 THE DROID YOU’RE LOOKING FOR Quietly unconventional plain-jane geek seeks similar male counterpart for traveling, cooking, online romance, films, shouting out “Jeopardy” answers, general debauchery, foot massages.

I can’t stand country music or NASCAR. I love classic rock such as Led Zep, The Doors, etc. I am not interested in you if you excessively do drugs/drink. NativeVTer, 41, u, #102412 LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.... Ok. I have a hard time talking about myself :) ..but here it goes..I am born/raised in VTexcept for my college experience.

WOMEN seeking WoMEN KEEP ME WARM I’m new to Vermont and I’m looking for some special friends to make me feel welcomed. I’m not a picky person, I love having fun laughing, and I’m very down to earth. It’s getting cold and I’m trying to find someone to stay warm with. So if ur interested drop me a line. VTluv, 31, l, #102632 LIVELY, LEVEL-HEADED BUTCH I like really fem women and would prefer to hang out with a blond haired, blue-eyed lover who can hold a conversation. Sex would be great but it’s more about having someone to grab wings with at Hooters, a beer at a barbeque or pick up a game of racquetball. If this is you let’s play. firefighter4u, 36, l, #102593
SOFT BUTCH SEEKS COMPANIONSHIP/ FRIENDSHIP I’m one who loves dining, literature, intelligent conversation, romantic strolls by moonlight and off-beat sense of humor.

I am bumming around, seeing what may come of this. So, the advertisement: I am exceptionally sarcastic, possibly to the point of being caustic. Although I have been known to shed a tear during an Aaron Spelling television show. I really like ginger ale, really don’t like trustafarians. helicopter, 29, l, #102499 SOMETHING NEW! I’m looking for something new and fun. Just friends or maybe more... I’m fun and easygoing. I love to laugh, drink a few, and flirt.

I have a good ear with an occasional original thought, I’d love to hear others, yours? amcanirs, 53, #102544 THIS IS ALL SILLY!!!! Critical optimist kills time by trying new things that are outside of his comfort zone. Quirky Renaissance man wanna-be seeks other misguided traveler for fire starting and cave painting.

Dear Mistress Maeve, My partner tends to be the more passive one in our relationship, which suits me just fine in day-to-day life, but I prefer to mix it up in the bedroom. I like taking charge most of the time, but every once in a while I’d like him to take the reins. I know he wants to please me, but he says he feels self-conscious about being more aggressive because he’s less experienced than I am. He just came out of the closet last year, whereas I have been out for decades — and have the little black book to prove it. I can’t say I blame him for being nervous; I have a tendency to be critical and picky, and I think I scare him. I think he’s terrified to take control because he thinks I’m going to judge him. How do I make him feel secure enough to take charge? Sincerely, Jackson

mEN seeking WoMEN
Dear Jackson, The good news is you have a man who wants to please you. The bad news is you’ve created a situation in which he’s scared to try. It sounds like you’re communicating on some level about this issue, so I suggest you keep talking. If you take responsibility for being critical and picky, he’s more likely to open up. Try telling him about some of your fantasies where he takes control and rocks your world. If he knows what you’re thinking, he’ll feel more confident in turning your naughty thoughts into hot realities. Here’s an idea: Let him blindfold you. Depriving you of one of your senses automatically makes you more vulnerable and enables him to have more control. Without your critical eye on him, you both might be surprised at what he’ll allow himself to do. If all goes well, you could really put your money where your mouth is and let him tie you up, too. If you really want him to be in control, you might consider relinquishing yours.
kisses,
MM

KOEHLER LATE OF SHELBURNE, VERMONT NOTICE TO CREDITORS To the creditors of the estate of Edmund L. Koehler late of Shelburne, Vermont.
Knight I could be your Knight in shining fur! Hello. My name is Knight. I am a handsome and loving 3 year old neutered male Black Lab/Rottweiler mix. I am playful, rambunctious, affectionate, social, and confident. I lived a life tied outside before coming to HSCC. But, I have been learning about proper doggie manners and house training while I’ve been at HSCC. I’m so good that I have never had an accident inside. I do know ‘sit’ and ‘lie down’ already. I am bouncy and playful and need LOTS of exercise. A commitment to providing training, mental stimulation, and an outlet for my energy is important because I need to think as much as I need to run around. I love to swim and play fetch, and my previous humans said I love kids. So a family with kids 10 and up would be great. Let me run with them! I am goofy, wiggly, exuberant and fun! I have come a long way while here at HSCC and can go even further in a loving home with a loving family! Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
I have been appointed a personal representative of the above named estate. All creditors having claims against the estate must present their claims in writing within 4 months of the date of the first publication of this notice. The claim must be presented to me at the address listed below with a copy filed with the register of the Probate Court.
