In response to the reaction from Kevin Blier published in last week’s letters [November 2]: Fundamentally, Blier seems to be sending mixed messages by stating that he is not opposed to homosexuality, at the same time calling it “immoral and unhealthy.� Hmmm. Blier also emphasizes that he’s just opposed to equal legal treatment, i.e. penalization, of those who express it (intolerance!). Well, Ms. Resmer’s description still seems accurate to me. Secondly, as far as the Bible being hate speech, as many, including Blier, project: not exactly. Its authors aren’t on trial (in Canada, where this is going on). But, those who take out newspaper ads trying to rile the public into a God-crazed, antihomosexual frenzy with Biblical verse as their aid are. The same thing, I presume, would happen if someone placed a similar ad creating an atmosphere designed to intimidate and silence practitioners of heterosexuality. And lastly, concerning the man in Massachusetts, David Parker, “jailed for objecting to homosexuality being taught to his 5-year-old kindergartener:� the child brought home a book called Who’s in a Family, which, according to a review by Publishers Weekly, “catalogues multicultural contemporary family units, including those with
single parents, lesbian and gay parents, mixed-race couples, grandparents and divorced parents.� I propose that the idea behind the book may not have been to promote any one particular way of life (hence the diversity of the portraits), but perhaps to foster the self-esteem of children who live within or close to nontraditional, (currently) nondominant family patterns, helping them and their young friends to accept what is and not to demonize others or themselves, which can only create crusades fueled by fear and self-hate. Mr. Blier, and indeed, Mr. Parker, wherever you are, many cultural practices are bound to change. Your fear and loaded words about it will help neither you nor us, with whom you share existence, in the long run. Evan Long BURLINGTON
COWARDLY DEMOCRATS
Peter Freyne asks [“Inside Track,� October 26]: What does it say about Burlington when the city council votes down a protenant rent stabilization resolution — and then he goes on to suggest it’s the end of the Progressives.

relief. This was not a vote on rent control — it was a vote to have a committee look at ways to stabilize rents. Not particularly revolutionary stuff. Unfortunately, the Democrats cowered in the face of the landlord mob that showed up at the meeting. I don’t know about you, but I sure as hell wish the city would do something about the outrageous prices I have to pay in this city to rent an apartment. Funny Freyne didn’t mention the resolution sponsored by Progressive Fiermonte that called on the school board to pay their employees a living wage — that passed 14-0 — even though it was uncertain a week earlier that Democrats would support it. At least Progressives on the city council are still doing what Bernie Sanders did as Mayor — talking about the issues that matter most to working stiffs like me: housing and wages. To my mind, long live the Progressives. As for the Democrats — get a clue about the housing needs of Burlington’s tenants. Lydia Sanders

Harithas, also director of the Station Museum in Houston, and past director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., traveled with two curators to many Palestinian cities to visit artist studios and collect alreadymade art. The artists did not create their art for Americans, as Kelley says: “It’s understandable that the artists would want to seize a rare opportunity to speak plainly to Americans about Palestinian oppression.” The artists made the art because they are artists and that
is what they do, no different than Vermont artists. The show has no art from Burlington’s sister city of Bethlehem. When Harithas and the curators arrived at the Israeli checkpoint, at a gate in the newly built wall that totally isolates and surrounds Bethlehem, an Israeli soldier said, “What are you, peace activists?” and denied them access to Bethlehem, then arrested the two assistant curators. Kelley goes on to say that “the artworks share an unwillingness to criticize or question the party
line.” Can you imagine Kelley saying the same thing about Tibet, Bosnia, Sudan or any other country where people are oppressed? Does he truly believe that these artists are following a party line? He doesn’t get that what they share is life as a Palestinian artist. Finally, Kelley was surprised “by the number of nudes in evidence.” Gosh, I wonder where Kelley’s mind was. The only nudes I recall were in the mural “Stripped of Their Identity and Driven From Their Land,” made
with two black ink rubber stamps on white paper, depicting a massive number of people with nothing but their children, the elderly and the ill escaping with their lives. I never thought of them as being nude. They just had nothing except for their lives. This massive mural is nearly 7 by 22 feet. I asked 10 people who had seen the show, and not one remembers “a number of nudes.” Kelley should spend a week in any Palestinian city and learn what it is like to be a Palestinian. Then he would understand their art. Roz Payne RICHMOND

As the Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and the lead author of the GMO seedlabeling law, I want to respond to Secretary of Agriculture [Steve] Kerr’s comments in last week’s Seven Days [“Local Matters,” November 2]. Kerr indicated that “all manufacturers who are selling GMO product in Vermont meet both the spirit and letter of the law. That said, there’s always room for improvement.” In fact, the spirit of the law is not being followed. Secretary Kerr knows full well that the intent of the law was to make the bag clearly labeled. While the letter of the law does not require the letters “GMO” or “GE,” the intention was to insure that cus10:34 AM 1 tomers (likePage Jack Lazor’s neigh-
bor and everyday gardeners) would be able to clearly know if the seed was GMO. It is the responsibility of the Administration (Gov. Douglas and Sec. Kerr) to carry out the intent of the law. They chose not to. I am glad that Sec. Kerr acknowledges that there is “room for improvement.” Through the administrative rulemaking process, I hope that he will clarify that the acronym “GE” or “GMO” needs to be part of the labeling. If they need the intent spelled out in law, then I hope he will support working towards that end. With clear labeling, farmers like Jack’s neighbor will not inadvertently buy such seed, pay more for it, and not even get to utilize the benefits of the traits. Regardless of whether one thinks the technology is good or bad, the label should be clear so that customers know what they are buying. That information would enable customers to handle the seed wisely, lessening the possibility of cross-pollination of a neighbor’s crop. I am sorry that we might need to spend more time in the committee dealing with this issue. Had the administration simply implemented the law with the spirit that it was intended, it would be clear and we would not be in this predicament. David Zuckerman BURLINGTON

SOUTH BURLINGTON — Seven Days was named Vermont’s best non-daily newspaper of 2004 by the Vermont Press Association at its annual awards banquet last Sunday. This year’s “General Excellence Award” marks the first time the statewide organization of print journalists has recognized Seven Days with this top honor. The Burlington Free Press was also named Vermont’s best newspaper in the daily newspaper division. The annual printmedia contest is open to 10 daily newspapers and 60 non-daily newspapers throughout Vermont. In all, Seven Days received six awards for writing last year. Staff writer Cathy Resmer earned a first-place award for “Best Local Story” with her piece, “A More Perfect Union?” on efforts to unionize Montpelier’s downtown employees. Sarah Tuff received a first-place award in “Best Sportswriting” for her stories on fly fishing, bike polo and the new sport of snowkiting. Resmer and fellow staff writer Ken Picard shared a second-place award for “Best State Story” for their feature entitled “War Gains,” which examined the financial windfall to Vermont’s economy from the ongoing war in Iraq. Picard also picked up two second-place awards: “Best Local Story” for “Bullied in Brandon,” about sexual harassment and negligence in the Brandon Police Department; and “Best Feature Story” for “Behind the Lines,” about one mother’s grief over losing her only son in Iraq. “It’s nice to see our investment in news staffing and coverage being appreciated,” says copublisher Paula Routly. “We’ve clearly grown from being just ‘that arts paper’ over 10 years,” adds co-publisher Pamela Polston. “We’re really proud of our whole team.” This year, the Vermont Press Association also acknowledged the lifetime efforts of Vermont U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy to protect free speech and open government with its first-ever Matthew Lyon Award. The award is named after the former Vermont congressman who was jailed in 1798 under the Alien and Sedition Act for writing a letter to the editor criticizing President John Adams. In his acceptance speech, Leahy drew clear parallels between the Alien and Sedition Act and efforts by the Bush administration to stifle the public’s right to know, citing its disturbing habit of classifying millions of government documents. Leahy also referred to last week’s revelations in the Washington Post that the CIA is maintaining secret military prisons in Eastern Europe, which Leahy equated to the gulags of the former Soviet Union. “No matter who is in power, there is a tendency to trumpet the things you think will make you politically popular and hide those things that are a mistake,” the senator told the room of nearly 100 journalists and editors. “That is why we need the Freedom of Information Act to find out what is going on.” Earlier this month, Seven Days was also recognized by the
Vermont Council on Domestic Violence with its first-ever “Community Leadership Award” for the paper’s coverage of sex-
ual and domestic violence issues. Seven Days was the only news agency to receive this award. m

Outing Those Damned Spots on the Maples BY KEN PICARD
VERMONT — It’s been a lackluster year for Vermont’s leaf peepers, and the problem wasn’t helped any by a particularly nasty outbreak of “giant tar spot.” This new and unsightly leaf blight, which only afflicts Norway maples, began showing up this summer throughout Chittenden County and other sections of Vermont, and has hit Burlington’s Hill Section especially hard. But according to City Arborist Warren Spinner, the problem is nothing for residents to get too concerned about, since it usually doesn’t threaten the health of an infected tree. Giant tar spot is caused by a fungus typically that occurs after an unusually wet spring. fungal The spores lie dormant in leaf litter from the year before and spread to the new leaves when they bloom in May and June. By midsummer, the blight appears on maple leaves and samaras. It resembles large, raised droplets of tar — hence the name. This particular tarspot variety, which is new to Vermont, doesn’t seem to affect

sugar, silver or red maples. “Is this going to set the tree back or kill the tree? Normally, it does not,” Spinner adds. Though giant tar spot can prematurely defoliate a tree, Spinner says that by the time the spots appear, the tree has already completed much of its photosynthesis for the season. While there’s no easy way of getting rid of tar spot, Spinner recommends raking up leaves and get-
ting them off the lawn before next spring. Residents shouldn’t worry that adding infected leaves to compost will further the blight, he notes, since the spores are already ubiquitous throughout the county. Will the black spots mar the landscape next year as well? It all depends on the weather, Spinner says. If next spring is unusually dry, the spots may not appear at all. m

Police Consider Issuing Tasers BY KEN PICARD
BURLINGTON — Police in the Queen City may soon have a new type of weapon in their arsenal for dealing with violent and unruly suspects: the Taser, a dart-firing stun gun designed to instantly incapacitate a subject with a brief but intense electrical pulse. The Burlington Police Department has sent three of its officers to be trained as Taser instructors, and is already drafting its policies and
it, “The Taser is a very significant tool for people who are combative, where other pain-compliance techniques are not going to be effective.” Decker knows firsthand the weapon’s ability to incapacitate a person. During a training demonstration last month, the deputy chief agreed to be “tased” for five seconds, the same way a subject might be subdued in the field.
The hand-held device fires two barbed darts that can penetrate a person’s skin or clothing from as far away as 25 feet. use-of-force protocol for the new weapons. Between six and 12 Tasers, which cost about $1000 apiece including training and accessories, could be purchased as early as January. In the last few years, Tasers have become a popular weapon for police and the military. More than 7200 law-enforcement agencies around the country now carry them, including police departments in Brattleboro, Milton and South Burlington, and the tactical unit of the Vermont State Police. The hand-held device, often referred to as a “less-than-lethal” weapon, fires two barbed darts that can penetrate a person’s skin or clothing from as far away as 25 feet. Two insulated copper wires deliver a 50,000-volt electrical shock that momentarily disables a person’s neuromuscular controls, usually causing no lasting injuries. Proponents of the Taser and similar electro-stun devices say they’re a safer alternative to conventional weapons such as batons, mace and pepper spray. Many police commanders and corrections officers say the use of Tasers has resulted in fewer and less severe injuries to suspects and police officers alike. Some departments have reported a significant drop in excessive-force complaints and lawsuits filed by the public. Others credit the Taser with dramatic reductions in officerinvolved shootings. But human rights and civil liberties groups express serious concerns about their potential for abuse, as well as injuries and deaths attributed to the weapon. And some are calling for an immediate suspension of their use pending further independent reviews of their safety and effectiveness. In Burlington, the electro-stun guns would not replace existing non-lethal weapons, but would offer cops one more tool for dealing with violent subjects who are armed, delusional and/or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. As Deputy Chief Walt Decker puts
Decker says he didn’t experience the incredible pain some people report, but he describes the effect as “very intense, concentrated muscle contractions” that felt comparable to “grabbing an electric cattle fence.” “[The instructor] stood up, shot those little things right into my back and down I went,” Decker reports. “But after I took the hit, I could almost immediately recover.” The videotape of Decker and Detective Mike Hemond getting hit by the Taser shows both officers getting back on their feet right away; neither suffered any lasting effects. Decker explains that they videotaped the demonstration for several reasons. It shows the public that the police know what the weapon feels like before using it on others. And similar videotapes have helped departments in other jurisdictions around the country defend themselves against charges of police brutality. In fact, the South Burlington Police Department, which has had 14 of the stun guns in use for the last year and a half, required all 37 of its officers to be zapped as part of their Taser training. As South Burlington Police Chief Lealand Graham explains, “The officers want to know what it feels like, and we want them to know what it feels like. It helps prevent any misuse.” South Burlington cops have only used the devices about a halfdozen times in real-life situations, Graham adds. None of the incidents resulted in injuries. But not everyone is convinced that the Taser’s record is a stunning success. Critics of electroshock weapons express strong reservations about their potential for human rights violations, particularly because they can inflict severe and repeated pain at the touch of a button but leave behind few if any marks or burns. In November 2004, Amnesty International published an 89-page report on the use of Tasers, citing numerous examples of excessive and/or inappropriate use. They include instances of the weapon being used on children, the
elderly, unarmed mentally ill subjects and non-combative individuals who refused to obey officers’ commands or tried to flee arrest. Amnesty International called for the immediate suspension of all stun-gun weapons until rigorous, independent testing can confirm their safety and effectiveness. A report published in May by the Arizona Republic — Taser International is headquartered in Scottsdale — documented 153 cases in the U.S. and Canada in which people died after receiving a police Taser strike. The newspaper, which reviewed autopsy records, police documents, media reports and Taser International’s own records dating back to September 1999, found 21 cases in which medical examiners determined that “Tasers were a cause, a contributing factor, or could not be ruled out in someone’s death.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont has not received any complaints about the inappropriate use of Tasers in this state. ACLU-VT Executive However, Director Allen Gilbert says the group still opposes their use until more testing is done. The ACLU also wants assurances that police departments will keep sufficient records on each case in which a Taser is used, and adopt policies limiting their use to circumstances when lethal force would otherwise be used. Gilbert expresses particular concern that Tasers in Burlington could be misused because the police deal with a larger population of deranged, mentally ill and drug- and alcohol-impaired individuals than do other police forces in Vermont. Many of those individuals are also on medications or have other health conditions that could be exacerbated by a Taser shock, Gilbert adds. Decker acknowledges the public’s concerns about potential misuse and abuse of the weapon, but he believes they can all be addressed. For example, the Taser model that Burlington is considering — the X-26 — records the date, time and duration of every discharge. It also releases tiny, serial-marked “confetti” or AFIDs (AntiFelon Identification Devices) that identify exactly which unit was fired. Decker believes other problems can be minimized by appropriately training officers, and by adopting a comprehensive use-of-force policy that’s written with input from Burlington’s medical community and other emergency responders. While no police weapon is entirely without risk, Decker notes, the Taser is a far preferable alternative to chemical weapons such as pepper spray, which continues to burn a subject and poses an ongoing hazard to bystanders, medical staff and other responders. “Anything with this type of notoriety will raise a certain amount of speculation,” Decker adds. “But when you’re in a situation where someone is a danger to themselves or others and you’re looking for a non-lethal option, the Taser can be a very valuable tool.” The Burlington PD doesn’t need City Council approval to purchase the new weapons. Decker says the department will hold an informational meeting for councilors and the public sometime in the next few months to address their concerns. m

ness on to their children or put it into land conservation. Over the past few years, the Berndts say they have noticed lifethreatening changes, both to their sugar bush and to the maple-syrup calendar season. Due to global warming, the maple-beech-birch forests of Vermont are projected to shift north into Canada later this century. When that shift happens, those species will no longer dominate the northeastern United States. The Berndts believe the shift will have a significant impact on their syrup production within the next 10 to 20 years, and possibly sooner — especially if the warming is accompanied by increases in outbreaks of pests and diseases such pear thrips, lecanium scale and tent caterpillars. This class-action suit marks the first time a federal court has granted legal standing for a lawsuit that exclusively challenges the federal government’s failure to evaluate how its actions affect the Earth’s climate and its own citizens. The merits of the case will be heard Feb. 10, 2006, in the Federal District Court in San Francisco. “The government’s position is that climate change doesn’t exist, so no one can be injured,” Schems says. “We say that [Ex-Im and OPIC] have violated the National Environmental Policy Act.” “This matter goes well beyond an isolated sugar maker in Vermont,” says Berndt. ”This case is about being stewards of the land. As world citizens, we have an obligation to do that.” m

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Kerry’s New Tune
M
assachusetts Sen. John Kerry is trying to regain a little respect. The candidate who ran one of the most misguided, milquetoast presidential campaigns in history stopped by the Old Labor Hall in Barre Saturday evening. Big John keynoted a raucous Vermont Democratic Party fundraiser. And he got what he came for — the milliondollar photo on the press wires holding hands with Sen. Patrick Leahy and Senator-in-waiting Bernie Sanders. It was another successful small step on the 2004 presidential loser’s road to recovery, and a possible second shot at the White House in 2008. Despite his heroism under fire in the Vietnam War, it was painfully clear during last year’s presidential race that Kerry never really learned the lesson of Vietnam: Governments lie. His vote in October 2002, handing President George W. Bush a free pass to invade Iraq, cemented Kerry’s feet in political stone. It was the vote that led to the infamous Kerry line, highlighted in Bush campaign TV spots, “Well, I did vote for the $87 billion [for the Iraq war] before I voted against it.” So on Saturday, at the pre-rally presser at Sean & Nora’s Restaurant, we just had to ask Big John whether he and the other Democrats who backed Bush’s invasion of Iraq had let down the American people by abdicating their responsibility to be a true “opposition” party. “There’s enough blame to go around if you want to cast it,” replied Kerry, eyeballto-eyeball, “and I’ll accept my share of it. But I’ll tell you this, none of us are prepared to continue to see these kinds of miscalculations and misjudgments applied to the lives of our young soldiers and to the interest of our security.” Better late than never, eh? Of course, we couldn’t help but notice that sitting quietly next to Kerry was Vermont’s own, Sen. Patrick Leahy. Along with Sen. Jim Jeffords and Rep. Bernie Sanders, Leahy voted against the Iraq war resolution that Kerry embraced. Unlike Big John, none of Vermont crew had their eyes on the presidency. Maybe that’s why they could see clearly, while Kerry suddenly contracted glaucoma. Well, we’re at 2056 American soldiers dead — and counting — and our nation’s reputation is at an all-time international low. It’s a good time to take a moment to reflect on the consequences of poor vision. Groucho’s Farewell — Kerry got great coverage in the local press, but if “news” is what’s new and unexpected, the top story from the Barre rally was completely overlooked. The headlines should have been: “Democratic Chairman Stuns Faithful with Addiction Revelation.” The show began with Peter Mallary of Bradford at the mike. Mallary had just completed his term as party chairman, replaced that afternoon by Ian Carleton of Burlington. As the big crowd hushed, Mallary got extremely personal. “As I mulled about what I might say today as I go out the door,” said Mallary, “I was reminded of the immortal words of Groucho Marx: ‘Hello, I must be going.’” The “hello,” said Peter, was demanded by his recent return from what he called “two months of personal leave.”
“I’ve spent the last two months with a bunch of addicts and alcoholics — all people struggling with the disease of addiction, some winning, some certainly losing,” said Peter. “Simply put, they are among the most remarkable people I have ever known.” He said what? Everyone was caught offguard, everyone holding their breath. “Suffice it to say,” continued Mallary, “that while I may not score too high on the courage meter, I found I had some common ground with these folks. They taught me powerful life lessons. They made me stronger and wiser, and I thank them for that.” Whew! That explained reports of Mallary missing in action the last few months. Rumors of personal problems had been circulating among insiders, but no one imagined anything quite like this. “Sorry for being so cheerful,” quipped Peter the Brave as the hushed crowd finally exhaled with a little laugh. Ah, reality. What a concept! We all have our secret crutches and addictions, and most of the time we’re pretty darn good at keeping them well out of public view. But Saturday night in Barre, Vermonter Peter Mallary tore down his curtain of make-believe with a personal profile in courage that few who witnessed it will ever forget. P.S. Censored? As for no mention in the local press of Chairman Mallary’s surprise announcement, one has to wonder: If Republican Party Chairman Jim Barnett had made a similar public confession of residential drug treatment, would it, too, have gone unreported? GOP Dinner — As Kerry finished his speech at the Labor Hall and many Democrats swarmed close to personally touch the Big Loser, yours truly dashed out a side door, hopped in the gas-guzzler and headed up the superslab for the Sheraton Burlington. Got there just in time to hear Granite State U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu lull more than 300 well-dressed Republicans at the fundraiser into a silent stupor. In contrast to the Democratic foot-stomping in Barre, Republicans dined by candlelight. Suits or jackets and ties on the boys, evening wear on the gals. Some very nice perfume, too. One sign of where the “power” really is in Vermont was the presence at the Republican fête of lobbyists and management from the state’s electric power industry, including CVPS, GMP and the boys from Brattleboro — Entergy Vermont Yankee. Does VY’s Brian Cosgrove look great in a bow tie, or what? It’s not hard to understand why they chose Burlington over Barre. They know who’s in charge of Vermont. And, oh, yes, it was great to get such a warm welcome from so many Republicans. Word of yours truly’s defense of GOP Chairman Jim Barnett on “Vermont This Week” the previous evening had apparently been widely circulated. Hey, just calling ’em as we see ’em.

Democrats Blow the Call — A political bomb blew up in the thrower’s hand last week. We’re referring to Jon Copans’ sizzling press release accusing Republican Gov. Jim Douglas of “using taxpayer money� to “import a culture of corruption into Vermont.� Mr. Copans is the executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party. His release came as part of a recent, unusual flurry of hard-hitting shots at our beloved Gov. Scissorhands. Copans jumped on Douglas for hiring a Washington consulting firm with “deep Republican ties� to help attract business to Vermont. Specifically, Copans said the DCI Group LLC’s “ties� included links to “Tom DeLay, George W. Bush and the phonejamming scandal in New Hampshire.� Hot stuff, eh? How could the state’s longestserving, best-liked, state-government career politician be so stupid? He wasn’t. Copans was. The Douglas administration actually signed the contract with New York-based Development Counselors International (DCI) — http://www.dc-intl.com. It’s a reputable firm, apparently quite good at what it does, i.e., promote “places� for business to locate. Two decades ago, Democratic Gov. Madeleine Kunin also tapped DCI’s talent. All the Democrat attack dog had to do was Google it! Over at GOP headquarters, Mad Dog Jim Barnett thought Christmas had come early! He couldn’t believe the gift Democratic HQ had just dropped in his lap. The following morning at 11:24, Mad Dog issued a stinging response, charging the Dems had sunk to “an all-time political low� and were “spreading false information about Gov. Douglas.� He had a point. Just 44 minutes later, Copans issued a retraction and apology. “It now turns out,� wrote Jon, “that I had the wrong out-ofstate consultants. In light of this new information, please retract yesterday’s press release. I apologize to all members of Vermont’s press corps for this mistake, as well as to the Douglas administration.� End of story? Not quite. You see, Chairman Barnett seized upon the fact that Tuck Rainwater, campaign manager for gubernatorial wannabe Scudder Parker, admitted to the Asssociated Press he had tipped off both Copans and an unidentified reporter about a possible problem with the DCI contract. Meanwhile, Copans told the A.P. he learned of it from “unnamed Democratic legislators.� Interesting. You’d think they’d get their stories to match, eh? That’s why Mad Dog wants an apology not just from Copans, but from Scooter, er, Scudder Parker, too. “Democrats need to come clean about which Democrat legislators were the source of these false allegations, and Scudder Parker needs to take appropriate steps to demonstrate his regret —
if there is any — of his campaign’s involvement in this sad incident,� said Barnett. In Washington, the Dems have decided to finally make an issue of the War in Iraq and the lies that got us there. Unfortunately, it took awhile, since so many Dems, including Sen. John Kerry, helped spread them. Out in the hinterlands, that offensive is echoed by a strategy designed to cement all Republican incumbents to our unpopular president. Copans’ particularly reckless attack on Gov. Jim Douglas had a Washington, D.C., feel to it. “Corruption� is not a word to be tossed about lightly in the Green Mountains. You better have the damn evidence. Instead of wounding Douglas, the Democratic Party’s credibility took a big hit on this one. Tarrant Talks — Not to yours truly, but to Mark Johnson Monday on WDEV. And Mr. Johnson asked U.S. Senate candidate Rich Tarrant some very direct questions about his past performance as a Fletcher Allen Health Care trustee. Richie served on the Finance Committee while the biggest criminal financial scandal in Vermont history was being orchestrated under his nose. Specifically, Johnson asked about the Free Press op-ed Tarrant authored in March 2003 — a month after he resigned from the Fletcher Allen board, and well into the criminal investigation. Tarrant wrote, “No one can justly accuse Fletcher Allen of hiding the true cost of the Renaissance Project.� It was a little like claiming Saddam Hussein had WMDs. Today, everybody knows Fletcher Allen did hide the true cost. Former President Bill Boettcher is in jail. Two others copped plea deals, avoiding prison, and one more former management type awaits trial. Johnson asked Tarrant how he could have been so out of touch when he wrote his op-ed. Boettcher had been sacked months earlier. The investigation was in high gear. “Don’t you read the newspapers?� asked the talk-show host. “I don’t automatically take what’s in the newspapers as accurate,� replied the U.S. Senate hopeful, “but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong . . . The accounts in the newspapers didn’t sway me into believing that what had gone on did go on. It was when I finally got the real information, the hard facts, from the U.S. Attorney that I said, ‘Whoa!’� Better late than never, eh? As we reported last June, Tarrant signed a special “declaration� that was placed in Boettcher’s court file. After viewing documents provided by the prosecutor, Tarrant wrote, “Based on this evidence, I would not now say that ‘No one can justly accuse Fletcher Allen of hiding the true costs of the project.’� Johnson asked why he had been asked by the U.S. Attorney to write such a document for the court file. “I don’t know why they asked me to do that,� replied Tarrant.
So we asked Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Van de Graaf why. The prosecutor told “Inside Track� the reason was Tarrant’s erroneous op-ed in the Freeps. Defendant Boettcher, said Van de Graaf, raised the op-ed in his sentencing memo as a way to say, “This was no big deal.� But it was a big deal — a $200 million big deal. Thus, the feds got Tarrant to officially refute all of the erroneous, stupid allegations he made in his Burlington Free Press piece. Interesting.

theborowitz report BY ANDY BOROWITZ Cheney Moves to Secure, Subpoena-Proof Location Vice President Dick Cheney, who has spent much of the past four years in a secure, undisclosed location, has now moved to a new secure, undisclosed location that has been specially fortified against subpoenas. While it is far from certain that Mr. Cheney will be subpoenaed in the case involving the leaking of a CIA officer’s identity, the vice president made the move to his new subpoena-proof hideout “just in case,� Mr. Cheney confirmed today. “I think it is important for the American people to know that in a time of crisis, their vice president is safe from any and all subpoenas,� Mr. Cheney announced from wherever he is. According to one source familiar with the vice president’s new lair, the entire compound is protected by a laser shield not unlike the “Star Wars� missile defense system once favored by Republicans in Congress. If an unwanted subpoena should enter Vice President Cheney’s airspace, an officer manning the hideout’s 24-hour monitoring station would shout “Incoming!� after which the laser shield would incinerate the subpoena in midair. In Washington, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said he was “troubled� by the vice president’s move and demanded that his undisclosed location be disclosed. “It’s infuriating that the vice president of the United States would skip town without even leaving a mailing address,� Mr. Fitzgerald said. But that address is a closely guarded secret, the source said, adding, “Dick Cheney has personally threatened to eat anyone who leaks it.� Elsewhere, in a sign that she is gaining popularity in America, Camilla Parker-Bowles was named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive.� > 2x1-Grannis110905 11/7/05 9:47 AM Andy PageBorowitz 1 To find out more about award-winning humorist and to read his past columns, visit the Creators Syndicate webpage at www.creators.com.

ALL THE NEWS THAT GIVES US FITS
One for the Birds
O
n the whole, my sympathies are entirely with the birds. You know, that “flu� thing. There was a big story not long ago in the local daily about the menace posed by the pigeons that make (or made) their home on the roof of Chittenden Superior Court on Main Street in Burlington. I can’t remember all the details, except that the pigeons were a problem, and that all kinds of “measures� had to be taken to make sure they didn’t roost there anymore. “Spikes and netting� were mentioned, along with a specific description of pigeons as “undesirables.� At all costs, the story said, they must be gotten rid of. It was all about the “mess� they made, the “health hazard�

It gets worse. According to the latest reports, the Amazon rain forest is decreasing “two-thirds faster� than we already supposed, which was plenty. The “weather� isn’t what it used to be anywhere in the world. Thanks to the craven acquiescence of Democrats in Congress, Dick Cheney and his gang are about to start drilling for oil in the Alaskan wilderness. And in California, they’re “reassigning� more than three million acres of “critical habitat� that the redlegged frog relies on for its survival. Why? In order to build a million more junky “homes,� which few can afford, and which will fall into the sea when the place finally collapses. As it will — make no mistake. Next year is the centenary of the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, when the “insurers� did to San Franciscans what they’re now doing, exactly, to the washedout citizens of New Orleans: “Well, you have earthquake (or, let’s say, “hurricane�) insurance, so we’ll cover you. But the fires (or floods) that followed this weren’t mentioned in our contract. You’re on your own.� As it happens, the “red-legged frog� is the one that Mark Twain wrote about in The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, a classic of American literature that used to be taught in the schools, when they still taught things in schools, rather than just “testing� children to see if they can turn on a computer and push

Curses, Foiled Again Sheriff’s deputies in Yavapai County, Ariz., reported that a man who was housesitting for his father encountered an intruder standing naked in an upstairs room holding two rifles belonging to the homeowner. The man said that he got the rifles away from the man, who started to flee, then stopped to ask for a pair of shorts. When deputies arrived, they found wet socks and wet pants with a wallet and identification belonging to Nickos George Kopsaftis. They heard a noise next door and found Kopsaftis trying to hot-wire a car. “He was wearing the shorts that were donated to him,� sheriff’s official Susan Quayle said after the suspect’s arrest.

coons have overrun vineyards in the central region, wiping out “almost the entire harvest in a matter of days,â€? according to Brandenburg vintner Werner Kothe. Raccoons were introduced to the region in 1934 when Nazi air force chief Hermann Goering imported them from the United States to “enrichâ€? Germany’s wildlife. Finding no natural predators, the animals have bred unchecked ever since. Last year, bounty hunters in Brandenburg bagged 3471 raccoons, but scientists estimate that Germany has more than a million raccoons, which have begun spreading to neighboring countries at an alarming rate. • Meanwhile, Britain is reintroducing beavers to its countryside 500 years after they were hunted to extinction. Six European beavers from Bavaria will be confined to a 500-acre site at an estate in Gloucestershire until they settle in. Then they will be allowed to roam freely. Experts insist that the beavers won’t endanger fish stocks because they eat only plants.

t’s no secret that Circus Smirkus — once Vermont’s nimblest nonprofit — has been grounded by a financial crisis. What’s still mysterious is the way in which the 18year-old circus-arts program is accounting for its losses. While the organization has begun a massive fundraising campaign to raise $250,000 — with an eventual goal of $750,000 — it’s been mostly mum on the matter of missing half a million bucks. Disappearing act? “We’re getting lots of assistance trying to figure out what went wrong and what we need to do to make sure this does not happen again,” says
Circus Smirkus has been mostly mum on the matter of missing half a million bucks. Disappearing act? board member Mark Heyman, a humanresource specialist who holds a law degree. “Until we have the results of those efforts, I’d rather not get into details publicly.” Barton Chronicle reporter Joe Gresser, a veteran arts organizer himself, went to the organization’s tax returns for answers. In a recent article, he tracked the red ink to the end of the 2003 touring season, when Circus Smirkus reported a whopping deficit of $410,000. His investigation precipitated an interview with Circus Smirkus Executive Director Ed LeClair, who blamed the shortfall on a number of factors, including poor ticket sales and an increase in workers’ comp costs. Also, Circus Smirkus founder Rob Mermin had been ill for most of the year, and LeClair had only recently started fundraising full-time. With its cash reserves depleted, Circus Smirkus borrowed $250,000 from the Merchants Bank. The next year — 2004 — generated a small profit, but not enough to make a dent in the debt. The organization decided to go ahead anyway with plans for an after-school program that would provide year-round training for Smirkus — tuition was expected to help even the cash flow within the organization. But the Circus Academy never opened in September because the summer tour took a financial tumble. There were logistical problems: The trucks, trailers and cook bus broke down. And programming mistakes: “We expanded dates in some areas that were jam-packed last year. They didn’t get filled like we thought they would,” Heyman says. LeClair came to the aid of the touring troupers, but in so doing backburnered crucial day-to-day fundraising. Meanwhile, two beloved coaches were fired for reasons Heyman won’t reveal and — perhaps as a result — enrollment for the academy came in below expectations. In September, Circus Smirkus suspended operations, surprising students, parents and some staff. Why didn’t the board of directors see
this coming? Shouldn’t the serious fundraising have started two years ago, when the $250,000 debt was incurred? Did any of the 15 year-round paid Circus Smirkus employees — 100 in the summer — fall down on the job? As yet, the organization isn’t saying. In a recent letter to parents, “the Smirkus Staff” spelled out a three-phase recovery plan. The first quarter-million will go to reimburse academy tuition, pay outstanding invoices and rehire key staff to begin program planning. The next will bring about the resurrection of the Big Top Tour, Smirkus Camp and in-school residency programs. And the third is described as “a return to full health with sound fiscal policies in place . . . Our goal is to once again bring circus arts to children, but to do so in a manner that makes us financially able to do so for years to come.” No doubt, a difficult balancing act. Meanwhile, the simpler “save the circus” line is apparently working with the general public. Mermin is asking every Vermonter to donate a dollar to the cause. Although he can’t say exactly how much they’ve raised to date, Heyman reports the collection is going well. An anonymous challenge grant of $125,000 has been motivating. But in a season already marked by donor fatigue, how many more do-or-die disaster drives can succeed? Here’s hoping Circus Smirkus ascends to its former artistic glory, and, before it steps out again, strongly considers a safety net.

A chapter is coming to a close at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier. After 32 years in the business, owners Michael Katzenberg and Linda Prescott are selling their beloved bookstore, a haven for local lit lovers from Burlington to White 2x5-3Toms110905 River Junction. The couple, who have championed local authors and free-speech issues, wouldn’t hand it over to just anyone, Katzenberg assures.

Six degrees of Kevin Bacon? A recent wire report in The Burlington Free Press noted the passing of the actor’s dad. It also mentioned that Edmund Bacon, the former city planner of Philadelphia, did some work in Burlington in the ’70s. Veteran planner Art Hogan remembers him well. Bacon made sure buildings around Burlington Square and the former Radisson Hotel preserved views in all directions. He’s the reason you can see both the Adirondacks and the Congo Church from Cherry Street. Bacon was “also enthralled with the Waterfront,” says Hogan, who was Burlington’s director of planning and development from 1963 to 1970. “He didn’t want any process in the development area to stop the free flow of people between Church Street and the Waterfront.” In planning speak, they call that “connectivity.” m

THE WORD ON LOCAL LIT
Greek Speak
L Wise Guy: The Life and Philosophy of Socrates by M.D. Usher, with pictures by William Bramhall. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 40 pages, $16.
et’s sit back for a second and imagine bestselling bumper stickers for the class of 2020. “TinkyWinky Is My Co-Pilot.” “I Flunked Out of Hogwarts.” “My Parents Drove an SUV.” “I Know That I Know Nothing.” OK, maybe not that last one. But if University of Vermont classics professor M.D. Usher has his way, some of today’s kids will get early exposure to the famous motto of the ancient Greek thinker Socrates, who castigated the authorities of his time for claiming to know way too much. Usher conceived and wrote the text for a picture book called Wise Guy, a retelling of the life of Socrates, which came out this month from venerable publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Socrates? The guy who invented dialectical reasoning? Who inspired Plato’s notion of the noumenal world? Who was condemned to death for “corrupting the youth of Athens” and forced to drink poison hemlock? Who’s made thousands of undergraduates scratch their heads over his rigorous definitions of truth and virtue? Yes, that Socrates. In Usher’s book, with wonderfully saucy illustrations by Los Angeles Times political cartoonist William Bramhall, the great man reappears as “a curious boy, and cheeky too,” who asks adults inconvenient questions. As he grows up, the questions become philosophy, but Socrates is no egghead — he does his thinking outdoors in the warm sun, dances the night away, and goes bravely to battle without shoes. He mocks his own ugliness and has no interest in material possessions. Socrates is the original rebel-philosopher-coffeehouse-deadbeat, with a dash of the Buddha thrown in. As the last pages of Usher’s book show us, he also managed to influence a long line of thinkers more solemn than he, from Erasmus to Thomas Jefferson to Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi.
Bramhall, who was matched with him by his editor and given a year to complete 40 pages of illustrations. “He did all the work — my part was the easy part,” says Usher, who provided Bramhall with suggestions for visualizing the text. “He really executed all those notes and improved on them in the way only an artist could.” Usher notes the layers of meaning in Bramhall’s paintings — the Buddha-esque pose in which Socrates sits as he prays to a “Bob-Dylan looking Pan,” the “visual parody” of Raphael’s The School of Athens on the last page, where Socrates’ disciples through the ages appear as if posed for a group portrait. How did Usher make Socrates’ thought comprehensible to the Pokémon set? “The questions of philosophy are not complex — they’re simple,” he explains. “It’s the answers and the solutions that are complex. So I wanted to privilege the question-asking rather than the answering. There’s a question on every page, and that’s intentional.” Besides the illustrations, the book offers two parallel texts on each page — a simple narrative of Socrates’ life, which Usher calls the “naïve text,” and a sidebar in which aspects of his thought are
How did Usher make Socrates’ thought comprehensible to the Pokémon set? The idea for the picture book came to Usher as he was writing an academic article about “Socrates as a satyr-character.” “I got to thinking about Socrates, what makes him attractive,” says the 39year-old chair of the Classics Department, who lives in Shoreham. “He has all those qualities of being cheeky, two sheets to the wind . . . He’s a grandfatherly sort of character, but he also is very childlike himself.” Socrates’ incessant questions about justice and virtue reminded Usher of “the way children ask, ‘Are we there yet?’ and ‘Why is the sky blue?’ — these questions adults don’t think about and whose answers they take for granted.” He began “writing a little story” about Socrates for his youngest son, then 4. “I’ve always been addicted to the picture-book genre, and if you have your own kid, you start becoming a connoisseur of children’s books,” says Usher, the father of three. With hindsight he quips, “Children’s publishing is the most competitive thing on the planet.” But Usher was “completely green behind the ears” when he sent the text to a couple of publishers who were accepting unsolicited manuscripts. Eight months later, Farrar, Straus and Giroux expressed interest. By pure luck, “It emerged from the slush pile and caught some intern’s eye,” says Usher. That was three years ago. Before going through the printing process, Usher’s manuscript went to
explained in more sophisticated language. “The two-tier thing was less of a gimmick than it was to involve many levels of readers,” Usher says. For instance, one page of “naïve text” describes the young Socrates hanging out in a carpenter’s workshop, wondering what makes a table a table and a bed a bed. The sidebar tells us these questions eventually led Socrates to the idea that “objects in our world have an invisible, eternal blueprint to which they correspond.” The illustration brings that lofty abstraction to life by showing teenaged Socrates sprawled over a chair and staring fiercely at the carpenter’s blueprint. “It takes a lot of hard thinking to distill something and make it as simple as it really is,” says Usher. “Writing the book helped me to understand, in some ways, the simplicity of Plato’s and Socrates’ thought. It’s been shown that children are capable of philosophical abstraction, even if they don’t call it that. I had to rewrite some sentences to make them simpler. But I don’t think I’ve reduced Socrates or simplified him away.” Another challenge for Usher was reconstructing Socrates’ youth. The philosopher himself wrote nothing, and all we know about his life comes from the accounts of Plato and Xenophon. “We meet Socrates as an adult male, in his fifties, who’s walking around the streets of Athens barefoot and engaging anyone he can grab in conversation,” says Usher. “We really don’t know what
he was like as a child, but one can only imagine what an annoying child he must have been. We get little anecdotes, like he was the son of a stonemason, but none of these things are very reliable. He’s right up there with Jesus as being one of these mythical icons of a personality.” So Usher took Socrates’ adult interests and “retrojected them back into his younger self.” The book has no specified age range. “I got my first Amazon review, and somebody wrote, ‘For children ages 1 to 92,’” Usher says. Still, Wise Guy reflects a new publishing boom in biographies aimed at children. “In the last four or five years, we’ve seen wonderful, wonderful picture-book biographies come out,” says Elizabeth Bluemle, owner of The Flying Pig Children’s Books in Charlotte. She notes that biographies for older kids are popular, as well. Moreover, she says, “Kids actually do read them. It’s not just librarians trying to get them to read.” Despite what cynical adults might assume, tweens don’t come to Bluemle’s store looking for bios of Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan; rather, Helen Keller, Anne Frank and polar explorer Ernest Shackleton are typical requests. Socrates may fit right in — and Usher thinks he’ll have something to say to young readers. “Socrates and the ancients were capable of what they were capable of because they didn’t have the distractions that we have. Consumer culture, entertainment culture . . . without sounding like a Luddite or a fuddy-duddy, I think they’re a big problem for young people today,” says the professor. He has two more classics-for-kids books in the works — a retelling of Apuleius’ fable The Golden Ass and a life of Diogenes the Cynic, in which the famous homeless curmudgeon appears as a dog. Usher points out that Socrates “didn’t care much about money and was concerned about being happy . . . not in the sense of being self-centered and seeking pleasure, but rather seeking the truth and doing what’s right. These are things one never grows out of.” He hopes the book will show parents as well as kids that deep thoughts aren’t just for brainiacs with tenure. “We think of philosophy as an academic subject,” says Usher, “but [in ancient Greece] it was really conversation. Talking about ideas, challenging assumptions. Everybody’s capable of this.” m

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION
A Sorry Mess
B
ack in New York’s bad old days, I was mugged in the vestibule of a friend’s Lower East Side building. Two kids, about 13 years old, stepped in behind me. One barred the door. The other covered the intercom with his back. He poked a penknife into my side. “Gimme your money.” “I don’t have any money,” I replied, trembling. It was true. I pulled my jeans pockets out and offered him a subway token, the only tender I was carrying. He sneered at it. The boys exchanged glances. A few endless seconds elapsed. The spokesman addressed me: “OK.” Then he slid along the wall to the opened door. Stepping outside, he muttered in my direction, “Sorry.” Sorry for yourself, motherfucker, I thought. Now you’ll just have to go out and pull another crime. This memory came back to me when Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid demanded that Bush and Cheney apologize for the CIA leak and “come clean with the American public.” Come clean? No way. Before the 2006 elections, I’m hoping for mountains more dirt — and the docket lengthening beyond Libby, DeLay, Abramoff, Franklin, Tobin and Safavian, to Frist, Rove, Norton and (I can dream) Cheney and Bush. Apologize? My first reaction: Who’s sorry now, motherfuckers?
An apology is an implicit admission of fallibility. It is also to promise to do better. That moves the recipient toward forgiveness. Still, as it happens, I have been reflecting recently on apology and its complement, forgiveness. October was the Jewish High Holy Days, culminating in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Fittingly, the first sins named in the Viddui, or confessional prayer, are slander and gossip. No surprise, the Republicans are claiming innocence. But in the spirit of the season, let’s imagine the words “I’m sorry” emerging from Dick Cheney’s smirking lips. What might such an apology accomplish? To get your name into the Book of Life for the coming year, a Jew has to atone genuinely. God knows when you’re bluffing. To keep your office in government, the apology can sometimes be scripted and unfelt. Early speculation had Scooter Libby pleading guilty, taking the fall in order to forestall a trial more damaging to his bosses. That he didn’t do so might signal realism in the White House. Polls show a majority of Americans believe Libby’s case indicates wider problems of “ethical wrongdoing” within the Administration; a plea probably wouldn’t exonerate them. Then again, Reagan apologized for Iran-Contra and rose again. When Rove thinks a mea culpa will work, we’ll hear one. Apologies are useful for less cynical purposes, though, in politics as in personal life. Before bowing at God’s feet, Jews spend the month humbling themselves to other people — resolving quarrels, asking forgiveness even for wrongs perpetrated in ignorance. For believer or atheist, it’s an interesting exercise. No matter how lightly delivered, the words change the speaker. An apology is an implicit admission of fallibility. It is also a promise to do better. That moves the recipient toward forgiveness. Apologies are necessary to get from conflict to peace, argues psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin. “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.
VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY
Benjamin, whose work concerns recognition — the ways we know ourselves and others, and ourselves through others — is collaborating with a Palestinian therapist in a project to enable Jews and Palestinians to acknowledge the suffering they have caused each other. In the process, they recognize each other’s humanity. To be meaningful, Benjamin says, this recognition must be public; the more powerful player must “go first.” An example: South Africa’s Truth & Reconciliation Commission, along with the amnesty granted the criminals of apartheid. Was justice done? Punishment, the Mandela government must have reasoned, temporarily settles scores, but in the long run it may escalate the cycle of vengeance. Was every white cop or bureaucrat named in the witness box truly sorry? It almost doesn’t matter. The public acknowledgment of wrong prevented South Africa from drowning in the blood of its past. That gave justice a chance. The GOP isn’t apologizing for the pain it has caused Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame, the Iraqis, U.S. soldiers or American democracy. No, they are acting like my muggers: feeling sorry for them-
selves, and more chutzpahdic, vying for sympathy. From the National Review to Fox News, conservative journalists are blabbing about “the criminalization of politics” — that’s the Democrats’ tactic, in case you’re confused. “It’s a reasonable bet that the fall of 2005 will be remembered as a time when it became clear that a comprehensive strategy of criminalization had been implemented to inflict defeat on conservatives who seek to govern as conservatives,” wrote Bill Novak, the Time columnist who outed Plame. Money-laundering, perjury, illegal war, torture — yeah, I’d call that governing as conservatives. As for Novak’s poor-us pose, the blogger Hunter expressed my sympathies best: “Oh, boo-goddamndumbfucking-hoo.” All right, so I’m not ready to reconcile with the Bush administration. But its irreconcilable differences with the Iraqis make me and all Americans the Iraqis’ enemies, like it or not. The Viddui is spoken in the first person plural: Each person’s sin is the whole community’s sin. I am responsible, if not to atone for my government’s wrongdoing, then to acknowledge publicly the suffering it causes and act against it, for peace. m

EORGE’S NOSE WAS OUT OF JOINT.
“What do you mean, Nate’s not here?” he wheezed, straining to peer into the apartRUTH ment over Ella’s shoulder. “Where else HOROWITZ would he be?” “At the airport?” Ella answered. George nodded, eyeing her in a way that made her doubt her own veracity, even though she was telling the truth. Sweat trickled down from under his Yankees cap. He was breathing hard after the 3-mile walk from his home. Naturally, he hadn’t called ahead. He never did, dropping in unannounced at the most inconvenient hours and then making himself at home. Acting as he belonged here. Patience, Ella reminded herself. He’s Nate’s oldest friend. George licked his lips. Next thing she knew, he’d be wanting a glass of water. And then she’d never get rid of him. “What’s he doing at the airport?” “Picking up his mother.” “That’s right!” George laughed. “Today’s the big day. You’re nervous, right? But I’ll tell you what,” he went on, inching his foot inside the door. “You get me a glass of water and I’ll keep you company while you get ready. The distraction will be good for you.” Sighing deeply, Ella stepped back to let him in. “Don’t mind me,” he said as she handed him the water. But how could she not? He followed her from room to room, taking insect-sized sips from his glass and filling the steadily shrinking space between them with his relentless commentary. “Hospital corners, eh?” he remarked as she tightened the sheets on the bed Nate’s mother would use while Ella and Nate camped out on the couch. “Think that will make up for the fact that her son’s shacking up again?” “Smart move,” he noted as she gathered the Glamour and People magazines in the living room and carried them to the recycling. “You wouldn’t want her seeing that dreck. As a rule, she’s liked his brainy girlfriends best.” “You really are freaking out, aren’t you?” he surmised as she ran her sponge over the greasy lids of the jars on the shelf above the stove. “No one cleans spice bottles.” He’d scooted the desk chair into the kitchen doorway. His water was barely down an inch. He’d never leave. He’d be here when Nate returned, and watch what happened in those critical moments when Ella and Nate’s mother first met. Years from now, when Ella was history, George would still be here, sharing his notes from today with Nate’s one hundredth lover. Thrusting the offending oregano in George’s face, Ella raged, “They’re dirty, all right? They’re disgustingly filthy!”
“Did I say something wrong?” She turned away, too furious to answer. Because, of course, he hadn’t. And that was the worst part. Everything he said was precisely on the mark.
STORY
4+4 FICTION Anyone who’s ever traveled knows that the journey itself is often more interesting than where it starts and stops. That’s the idea behind “4+4 Fiction,” a series of short stories running until mid-December. We came up with a first line and a last line, and commissioned eight local authors to concoct the tale in between. We asked four writers to start with the sentence “George’s nose was out of joint” and end with “Talk about temptation.” Then we reversed direction, and asked four other wordsmiths to start with “Talk about temptation” and end with “George’s nose was out of joint.” We hope you enjoy the trip as much as we have.
For weeks she’d been dreading and planning this visit: the arrangements, the itinerary, and especially the menu, since Nate’s mother was such a food snob. In the freezer was the leg of lamb Ella would serve on Tuesday with Israeli couscous and miniature vegetables. And on the counter was the chocolate-glazed Viennese torte she’d prepared entirely from scratch for tonight’s dessert. Ella had made the cake just once before, and Nate had bragged about it to his mother, who’d reportedly replied, “Ella must make it for me when I come.” The request was presumably a compliment, but the recipe was a complicated affair, and with
each task — melting the chocolate in an improvised double-boiler, whisking the Cognac into the heavy cream, re-hydrating the Turkish apricots and pressing the pulp through a sieve — Ella’s resentment had grown. Just before George’s knock, she’d finally reached the penultimate step: pouring the glaze over the assembled layers and leaving it to harden. But the shell wasn’t setting right in this heat. To speed up the process, Ella opened the freezer. Stacking the premium ice creams on one side and balancing the lamb atop the French roast coffee beans on the other, she slipped the platter into place. “Careful,” George warned, and Ella jerked in surprise, jostling the lamb, which rolled off the pile and crushed the cake before crashing to the floor and skittering into the corner. “Fuck!” Ella screamed. The dessert was destroyed. She’d nearly fractured her toe. Nate’s mother would arrive any minute. And George, sitting placidly with his water, was saying, “I told you to be careful.” Ella slammed the freezer shut. She grabbed the four-pound mass of frozen flesh and hefted the hunk. Then she wound up like Matt Clement and turned back to face George.

In Search of Dana Stone Remembering Vermont’s forgotten Vietnam War photographer
T STORY
KEVIN J. KELLEY IMAGES
DANA STONE COURTESY TOM STONE
he sun was shining on a nearby eucalyptus grove as Mini-Grunt and the Son of Captain Blood roared up Route 1 in eastern Cambodia on their red Honda motorcycles, hoping, perhaps, to be captured by Viet Cong troops. It was April 6, 1970. The two American combat photographers were never seen again. The Son of Captain Blood was Sean Flynn, whose father, Hollywood’s Errol Flynn, had risen to stardom in a 1935 pirate film entitled Captain Blood. Mini-Grunt was Dana Stone, Burlington-born and Wilder-raised. GIs in Vietnam gave Stone that nickname because of his height (5-foot-6) and because they considered him one of them — just another grunt slogging through the jungle and the paddies, trying to do a job and stay alive. Stone, who disappeared 12 days shy of his 31st birthday, is also considered “one of the greatest war photographers who ever lived.” That’s the judgment of
Perry Deane Young, a U.S. reporter who spent six months covering the war, and who wrote about Stone and Flynn in a 1975 book entitled Two of the Missing. “They were amazing photographers,” Young said in a recent phone interview from his home in North Carolina, “especially Dana, who was also an amazing person.” A UVM dropout who paid his own way to Vietnam in 1965, Stone was a self-taught photographer, inveterate practical joker and lifelong adventureseeker. He had persuaded Steve Taylor, then managing editor of The Valley News, to write a To-Whom-It-MayConcern letter affirming that Stone had been assigned by the Vermont-New Hampshire daily to shoot photos of the Vietnam War. Taylor, now the New Hampshire commissioner of agriculture, remembers
Stone showing up at the Valley News office looking like a typical Vermont farm kid. “I figured, ‘Why not?’ so I batted out the letter,” Taylor recalls. “He thanked me and left. That was the only time I saw Dana, and we never did get any photos from him.” Other media outlets would get plenty. One of Stone’s photos appeared on the cover of Time in October 1967; others were transmitted all over the world by the Associated Press or broadcast by CBS News. In Saigon, Stone presented Taylor’s letter to officials of the South Vietnam government. Because they could not read English and knew little about the United States, Stone convinced them that The Valley News was basically the same as The New York Times. He soon finagled a freelance arrangement with United Press International, which agreed to pay Stone up to $20 for each photo. Equipped with a Nikon
geous Vermonter is little remembered in his native state. It seems fitting, then, to pay respects to Dana Stone on this Veterans Day, 35 years after his final assignment. Those who knew him best describe Stone as insatiably curious, passionate, resourceful and fearless. He was also an impish prankster who would stick his thumb in a fellow newsman’s mashed potatoes, or shoot off firecrackers to awaken a bunkmate. Stone’s sister, Bobby Harley, continues to view him as a role model. “I always marveled at his ability to be bold,” she says from her home in Florida. “Nothing he did could ever surprise me or anyone else who knew him.”
Stone traveled with squads of grunts on search-and-destroy missions where it was seldom clear which side was doing the searching and who was going to be destroyed. camera he’d recently picked up in Tokyo, Stone set off to take pictures of U.S. soldiers fighting bloody, losing battles in places such as Khe Sanh, Hue and the Ia Drang Valley. Today, Stone is memorialized in the War Remnants Museum in Saigon. Among the first exhibits visitors encounter are photos of and by Stone, who is described in one caption as being from Vermont. He is also remembered by journalistic colleagues and some of the soldiers whose hardships he shared. Jack Laurence, formerly of CBS News, wrote a 2002 memoir of the Vietnam War in which he quotes an exchange involving two GIs and CBS cameraman Keith Kay one week prior to Stone’s disappearance. “Where’s that funny little guy with the glasses?” one of the GIs asks. “He sure is a funny little fucker, that guy.” “Most assuredly had his shit together.” Regrettably, this talented, coura-
DANA STONE, 1970
Stone wasn’t comfortable in classrooms, Harley recalls. “Dana had trouble sitting down to study,” she says. “He’d probably be diagnosed today as having ADHD.” In contrast to this restlessness, Stone’s parents were a staid couple deeply rooted in the Connecticut River Valley. Two of the Missing describes Bob and Connie Stone as taciturn Yankees uncomfortable discussing their missing oldest son. Bob Stone, a Navy veteran, worked for the post office. Connie, a teacher and housewife, was the daughter of a local dairy farmer. “Our parents were supportive. They wouldn’t put it in your mind that you couldn’t do something,” Harley says. “But they certainly didn’t influence Dana to live the way he did. I don’t think my father ever took a vacation away from home.” The Stones later produced another son, Tom, who worked for 10 years as an instructor at the Mountain Warfare School of the Army National Guard in Jericho, Vt., and who then spent eight years circling the globe on foot. Now 53, Tom Stone lives in Tunbridge — except that he’s currently on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan working as a U.S. Army medic. Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N.H., is the only institution that has formally celebrated the life of Dana Stone. In 1991, the boarding school named a photography room in his honor. Stone graduated from Kimball Union in 1958, after winning recognition as an athlete. Harry Black, a friend since childhood, says Stone was motivated to play ice hockey “because he liked to knock people down.” Stone may have been drawn to the wide world out of boredom with life in rural Vermont, Black suggests. The

summer after graduation, Stone worked at a textile mill near Quechee, where he would sit in front of a rolling bolt of material and pick off lint with tweezers. “One night he didn’t come home from work,” Black recalls. “He decided he’d had enough.” Stone later hitchhiked to the Midwest. He lived for a month in a packing crate, then got a job on a freighter in the Great Lakes. After returning to Vermont to study, briefly, at UVM, Stone hitchhiked to California, where he worked on and off for a few years at a logging camp near the Oregon border. During a visit to San Francisco in 1962, Stone met Louise VanDeren Smiser at a North Beach coffeehouse. The two were married at the U.S. embassy in Bangkok in 1968, and lived together in Vietnam throughout Dana’s years there. When not on one of his frequent forays into the combat zones of South Vietnam, Stone would sometimes hang out at “Frankie’s House,” a Saigon version of a Haight-Ashbury crash pad. Its leading denizen was ace photographer Tim Page. Sean Flynn also spent time at Frankie’s House, which was named for a Vietnamese houseboy who regularly acquired some of the best pot in the city. In his 2002 book The Cat From Hue, Jack Laurence gives readers a taste of the life Dana Stone lived as a ’60s hipster in a most unmellow milieu. “By late 1965,” Laurence writes, “the Saigon press corps had divided itself between the straights and the crazies, the serious reporters and the cowboys, and those who lived at Frankie’s House were counted among the crazies . . . The straights . . . usually obeyed the ground rules and the curfews.” Stone, one of the “crazies,” recorded battle scenes that have become emblematic of the United States’ defeat in Indochina. He was in the imperial city of Hue after the Viet Cong overran it during the 1968 Tet offensive. Stone also hunkered down alongside the GIs who were surrounded and incessantly fired upon at the Khe Sanh combat base, near the border with North Vietnam. Most of the time, though, Stone traveled with squads of grunts on search-and-destroy missions where it was seldom clear which side was doing the searching and who was going to be destroyed. In these situations, Stone was most comfortable when he was walking point — that is, out in front. “Stone was a lapsed logger from Vermont, 25 years old with 60-year-old eyes set in deep behind wire-rimmed glasses, their shrewdness and experience almost lost in the lean angles of his face,” writes Michael Herr in Dispatches, his 1977 war correspondent’s chronicle. “We knew for certain

that he would be walking well ahead of the rest of the platoon on the trail . . . since he was easily the best equipped man in the party for spotting booby traps or ambushes. But that had nothing to do with his being on point. Dana was the man in motion; he just couldn’t slow himself down.” By early 1969, even Stone was burnt out by the war. He and Smiser set off on an overland journey from India to Sweden, where he apparently hoped to work as a logger. Ten months later, however, the couple was back in Vietnam. They may have decided it was the only place Stone could get paid relatively well for what he most loved doing. The photographer had become determined to establish himself as a TV cameraman, Laurence reports in The Cat From Hue. “He was more serious about his work, more willing to discuss it, more anxious to get a staff job at CBS News.” Laurence recounts a debate he had with Stone in Saigon in late March 1970 over whether Dana should go to Cambodia to cover Viet Cong incursions there, as CBS News officials in New York preferred, or re-enlist with Laurence’s TV crew that was accompanying Charlie Company in southwestern Vietnam. Stone opted for Cambodia. “Dana, the tough-minded Yankee individualist who had always followed his own star,” Laurence writes, “was becoming a company man.” Whatever his motivation, Stone made a choice that would cost him his life. Six European and Asian photographers and cameramen had been seized near the village of Chi Phou in Cambodia the day before Stone and Flynn showed up. The missing journalists were believed
captured by Viet Cong or North Vietnamese Army troops east of the village. Stone and Flynn laughed off the danger, according to a New York Times correspondent who talked with them the day they disappeared. Several other reporters who had been captured and released had managed to get exclusive photos or quotes from behind enemy lines — a feat seen as an enormous boost to one’s career. Stone and Flynn “appeared to be trying to become the first American journalists to be taken and released by the other side,” Laurence speculates. Mini-Grunt and the Son of Captain Blood waved jovially as they headed off on their motorcycles, straight into enemy territory. For the next few days, friends back in Saigon remained confident the pair would extricate themselves from whatever weirdness they encountered. Years after the war ended, Tim Page, the proprietor of Frankie’s House, went looking for his friends’ remains, or information about their fate. According to the most reliable intelligence, the two photographers were held captive for as long as a year and were then executed, probably by the genocidal Khmer Rouge.

And if LBJ had said, ‘You can’t take pictures of caskets coming back,’ you can bet that Page, Flynn and Stone would have been out there in a minute.” m

When Gertrude Stein wrote, “There is no there there,” she didn’t mean Williston. But then again, she never saw the acres of asphalt and anonymous retail boxes that have become the core of what was once a bunch of farms. Now Inland Real Estate, the national shopping-center company that owns the Maple Tree Place mall, is seeking to pump up its property’s community-building potential. The idea’s not as far-fetched as it might seem. The Majestic Theater is already packing ’em in on weekends, and businesses such as Ben & Jerry’s sweeten the stop-by appeal. And then there’s that big grassy area taking up all those valuable parking places. Property manager Richard Golder sees it as a perfect spot for outdoor fundraisers, concerts, a farmers’ market or other events that bring people together. But none of that can happen without some landscaping improvements. The “Make a Green Come True” contest is soliciting ideas for the green. Landscape design students and professionals who live or attend school in New York or New England can check http://www.willistonobserver.com for details. Entrants have until January to assemble their perspective drawings, planting plans and other documentation. Designs can’t exceed $75,000 to construct, complete and maintain. The best one wins $1000. m
PLANNING FOR DUMMIES You don’t have to know squat about landscape architecture, or come up with any fancy-pants plans or documents, to get in on Seven Days’ “Fix Williston” contest. All you have to do is describe, in no more than 100 words, what you’d like to see on the grass at Maple Tree Place.

CAPT. LIANNE TUOMEY SPEAKS TO STEP UP STUDENTS
WOMEN iN UNIFORM A unique Vermont program helps females join the force story
Cathy Resmer
Working in law enforcement isn’t just a job; it’s a calling. But answering the call is far from easy, especially for women. Paula Teague figured out she wanted to be a cop this fall, while working on a career-planning exercise with her teenage daughter. The fit, no-nonsense 34-year-old, who lives in Underhill, kept pushing her daughter toward policing. “I was really encouraging her to look at it further,” she recalls, “and I realized that it was probably because I was so interested.” But Teague didn’t know how to start pursuing a law-enforcement career. The jobs are definitely out there — police departments across Vermont list an abundance of openings. Some departments, like the one at the University of Vermont, are painfully short-staffed, their vacancies exacerbated by the deployment of officers overseas with the Vermont National Guard. Job postings for law-enforcement positions almost always include the phrase, “women encouraged to apply.” Still, for a woman with no prior experi-
images
ence in the field — Teague boards horses, and has waitressed and sold cars — the demanding application process and the male-dominated law-enforcement culture can be intimidating. So it’s worth noting that last week, Teague passed the entrance exam for the Criminal Justice Training Academy in Pittsford. She still has to find a police department to hire her and pay for her training before she can enter the 16-week academy, but right now, her chances of becoming a cop look pretty good — thanks in part to an innovative program called Step Up to Policing for Women. Teague might still be trying to sort out her options if she hadn’t seen an ad for Step Up in September. The nineweek course is run by the Northern New England Tradeswomen and funded through job-training grants from the Vermont Department of Labor. It allows aspiring female officers to meet and learn from police and corrections professionals, and helps prepare students mentally, physically and emotionally for the challenges they’ll face in the application process and on the job.
Matthew Thorsen
Teague was accepted to the program’s second session, which began October 12. She took the test on October 31. Teague claims Step Up is the reason she’s been able to go this far, this quickly. “This program has really clarified everything for me,” she says. “It really helps you with the process.” It’s a sentiment echoed by Step Up graduate Kim Conant, now a part-time officer in Shelburne. She used to work at Hertz Rent A Car. “If it hadn’t been for the class,” she says, “I would probably still be at Hertz.”
Why do women need their own special policing program? Because lawenforcement agencies across the country still receive far fewer applications from women than from men, and frustrated recruiters want that situation to change. Many women officers still say law enforcement is primarily a man’s world, and it pretty much is. According to the National Center for Women and Policing, in 2001 women accounted for just 12.7 percent of all officers in large
police departments, and 26.3 percent of corrections officers. In Vermont the number of women in corrections is slightly higher — just over 35 percent — but the proportion of women in policing is probably lower. No official statewide statistics are available, but nationally, women make up just 8 percent of the force in smaller departments. Of Vermont’s 309 state troopers, only 22, or 7 percent, are female. Chief Thomas Tremblay of the Burlington Police Department says hiring more women is definitely a priority for him. Women account for just 11 of the department’s 98 officers. “It’s important for the police department to be a reflection of the community it serves,” he says. And Tremblay points out that finding interested, qualified women is particularly important now. The chief says it’s been difficult to recruit anyone into policing for the past 10 years, and the shortages today are more acute because of the war. Six state troopers and more than 30 of the state’s 1200 corrections officers are deployed in Iraq and
SEVEN DAYS | november 09-16, 2005 | feature 29A Afghanistan, as are an unknown number of Vermont police officers; an officer from Wilmington was killed in Iraq in September. Tremblay believes there are women out there — such as Teague — who could fill the gaps and make good cops. He just hasn’t been able to reach them yet. Gary Margolis, head of Police Services at the University of Vermont, has been puzzling over the same problem. His 22-officer department, the sixth-largest in the state, is short five officers, and another is serving in Iraq. Just two of UVM’s officers are women. Two years ago, Margolis hired a marketing firm to help the school increase diversity on its force. He and the consultants searched “far and wide” for a program that would not only identify women interested in policing, but also would help them break into the field. They couldn’t find one anywhere, Margolis says.
they get visits from outside presenters. Step Up works with eight different Vermont policing agencies, all of which send officers to give talks on topics such as “An Overview of Rank & Structure” and “Role of Probation Officers.” The women also complete mock academy entrance exams, create and polish resumes, practice public speaking and interviewing skills and, perhaps most importantly, spend an hour and a half each day working out with a personal trainer at the Burlington YMCA. This last piece is key, since the physical training requirement is one of the biggest barriers to women who want to enter the field. On a recent Tuesday morning, the Step Up students were stretching and sweating in their quest to make the grade. Trainer Becky Tharp says they spend each day doing both cardio workouts and weight training on the Nautilus machines; requirements for the
one asks Tharp, who is eight months pregnant, when she’s due. When Tharp responds, most of her classmates nod or say they know how she feels; nine of the 10 students have kids. Many are single moms. After their workout, the women walk across the street to the Fletcher Free Library. They spend the rest of the day upstairs in the Pickering Room. Two tables have been pushed together to create a large workspace. Boxes of pens and pencils sit in the center, along with an academy test-prep book. Program coordinator Kristen Mullins sits at the head of the table. She has written out the day’s schedule on large white sheets of paper affixed to the wall. First on the agenda is an update from Teague, who took the academy exam the day earlier. She skipped the morning’s physical training session, but news that she’d passed had already circulated. Her class-
mates congratulate her vigorously when she shows up at the library, and listen intently as she relates her experience. As Teague talks, Mullins writes notes in blue marker on another sheet of paper on the wall, titled “Things We’re Learning.” Teague recommends, for example, that the women pack a lunch to eat after they complete the physical portion of the test. Under “hydrate prior to exam,” and “know to keep your own pace during run,” Mullins writes, “bring food.” Such tips might get passed between friends, but many of these women don’t know anyone else who’s been through the academy. Hearing a firsthand account from a peer bolsters their confidence and makes them feel less like outsiders. When Teague finishes, Mullins asks the women if they’ve been able to schedule ride-alongs. She encourages the women to spend time on the job with officers, to
see what their days are really like. Wooster, who had originally planned to pursue policing, reports on her experience shadowing “a buddy,” who’s a Field Supervisory Unit officer in the Department of Corrections. She accompanied him on his rounds in Burlington. They visited some of his parolees, checking to make sure they were following their restrictions. Wooster was impressed with the way her friend cheered on a guy who seemed to be doing well. “It was just amazing,” she says, “the role that he plays in people’s lives, and in the community. It was really good to see the impact he has.” She had a somewhat less positive impression of the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility, where her friend works. She reports being a little uncomfortable getting so close to the inmates, but her friend reminded her, “Nobody’s more than five seconds away from you,” she says.
Tuomey has been pushed down stairs, thrown through a plate glass window, shot at and had axes thrown at her. “If you don’t think you can ever shoot someone,” she suggests, “maybe you might want to reconsider going into this line of work.” The consultants then recommended that he approach Northern New England Tradeswomen. Since 1985, NNET has been running a Step Up preapprenticeship program for women in the building trades. Eighty-five percent of their graduates have found jobs. Margolis met with representatives from NNET in the spring of 2004. “Next thing you know, boom,” he says. “They came back a month and a half later and said they had funding.” The nonprofit accepted the challenge because it fits their mission of finding good-paying jobs for women in nontraditional fields, says NNET Executive Director Jayne Sheridan. “It’s hard in Vermont to find employment that pays a livable wage without a lot of training and education,” she notes. “Police and corrections departments can provide the training. You’ve just got to get in.”
So far, Step Up to Policing for Women has done a decent job of getting women in the door. The program enrolled 11 students last fall and 10 of them graduated. Of those, five are now sworn officers — four in corrections and one with the Shelburne Police Department. Others have found jobs at security firms. Step Up’s current class has 10 students, including Teague. They drive to Burlington, from as far as Barre and Enosburg, to attend classes from 9 to 4:30, Monday through Thursday. The Vermont Department of Labor pays their tuition, and some women get help with daycare and travel expenses from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation. Step Up assists women in a variety of ways. In addition to occasional field trips to a ropes course and the police academy,
under-30 applicants include being able to do 32 sit-ups and 15 pushups, and bench press 59 percent of their weight. The 30- to 39-yearold requirements are slightly less stringent. Two days a week, all the women practice running; regardless of age, they’re required to complete a mile and a half in about 15 minutes. On this morning, 27-year-old Mandy Wooster is completing a mock test. The academy exam is given every three weeks, and she hopes to take it November 21. A sturdy woman with a resolute gaze, Wooster lives in Fletcher with her husband and two daughters. She’s a Coast Guard vet; she enlisted at 17 and served for four years, which explains her Coast Guard T-shirt and athletic shorts. She had a job doing quality control at Husky, but was recently laid off. Wooster misses the pride she took in her military work, she says. “I want to get that back . . . And I want to be an outstanding role model for my girls.” This morning, she’s able to meet the academy’s flexibility requirement, but can’t quite reach the bench-press benchmark. “I was close,” she says. Meanwhile, three of her classmates are stretching on blue plastic mats outside the racquetball court, doing the push-up and sit-up “improvement plans,” which Tharp calls “grueling.” “I can do 20, 25 of the girly pushups,” boasts Step Up student Julia White, “but the other ones, not so many.” As Andrea Brett gets into the push-up position, she asks White what else they’re supposed to do. White reads from the paper describing the workout. “It says ‘pec routine until your arm has muscle failure,’” she reads. “So, you know when you fall on your face, you’re done.” At 10:15, the women drag their mats into the racquetball court for cool-down. As they stretch, some-

Overall, Wooster’s tour was “an eye-opener,” she reports. She’s now considering a job in corrections. It’s a popular conclusion — corrections officers spend only five weeks at the academy, a more manageable commitment for people with kids. Some of Wooster’s classmates and some Step Up graduates also consider it an entrée to a career in policing. When she finishes, Mullins reminds the women, “Don’t take a job in a correctional facility unless you’ve toured it.” It’s good advice. According to a May 2005 Department of Corrections study, turnover and job dissatisfaction in Vermont prisons is alarmingly high. The Step Up program is designed to encourage the women to seriously consider the sort of work they want, so that once they pass the academy exam, they don’t end up taking the first job they’re offered. “You should be asking, ‘What makes sense for my goals?’” Mullins says. Captain Lianne Tuomey, of the UVM police, offers similar advice when she speaks to the group later that afternoon. The hawk-nosed 24-year police veteran radiates confidence when she strides into the library in her uni-
opposite effect on Alyssa Graves. The 25-year-old single mom in the pink hoodie has wanted to be a cop since the third grade, when she saw the movie Feds. “It doesn’t scare me,” she says, after Tuomey’s presentation. “It’s exciting, actually.” She’s exactly the sort of woman Tuomey is trying to reach when she insists the journey to a policing career is difficult, but possible. When things get hard, she says, “you get up one more time, you push one more time . . . You are the next generation of law enforcement.”
Tuomey’s experience in law enforcement doesn’t necessarily translate to the rest of Vermont. She’s worked her entire career in the state’s largest city. Most of Vermont’s law-enforcement agencies are small and rural, and not all of them are as welcoming to women.
chief “pretended to masturbate in front of me and my [female] secretary and thought it was funny . . . He would expose his penis to us all the time. He would take off all his clothes, take off his underwear, roll them in a ball and throw them at your head while you were typing on your computer or talking on the phone.” Both of the accused officers and the town of Brandon denied Krupp’s allegations. The suit was settled out of court in 2003. Krupp received an undisclosed payment and was promoted to detective. All the officers in the department left shortly afterwards; a few have taken jobs at other police departments in Vermont. Krupp says she doesn’t regret becoming a cop and loves her job, but she wouldn’t recommend this career to other women. “It’s still considered a man’s job,” she says. “Unless you can toughen up and stand your ground, you’re going to get eaten up and spit out.”

form. When she retired from the Burlington Police Department in 1999 to join UVM, she was the most highly decorated and highest-ranking female officer in the state. In a presentation on policing as service to the community, Tuomey urges the women to find the right fit for them. “There is no cookie-cutter approach to being a police officer,” she says. She essentially advises the women not to try to be just like men. “Women bring to policing a different perspective that enhances all policing,” she says. “Don’t surrender that to fit in. You have to be really true to yourself.” Still, Tuomey warns that they have to prepare themselves for the worst. Tuomey has been pushed down stairs, thrown through a plate glass window, shot at and had axes thrown at her, she reports. “If you don’t think you can ever shoot someone,” she suggests, “maybe you might want to reconsider going into this line of work.” That admonition might give some people pause, but it has the

Sergeant Laurie Krupp, of the Brandon Police Department, says she’s been sexually harassed on the job. Now 43, she entered the police academy after graduating from high school. She worked for the Rutland County Sheriff’s Department for five years, and has been in Brandon — population nearly 4000 — for 16. She won’t be addressing the Step Up program, but is happy to share her thoughts on women in policing. Krupp has always been the only woman officer in her department, and that hasn’t been a good thing, she says. In 2002, she sued the Brandon Police Department, two fellow officers and the town of Brandon over nine counts of “inappropriate sexual behavior.” In a 2004 interview with Seven Days, Krupp claimed that her
By contrast, the Hinesburg Community Police Department is more female-friendly. The town of 5000 has seven police officers, three of them women. That’s 42 percent, likely the highest in the state. Chief Chris Morrell personally invited the first woman officer, Barbara Brisson, to join the force shortly after he arrived 10 years ago. Brisson, 44, started her career as a part-time animal-control officer for Hinesburg and the surrounding towns. Now she divides her work for the department between being an administrative assistant and serving as a K-9 cop, patrolling the back roads with her German Shepherd, “Tiger.” All the women on Hinesburg’s force are part-time officers.

Everyone seems to agree that bringing more women into the field is what changes the culture, and Burlington Police Chief Tremblay is optimistic that the Step Up program will help him do that. He didn’t receive any applications from the program last year, but he’s hopeful they’ll get someone this time around. Paula Teague is applying to Burlington, though, like a good Step Up student, she’s applying elsewhere, as well. “From my perspective, it’s great,� Tremblay says of Step Up. “Other than to just say we want to hire more women, it’s a program where we can actually make a difference. I absolutely would like to see it continue.� But the program’s future is by no means secure. The grant NNET used to fund Step Up to Policing is meant to help establish job-training ventures, not to sustain them. Step Up to Policing is, in fact, a twoyear pilot program. For a third class to convene next fall, NNET will have to find another source of funding. “We’re committed to offering it again, as are our police partners,� says NNET Director Jayne Sheridan. “There’s a really good chance it’s going to happen again.� The best argument for its continuation comes from Paula Teague, who, if all goes well, will be entering the police academy in January. “I never would have figured a month and a half ago,� she says, “that I would be here.� m

In the current production at Northern Stage, a talented two-man cast creates an atmosphere layered with tension and emotion as a father and his sons grapple with moral dilemmas of cloning. The one-act play unfolds as a series of conversations between Salter, the father, and three incarnations of his son Bernard. All
the scenes take place in the father’s living room. To denote scene changes, the lights dim and background sounds babble while the actor playing the sons steps briefly offstage to change costume. A conventional plot summary would spoil the show for anyone planning to go; Churchill reveals her storyline in shocking bits and bursts, and their impact builds over the course of the play. Around these plot points ricochets a dizzying set of Big Questions about parenting, individuality and identity. The central issue is the age-old debate about nature versus nurture. What shapes who we are — our genes or our environment? The real story of how and why the sons came to be emerges slowly. In order to cast himself in the most favorable light to each son, Salter constructs sandcastles of lies around tiny grains of truth. He admits to commissioning one clone to replace a son he lost — although his definition of “loss” differs from the dictionary’s — and has raised the second Bernard lovingly. Near the beginning of the play, this son learns that he is a clone, and both he and Salter discover that the doctor apparently made “a number” of other copies. Salter tries to deflect his responsibility and redirect

SEVEN DAYS | november 09-16, 2005 | feature 33A his son’s anger towards the “mad scientist,� who is conveniently dead. In what feels like a very American twist, Salter dangles the possibility of cashing in on a big lawsuit, perhaps against the hospital. The clones “have been stolen from you and you should get your rights,� the father goads his son. “They’ve damaged your uniqueness, weakened your identity . . . how dare they?� Salter is clearly a deeply flawed dad, and his wish for a second chance at parenting is at the heart of the story. By cloning Bernard, Salter started over with a clean slate, fulfilling a dark fantasy of many exasperated parents. Although the three versions of his offspring we meet are genetically identical, their personalities diverge wildly. On the nature-versus-nurture debate, Churchill comes down firmly on the side of nurture. How the sons have been raised determines who they are — their genetic code is virtually meaningless. Playing all the sons, Patrick Jones needn’t have bothered changing shirts between scenes — each clone had a distinctive way of talking, moving and interacting with Salter. Jones relished the differences without hamming them up. With bright and forgiving eyes, he made it clear that the Bernard who was raised by Salter was eager to believe his dad’s story, even as it took disturbing turns. He played another clone as a feckless geek, tone-deaf to Salter’s desperate attempts to draw him out. The most magnetic Bernard was the menacing one, and Jones conveyed the character with con-
himself and his sons. Churchill’s writing is clipped and staccato, consisting largely of interrupted thoughts and incomplete sentences. On one level this is naturalistic — none of us actually speaks in the flowing iambs of a Shakespearean soliloquy. But it means the audience must work to fill in the blanks, and the dialogue between Jones and Davidson passed at a consistently snappy pace that sometimes made it hard to process the content. It also meant the play was over in just an hour. Director Peter Hackett might have varied the pacing at certain points, and a few breathing spaces would have helped. Hackett’s decision to present A Number in the round, with the audience seated on all four sides, also created some challenges. The bare-bones living room, where all the action took place, was set on a square of pale hardwood floor laid over the black stage. Two armchairs were placed at opposite corners, each flanked by a small side table. Much of the dialogue took place with one actor seated in a chair, and even when both actors were standing, the director had blocked a lot of their movement along the diagonals of the square. This meant that some audience members spent considerable time looking at the back of an actor’s head. Another questionable choice was the lower-middle-class, faux Victorian style of scenic designer Robert F. Wolin’s lean set. Because the clones are already adults at the time of the play — Jones makes the sons twentysomething; Churchill specifies an age
The central issue is the age-old debate about nature versus nurture. What shapes who we are — our genes or our environment? vincing details: He lowered his voice and flattened his affect; he thrust his fists into his pants pockets while stalking the stage; he folded a gum wrapper methodically while sprawled territorially across an armchair. His eyes smoldered with resentment. As Salter, Richard Davidson also had to play multiple characters even though he technically had just one role. The father is an entirely different person to each of the sons: beloved by one, despised by another and unknown to a third. Davidson manifested the distinct dads in his mannerisms. With the adored son, he kept close physical proximity, speaking to Bernard intimately while making direct eye contact, even when Salter was unraveling an uncomfortable lie. For the angry son, Davidson’s body language was standoffish: eyes cast aside, arms defiantly crossed. Although details of his behavior changed, Davidson also maintained consistent threads to Salter’s character: how this king of rationalization uses flattery and deception to justify his actions to
range of 35 to 40 — A Number must be taking place well into the future. While Jetsons-style sets and costumes might distract from the play’s central concerns, the choice of a backward-looking art design is curious. Nonetheless, on balance Churchill’s play is well served by Northern Stage’s production, and especially by the performances of Jones and Davidson. And despite its short length, A Number leaves you with a long evening of issues to discuss over a post-show latte. We may not be cloning humans just yet, but Ted Williams’ head sits in a cryo-freezer — to create a Red Sox superslugger for the 2047 World Series? A Maryland fertility doctor “economized� on artificial insemination supplies and knocked up dozens of patients with his own seed — Will two half-siblings unknowingly meet and mate? These issues are certainly more intriguing than the old who-to-toss-from-the-lifeboat exercises in an eighth-grade ethics class. Churchill contributes cunningly to the debate. m

On Monday, November 14, aspiring comedians will have the chance to crack wise in an open mike-style tryout. According to Lee Seelig of Higher Ground, “Anyone with any desire to attempt standup comedy should not be afraid to audition — come one, come all!” Actually there are several reasons to be nervous — in addition the audience and judges, there will be a pro comedian in the house. The ubiquitous Rusty DeWees, who was profiled in last week’s issue of Seven Days, is set to host the auditions. Hope folks aren’t too intimiRUSTY DEWEES dated to perform in front of The Logger.

Things have certainly changed since my day. The main concern back in the ’90s was making enough gas money to get back from a gig. Maybe a bag of potato chips, on a good night. The event will be followed by a Q&A session during which attendees can ask questions pertinent to their own musical adventures. The workshop starts at 6 p.m., and tickets are $25. Better get on it, though: Only 50 spots are available.

Rounding out the set will be performances of works by avantgarde masterminds Steve Reich, Arthur Krieger and Mario Davidovsky. Reich’s famous composition “New York Counterpoint” will feature Klimowski performing alongside 10 previously recorded loops of himself. Who does Klimowski expect to attract to these cutting-edge performances? “I’ve heard that the younger generation really loves Steve Reich and electronic stuff, so I’m hoping some of those folks will come.” Each performance features a pre-concert talk with some of the composers, which takes place at 7:15 p.m. Call 849-6900 or point your browser to http://www.vcme.org for more info.

reviewthis PAUL WEBB & PATTI CASEY, STONE BOAT
MAGIC CITY, ALIVE AT NECTAR’S
(Self-released, CD)
(GrainBin Music, CD) Talented Burlington composer Paul Webb’s new recording Stone Boat once again features Vermont vocalist Patti Casey, whose luxurious pipes were a highlight of his 2001 release, Green Mountain Spring. In addition to Casey, Webb’s latest boasts guest appearances from some of the area’s most accomplished performers, including Paul Asbell, Dave Grippo and Kip Meaker. Stone Boat is a mood piece with an earnest vibe and breezy atmosphere, a bit like Van Morrison’s classic Astral Weeks. The disc’s 13 cuts are tied together by Webb’s dexterous piano playing and Casey’s lush vocals. Overall, the work feels like a pleasant walk in the woods on a crisp fall evening. Although Casey provides the album’s sole voice, she possesses enough versatility to invest each melody with unique character. Unfortunately, her vocals are sometimes buried in the mix, making it difficult to discern the lyrics. Guest guitarist Colin McCaffrey’s solo on “Charlotte Street” bears similarities to Dickey Betts’ work on the Allman Brothers classic, “Jessica.” Well-known axemen Meaker and Asbell contribute to several tracks; each one of their licks helps make Stone Boat a top-notch musical experience. “By the River” — the sole rockin’ number on the CD — offers a brief respite from the smooth sound that Webb and co-producer/engineer/synth player Peter Engisch have crafted. With its bluesy feel, the song stands out amongst the record’s mellower numbers. The disc’s closing track, “Love Is a Simple Thing,” is a waltz co-written by Carol Abair, another fine Vermont composer. On it, Casey’s vocals pleasantly intertwine with Dave Grippo’s sax and Webb’s shimmering piano work. In many ways, Stone Boat ends much as it began — with luxuriant instrumentation and a graceful melody. In his more than 10 years of composing and performing, Webb has developed a signature sound, and Stone Boat provides a fine example. A CD release party featuring Casey and several guests takes place this Thursday, November 10, at the FlynnSpace in Burlington.

Central Vermont’s “chamber jazz” group, Magic City, don’t play many gigs. When they do grace the stage, however, the results are spellbinding. Their latest offering, Alive at Nectar’s, was recorded at that venue last summer. Each of the disc’s nine cuts demonstrates the band’s remarkable musical interplay and enchanting dynamic. Magic City is the brainchild of guitarist/composer Michael Chorney and dusky-voiced chanteuse Miriam Bernardo. Fleshed out by drummer Geza Carr, bassist Robinson Morse, trombonist Andrew Moroz and viola player Caleb Elder, the sextet waltzes through harmonically rich material, from Sun Ra to Duke Ellington, with relaxed precision. On opener “Satellites Are Spinning,” Bernardo coos Ra’s metaphysical lyrics like an interstellar flight attendant prepping the audience for takeoff. “Odwalla,” a composition by Roscoe Mitchell, features an interlocking guitar and bass figure that come together in a musical latticework upon which Elder scrawls an elegantly frenetic viola solo. “I’ll Wait for You” is one of the album’s several highlights. Bernardo’s melody drifts lazily over Moroz’s muted trombone, as Carr’s gentle percussion deftly frames each musical movement. The result is like a childhood fever dream, or at least a pleasant head rush. Chorney’s playing is gracious and inventive throughout, providing powerful harmonic and rhythmic counterpoints. “Carlotta’s Gallop/Cimitaro” by Nino Rota allows the guitarist to indulge his Western-noir fantasies: the first half is an up-tempo shuffle, the second a carnal ballad that could be the background music for an underwater striptease. “Love in Outer Space,” another Sun Ra tune, sounds better here than on the band’s debut The June Book. I suspect Bernardo has developed a greater rapport with its transcendental lyric; she certainly sounds like she’s picking up good vibrations. The band turns in a fabulous version of “Alla Uya,” a tune by African guitar master Ali Farka Toure. Here, Chorney’s unconventional guitar sound is used to its greatest effect, with gamelan-like tones ringing in cyclic repetition. The song is voluptuous voodoo, augmented by Carr’s delicate tom work and Morse’s buoyant bass figure.

N EXHIBIT Neil Callahan: “East Selma, Alabama: Forgotten America,” photographs. Allen House Art Gallery, UVM, Burlington. Through November 27.
ARTWORK “Like mother,like daughter, in an East Selma yard,” by Neil Callahan
PHOTO Marc Awodey
eil Callahan’s photographic exhibition “East Selma, Alabama: Forgotten America” is timely for at least two reasons. Hurricane Katrina focused renewed attention on race-based economic and class divisions in New Orleans and, by association, the rest of the United States. And in late October, Rosa Parks, “the mother of the civil-rights movement,” passed away. While her body lay in state at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, flags all across the country were lowered to half-mast. South Burlington photographer Callahan presents nearly 20 blackand-white images of African-American families whose lives have likely changed very little since Parks rejected the notion of separate but equal in Montgomery nearly 50 years ago. Nevertheless, and despite living in one of the poorest corners of America, Callahan’s people are generally vibrant and proud. His photographs are also beautifully composed, which makes for a photography show that’s formally strong as well as documentarily engaging. Captions, rather than titles, appear with the images. “Like mother like daughter, in an East Selma yard” describes a rotund mother with her young and already chubby daughter beside her. Positioned at the right edge of the composition, both wear the same warm smile as they look at the camera. Other captions and images are
more socially charged. One photo captures a diapered baby standing in a doorway as his mother is about to leave for work. The caption reads, “CJ and his mom before she heads to work
Dallas County lake 10 miles south of Selma, on a steamy summer afternoon. Cost to fish $2.” Huh? Such flaws aside, it’s clear that Callahan works in the best tradition of
Callahan works in the best tradition of American documentary photographers, by presenting to the greater public images of a forgotten socioeconomic class. at Burger King, where she’ll make $5.25 per hour. Also living there: CJ’s brother and uncle.” Do brother and uncle also work for minimum wage, or at all? Is it a big house or a cramped apartment? The additional information manipulates viewers to read more into the photo than may be there. In other cases, the explanation obfuscates the image. A photo of two girls sitting on a porch is accompanied by this explanation: “Twins on the stoop of a house in East Selma. Shortly before this photo was taken, the house was condemned as uninhabitable.” If Callahan intended to expose the fact that children in East Selma live in substandard housing, a description such as “twins on the porch of their condemned house” would have been more edifying. Ditto a lovely scene of a boy lakefishing from a dock. Its caption reads, “Dequantye casting for catfish at the
American documentary photographers, by presenting to the greater public images of a forgotten socioeconomic class. Yet he’s not an ordinary Life magazine sort of photographer who snaps a few shots and moves on. Callahan is actively involved in bettering the world he describes in this exhibit. He’s an active volunteer and board member of the Selma Youth Development Center, and an organizer of the Selma Defiant Run HalfMarathon to be held on March 18, 2006 — 40 years to the month since Selma played a pivotal role in advancing the civil-rights movement. It’s a 13-mile run and obstacle course in which black-and-white pairs of runners will be chained to each other — like Sydney Poitier and Tony Curtis were in the 1958 film The Defiant Ones. Through his art and activism, Callahan seems to be working to have all citizens — of every race — reach the finish line together. m

Anita Michele is presenting paintings; Kelly Bowden has sculpture and installations fashioned from organic materials; and Heather Velbrin is showing monoprints — an untitled example is pictured here. Velbrin’s artist statement notes that she was influenced by visions from a near-death experience in childhood, but her fellow students seem visionary, too.

Mild Abandon
“I’m startin’ to wonder if burnin’ out for twenty-three years isn’t the same damn thing as fadin’ away.”
the straight dope
by CECIL ADAMS
illustration: slug signorino
all worthwhile human knowledge
Dear Cecil, I’m getting mixed signals on a story about the great Native American leader Geronimo. According to various references, his bones were stolen from his grave in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where he was a prisoner until his death. Some accounts claim they now reside in the famous Tomb at Yale’s Skull and Bones Society. One version of the story has the president’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, being the man who took them. Any definitive answer on this? Ben Fenwick, Oklahoma City This story has everything — famous names, a secret society, a generous helping of the macabre. What it doesn’t have a lot of is facts. Here’s one thing we can say for sure: that the young whippersnappers at Skull and Bones, a supposedlybut-not-really supersecret undergraduate society at Yale, thought for years that they had Geronimo’s bones in their clubhouse, the Tomb. On the far-from-certain list is this: that they ever did. The legendary Apache warrior Geronimo died a captive of the U.S. Army at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in 1909 and was buried there in an Apache cemetery. As far as anybody knew that’s where the body stayed until the 1980s, when Ned Anderson, a leader of the San Carlos Apache, agitated to have Geronimo’s remains returned to his native Arizona. In the wake of the publicity Anderson’s group got an unexpected letter. The writer, claiming to be a member of Skull and Bones, said Geronimo’s bones had been stolen by several S&B alumni during a late-night grave robbery in 1918, apparently while the men were serving as army officers at Fort Sill. The bones supposedly had been on private display at the Tomb ever since. The letter writer subsequently delivered a photo showing a display case with a skull in it and a picture of Geronimo nearby, plus a copy of a purported internal S&B history
telling of the 1918 raid. (“Crooks” — exploits in which members steal treasures from nonmembers, or “barbarians” — are a hallowed S&B tradition.) According to the history, one of the thieves was Prescott Bush, father of U.S. president number 41 and grandfather of number 43. The outraged Apache traveled to New York to meet with S&B representatives and demand that Geronimo’s S&B be returned. In one account of the meetings the S&B people admit, “We have a skull that we call Geronimo.” Alexandra Robbins, in Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power (2002), says S&B offered to give the Apache the abovementioned display case and a skull. But they also said they’d had the skull examined and found it wasn’t Geronimo’s but rather that of a 10-yearold boy. Suspicious, the Apache refused the offer, and there’s been no progress to speak of since. The story still surfaces occasionally, playing into rants about the tyrannical Bush family, S&B as an arm of the Illuminati, callous treatment of Native Americans, and so on. But here’s the thing: There’s no good reason to believe Geronimo’s remains ever left Oklahoma, and plenty of reasons to think they didn’t. One obvious problem is the description of the theft in the S&B history: “The ring of pick on stone and thud of earth on earth alone disturbs the peace of the prairie. An axe pried open the iron door of the tomb, and Pat [short for ‘patriarch,’ the honorific used among S&B alums] Bush entered and started to dig . . . At the exact bottom of the small round hole, Pat James dug deep and pried out the trophy itself . . . We quickly closed the grave, shut the door and sped home.” What a hoot, eh? Trouble is, the description bears no relationship to the actual burial place, which wasn’t a mausoleum with a door, as the account suggests, but rather a conventional grave in the ground. An S&B representative has described the “crook” account as a hoax, and no less than celebrity biographer Kitty Kelley, in The Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty (2004), writes that the whole thing was a tall tale cooked up by Prescott Bush and friends that made its way into S&B lore. OK, so Kelley isn’t a sterling source, but most accounts agree that stories of Geronimo’s bones having been moved were circulating before 1918 — put in play, perhaps, by the local Apache in hopes of discouraging thieves. (Today the grave is covered by a concrete slab and marked with a pyramid of stones, but these were added after 1918.) A Fort Sill spokesman tells me, “There is no evidence to indicate the bones are anywhere but in the grave site.” One never knows, of course. Conceivably if the various Apache factions got together and demanded that the grave be exhumed, the feds would cave and we could settle the matter once and for all. As it stands, I’m betting what’s left of Geronimo is still at Fort Sill. CECIL ADAMS

BY RICK KISONAK
PREVIEWS
Good Night, and Good Luck HHHH
L GOOD NEWS Clooney’s latest pays homage to Murrow and the high standards he set for American journalism.
ife isn’t fair. Or balanced, for that matter. If you doubt this for a moment, consider the case of George Clooney. Providence blessed him first by arranging his birth into a family with top-of-the-line show-business connections (his aunt was the popular singer Rosemary Clooney and his father was a prominent newscaster). Next, it gifted him with the good looks and sense of style that would make him a 21st-century Cary Grant. That wasn’t enough, though. It also threw in charisma and the ability to act. If the divine being had stopped there, it could be said without risk of exaggeration that Clooney had been dealt a preposterously good hand. But the divine being didn’t stop there. A talent for writing motion pictures, and directing them with intelligence and elegance was tossed in for good measure. So much for all men being created equal. The rest of us should be grateful, I suppose, that Clooney has elected to use his powers for good. He could have coasted through the year pocketing multimillion-dollar paychecks for an Ocean’s Thirteen, maybe even a Fourteen, but instead has co-written and directed the year’s most necessary film. Good Night, and Good Luck is at once an homage to legendary CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow and an indictment of the medium that falls increasingly short of the high standards he set. Along with everything else, it seems, the gods bestowed upon George Clooney impeccable timing. It’s difficult to imagine a moment in American history when the movie’s themes might have possessed greater resonance. The questions raised by the press today concerning manipulation of pre-war intelligence are questions it was remiss in failing to raise and investigate more rigorously two years and 2000 soldiers ago. The tactics currently employed by a bullying FCC are as capricious and constitutionally suspect as any employed by the Commie-chasing senator Joe McCarthy, and yet the very medium whose freedom of speech the commission threaten remains, for the most part, shamefully mute on the subject. Who other than Howard Stern has stood up and spoken out? Serious television journalism has been back-burnered by corporations more interested in the millions they can make off escapist entertainment. All these issues impacting electronic broadcasting in our time have their parallel in Murrow’s, and
Clooney has done a masterful job making the television’s past relevant to its present. David Strathairn evokes Murrow with marvelous economy and precision. Clooney, as producer Fred Friendly, reportedly packed on 30 extra pounds for the role. Most of the movie takes place in studios and on sets recreated in meticulous detail. Clooney has shot it in silky black and white, a touch that adds to the picture’s historically authentic feel. The script focuses on a pivotal chapter in the pioneering broadcaster’s long radio and television career — the period in the early ’50s when McCarthy had grown dangerously powerful and reckless, and Murrow, virtually alone among journalists, decided to take him on. Murrow devotes a series of shows to exposing the Wisconsin senator and his tactics. In the process, he draws fire upon himself and costs his company a number of sponsors, but never wavers in his resolve to tell viewers the full truth about McCarthy and his misuse of power. Rather than casting an actor to play McCarthy, Clooney cleverly allows the senator to play himself. One moment, we watch Strathairn as Murrow on the tube. The next, we see the senator answering back on the tube, sweating, defending himself, fabricating his face off. It’s a fascinating exercise that makes Strathairn seem more like the real Murrow and McCarthy just like the real maniac he was. There’s no chance some Oscar-hungry actor has hammed it up; this is the real deal. The film works on too many levels to count. Most notably, perhaps, it succeeds as a political potboiler in the tradition of All the President’s Men. Not for a second does its known outcome make watching the story unfold less gripping. The movie succeeds equally as a celebration of ideas, principles, courage and intelligence. When was the last time you saw a movie that took the time to appreciate the elegance of a character’s writing? And a newsman’s, at that? Good Night, and Good Luck should be required viewing in every journalism class in this country. It would be nice to think that the medium might grow a spine again at some point in the future. For anyone looking for signs of Murrow-style backbone in today’s media, I have two words: Good luck. m

category that includes 286 Vermonters. Instead, an internal memo leaked to the media last week outlines a plan to refuse jobs to anyone with medical problems. The High Cost DVD is sold via the Internet to activist groups and for relevant house parties, the same grassroots marketing approach Greenwald used for previous docs he produced or directed: Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election, Uncovered: The Iraq War, Unconstitutional (about civil liberties after 9/11), and Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism. “These films are designed to be tools,” Greenwald says. “People use them to organize, to change minds.” When not muckraking, he turns out movies for the big and little screen. Greenwald has been responsible for more than 60 productions over the years, including Sweet Hearts Dance. Shot in Vermont, the 1988 romantic comedy-drama features Susan Sarandon, Don Johnson and Bernie Sanders, then mayor of Burlington. The U.S. Congressman, whose considerable star power was tapped once again for Outfoxed, is impressed with Greenwald’s skills. “Robert is a very good friend of mine,” Sanders says. “He’s a pioneer in focusing on the most important issues and developing a distribution system that moves so quickly.” It’s a mutual admiration society.
“Bernie has been a leader in the fight for economic justice,” suggests Greenwald, who’s nonetheless proud that “all political persuasions” are represented in The High Cost. He and his team of volunteers nailed down whistle-blowers, sought out ordinary people and visited a Chinese sweatshop that supplies WalMart. “We wanted to tell human stories,” Greenwald notes. “But I was foolishly naïve. I had no idea how difficult it would be to find people willing to go on the record.” The research was eye-opening. “I had no sense of the extent to which Wal-Mart destroys families and communities,” explains Greenwald, a Manhattan native who says his psychologist parents “gave me a strong sense of right and wrong.” He majored in history at Antioch College and the New School for Social Research before immersing himself in the arts. “I started out offoff-off Broadway in a backstage capacity, then was elevated to directing plays in the mid-1960s,” Greenwald says. After relocating to Los Angeles for a theatrical gig, he was bitten by the film bug. “I started a production com-
pany. Anybody can call himself a producer out here,” acknowledges Greenwald. His cinematic credits began accumulating in 1975. To date, he has 25 Emmy nominations and a Peabody Award. Greenwald is most passionate about his topical projects. “The downside is, I’m totally exhausted. It’s a wild ride to make these films and fundraise,” he says, adding that his budget for The High Cost is $1.8 million. “I take no salary, so when the attacks come, it’s not about paying my bills.” And the attacks have been plentiful, even before the release of his WalMart epic. In August, Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly compared Greenwald — who is Jewish — to Islamic suicide bombers and fans of Adolph Hitler. Such nastiness only fuels Greenwald’s zeal to foment social change. “Liberal ideas are in my family genes,” he says. “A commitment to things above and beyond your own life is simply part of who we are.” 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.
Workaholics don’t think of the first day of the week as MONDAY. Veronica Lake is the real flower in the The DAHLIA. Brianna’s pumpkin earned a RIBBON and won the contest. According to the BOOK, the asking price on that rusty Jag was a joke. Dick sometimes felt outclassed by his BLOOD wife. Conan the Conservative would buy only CHIP stocks. The MAN GROUP walk a fine line between pop and avant-garde. Give those gabby teens a cell and they’ll talk a STREAK. At David’s behest, Isabella nearly got naked in VELVET. Peter dressed up as the creature from the LAGOON. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: TWO MINUS ONE. 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 only time filmmaker Robert Greenwald ever shopped at what is now the planet’s largest chain store, he bought a basketball. The purchase, about two decades ago, serves as a fitting metaphor for the subject of his latest documentary, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price. “That was a really lousy ball,” he points out, during a telephone interview from California. “It wouldn’t hold the air.” The big-box retailer, with headquarters in Arkansas and 5900 outlets worldwide, reported $285.2 billion in sales last year. Greenwald’s 95-minute exposé screens at more than a dozen Vermont sites beginning November 13. It contends that this success comes at the expense of an oppressed workforce and devastated downtowns. “They burn and pillage,” says Greenwald, 60. “It’s a question of how much power we allow corporations to have.” Wal-Mart CEO H. Lee Scott, Jr. earns $28 million a year, or 897 times the average paycheck for his 1.6 million employees. About $4 million a day is spent to defend the company’s reputation with ubiquitous TV ads in which “just plain folks” gush about how much they love their master. Greenwald has recommended a more effective way to improve WalMart’s image: Spending that money on health care for the 53 percent of workers who are not covered and often dependent on Medicaid — a

A Mighty Fortress Indeed This morning I went to church! I was invited to do a book signing at a big LGBT church in Dallas, the Cathedral of Hope. Frankly, as a godless heathen recovering Catholic crypto-Buddhist, I was a little apprehensive. But boy, did I get my blue state socks blown off. First of all, I haven’t seen such a huge, diverse crowd of gay people all in one place since…well, since the Halloween parade the night before. But here they were all sober and fully clothed. This place is amazing. It’s a buzzing hive of activity...Four hundred at the early service, six hundred at the later one. Plus they have a very politicized, progressive mission. As it says in their bulletin, “Jesus was the ultimate liberal.” ... I stayed for the beginning of the second service. And when the processional began, with people in robes and the organ booming and the stained glass and everyone singing “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” I was ready to crawl to the altar.

The pastor was very moving. She talked about the church as a refuge from the busy activity of our daily lives, and from our inevitable suffering, and I almost wept. I think the guy next to me DID weep. At the end of the Lord’s Prayer, he definitely gave his boyfriend a loud kiss... Who knew that all this stuff was going on? I have to get out more.

GETTING THE AX Through his crème de la scene group The Bluesbreakers, John Mayall has mentored dozens of musicians and influenced the development of both blues and rock ’n’ roll. Over the past 40 years, the guitarist helped launch the careers of Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac founders Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green and John McVie, and Jack Bruce of Cream and Blind Faith, among others. Now 72, the “Godfather of British Blues” shows no signs of slowing down. Mayall headlines a show including guitar great Robben Ford and acoustic blues composer and guitarist Eric Bibb — godson of the late, great singing star Paul Robeson. Any one of these performers would be a big deal, but all three together create a guitar-driven triumvirate of cool. Before the show, catch Vermont bluesman and guitarist Paul Asbell’s performance-peppered intro to the genre.

scene@CLOTH DIAPER WORKSHOP PEACE & JUSTICE CENTER, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 10:30 A.M. The average baby goes through 7000 diaper changes. As a single male, I’ve only changed one diaper in my life . . . and it was messy. So I was apprehensive as I descended the stairs to the Peace & Justice Center for Saturday’s cloth diaper workshop. Who else would be there? Expectant parents fresh from birthing class? Experienced moms and dads eager to debate cloth versus disposable and to divulge their worst diaper experiences? Mostly, though, I worried that there might be a diaper actually in need of a change. As it turned out, attendance was intimate: just me, one single mom, a lot of diapers, and “Diaper Bear,” which, according to Kathleen Landry of Vermont Diaper Company, never fusses and never dirties diapers. That made me feel better. Friendly On-site Computer Support Landry has held four similar workshops in and around Montpelier, where more Friendly On-site Computer Support than 80 people attended. This was her first Burlington workshop. She was surprised, but undeterred by the turnout. “One has to have a sense of humor when one is in the diaper business,” she said. “Besides, I’m not just in the diaper business; I also carry menstrual products.” Then she dove right in, explaining why cloth is better for babies and the environment, and giving cloth diaper how-to. “You do not have to hand-scrub your Paperweight? cloth diapers in the toilet,” she said. “That would be gross!” I agreed. And so far, I hadn’t even had to touch a diaper. But my luck soon ran out. Landry began handing out cotton diaper products. They looked just like regular diapers, with snaps or Velcro in front and elastic holes for a baby’s legs. I imagined what they would look like after a couple helpings of Gerber’s Sweet Potatoes and Turkey dinner. Finally, Landry showed her wool diaper covers. “Wool is anti-microbial,” she said, “so it won’t give your baby a rash or smell.” To illustrate the point, she held a cover to her nose and inhaled deeply. “See?” she said, handing the cover to me. I took it and studied it. It was soft and seemed clean. I examined closely, until Friendly On-site Computer Support she finally looked away. Then I immediately returned it to the table. I think I’ll Friendly On-site Computer Support 2x1-081005 8/5/05 2:52 PM kids Page 1 own.

ROAMIN’ HOLIDAY
Even if you’re not into frat parties, there’s something inherently funny about toga-clad bumblers — especially when they’re singing. Lyric Theatre gets laurels for going Latin with Stephen Sondheim’s musical farce A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. In it, a Roman slave tries to fix up his master’s son with an off-limits courtesan in exchange for his freedom. All hell breaks loose when the courtesan’s husband-to-be shows up to claim his mail-order bride, prompting the protagonist to improvise on-the-fly script changes. Co-written by an author of the long-running TV show “M*A*S*H*,” the play combines bits of 2000year-old comedies by the Roman playwright Plautus with the energetic run-arounds of classic vaudeville. Expect cross-dressing, magic potions and clowns par excellence.
‘A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM’ Thursday through Sunday, November 10-13, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, various times. $16-22. Info, 863-5966. http://www.lyrictheatrevt.org

JUST DESSERTS
Truffle hunters usually seek forest ’shrooms, but this weekend may find them taste-testing creamy chocolate nuggets instead. Bakers and candy-makers compete for top honors in an all-chocolate cook-off to benefit St. John’s Episcopal Church in Randolph. Categories of cocoa confection include cakes, pies, cookies, pastry, sweetmeats, special diet items and decorative finesse. Anyone can submit an entry, even if it’s doctored from-the-box brownies. After judges decide the official results, a public tasting offers sweet stuff for others’ opinions. Organizer Jane Eubanks hopes the first-time flavor fest becomes a yearly community event celebrating mocha mojo. Ballot-box stuffing is encouraged — votes for the public-tasting award are for sale. As organizer Eubanks gleefully notes, “We’re holding an openly crooked election.” Sweet deal.
ST. JOHN’S CHOCOLATE CHALLENGE Sunday, November 13, Chandler Music Hall, Randolph, official dessert entry judging noon - 2:30 p.m., $8 per entry. Public tasting and voting, 2:30-6 p.m. $10 admission, and votes are 5 for $2. Info, 234-9671. http://www.chandlermusichall.org

STATE OF MIND
Recent Rovian events notwithstanding, governmental integrity need not be an oxymoron. Jaded Vermonters have only to look to George Aiken for proof. Born in Dummerston in 1892, the mid-20th-century politician was at various times a town representative, speaker of the Vermont House and governor. He also spent 34 years as a U.S. senator. Known for his common-sense approach to politics, he earned a national name as a progressive Republican unafraid of bucking the party line. A documentary by historical filmmaker Rick Moulton celebrates the 30th anniversary of UVM’s Aiken Lecture series. The film chronicles Aiken’s 43-year political career, starting with his life as a Putney flower farmer and grassroots rep.

SEVEN DAYS
free will astrology
L RE A
NOVEMBER 10-16
ARIES (March 21-April 19): I don’t think you’ll become the equivalent of a king or queen in the coming weeks, but you could be instrumental in determining who becomes a king or queen. And that would ultimately be fun for you. Likewise, I doubt that you yourself will be the beneficiary of a windfall or a stroke of uncanny luck, but there’s a chance that someone close to you will, and his or her good fortune will rub off on you. Are you sufficiently confident in your own worth to let an ally bask in the glory, even though you’ve played a part in creating that glory? If you are, your rewards will be substantial.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): Ready for a sweet revolution? At the very moment when the polarities are at the extremity of their opposition, they will mutate into a state of dynamic unity. The struggle between the light and dark will dissolve in the face of a rejuvenating catharsis, becoming more like a collaboration. There’ll be a breathtaking cessation of the conflict between logic and intuition, civilization and nature, and masculine and feminine. The truce will not only be fascinating; it will also spawn a synergistic brainchild that has enormous healing potential. The end of strife has rarely had such great potential for generating high adventure.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): We refer to the time between the 5th and 11th centuries as the Dark Ages, but in reality the chaotic, backward conditions were a localized phenomenon confined to Western Europe. Meanwhile, civilizations were flourishing in many other places, including China, the Byzantine Empire, central Africa and the Mayan and Arab worlds. In a similar way, Gemini, parts of your life may now be going through a Dark Age even as other parts are thriving. I beg you not to put undue emphasis on what’s not working.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Bob Johnston is the music producer who worked with Bob Dylan on some of his brilliant breakthrough albums of the 1960s. “I believe in giving credit

but I’d like to invoke its original sense in order to provide a preview of what’s ahead for you. I believe you’re about to benefit from a lucky fluke or two. While looking for a certain treasure or revelation, you’ll find a different one.
you got to the bottom of a stuffy old mystery and ripped away the veils that were hiding a crippled old truth. Now you’re finally primed to notice an open secret that has been right in front of you for quite some time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): On
(July 23-Aug. 22): This is a perfect astrological moment to take an inventory of your relationship with everything that nurtures you and keeps you alive. For instance, do you have a smart, balanced relationship with food? If not, what could you change about it? Do a similar analysis of the roles that other basic forms of sustenance play. Do you drink enough water? Should you learn the habit of breathing more deeply? Is there anything about the way you sleep that could be altered to enhance your overall vitality? Are you happy with how you obtain love and sex? Don’t forget to think about your relationship with the substance that fuels so many of the good things you rely on: oil.
Rob: Thanks for your ongoing attempts to burn away negative stereotypes about us Scorpios. Here’s more fuel for your fire: I’m not perfect, nor do I aspire to be. Perfection is a form of death. I’m grateful for my demons because in the worst of times they’re my allies, and in the best of times they’re the measure of my accomplishments. I don’t seek truth, I seek reason. Truth is relative and found only by consensus, while reason is irreducible and adamantine. When in the presence of other people, I try to locate the soul essence I can’t see with my eyes. It’s good practice for my main hobby, which is to locate the soul essence in myself. If these habits make me obsessed, intense, and inscrutable, so be it. — Scorpio to the Nth Degree.” Dear Scorpio: I’m publishing your letter because it’s an ideal time for all Scorpios to meditate on your wild ideas.
VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
Sept 17, 1859, businessman Joshua Norton crowned himself Emperor of the United States. He quickly issued an edict that dissolved the U.S. Congress, citing its fraud and corruption, and later abolished the Democratic and Republican parties. He created his own money to pay his debts, and called for the creation of a League of Nations decades before that institution came into being. Though most people in power ignored him, he was a celebrated figure in his hometown of San Francisco, appreciated for his brazen deeds and humor. When he died after a 21-year reign, 30,000 people attended his funeral. I urge you to make Emperor Norton your role model in the coming weeks, Aquarius. May he inspire you to declare yourself protector and guide of a domain that desperately needs more of your leadership. May you rule with a velvet hand, not an iron hand, dispensing witty wisdom as you promote your vision of utopia.
where credit’s due,” he testified in Martin Scorsese’s movie about Dylan’s life. “I don’t think Dylan had a lot to do with it. Instead of touching him on the shoulder, I think God kicked him in the ass.” I mention this, Cancerian, because I believe you’re about to receive a few divine boots in the butt yourself. Are you ready, willing and able to be moved and moved and moved?
LEO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your assignment is to be as agile in your dealings with people as a circus contortionist is in the way she manipulates her body. In other words, bend over backwards to promote harmony in your social circle and energize the ambiance at work. Try to be all things to all people without turning into a phony suck-up. When someone’s left hand doesn’t know what his right hand is doing, gently correct the disconnect. What’s in it for you? The unity you sow now will bring you unforeseeable benefits in 2006.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the 18th century, Horace Walpole coined the word “serendipity” after reading an old fairy tale entitled “The Three Princes of Serendip.” The heroes of the story, he wrote, “were always making accidental discoveries of things they were not in quest of.” Today “serendipity” has a broader meaning,
21): It’s official. In part because of rising gas prices, consumers are now buying more bicycles than cars. Some observers are alarmed at this development, regarding it as a sign that our culture is being forced to regress to a more primitive state. Others celebrate the trend, seeing it as a big step forward. In their eyes, the loss of convenience and mobility is more than made up for by the gains that will ultimately accrue to our physical health and the environment. I foresee a similar theme about to unfold in your life, Sagittarius. A short-term loss will lead to a long-term gain.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): In my astrological opinion, you really need to kiss the mist on the grass at dawn. For your life to be a complete success, you should also gaze at the tops of trees regularly, make a wish as you spit into a pond where the moon is reflected, and arrange for the sun to shine on the back of your neck as you sing an improvised ballad about your future. And if you’d like to earn some extra credit with the deities, making it impossible for them to resist sending you a bolt of brilliant cosmic juju, I advise you to eat a cookie while imagining it’s the body of your favorite god or goddess.
“The obscure we see eventually,” said journalist Edward R. Murrow. “The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.” You have recently taken care of the obscure stuff, Capricorn. Through a blend of lucky accidents and your dogged intelligence,

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, During sex, my Irish boyfriend sometimes talks about how he wants to ejaculate on me and then lick it off my stomach. I ignored this until the day when he actually did it. I’ve been grossed out ever since. I can’t seem to shake the image of him chowing down on his own spunk. Could it be that a) I’m culturally insensitive, b) I’m a prude, or c) he’s a repressed gay man? Grossed Out in Grand Isle Dear Grossed Out, You may well be culturally insensitive — why even bring up your boyfriend’s ethnicity? And you may be a prude — although failing to enjoy your guy’s appetite for his own jism ain’t evidence one way or another. Ditto his alleged homoeroticism — maybe he is, and maybe he’s not, but this particular practice is beside the point. Besides, even if he is attracted to men, as long as he’s also excited by you, who cares? Bottom line: Sexual grossness is in the eye of the beholder, and you don’t have to do anything you think is too yucky. Love, Lola
