RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS? Recently, I questioned Public Safety about one of their Derby Line troopers. I wanted to know how this state trooper was able to carry a gun and possess ammo in violation of federal gun law as it specifically relates to domestic abuse issues. Public Safety‘s email response is that law enforcement and military personnel are exempt from this federal law. They also suggested I speak with Assistant U.S. Attorney John Conroy for clarification. He echoed Public Safety’s position for a law enforcement exception, but knew nothing about the military personnel exemption. I contacted Senator Leahy with my concern that an exception for law enforcement personnel denies equal protection for women seeking a relief-from-abuse order from a state trooper who has had a restraining order placed on him by his spouse. Senator Leahy emailed that his office phoned the Vermont Department of Public Safety to ensure they understood there are no exceptions for law enforcement or military personnel regarding federal gun law and those convicted of domestic abuse. It appears to me that we need Detective Laurie Krupp [“Bullied in Brandon,” September 29] to replace our current Public Safety Commissioner to once and for all break Vermont’s good ol’ boy police mentality.

TECH FACTS The RTA School Board is selling the new technical academy on the premise that it will only increase property taxes by an average of 2.3 cents before applying the CLA. While their computations are correct, there are several other factors to consider. What follows is the “rest of the story.” The property tax increase, whatever it is, will only be applied to the homestead tax rate. The non-homestead rate, businesses and second homes, is fixed at $1.54. These taxpayers will see no increase. In computing an average increase in the homestead property tax rate, the RTA has spread the added cost over all 25,000-plus K12 students in the service area. One of the wonders of Act 68 is that it allows for apples-to-apples comparisons. A homestead property tax rate can be computed for the RTA. Using the RTA proposed budget and a poverty factor for the service area, one can compute an RTA homestead property tax rate. For 727 students, the rate would be $1.86 and, for 600 students, the rate will be $2.25. Remember, these rates do not include the CLA adjustment. What is your school district’s homestead tax rate? A great deal of the increase is caused by redundant course offerings. All the academic courses must be considered redundant as the sending high schools already

Cross is a Vermont State Representative running for re-election. PRESIDENTIAL RECORD President Bush has asked Americans for their vote based on his record. Fair enough! Examination of this record reveals one disastrous failure followed by another. Consider: Under the Bush leadership, world terrorism has increased this past year. State Department statistics confirm this fact. His leadership on this score has been ineffectual.

provide such courses for the same population. If one distributes the added cost, $3,978,682 over the 727 projected students, the per-student addition is $5472. If that cost is spread over 600 students, a number many think is more realistic, the addition per student is $6631. There is also the issue of the charge-back assessment to the district of residence. This could be as high as $9449 to $11,449 in year one. Lastly, it is important to note that the RTA project will increase the average per-pupil cost of education in all of Vermont by about $40. This one project will add $40 to the cost of educating every K-12 student in the state! That is the rest of the story. George C. Cross

The Bush policy in fighting terrorism is based on a premise doomed to failure. The brutality of American troops (i.e., Abu Ghraib, Afghanistan and Guantanamo) has so inflamed Moslems that, no matter what Mr. Bush says or does now, the support and cooperation of the Islamic nations will never be forthcoming. All political scientists agree that to win the war on terrorism, the cooperation of all nations is a prerequisite for success. Mr. Bush has blown his opportunity for this cooperation. Bush’s Administration has
unnecessarily eroded the contents of the Bill of Rights as he continues to ineffectively wage his war on terrorism. Mr. Bush initiated a pre-emptive war against Iraq that was unnecessary, that has resulted in the needless deaths of thousands of Iraqis and Americans, that has cost American taxpayers $200 billion, and resulted in the continuing destruction of Iraqi infrastructure both utilitarian and historical. His apprehension of Saddam Hussein has in no way brought peace, civility, comity or security to the Iraqi people.
The aggressive warmongering of Mr. Bush has resulted in skyrocketing prices for gasoline, fuel oil and propane that long ago wiped out the minimal tax benefits accorded middle-class Americans. He is systematically destroying the Social Security system as he seeks to enrich private insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry. He has demanded accountability from no one for the failures and brutalities associated with his administration, and for this and the reasons previously cited, it is

VOTE DEMOCRATIC I’m supporting Peter Clavelle for governor, Cheryl Rivers for lieutenant governor, Jeb Spaulding for treasurer and Elizabeth Ready for auditor. Peter has done tons of work for the city of Burlington and we need Peter in the governor’s office. I believe he can do a whole lot of good for this state, as he has done in Burlington. We need Cheryl Rivers in the office of lieutenant governor. I got to know Cheryl while monitoring the Statehouse on disability issues. Cheryl was a great state senator.

DEGREE-GATE? I have three-and-a-half years of college and so far have never exaggerated it on an employment application. On the other hand, among all the various questionnaires I seem to fill out these days, I sometimes mark myself “college graduate.” Depending on how I feel, the category “some college” just seems inadequate for a B average at MIT with half a dozen more non-credit classes. Graduated or not, Liz Ready [“Inside Track,” September 29] seems to have done her job well. Her college credentials don’t appear to be relevant to auditing, anyway. Likewise, the credentials of most political officeholders. I wonder how many others, elected and appointed, might have given in to the same temptation and described themselves as a bit better educated than they strictly were? Should someone check, and then maybe give up the finger-pointing? Fred G. Hill BURLINGTON
Yeah, I know I'm ugly...I said to a bartender, “Make me a zombie.” He said “God beat me to it.” I was so poor growing up, If I wasn't born a boy, I'd have nothing to play with. I was such an ugly kid, When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up. During sex, my girlfriend always wants to talk to me. Just the other night she called me from a hotel. A girl phoned me the other day and said "Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home. I'm so ugly... I worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get.

Tightening the Noose?
M
ore than two years of intense investigation by state and federal law enforcement officials finally paid off last week. That is, if you call last week’s plea deal by former Fletcher Allen CFO Thad Krupka a payoff. Ol’ Thad pled guilty to three measly state misdemeanors for lying to a state agency about the true cost of Fletcher Allen’s scandalous Renaissance Project. What Mary Fanny officials and trustees deceitfully called a $173 million expansion in 2002 now clocks in at almost $370 million. And you, the health-care consumers of northern Vermont, are the ones who will pay the tab for decades to come out of your jacked-up insurance premiums. Krupka, now living in Minnesota, will not be going to jail for his role in the biggest financial scandal in Vermont history. He will pay a hefty $170,000 fine. If Thad continues to do a good job of singing like a stool pigeon, his future is a bright one. Krupka’s plea deal brings the government one step closer to nailing the Renaissance Scandal’s kingpin — Krupka’s former boss, ex-CEO Bill Boettcher. But let’s face it, folks, this very expensive twoyear-plus federal and state criminal investigation has yet to show any results that justify the money, time and effort. As pointed out here, one problem investigators have in prosecuting Big Bad Bill on federal felony charges is proving Boettcher personally benefited from the fraud. Take notice that Krupka pled to state, not federal, charges. And several sources indicate there’s a very strong likelihood that Boettcher, like Krupka, will not spend one night behind bars for his ethically flawed Renaissance masterpiece, even if a plea deal is eventually agreed to. Instead, we’re told, prosecutors are pondering what would be a “tough enough sentence” to satisfy the ripped-off Vermont public? For example, how about a multimillion dollar fine and hundreds of hours of community service? What if the former Fletcher Allen Liarin-Chief had to pick up trash along the interstate for a month? Clean toilets at the Waystation shelter? Pop zits with his teeth? Okay, just kidding about the toilets and the zit-popping. But the fact is, if Boettcher sails away into the sunset without a felony conviction and time in the slammer, a few somebodies are not going to be looking too good, and they know it. There are also indications that another reason for the slow progress is the fact that the term of the first federal grand jury panel investigating the scandal has expired. Prosecutors would then have to go back to square one with a newly impaneled grand jury. What a mess! P.S. Former Mary Fanny trustee Con Hogan contacted us this week from Ireland. Hogan is advising the health services in County Kilkenny, which just happens to be yours truly’s ancestral homeland. Hogan resigned in disgust, we reported a few weeks ago, because the four entities that own Fletcher Allen refused to share any power with the public.
As Con kindly put it, “They have a long way to go.” Hogan’s resignation, or rather the fact that his resignation went unreported by both the Freeps and local TV news, has become something of an inside media joke. Since reporter Steve Kiernan left The Burlington Free Press a couple months back, the paper has dropped Fletcher Allen coverage like a stone. And whenever the Mary Fanny’s mentioned by Ch. 3 “medical reporter” Sera Congi these days, it’s usually about a philanthropist’s donation or a ribbon-cutting. For some unexplained reason, the local mainstream press has abdicated its watchdog responsibilities. Fletcher Allen Communications Director Maria McClellan told Seven Days that the Free Press and WCAX don’t even cover the scandal-ridden hospital’s trustee meetings anymore. Award-winning journalism, eh? Superman Lives On — “That was not happy news to wake up to this morning,” said Vermont’s senior senator Monday. Sen. Patrick Leahy was talking about the death of an actor who won fame for playing a superhero on celluloid. But it was the years he lived as a cripple that showed the world how truly super Christopher Reeve was. “A lot of people would have given up long ago,” remarked St. Patrick. “He suffered a lot of setbacks over the years, but he kept right on fighting.” The funny thing is that 20 years ago it was the tall, bald guy from Vermont who inspired Superman. As a teenager, Reeve first acted at the Williamstown Playhouse and spent time in Vermont long before the Man of Steel’s cape ever hung from his shoulders. Reeve knew the difference between cartoon characters and real heroes. The difference between make-believe and the human condition. Reeve first took a shining to St. Patrick in the mid-1980s. “He and I had met,” recalled Leahy, “and we talked about the fact he had spent a lot of time in Vermont.” Then in 1986, “He just called me up out of the blue when I was running for reelection and said, ‘I’m right here in Williamstown. Can I come over and help you out?’” They met in Bennington, where the Leahy Campaign had scheduled an event designed to sign up volunteers. “It was amazing,” said Leahy, “to see the number of volunteers who showed up because Christopher Reeve was going to be there.” He remembered leaving a restaurant with Reeve later, and a few local kids were waiting outside to get Superman’s autograph. One of them asked Chris, “Can you really fly?” “No, I can’t,” answered Reeve, as a look of disappointment came over the kid’s face. After they drove away, Reeve confided in the Vermont senator.

Working Hard or Hardly Working? Many of Vermont’s estimated 25,000 construction workers are leaving their permanent mark on the state. Others are just leaving. That’s the assessment of James Haslam, director of the Vermont Workers’ Center, a nonprofit workers’ rights organization based in Montpelier. Despite the plethora of construction projects now underway or slated to begin in 2005, Haslam says thousands of workers in Vermont’s building trades are being forced to flee the state in order to find permanent employment that pays a family-supporting wage. “Elsewhere in the region, people are paid well, they get great benefits,” says Haslam. “In Vermont, far too often that’s not the case.” The current state of Vermont’s construction industry is the topic of a community forum in Burlington this week sponsored by the Vermont Workers’ Center. The forum, which will include a discussion among elected officials, community leaders and workers in the various building trades, is part of a larger campaign called “Good Jobs in Vermont,” which focuses on what can be done to bring compensation and working conditions in Vermont up to the level of other New England states. According to Haslam, the Vermont Workers’ Center has heard “numerous stories” from local construction workers who claim that contractors often pressure them into not taking employee-sponsored healthcare benefits and urge them instead to put their children on Dr. Dynasaur, the state health-care program.
Elsewhere in the region, people are paid well, they get great benefits. In Vermont, far too often that’s not the case. JAMES HASLAM, VERMONT WORKERS’ CENTER “What we’re trying to do,” Haslam notes, “is make sure that taxpayers are not unnecessarily subsidizing contractors, especially where there’s lots of public money involved, like at the University of Vermont.” In fact, this week’s forum will likely spend a lot of time discussing the new $70 million student union that will be built at UVM, which is expected to open sometime in 2006. Specifically, the Workers’ Center hopes to get UVM to sign a “project labor agreement” that would outline various standards for the project. For example, do the construction jobs created by the project provide livable wages and health benefits? What is the contractor’s record on health and safety and workers’ compensation claims? And where are the workers being hired from? The Vermont Workers’ Center will also focus its attention on other community benefits that can be garnered from large, taxpayer-supported construction projects, such as whether contractors offer trade apprenticeships to women, minorities and refugees. Other possible community benefits could include the creation of a scholarship program allowing the children of construction workers on the UVM project to attend the university. “If we’re going to spend $70 million building a student commons at UVM,” Haslam asks, “how can we do this so it’s not just putting up another big building?” KEN PICARD
Cell Division? After a three-hour community-wide meeting at Marlboro College last week, students, faculty and staff decided not to ban cell phones from the small rural campus. Students dropped their resolution restricting cell phones to private quarters in return for a promise from cell phone-owning students not to use them. Good call. CATHY RESMER

Franchised Felons Martha Stewart won’t be voting for George Bush or John Kerry this year — in fact, she won’t be voting at all. The media mogul and convicted felon is serving time, which means that under New York law, she’s lost her right to vote just in time for the November election. Things would have been different if she lived in Vermont, one of only two states that allows convicted felons to vote while imprisoned; the other is Maine. Secretary of State Deb Markowitz confirms that Vermont law has never banned felons from voting, possibly because of Vermonters’ willingness to “live and let live.” Vermont inmates retain the right to vote during their incarceration, even if they’re housed out of state. All they have to do is request an absentee ballot. Other states make it more difficult for felons to vote even if they’ve completed their sentences; according to The Sentencing Project, a nonprofit prisoner reform group, 35 states withhold suffrage from felons during parole, 31 during probation. Several other states, like Florida, revoke suffrage from felons and never give it back. An August 18 article in The Washington Post estimates that these restrictions will disenfranchise nearly 4.7 million people this year, including roughly 13 percent of African-American men. Markowitz says that there has been no effort in recent memory to make Vermont’s felon voting law more restrictive. She guesses that’s because no one knows how they’ll vote. “Felons aren’t a voting bloc,” she says. But the Post reported that last year, Alabama Republican Party Chairman Marty Connors admitted a partisan slant to the issue: “As frank as I can be,” he said, “we’re opposed to [restoring voting rights] because felons don’t tend to vote Republican.”
|
Vermont ACLU Executive Director Allen Gilbert says that he hasn’t heard any voting-related complaints from Vermont inmates. In Florida, the Secretary of State recently circulated a list of felons to be purged from the voter rolls before election day. But Gilbert says, “There’s nothing like that here.” However, Markowitz says just because felons can vote doesn’t mean that they do. “I would expect not many do,” she says. “By and large, people in prison feel disconnected from the larger community.” Markowitz notes that inmate voter registration programs do exist in Vermont, and suggests that civic engagement can help combat recidivism. “Participation in the democratic process is one way of encouraging that connection with the community,” she says.

Although the ballot measure was approved by an overwhelming majority of the Burlington City Council, not everyone supports it — yet. Ellie Blais (Ward 7) and Kevin Curley (Ward 4) voted against. Curley says he likes the concept of open-space preservation in theory, but takes issue with the wording of this specific measure. He points out that the proposal has generated almost no public debate and thus could get lost amid other, more high-profile issues in November. He would prefer to see this one deferred until Town Meeting Day in March, which he says is a more appropriate time for debating local tax issues. “There are people who will actually go out and vote against money issues in November solely based on the fact that they’re in November,” Curley says. “The way we’re going about it just isn’t right. I think they’re rolling the dice by putting it out there in November.” Curley is also concerned that the initiative, as currently written, doesn’t create a separate line item on city residents’ tax bill. As a result, the money raised by this measure would go directly into the city’s general obligation fund, which leaves a future mayor or city council the option of spending the money for something other than open-space conservation. “Not that that’s going to happen, but I would rather go to the voters and say, ‘It’s cast in stone. This is what it’s going to be used for.’” KEN PICARD

With all the hoopla surrounding the upcoming election, widely seen as the most important presidential race in a generation, some Burlington officials are hoping that city residents don’t overlook a small ballot item that could have a major impact on the next generation. Among the issues Burlington voters will be asked to consider is a proposal that would create a citywide “Conservation Legacy Fund.” This measure would set aside money to be used exclusively for purchasing undeveloped property and conservation easements on shorelines, wetlands, wooded areas and small neighborhood parcels. If approved by voters, the Conservation Legacy Fund would also allow the city to leverage dollars from other sources, such as private land trusts, foundations, and state and federal conservation projects. The fund would be financed through a 1-cent property tax increase for every $100 in assessed value. For example, if a property has an assessed value of $200,000, this measure would increase the owner’s property tax bill by $20 a year. According to its proponents, the measure would generate an estimated $180,000 in annual income, which would be used exclusively for open-space preservation. The Conservation Legacy Fund is hardly a new concept in Vermont. In Chittenden County alone, many other towns have set up conservation funds, including Bolton, Hinesburg, Charlotte, Shelburne, Williston, Westford, Huntington and South Burlington.

Catch Me If You Can Police in Hapeville, Georgia, accused a 15-yearold boy of posing as a private investigator and stealing financial information from at least a dozen people to run up credit-card charges of $27,000. He used the money to print business cards that identified him as a police officer, then used the cards to buy a Ford Crown Victoria and equip it with gear found on
a police cruiser, including front spotlights and push bumpers. The boy’s scam ended when real officers observed the youngster getting into the car and decided to check him out. After finding that he had no license, officers searched his house and uncovered incriminating evidence, including a letter on forged police stationery authorizing him to buy 19 police radios. They also learned that he had been arrested when he was 13 for stealing mail out of mailboxes and tried in juvenile court. “He told us that had the juvenile court been a little stricter with his punishment then,” police Lt. William Shelton said, “he wouldn’t be doing what he was doing today.”

he man in the back seat of my cab was angry at something, and I just hoped it wasn’t me. He was of medium height, but built solid, like a brick: Well-defined muscles swelled from every area I could see, including — most fearsome to me — his neck. “Tightly wound” were the words that came to mind; his voice constricted, his body language forced and ungraceful. “Those spoiled bitches,” he growled. “Who the hell do they think they are?” “What, you have a rough night in the clubs?” I asked. “Those bitches!” he said, amping up the sentiment and essentially ignoring me. “Prancing around with daddy’s credit card — think they’re better than everyone.” Another local resentful of the college students, I thought to myself. Most of the students come from higher-income families, so sometimes there’s a backdrop of class warfare when they interact with the working class on bar nights. Add the sexual element into the mix and things can get really dicey. In the rear-view mirror I watched as
The instant this soldier spoke, I realized how abstract my “experience” of the war had been. the man lowered his window and scowled at the throngs. He appeared poised to hurl insults at random passersby, a nasty routine I just refuse to countenance. Drive-by belligerence is ugly, and I was not going to play wheelman if that’s what the guy had in mind. Never mind his intimidating physique, I thought; I’ll confront him if it comes down to it. Then, just as abruptly, he closed his window and said, “I just got out of the service two days ago.” “Is that so?” I replied. “Were you overseas?” The conflagration of Iraq immediately came to mind, but I couldn’t bring myself to ask the question using the “I” word. “That’s right,” he said. “I was in a Marine unit in Baghdad. Eight months. And I’m not talking about the Green Zone, either. We were constantly on patrol.” “Holy smokes,” I said, momentarily stunned. Like most everyone, I’ve had the Iraq war on my mind every day since it started. I’ve read about it, watched it on TV, heard about it on the radio and debated it with my friends. But the instant this
soldier spoke, I realized how abstract my “experience” of the war had been. This guy had been there — fighting for eight months, no less. We made our way to South Union and turned north towards an address on Archibald Street. The man suddenly lurched forward and rested his forearm across the top of the front seat. “Do you know what a 50caliber round is?” he asked. “Um, not really,” I answered awkwardly. “Some kind of bullet, I guess.” “That’s right,” he said. “It’s a bullet about this big.” He stretched his right hand over the seat, his thumb and forefinger describing a spread of 6 or 7 inches. “That’s huge,” I said, glancing to my side to look. “That’s right,” he said again, as if praising a particularly bright 10-year-old. “I watched my best friend in the unit — a medic, name of Troy — blown to bits by that round.” “Christ. When did that happen?” “Last month. You want to ask me what I think of the war?” The man’s intensity was unnerving. I wasn’t exactly scared of him any longer, but this wasn’t a comfortable conversation by any means. Yet, somehow, I felt it was my duty to listen to what he had to say, to bear witness. Regardless of my feelings about the war, this person had served in the American military and that means he’s fought on our behalf — on my behalf. This is not the way I would have looked at it in my younger years, but it’s the way I see it now. “Tell me, man,” I said to him, “what do you think about the war?” “Here’s how it is: When the bullets are flying, there are no politics. You’re just trying to stay alive another day.” We turned onto Archibald and I pulled to a stop in front of the man’s place. I said, “I hope I’m not out of line saying this, but you’ve just been through some seriously hellacious experiences. You know, there’s counseling for vets at the VA office. I have a good buddy who saw a lot of death during his tour in Vietnam. He eventually made it into the VA and it helped a lot.” The guy’s face dropped, and I could see the weariness, the despair beneath all that bitterness and bravado. “Well, I’ll keep that in mind,” he said, lifting out his wallet and paying the fare. “Semper Fi,” he said, and closed the door behind him. Semper Fi, I repeated to myself. Short for Semper Fidelis, the motto of the U.S. Marine Corps. I couldn’t say where I learned this, but I believe it translates as “Always Faithful.” What a powerful maxim, I thought as I headed back downtown. Not unlike a wedding vow. I wondered if the Marine Corps would reciprocate that loyalty now that he’s done his duty and returned stateside. Will we? 쩾

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Dear Cecil, What’s up with popups? I don’t mean the thing that happens when a batter gets too far under a fastball; I mean those maddening advertising windows that crowd your computer screen when you surf the Web. It can take several minutes to swat down the lot of them, giving that animated bimbo — you know the one — a chance to launch into her nails-ona-blackboard spiel about did-you-ever-wonder-why-yourcomputer-runs-faster-etc. How can infuriating potential customers in this manner possibly sell product? More to the point, why can’t I turn these goddamn things off? Mike Sharrock, Saint Paul, Minnesota Mike. Take a deep breath. Although you evidently haven’t noticed it, the era of the popup may be coming to an end. I say “may” because one can never underestimate the ingenuity of Web marketers and the evil programming wizards in their employ. For now, though, downtrodden users such as yourself are getting a break, mainly because popups (not to mention popovers, popunders and other variants) have ticked off so many people that the heavy hitters in the business have come to their aid. We’ll get to that in a bit. First, the basics: First, Some definitions: A popup is a new browser window, usually with ad content, that opens over your current one. A popunder, which is supposedly less annoying, is a new browser window that opens (duh) under the current one. A popover (also known as an overlay) — in my book more fiendish than either of the preceding — is an animated graphic that doesn’t have a window in the usual sense but rather materializes on top of the current window. Sometimes popovers have a click-the-X box that enables you to get rid of them; others don’t (or carefully disguise it) and you have to wait till they go away on their own. Interstitial ads appear after you click on a hyperlink, but before you get to the page you actually want. Rich media refers to fancy, often interactive, animated graphics that move around the page, etc. Rich media is the hot trend in online advertising since it’s dif-
ficult to ignore; it typically makes use of a technology aptly called Flash. Flash is often used for popovers. Second, popups and such are made possible by JavaScript, a programming language used to write code that’s embedded in the HTML code automatically downloaded to your computer when you open a Web page. JavaScript is relatively elementary but can invoke much more sophisticated technology, such as the aforementioned Flash. The capability to run JavaScript was built into browsers because Web designers wanted to be able to make their pages do cool things, and one suspects at least a few people realized it would facilitate commercialization of the Internet. Popups became popular because the original mainstay of online advertising, the banner ad, wasn’t working as a marketing tool. The “click-through rate” on banners was dismal, and many marketers were skeptical that the Web would ever become a viable advertising medium. Partly for that reason, online ad spending declined from $8.1 billion in 2000 to $6 billion in 2002. That year, however, intrusive online ads began to catch on in a big way. How well they work is debatable; the main thing is, marketers thought they worked, and online spending increased to $7.3 billion in 2003 and a projected $9.1 billion in 2004. Intrusive ads are perhaps second only to telemarketing on the list of loathed marketing techniques, and some well-heeled players have gone to great lengths to defeat them. The most recent, and in some ways most surprising, is Microsoft, which till not long ago had been lax not only about ads but about online security in general. In August, Microsoft released Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, which makes it possible to suppress most popups and in addition greatly strengthens XP’s online security features. SP2 is a free and for many users automatic download; click on the System icon in the Control Panel to make sure you’ve got it. Not using XP? Many swear by the popup-killing ability of the Google Toolbar, also available online for free. You’ve got SP2 but still get popups? Marketing snakes have probably surreptitiously installed ad-grabbing “malware” on your computer. I recently ran Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition, yet another free download, and eliminated 1690 “critical [i.e., wicked] objects”; now I’m largely popup-free. We haven’t seen the last of the marketers, though — at least we’d better hope not. We just want the marketing to be a little less obnoxious. But Cecil, you say, these guys are unscrupulous hyenas who deserve to have their internal organs roasted on sticks! Not arguing, compadre. However, let’s not forget that these unscrupulous hyenas have money. If we can’t abstract the wherewithal for the Web from their pockets, it’ll have to come out of ours. CECIL ADAMS

AN ENTRÉE TO VERMONT FOOD
Break-fast at Murray’s O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for those before you, that you may obtain salvation. – Qur’an 2:183
Y
ou might think a customer base fasting from dawn to dusk would spell trouble for a small café and grocery store. But for Waell Murray, co-owner of Global Markets in Burlington’s Old North End, the next four weeks represent one of his busiest, and tastiest, times of year. The Islamic holy month IMAGES of Ramadan starts Friday and runs through November 12. Jordan Murray is a Palestinian-born Muslim who was Silverman raised in Ramallah. He and his partner, Lila Sennett, have owned and operated Global Markets since they moved to Burlington from Philadelphia about a year ago. According to the Vermont Secretary of State’s office, Global Markets is the only food store in the state that offers products that conform to halal, Islam’s strict dietary code. Consequently, the small grocery-café has become, well, a Mecca for Burlington’s burgeoning Muslim community. Although 75 percent of the store’s dry goods are made in the former Yugoslavia, Global Markets also stocks items from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. There’s Alghazaleen tea from Sri Lanka, soda from Slovenia, green olives from Lebanon and Podravka-brand children’s cereal from Croatia. The sun-dried figs are Turkish. For the next four weeks, Murray will be catering to the unique culinary needs of Ramadan, whether it’s by offering his Muslim customers specialty foods from their home countries or preparing fullycooked hot meals and desserts to eat in or take out. For the more than one billion Muslims worldwide, including the eight million or so in North America, Ramadan is the ninth and holiest month on the Islamic calendar, marked by a fast observed each day from sunrise until sunset. During this “month of blessing and contemplation,” Muslims are expected to give up all pleasures of the flesh, including coffee, cigarettes, chewing gum, sexual activity and food. “That makes people go around all day thinking of nothing but food,” says Murray, “which creates an atmosphere of real creativity.” Not to mention hearty appetites. Throughout the 29 or 30 days of Ramadan — the exact timing of the holiday is determined by a local viewing of the moon — Global Markets will be serving iftar, the nightly breakthe-fast meal. Since Muslims generally eat just one meal a day during Ramadan, it’s not surprising that traditional dishes tend to go heavy on the carbs and proteins, with rice, meats, GLOBAL MARKETS breads, soups, stews CO-OWNER WAELL MURRAY and desserts featured prominently — “Not Atkins friendly at all,” Murray says with a laugh. In some cultures, iftar begins with a serving of dates or sweet drinks, which are a good way to get a quick burst of energy after a long day of fasting. Email Ken at ken@sevendaysvt.com
KATAYEF Typically, a Middle Eastern Ramadan meal begins with a fancy salad like fattoush — a chilled salad tossed with cubes of moistened bread. Next comes a thick, slow-cooked soup — “nothing out of a package or can, but something you put a lot of hard work and love into,” Murray says. Sometimes, it’s a hot, sweet soup made from a dried apricot paste called kamareddine. Typically, the main course includes chicken, lamb or goat, which are served with rice in some kind of thick stew. A common meal eaten only during Ramadan is fattah, rice mixed with hard, darkly toasted bread, a hot yogurt syrup, and either lamb or goat meat. Beef is less common, at least in Middle Eastern dishes, says Murray, and pork is, of course, strictly forbidden. Alcohol is also “haram,” or prohibited. Lamb and goat meat are popular favorites in many Ramadan entrées, particularly among African Muslims. Before Global Markets started carrying halal meats, observant Muslims had to drive to Montréal, Boston or New York City to find them. (Incidentally, Global Markets also stocks halal turkeys during Thanksgiving.) Murray emphasizes that all his pots, pans and cooking utensils were purchased new and have never been used for anything but halal foods. With their worldly pleasures kept in check throughout the day, Muslims often end the evening meal with special desserts that are served only during Ramadan. A common favorite for Murray is katayef, a sweet pancake similar to a crepe, which is folded like a pocket instead of rolled, pinched closed, and then deep fried. Murray will be making fresh katayef dough from scratch throughout the
month. He will also offer other traditional Ramadan desserts, including rice and apricot puddings. Global Markets will be open during its normal business hours throughout Ramadan. Those who observe the holiday — as well as curious nonobservers — are invited to the restaurant just before sunset to enjoy nightly readings from the Qur’an and share the iftar after. Murray expects to be serving about 12 to 15 customers each night in the café itself, but will cook enough to feed 20 to 25. Generosity and strengthening community ties are an integral part of Ramadan, when Muslims visit with family and friends. Also, with the growing interest among Vermonters in all things Arabic, Muslim and Middle Eastern, Murray expects to see some new faces down at the café as well. “What I have noticed among the people of Vermont that I didn’t notice anywhere else in this country is that Vermonters are open-minded to other cultures, other foods and other traditions,” he says. “Consequently, when it comes to food, people look at our menu and pick an item that they can hardly pronounce and when I explain it to them, they say, ‘OK, let me try it.’ That’s amazing.” Of course, for less-adventurous eaters, Murray and Sennett will still be serving their usual menu items, including a daily breakfast special for $2.25 offered all day. And though it’s not one of the Five Pillars of Islam, it would be a sin not to mention that Murray, who lived in Philadelphia for 11 years, claims to make “the best and most authentic Philly cheese steak in town.” He uses rolls that are baked fresh in the store each day. m

ust before daybreak, the Lamoille River curves through Milton like a black satin ribbon, reflecting cobalt blue from the waning moon. A squadron of sweatshirt-clad figures emerges from a red barn on the riverbank and marches through the dark toward the water, carrying a white sliver of a boat over their heads. “Everybody down!” yells the coxswain, fiddling with the mouthpiece that will help him bark orders from the stern. After stamping their feet for warmth, the eight men step lightly into the Vespoli shell, grip their yellow-andgreen oars and push off onto the pitch-black river. Mist rises from the smooth surface; were it not for the red-flashing headlamps of the coxswains

Coach Shane Kenney motors alongside the “men’s eight” in an aluminum launch, shouting advice in a Massachusetts accent straight out of Good Will Hunting: “Drive with youah legs! Keep youah shoulders relaxed!” His voice carries echoes of Boston’s renowned Head of the Charles rowing races held every October — the American version of the even more prestigious Henley Royal Regatta, which has tempted princes to the Thames since 1839. The sport romances participants and spectators alike, but it comes calling awfully early in the day. From 5:30 to 7 a.m., when the water is calm, members of the University of Vermont crew team gather on the Lamoille to practice. Unlike the school’s recognized “varsity” athletes — such as basketball or hockey players — the rowers have no special privileges enabling them to choose classes that leave plenty of time for their athletic endeavors. Some of them must be back on campus by 8 a.m. But these athletes are clearly of varsity, if not otherworldly, caliber. They stumble out of bed at 4:30, careful not to wake their roommates, to throw on clothes and trudge to the gym, where the carpools meet to drive to the river. While most of us are still fumbling with the snooze button on our
great blue heron remains standing just a few feet away, unperturbed. A duck perches on one leg and flaps its wings, as if dancing for his fellow birds; gulls wing overhead. Eight sets of oars slice through the water in perfect synchronicity, the result of intense teamwork. Since its founding as one of UVM’s student-run organizations in 1986, the crew club has started to see some of that teamwork pay off. In this season’s inaugural race on October 3 at Lowell, Massachusetts, the varsity women’s eight won the gold medal, cruising through the 3.25-mile course in 21 minutes and 36 seconds. While UVM’s rugby team, another club sport, was getting sacked in an alcohol-related suspension, the women’s crew team topped such powerhouse schools as MIT and Tufts University, which hail from the rowing-obsessed Boston area and its Charles River. What makes UVM’s crew do so well? Their success surely isn’t the result of comfort — the athletes crash on friends’ and families’ living room floors when traveling. Nor can it be ascribed to diet — with no stipend, they dine on only what they can afford. Their achievement may be due, at least in part, to a unique relationship the team has developed with the Chittenden County community. The Rent-a-Rower program, now in its second decade, dispatches brawny boatmen and women to
folks who need help around the house. Fifteen dollars an hour buys the same shoulders that hoist hulls down to the water every day, the same legs that drive such powerful strokes, and the same minds that remain focused on grueling tasks until the last oar has been stored properly in the red barn. “We once raked leaves for four hours!” says sophomore Rachelle St. Onge. In addition to raking leaves for single mothers or moving furniture for retirees, the crew team has built sheds, mowed lawns, stacked wood, painted houses, even just babysat. “There are very few jobs we won’t do,” says Lareau. “This weekend we’re going to North Ferrisburgh — we’re desperate!” Some residents have become regulars of — even addicted to — their rented rowers. One weekend last year, a woman called in two athletes to paint a couple rooms in her house. A few days after they finished, she called the UVM crew office again — to have the walls repainted in a different color. Oh, and to accent the rooms with a sponge soaked in the first color. “She tried that, and didn’t like it, so I had to paint over those sections again,” says junior Martha Robles. “I like painting, so it wasn’t too bad — but I was so scared I would drip somewhere.” Lucky handymen and women might return to campus well-fueled, as some clients will cook lunch or bake banana bread or cookies for their crew. They also bring back bucks that will help fund the sport’s high price — Vespoli shells sell for about $20,000, while a single oar can cost $250. To gain an edge on the spring season, which features the adrenaline-filled sprints of 2000 meters, the team also saves for its March-break training in South Carolina. As a student-run organization, the team has its own board, which meets regularly to discuss issues such as financing. “It takes a lot of money to get a crew club up and running,” says Kenney, who relocated from Boston College to coach the men. “And these guys take the initiative to get everything done — it’s amazingly efficiently run.” The rowers walk away from their jobs with something other than community interaction and money: a new alliance. Crew requires occupants of each boat to be completely in tune with each other, or the shell will be off balance — and slow. “When we went to move wood, there were three novice girls there,” says Robles. “I remember being worried about splinters and stacking the wood wrong, but what I remember most were the conversations, and how the new girls weren’t strangers anymore.” m

“You know, I can’t lie,� confessed Reeve, “but sometimes I feel like I’m Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. I wish just once I could take off about 1000 feet up in the air and come back down for the kid.� Leahy tenderly remembered Superman as a “very down-toearth guy,� despite his celebrity. The actor was politically active well before his tragic accident. St. Patrick recalled one meeting at a Senate hearing. Afterward Leahy offered to walk Reeve to his car. But he didn’t have a car, said Leahy, or a limousine like all the other Hollywood types. Superman had taken a cab from the airport. So Leahy grabbed his keys and drove Reeve back. As it happens, Reeve’s death may well have an impact — however slight — on the looming, extremely close presidential election. Last Friday night, two days before Reeve’s death, Sen. John Kerry invoked Reeve’s name and his cause: the fight for increased stem-cell research and the cures for paralysis it’s expected to uncover. But our current president opposes such research. George W. Bush does so in order to keep his fanatical “pro-life� religious supporters in line. You realize, of course, that there are millions of Bush loyalists who believe our U.S. Constitution should be replaced by their Holy Bible. Were they in Iraq or Afghanistan today, they’d be called “religious extremists.� In America, however, they’re called “good Republicans.� “The last time I talked to Chris,� said Leahy, “I promised him that stem-cell funding will pass. We will make sure it does. And when it does, members of both parties will be talking about Christopher Reeve.� Like the immortal cartoon superhero he played on the screen, Christopher Reeve will be with us for a long, long time. Thanks, Superman. Speaking of the Bible — Isn’t there a commandment that says, “Thou shalt not lie?� Well, don’t tell Bush’s religious fanatics, but their hero did just that last Thursday in Wausau, Wisconsin. You think we’ve got a lot of cows in Vermont? Wisconsin has over 17,000 dairy farms. They’ve got more cows than people. Dairy is king and George Bush knows it. That’s why he told Wisconsin farmers last Thursday that he supports the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program that Vermont Sen. Pat Leahy helped create. MILC is an adaptation of the old Northeast Dairy Compact and protects farmers from fluctuations in milk prices. George Bush needs Wisconsin in his column on November 2. And, unfortunately, as was the case with his holy war in Iraq, Mr. Bush will break commandments to achieve his personal goals. “I know the Milk Income Loss Contract program is important to the dairy farmers here in Wisconsin,� Bush told a rally of more
than 5000 sign-waving, cheering supporters. “I look forward to working with Congress to reauthorize the program, so Wisconsin dairy farmers and dairy farmers all across this country can count on the support they need.� Two days later, 48 hours, the House Republican leadership, led by the ethically challenged Rep. Tom DeLay, killed the reauthorization of the MILC program. Sen. Leahy told Seven Days that the House Republicans had gotten “a very clear signal from the White House� that the president wanted to be able to say he supported MILC in Wisconsin and Minnesota. So DeLay held off until after the campaign trip. “The last thing in the world [Bush] wanted to do was let it pass,� said Leahy. “He wanted to have it both ways. I think it was outrageous. It was about as cynical as you can imagine.� And, it was a lie. A lie to the dairy farmers of the Midwest and a lie to the American people. Clearly his momma never washed his mouth out with soap. Fortunately, St. Patrick is one very savvy saint. Anticipating the Devil would make the Bush administration do precisely what it just did to kill the MILC reauthorization, Leahy “slipped a little provision� in the bill two years ago that will keep MILC alive and working for another 11 months. “I figured,� said St. Patrick, “that I’d get it past the presidential election and we’d have several more bites at the apple.� A Vermont apple, we trust? Pat & Pete — If St. Pat has one more miracle up his sleeve, we know precisely who is on their knees praying to be the beneficiary. Leahy campaigned with Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Peter Clavelle in Franklin County on Monday. That’s Vermont dairy country and Leahy literally walks on milk, er, water in the eyes of the locals. Transferring Patrick’s support to Pedro will take a miracle, since Gov. Jim Douglas has made Franklin County a second home, and has pro-business Frank Cioffi singing his praises and Emerson Lynn writing glowing editorials. “Peter Clavelle would make a superb governor,� Leahy told us. “We’ve seen what he’s done in Burlington. I’d be delighted to see him as governor.� It appears the Clavelle people have stepped up efforts this week to make their campaign about Bush. Moonie’s back on the air after last week’s cash-saving hiatus. And he’s running his big attack ad — the one that stars Gov. Scissorhands smiling and waving alongside Darth Vader, er, Vice President Dick Cheney. Obviously, Clavelle agrees with us — his hopes for victory depend on the length of John Kerry’s coattails. But it’s going to take a miracle. Grave Digging? — As everybody knows, Sen. Leahy will be easily reelected on November 2 to a seventh term in Washington. About

the only person who doesn’t realize it is the creepy little Massachusetts nut job who’s repeating his 1998 ego-massage act. That was when Fred Tuttle of Tunbridge was the “miracle” candidate who saved Vermont from a possible infestation of self-annointed stock-market millionaires who wanted to find fame and glory on Vermont’s political stage. Tuttle defeated Jack McAlien, er, McMullen in the GOP primary after teaching him the anatomy of a cow during that most memorable VPR debate. Fred’s since passed away. We all miss him, but he went out on top. McWeirdo, unfortunately, continues to pursue his bizarre quest to be able to say that he lost a race for the U.S. Senate to Pat Leahy. Most Republicans shy away from McNutso. Republican Gov. Jim Douglas got out of a tight spot by quietly endorsing McMullen at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning at a senior citizen center in Rutland. Nice work, Jim! McMullen may have tons of money but he has no class. You see, getting Gov. Scissorhands’ “endorsement” apparently ignited McCreepy’s ego. Seven Days has learned that Mr. McMullen had the self-serving gall to harass Fred Tuttle’s widow in hopes of getting her to endorse his lunatic candidacy! This is one millionaire Masshole, folks, who’s gone beyond the beyonds. Dot Tuttle, Fred’s widow, told Seven Days that McMullen called over the weekend. He was seeking her endorsement of his deranged candidacy to be our U.S. Senator. “I was surprised,” said Dot. She said he told her in that spooky deep, slow voice that “out of memory of Fred,” he wanted “to show there was no animosity” over his 1998 primary defeat. Animosity? What animosity? Mrs. Tuttle told McPsycho she would not be endorsing the likes of him. Instead, she told him she will vote for Patrick Leahy — again. “I like Mr. Leahy and I told him that,” said Dot. “I just vote for the man who does the best job.”
Clear-Cut View— Last week’s clear-cutting of the 25-year-old crabapple trees in front of Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library came as a shock to many. The trees suffered from a fungus infection. Besides, they were only supposed to last 20 years, said Circulation Chief Lorrie Colburn. But once folks got over the shock, said Lorrie, eyes widened at the possibilities. The clear-cut has exposed the distinguished 100-year old library building to public view, and a marvelous new view it is. Plans to replant with American Elms may be put off, we’re told, as more folks discover what a wonderful new open public space has just been created in the heart of Vermont’s largest city.

<OPINION>
‘Ribbon’ Rhetoric An antiwar patriot experiences bumper-sticker shock
ven here in liberal Vermont, famed nationally for civil unions and Howard Dean, every other car seems to sport a “Support Our Troops” yellow-ribbon magnet. Other magnets STORY announce that the driver is “Proud to MARK Be an American,” while another redPENDERGRAST white-and-blue variety proclaims that “Freedom Isn’t Free.” IMAGE These signs bother me. What MATTHEW exactly do they mean? Why do people THORSEN put them on their cars? I suspect most of them indicate support for President Bush and the war in Iraq. Others who slap the magnets on their cars may question the wisdom of the war, but they want to express concern for the young men and women in the army — many of them from lowerclass families for whom military pay and benefits are very important. I’ve been thinking about these magnets and why they bother me so much. I do not intend to vote for George W. Bush. I think the war in Iraq was a mistake, and that we are in the early stages of another Vietnamtype quagmire. I’m glad Saddam Hussein is no longer in power, but the way we went about forcing this regime change has alienated the entire Arab world and many of America’s allies, and it has resulted in a chaotic, violent, deeply divided, occupied country on the verge of civil war. For their own reasons — oil? Revenge? Need to divert attention from domestic problems and failures? Testosterone? — Bush and his advisors got us into a war in Iraq with a terrible new policy of “pre-emptive” war that could justify aggression against anyone. It doesn’t matter that another country hasn’t attacked us, or anyone outside its own borders. If we don’t like the suspicious way a country is acting, we’ll invade! This is analogous to my distrusting a neighbor down the road — he looks sneaky, we had a big argument, and I’ve seen him with a very large gas can — so I set fire to his house. I do support our troops, however, just as I support any vulnerable human being in a dangerous situation. But just now, I am not terribly proud to be an American, at least not in terms of the way we have treated Iraqi prisoners and the alarmingly racist and jingoistic tendencies I see in some fellow citizens, in presidential
E
and official pronouncements and in many media messages. I can’t blame this entirely on George Bush, despite his simplistic, black-and-white statements about the “evil” enemy. He is simply expressing the same blind ethnocentrism we have always demonstrated. For instance, a natural disaster in the United States totally dominates the news. Yet when Hurricane Jeanne
Recently, the U.S. media parroted military press releases, informing us that American fighter jets had carried out a “precision strike” on a suspected insurgent stronghold of the “alZarqawi terror network” in Fallujah. But of course such bland and reassuring jargon hides the reality of what happened. They didn’t know exactly who they were bombing. They killed 16 people and wounded 37. That’s all
page 6A of the September 27, 2004, Burlington Free Press showing a screaming woman dressed in black robes. The caption underneath said: “Umm Qais cries after one of her grandsons died and four sons sustained injuries in a U.S. airstrike Sunday in Sadr City, Iraq.” But she looks foreign, and her name is weird. Readers may have paused for a moment to think, “Gee, that’s too bad,” but probably spent more time reading the accompanying article, in which the top U.S. military commander for Iraq, General John Abizaid, said, “I don’t think we’ll ever achieve perfection, and when we look for perfection in a combat zone we’re going to be sadly disappointed.” Tell that to Umm Qais. She, too, is “sadly disappointed.”
Those who are truly concerned should put a more intelligent magnetic message on their vehicles: “Support Our Troops — Bring Them Home Soon.” recently killed more than 1500 Haitians and left 200,000 homeless, it barely rated a couple of minutes on the evening news. The basic attitude seems to be: American lives matter a whole lot more than anyone else’s. So while I do worry about the poor Americans who are far from home and loved ones, trying to maintain order in Iraq, who may at any moment be killed by a sniper, blown up by a suicide bomber or kidnapped and beheaded, I also worry about the Iraqis. More than 1000 Americans have died in Iraq so far. That’s horrible. But some 15,000 Iraqi civilians have died, many of them innocent women, children and old people. Where are the car magnets that say, “Support the Innocent Civilians in Iraq”? It is Orwellian for George Bush to talk self-righteously about how we have brought freedom to Iraq when we have instead brought bombs, missiles and chaos. “Freedom Isn’t Free,” the mindless magnets say. What does our invasion of Iraq have to do with our freedom? It is astonishing that Bush seems to have convinced so many people that we were acting out of national self-defense. Who actually believes that Saddam Hussein was going to bomb the United States? I thought this sort of paranoia went out with the Cold War but, no, it is alive and well. “Bombs Aren’t Free” would be a more appropriate car magnet.
the media reported. We don’t see the faces, we don’t know whose child was killed, whose grandmother, whose friend. Imagine for a moment that Iraq has invaded the United States, and that Saddam Hussein is strutting around in military garb, talking about how he has brought freedom to America, but lamenting that there are a few die-hard terrorists who insist on attacking the patriotic Iraqi troops. So they bomb a building in Burlington where they suspect some rebels are hiding. Only guess what? They kill your best friend and his youngest daughter, and his wife and son are in the hospital. The boy has lost a leg. If we still had any sort of free press at that point, can you imagine the headlines? The television coverage? But of course that isn’t happening here, thank God, and we really don’t want to know too much about what is happening to ordinary people in Iraq just now. Then we would have to think about it. The official attitude appears to be, “Well, it’s too bad if a few children are killed or maimed, but you’ve got to expect collateral damage. This is war, after all.” And if a rare TV station or newspaper actually does show a picture of a maimed or dead Iraqi child, we protest their insensitivity in showing such gross things. Instead, we occasionally get pictures like the one I saw recently, a small photo on
I hope no one thinks I am antiAmerican. We have a wonderful country and we are lucky to live here. That’s really my whole point. Instead of being so self-righteous and self-satisfied, perhaps we could afford to worry as much about the rest of the world as we do about ourselves. Not that I think we should worry less about our own troops. But those who are truly concerned should put a more intelligent magnetic message on their vehicles: “Support Our Troops — Bring Them Home Soon.” Such signs are, in fact, now on sale at Burlington’s Peace & Justice Store on Church Street. I hope P&J will use profits from the sale of their magnets to push for peace. I also hope they offer their magnets at cost to military families or others who are conducting fundraising events for our troops overseas, just as many manufacturers of the ubiquitous “Support Our Troops” magnets do. It is a myth, however, that all the profits from these magnets go to support the troops. Most of the profits go to good old American retailers who know a good thing when they see it. Mindless jingoism sells. And it’s a lot easier to put a magnetic yellow ribbon on your SUV than it is to really think about suffering humans, whatever their nationality may be.m Mark Pendergrast is a Vermont author.

No News is Bad News Book review: David T.Z. Mindich
I
n a documentary that aired last month on MTV called “The Best Place to Start,” actress Drew Barrymore rode the campaign trail to try to figure out why her fellow twentysomethings don’t vote. When the starlet cornered politicos such as STORY MARGOT Hillary Rodham Clinton and James HARRISON Carville, they invariably answered her bumbling questions with talk of a “vicious Tuned Out: Why circle” — politicians don’t address youth’s Americans Under concerns because youth doesn’t vote, and 40 Don’t Follow vice versa. How did the vicious circle the News by David T.Z. Mindich, start? Where would it end? Nobody Oxford University seemed to know, and Barrymore, who by Press, 224 pages, this time had also figured out just how $20. ignorant she was about the real issues in the election, ended up sniffling in her Mindich discusses his book at Barnes hotel room as she wondered — on-camera — whether she’d taken on too big a job. & Noble, South Burlington, A Charlie’s Angel playing civics teacher October 19, is easy to mock. But in his new book 7:30 p.m. & Tuned Out: Why Americans Under 40 Don’t at Ohavi Zedek Follow the News, which has already drawn Synagogue, an admiring blurb from Walter Cronkite, Burlington, October 24, St. Michael’s College journalism professor 3 p.m. David T.Z. Mindich shows us that Barrymore’s allergic reaction to politics is actually surprisingly typical. The emotions fueling her crying jag — confusion, mistrust of her elders, guilt about her own ignorance — showed up repeatedly as Mindich interviewed people between ages
but his anecdotal findings about young people’s civic ignorance are backed up by statistics. In 1972, he tells us, 47 percent of 23- to 27-year-olds read a newspaper every day; in 2002, 19 percent did. Nightly TV newscasts lure only 17 percent of the under-30 crowd; the average CNN viewer is over 60. And while most kids are plugged into the Internet, a 2002 Roper Poll showed that only 11 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds seek news online. It seems that my friends who consider “The Daily Show” their nightly newscast aren’t alone — nearly half of those under 30 report they get their current-events fix from latenight comedy shows. Why are young people abandoning traditional news, and what can we do about it? Mindich never questions the premise that this waning of interest is bad — “a huge danger to democracy itself,” he calls it. But for a book about what’s wrong with “kids today,” Tuned Out is fairly unpreachy. Rather than evoking the collapse of Western civilization, Mindich simply asks a bunch of young people why they do or don’t “tune in.” He concludes that those who do tune in “follow the news because they are part of a community” where news is discussed and valued. Tuned-out young people, by contrast, tend to be more isolated from their local
FROM TUNED OUT: At Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, I sat with a group of a dozen or so students and discussed their news habits. I was impressed by their intelligence, thoughtfulness, and ability to examine their relationship with the news and entertainment media. These traits came in handy when they tried to describe why they tuned out from the news to concentrate on entertainment. News is stressful, said one. Another argued that it is not the level of stress but the engagement that mattered. Even though video games can be stressful, he said, “I’d rather play video games than read a newspaper because… it engages you more.” The theme was repeated over and over again. With “Friends,” one student said, there is a “sense of emotional investment and…instant gratification.” Against this is the “detachment” of “campaign finance reform…CNN…[and] Peter Jennings.” Given the choice between the two paradigms, said another, you are going to choose entertainment because “it’s instantly gratifying and…resolved immediately…I mean, if you have a choice between two of them, you’re going to pick the immediate one right away.” A few of the students and their professor noted how some of the students presented Peter Jennings as simply a choice within the entertainment universe, just another stock figure. Given that perspective, Jennings, the worldly but aloof uncle, is not nearly as engaging as Britney Spears, Chris Rock, or the “Friends” characters. […] This theme of news not being as much fun as entertainment came up not just at Brandeis but repeatedly throughout my interviews and in my informal discussions about the project. And it raises a key issue: For much of the last two centuries, journalism has been marching towards detachment and what it calls objectivity. Blatant political and partisan voices, engaging as they were, gave way to cooler voices. The reader is now asked to sift through balancing quotes or sound bites and make up his or her own mind. The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and National Public Radio are all staffed by humans, but they all try to be detached and nonpartisan. They don’t always succeed, but if detached reporting is done correctly, we are unable to say with certainty how a reporter voted or what he or she feels about a certain issue. What journalism is facing now is that fewer people understand the importance of being politically informed and more people are judging journalism’s entertainment value against that of “Friends.” It’s a losing proposition.

If kids can memorize 10 singing contestants and their hometowns, Mindich reasons, what’s stopping them from knowing who’s who in the presidential primaries?

Pointing out how the current media landscape has shifted overwhelmingly toward instant gratification, Mindich argues that adults bear some responsibility for

Mindich’s global explanation for news-illiteracy might be paraphrased, “It’s the sitcoms, stupid.” refocusing young people’s priorities. He recommends requiring a civics class for college entrance, for example, or adding basic civics questions to the SAT. Constructive as these suggestions may be, they won’t do much to win over those young people who cite journalism itself as the reason they don’t follow the news. And it’s not just young people: A 2004 First Amendment Center/ American Journalism Review poll found that only 39 percent of Americans agree that “the news media try to report the news without bias.” Mindich encountered this cynicism about media bias repeatedly in his interviews, but he doesn’t buy it. The book includes an in-depth discussion of how commercial concerns have distorted the journalistic mission, as well as several concrete suggestions for taking back “the airwaves, desktops and news offices” from large corporate interests. Still, Mindich maintains that good journalism “is still practiced every day in the United States and around the world” and that we have no excuse for not seeking it out. Ultimately, Tuned Out is a call for a return to traditional civic engagement and a revivification of the old, locally based party structures and news outlets, which brought the issues to people’s front doors. Young people who believe the future is elsewhere — for instance, in Internet political communities — may not agree with some of Mindich’s conclusions. Still, Mindich pulls off a balancing act in this book: He manages not to bash young people for their ignorance while still refusing to let them off the hook. And that, perhaps, is the real “best place to start.” 쩾

un is not a word generally associated with the Vermont International Film Festival. Interesting? Yes. Informative? Always. But the annual Burlington event devoted to “images and issues of global concern” is no laugh riot for audiences. Nonetheless, the 15th edition running Wednesday through Monday, October 13-18, might just have ’em rolling in the aisles. Perhaps a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down while we’re scrutinizing the planet’s many woes. “Even with difficult subject matter, everybody responds to humor,” acknowledges Barry Snyder, president of the VIFF board. So, starting a long weekend of serious cinema with sharp satire makes perfect sense. Tanner on Tanner, playing Wednesday at the Roxy, is a mockumentary that once again pairs director Robert Altman with a script by “Doonesbury” cartoonist Garry Trudeau. They last collaborated on the groundbreaking Tanner ’88, which mingles fact with fiction to convey behind-the-scenes observations of campaign war rooms, focus groups, stump speeches, debates and media madness in a run for the Democratic presidential nomination. John Sayles skewers the current resident of the White House in Silver City, playing Friday. The black comedy, in part, traces the misadventures of a Colorado gubernatorial hopeful who makes verbal gaffes when trying to communicate his right-wing views. The mid-1950s kitsch in Godzilla may seem funny, yet this Japanese cult classic about a monster awakened by atomic tests is relevant for a festival that has always focused on the nuclear arms race. Saturday’s screening will not use the doctored version seen on these shores 50 years ago, however. “Back then, Raymond Burr was added to the cast to make it more palatable for the American public,” Snyder explains. “The original has now been re-released, with a pristine print. Reportedly, it’s something of a revelation, starker and less campy, a more accurate look at Japanese cultural expression.” While Creature From the Black

Lagoon emerged from the same era, the freaky fish tale apparently wreaks havoc with less social significance than its Tokyo cousin. Then again, “a connection can be made to Cold War paranoia,” Snyder notes. On the plus side: The movie’s many underwater sequences should be a blast in

NICHOLLS ON TANNER Watch out, Michael Moore. Robert Altman, already an industry maverick when you were still in high school, has aimed his subversive wit at documentary filmmakers with good politics and big egos. “Moore seems too self-important, and Bob wanted to take a little shot at that,â€? says Burlington resident Allan Nicholls, assistant director for the latest Altman oeuvre, Tanner on Tanner, which opens the Vermont International Film Festival. With a teleplay by Garry Trudeau, the 95-minute production consists of episodes created for the Sundance Channel, which is broadcasting them individually throughout ROBERT ALTMAN October. It’s the sequel to Tanner ’88, an HBO series that tracked the makebelieve presidential wannabe portrayed by Michael Murphy. In his ultimately unsuccessful bid for the Oval Office, the faux-candidate takes his liberal campaign from New Hampshire to Los Angeles, winding up at the actual Democratic convention in Atlanta. Along the way, Altman and company improvise scenes with any genuine movers and shakers who cross their path, from Bob Dole to Bruce Babbit. “That was true guerrilla filmmaking,â€? Nicholls says. “Reality TV before there was reality TV, but not at the expense of good taste.â€? When approached by Sundance, “Bob didn’t want the new show to be about Jack Tanner,â€? explains Nicholls, a MontrĂŠal native who has worked with the legendary director since Nashville in 1975. “This one takes it a step further.â€? The update concentrates on Tanner’s obsessive daughter Alex (“Sex and the Cityâ€? star Cynthia Nixon, reprising her role from the 16-year-old original). She’s now shooting a doc about her father, who has become a professor. His former campaign manager (Pamela Reed) is back as an advisor to John Kerry. “We assembled most of the old cast and crew,â€? Nicholls says. “It’s a nice reunion.â€? The current endeavor, which continues Altman’s tradition of overlapping dialogue, covers fewer miles than its predecessor traveled. “We shot in New York and at the convention in Boston, where Cynthia’s character had a sit-down with Howard Dean,â€? Nicholls reports. At 79, Altman doesn’t seem to be slowing down. He’s working on several upcoming projects: movie collaborations with playwright Horton Foote and author/radio host Garrison Keillor, plus an opera based on 1978’s A Wedding. It will have a December premiere in Chicago. Nicholls, 59, is busy as well. “I’m putting together a CD of all the music I’ve written for Bob’s films over the years,â€? he says. “It’s in different genres: country, jazz and rock.â€? One of his compositions, “The Vote Song,â€? serves as the melodic glue of Tanner ’88 and can be heard again in Tanner on Tanner. Nicholls will be at the Roxy to introduce the latter film and answer post-screening questions. This year marks the 30th anniversary of his fortuitous introduction to Altman, a mentor he deems “one of the bravest filmmakers around.â€? And one of the least obtrusive. — S.G.
3-D. The requisite cardboard eyeglasses will be handed out for the Monday night presentation at the Flynn MainStage, with live music, dialogue and sound effects performed by the Jazz Passengers. The fest’s ongoing concerns are environment, justice and human rights, and war and peace. Filmmakers enter their work, most often documentaries, in these categories, and local juries choose which ones to screen. The selections then compete for prizes. Even as the world’s flashpoints keep changing, other films are simply handpicked because they’re a good thematic fit. This year, for example, Films From the Holy Land will include Lullaby, about Israeli and Palestinian babies killed by both sides during the Intifada. The Take, a glimpse of Argentineans running boss-free
operations in bankrupt workplaces, is part of Latin America in Full Frame. Another doc in this section is Children in a Jar, which follows six kids — among many thousands — living on the streets of Central American cities. In the Women’s Showcase, Return to Kandahar revisits postwar Afghanistan with Nelofer Pazira. She’s a Canadian citizen who starred in a 2001 movie about a journalist’s dangerous trek through the Taliban-controlled country to rescue her sister. A section called Visions of Africa features Witches in Exile, about women in Ghana who are banished to remote villages after being accused of practicing black magic. “Small, individual narratives offer hope for the future when we see the grand designs of gov>> 26A

Foundation, which sends camcorders all over the world. In the Philippines, the very presence of cameras has sometimes prevented death-squad violence.” Snyder, who heads the Burlington College cinema studies department, finds such developments intriguing. “If VIFF’s mission is about how film can help encourage discourse, it’s an important phenomenon to pay attention to,” he suggests. “There aren’t necessarily great aesthetic standards. What you gain, to offset that, is richness and variety from marginalized voices.” A Friday panel discussion entitled “Reel Action for Real Democracy,” at the Firehouse Center, will explore this theme. Other talks on the schedule bring Glover’s Peter Schumann to the Queen City. The Bread and Puppet Theater founder is participating in two Saturday chat sessions at City Hall Auditorium.

THE BLOGGER One Vermonter's Internet ax-grinding attracts national attention //
Bookmark your local bloggers: We can’t possibly provide a comprehensive list of Vermont bloggers — and would you even want one? People often publish some intimate stuff in their blogs, and you just might not want to know about your co-worker’s intense boy-band fetish. Here, then, is a short list of entertaining and informative Vermont bloggers who write for the public eye. They’re not all into liberal politics. OK, most of them are liberal. But all of them are at least worth a click to find out who’s blogging in your neck of the woods.
Alphecca.com FAIRLEE
BY CATHY RESMER
www.oldshawfarm.com SOUTH PEACHAM
THE BLOGGER: One Vermonter's Internet ax-grinding attracts national attention by Cathy Resmer Jerome Armstrong was one of the architects of Howard Dean’s Internet campaign. He’s best known for starting the first grassroots Howard Dean website and for introducing Joe Trippi, Dean’s campaign manager, to Meetup.com. At the peak of its influence, the website drew 190,000 volunteers to monthly campaign meetings. But Armstrong doesn’t look like a political power broker. At the October 6 Vermont gubernatorial debate at the Clarion Inn in South Burlington, he looked pretty much like a regular guy. In a sea of suits and khaki, the Internet consultant was wearing jeans, New Balance sneakers and a fall jacket. Except for the slim, silvery computer on his lap, he could have been a soccer dad headed to a game.
E-I-E-I-O—Peter and Maryellen Griffin are two Vermont farmers who have a blog. Five years ago, the two Ivy Leaguetrained lawyers bought the old Shaw dairy Farm in South Peacham to pursue their life-long dream of working the land. This fall, they finished the first full season on their 3-acre organic vegetable plot. To chronicle their agricultural adventure, they started the Down On The Farm blog in the spring of 2003. In their first post, on April 7, they wrote about their barn. The couple posts to the site every few days, often including wholesome photos of fresh organic veggies poking through the soil. Recent entries have included pictures of the day they canned pickles, and a recipe for “Sheri’s Melting Squash Risotto.” Peter Griffin says the site consistently gets 100 to 200 visitors each day, which is “a lot more traffic than I would have ever anticipated.” He figures some people like to live vicariously. “I think everybody’s got a little of the farm dream in them,” he says, “and keeping up with us is a way of nurturing that.”
www.librarian.net
The boyish 40-year-old Burlington resident was the only person at the debate with a laptop. Since none of Vermont’s major newspapers covered the forum, he was also probably the only person in the room who typed up a report of the event and published it — in his case, by posting his observations on his website, where they were seen, over the course of the next 24 hours, by roughly 30,000 people.

Jerome Armstrong is what’s known as a blogger; his website MyDD.com — the DD stands for Due Diligence — is a variety of online journal commonly referred to as a web log, or blog. Armstrong broadcasts his thoughts over the Internet. But lately he’s also been spending a lot of time talking to traditional reporters; earlier this month he was featured in the cover story of The New York Times Magazine. Photo: Matthew Thorsen
Sites like Armstrong’s are making headlines because they’re the new national watercoolers. Rather than merely consuming what the media reports, a growing number of civics-savvy Americans — from political junkies to presidential candidates — are joining the discussion or checking it out for themselves. It’s a national, online conversation, and everyone with access to an Internet connection is invited to speak up, or at least listen in. It’s where the action is: That’s why television commentators, in their post-presidential debate coverage, now quote from blogs.
Jessamyn West is a 36-year-old librarian with dreadlocks — the editor, with Katia Roberto, of Revolting Librarians Redux: Radical Librarians Speak Out. West, who lives in Bethel, works as the Outreach Librarian at the Rutland Free Library, where she teaches her patrons to “grok” email. She’s also an enthusiastic anti-capitalist blogger, who was featured recently in Wired magazine for her opposition to the USA PATRIOT Act. West keeps a few blogs, but her main site is librarian.net (“putting the rarin’ back in librarian since 1993”), which she publishes as a resource for like-minded information profes-
The millions Howard Dean’s campaign raised online, one small contributor at a time, were impressive — a tangible measure of the internet’s political potential. But Deaniacs didn’t invent the blogosphere; the candidate’s techy advisors merely harnessed its growing power. >> Read more on page 30a.
sionals. Readers will find plenty of posts about the government and privacy issues, and lots of helpful tech hints. West also posts librarian morale boosters. One recent link led to a UK story about a man who shows up at people’s doorsteps unannounced to collect their overdue books. West says she’s been blogging since before it had a name — she started as an Internet consultant in Seattle in the ’90s. But her true calling is clear. “I’m a librarian who has a weblog,” she says, “not a blogger who happens to be a librarian.”
Jeff Soyer is a blogger who calls himself “a gay gun nut.” The 49-year-old works as a webmaster for a Vermont furniture company, and registered his domain name in 2002. He thought he’d be writing about astronomy and science fiction, so he chose the name of a star. “Alphecca” seems nonsensical now that Soyer has more or less abandoned sci-fi in favor of attacking gun control, mainstream liberal gay rights groups and the assault weapons ban. He doesn’t make his web traffic statistics public, but he says he gets between 1000 and 2000 hits a week. He was recently featured in an AP article about bloggers who make money. He got in because he doesn’t. Soyer’s readers often find him through Glenn Reynolds, who publishes the highly trafficked conservative blog Instapundit. Reynolds frequently links to Soyer’s posts
detailing the media bias against guns. Soyer’s readers are often right-wing conservatives, but strangely, they often don’t mind that he’s gay. They’re just glad he likes guns. In a post entitled “Credit Card Shotgun? Oh Please,” Soyer writes, “I should have the same fire-power as the mutants who might attack me in my home or on a street in some urban area. So should you. So should anyone. If you have to stop to reload, that gives them an opening to kill you.”
norsehorses-turf.blogspot.com MONTPELIER Morgan Brown is prolific for a blogger who posts only on public terminals. The 48-year-old Montpelier man has been homeless, off and on, for 31 years. For the last four he’s been “homeless with a roof,” often couch-surfing with friends or pet-sitting in order to stay indoors. The resourceful Brown maintains not one but three websites through the free blog provider Blogger.com. There’s Norsehorse’s Home Turf, his personal site; the Unofficial Vote4Nader page; and the satirical blog for Blogoholics Anonymous. Brown started Norsehorse’s Home Turf in May 2004, but has posted links there to an earlier blog about homelessness he started in November 2002. He’s also linked to some writing he’s done about depression and mental illness for various newsletters. By keeping it all centralized online, he’s able to share his experiences with the world and travel light.
Brown says keeping a blog helps him feel less isolated. And, he adds, “It keeps me rather busy, dry, warm (or cooler, depending on the weather), etc., at least whenever I have online access somewhere anyway.”

Now Armstrong — eager to prove that despite Dean’s defeat, blogs can help the Democrats take back Congress — is no longer waiting for the campaigns to figure it out for themselves. Like a laptop vigilante, he’s started taking matters into his own hands. Which is pretty much the whole idea behind blogging. Armstrong started MyDD in June 2001, then took a yearlong blogging break in May 2003 to work for Dean. He relaunched his site last March. Since then, his cyber smarts and political punch have attracted an online readership larger than some of Vermont’s local papers. MyDD is not affiliated with any news organization or campaign — it’s just a place where Armstrong and his blogger buddy, Pennsylvanian Chris Bowers, can post their wonkish blend of news and election analysis designed to appeal to Democrats like themselves. They get enough traffic to be attractive to progressive advertisers such as the website www.the twofacesofbush.com, which bring in between $1000 and $2000 a month. Armstrong makes most of his money showing candidates and organizations how to use the net; he recently launched a blog for Common Cause. As the November elections approach, MyDD’s pointedly partisan perspective is becoming increasingly popular. Last week alone, the site attracted 173,000 visitors. That’s almost as many as it got in the months of March, April, May, and June combined. And though MyDD is big and getting bigger, other blogs — such as the conservative Instapundit and Little Green Footballs, and liberal sites Talking Points Memo, Eschaton, and Daily Kos — are huge and getting huger. Although Republican bloggers might actually command a bigger online audience share, it’s the Democratic bloggers who are driving the use of blogs as a political organizing tool. Daily Kos is probably the best example. It’s run by Armstrong’s consulting partner, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga; the two founded Armstrong Zuniga in January 2003. Moulitsas cites MyDD as his blogging inspiration, and calls Armstrong his “blogfather.” Two weeks ago, Daily Kos — the name refers to Moulitsas’ Army moniker — was averaging 330,000 daily visits. Now it’s up to half a million. Moulitsas has translated his traffic into political clout by promoting news, analysis — and candidates — of interest to his partisan readers. So far, Daily Kos has raised $100,000 for the Democratic Party, and another $83,000 for John Kerry. Last May, Moulitsas held an Internet primary to let his readers decide who he should endorse. They compiled “the Kos dozen,” similar to “The Dean Dozens” Howard Dean has supported through his organization Democracy for America. The Kos Dozen includes House and Senate candidates from all over the country,

including New Yorker Samara Barend, Brad Carson of Oklahoma and Pennsylvania’s Ginny Schrader. Daily Kos and other liberal blogs actually helped Schrader become a viable candidate. She was an unknown long shot before her moderate Republican Congressman opponent dropped out of the race in July. Stephen Yellin, a 16year-old blogger who sometimes posts to Daily Kos, alerted the blog to the opportunity to win the race, and suggested that everyone pitch in ASAP. “This is completely out of left field, folks, and it gives us another opportunity for a pickup,” Yellin wrote. “Ginny Schrader is the luckiest candidate in the nation today, but can her luck hold?” In June, Schrader reported she had only $7000 in the bank. Two days after the liberal blogosphere started rallying around her, she’d pulled in $30,000. And while Daily Kos has raised the most for its candidates, there are thousands of other blogs bringing in a little here, a little there. It adds up. For example, Daily Kos reader Todd Pritsky, a technical instructor for Verizon who lives in Fletcher, links to Democratic fundraising sites on his blog, Dohiyi Mir. Pritsky himself has raised $1500 for John Kerry, and $1000 for the DNC. “Pretty good for someone who’s just a schmuck in Vermont,” he notes.
Television. Young has been reading MyDD since Armstrong first began supporting Howard Dean in the spring of 2002. Young recently quit his job at VPT after 10 years to start a company that researches ways to put public television on the web. At a time when six media conglomerates control 90 percent of the media content in the world, blogs provide a grassroots, democratic alternative to corporate media, Young believes. “When we look back in a couple years at blogs, that’s going to be the part that’s made the most difference,” he says of blog comments. “The real point of blogs is that it’s community media.” The folks in your local community may already be plugged in. Former Waterbury Village President Thomas Stevens checks out Daily Kos and MyDD to get his “daily fix” of political news. Stevens compares his visits to Armstrong’s electoral college forecast map to “looking at the weather charts in the Times Argus.” Jessica Workman, who owns Speeder and Earl’s coffee roastery on Pine Street, has been a Daily Kos “lurker” — which means she reads but rarely posts — for two years. “I think it’s going to change the entire way the political structure in this country works,” she says, “and I think that it’s exciting. I think other people do, too, which is why this is happening.” A tech-savvy ex-Dean volunteer in Burlington, willing to be known only by his blog handle, Vermonter, says he’s known about online communities for years but never felt compelled to participate before the Dean campaign. Now he reads, and posts, on several liberal blogs a day. “There is something very real about virtual communities that I was previously very cynical about,” he says. “I think it’s inevitable that this becomes popular.”

ARMSTRONG IS NO LONGER WAITING FOR THE CAMPAIGNS TO FIGURE IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES. LIKE A LAPTOP VIGILANTE, HE'S STARTED TAKING MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.
The point of blogs isn’t really money, though. The sites attract guests because their hosts know how to throw a good party: Lure the right people and get them to talk amongst themselves. Most blogs let readers weigh in on what’s posted, and respond to things other readers have said. But visitors aren’t just “talking,” they’re writing. And when you write online, you can embed links to the subjects you’re writing about. If you were reading this story on a blog, the words Daily Kos, say, could take you directly to that website and let you see it for yourself. It’s so easy to do you’d probably check it out. And after reading this article, you could post a comment about it on Daily Kos and provide a link to the Seven Days site so everyone else at Daily Kos could see this article, too. This kind of interaction, multiplied exponentially, drives news on the blogosphere. Stories and ideas travel because thousands of people comment on thousands of blog posts, and provide an instant pathway to evidence that illustrates their point. MyDD and Daily Kos take this interaction one step further, allowing their readers to post their own uncensored “diaries” to the site. Links to the diaries appear along the right-hand margin of the page. To see them, you click on tantalizing headlines such as “Subverting the Texas Paradigm” and “Why Did Bush Skip His Physical?” Users can customize how they view the blog, and can choose how many diaries to display on the page. Older diaries get bumped down as new ones appear. Diaries on MyDD might stay up for as long as 24 hours, but on Kos so many people post that the typical shelf life of a diary is 30 minutes. To keep important information from getting lost in the queue, Kos readers can “recommend” diaries they believe deserve a wider audience. The diaries with the most votes stick around for an additional 24 hours. The recommended diary spot on Kos is a powerful media outlet in its own right. Last month, when an Alabama woman was fired from her job for refusing to remove the Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker on her car, her local newspaper wrote an article about it. That might have been the end of the story, but a Daily Kos user posted a diary linking to the newspaper article, and within a matter of hours, the story had spread across the blogosphere. The next day John Kerry himself called the woman and offered her a job on his campaign. The whole saga played out in its entirety in the Kos diaries. Moulitsas didn’t even participate. This scenario excites Brian Young, a Plattsburgh resident and former producer at Vermont Public
Blogs' best days are yet to come. Though an October 7 Harris poll showed that 88 percent of Americans had looked online for news in the past seven days, the vast majority of them went to traditional news media sites like CNN.com. Only 3 percent of respondents reported visiting the right-wing Drudge Report, the country’s most popular blog. Daily Kos didn’t even make the rankings. But Armstrong isn’t waiting for the majority of Americans to catch up. He’s moving on to the next frontier — using blogs to advocate, not just to organize. He and Moulitsas have just put $2500 each into a political action committee called BlogPAC. Their mission statement, posted on Blogpac.org, challenges bloggers to do more than just blog. “Being educated is the first step toward political change. But the next step requires doing something,” they write. Toward that end, they’ve invited their readers to send them video and audio clips of candidates. Armstrong and Moulitsas then use these clips to create multimedia Internet ads and pay for them to run on sites like CNN.com and Yahoo, which reach folks who would never visit a blog. It’s possible to “geotarget” them to reach only the voters in the right district, Armstrong explains. Another bonus: “You have a better chance of reaching somebody on the Internet on the afternoon of the workday, Monday through Friday, than you do on television.” Sitting at the computer in the living room of his Burlington apartment, Armstrong pulls up the template for his first ad, which is now running on CNN.com. The video was submitted by MyDD reader TexasNate, who posted it as a diary on September 13. It’s a 30-second clip from a debate between two Texas candidates, Republican Congressman Pete Sessions and Democratic Congressman Martin Frost. Because of redistricting, their two seats are now one, and they’re both fighting for it. In the video, Sessions compares 9/11 to a “home game,” and Iraq to an “away game.” Frost responds decisively. “Pete,” he says, “my wife is an Army officer, and she’s on assignment in Iraq right now...Pete, this is

not a game.” In Armstrong’s ad, the video plays in a small square surrounded by a grey-green graphic including an image of a tank and the words, “Tell Pete Sessions the Iraq War Is Not a Game.” Armstrong is clearly proud of his work. “It’s really damning on Sessions,” he points out. “I think it’s very effective. It’s a very good bio for Frost...His wife’s in Iraq. That’s not something you go around bragging about.” Frost’s campaign is less pleased about the ad, however. They didn’t respond to requests for an interview for this article, but Armstrong reveals that he and Moulitsas received a “cease and desist” email. Armstrong says he figured that would happen. “It’s kind of like the two-step game. Candidates disavow it, but that doesn’t have anything to do with how a voter reacts to it. They’ll do it in such a way where they’re condemning it, but they’re not condemning it — you know, how Bush did with the Swift Boat ads.” BlogPAC plans to continue running the ad until November 2. And more ads are on the way, Armstrong says. They’ve got one attacking Republican senatorial candidate Tom Coburn, which is running in Tulsa on Yahoo.com. A rabble-rousing clip of Tim Ryan, a Democratic Congressman from Ohio, bashing Bush on the floor of the House circulated through the blogosphere last week. Armstrong plans to turn the clip into an ad this week. He’s working on getting Howard Dean to do the voice-over. The next step is raising money. And the bloggers are coming through with it. After only a few pitches on Kos and MyDD, BlogPAC has already got over $12,000 in the bank. Some people are disturbed by one aspect of blogging: Increasingly, it blurs the lines between reporting the news and advocating for candidates. Noted technology columnist Dan Gillmor is not one of them. In an email interview, he asks rhetorically, “Is it good for democracy for partisanship to be so explicit? Better, I’d say, than if it’s hidden.” The author of We the Media: Grassroots Journalism By the People, For the People says he finds BlogPAC fascinating. And coincidentally, he lived in Vermont from 1969 until 1984. Gillmor notes, “Making blogs more than a bunch of disassociated voices strikes me as a logical next step in this evolution.” The next logical step probably won’t happen in this election cycle, however. Blogger Duncan Black — a.k.a. Atrios, author of Eschaton — sees the 2004 elections as a testing ground. Blogs’ true might, he suggests, won’t be felt until the next round of campaigns. Last week, he joined forces with Armstrong and Moulitsas, and began promoting BlogPAC on Eschaton. “The general idea, of course,” Black writes half-jokingly in an October 7 post, “is controlling the board for the ’06 midterms and making people weep before the all-powerful force that is the blogosphere.” 쩾

KRISTEN EATON The Accidental Activist by Kathryn Blume, produced by Mighty Ruckus with Vermont Stage Company, FlynnSpace, Burlington. October 5, 7:30 p.m. And on tour. Info: www.theaccidental activist.com.
arly in 2003, Kathryn Blume launched a plan: to inspire nationwide, even worldwide readings of Aristophanes’ antiwar play Lysistrata to protest the approaching invasion of Iraq. Assisted by the web, the project was a hit; on March 3, 2003 more than 1000 readings of Lysistrata took place in all 50 states and in 59 countries on six continents. Blume’s one-woman, autobiographical show The Accidental Activist tells the story of the Lysistrata Project’s development and aftermath, complete with plenty of funny, moving and altogether entertaining twists and turns. In both the play and real life, Blume is an actress, married to Vermont Stage Artistic Director Mark Nash, who “back and forths” it a lot between New York and Vermont. The dramatic action starts in 2002, when she is working a day job transcribing news interviews, mostly concerning the repercussions of September 11; she is, according to her own report, not what many casting directors are looking for: “not tall, not thin, not blond, not 12.” Blume is better described in positives. She has long red hair, slightly tussled, and dresses in a black blouse and pants. She’s artsy without being self-important. Despite the minimal set — a mini-trampoline covered in blankets and pillows, and a desk — she fully inhabits the stage from the moment she sets foot on it. And hers is quite an entrance. Blume

begins the show under stark top lighting, wearing a long, black robe. The set-up screams “performance art,” and Blume delivers: She holds a mask in front of her face and chants. What she chants doesn’t matter, because at this point the more skittish audience members aren’t listening;

they’re looking for the nearest exit. Suddenly, the lighting becomes natural and the mask and robe, along with the audience’s doubts, are cast aside: “Just kidding,” Blume says. “I am so not going to do that to you.” But after assuring the audience there will be only one audition story, Blume does offer a disclaimer: She will discuss her own political views, which are unabashedly liberal; you don’t need to agree with them, but they’re a part of her story. She wants to make the world a better place, to do big things. “I should have convinced the Bush administration to sign the Kyoto Accords,” she laments, “or figured out a way to sop up excess greenhouse gasses with a giant atmospheric maxi pad.” It’s a recipe for self-indulgence. But Blume artfully uses humor to temper her earnestness about the nation’s response to September 11, 2001, the war in Iraq, the environment, and so on. “We are counting down to Armageddon,” she says, preparing to transcribe another interview, “and I’m spending my final moments recording the success of a small group of secretive, insular, power-hungry, consciously violent people working against the common good and for their own gain…plus — I feel fat.” Even when things turn deadly serious, Blume maintains a light touch. “Watching the twin towers burn,” she says, “I kept thinking of this Bedouin song, ‘Fire on Top of the Mountain.’” As Blume sings, the song sounds bleak and haunting. “No wonder I just can’t take it
Peace Prize. She dramatizes the acceptance speech of the keynote speaker and award recipient, Amira Bakkan from Sudanese Mothers for Peace. Bakkan and the women in her community told their feuding husbands, “You get no piece of me till you give me peace” — a sentiment that’s echoed by the women in Lysistrata. Naturally exuberant, Blume calms herself down to embody the serene Bakkan. Recounting conversations with various characters, she is equally adept at portraying her husband Mark, her New Age therapist motherin-law, a journalist, a “Harvardeducated Middle Eastern Middle East expert” and a London associate named Genevieve. In the end, Blume always switches back to herself, fretting over how to make local action influence global powers. When she hears about the new organization Theatres Against Wars and its planned “day of action” in March 2003, she decides to take part. She knows what kind of event she wants to create: “a giant theatrical happening that will…make it totally impossible…to go to war.” But how? Eventually, an idea presents itself: Blume has been writing a screen adaptation of Lysistrata, “the original antiwar sex farce” in which “plucky Greek women deny sex to their husbands until the men lay down their swords.” Why not present a staged reading of the play? So begins the hugely successful Lysistrata Project. The rest, as they say, is history. But the U.S. goes to war anyway, and Blume is left to figure out what’s next. As it happens, the answer is another show: this one. By its

As the music rises, Blume sings along, and then begins to dance.

At one point, Blume attends a fundraiser for the Right Living Awards — what she describes as an indie version of the Nobel
end, Blume isn’t asking the audience to share her political beliefs about the war in Iraq; she’s asking them to care, and to take action. Blume did. Despite recent assertions that show-going might not be an appropriate activity in a time of war, both the Lysistrata Project and Accidental Activist bravely demonstrate that theater is not a passive form of escape, but, indeed, a way to fight back. 쩾

soundbites
BY CASEY REA EVOLOCITY
SIX-STRING SAGE Guitar gods are like golf pros: They’ve got the tips and tricks of the trade to help you improve your game — or in this case your shred. Celebrated ax-man Johnny A. will be at Advance Music this Thursday to teach Vermonters hot fretboard maneuvers and share his playing experiences. The Boston-based guitarist has a lot of licks in his musical arsenal, and 25 bucks gets you a spot in his “master class.” A former sideman for ex-J. Geils singer Peter Wolf, Johnny’s new solo CD Get Inside is winning critical acclaim beyond guitar magazines — the Washington Post calls his tunes “well crafted and melodically alluring.” Johnny doesn’t often host guitar clinics; if you want to see his licks up close, be sure to sign up. If you’re feeling inspired after the lesson, you may want be part of Advance Music’s Eighth Annual Acoustic Guitar Search at the end of the month. Dates and venues for the finals and semi-finals were not confirmed at press time, but registration is already underway at the Burlington shop.
PRESSING ISSUES? We’re in the final weeks of a tight, intense presidential race and, everywhere you look, entertainers and musicians are throwing in their two cents. Bruce Springsteen has put together the Vote for Change Tour, featuring fellow heavyweights R.E.M. Even P. Diddy was spotted at the Democratic National Convention. So when Wilco performed at Memorial Auditorium on Sept. 30, it wasn’t surprising they’d weigh in on the election, too. The first presidential debate was being held that night, and I met a few folks who expressed regret about missing it. Towards the end of Wilco’s terrific set, front man Jeff Tweedy directed a few choice snips at the man who currently occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “You’re all gonna vote, right?” Tweedy asked the crowd. His query was followed by hollers to the affirmative. “It’s madness,” he said of the Bush administration, “We hate it — it’s gotta stop.” Yet, reading a recent Burlington Free Press review of the concert had this reporter wondering if we were at the same show. Somehow, Wilco’s Bush-baiting was left out of a piece that seemed to include only select quotes regarding the debate and voting. The Freeps characterized Tweedy’s comments as “light-hearted” and described his dedication of Bill Fay’s haunting lullaby, “Be Not So Nervous,” as a reward for their “patriotic duty.” Interesting spin.
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
INDEPENDENT SIGNALS With media monopolies controlling nearly every aspect of broadcast entertainment, fresh voices and perspectives are getting fewer and farther between. Mad River Valley residents have a new option in FM radio that promises more than static transmissions, however: 95.1 WMRW is the latest addition to a roster of Vermont broadcasters who refuse to tow the corporate line. The 100-watt station was granted its “low-power” broadcasting license by the FCC, and aims to be “true community radio,” according to coordinating station programmer Ernie Bilbrough. WMRW plans more variety than is heard on many commercial stations; cooking shows, sports coverage and political perspectives will run alongside a wide array of musical styles. The station is completely volunteer-run; anyone wanting to pitch an idea for a show can call 583-2951 or log on to www.wmrw.org. At the antenna-raising ceremony on September 26 at the East Warren Store, the very first signal transmitted by the fledgling station was The Rolling Stones’ classic “Let It Bleed.” Not a bad way to start.
The mid-to-late ’90s were good years for live rock ’n’ roll in Burlington; many groups had the opportunity to mature their sound through constant gigging in area clubs. Hard rockers Spill were no exception, building a strong local fan base and eventually playing shows all over the Northeast. Yet after a couple of releases the band suddenly disappeared — most folks assumed they’d simply broken up. Well, not exactly. Deciding they needed a change, lead singer Aaron Incham and guitarist Shawn Baker headed off to Phoenix, Arizona, in 1999. Resettled in the Southwest, the two put together a new band, Evolocity, which continues Spill’s tradition of heavy, melodic rock. The group has been well received in its new haunts, even winning the title “Best New Band in Arizona” in 2001. Now Evolocity are on a national tour that is bringing them back to their former Vermont stomping grounds. Their new CD, Helicoil, will certainly appeal to old fans; it’s filled with angsty, post-grunge guitar work and Baker’s powerful vocals. Welcome them back this Friday at Club Metronome when they play a show with locals The Secret Neighborhood and Drinkfist.

ROBERT RESNIK
the ClubCar
In addition to her many contributions as the sole female “lead singer” in the Bluegrass Gospel Project, Montpelier folk and bluegrass diva Patti Casey has added sweet-and-low vocal harmonies to many Vermont musical projects over the past five years. She’s not backing up anyone on her third solo album, Just an Old Sweet Song. And Casey finally shakes free of the capable but too-numerous backup musicians who have assisted and occasionally cluttered up her previous recordings. Casey’s new recording is a collection of Tin Pan Alley standards, and she has only local jazzboy Paul Asbell’s understated, almost clinically accurate guitar work to compliment her lovely voice. On this album we get to hear Casey croon, purr and warble her way around Rodgers & Hart, Frank Loesser and the Gershwins. It’s a sultry, slow-dance stroll that at its best sounds as if she’s singing lullabies and love songs just for us. Like the most beautiful work of Rani Arbo and Liza Constable, two other fine vocalists from the Northeast, Casey just shines when given the time and space to let the music flow. “I’ll Be Seeing You” and “On a Slow Boat to China” are two of my personal favorites. The absence of audio fluff on Just an Old Sweet Song takes a lot of guts — there’s nothing to hide behind. Casey’s singing, full of its characteristic quaver and sway, swings an eyelash out of tune with Asbell’s guitar here and there, but for me this is a perfect example of the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi — the idea that there is even more beauty in things that are slightly imperfect. Presumably this collection comprises some of Casey’s own favorite songs, and it contains many small pleasures — such as the little yodel that pops up in her voice in “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and the surprise at the end of the disc. To finish up this volume of pop songs from the 1930s and ’40s, Casey sings an arrangement of the 18th-century hymn “Amazing Grace.” Punctuated by Asbell’s slide work, it travels from “church” to the Mississippi Delta and back again, and it’s a journey we listeners are lucky to take.
VILL A
(Self-released, CD)
Melodic rocker Sam Roberts is a relative unknown in the U.S., but his new release We Were Born in a Flame is so chock-full of ragged, ’70s-style anthems that obscurity probably won’t be his permanent residence. Operating in the same relative space as pop-rock strutters Big Star, Roberts and his band are like hairy renegades from a bygone era. A dedication to the craft of hook-filled, earnest rock is apparent everywhere on this disc. The Montréal native’s grainy voice weaves around ragged shuffles and scrappy guitar riffs with sultry authority. Cuts like “Brother Dawn” affect a T. Rex boogie, from hedonistic hand percussion to Roberts’ cocksure vocal delivery. His stabs at social commentary don’t really convince, however. Lines such as “Rich man crying ’cause his money is time… Poor man smiling ’cause he knows he’s not blind” are not only vague, they border on cliché. But the lack of poetic substance isn’t a problem considering the context; Roberts’ denim-clad band rocks in such an adorably scruffy fashion that it’s easy to imagine a new generation of girls fawning over them. The Beatles-influenced track “Rarefied” sounds like a funked-up outtake from Rubber Soul, yet it somehow charms despite an utter lack of originality. Ripping off The Beatles is a rock tradition, and it’s hard to fault Roberts and co. for continuing the trend. But the Fab Four had far more depth than any of these lads, and after a while Roberts’ dogged attempts at recreating the lost vibes of yesteryear get a bit tiring. If he weren’t so damn gifted with melody, you could write him off as another young rocker rummaging in the trash heap of rock ’n’ roll history; a musical tourist collecting souvenirs. Yet somehow Roberts avoids this condemnation due to his affinity for the material and a boyish innocence in his take on classic rock. And the authentic production on We Were Born in a Flame makes the disc feel comfortably familiar; it could easily find a spot on the CD changer in between Harry Nilsson and an early Jackson Browne record. If he grows into his gifts, Sam Roberts could become a contender for the rock ’n’ roll crown. Let’s hope he does — there’s too much potential here to squander. See him open for The Tragically Hip Wednesday, Oct. 20, at Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium.

A EXHIBIT “The Beauty of Usefulness: Inspiration From Traditional Japanese Crafts,” artworks by New England artisans. Shelburne Craft School’s Gallery on the Green. Through November 13.
ARTWORK Wall mounted sculpture (detail) by Nori Morimoto
PHOTO Marc Awodey
t the behest of U.S. President Millard Fillmore, Commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo Bay in 1853 to give Japan’s Tokugawa Shogunate an offer the country couldn’t refuse. Perry arrived with four massive black steamships, and paid his respects by “saluting” with a cannon volley from his flagship. Japan and America have been fascinated by each other ever since. “The Beauty of Usefulness: Inspiration from Japanese Traditional Crafts” at Shelburne Craft School’s Gallery on the Green demonstrates how that fascination has manifested itself on this side of the Pacific, in art. The exhibition includes the works of a dozen New England artists and artisans along with historic examples of Japanese crafts. Nori Morimoto, who has been living in Vermont for 10 years, finds inspiration in nature. His medium is wood. A laminated, wall-mounted sculpture, which includes minimalist carved and painted surface details, has distinctly modernist sensibilities. The same can be said of his furniture designs, which include a small round table and stools with beautiful wood grain. Nancy Moore Bess’ nonfunctional baskets are purely sculptural and influenced by Japanese aesthetics. “Tea Jar (long series)” is an ovoid form of bent bamboo, partially covered by textured, handmade paper and linen. Bess travels frequently to Japan. Another fiber artist, Elizabeth Billings, presents an example of Ikat weaving. Ikat is an Asian technique that involves precisely dying both warp and weft to create multilayered designs. Billings’ piece is a strip of cloth with handprinted forms woven over bands of black, grays, blue and beige. James Jack describes his calligraphic paintings as “a vocabulary of abstract forms” that have “no literal meaning, corresponding only to the inner world.” He studied the style in Japan and devotedly follows traditional techniques, including making his own butternut inks. “Calligraphic Comparison” is a complex matrix of squiggles, while “Kanji Evolution” is an almost Rothko-esque composition. In it a circular shape, painted wet on wet, dangles over a delicately lacy swirl. Japanese influences in Western ceramics have been abundant since World War II — ironically when the work of an English potter, Bernard Leach, began to receive critical acclaim. Leach had been raised in East Asia and studied ceramics in Japan between 1909 and 1920 before setting up shop in Britain with colleague Shoji Hamada. Leach died in 1979. “Hidasuki White Bottle With Red Fire Marks” by Jeff
Shapiro is one of a strong group of ceramics here — there are six potters in the show. Shapiro’s bulbous bottle has a dramatic red-orange glaze emblazoned across its milky-white surface. Less traditional is a place setting by Romulus Craft founders Ikuzi Teraki and Jeanne Bisson. The four-piece setting has a thrown stoneware bowl sitting on slabs, and is accompanied by a delicate, twisted spoon. Among the pieces from Japan is a well-used octopus trap. It’s a roughly hewn jug with a fat rope attached, and is a fine example of the sort of folk ceramics that found new appreciation in the early part of the 20th century. Other historic pieces at the gallery include a stunning wedding kimono of silk and silk brocade. It has brilliant red, orange and gold floral motifs
Japanese influences in Western ceramics have been abundant since World War II — ironically when the work of an English potter, Bernard Leach, began to receive critical acclaim. over white-on-white patterned silk. Cranes, symbols of long life and prosperity, also appear on the kimono. An interesting contemporary piece of folk design is a pair of boots made from tightly woven rice straw. Simultaneous with the Shelburne exhibit, the Fleming Museum is presenting examples of how Western art affected Japan, and vice versa. Under glass in the museum’s Wilbur Room are ukiyo-e woodblock prints by Ando Hiroshige in which spaces and landscapes have loosely assimilated Western conventions such as aerial perspective. After Commodore Perry opened trade with Japan, ukiyo-e prints became popular in Europe and inspired budding Impressionists such as Degas. Hiroshige’s “53 Stations of the Tokaido,” from 1833-34, is collectively a masterpiece of the ukiyo-e school. It perfectly complements the exhibition at the Gallery on the Green. m

ONGOING NEW DIRECTIONS Larry Bowling’s new body of work at the Doll-Anstadt Gallery in Burlington places less emphasis on collaged images than in previous shows, and more on collaged textures. As a result, his paintings are more “painterly.” Works such as “Talisman,” pictured here, feature energetic brushwork and vibrant, earthy hues in addition to Bowling’s moody subject matter.

BACK TO THE LAND Forty regional artists have contributed works in just about every medium — from oil paintings to pots, weavings to wooden wares — to “Envisioned in a Pastoral Setting,” an annual show at Shelburne Farms.

Friday Night Lights HHH

“
FRIEND ZONE Thornton tackles perhaps the subtlest role of his career as a small-town coach who cares.
o you feel 17?” a high school senior asks a friend in one of Friday Night Lights’ most quietly searing scenes. “I know I don’t feel 17.” The line is spoken by a young actor named Lucas Black. The reason his character feels older than his years has to do with the fact that he’s the quarterback on a team in a small Texas town which takes its football very seriously. Before the new season even starts, it’s made crystal clear to him that he’s expected to win the state championship. And the pressure’s not entirely from the outside. In his heart, he realizes that an athletic scholarship is his only hope for leaving the place behind and moving onto bigger and better things. Unusually well-drawn characters and the empathy its creators have for them are just two of the things that distinguish Peter (Very Bad Things) Berg’s latest from most sports movies. The film also benefits from exceptionally solid writing and a masterfully understated turn by Billy Bob Thornton. Thornton plays the team’s coach, an unassuming figure whose down-home demeanor belies hidden depth. He’s in a vise of his own. On the one hand, his salary is larger than the mayor’s. On the other, the citizens who pay that salary, from movers and shakers to ordinary working people, believe it buys extraordinary access to and influence over him. A family man who doesn’t want to uproot his wife and kid again, he knows that his ability as a team leader is only marginally more significant than his public relations skills. Once the season kicks off, though, things get real simple. He and the team either win games or lose them, and losing more than two will put the championship out of reach. Several members get off to a slow start, but things look promising thanks to the squad’s star player, a gifted running back who has “pro” written all over him. He’s the center of the universe for the town. Little kids bike behind him as he jogs through its streets. The best colleges in the country are already mailing offers. Derek Luke infuses the character early on with enough humor and humanity to keep him bearable as he waves Mercedes Benz brochures at other players and brags about the millions he’s destined to make. The focus shifts to several less gifted teammates when an
injury calls Luke’s continued participation into question. This is the point in a more regulation sports movie when lovable underdogs would fall behind, gradually hit their stride, launch a heart-tugging comeback and pull off the impossible as the clock runs out on the season. To its credit, Friday Night Lights has a more interesting game plan. The script spends at least as much time exploring the psychologies of the young players and the problems they face at home as it does rallying the audience behind their efforts on the field. These are unexpectedly affecting dramas. One player lives alone with his ailing mother and is conflicted about going on to college. Another is pitted against an abusive father (played nicely by Country Western warbler Tim McGraw), an alcoholic who attempts to bully his son into living up to his own local gridiron legend. Next to something like Varsity Blues or Remember the Titans, this comes off as Oscar-caliber stuff. The picture does build toward the mandatory Big Game, but it makes dramatic pit stops along the way, and it’s these glimpses into the characters’ lives and motives that give the quest for the championship its meaning. The only other movie I can think of that has done this sort of thing artfully is Hoosiers. That film did it better, but Friday Night Lights is in the same league. The games themselves are gravy — briskly paced, beautifully shot, bone-crushing battles as stirring as any in the long history of sports films. In addition to the Big Game, the film includes the mandatory half-time pep talk. What Thornton says at this pivotal moment and the way he says it have everything to do with the way you feel as you walk out of the theater. It may very well be the quietest pep talk in movie history. It’s certainly one of the most truthful and moving. Thornton’s performance is far more shaded and complex than it appears on the surface — I’d rank the scene with the most memorable of the actor’s career. Based on a true story, Friday Night Lights ends with a meeting of mismatched Texas teams. Movie critic law forbids my giving away the winner, but I’m going to anyway: Any way you score it, it’s the audience. m

In the Works shoot his adaptation of Howard Frank Mosher’s identically-titled novel about rum-running in the Northeast Kingdom during Prohibition. At the moment, the project appears “to have legs,” as Hollywood describes any effort that’s progressing. Craven received a $35,000 National Endowment for the Arts grant and has assembled a high-powered team of fundraisers. He hopes to get Disappearances underway in the spring of 2005. Meanwhile, the Peacham filmmaker has been preparing for the October 27 premiere of “Windy Acres” on Vermont Public Television. His sitcom, which will air each Wednesday at 9 p.m.
At the moment, Disappearances appears “to have legs,” as Hollywood describes any effort that’s progressing. send him spiraling into the future. Memory damaged, he meets up with the girl of his dreams (Keira Knightley). The film, produced by George Clooney, is set in Vermont. But it’s shooting in Scotland. Hey, at least they don’t have Toronto pretending to be the Green Mountain State. The Canadian metropolis is too busy subbing for New York, Chicago and almost every other American city. The Jacket cast includes Kris Kristofferson, long committed to Jay Craven’s Disappearances. The actor’s appearance won’t be realized until the Vermont director finds the money to

In his ever-present wife-beater shirt, he falls for a flatlander played by Seana Kofoed. She has moved to this small town from New York, with her two kids, after losing a job in marketing. Craven and his performers will attend a Burlington sneak preview of “Windy Acres” at 6 and 8 p.m. on October 16 at Champlain College Alumni Auditorium. Call 592-3190 for tickets.

DVD and VHS. Copies can be ordered online at www. kingdomcountry.com. Sometimes, we see films just for escape or entertainment. But it’s nice to periodically take a more scholarly look at motion pictures that have layers of meaning and character development. The conference “Movies, Books and the ’70s” focuses on “Hollywood’s Golden Age,” according to the Vermont Humanities Council, which is sponsoring the event next month at the Hampton Inn in Colchester. It’s all spelled out at www.vermonthumanities.org. On November 5, there’ll be a 7 p.m. screening of Woody Allen’s Annie Hall, followed by a chat with Middlebury College Assistant Professor Christian Keathley. The sessions on November 6 then examine cinematic works and their literary inspirations. In the morning, the choices are: Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad; Roman Polanksi’s Chinatown and Oedipus Rex by Sophocles; Milos Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and the Ken Kesey novel; or Melvin Van Peebles’ Sweet
Sweetback’s BaadAssss Song and Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin. After a buffet lunch, there are further pairings: Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan; Alan Pakula’s All the President’s Men and the famous investigative tome by Woodward and Bernstein; Coppola’s The Godfather and The Godfather Trilogy by Nick Browne; or George Lucas’ Star Wars and The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell. Participants might want to catch these classics on video beforehand; none will be screened at the conference. The gathering is essentially all talk, no action. Among the discussion leaders are University of Vermont Assistant Professor Hilary Neroni, author-editor James Monaco and Vermont Film Commission executive director Danis Regal. There’s also a keynote address by savvy critic Molly Haskell on “Easy Riders, Raging Bulls and Absent Women: A Decade That Changed Women’s Lives Except in the Movies.” Right on, sister!

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.
The president says he’s up-close-and-personal with the LORD. A MERCHANT of Venice sold red glass to Katherine Hepburn. For head comfort, a LAUREL wreath beats a crown of thorns. His real first name is TRISTRAM, which is why they call him Skippy. The law firm of ABBOTT, Church and Priestly is holier-than-thou. The branding iron SEARS a steer long before the gridiron does. “I’m a slo [sic] LERNER [sic] and a bad speller,” said Cabot Cwatt. SIMON Legree was not active in the civil rights movement. Said the first guy on earth to his former rib, “Madam, I’m ADAM.” Dick TRACY has a name that doubles as his job and other things. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY AS ANGELINA. 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.

ci-fi conceits involving impaired consciousness and some form of time travel are ubiquitous in movies these days. Memento, released in 2000, tackles this premise with a protagonist suffering from short-term amnesia. He tattoos notes on his body to help recall the past, even as his life is spiraling violently forward. In this year’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Jim Carrey’s character spirals backwards trying to outsmart a brain-cleansing procedure before it erases his failed love affair. The Jacket, a psychological thriller due out in 2005, stars Oscar-winner Adrien Brody as an unstable Gulf War vet subjected to experimental drugs that

FRIDAY 15
NOTEWORTHY Grammy Award-winner Paul Galbraith received a silver medal in the premier international competition for the guitar when he was just 17. The Scotsman has since toured the world many times over as a recitalist and soloist with various orchestras, and also plays with the Brazilian Guitar Quartet. Looking to increase his instrument’s range, he convinced a colleague to specially design an eight-string guitar with a metal endpin that rests on a resonance box. In his UVM Lane Series appearance, Galbraith offers a survey of works by Bach, Debussy and Ravel on his unique “Brahms Guitar.” It sounds like solid gold. PAUL GALBRAITH Friday, October 15, UVM Recital Hall, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $25. Info, 656-4455.

<calendar > scene@OKTOBERFEST PARTY OTTER CREEK BREWERY, MIDDLEBURY, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 8 P.M.
Otter Creek’s Oktoberfest may have been oom-pah-free, but it still managed to capture the spirit of the traditional German beer
bash. The company’s ninth annual benefit party provided plenty of food, music, and, of course, local microbrews. Folks lined up to sample $2 pints in the commemorative glasses we’d all been handed at the door. Rescue squad members gave tours of the two ambulances parked in front of the double tent, and also made the rounds selling tickets for an hourly 50/50 raffle. This year’s party raised funds for the Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association. Having spied the company mascot when I visited the brewery’s website, I was hoping to see a wee otter dressed in lederhosen and strong-arming several steins in each paw. No dice. There were at least two beer-maidens sporting dirndls, though, and a guy wearing a sort of plastic bib with the impression of lederhosen on it — not really the same as a real wool jumper, but it did protect his shirt, and provoke smiles. Local good-time party band Sleeping Dogs played eminently danceable blues, rockabilly and even a zydeco number, and it seemed that no one in the happy, gently inebriated crowd was too shy to shake a leg. Anyone yearning for a strictly authentic interpretation would have been better off boarding a Berlin-bound plane. What with the BBQ sauced-pork, gumbo and zydeco, the tent’s atmosphere felt more like Louisiana. But the beer tied it all together, and it was still a mighty good time.

SAY IT LOUD Although James Baldwin lived overseas for much of his adult life, he never stopped reflecting on his experience as a black man in white America. The novelist, playwright, essayist and activist weighed in on the U.S. civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. He added his passionate yet pacifist voice to the mix alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcom X. As an openly gay man, he grew increasingly outspoken in condemning any form of discrimination. Playwright-performer Calvin Levels embodies Baldwin in a one-man show providing the writer’s perspectives on personal liberty, creativity, and sexual and racial stereotypes. ‘JAMES BALDWIN — DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP’ Thursday, October 14, North Lounge, Billings Student Center, UVM, Burlington, 7 p.m. Free.

SETTLING THE SCORE “Not since the beginning of time has the world beheld terror like this!” The overthe-top tagline for the 1954 cult film classic Creature from the Black Lagoon camps up what was in its day the pinnacle of 3-D action thrillers. But for this particular showing, the original sound has been deep-sixed. Why, why? Led by sax impresario Roy Nathanson and trombone titan Curtis Fowlkes, New York City’s Jazz Passengers take on the sci-fi slugfest in a hipster version of Mystery Science Theater 3000. They let loose with tight improv tracks and their own comic comments as poor Gill-Man tries to make good on the screen.

TUESDAY 19
POISON PEN The Bush years haven’t been easy — except for cartoonists, who have had no shortage of material. But while many of his cohorts are tossing mere pen-darts, former Vermont resident Jeff Danziger has had a real axe to grind. His sharply critical book, Wreckage Begins With ‘W’: Cartoons of the Bush Administration, lays out and lampoons missteps made by various government officials on the national and international stages. The editorial cartoonist quick-draws for both The New York Times and The Rutland Herald, among other papers. He presents his work to fans and voters in person at Bear Pond Books this week. Satire is serious stuff — especially now, as we count down to November 2.

LOLA
the love counselor
Dear Lola, I work in an office with a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Ninety percent of the time, this is a great thing. But sometimes it gets out of hand. One of my co-workers, “Mabel,” delights in circulating email links to sites that tickle her fancy. This isn’t a problem, except when her fancy turns to sex — which has been happening more and more frequently. I’m a red-blooded American male who enjoys cyber porn as much as the next guy. But I find it disturbing to be surprised by these images, especially at work. And knowing that they’re coming from a colleague with whom I often work closely is particularly distressing — not to mention distracting. I know it’s all meant in good fun, and I hate to be a spoilsport or labeled the office prude. But the situation is becoming intolerable. What should I do? Bothered in Burlington
Dear Bothered, Mabel’s cyber-antics go beyond fun and games. They sound more like sexual harassment. Let Mabel know that you’d like to be deleted from her email list. If she doesn’t desist, you’re well within your rights to file an official complaint. Love, Lola

The Chair of the Board, or her delegate, will hold a prehearing conference in this matter on Monday, October 25, 2004, at 2:00 p.m., at the Environmental Board’s Conference Room, National Life Records Center Building, National Life Drive, Montpelier, Vermont 05620-3201. If the Commission granted you party status and this grant has not been appealed, and you wish to continue to participate in this matter, you must either attend the prehearing conference or, before the prehearing conference is held, notify the Board in writing of your continued interest. If you did not seek party status in this matter before the Commission, or if your party status is an issue on appeal, and you wish to participate as a party, you must file a written party status petition at or before the prehearing conference. Party status petitions must meet the requirements of Environmental Board Rule (EBR) 14. Failure to present a timely party status petition, without a demonstration of good cause to the contrary, waives all rights to party status and/or further notice of these proceedings. Those statutory parties which are identified in EBR 14(A)(1) - (4) who wish to participate in this matter should inform the Board of this interest before the prehearing conference but need not file party status petitions. All documents filed with the Board must include an original and ten (10) copies, a certificate of service, and be served on all persons on the service list.

OCTOBER 14-20
ARIES
(March 21-Apr. 19): The guy in front of me in the grocery store checkout line today was wearing a T-shirt that said, “Sublimely tacky, yet refreshingly unrefined.” That’s a perfect lead-in to the astrological advice I’d like to convey to you this week, which is: You’re most likely to be happy and successful if you stop trying to deny the fact that you’re a beautifully messy mass of contradictions. It’s high time for you to celebrate your inconsistencies and regard your mutability as a strength. I encourage you to invite all of your different sub-personalities to a big comeas-you-are party in your head.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Do you remember when you learned to read, back when you were 6 years old? One week the clumps of letters were indecipherable, and the next week you could actually make sense of them. I propose to you, Taurus, that you are now at a comparable threshold in the evolution of your emotional life. Feelings that have previously been obscure or puzzling will soon come into focus. You’ll be blessed with an upgrade in your intuition about your friends’ and loved ones’ moods. Your power to enjoy intimacy will dramatically ripen.
GEMINI
| SEVEN DAYS |
(May 21-June 20): Speaking to an audience at Harvard University, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia made the observation that “sexual orgies eliminate social tensions and ought to be encouraged.” While I do approve of you spending the next week exploring the frontiers of sensual pleasure, I’m not sure you should go as far as Scalia suggests. Or if you do, make sure you really like and respect your fellow orgiasts. Your
erotic adventures should never erode but should always support your spiritual values.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): A million jobs have been lost since our fellow Cancerian, George W. Bush, became U.S. president. The nation’s dangerously high budget deficit, now at record levels, is due to his spending hikes and tax cuts for the wealthy. He instructed the Environmental Protection Agency to go ahead and approve new pesticides without bothering to find out if they’d threaten endangered species. He ignored 49 retired generals and admirals when they asked him to take billions of dollars earmarked for his quixotic missiledefense shield and instead use the funds to protect potential terrorist targets such as ports and nuclear facilities. Despite these and many other extremist actions, millions of Americans still plan to vote for him on November 2. While other Crabs like you and I won’t have that much slack in coming weeks, we will get quite a lot. It may be time for us to try getting away with bold moves we haven’t dared before.

Anxiety and Depression Relationships • Trauma/Abuse • Sexuality Addictions/Compulsions • Diversity Individuals and Couples
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The astrological omens are pretty odd right now. They seem to be suggesting that your luck will be good and you’ll be in maximum alignment with the cosmic rhythms if you watch a lot of daytime TV, eat heaps of junk food, get no more than four hours of sleep a night and argue with yourself loudly in public. Just kidding, Virgo. I was merely testing to see whether you’ve become overly gullible towards so-called authorities like me. The truth is that you should free yourself from influences that presume to tell you what to do. Get their voices completely out of your head so you can clearly hear the still, small voice of your fiercely tender intuition.
LIBRA
film Angels in America, the character named Belize describes his vision of heaven. It’s not a spotlessly clean, gated community where everyone wears white gowns and nothing ever changes. Rather, it’s a “big city, overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew, and something new and crooked going up catty-cornered to that. Gusts of gritty wind, and a gray, high sky alive with ravens. Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian. Diamond-colored streamers. Voting

booths. Dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. All the deities are creole, mulatto, brown as the mouths of rivers.” While that’s not necessarily how I envision my ideal home, I love its implication that we should imagine paradise to be mysterious, intriguing and in flux. Let Belize inspire you to be soulful and poetic, Leo, as you update your own vision of perfection — your conception of the good life.
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Each of us has a name given by God and given by our parents,” writes the Israeli poet Zelda Mishkovsky. “Each of us has a name given by our sins and by our longing. Each of us has a name given by our enemies and by our love. Each of us has a name given by our celebrations and by our work. Each of us has a name given by the sea and by the stars.” Your homework for the coming week, Libra, is to figure out all 10 names that Mishkovsky says you have. Your identity is ripe for expansion; your sense of self is ready to bloom.

Jan. 19): I myself was born under the astrological sign of Cancer the Crab, but I’ve worked long and hard to make sure I love all the other signs equally. Similarly, I don’t belong to any political party, but I treat Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians and Greens with respect. And though I’ll be voting for John Kerry in the presidential election, that doesn’t mean I despise those who support

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To begin the 19th season of her TV talk show, Oprah Winfrey gave away a brand-new $28,000 car to everyone in her studio audience. Inspired by her example, I’ve decided to bestow an incredibly valuable boon on you: three love spells. The first will banish any resentments or hatreds that you harbor against old lovers. The second will boost your skill at seeing others for who they really are. And my third love spell will help you concentrate as much on giving love as on getting it.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): Cosmic omens can be interpreted on many levels. This week, for instance, some astrologers might credibly suggest that you Pisceans should work behind the scenes to gently coax people into serving your secret agendas. Other astrologers might urge you to go undercover to gather hard-to-access information that will help you build up your power. Yet other stargazers might predict you’re in line for some consciousness-altering adventures, and encourage you to seek out their most positive expression. I go along with all of those possibilities, but add my own spin: It’s a perfect time for you to carry out a riveting rite of passage for yourself, complete with awe-inspiring ceremonies and reverent communion with divine allies.

AQUARIUS
22-Dec. 21): Events in the coming week will bring the beginning of the end of an influence you love to hate. They will also usher in a turning point for your relationship with a person you should treat better than you do. And that’s just a fraction of the many adventures headed your way, Sagittarius. Finales and climaxes will be in the works everywhere you turn, and you will get one last chance to fix a long-standing mess before it explodes. Is that dramatic enough for you? No? You want even more? OK, then, how’s this: You may finally realize what you want to be when you grow up.

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your recent “experiment” reminds me of the Malaysian performance artist who locked herself in a glass box with 2700 scorpions, hoping to remain there for 30 days. After being stung by the poisonous arachnids seven times, she almost left early. Ultimately, though, she toughed it out. I figure you are at a point in your own adventure where you’ve managed to survive the equivalent of five stings, Scorpio. But in my opinion you’ve already proved your point. I suggest you finish the “experiment” immediately.
